Chapter 276 The Governor’s Plan
When Count Tyrone came to the restaurant, Marquis Anthony was taking a potion from the bodyguard.
The medicinal solution showed a turbid dark green color, like stagnant water that had been exposed to the sun for half a summer.
Seeing Tai Lung arriving, Anthony smiled slightly: "Sorry, please sit down first, it's time for me to take the medicine."
Unplugging the stopper, Anthony put his nose up and was immediately smoked Gotta frown.
He shook his head, puffed up his cheeks, then put the potion to his lips, raised his head in a decisive gesture and drank it down.
Handing the potion bottle to the guard, Anthony picked up the cup and gave it a sip of black tea. Then he covered his mouth and let out a sigh: "Oh, every time I drink medicine, it's like being tortured. This taste is terrible. It feels good. We are about the same age, so do you You must pay attention to your health."
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Governor." Tyrone was polite, and then asked: "General Manager Nord Province, your health must not go wrong. Do you need to invite Archbishop Thomas to come and help you. diagnosis "Treat me?"
"No need." Anthony waved his hand and continued to drink tea to suppress the smell of medicine: "In the early years, he was working for His Majesty the late king and was hit by a harpoon from the Hai clan. Although he was lucky enough to survive, Hai The unique magic of my race is in me There is a root in the body, but it is not easy to die."
"Damn Sea Clan!" Tai Long said regretfully: "If you don't mind, you can let the alchemist in my family give you a diagnosis and treatment. Fan.”
Anthony shook his head and smiled: "Thank you Earl Tyrone for your kindness. This is not necessary."
Tailon did not force it. After all, Anthony is often in the royal capital, where the best alchemists in the entire continent are gathered, and there are even some specializations. The druids of herbal medicine couldn't cure him, let alone in Meng'en City.
After Anthony finished drinking the tea, the maids began to serve breakfast, and the sound of clinking knives and forks continued for a while.
After the meal, the maids removed the plates and replaced them with desserts and strong tea.
Anthony wiped his mouth and suddenly asked casually: "What does Earl Tyrone think about Fox Castle?"
Tai Lung's wrist stiffened and he almost crushed the cup, but he kept his composure and covered it up. He put down the cup and sighed softly: "It's really...unpredictable that the Fox family, which has been rooted in the Nord province for hundreds of years, would perish so suddenly. To be honest, I can’t quite believe it now.”
Anthony also put down his knife and fork: "Yes, although there was a slight disagreement before, now that the war has begun, I originally thought of lowering my profile a little and working with them to stabilize the Nordic province and not give it to Your Majesty. Adding trouble, but I didn’t expect it..."
As he said that, he picked up the tea cup and shook it gently, almost thinking about something: "The Slater family has been rooted in the Nord Province for much longer than Fox. I don't know how Count Tyrone can deal with the villain who attacked the Count of Montreal. Do you have any guesses?”
“This is really true of you. It stumps me." Tyrone rubbed his eyebrows: "Actually, I've thought about this too."
"Oh?" Anthony stared at Tyrone's eyes: "Then please tell me in detail. It may also provide some ideas for my future arrests.”
Tai Lung's breath hitched.
Antony’s words have a lot of hidden meanings. On the one hand, he is testing Tyrone’s tone. On the other hand, I am afraid that a person from the Nord province is needed to set the tone for this incident, so as to unify the entire Nord province. The caliber of the province of virtue.
"It is very likely that it is the Order of the Death Hand." After thinking for a moment, Tai Lung said: "But the biggest suspect is not on them."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Anthony was slightly agitated. Dissatisfied, he relaxed his brows only in the second half of the sentence.
The Order of the Hand of Death is a secretive organization that is notoriously difficult to offend. Once they are angered, they will usher in continuous revenge, regardless of the consequences.
If this charge is placed on the Order of the Hand of Death, then a series of big troubles will surely await Anthony.
"So, who do you think is the most suspicious?" Anthony asked.
Tailon pondered for a moment, raised his head and stared at Anthony: "It's me."
Anthony was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's you!? Count Tyrone, this joke is a bit too much. .”
Tailonbo But Jue did not mean to joke at all: "Before the arrival of the Fox family, the Slater family dominated the Nord province. Their arrival has diluted the interests from us, so we are the ones who are most looking forward to their destruction."
"Looking at the entire Nord province, we are the only ones with the ability, strength, and motivation to do this, the Slater family."
