Chapter 588 Immortal Grand Duke
The think tank was stunned by the person in charge's question.

After a moment of silence, the think tank said with a wry smile:

"I can only ask the Duke of Vin Diesel to ask His Majesty Platinum for an explanation!"

Hearing this, the person in charge looked up at the sky, then cursed in a low voice.

The think tank wisely lowered his head at this moment, pretending he didn't hear anything.

"Okay, send someone to Barlot Manor right away, and when that idiot grandson finds out that something is wrong, send someone to contact him as soon as possible, I believe he will have a choice!"

The think tank wrote it down, and then continued to look at the person in charge.

"Try to be as stealthy as possible. If you can avoid causing trouble for His Majesty, don't disturb His Majesty. Otherwise, we will inevitably be labeled as incompetent!"

"Arrange immediately. I want to see the housekeeper of the Vin Diesel family. Congratulations on their successful mission!"

The head of the think tank is getting lower and lower.

"Understood, my lord, if there is no other order, I will arrange it right away!"

The person in charge nodded, let out a long sigh, and waved his hand to indicate that his think tank could go out.

The Platinum Principality's intelligence system is highly efficient, and the Minister of the Military Department who has invested most of his power here is not slow to receive news!
"#$%^&*" The minister of the military department made a series of words that even the most ordinary shrew could not imagine, which made the people around him gasp in amazement.

After the military minister finished venting, everyone raised their heads, pretending that nothing happened just now.

"My lord, on the list submitted to the ruling meeting, the heir of the Balotte family is the name of the little son!"

The reminder from his subordinates made the military minister more irritable.

"What's the use of saying this now? There is no Lalu-Ballot's name on the bloodline chart of the Barlott family, which means that we can't make him the Duke of Barlott! No one dares to open this hole, Otherwise, more than half of the noble families will be turned upside down by illegitimate children!"

The subordinates of the Minister of Military Affairs coughed a few times and said:
"My lord, that's not what I mean. What I mean is, does this sudden change have something to do with Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum?"

The Minister of Military Affairs glanced at the subordinate who raised this question, and said with a cold snort:
"You are not an aristocrat. I don't blame you for not knowing about this kind of thing. Only the couples who inherited the title of nobles can see the bloodline of the aristocrats, and once the name is written, it can only be crossed out, not erased. Since that Mrs. Barot To say that there is no Lalu Ballot's name on the bloodline map means that the name Lalu Ballot has never been written on the map that can prove that he is the bloodline of the Ballot family!"

"This also means that the Balotte family has never had an eldest son named Lalu-Balotte. Today, the Balotte family has only one heir, and that is the duchess' son!"

This subordinate lowered his head in shame, he felt a little inferior to the fact that he had not yet obtained a noble title.

Another subordinate with aristocratic status glanced haughtily at his colleagues, and then reminded the minister of the military department:
"My lord, this will give Her Majesty an excuse to directly intervene in the drafting of the heir list!"

The Minister of Military Affairs snorted angrily:

"That's right, the list drawn up by the Ministry of Nobles actually passed on the title of a duke to a man who is not legally of the blood of the Barot family. In the name of the noble department, thoroughly investigate the noble department, if bribery is involved, then the noble department is not far from being disbanded!"

These words startled the nobles who spoke.

"It won't be so serious. This is just an oversight due to the sudden incident. At most, Her Majesty will take away the right to draw up the list of nobility successors, so it won't disband the entire Noble Department!"

The minister of the military department smiled coldly and said:
"Do you know what is the crime of tampering with the blood of the nobles and seizing the right of inheritance of the nobles?"

Before waiting for his subordinates to answer, the minister of the military department roared:
"Let me tell you, the principal criminal will be beheaded, the whole family will be reduced to slaves, the accomplice will be deprived of all titles, and the whole family will be exiled to the frontier!"

"You don't know how many gold coins that Lalu-Ballot sent to the imperial capital?"

"If Her Majesty the Empress really investigates, how many of the families that have spoken in the noble department can escape?"

The roar of the Minister of War silenced the entire office.

After a while, the door of the office was knocked hastily, and before the minister of the military department allowed him, an old nobleman pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing the old man, the military minister took a deep breath and said in a gentle voice:

"Immortal Grand Duke, how dare you work hard to find me, let me know if there is something to do, I should go to see you." Then he graciously led the Grand Duke to sit down in the seat that belonged to him.

