Chapter 144 – 144. Prince Canin’s Harsh World of Press Is a Harsh World for His Brothers. (2)

– One –

Inside the shabby barn.

After clearing the barrel, follow the small hole below it and climb down the ladder to find a twisted crypt that is not finished with bricks.

However, the earthen walls of the crypt absorb the leaking sound itself, so it could be the best secret meeting place for those who do not have a decent level of soundproofing.

Of course, there was no inferiority as a hiding place.

Sabakin, Sabakin.
Sabakin, Sabakin.

Viscount Uwebol and the Marquis of Caymus followed the one-armed and one-eyed beggars, making their way through the dungeon where the road forked hither and thither.

Relying on the faint light of the portable light-emitting magic tool, they were moving slowly.

“I’m sure you managed to create a place like this.”

Hehe. This is one of the shelters prepared with the staff, no, blood brothers, right before they are cremated as a group, Viscount Uweboll.”

Startle.

Viscount Uweboll stops.

“Do you know me?”

Viscount Uwevol looks at the one-eyed beggar with new eyes.

Although Viscount Uwebol was a central and important figure within the imperial faction, he was not a very famous figure externally.

If he wasn’t from his own domain, he would be someone who had a keen knowledge of the situation of the emperor faction.

The one-eyed beggar stops and looks back.

Like a one-armed beggar, he turned his head backwards.

“I’m late. This is Jack Tennessee, His Excellency the Marquess of Caymus and His Excellency Uweboll.”

“This is Daniel Tennessee.”

The two greeted each other by correctly referring to the two nobles.

They are definitely first-timers.

And both nobles don’t have too many external activities.

Even the Marquis of Caymus has never appeared in public for the past three years.

Therefore, their brothers will never know the Marquis of Caymus’ youthful appearance.

Judging by their middle-aged appearance, they are not participants in Eros Paradise either.

Therefore, it is unlikely that they know the secret of the younger Marquis of Caymus.

If so, the brothers would have inferred the identities of the two based on the information the media had.

Making such a diagnosis, Viscount Uwe Boll raised the value of his brothers.

“I’m sorry I don’t understand this.”

The two imperial aristocrats only thought they were sent by the Tennessee brothers, but never imagined that they were the parties.

Their filthy and dirty looks were unconventional.

Snap.

Viscount Uwebol shook hands with the brothers in turn.

Daniel only had his left hand, so when shaking hands with him, Viscount Uwevol couldn’t hide his embarrassment and flinched slightly.

“Lampage ubeball. Nice to meet you. We always communicated only through official channels such as newspaper pages and statements, but it feels new to meet face to face like this.”

Hehe. What I growled with the tip of a pen on the paper, I don’t know what to do when you wrap it up so politely, Your Excellency.”

Jack smiles.

Half of his face was distorted by burns, so it was a rather ugly smile.

But Viscount Uwevol couldn’t feel any reluctance from his smile.

It was because I heard their circumstances briefly from the Marquis of Caymus, and I thought that they were comrades who would fight together against Regal’s violence.

That’s why he felt sorry for the wounds of glory left on his comrade’s body, but he didn’t feel repulsive.

“By the way, it seems that His Excellency the Marquis of Caymus has a great role-playing engineer by his side. The change in appearance is very natural. Those who do not know Your Excellency in his youth may not dare to guess Your Excellency’s true identity.”

Startle.

The Marquis of Caymus is nervous.

It was then that he realized that he was young.

It was because many days passed after the coldness of his knees and wrists had disappeared, but he had accepted his rejuvenation so naturally.

“That…”

“Well, how about we talk about that in detail a little later?”

When the Marquis of Caymus was at a loss as to where to start, Viscount Uweboll stepped in and sorted out the situation.

Brothers Jack and Daniel nodded and ushered them into the conference room.

Zap, zap.

As I turned the corner, I felt that the soft soil had been compacted a little.

They wouldn’t have gotten out of here very well.

Only the land around here has been touched by a lot of people, so it must have been hardened like this.

Jerk, jerk.

Turning the corner once more, I see a chair and a table made of earthenware.

