MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 101
The relationship between Anxu and the local nobles reached a freezing point when the news of the appointment of Chris as the chief knight spread.
This news caused an uproar among all the remaining knights, and the remnants of the Glory Knights were in an uproar, and all kinds of rumors were everywhere for a while. Some said Earl Anna was so dazed that she could not be loyal; some said that she deliberately used this method to humiliate the knight and was not worthy of being a lord; more were foul language about the new first knight.
Many middle-level nobles who were still preparing to make a living under Earl Anna did not dare to talk to their immediate superiors, and all pointed their finger at the persimmons that were easier to pinch. There are various versions of the nasty rumors about Chris, emphasizing how the "pseudo-knight Chris" made the lord fascinated by his coquettish posture, and how he was debauched... as if to come up with a story.
This kind of story of the three vulgarities has a market among the crowd, coupled with the vigorous publicity of the nobles, it quickly swept across the entire Bungalow border.
However, the stagnant water at the border was muddied, which also made it easier for An Xu's team to blend in and fish in troubled waters. Here's an episode, the one who did the best job of fishing in troubled waters wasn't the people from Nightingale's Throat, but Jay.
This young man seems to have a natural affinity. He is good at observing words and expressions, but he also acts sincerely, which can make people let go of their guard against him in a short period of time. When people from various lords were walking around in the crowd, and one or two more people became inconspicuous, Jay blended in like a duck to water. He imitated the local accent perfectly, and even learned a lot of the language of the people of ice and snow.
In short, the list was placed on Anxu's table.
She flipped through the list with the sources of the messages, and was amazed as she read it. If it wasn't for this group of people jumping out in a hurry, An Xu would not have realized that there are so many nobles and knights in the Wenjialuo defense line.
Unlike the Tibes defense line, which moves from time to time, the Vengalo defense line is as stubborn as the ice and snow here. The lords here come and go, the knights come and go, even though the animal tide and the cold winter have consumed a lot, the descendants of the nobles and the upstarts newly appointed by each lord over the years are like the scale on the cup, accumulating thicker and thicker. They pretended not to exist when the lord needed them, and when their interests were violated, they crawled out buzzing like driven bloodsuckers.
"My lord, please order these **** to shut up! How about we set fire to the place where those people live?" Jay said angrily. He has an omega master, and there are many omega among his classmates at the same time, so he is more righteous and indignant than the person involved in the rumors.
"Rumours are hard to eliminate." An Xu touched his chin and said, "However, it's easy to create."
The little nobles who spread rumors to put pressure on the lord and vent their anger discovered one day that the rumors that prevailed on the border were not the version they spread.
Brilliant! Baron A's XX generation of ancestors had an affair with a priest #! Isn't Baron A a descendant of Viscount B?
Stimulate! C's grandfather did not die in battle! Was it Xunhuawenliu who got a bad disease and immediately got wind?
Shock! D Knight was not born as a regular nobleman! What frightening secret is hidden in the illegitimate son's conversion?
Hot! Priest E visited the sheepfold every night, and once he was broken into by someone, he discovered... Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?
Etc., etc.
These all kinds of vivid rumors have appalling titles, appetizing follow-ups, and a lot of pornographic and violent content, which only make the local people who lack entertainment want to stop. Even the rumor spreaders who received noble salaries were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help gossiping with their colleagues, and the colleagues gossiped with their family members. Under these unconscious and free publicity, the newly released rumor version crushed all the previous rumors in an instant.
Without him, the topicality is really incomparable.
In the information age that An Xu has experienced, everyone has to read countless information every day. The world is too big and the human brain is too small, and most things are swept away. In such an era, all the media are working **** the headlines, trying to get the most attention with the simplest headlines. Even the health-care articles in the circle of friends know that they are ignoring the edge. The routine that can break through countless information and leave an impression in An Xu's mind, if you take out some random ones, it is enough to slap rumors that are ambiguous, half-hearted, and have no actual content.
As for Bihuang? Hehe, I have read more books about Little Yellow Mosquito, Bill and others.
Naturally, the little nobles were not led by the nose like the uninformed people under their hands. However, while they were choked with anger, they also felt a little panicked.
These appalling rumors are nonsense, but there are some inexplicable details that are not far from the truth.
The XX generation of Baron A's ancestors used to have a very close relationship with the church, had an extremely devout head of the family, and even funded the construction of a small auditorium for the monastery. Although the C family's grandfather died in battle, there was no body left in the beast tide, and the family records are indeed very good. D Knight once argued with his half-brother about the legitimacy of the title, and they disagreed with each other. Priest E was almost canonized because of his piety, but the content of his piety was praying in the place where the sacrifices were placed all the year round—that is, the sheepfold...
So far few people know that An Xu is a person with a good memory.
Although she always looks like "ah? Oh, there is such a thing", it's not that she doesn't remember things, it's just that she doesn't even bother to use the strength to recall, anyway, someone else can help remind her. The library of St. Andrew's Theological Seminary is in her mind. When she was in Abery City, An Xu had nothing to do, so she went to the library of the Sullivan's house to look through all the books (including various genealogies, etc.), Into the library of the mind.
How about aristocrats, they have a long history of renown, and there are pieces of black history that can gossip, and some of them don't need to make up rumors.
Not to mention others, even the descendants of these rumors, can't help but feel terrified. Some rumors accidentally came to the truth, and the people who were talking about them were furious, and at the same time they became suspicious of others, thinking that other rumors were also true. That's all about the messy romantic history, the legitimacy of other people's heirs? Murder grudge problem? Ah, there are a lot of things to do in this, and there are a lot of advantages to take advantage of.
