Chapter 59 Waiting for a Storm
At the end of the month of winter, the snow has not completely disappeared.

There is still some time before the wind of revival arrives, but the entire Jinyan Province is already feeling restless.

Two major events that happened recently have caused agitation in the aristocratic circles of the entire Jinyan Province.

The first thing is related to Storm Territory.

After being in a coma for more than half a year, Count Storm was finally declared dead.

The title was unexpectedly inherited by Earl Storm's youngest son.

At the subsequent succession ceremony, Marquis Jinyan attended and gave his blessing to the new Earl of Storm.

The second thing is that the position of Flash Baron changed hands again.

To be honest, many nobles were mentally prepared for this outcome.

But the course of events was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Blackrock City captured Shining City almost without bloodshed.

According to the battle report, just before the Blackrock City army arrived at the Shining City, the city gate was shattered with a loud bang, and several generals were torn into several pieces in full view of the public for unknown reasons and died tragically on the spot.

So before the war even started, the defenders of Shining City collapsed.

The Blackrock City army then marched straight in and took over the entire Flashing City without much effort.

This result really shocked many people.

When more discerning people saw this battle report, they guessed the role that Sunan played in this victory.

After the war, many nobles were waiting for Marquis Jinyan's reaction.

After all, everyone knows that Marquis Jinyan is behind Owen.

Now that Owen has been executed and hanged, the position of Baron Flash has changed hands. If Marquis Jinyan does nothing, his prestige will inevitably drop sharply.

But what is surprising is that even after a long time of war, Marquis Jinyan did not react at all.

Allow the new Flash Baron Key Yanest to easily conquer the entire Flash Territory and gradually secure his position as Baron.

Many nobles were puzzled.

Only a few nobles who were close to Marquis Jinyan, such as Earl Winterfrost, Viscount Kurosawa and Viscount Quetzalcoatl, knew what the latter was afraid of.

Jinyan City, inner fort.

Led by the butler, two men in cloaks walked through the courtyard and entered the spacious and bright corridor.

The two sides of the corridor were hung with oil paintings that were obviously very expensive. The sunlight coming in from the windows made the gilded frames sparkle.

Casper was the last one to come along. His eyes swept across an oil painting, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He remembered that this oil painting of Princess Jinghua had appeared at a large auction not long ago and was sold at a high price of 3,800 gold coins.

Such a precious oil painting is now hanging carelessly in the corridor.

Looking at the dozens of paintings on the corridor, whose value was probably not much less than that of Princess Jinghua, Casper couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It is said that Marquis Jinyan is as rich as a country, and now it seems that the rumors are true.

In this world, gold coins represent strength. No wonder Marquis Jinyan is unwilling to be just a local overlord.

While they were thinking, the three of them had arrived at the room at the end of the corridor.

The butler raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, saying, "My Lord, the two distinguished guests have arrived."

"Come in."

A deep and deep voice came from inside.

The butler gently pushed the door open, then turned sideways and motioned for the two to go in.

When I walked into the study, Marquis Jin Yan was standing sideways in front of the window, staring at the sky outside with a serious look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Just two months ago, Marquis Jinyan celebrated his sixtieth birthday, but his black hair is still as shiny as ever, and his facial skin is firm and rosy. Anyone who sees him would think he is only in his early thirties.

"Priest Yoris, long time no see."

Marquis Jin Yan turned around, a smile appeared on his tough face, and he raised his hand to signal the two to sit down.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency the Marquis. I am very happy to see that you are well." After Marquis Jinyan sat down, Yoris also sat down opposite him.

As for Casper, he stood aside consciously.

He was not yet qualified to sit in front of these two people.

"I'm getting old, and my health is starting to decline. The hidden injuries from previous battles flare up from time to time. Time is unforgiving."

"You are joking, Marquis. You are much healthier than me."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries like ordinary friends, and then Marquis Jinyan got to the point.

"Is it possible that Priest Yoris came all the way to see me just to chat with me about family matters?"

Yoris's smile faded and he said solemnly, "This time I came to see the Marquis mainly because of Sunan's matter."

As soon as the word "Su Nan" came out, a trace of gloom flashed across Marquis Jin Yan's face, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Casper standing by subconsciously tensed his body.

At this moment, Marquis Jinyan truly revealed the edge of the overlord of Jinyan Province and the veteran legendary knight.

"Sunan? Has he offended your sect?" Marquis Jin Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.

In his impression, the only connection between Sunan and the Spark Cult was the incident in which the Spark Cult sent people to infiltrate Black Stone City to assassinate him.

Before, he couldn't figure out the reason why the Spark Cult killer failed, but after the battle report of Black Rock City was made public, the facts became very clear.

Even Hodge died at the hands of Sunan, so it was normal for the assassination to fail for just two junior great knight killers.

It’s just that the assassination was commissioned by Owen. Even if it failed, the Starfire Cult would not vent its anger on Sunan.

But what Yoris said next surprised Marquis Jinyan.

"To be honest, Lord Marquis, two months ago, our sect suffered heavy casualties in its stronghold in Stone Bell City. We lost a total of six priests and hundreds of believers, and the murderer who caused all this was a wizard."

"The other party also happens to have a strange beast that can become invisible."

A hint of realization flashed across Marquis Jinyan's eyes.

Invisible beasts are extremely rare, and the possibility of two appearing at the same time in Jinyan Province is too low.

In addition, the controllers are all wizards, so the probability is even lower.

No wonder the Xinghuo Sect was so sure that person was Su Nan.

"But how did Sunan know about your base in Shizhong City?"

Marquis Jin Yan knew that the people of the Spark Cult had means to resist torture, and it was impossible for others to extract any information from these fanatics.

If not for this, he would not have been willing to cooperate with the Spark Cult to assassinate nobles.

".We haven't investigated this clearly yet."

The corner of Yoris's eye twitched slightly, and then his expression turned cold.

"But Sunan killed so many of our believers, we will never let him go."

"I came to see the Marquis this time because I want to deal with Sunan together with you."

"If you want to send troops to attack the Shining Territory, we are willing to lend you a hand!"

Marquis Jin Yan tapped the table with his fingers and smiled slightly, "I am naturally very happy that your church is willing to help, but now is not the time to deal with the Flashing Territory."

"How long do we have to wait?" Yoris frowned slightly.

He was not really in a hurry to kill Su Nan, but the divine blood amber was still in the other party's hands.

This thing is of great significance to the sect, and we will not be able to rest in peace until we get it back.

Marquis Jinyan stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the south with a deep gaze.

"Wait for a storm."

"A storm sweeping across the principality."