After sitting firmly in the chair, the old Grand Duke just said:
"As the Immortal Duke jointly appointed by Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum, I am in charge of the inheritance of nobles and the continuation of blood!"

"The name of immortality means that my noble inheritance is eternal and immortal!"

"But I'm old and can't work anymore. Many things have been handed over to you people. You are all capable. I haven't worried much over the years."

The words of the old nobleman are vicissitudes and majesty.

"But this time, what did you do?"

Speaking of this, the old nobleman patted the table case in a serious manner.

This beat made all the noble blood tremble in the office of the minister of the military. There is no other reason. This old man holds the lifeline of all nobles in his hands.

Only the Immortal Grand Duke can enter the coat of arms of a noble family into the Imperial Noble Map, and only this old man can erase any noble family coat of arms from the Imperial Noble Map.

"Old man, what you taught is that we didn't do a good job this time, so you have to worry about it!"

The minister of the military department smiled and admitted his mistake.

The Immortal Grand Duke squinted at the minister of the military department, and then said:

"Now that you know what you did wrong, do you know how to fix it?"

The minister of the military department lowered his head and said:
"Old man, please tell me, as long as you express your opinion, we will listen to you!"

The Immortal Grand Duke snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Is it useful to listen to me? You have to listen to Her Majesty the Queen. At the aristocratic ruling meeting, everything is listened to by Her Majesty the Queen, understand?"

The minister of the military department fell silent and did not agree, and the nobles present also bowed their heads in silence.

This made the Immortal Grand Duke unhappy, and said:
"Why, you don't listen to me?"

Everyone still didn't respond, but the old man was not angry, he let out a long sigh, got up from his seat, and said:
"Forget it, if you don't listen to me, you must want to listen to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Platinum! Then, see you at the noble adjudication meeting. I don't know how many noble families will be left in the imperial capital after this meeting is over. !"

After saying that, the old man staggered towards the door.

The minister of the military department hurriedly stopped him, stretched out his hand to support the old man's arm, and helped the old man back to his seat.

"Old man, my old man, no one will say no to you!"

The Immortal Grand Duke didn't struggle either, and sat on his seat again, but he didn't make a sound.

The Minister of Military Affairs asked tentatively:
"Old Grand Duke, have you met Her Majesty the Empress? Has Her Majesty revealed her presence?"

The Immortal Grand Duke snorted coldly and said:

"Old man, I went to see Her Majesty the Empress, but I didn't even enter the gate of the palace, saying that Her Majesty the Empress was dealing with important military affairs, and no one was seen!"

"Listen, military matters!"

The four words of military and state affairs were repeated word by word by the old man tapping his finger on the table!
The military minister took a deep breath. Her Majesty was dealing with military and state affairs, but she didn't summon his qualified military minister, nor did she summon the political affairs minister. The information revealed already made people shudder.

"Old Grand Duke, I haven't received any orders to mobilize the army, and there is no sign of the Knights of the Imperial Guard being mobilized."

The Immortal Grand Duke laughed angrily at these words, pointed at the minister of the military department and said:

"Do you really think that you are the minister of the military department in charge of the empire's military power?"

Yimeng, the Minister of the Military Department, is he indeed the Minister of the Military Department in charge of the entire imperial army?
"You are an ass, at least when His Majesty Platinum was in the imperial capital, you were an ass. You said it yourself, the orders of the military department are communicated with the Platinum King Banner at the same time, who will the army listen to?"

"Only you guys, the old man, I can clearly see the little tricks you make in private. Do you think Her Majesty the Queen knows?"

The minister of the military department was shocked by the words of the Immortal Grand Duke, and his whole body broke out in cold sweat, and the inner lining was instantly soaked.

"Old Grand Duke, are you sure that Her Majesty the Empress knows?"

The Immortal Grand Duke coldly called the minister of the military department, then slowly shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure, but I think there is a reason for Her Majesty's sudden move to veto the list of noble successors!"

"There is a reason for His Majesty Platinum's visit to the palace and not leaving for a long time!"

"It's definitely not without reason that the list can be submitted to the noble adjudication meeting!"

"You people are confused by those things, and you can't tell who is the one who controls your destiny and life and death!"

