100: Chapter 91, Chaotic Dadir_3 100: Chapter 91, Chaotic Dadir_3 Unfortunately, the situation on the continent has suddenly changed, the Kingdom and the Clergy are at odds, and stability must now be maintained within the Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, excessive targeting of the Northern aristocracy moving south, which could disrupt unity, clearly does not conform to the Kingdom’s overall atmosphere of stability.
“Seems like we can only keep things quiet now!
Just wondering what those old foxes in the North are thinking, do they really believe those little pawns can make waves?”
So Governor Piers muttered to himself.
From beginning to end, Governor Piers never took the trouble caused by the Northern Province’s Descendants seriously.
To those with real power in the Kingdom, like Earl Piers, only equally influential forces are worthy to negotiate with them.
The transmission of information in the Magic World can be quick or slow, depending on the thoughts of influential individuals.
If they hurry, information from the Capital can reach the Southeastern Province within a day.
But if the influential individuals are not in a hurry, they will let the messenger slog on their journey, without caring if it takes half a month.
Of course, this is only about the transmission of information, and it does not include decision-making time.
Most of the time when the transmission of information is slow, it’s not that the transmission of information is truly slow, but rather, the influential individuals need it to be slow to cover up their low decision-making efficiency.
This time is no exception, Earl Piers had received news about the tension between the Kingdom and the Clergy due to the killing of the King’s messenger by the Clergy.
But since he hasn’t thought about how to respond to this incident, the news is still on the way and none of the nobles in the Southeastern Province have heard a word about it.
Only when he makes a decision will the news officially reach the Southeastern Province.
If it’s too much of a delay, the news might reach them before the official ones do.
After all, the other nobles aren’t idiots.
Although they don’t have access to fast information channels, their noble children abroad will take the initiative to find out the news.
Ordinary news can be ignored, but for impactful news like this, they will find a way to send it back.
However, because the news is from “inquiry”, how accurate it is depends on luck.
And those who are capable of transmitting the news reveal their nobility.
Lower-class nobles, even if they know about the news, might find it difficult to send it back in time.
“Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…”
The sound of the carriage moving on continued, and Dardiel City a hundred miles away was buzzing with excitement.
Given the strict hierarchy within the nobility, although a time was set, everyone still conscientiously arrived early.
Even the Northern aristocrats, who had strained relations with the Governor’s Mansion, didn’t put on airs at this time and arrived early to wait.
Buzzing with excitement doesn’t mean prosperity.
Despite Baron West’s best efforts, Dardiel City is still a ruined city.
It would be difficult to restore it without one or two years of work.
As the host, Baron West has been having a—”hard” time recently.
A large group of nobles swarming in is equivalent to a big heap of trouble just knocking on the door.
Given the existing shortage of food in his territory, receiving these lords has further strained his already tight budget.
Baron West even suspects that Governor Piers deliberately chose Dardiel City as the mediation location just to target him.
Given the lack of face, Baron West even cancelled the welcome banquet to save expenses.
Daily hosting is limited to providing temporary accommodation, water, firewood, and some simple living items.
There is absolutely no food provided.
It’s not a matter of being stingy or not, but the Lord’s Mansion really doesn’t have any surplus food.
At least food that matches the status of a noble, he definitely doesn’t have much of it.
Losing face isn’t a big deal, after all, it just initially hurts, but gradually you get over it.
What’s troubling Baron West is that there aren’t many of the nobles who are peaceful.
If they aren’t creating trouble, they’re on the way to create trouble.
Physical fights, that’s just the most basic operation.
Just a moment of carelessness and there will be a street fight.
Unlike the previous clear division, he now only needs to consider the interests of the Northern aristocracy.
Now as the host, it’s his inherent responsibility to maintain order.
It doesn’t matter if ordinary soldiers are injured or dead, but if a noble happens to get hurt or killed, he has to take the responsibility.
In order to maintain order, he not only sent his men out, he even patrolled the streets himself.
Regrettably, this was to no avail, the Northern aristocracy still gave face to him as their nominal leader, but the native nobles simply ignored him.
Only one party is needed to stir up trouble.
As long as someone is causing trouble, the other party can only get involved passively.
Occasionally, real fights break out and even those who attempt to intervene get beaten up.
To settle disputes, Baron West’s men often go out spirited but come back with bruised faces.
Some of the unfortunate ones even got killed by mistake while breaking up the fights, meeting their untimely ends.
There’s no use in complaining, it just leads to endless wrangling.
Those who dare to cause trouble are all nobles, ordinary soldiers have the concept of “kill and you must pay with your life” in their minds, so they know not to go too far in such situations.
There’s no choice.
In the face of such unfortunate incidents, Baron West can only accept it.
The culprits only need to pay a sum, but if he wants retaliation, he can only appeal to the Noble Parliament.
One doesn’t need to think about it to know that the matter should end there.
The essence of the Noble Parliament is to protect the interests of the nobility, and whose side the decision would lean to is obvious.
If he can’t stand it anymore, he will have to take a sneak attack on the other party when the opportunity arises.
Now, Baron West only has one thought in mind, that is, to hope Earl Piers arrives as soon as possible, otherwise, he really won’t be able to hold on anymore.
Not only host Baron West is hurt by the chaotic scenes, Hudson the “businessman” is also infuriated by them.
Originally, he was just an enjoyable bystander, watching performances quietly.
Utilizing the intimidating stature of an enlarged version of the Earth Bear, which stands three meters tall, is enough to cool down those hot-headed fellows.
After all, when nobles fight, they know how to restrain themselves, they understand limits.
With magical beasts, that’s a different story.
Without professional knowledge, one can’t determine the growth stage of a creature the size of the current Earth Bear.
If one were to be killed with one slap, that would be a great injustice.
Projecting the might of the bear, Hudson was unstoppable on the streets under the protection of the Earth Bear.
Unfortunately, accidents always happen unexpectedly, he became the focus before he even finished watching a street show.
He set up a stall in the street and was unfortunately dragged into a conflict between two groups of people.
If it was just his stall being destroyed, that wouldn’t matter much, but the key issue is, one of the men, fighting in earnest, casually picked up a big hammer and smashed the other’s skull.
