Chapter 6 I'm going to start the 'Rebellion of the Eight Lords'!
This year is the 675th year of the Susaitani calendar. After several years, Deya is not sure of the exact time. After all, he was just playing a game and had no interest in writing down all the years in the game.
He just knew that in a few years, after some major event, Susaitani's neighbor and mortal enemy, the Kingdom of Anglo, would invade Susaitani.
The Cavendish family's territory is right on the border, the front line facing the Kingdom of England.
In the history of the game, the territory of the Cavendish family was captured, Deya's father and brother died in the war, and Deya was also killed by players as a small BOSS in a copy.
If that were all, then what Deya should do was to strengthen the territory and his own strength to face the war that would surely come in the future.
But things are not that simple. The downfall of the Cavendish family was not caused by foreign enemies, but by betrayal by the king. The king sold out the Cavendish family.
The enemy is in the palace!
Therefore, if Deya wants to protect his family and his own life, he has only two options.
First, he must work hard to improve his own strength. In this world where all great power is concentrated in one person, strength is more important than anything else. As long as he is strong enough, he can do everything.
Another way is to nip the danger in the bud in advance, directly raise the banner of rebellion, behead the king, and kill the king's entire family. Then no one can betray the Cavendish family.
If I don’t kill the whole family, wouldn’t I be unworthy of my identity as a time traveler from the Celestial Empire!
Deya decided to do both things well.
"Besides, waiting for the enemy to invade is too passive."
If he could take control of the military power of Susaitani, he would turn the tables and attack England directly, reaching the English capital in one hour and 22 minutes!
As for whether he could persuade his father to raise the banner of rebellion, Deya was still confident.
When playing the game as a player, after completing the quest to kill 'Deya', players will find a letter in the secret compartment of the Cavendish House.
The letter recorded that Earl Cavendish discussed a rebellion with his eldest son, but in the end the rebellion did not happen.
After traveling through time and regaining his original body's memories, Deya has roughly guessed the reason why his father did not rebel. He came here this time to make his father make up his mind.
Deya looked at his father, Lord Ruston Cavendish, who was sitting behind the desk.
He has neatly combed short hair, is well-dressed, is about forty years old, and has two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth. The first impression is that he is serious and old-fashioned.
But Deya knew that his father was just serious, but not rigid.
"Father, what happened to make you so angry?"
Deya could tell his father was angry, so he asked with fake concern.
"It's our Prime Minister. He actually dared to ignore the order of Parliament and exercised the power of the King, violating the Constitution and forcibly collecting taxes from our territory!"
Earl Cavendish slammed the table hard and roared with spit flying.
Deya leaned back slightly to prevent his father's saliva from falling on him.
"Father, calm down. The Prime Minister is just a dog of His Majesty the King, who was sent out by His Majesty the King to oppose Parliament.
No matter how much you curse him, it will be useless. Should we go and bark at the dog when we are angry? We should focus on the person holding the dog, that is, our King. "
Deya said slowly.
Earl Cavendish looked at his second son in surprise, "...Deya, it's been a while since we last met, and you seem to have changed a lot."
Deya's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "This is all thanks to the teacher's good teaching. Under the teacher's guidance, I finally understand many things."
"Teacher?" "Master Irving."
"Master Irwin accepted you as his apprentice? You are now a spellcaster, a wizard?"
There was a strong sense of surprise in Earl Cavendish's words.
"Yes, father, but I cannot be considered a spellcaster yet. Only after experiencing the [World Recollection] can I truly become a mage."
Deya said modestly, repeating in his mind, "It's the Necromancer."
The Earl couldn't help but stand up and said excitedly: "Good, good, very good, you did a good job, Deya!"
No wonder Deya's character has changed so much, it turns out it's all thanks to Master Irving.
In Earl Cavendish's memory, his second son had always been weak in character, had no interest in wielding swords and guns, and had no idea of becoming a supernatural professional in the physics department.
That's why I brought him to the capital, Abram, and wanted him to go to university to study finance or law.
It turns out that Deya’s talent lies in being a spellcaster!
Wizards are noble no matter where they are. Spellcasters are rare, and mages are the most difficult extraordinary profession to become.
To become a wizard, one not only needs special talent, but also sufficient wisdom, because the source of a wizard's power is "knowledge", and knowledge is always the most precious.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a mage academy. Training a mage requires too many resources and it is impossible to promote it on a large scale.
The mage's inheritance is completely in the master-disciple way, but once you become a mage, you can master many powerful and mysterious spells!
In the past, the Earl of Cavendish seldom talked about political affairs at home. His eldest son could not be said to be stupid, but he did act rashly.
Seeing that his youngest son seemed to have suddenly come to his senses, he showed an expression of "let me test you" and sat back in his chair and asked, "What do you think of our King?"
Bottom man!
Deya complained in his heart, but on the surface he thought seriously and said, "Father, I'm afraid all of us have been deceived by His Majesty the King.
His past attitude of not caring about things and handing over all power to the parliament was simply an act. He was just accumulating strength.
Now that he has enough strength, he has started to fight back. I'm afraid that our king wants to learn from the empire outside the strait, centralize power, and take back the power of our lord families bit by bit!"
Earl Cavendish did not comment on Deya's words, but asked again: "Then where do you think our King's power comes from?"
Deya said without hesitation: "Of course it is the grand dukes near the royal territory. These grand dukes occupy vast tracts of land and population, but they are extremely greedy and are eyeing the land of us small nobles.
His Majesty the King must have reached an agreement with these grand dukes to devour our land and power.
Although saying this may sound like an insult to myself, most of the nobles are short-sighted.
Those grand dukes don’t think about the future at all. They are confident that they can fight against the king with their own strength, and our King is obviously also confident that he can control them.
Regardless of whether there will be conflicts between His Majesty the King and the Grand Dukes in the future, but just now, they are the "royalists" standing together, and we are their enemies! "
As earls, the Cavendish family is also a powerful noble family in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of the Grand Duke and the King, the earl is still not good enough.
Deya said in a sonorous voice: "Father, we can't just sit there and wait for death. You should raise a call and unite the nobles who are regarded as enemies by them.
The king ordered the prime minister to violate the constitution and collect taxes from our territory. This must be just the beginning. They will nibble away at us bit by bit. If we retreat, there will be no recovery! "
Deya decided to start a "Rebellion of the Eight Lords" in this alien world!
