Definitely rotten

The eldest prince's anger was almost enough to destroy his rationality. The blue veins on his forehead were throbbing. He really didn't expect that his little sister, who was a saintess but had no background or power, could actually overturn the Soro Family.

After all, the Soro Family was quite experienced in restraining mages. He didn't know how she, a spellcaster, could do it.

But now was not the time to explore this matter. The eldest prince patted his handsome face, feeling that the anger in his heart still couldn't be extinguished. He picked up a glass of fruit wine on the table and poured it on his head.

The light red liquid dripped down his golden hair, and the cold feeling gradually calmed his anger. The eldest prince stood still and wiped his face. His eagle-like eyes carried a hint of resolute viciousness, "Kill all the soldiers of the Morey Clan that you've captured, and then throw their heads at the entrance of the Morey Clan."

A guard on the side suggested, "Your Majesty, this is not a good idea."

Perhaps it was the word 'His Majesty' that made the eldest prince very happy. He actually did not object to the guard's suggestion. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, the Morey clan controls most of the kingdom's financial channels. If we rashly offend them, it is indeed not a good thing. However, we cannot just let this matter go like this. Kill that adjutant of yours and send his head to the Morey clan. Then, tell them that every captured soldier has to pay twenty, no, fifty gold coins as ransom, or I will kill them all."

The guard received the order and left.

Soon, Hosier of the Morey Family received the news. On his table was the head of the adjutant, which still had a pained expression on his face.

"The skill of pickling heads is not bad." Hosier sized up his dead clansman with great interest amidst the faint rancid odor. "It's just that the expression on your face isn't very good. You should look more frightened. In that case, I can add another collection to my treasury."

The guard on the side heard this and resisted the nausea brought about by the smell of the corpse. He looked at his master with considerable admiration and asked, "Master. What should we do next? "

"First, send a few gold coins to this clansman's family. The specific amount will be decided by Dole." Hosier thought for a moment and continued, "We will come down to the eldest prince's request. Go prepare the gold coins. "

The guard was shocked. "Master, this price is too high. Fifty gold coins per person. If we calculate it carefully, we can build a strong mercenary team."

"Is it a lot?" Hosier smiled faintly. The old man's face was as cunning as a fox. "The First Prince is asking us for an explanation. We killed his right-hand man, and the First Prince is very angry with us, but he has no choice but to rely on us, so he must regain his face. "

"If we let him gain face, our family will lose face." The guard was puzzled.

Hosier chuckled, "There's no such thing as having the best of both worlds in life. With the demise of the Soro Family, our Morey Family will be the most powerful family in the Royal City apart from the Royal Family. Child, you must learn to weigh things. If we take away our dignity as well, we'll be in trouble. What do you expect the royal family to think? What do you expect the First Prince to think? "

The guard suddenly understood. "The First Prince will shed all pretense of cordiality with us?"

"Yes, so we must be shameless at this time." Hosier thought for a moment and said, "Let Dole bring the gold coins to redeem those soldiers. We will offer a hundred gold coins per person. Also, let Dole tell the First Prince that we have no intention of opposing the Royal Family. The matter with the Soro Family is purely a personal grudge."

The guard nodded and then left.

When there was no one in the room, Hosier sighed and stroked the hair on the adjutant's head. He said softly, "Child, it's been hard on you. We will take good care of your wife and children. Rest assured, go to the Underworld Kingdom. "

Liang Lidong went left and right in the city. After disguising himself, he went to a small hotel near the palace and stayed there. He used hair dye, and in order to not attract attention, he stayed in a room that was very suitable for a minor noble, the kind that was neither too high nor too low.

He hadn't stayed for long. The First Prince's soldiers came to check the room. They first took out the portrait of Princess Emma and asked Liang Lidong if he had seen this woman. After getting a negative answer, they began to search the room, not leaving a single gap. But even so, they were still looking for something in the room, making the whole room a mess.

Seeing this, Liang Lidong pulled the leading soldier aside and quietly put a few silver coins in his palm.

The soldier smiled knowingly and pretended to search for a few more minutes. Then, he left with his men.

After that, Liang Lidong tidied up the room a little and picked up the mission list given by the Second Prince. There were many targets on it. Soon, he locked on to the next target, the Archbishop of the Church of Life, Edgar.

