Unless the other party suddenly left Backlund, if he kept wandering around, he would surely catch the loach that was good at hide-and-seek.
As for Backlund's divine descent, I am afraid that only the God of Steam and Machinery is watching here, and He is the true God who least needs to worry.
As He continued walking slowly along the street, he suddenly sensed that someone was trying to enter the Lord’s resting place.
Ourolius frowned slightly, as if he was making a decision, but finally sighed and chose to leave Backlund.
Backlund is still the same as before, nothing different.
Three days later, Ourolius appeared in Backlund again, searching carefully for Will's whereabouts, but still found nothing.
During this period of time, he had been hiding in the dark, trying to take the opportunity to fish out Will, but to no avail.
He wandered around Backlund for a few more days before leaving Backlund and returning to the land abandoned by God.
In a rented house where ordinary people live, Will is lying lazily on the sofa, comfortably enjoying his ice cream companion who was far away from him.
It's easy to see through the thoughts of the stupid snake Ouroleus. That level of IQ has basically said goodbye to the possibility of using wisdom.
According to his estimation, it will be a week before Ourolius returns to Backlund.
Taking advantage of this time, he could finally enjoy ice cream.
……
"Has the help not arrived yet?" Lennart Augustus said weakly while lying on the hospital bed.
This time, the reason for his illness was not an accident or coincidence, but a long-term illness.
After a series of unexpected coincidences, his body was already exhausted.
Even if there were no accidents as a pushing force, he himself might have fallen down like this.
"The latest news is to ask you to wait."
"Haha, wait a minute? Are you waiting to take back my urn?"
Lennart Augustus waved them away in disgust.
Could it be that the first thing my brother did when he ascended to the position of king was to use my life to pave the way for him?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
Outside the ward, Alfred was silent for a long time, and finally chose to leave.
Being scolded by Audrey made him want to resign to Prince Lennart and leave. However, seeing Prince Lennart's pitiful situation lying on the hospital bed, he couldn't bear it and could only continue to handle the relevant matters for him. matter.
Two days later, the depressed Lennart Augustus, the new Archduke of South Wales, died on his bed in his villa.
"Prince Lennart is dead?!"
Alfred was shocked when he received the news and rushed to the villa where he was staying. He only had time to see the body of Prince Lennart, which was covered by a white cloth.
"We need to report to the king and ask him to avenge Prince Lennart!"
"Prince Lennart definitely did not die of natural illness but was killed in secret!"
"It's a pity that Prince Lennart is not yet thirty years old!"
Alfred stood aside and listened to the indignant accusations made by Prince Lennart's cronies, especially the name of Count Hastur Campbell mentioned many times in their words.
He knew that another big storm was coming in South Wales.
……
In Port Punin, Hasta also received the corresponding news within a few hours of the death of Lennart Augustus.
In the study, Caius stood aside, his body trembling slightly. This was the first time he messed up something.
"Tell me, how did he die?" Hastur rubbed his brow lightly, feeling a little headache.
He has been busy recently with the matter of promoting the Homeless Man to Sequence 4, and has no time to pay attention to what is happening outside.
In his original plan, the accidents and coincidences against Lennart Augustus were just to cover up the blank time when he went to Intis.
After he came back, Caius was asked to suspend the attack, but he didn't expect that Prince Lenat would die so soon.
This will undoubtedly put Backlund's eyes on him.
In just a short period of time, two Archduke of Southwell died one after another. He was the most suspected and could not withstand any investigation.
"He died of a natural illness, probably due to being too weak and worried."
"Isn't it that you don't have a good sense of proportion?"
"We have always followed your arrangements and never thought of harming his life." At this point, Caius said with an ugly face: "We can't rule out that this is a chain reaction."
Hastur thought for a while, then asked Caius to leave and go to investigate the matter.
"Backlund should be very lively now."
Hastur whispered, and then his mind wandered to the matter of promoting the Homeless Man to Sequence 4.
As for this matter, it was just a little twist, but he didn't like this kind of unplanned trouble.
Chapter 410 Time Reset Talisman
Backlund.
News of the death of Lennart Augustus reached the desk of the new king, Govington II, from South Wales as soon as possible.
King Govington II was furious and vowed to make his brother's murderer pay the price, and entrusted the three major churches to jointly handle the matter.
Soon, this matter spread throughout the upper class of the Loen Kingdom.
