However, nobles are nobles after all. With the empire behind them, their status is far beyond what commoners can shake.

The only thing Cardo can do is to join forces with Director Wilson, and the two of them work together to use the little power in their hands to slightly reduce the pressure on the people.

Also just a little bit.

There are other nobles in the city, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the position of the city lord's secretary and the police station. They don't dare to do anything too obvious, and even if they want to, they can't do anything.

Unless they blatantly disobey the city lord's orders, what they can do is extremely limited. Even Director Wilson himself cannot actually control the military police under his command.

Chernobog is a very complex city.

In addition to the nobles, large and small, there is also an important force within the empire stationed here.

That is the military, the army. Chernobog's army has a close relationship with the Imperial Third Army. Even Margrave Boris cannot command them.

Within this city, the nobility and the military check and balance each other. In this case, many things become very complicated, and any move may trigger a chain reaction.

The more you understand, the more you feel your own powerlessness.

There is nothing more painful than watching a disaster happen without being able to stop it. Cardo wanted to change everything from the bottom of his heart and change the current situation of Chernobog, but he couldn't do it, which made it even more painful.

Marquis Boris disappeared at the end of the corridor, and even Cardo himself didn't notice. His white-gloved palms had clenched tightly at some point, and the veins on the skin under the gloves popped out.

The bent posture was maintained until Marquis Boris went away. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the palms engraved with golden patterns. Cardo forced himself to suppress his expression so that he still looked calm.

It is such a wooden stick, but it represents the authority of the nobles, and it can suppress many people.

He is also one of them.

【Are you unwilling?Angry? 】

"Who?"

Cardo's heart trembled, his face remained calm, and he slowly walked out pretending that nothing happened.

There are many guards in the Marquis Mansion, but they usually do not appear inside the mansion so as not to disturb Marquis Boris's "good mood". Therefore, if he wants to find the guards for help, he must get out of here first.

[Patience is a beautiful quality, but it does not apply to all times]

[Perhaps, you need a little help. 】

Can't move!

No, my body is out of control!

Cardo's pupils shrank violently, his face was expressionless, and he continued to move forward, but now it was no longer his own will that controlled the body. Some external force forcibly took over the body, turning him into a bystander.

A magician?Or an infected person?

The possibility of infection is higher.

Ordinary magicians cannot sneak into the Marquis's mansion quietly and forcibly control his body. The infected person is more powerful than ordinary magicians, and they have sufficient reasons to take action.

It should be said that it was fortunate that those infected did not gather together to directly attack the Marquis Mansion.

"What are your conditions? What do you want to do?"

Kado couldn't open his mouth and could only mutter silently in his heart. He believed that the other party could hear it.

As expected, the untraceable voice sounded from the bottom of my heart again, as if there was another him living in his body.

[It’s not what I want to do, but what you want to do. 】

Still moving forward, Cardo walked through the corridor, passed through the banquet hall, and walked to the courtyard. Two young people were standing in the middle of the courtyard. Guests were coming and going around, but no one was approaching. It seemed that something was affecting them. Avoid unconsciously.

A Philin clan, and... unknown?

The characteristics of the Felin tribe can be clearly seen on the top of the girl's head, but there are no traces of racial characteristics on the man's body, and it is impossible to tell which ethnic group he comes from.

They were clearly standing there, but in Cardo's eyes, it was as if these two people didn't exist.

"Secretary of the city lord, Cardo?"

Lin Lu looked at the tall Ursus man with interest, with a strange expression.

How should I put it? Compared to a secretary, this one is more like a bodyguard. His explosive muscles almost stretch his suit open. He stands like an iron tower, full of strength.

To put it bluntly, he felt that this man could easily deal with ten Marquis Boris.

Among the many guests at the banquet, the city lord's secretary was also the most dissatisfied with Boris, so strong that he showed strong malice just by seeing the Marquis.

Even though he hid it well, he still couldn't escape Theresa's eyes.

He holds an important position, can approach Marquis Boris at any time, is extremely dissatisfied with the nobles, and wants to change Ursus... In the eyes of the devil, his thoughts are clearly revealed.

Add it all together...is there any better tool than this?

"Two."

Cardo suddenly found that his body was free again. Even so, he did not dare to act rashly. After a moment of silence, he asked cautiously: "Do you want to attack Boris?"

Apart from this, he couldn't think of the purpose of these two people sneaking into the manor. If it was an infected person, they would have 1 reasons enough to hang the fat pig on the stake and burn it to death.

Not to mention the infected, even he wanted to do this.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity?

Ten years of patience is enough to drive one crazy.

Many years ago, he would not have considered such an extreme method as attacking the Marquis. Now, he felt that he could consider it. As long as there was enough force to support it, it would not be a bad idea to go crazy.

But the cold reality told him that even killing Boris would not be of much use. There were countless people in the huge Ursus who could achieve this position. Apart from a charge of attacking the imperial nobles, they would get nothing in the end.

The situation of the civilians will not change, and will even get worse after the new city lord takes office.

"With all due respect, killing Boris will not change the current situation in Chernobog, and may even make the situation worse."

"Of course I know that, so we're not going to kill him."

Lin Lu shook her head slightly, and what she said made Kaduo's eyes widen.

"We can control him and make him an obedient puppet. I can also give you powerful power. If the requirements are met, Chernobog will turn according to your will."

"Can it really be done?"

Cardo doesn't care about powerful power or anything like that. The only thing he cares about is, can he really turn Boris into a puppet?

