I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 317

"All the causes of this massive and widespread earthquake were caused by Als von Barca, acting lord of Fontana territory. Therefore, I hereby suggest that the Percival family should pursue its responsibility with the Fontana family."

An alliance of three nobles that drove away the former hegemonic House of Resolute and expanded its power.

The alliance of three nobles continued to discuss over the years together.

It is said that the Church-led meeting of the Alliance of the Three Nobles was held.

The main purpose of this alliance meeting was to determine the next hegemonic aristocracy.

For the many nobles that still exist everywhere, they have a close relationship with the royal family and rise to a hegemonic nobility with indirect but powerful influence.

All three great aristocracy are worthy of their place, but I do not think that others should ever take control of it.

At the beginning of the talks, they were held hostage by each other, and they were in a flash state that was not strange to erupt at any time.

But there was a gradual change.

Now, while aiming to seize hegemony, there is a move to stabilize the status quo.

The reason for this was to the north and south of the Alliance of Three Nobles.

The Risolte family, a former hegemonic aristocracy and the great aristocracy of the south that still survives despite its decline.

And the Resolute family and the Fontana family in the north made a North-South alliance.

Everyone felt that the alliance was quite unusual.

This is because the Fontana family in the north died just a short while ago in the land far from the territory of our lord, Carlos de Fontana.

The children left behind are young children who are still unable to even talk, and it is impossible to summarize the rush.

Everyone thought so, but things went on at once.

The knight, said to be of peasant origin, moved immediately after the death of our lord Carlos.

The speed is just as fast as an electrolithographic flame.

The knight, who learned of the death of our lord while no one knew, protected Carlos' rightful son, the next lord, and was placed in the position of acting lord.

And shortly afterwards, I made an alliance with House Resolute.

A knight named Arus, who was closely associated with the illustrious Carlos, who suddenly enlarged the Fontana family, no different from the aristocracy that existed there just a short while ago.

Moreover, the Balkan army, led by Als von Barca, brought it into harmony without pulling any strings against the overwhelming Menmen.

When the Menmen headed north, the outcome of this battle, which everyone had anticipated would be a victory for the Menmen, was unexpected.

The trinity talks that continued in this state of great anxiety between the north and the south gradually changed their purpose.

It was thought that the day would come when the three nobles would fight each other, but by prioritizing the discussion of the immediate issues, the content gradually changed.

Not to decide on the next hegemonic nobility, but to discuss issues that arise in the three great nobles and the nobility territories over which they have influence.

Then, some time after the New Year's celebration, the Alliance of the Three Nobles talks became known as the Trinity Council.

It became a forum for discussion of a wide variety of matters, including each other's territory, economy, and military.

There was a lot to discuss, and it was fortunate for everyone that the presence of potential enemies and the futile confrontation within the Alliance of the Three Nobles coincided with the perception of foolishness, resulting in a place where compromises could be found without the use of force.

But the three-head meeting didn't last long either.

A sudden natural mutation struck.

Spring had come soon, and it was about to get busier, and sudden misfortune fell on everything without any premonition.

Every territory of the three nobles was affected by a massive earthquake that caused widespread earthquakes.

The building collapsed, causing many people to tremble in the winter cold.

No matter how large the territory, a catastrophe could not be ignored.

But after a while, I heard a strange story.

It's like an urban legend that some people "warn" of an unprecedented catastrophe in advance.

Such stories are common in themselves.

After something actually happened, I later claimed that "I actually expected this event", because it was common for untouchables to appear, acting as if they were prophets.

But not this time.

Three astronomical phenomena observed just before the catastrophe.

A star, moon and sun anomaly that occurred as if it evoked fear before inflicting a real damage: an earthquake.

Someone had pronounced it in advance.

That person is the knight of the Fontana family, Ars von Barca, who has gained attention rapidly in recent years.

Als von Barca had been bustling about the astronomical phenomenon for days.

What a surprise, they were delivering the information to the King's Land far away from Fontana.

And immediately after that, an earthquake struck.

Who caused this earthquake?

You won't have to think about it.

Ars von Barca named himself after the Ice Clan, but mastered the magic of the earth on his own and fought against opposing factions with its power.

It was thought that Ars von Barca, who had even developed his own magic, had finally created a superior magic.

Moreover, the moon the night before the earthquake was noticed.

The red moon appeared on the day of the new moon, which could not have been seen in the night sky.

This red moon is said to be a more ominous symbol than in ancient times.

The literature has already been lost, and although I don't know the principle, it was thought that magic was involved.

On a special day when the magic in the atmosphere increases its density, a red moon that does not exist appears as if it were floating in the sky.

Did he use that magic to activate the great magic of the earth?

It was only natural to think so.

That is why the Percival family, which is the corner of the three great aristocracies, declared at the trio meeting that we should crush the demons of the North who caused this catastrophe.

"Objection"

But there was an objection.

It was clear to everyone at this three-head meeting that there was a pursuit of responsibility against the Fontana family.

I wonder why.

There was someone from the Fontana family who attended the meeting as a witness, and he objected.

"My Fontana family and Ars von Barca, acting on our behalf, do not have any means of expressing such events. It is virtually non-existent and, on the contrary, Fontana demands responsibility from the Percival family."

"What do you mean? You say we have any responsibility for the Percival house!!

"As I mentioned earlier, the Fontana family is not aware of this disaster. Rather, why this happened is related to last year's king's death. The King, who was on the move from the Fontana family where he was visiting to return to King's Landing, was hidden by a sudden raid. If I may say so, could this disaster be described as the wrath of the king or the will of heaven? If so, I believe that the mastermind of the previous King's Raid was the direct cause of the catastrophe."

"What do you got? You're telling me it was our Percival house that put hands on the king?

"Nevertheless, my Fontana family has been conducting a thorough investigation into this matter since the death of our ancient lord, Carlos. So, what has surely come to mind is the presence of the Percival family. I would like to ask you about your attendance at the three-head meeting. May I forgive what has been done to the king? No, the answer is no. I ask House Percival to explain the king's death."

It was supposed to be a triple-headed meeting to pursue responsibility for the earthquake.

But there was someone who threw a stone at it.

This is Leon von Graham, the Knight of Graham, who belongs to the Fontana family.

Rion, who was supposed to have come to the explanation at first, proudly declared it.

The king's life was taken by the Percival house of the three great nobles.

Shortly after the speech, there was a big applause in the troika.

There was a bigger applause than when House Percival told House Fontana to pursue the cause of the earthquake.

The applause is no doubt but a sign of agreement with Leon von Graham.

Of course.

Because Leon von Graham, who started his activities in the King's Land before the three great nobles met, never came here without any math.

The Linzats and Menmen, who were already to have economic ties with the Fontana family within the Royal Family, the Church and the Alliance of the Three Nobles, had already covertly acknowledged that they would agree to this statement.

Thus, the Troika entered a new phase.

From where each of the three great aristocrats talked, he began to undergo further deterioration to hold the Percival family responsible for the king's murder.
