Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2104 You and Yersen were both taught by me. Did I teach you bad things?
Morning Flower Castle, Study.

Looking at the now-blacked-out screen in front of him, Brand asked with some confusion:

"what's the situation?
Why does Gerhard seem completely unprepared to attack the Black Moon Spire?
He endured such immense hatred?

At this moment, it is after Brand and Gerhard have finished their conversation.

Hearing Brand's question, Chris, who had overheard the entire exchange from outside the perspective of the empty screen, walked over and casually said:

"Isn't it obvious? The Black Moon Spire must have an extraordinary relationship with the Moon Empire or the Moon Royal Family."

As for the issue of hatred, His Majesty Gerhard is a staunch advocate of reconciliation, even regarding their generational feud with the Caesar Empire.

To the Mun Empire, he was clearly a wise and devoted emperor.

Upon hearing this, it became clear that Brand's slightly furrowed brows showed no signs of easing.

After pouring Brand a cup of hot tea.

Chris smiled and then changed the subject:
"Of course, other possibilities also exist."

According to intelligence, at the time of the incident, Richard Gaines, the former emperor of the Moon Empire, was terminally ill, and almost no outsiders had seen his condition.

The specific details of that assassination attempt were purely the public statements of the Moon Empire... or rather, the Moon royal family.

They certainly provided some evidence.

But there is another possibility:
His Majesty Richard actually died of natural causes, not from assassination.

However, at that time, the Moon Empire needed to divert hatred.

So His Majesty Gerhard met with his younger brother, Ryan Gainres, the leader of another faction in the Moon Empire, who was his adversary.

Together with the Southern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom, the Black Moon Spire, with whom they had an unusual relationship, they staged a 'hitdown of the emperor' drama, thus allowing the Moon Empire to overcome that crisis.

Hearing this speculation, combined with the turning point and changes that the Moon Empire underwent after that incident, makes one realize the significance of this speculation.

Brand quickly felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through.

As he followed Chris's deductions and thought further, he gradually became somewhat surprised and said:
"In that case, is it possible that Mr. Richard Gaines, like Enrique Lambert of the Mountain Dwarfs, became an undead?"

Perhaps he's even at the Black Moon Spire right now?
Could this "Black Moon Spire" be controlled by the Moon royal family behind the scenes?
By the way, I heard from some lords that the Moon Empire should have allies in the Southern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom.

Could this ally be the Black Moon Spire?

With that in mind, Brand casually sent a message to Lord Holland.

After Lord Holland, who was in the carriage, appeared on the other side of the empty screen, and Brand asked this question.

Lord Holland casually replied:
"If you're asking about this, I'm not really sure either."

This matter is obviously quite sensitive, and the Moon Empire will certainly try to cover it up.

However, the Black Moon Spire is indeed one of the forces on our suspicion list.

What? Did you receive some special intelligence?

Brand nodded and said:
"More or less. The Black Moon Spire seems to have a good relationship with the Moon royal family, but I'm not entirely sure about the exact extent... You've come to Morningflower Keep? Did you come to see me about something?"

As they were talking, Brand noticed that Lord Holland suddenly stepped down from the carriage. The surrounding area was exactly where the carriages were parked in the inner area of ​​Morningflower Castle, which made Brand a little curious.

Then, Lord Holland smiled and shook his head, saying:
"I'm not looking for you, so just go about your business."

I only brought a small gift for Issi today.

By the way, should it be in your home's Warcraft park right now?

Brand suddenly realized:

"You're looking for Isis? It should be there right now, but don't let it go astray."

Upon hearing this, Lord Holland said with some disdain:
“You and Yersen were both taught by me. Did I teach you bad things?”
What you're saying makes no sense!

Brand couldn't refute the fact that Lord Holland had presented. After a brief moment's thought, he said nothing more.

The conversation with Mr. Holland has ended.

After dealing with some government affairs with Chris in the study for a while,

Gerhard, who had just ended contact with Gerhard, sent a message.

After the connection was quickly established, Gerhard patted the wooden box in front of him and then smiled:

"Brand, I've had someone bring you the detailed information you requested about the characteristics of [Star Element]."

Our Guinness family has indeed done some research in this niche field in the past, but we don't think we've gone into much depth.

Hopefully they will be of help to you.

In addition, we agreed that you would help me secure the right to use your Empire's Supreme Teleportation Array.

The nobles over there are now preparing to go it alone in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

So we're about to have a headache over the teleportation array.

Although the undead also have low-cost teleportation methods, it's still a sensitive issue.

Upon hearing those final words, Brand understood perfectly.

—The Moon royal family may indeed have developed undead forces in the Kingdom of Eternal Night!
Lost in thought, Brand smiled and assured him:
"Don't worry, our North Holland family also participated in the development of the Supreme Teleportation Array. I'll just let Uncle Berhand know later."

"I'll definitely get this sorted out for you."

Saying this, they waited for Gerhard to grant them access.

A portal connected the two ends of the empty screen, and a wooden box filled with research data was teleported over.

Shortly after, the communication with Gerhard ended.

After briefly explaining to Mr. Sanders Dahl, the Director of the Imperial Armaments Department, that the Moon Empire wanted to borrow the teleportation array, the matter was considered settled.

Then, as Brand examined the magic crystals inside the wooden box, he felt a surge of joy.

He thought he would have to go on a trip to Rios, but he got it right away.

……

Because they easily acquired some knowledge about the properties of the [Star Element] in the Moon Empire.

So Brand then took this knowledge directly to the library tower and, together with Anna and others, tried to establish a model for filtering elemental information.

An attempt was made to efficiently filter the complex [Star Element] information obtained by [Star of Blossoms] on the continent of Vantim.

The results were also encouraging.

After just a few days of preliminary research, they roughly constructed a completely new model and then filtered out an astonishing amount of useless information.

Although the amount of information remaining is still overwhelming, people are now seeing hope.

In an instant, an atmosphere of joy spread throughout the library's research department.

However, this occurred nine days after Brand acquired the relevant knowledge from Gerhard.

An important matter pulled Branda out of his research state.

—The Elf Forest has sent him new information regarding the visit of the [Magic God] from the [Radiant Fire Hall]!

On the empty screen, Brand's father-in-law, Mr. Derek, solemnly said:
"The timing has been basically set."

The day after tomorrow morning, Lord Gures will teleport you directly to [Vilanser].

Then they'll have a full-day diplomatic visit there!