Even Audrey, who has been living in seclusion recently, heard various comments coming from outside.
The most widely circulated version at present is related to Hastur, saying that in order to control all the power in South Wales, he secretly killed two South Wales Grand Dukes!
This version seemed to appear out of nowhere, and quickly caught fire, spreading among Loen's powerful people.
"Susie, there is something you need to do."
In the room, after some thought, Audrey decided to send her most effective assistant, Susie, to help her find out the truth of the matter.
"Woof!" Susie shook herself up and stood up, as if the whole thing was all about me.
"There have been a lot of unfavorable rumors circulating in Backlund lately that are not good for Mr. Hastur. I want you to ask Fors and Xio to help investigate who is secretly spreading these messages."
"At the same time, from now on, you should try to follow Count Hall every day to listen to things about Mr. Hastur, and then come back and report to me."
Audrey paused for a moment to give Susie some time to receive the information, and then continued to add some small details that needed attention.
After arranging Susie's work, Audrey was also thinking about what she could do to help Mr. Hastur who was far away in South Wales.
Regarding the death of the two Archduke Southwell, she didn't know if it had something to do with Mr. Hastur, but in the current situation like Backlund, someone must be secretly fueling the situation.
She wants to help Mr. Hastur find these people.
"I must write a letter to remind Mr. Hastur and let him know that someone in Backlandry is secretly targeting him."
Audrey quickly wrote a letter and sent it to South Wales.
Earl Hall saw this little move, but did not stop him. Instead, he asked Audrey to go to his study and told her some deeper news.
The new king, Govington II, has gradually accumulated reputation due to the victory on the Feysac Empire's battlefield, and even has a vague tendency to surpass George III.
After the victory in the foreign war, it is natural to want to eliminate some disobedient nobles in the country. Hastur, who was sent to garrison in South Wales, is one of them. Even the Hall family and the Negan family are also within the scope of suppression, but not yet. So obvious.
Emperor Roselle once said: "One king and one noble."
The new king will naturally support some emerging nobles and sweep some disobedient and stubborn old nobles into the trash.
Audrey listened quietly, then extracted the key information and summarized it, and then wrote another letter to Mr. Hastur.
I believe this is what Earl Hall wants.
During the internal meeting of the royal family, Govington II sat on the throne and glanced at these important royal members with cold eyes. The atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"The affairs of South Wales will be handled by the three major churches. A prince, my
My brother died inexplicably in South Wales, and someone needs to be held accountable for this."
"Some of the old guys in Backlandry should also move down. There is always a need to replace the old with the new."
"The Negan family, the Hall family, the Abe family, Frank, Deaton..."
Govington II spoke out the names of each family in a gentle tone.
News of the victory over the Fossac Empire came back from the frontal battlefield, which just boosted his prestige. This was the best opportunity to take action against the old nobles.
"Would this be too big of a step all of a sudden?" Some members of the royal family were worried that it would cause civil strife.
"Why do they cause turmoil? Noble titles are just shards of glass that break under the barrel of a musket."
"What I'm worried about is the economic aspect. Both the Hall family and the Negan family are deeply involved in business. If they are pushed too hard, it will easily cause them to resist."
After a long discussion, Govington II dismissed everyone and sat on the throne alone.
Before sitting on this throne, the throne was scorching hot, but after sitting on it, it was cold, bitingly cold.
"Is it worth sacrificing your own brother just to deal with a young earl?"
"It's worth it." Govington II's expression suddenly turned cold. "Anyone who may subvert our Augustus family should be strangled to death in time!"
The mysterious Zaratul had predicted the future of three people to him.
First it was Gretel Negan, then Audrey Hall, and finally Hastur Campbell. The person predicted to overthrow Augustus' rule in Loen was Hastur Campbell.
He asked Zaratul many times how the young earl would subvert their Augustus family, but received no reply.
Zaratul has never appeared again. According to people from the Secret Order, he has gone crazy again, and the situation is more serious than ever before.
He had no way of knowing the specific situation, but he vaguely felt that Zaratul's changes were related to the three prophecies he had predicted.
This also made him more convinced that he must get rid of that Earl Hastur Campbell!
At St. Samuel's Church, Leonard was once again asked to investigate in South Wales, but he refused.
This time, the church did not force him, but respected his wishes and sent others to South Wales to investigate.
Returning to his room, Leonard began to ask the old man his opinion on this matter.
"very good."
That was all the old man said to him.