The nobles who united to put pressure on the lord all regained their previous restraint for a while. They were not monolithic in the first place, and now they stared at each other with their eyes on the lord, thinking that they could not take advantage of the lord, and it would be a good thing to kill neighbors of similar size.
However, they forgot the lord for a while, but their lord did not forget them.
On a certain winter day with good weather, Anxu invited the nobles.
They still remembered how the last banquet ended, and they were a little reluctant about the invitation to the banquet. Except for a few people with ulterior motives, most of the nobles think that Derek and the others are too stupid. After all, the lord of the flowing water, the iron-clad nobles, why bother to hug a ship that is about to sink in the wind and rain? These people were ready to shirk, but then they found that they couldn't shirk, because their lord himself was among the people who sent the letter.
According to reliable sources, at the banquet that day, she personally killed one person in ten steps, Anna, the big killer who never stayed behind. sullivan.
So the nobles followed.
The urging letter was delivered very well, every time it went directly to Xungui's location, and he caught every one accurately. Everyone was busy intrigue, and no one thought that Anna, who was in a high position, would be so shameless that she ended up in person. The promised son of a daughter can't sit still! How can one use the ultimate weapon to kill the Quartet at the beginning!
"I don't have enough manpower." Ansut said innocently, "I came to invite you in person, are you very moved?"
Leaving aside whether this statement would make the audience choke with old blood in their throats, everyone on the list was present and followed Anna to the banquet. Talk about a banquet, but the venue is in the open air, where people come and go, and many people are looking around, making this group of nobles who are used to being high above them quite uncomfortable. There are only tables, chairs and hot water on the venue, no wine and food.
"My lord, your hospitality is really frugal." Someone shouted.
"I'm not as wasteful as Derek." Earl Anna said, "It's too much to throw away a table of good food."
Some people have already begun to think about their backhand, retreat, or escape route with a bad face.
"Don't worry, I'm not the protagonist today." An Xu said kindly.
A man walked into the clearing.
There was a whisper among the nobles, and many people's expressions relaxed, thinking that this was a sign of the lord's surrender. Generally speaking, the open space in the middle of the banquet is prepared for performers. But the person standing in that open space is not a performer, but the protagonist of the recent dispute, "First Knight" Chris.
"Ah, are you going to have Mr. Chris entertain us?" said Lorien.
"It's not just to add to the fun. To be precise, the theme of this banquet is actually this. There is no food left, and there is no food prepared for you." An Xu said, "Lauren, you go up."
"What?" Laurian's expression froze, feeling that he had heard it wrong.
"Compete with Chris." An Xu said with a normal expression, "Don't you think it's unfair? Yes, the black box is not very good, let everyone witness it."
Chris is holding a plain iron sword with no armor. He stood there normally, even nodded to Laurien, just like when he was the head of the Gale Knights.
"You...how can you take off the God's Chain of Retaliation?" Laurian tremblingly pointed at his bare neck, "That's a dangerous person!"
"Bully a man with a lock? Show some face." An Xu said impatiently, "Didn't it mean that he is incompetent and unworthy? Well, everyone who thinks he is unworthy should give it a try. No one deserves it."
Laureen's face was ugly.
As a member of the Glory Knights, he couldn't be more aware of Chris' strength. Didn't Laurien know that Chris was an omega when he was the head of the Gale Knights? No wonder. At that time, I didn't find any faults, it was just that I couldn't find them.
The vulture only dares to show off its power to the lion that has pulled out its minions.
"Don't dare?" Earl Anna sneered, "Then, as punishment for slandering the chief knight, there is no need for you to be a knight."
Everyone's eyes fell on Laurian. He jumped up and down in the previous pressure action and won the leader's position. Now he is riding a tiger and has no choice but to bite the bullet and play. Laurien tried his best to maintain a handsome smile, he pulled out the rare steel sword on his waist, and stood opposite Chris.
It's just an omega, and the people who lost to him are just too incompetent. he comforted himself. What's more, this omega has already been defeated by others and has been marked by others. It will definitely not be the same as before. It has lost all courage. It is just an omega! As long as I show my alpha spirit, I will definitely...
when!
Laurian's fingers were numb, and he watched in disbelief as his sword flew into the air, drew a bright arc, and fell to the ground.
Less than a face-to-face, what happened in just one breath.
Chris smiled at him, and there seemed to be some apology in his smile, as if he was saying that he had no choice but to lose face in order to be in a hurry. Earl Anna was very direct, she laughed and bent over exaggeratedly.
"My God," she said, "what's that? Next!"
It didn't take a second more for the next challenger.
So is the next one.
"Next-one-" Earl Anna dragged out her voice boredly.
There is no next one.
The nobles looked at each other, unwilling to go up and lose face. There were more and more onlookers, and they surrounded the venue as if watching the excitement. Those who were quite strong and those who had already received the favor of the Gale Knights cheered for Chris in the crowd. They pushed each other and hesitated for a while. If Count Anna came to ask another question at this time, he would probably follow suit.
Unfortunately, Anna didn't want to ask.
"Is there no one?" An Xu mockingly glanced at the group of nobles, clapped his hands, and said, "Then I declare that Chris Field is my chief knight."
Although they complained about not asking them for their opinions, everyone was sensible and did not speak. Immediately afterwards, Anxu announced the second order.
"One more thing," she said, "everyone here has been fired."