The minister of the military department regained his composure. He knew what the Immortal Grand Duke said, but he didn't think that what the Immortal Grand Duke knew, Her Majesty the Queen would also know.

Because the Immortal Grand Duke is a nobleman, a nobleman of the imperial capital, there will not be too many taboos when each family acts.

But regarding Her Majesty's people, the Minister of Military Affairs thought, there would be no fool who would dare to reveal the news. After all, everyone who knew had already started to act, and in the teachings of the Holy Sea God, there was never forgiveness for those who betrayed their beliefs. Say!
The empress is the spokesperson of the holy sea god, no nobleman would seek death by himself and reveal the matter to her majesty the empress.

Thinking of this, the minister of the military department turned his eyes, looked at the Immortal Grand Duke, and said:
"Old man, you are 80 years old this year!"

The Immortal Grand Duke frowned, and looked at the minister of the military department with dissatisfaction.

As a high-ranking person, a high-ranking old man, no one dared to mention his age in front of him for a long time.

"Old man, you may know what we are looking for, but I think you must not know what we are looking for can bring us!"

The minister of the military department waved his hand, and the subordinates in the office retreated one after another.

The Immortal Grand Duke looked at the military minister suspiciously.

"My grand lord, what kind of thing do you think can make all the nobles in the imperial capital unite to hide the truth from Her Majesty the Empress and risk being chased by the holy sea god?"

The voice of the minister of the military department was soft and ethereal, as if it was a whisper floating down from the clouds, which made people think.

"It is eternal life, my old prince!"

"Eternal life that can rejuvenate people!"

Contrary to what the military minister expected, the old prince didn't look excited when he heard the news, but looked at him mockingly.

"The God of Light? Are you talking about the God of Light in the Canon of Light? Young man, power and wealth seem to have made you forget a lot of things. Before the arrival of the seven true gods, we will follow the words in the Canon of Light every day. Pray according to the prayers in the Canon of Light, when have you ever seen someone live forever?"

"It's only been less than 20 years, I think time has not erased all your memories!"

These words made the Minister of Military Affairs frowned and said:
"Old Duke, I think your understanding is biased. I agree that the God of Light did not perform miracles before, but before, there were no seven gods who competed with the God of Light, and there were no empires and nobility. In this world High up!"

"Obviously, for some reason, the God of Light was suppressed by the seven new gods and lost people's belief in him. 20 years is a reasonable time. Let’s get up and start trying to take back his faith!”

"However, in order to regain faith, the God of Light must come up with something to encourage and reward his believers!"

"All of this is very reasonable!"

"I believe that gods have the power to make people live forever, but this kind of power must be very precious. At least the seven new gods who have knelt down have never given such a blessing!"

"But the God of Light is different. He is a loser. If he wants to win again and regain his faith, he is destined to pay more!"

"Old Duke, even if I'm a fool, isn't there a smart person in the entire circle of nobles in the imperial capital?"

"If you don't see tangible benefits, believe me, no noble family will follow me!"

"It's not that we can't recognize who controls our destiny and life, but we know it too clearly, and we know that we want to get rid of the big hand that controls our destiny and life!"

"And the God of Light is undoubtedly a good choice!"

This time it is the turn of the Immortal Grand Duke to be silent. Immortality is always a desire that an intelligent life cannot give up!
Especially for those whose days are numbered.

The minister of the military department looked at the Immortal Grand Duke, waiting for an answer from the elder in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.

"Even if what you said is true, aren't you afraid that you will die under the Queen's sword before you get that precious grace?"

"The reason why you worked so hard to maintain the heirs on that list is because they also joined your plan, or in other words, you used this list to exchange them to shut up?"

The minister of the military department looked embarrassed. This old man really deserved to be a veteran figure among the nobles, and he saw the crux of the matter clearly at a glance.

"You are right. As long as one of the 26 noble families is dissatisfied and reveals the matter, I think Her Majesty the Empress will definitely not mind sending out the Holy See Judgment Knights from all over the place to wash the imperial capital into blood!"

The minister of the military department's eyes became firmer, looking at the Immortal Grand Duke:

"My grand lord, I think, if you can appear at the aristocratic ruling meeting, with your prestige, your power, and our support, I think even Her Majesty the Queen will..."

The words are not explained, but the meaning has been clearly expressed.