Anthony and Tyrone looked at each other for a long time, and the corners of their mouths gradually curled up.
The beast will show its softest belly as a proof of surrender.
Tyron is putting the soft belly of the Slater family in front of Anthony.
This step can be said to be a step back to advance. It not only shows Slater's position of closely following Anthony, but also pushes the problem back to Anthony, avoiding "Slater has become the outsider's dogleg" suspicion.
Anthony himself also knows that now that the Fox family has been destroyed, touching Slater at this time will only plunge the Nord province into chaos, which is not in his own interests, let alone the interests of His Majesty the King.
Thinking of this, Anthony smiled: "Count Tyrone is joking, this matter is as hard to catch as a firefly in the fog. Until the investigation is clear, I am afraid no one can give an accurate answer. "
Seeing that this hurdle was over, Tailong was relieved: "I hope the Governor can investigate this matter as soon as possible and stabilize our Nordic business. It will save the uneasy hearts of the nobles and restore the innocence of our Slater family."
"That's natural," Anthony said with a smile, "Next, I'm going to leave Men'en City and move to Hovey City. "
"Firstly, it's not convenient for me to disturb you; secondly, it's also to find out the truth of the matter and clarify the scene as soon as possible."
"But after all, I am not from the Nord province, and I don't know much about Ferdoro County. I wonder if Count Tyrone has any suggestions. Where should I start?"
Tailon said: " I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly here, but the Governor might as well come with me to the conference room.”
Of course Anthony would not refuse this proposal, and followed Tai Lung to the study room, facing the table together. Nord province map.
This map looks like it has some history. The Fox family, which recently perished, is still on it. Even the changes in Raven's territory are marked manually.
Feldoro County, the largest county in the entire Nord province, is also the territory of the Fox family, but now the name of the Fox family on it is as dazzling as blood.
Count Tyrone's expression remained normal: "As the Governor sees it, Ferdoro County is located in the southeast of the Nord Province, adjacent to the Molinier Province in the south and the North Sea Province in the east. It is a transportation hub for the three provinces, although it lacks a big river. Transportation, but also very bustling.”
"The humanistic style here is basically based on the toughness of the Nord province, combined with some of the shrewdness of the North Sea province, and the roughness of the Molinier province. Generally speaking, it is not particularly easy to manage. In terms of public security, it is also the most chaotic in the province.”
“Plus. With the Fox family destroyed, the first thing the Governor will probably face is the security issue. It is best for the Governor to start from this point."
Anthony was very satisfied with Tai Lung's introduction and continued to ask: "Then, here. Are there any forces that require more attention? ”
"The headquarters of the Nord Province Mercenary Guild is located in Hovey City." Tyrone introduced: "It is said that it has close ties with the mercenary guild of the Principality of Eivor in the north. In addition, there are some small-scale guilds common in the empire. The secret sect cannot make any waves.”
The mercenary guild was once very prosperous. Around 600 years ago, it had a vague influence on the situation in the mainland. Many nobles were proud to join the mercenary guild.
It is undeniable that the mercenary guild has made outstanding contributions in history. It is precisely because waves of mercenaries went deep into dangerous places for wealth and fame that they opened up one livable place after another for the human race.
But later, as the ambitions of the upper echelons of the mercenary guild expanded, they even wanted to break up the soil and build a country. They were unanimously strangled by the major forces of the human race. Now, it has basically been reduced to a purely transactional organization. Political unity was lost. As for those so-called secret sects, most of them are extraordinary people who can't get ahead of themselves and take advantage of the opportunity to make money.
Others are a group of lunatics who get together to eat some psychedelic herbs and mushrooms, drink alcohol, and have parties. If you look closely, 60% of them are pure nonsense, and the rest are pure nonsense. The next 40% mostly worship some weird magical creations.
"Yeah...I know." Anthony nodded slowly.
In fact, after arriving in the province of Nord the year before last, Anthony hid his identity and traveled around the province, and he knew quite a bit about the Ferdolo County where the Fox family was located. What Tyrone said was consistent with what he knew. Not bad at all.
In this case, there shouldn’t be much trouble taking over Hovey City.
“Thank you Earl Tyrone for your explanation. Now I know better how to govern this territory.”
Although the Fox family has been destroyed, the army is still there, and Anthony can completely control it. With it in hand, it can clear up some big messes.
