"Your Highness, this is the lord's seal, this is the appointment document of the empire, this is the transfer document..."

Vlad took the seals and documents one by one from the old butler Oceans.

The seal is completely black, and is engraved with a demonic dragon spreading its wings and about to fly through the sky. There is a faint black air flowing freely inside, and it feels smooth and cold when held in the hand.

The bottom is engraved with a lifelike dragon knight. Look closely, there is also a number.

There was no need to read the appointment document, he had already read it in the imperial capital.

The handover document was between the previous chief officer and him, and the provincial governor named Albert had already signed it.

This document must be read. After opening the document, Vlad sat on a chair and read it carefully, analyzing it word for word, for fear that this bad old man would set him up again.

The document explains in detail why much more taxes than in previous years must be given to the Hades Marine Corps.

The Pluto Army plays a very important role, and the test it faces this year is even more difficult.

Secondly, the province of Methos is developing rapidly. This year’s tax revenue has increased much more than before, and it is capable of shouldering more financial burdens for the central government...

This old man is obviously lying with his eyes open. The province of Methos has not developed at all, and the economy of the provinces in the empire is second to last. It is almost a poor place recognized by the empire, but it is still developing well. Isn't this nonsense?

If you go to Linye City, the imperial capital, and hear someone say that you are from the province of Methos, you will be tacitly despised by the people of the imperial capital. Not to mention Linye City, people from any province in the empire are qualified to despise Methos.

People from the province of Soth.

The people in the province of Mae Soth are also miserable. When they go to other places, they don’t dare to say that they are from Mae Soth!

...

Vlad felt that he had been wronged. He and Albert had never met each other, and they had no hatred.

The old man wanted to make trouble for him before he left, just to kneel down and lick his second brother and make friends with the Hades Marine Corps.

"Damn it, this old man is very bad!"

Apart from taxes, there is nothing fishy about it so far.

Vlad felt that he should sign decisively because he had recently heard some bad news.

That is, his old and strong father has given him another brother. This little brother who is still in his infancy seems to be eyeing the territory of his older brothers and sisters with malicious intent as soon as he opens his eyes.

Of course, especially Vlad's territory, the province of Methos.

Who told him that Vlad was a handsome guy?

Well, who is to say he is the easiest to bully? He is alone and has not established any faction, nor does he have a backing.

In fact, Vlad had the smallest territory and was the poorest for a reason, because he was an illegitimate child, and Vlad still doesn't know who his mother is. This is undoubtedly a tragedy.

Precisely because of Vlad's identity, not only was he unpopular with his father, but other siblings also disliked him.

Of course, there are other reasons, such as his demon blood not awakening.

So much so that he knew nothing about the cultivation of demon fighting energy, and his perception of dark magic elements and demonic force was almost non-existent.

From this point of view, all doors to the road to the strong were tacitly closed for him.

As for other reasons such as personality, appearance, conflict of interest in words and deeds, there are countless other reasons. After all, there are so many reasons to dislike someone, and it is always easy for people to find more reasons to dislike someone.

Vlad did not hesitate and signed his name decisively. After stamping the seal, he sent the document back to the imperial capital for filing, and then it became effective.

When His Highness the Prince held the seal tightly and stamped his name on it, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

He felt a strong electric current coming from his hand. The electric current was very strong, very strong.

His whole body seemed to be in the midst of an extremely high-intensity electric shock, and his body was convulsing violently.

"Your Highness, Your Highness? Are you okay?"

The old man Oceans saw Vlad twitching as if possessed by an evil spirit, falling to the ground and rolling in pain, sweating, veins bulging, and constantly making inhuman roars. He felt inexplicable and at a loss.

"Who is it? Who is causing trouble under the eyes of the great Wizard of Oceans? Come out quickly!"

There was no sound in the palace except Vlad's muffled roar.

"Look...look at the handover documents."

"Yes, as for the handover document, this will happen only after His Highness signed the handover document."

Only then did Oceans react.

Yes, the previous chief officer was Lord Albert, and Albert was a member of His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The second prince and His Highness have always been at odds with each other, so it is logical that there is indeed a possibility of plotting against His Highness.

Oceans was destined to be disappointed. When he checked the handover documents over and over again, he found nothing fishy at all.

In fact, he had already checked it yesterday. He was just worried that something was missing, so he checked it carefully again. The result was still the same, and there was nothing wrong.