"Of course, you've experienced our power, haven't you?"

These words made Cardo suddenly realize that indeed, he had come all the way here under the control of the other party. If he could control him, he could naturally control Boris.

After all, although that fat pig with a fat head carries the title of Marquis, in the end he is just an ordinary person. It is not difficult to deal with him as long as he bypasses the masters in the Marquis's house.

"What should I do?"

With the thought that 'it can't be worse anyway', Cardo clenched his teeth and nodded heavily, his eyes showing unprecedented madness.

After many years of patience, he is going crazy, or in other words, he has already gone crazy!

The high-pressure laws from the top are implemented again and again, causing the people of the entire city to suffer and feel uneasy!

What will be the result if this continues?

Riots are inevitable, and the entire Chernobog will descend into chaos and become a mess.

Then, the empire will send troops to quell the rebellion. How many people will die by then?

Ursus' army has never been soft-hearted!

The future disaster can already be foreseen. If this is the case, what about going crazy once?

Of course, he knew that these two people of unknown origin might not be trustworthy, and they might not really be able to do what they said.

However, he had no choice.

Continuing to endure is nothing more than walking into destruction with the city.

Compared with that absolutely dark future, no matter how small a hope is, it still exists.

Cardo has never bet on anything in his life, but today, he decided to make a big bet on his and Chernobog's future!

"It's very simple. Just stand there and don't move."

Lin Lu glanced at Theresia, who was silent, and felt that she might have used some hint to influence the secretary's thinking. Otherwise, how could he trust these two strangers so smoothly?

However, it doesn't hurt, he will not refuse to make the plan more stable and smoother.

In Cardo's confused eyes, a bright golden leaf emerged from the void and swirled onto his face.

In an instant, the light converged, and the warm power spread from the head down to the limbs of the body.

Strength, become stronger!

Clenching his fists and then unclenching them, Cardo felt that he had never felt better. He could clearly feel the power flowing through his body. It was a mysterious realm that he had never touched before, so powerful.

It is not a method of turning people into infected people, but it can easily give power to others. Even an ordinary person like him can become an extraordinary person with special abilities in an instant. Is this person... a god?

"You only need to create an opportunity for us to be alone with Boris that no one knows about, and you can achieve your goal. The price is that from today on, you will become a member of the Golden Tree and serve me until you die."

"Then tell me your choice."

Although it was an inquiry, the blessings from the golden tree were given. Lin Lu was not worried about being rejected at all. The reason why she said this was just to go through the process with some bad taste.

"Allegiance?"

Cardo murmured to himself, feeling the unprecedented power in his body, his eyes glowing with fanaticism.

If he hadn't realized that there were guests coming and going not far away, he might have shouted out at this moment.

Even though he was suppressing it, his voice was still trembling slightly, and his whole body was shaking slightly.

The cane given by Marquis Boris as a symbol of status was brought to him, held up flat, and then——

- Crack!

The sound of wood breaking suddenly sounded. The beautifully crafted and luxuriously decorated cane was broken by strong force. Cardo fell to his knees and trembled: "My choice is-"

"From now on, I will be loyal to you!"

"very good."

Lin Lu nodded with satisfaction and looked at the brightly lit mansion in front of her.

"Lead the way."

……

If they are allowed to find the place where Marquis Boris rests by themselves, it will probably take a lot of trouble. After all, the mansion occupies a large area, but with the guidance of internal personnel, everything will not be a problem.

In the entire Chernobog, few people know Boris's living habits and preferences better than Cardo, and he is even more familiar with the Marquis Mansion.

Therefore, the three of them drove almost all the way and easily approached the place where Marquis Boris was resting. However, they only approached and did not enter directly, because there was someone guarding the door of Marquis Boris's room.

According to Cardo's information, the person who can guard the door during the break is a master hired by Boris at a large price, and is also his most trusted bodyguard. He has handled many assassinations for Boris. He is very powerful and is suspected of possessing some kind of hardening. The origin stone technique of the body.

"You or I?"

The man outside the door was wearing a black suit similar to Cardo's. He stood motionless in front of the door. Half of his gray metal mask covered the left half of his face, and crisscross scars could be seen on his right face, which was hideous and terrifying.

As far as the appearance is concerned, it is indeed in line with the temperament of a master.

"Go ahead, I'm not interested."

He came and did what he needed to do, but Theresa was still not used to it and had no interest in dealing with this bodyguard who was highly regarded by Cardo.

What's it like?

It might be some kind of subtle comparison. If possible, Theresia didn't want to show her violent side in front of Lin Lu, especially in a fight with huge body movements. She would not do it if she could.

"Okay, I'll come."

Lin Lu shrugged, her figure flashed, and she silently appeared on the side of 'Brother Gao Shou'. The moment his body reacted instinctively, the palm covered with scarlet flames had already cut through his clothes, leaving behind three knives. Blood stains that looked like burning flames.

thump~

His mouth was forcibly covered by a powerful palm, and his entire head could not move.

A slight silent sound exploded from his body, causing his strong body like an iron tower to tremble violently, and then fell softly.

It was a real collapse in the literal sense.

Brother Gao Shou's tall body seemed to have been deprived of all skeletal support and collapsed to the ground. A cluster of orange-red flames ignited from his body, burning silently, completely erasing him from the world in just a few seconds, not even a trace of it. No ashes were left.

The so-called masters are relatively speaking. At the level of Marquis Boris, it is not impossible to hire a real master, but the probability is low.

This master brother obviously does not have that strength.
