Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 501
[Chapter 499 Countess (6000 supplement)]
New calendar year 1028, December.
Alban is a reporter for The Mole.
The Mole is a second-rate local newspaper in Pulmouth, which mainly publishes business information and gossip.
Winter in Pulmouth is colder than usual.
Together with other media reporters, he has been squatting outside the Mithras Palace for a long time, holding cameras, flashlights, shorthand notebooks, and pens with red hands.
He and his colleagues waited silently, like hunters in the jungle, hoping to get some big news.
“Huhu…”
Just as he was stamping his feet and breathing into his red hands, a colleague next to him came over and said, “Alban, would you like a cigarette?”
“Thank you!”
Alban He took the cigarette and lit it with the other person’s match. After taking a puff, he felt as if a lot of the coldness in his body had dissipated.
At this time, he heard the colleague handing the match next to him said in a doubtful tone: “To be honest… I am still surprised… His Majesty the King would actually confer a countess, which is a hereditary title and permanently reserves a seat in the House of Lords. Yes! And… it was actually passed by the parliament! Could it be that Liliat Sotos is a hidden rich man who bribed all parties and the royal family with one million or even ten million gold pounds? “
This newly crowned countess is undoubtedly the most explosive news in Pulmouth today.
Countless businessmen and middle class people… all follow her as an example and envy her good luck.
Even if you can find out a little bit of news and publish it, even a third-rate newspaper will be sold out tomorrow!
“Haha…”
Alban blew out a smoke ring gracefully: “As far as I know… this countess has not made any political donations. On the contrary… she may also be able to obtain a fief.”
“Owning real estate, you can collect money every year The aristocrat with an annuity.” His colleagues were even more envious.
In this era, it is still generally believed that those who get something for nothing and get income from land annuities without using their brains and hands are the real superior people!
“And… his surname is Sotos, and his title is ‘Earl of Green Forest’. Could he be a blood descendant of the legendary earl in ancient times?”
Another reporter came over, obviously also interested in gossip: “The royal family has found it. Being a direct descendant of the Sotos family can increase the glory. This is a very good gimmick… You know, the people are always very interested in the deeds of the legendary earl, which can easily lead to explosions! “
At this time, there was a commotion in front, and guards came out to maintain order.
Upon seeing this, Alban immediately threw his cigarette on the ground and stamped it out. He held his camera and magnesium flash and pushed his way into the crowd.
Unfortunately, he was not strong enough or strong enough, and he did not seize the good opportunity at the beginning, so he could only stay in the middle and rear position.
As for the spokesperson coming out of the Mithra Palace, only a little outline could be seen, and a vague voice came from it.
‘No…it can’t be like this! Alban
listened to vague words such as “title” and “territory” and was trying to push forward.
Then, he saw his colleagues in front of him suddenly shouting: “Incredible!”
“The entire Green Forest City and surrounding areas are classified as territories?”
“It also includes suzerainty over the local nobles? And the right to collect taxes?”
“Earl There are too many guards, right? This must be an army establishment, right? “
“This is not an honor or a palace earl at all, not even a hereditary earl… Is it the resurrection of the ancient lord system? “
Nowadays, even the Grand Duke only owns a large amount of real estate in a certain county and obtains a certain amount of income from it every year.
Many nobles are even selling their real estate secretly.
It can be said that… this countess has simply become the largest landowner in the kingdom besides the royal family!
No, if the Sodom royal family’s real estate were divided by head, it might not be as good as that of the countess!
At this moment, a bespectacled lady wearing a noble dress and many coats of arms walked out of the Mithraic Palace.
She was not tall and walked towards the carriage with light steps.
Alban suddenly felt that the crowd was going crazy.
A large number of colleagues had red faces and spread their collars, like crazy beasts, squeezing forward like a tide.
Even his eyes were a little red: “You sons of bitches, don’t squeeze me…the headline is mine!”
Bang!
Alban didn’t notice that there were some depressions in the ground, and the force coming from behind was so great that he fell to the ground involuntarily, and the camera fell to the side.
Seeing that the crowd was in commotion and about to form a stampede, a palace guard following the Countess finally couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted: “Quiet!”
This voice seemed to have invisible power, making the crowd instantly quiet.
Some reporters even habitually raised their hands in the air, as if they were seeing the most vicious police officer or police inspector.
Alban was lucky enough to survive without being trampled to death by his peers for grabbing headlines – and if that had happened, his boss wouldn’t have given his family much in the way of a pension.
“As you can see, I am the Earl of Green Forest – Liliat Sotos! A descendant of the ancient Sotos family, I will restore the glory of the family!”
Liliat raised her head when she saw the crazy scene of the crowd. Wearing glasses, he stopped getting on the carriage, faced the reporters, and made a brief speech.
Bang bang bang!
The explosion-like flashes emitted flames and smoke, capturing the true appearance of the kingdom’s new countess on a black and white film.
“Then…that’s it.”
Looking at the reporters asking crazy questions, Liliat kept a polite smile, turned around and walked onto the carriage.
“Although the newly promoted Countess is short in stature and beautiful in appearance, she is surprisingly majestic.”
The reporter, who had no idea that he was facing an inhuman existence, immediately took out his notebook and quickly wrote down a piece of information that was either true or racking his brains. Follow the news on individual plays.
They don’t know that if they are pushed into a hurry, Liliat may turn them into mute ‘living corpses’!
At this time, Liliat had been promoted to a ‘living dead’ and an inhuman existence.
She sat back in the carriage and rubbed her eyebrows: “I’m really tired of this kind of banquet invitations, palace etiquette, and intrigues day after day… Fortunately, everything is finally over and I can go back to Green Forest City.”
Liliat responded to this Very proud.
The Sotos family, which had declined, finally regained its glory in her hands!
Just when she put her arms down, she suddenly found herself sitting opposite an indescribably handsome gentleman.
Every feature of his was extremely perfect, even beyond the limits of human understanding, yet it still made Liliat feel a little familiar.
“You…”
She stared at Aaron, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes: “Are you still the Aaron I know?”
“Let’s get to know each other again.”
Aaron showed a smile: “I am Aaron So Toss! The Earl of Green Forest has abdicated…”