And because of the chaos caused by the demise of the Fox family, it is likely that the Secret Order will have the illusion that it can start an uprising. This part can be left to the mercenary guild.
It doesn’t cost much, and it can make people work hard, so why not?
In addition to these two, there is another important part that Earl Tyrone did not introduce and Anthony himself did not ask about, that is, the local nobles.
Anthony does not need to ask, because his ability to deal with nobles does not require anyone's guidance.
They have been frightened to death by what happened to the Fox family. As long as Anthony gives them a little benefit and shows his skills, they will naturally be able to calm them down.
"Mr. Governor, it's almost time." Akori knocked on the door of the conference room: "Everything is ready and ready to set off at any time."
Tailon was stunned: "Mr. Governor, are you leaving now? "
"Time waits for no one," Anthony said with a smile: "Such a bad incident happened in the territory, of course I have to go there as soon as possible. Yes, otherwise, it would be a shame to meet the ardent expectations of the people in the province."
Tailong Zhanyan said: "Then I would like to congratulate you, Lord Governor. If you have any orders, please feel free to write and I will take care of it. Execute! "
When the Governor left, Tai Lung of course had to see him off, and sent him 20 miles outside the city before turning around and returning to Men'en City when it got dark.
Tyrone was not in a good mood.
Not only because there is an extra Antony on his head, representing the royal power, but also because he is dissatisfied with Antony's behavior.
Indeed, Earl Tyrone also admitted that no noble today would really abide by the honor of the so-called nobles, but at least the superficial skills must be in place.
But Anthony is too impatient.
I arrived at Munn City 3 days ago and immediately issued a decree as governor; the Fox family was declared destroyed 2 days ago, and I can’t wait to go to Hovey City to take up my post today.
It was as if he was afraid that others would not be able to guess his relationship here.
Tailon sighed, becoming more and more worried about the future of the Nord province.
Tailon is not the only one who is thinking about Anthony, in fact, the nobles of the entire Nord province are paying attention to the whereabouts of the new governor.
Since he set off from Hovey City, someone has posted his news on the Skyhawk platform and recorded his steps.
On March 12, Anthony left Mengcheng.
On March 15, Anthony left Hodges County and entered Mansa County.
On March 22, Anthony left Mansa County, passed through Arag County on the same day, and arrived in Ferdoro County where Hovey City is located.
On March 27, Anthony arrived in Hovey City, met with the remaining 11 knights of the Fox family, and took over the Fox family's Firefox Army.
"There is still no new news today." Raven rubbed his temples.
In fact, soon after Anthony entered Mansa County, the news on the Skyhawk platform began to lag, and the lag became larger and larger as Anthony moved forward.
On the Sky Eagle platform, the latest news about Anthony was already five days ago.
After all, a simple version of the Intellectual Magic Network can only cover a small half of the Nord province, and it is unable to cover any further outwards.
Would you like to buy another copy?
This idea flashed through Raven's mind and was immediately rejected by him.
In fact, as early as the competitive competition, there were calls for Lei Wen to expand the coverage of the Skyhawk platform, but Lei Wen never did so.
It's not just because of financial problems - there are actually 820,000 gold coins in Raven's warehouse, enough to buy one.
But there are many aspects to consider. First of all, Raven must prepare for his promotion to level 4, and the necessary magic-upgrading potion formula is nearly 400,000 gold coins.
After the Fox family was destroyed, Raven's desire to advance in strength became even stronger.
In addition, Raven also has political considerations.
The Sky Eagle platform is not only a sales platform, but also a huge intelligence network. It covers half of the Nord province and can barely be tolerated by Anthony.
If it really covers the entire Nord province, Raven may have to "voluntarily hand over" the Skyhawk platform.
Unless Raven can be promoted to earl, the scale of the Skyhawk Platform must not continue to expand.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
After receiving Raven’s permission, Petty walked in holding a tray Tingting:
“Master, this is an express message sent via the Mercenary Guild, and this An accompanying gift”
Looking at the tray placed in front of him, Raven's eyes first fell on the gift wrapped in silk. He stretched out his hand to remove the ribbon, and the fresh fragrance of tea hit his face.
“Earl Jonah is really a kind person.” Raven smiled slightly: “I was about to run out of blood tea, but I didn’t expect another can.”
He happily took this. After putting the tea leaves in the cabinet and putting them away, Raven opened the envelope and read it, his expression began to become solemn.
"Petty, call old Gordon over immediately...and Bucky!"