The Priesthood of the God of Life was now taken by Rose. The rise of the Temple of Woking would definitely cause conflict with Rose in the future. Under normal circumstances, killing an Archbishop would definitely cause a crazy counterattack from the Temple of Life. The Temple of Woking would definitely not be able to afford it. But if an Archbishop died because of a power struggle, it would not be that serious.

Killing an archbishop would definitely deal a huge blow to the Church of the Goddess of Life and weaken them.

But the Archbishop was much more difficult to deal with than the House of Soro. So, Liang Lidong had to be fully prepared.

Liang Lidong stayed in the hotel for a day. After making sure that he was not being watched, he went to the Great Cemetery to see the Second Prince.

It was still the same dim light from the magic crystals and the same unpleasant earthy smell. The Second Prince was full of smiles and seemed very excited. "I didn't think that you would really destroy the House of Soro."

Although the Second Prince had been hiding in the Great Cemetery, he still had spies outside. Of course, he knew about the destruction of the House of Soro.

"Big Brother definitely didn't think that I would have a surprise force like you." The Second Prince was so excited that he was a little incoherent. "Now that the House of Soro has been destroyed, his prestige will definitely take a big hit. Then, fewer nobles will be willing to side with him."

Liang Lidong retorted, "But no one knows that it was you, Second Prince, who asked us to do this. This won't increase your prestige among the nobles at all."

The Second Prince was stunned. Then, he thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. Then, for the next person you kill, just leave a message saying that it was me who killed the traitor. How about that?"

"Sure, no problem. As long as you add more bargaining chips, Second Prince, it will be fine."

"Don't worry. As long as I become king, not only the territory, I can even arrange your marriage with Emma."

Both of them smiled at the same time, feeling that they had achieved their goal. The Second Prince felt that as long as Beta and his sister killed the most influential people in the first prince's faction, he would definitely be able to defeat the first prince and take the throne after he came out of the Great Cemetery.

Liang Lidong wanted to kill the archbishop, and he was very happy that he could put the crime of murder on the Second Prince.

Both parties were happy. After chatting for a while, Liang Lidong left the Great Cemetery and slowly returned to the small hotel.

In the game, Liang Lidong had completed countless missions to assassinate certain NPCs, so he was very experienced in this regard.

To deal with a big shot, he first had to know his likes and dislikes, the defensive arrangements around him, and what abilities his guards were good at. After that, he had to draft a detailed route of attack, contingency responses, and retreat routes.

With Joan Of Arc, a high-altitude "scout," Liang Lidong could quickly grasp the terrain around the Church of Life, and for the past few days, Joan Of Arc had been monitoring the Church of Life, so she was soon deeply afraid of the archbishop's patterns of action.

The archbishop liked to go to the slums in the morning to preach his doctrine, and he did so at a fixed time. Liang Lidong felt that this was a good opportunity for an assassination.

Several people gathered around a table in the Mystra's Mansion space, looking at the map and sharing their views and opinions. In their view, the archbishop was dead for sure. After all, they now had three Master professionals, and the archbishop himself had only been a Master for less than two years.

Liang Lidong didn't believe that three Masters and a Summoner couldn't deal with an archbishop.

The queen listened for a long time, then hesitated to speak.

Liang Lidong keenly noticed her abnormality and asked, "Queen, you seem to have something to say?"

The queen took a breath, stood up high, and slowly lowered, full of seductive elasticity. "The Archbishop Edgar you want to kill is a good man, why do you want to kill him! Can't it be someone else? "

Emma glanced at her mother and said indifferently, "I'll kill whoever Beta tells me to kill."

Hollevin had a tradition of women following their husbands.

Kail smiled and said, "My teacher is a really good man, and the person he wants to kill is definitely a bad person."

Alice glanced at Kail and said shyly, "I'll go with Kail."

The queen smiled bitterly when she heard these words, then looked at Liang Lidong and said, "Edgar is really a good man. He treats the poor every day and gives them some food. He is highly trusted among the people. If you kill him, or if it has a negative impact on you. "

If Liang Lidong had just entered the game, he would have hesitated to kill such an old man, but later he saw more and knew that things were often not as simple as they seemed.

"How many people does Edgar treat every day? Does he give a lot of food to the people? Is it as luxurious as his own house? "

The queen was speechless. "I'm not sure …"

Liang Lidong smiled and said: "I have seen real saints, and there are more than one, but Edgar isn't one. I can 100% guarantee that he is not the kind of good person you imagined."