Oceans was very anxious, because it was really impossible to leave no trace under the eyes of his five-star wizard. Either there was something wrong with the transferred documents, or the person who did it was far more capable than he imagined.

"What should I do? What should I do? His Highness's symptoms are indeed like those possessed by evil spirits. I don't care, I have to give it a try first."

The little old man became more and more panicked, his brows couldn't help but frown, and his black eye sockets became even darker. He saw that the already sparse white hair might become further sparse due to excessive use of his brain.

The old man probably knows the dangers of overusing his brain.

He simply gave up using his brain and took the risk. With a casual move, a dark staff flew out from the ring on his hand.

This old man was also tough. No matter whether Vlad was possessed by an evil spirit or not, he released a Soul Locking Technique on Vlad, the moment the force penetrated the staff.

After the staff was amplified, black threads visible to the naked eye, centered on the staff, directly penetrated Vlad's body in an attempt to lock the so-called evil spirit.

At this time, Vlad felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only did he feel like his body was being shocked by electricity, but his entire soul seemed to be wrapped in countless silk threads, making him suffocated.

Although Vlad kept twitching and rolling on the ground, roaring and screaming.

But he could still see, he could see Oceans casting a spell on him. Although he didn't know why his whole body was twitching, he knew that the suffocation feeling deep in his soul came after Oceans cast a spell.

He was so desperate, this... this pig teammate, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was indeed an outsider. Although he was not an evil spirit, his nature was similar.

Vlad's face twisted in pain and he shouted, "Stop, stop quickly, Oceans!"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Oceans' face when he heard this, and then he seemed to be more determined and like an evil spirit, increasing the output of the magic force.

"Your Highness, please bear with me for a moment. I will succeed soon. If you bear with me any longer, the evil spirit will get out of His Highness's body. Otherwise, I will send you to see the devil Satan."

"You succeeded...fuck it, endure...fuck it, I'm not sick!"

"Your Highness, I suspect that you are possessed by an evil spirit, and I am trying my best to remove the evil spirit for you! It is also my fault that my subordinate's practice is too slow. If my subordinate had broken through to a six-star wizard, I would have removed the evil spirit for you. Your Highness also

It won’t be so painful anymore, it’s my fault.”

Just when Vlad was about to curse.

The captain of the guard, the tauren Tuoomuxu, heard the movement in the living room.

Holding a huge sword in his hand, he rushed in with a whirlwind.

When he saw Vlad crying and writhing on the ground, and when he saw Oceans applying black magic to His Highness, he was so jealous that he let out a loud roar.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, ah, save His Highness quickly, Oceans, you are so brave, how dare you assassinate His Highness?!"

"Everyone come in and catch this traitor!"

"Protect Your Highness and don't let the traitor escape!"

With an order, a group of tauren rushed into the house and killed Ossens.

At this moment, Vlad finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the suffocation feeling deep in his soul disappeared.

Oceans secretly thought something was wrong, and saw that his tone was extremely determined.

"Don't be impulsive, Tuomu. I'm just about to treat His Highness. His Highness is already possessed by an evil spirit. If you work harder, we'll be successful soon!"

Before he finished speaking, Vlad completely fainted, partly because his body couldn't hold on any longer.

On the other hand, he was irritated by Oceans, who had thin hair and a determined face.

Before he fainted, a sentence appeared in Vlad's mind.

"This old man is really bad!"

Tauren Tuomu turned his head and saw Vlad twitching twice and completely fainting.

With tears in his eyes, the tauren roared, "Ah, Your Highness, it's all my fault for not protecting you. It's all my fault for not understanding Oceans' conspiracy. Sure enough, Oceans is not a good person. He basically doesn't talk to me.

I know that my subordinates are sincere and loyal, but they are afraid of being caught by me, and they act in a dark and secretive way. Now it seems that they are not good people."

"Brothers, come forward and avenge His Highness with all your loyalty!"

Oceans looked at Tuomu with a speechless face, on the verge of crying. He had just been extremely convinced that the Soul Locking Technique had indeed locked something.

It just seemed to be countless times stronger than the evil spirit, so he couldn't pull out his body for a while. And the reason why the tauren Tuomu thought he was a bad guy was really unconvincing.

Our old man is also a mysterious dark wizard after all, a member of the living zombie clan. On the one hand, he has to manage His Highness's internal affairs, and on the other hand, he also has to delve into witchcraft.

I don't have time to communicate with you, and not everyone can tolerate your rude behavior and the nose hairs that poke out of your nostrils from time to time.
