Chapter 173 Natural Disaster Level Deterrence

Diana has served the Duke of Edwards for more than 20 years. She once swore allegiance to Hugo and watched Miss Anna grow up. After Hugo's sudden death, she also witnessed Anna's rapid growth.

Following her, she did many things that were beneficial to the Duke Edwards House.

Although in the eyes of the outside world, Anna's acceptance of the Duke's Palace caused the rapid decline of this once-prosperous family in just one year, Diana knew that this was just a necessary attempt to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time.

The seeds of weakness had been sown as early as the Hugo period. The old Duke was a very capable idealist. For his own ideals, he could not care about these seeds and control the overall situation with his own abilities.

Personality charm maintains everything on the edge of collapse.

But Anna can't do it. It's not that she doesn't have the ability and means, she just doesn't have Hugo's prestige. Hugo's allies don't trust her, and Hugo's enemies are not afraid of her, including the largest nobleman in the empire, "His Majesty the King," who will not fight with her.

Children of the younger generation like her have heart-to-heart conversations.

Even if she inherited the title of Duke Edwards.

Therefore, after Hugo's death, the Duke Edwards Palace declined at such a rapid rate. For Anna, what Hugo left behind was a huge mess, full of holes that needed to be filled.

In this regard, Anna chose to repair the foundation of everything first.

Anna inherited her father's ideals, but she is not an idealist like her father. She pays more attention to practical feasibility.

Did Hugo's years of hard work really change Lundini? Maybe he changed a little. He did promote the establishment of several bills and helped some poor people, but for the entire Lundini, and even the entire empire, it

What is it?

The power of a duke is not enough, even becoming a king is not enough. Opponents are everywhere in the empire.

It is not enough to have one seat in the House of Lords, nor is it enough to control the entire House of Lords. Although those in the House of Commons do not represent the nobility, they do not really stand with the voters in their constituencies. There is no shortage of wise politicians in this era, but there are also

There are always stupid politicians holding them back.

It takes strength to change all this.

The Edwards family needs to rise again.

There is no doubt that Anna has the ability to lead the declining Edwards House to greatness again.

Diana never doubted this.

But as Anna's elder, she has always been very concerned about Anna's love life. She is deeply afraid that her young master will be deceived emotionally and physically by a wild man who doesn't know where he came from. As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come to you, Aaron

·In Diana's eyes, Hill is the kind of scumbag who comes to cheat and attack his little master.

After Anna heard that "someone put a reward on her life", not only did she not stay at the Duke's Palace peacefully, she even let her run out of London with a rabid dog to look for Aaron, which made Diana start to become suspicious -

—I wonder if my eldest lady has really fallen in love, and whether she has become a fool because of love.

So, she said anxiously:

"Miss Anna, I really don't understand! Someone is offering a reward for your life now. Under such circumstances, why do you have to go out and search for the whereabouts of Aaron Hill yourself? So what if you find that man?"

Although she follows him, he is only a quasi-gold-level extraordinary after all, and may not be able to protect Anna - Diana failed to complete this task at the Lewis Mansion before.

The lessons learned from the past made her worried.

"Diana, do you think I should just stay at home?" Anna raised her eyebrows and asked: "A madman who can reward me with a natural disaster-level sealed item and put a bounty on my life will do it because of that.

Will I give up assassination if I stay at the Duke's Palace?"

"This..."

"Let me ask you another question, does Lundini have any known 'natural disaster-level designated sealed objects'? If so, how many are there?"

"...There are two and a half pieces." Diana was silent for a long time before speaking again: "The royal family has one piece, our Duke Edwards's house has half of it, and there is another piece. I don't know whose hands it is.

, but most likely it is in the hands of a certain Duke."

The ancestral designated sealed artifact of Duke Edwards' Mansion is half a natural disaster-level designated sealed artifact. It is incomplete, but even an incomplete sealed artifact is enough to cause a terrifying natural disaster in Lundini.

This secret should not have been known to a housekeeper, but on the one hand, Diana was Hugo's confidant, and on the other hand, Hugo's death was really strange and sudden. Anna was not ready to take over the family at that time.

Diana can only be allowed to bear the secrets that she should not bear with her.

"So, if the power of the natural disaster-level designated sealed object is fully unleashed, what kind of harm will it cause?" Anna stretched out a finger and waved it casually, "For example, it is in the center of Lundini.

What will happen if it completely breaks out?"

"If there is no other force to compete with it, Lundini may be destroyed directly."

Not to mention the complete natural disaster grade sealed artifact, even the half of it in Duke Edwards' Mansion can do this kind of thing.

"Then what if there is half a natural disaster grade sealed object to compete with it?"

"That would also cause a lot of damage..." Diana was suddenly stunned when she said this, and murmured: "It is enough to destroy the entire Duke Edwards Palace."

"It seems that you understand the key issue, Diana. Then the question is, the group of madmen clearly have natural disaster-level sealed objects and other destructive weapons, but they are so strong in martial ethics that they don't need to use them? Even if they really don't use them, the suspicious king

Will His Majesty be relieved?" Anna clasped her hands and asked with a smile: "If you were our dear King, how would you like the situation to develop after learning the news from the military?"

Diana raised her head suddenly.

He would hope that the battle would take place at the Duke Edwards Palace, because in this way, even if the fanatics used natural disaster-level sealed objects, the aftermath of the battle would only stay within the scope of the Duke's Palace!

So, only if Anna doesn't stay at home, will His Majesty the King lend a helping hand to them in order to keep Lundini?

Diana felt cold all over.

"So, I can't go home no matter what." Then, Anna said calmly: "Okay, it's time for us to go see the place where the Ripper case occurred. You can help me judge whether there is the power of the evil god there.

Remains."

Diana fell into a brief shock because of this astonishing speculation, and subconsciously followed Anna who was moving forward, but soon she realized something: "That's not right, Miss Anna! You still haven't explained why you want to find

Aaron?"

Hearing Diana's questioning, Anna did not answer, but silently quickened her pace.

Diana: "???"

Sure enough, there is no special reason, just to find the wild man I love!

Just when Diana was about to speak again to advise the eldest lady not to indulge in love, Anna suddenly stopped.

She turned her head and made a silencing gesture to her, and then said softly:
Chapter completed!