There was no point in naming them as chairs and tabletops, but at a glance, their purpose seemed obvious.

From the smoothness of their surfaces, Viscount Uweboll and the Marquis of Caymus could again realize how long their brothers had stayed here.

“It’s shabby, but please sit down. Your clothes may get a little dirty, so this,”

Swoop.
Flutter.

Jack pulls out two relatively clean cloths.

“Please sit on this cloth.”

Flutter.
Dump.

Two nobles sat side by side at the head of the conference table.

In the doorway, the brothers sat side by side.

“I don’t even have a cup of tea to serve, I’m very sorry.”

“Don’t worry, we didn’t come to get you some tea.”

The Marquis of Caymus responds by waving his hand at them.

His voice did not have the harshness of an old man.

Daniel’s eyes shine.

‘Was there a counter-yongsul that made even the voice of a young man? It’s not just a reverse role, but a disguise using magic or shamanic powers… ?’

But he didn’t question it.

Even if he didn’t ask the question now, he was sure that Viscount Uweboll would explain.

He must be a man with quick eyesight, a quick brain, and a sure way to get things done.

It was as if he could clearly see what type of person he was, even if he just spontaneously put his hands and feet together in an instant at the tea house without making an appointment in advance.

I want this type of person to exercise their right to remain silent, but they don’t talk about lies.

So, without any regrets about it, Daniel decided to go straight to the point.

“The biggest reason for requesting contact with the Emperor’s faction is to ask if you have any intention of requesting a public service announcement. Through him, we will raise funds to attack Regal, and you will You can preoccupy the propaganda of others. It is a way to mutually benefit each other, so we implore you to commission us for advertisements.”

Viscount Uwevol nodded and opened his mouth.

“I have a lot of intentions. However, haven’t most of you closed the journalism you’ve been publishing in the meantime? I know that there are countless media outlets that have closed their business. Did I misunderstand?”

Viscount Uwevol questions them.

Viscount Uwevol’s question could sound rude to them, so his tone was extremely cautious.

Hehe. If you don’t know the circumstances, we fully understand that we may look like swindlers.”

“… Honestly, yes. After all, even if I ask you guys for an advertisement, if there is no media map to publish the advertisement, and no media company to produce the advertisement, isn’t it just a waste of money?”

Jack smiles.

He had prepared to explain the situation to the two nobles beforehand, so his smile was bold.

“As you said, most of the existing media outlets have closed down, and some of the remaining media outlets are also scheduled to close soon. It is also true that all of the existing media outlets have been shut down. In addition, we, the representatives of media outlets that survived the terrorism of the hounds of Regal, 29 has no intention of going to the front.”

“Then, do you intend to use an agent to get an advertisement?”

“Yes. Sooner or later, at the latest, from the middle of next month, new media companies will be pouring in like bamboo shoots sprouting after the rain. No matter which of them you commission public service announcements from, they will give you priority and preferential treatment unconditionally. There is such an agreement in advance between us and the media representatives.”

Viscount Uweboll’s eyes shine.

“You, the 29 representatives of the surviving media, are you planning to lead the war against the Regal behind the scenes of the fledgling media?”

“Yes. Of course, there will be some new media companies that are not under our influence. In the past, we tried to check the launch of new media outlets, but now we are going to stand by and wait for them to enter the market.”

“Would they themselves be your camouflage?”

“You saw it correctly. We plan to eliminate the entity and distribute the strike points so that Regal cannot prematurely attack us. After the concept of advertising was introduced to the market, those who decided that they could make a lot of money by setting up a new media company As there are many, there will be enough media outlets to use as camouflage.”

“Awesome.”

Hehe. Say nothing.”

Viscount Uweboll and the Marquis of Caymus exchange glances.

Their eyes were colored with admiration.

“Then, what channel should I go through to accurately commission an advertisement from you? After all, isn’t there any reason for us to commission an advertisement from a new media that has nothing to do with you?”

“You can easily understand it just by looking at the logo of the press. Those related to us will have this pattern in common in their logo. For example,”

Swoop, Swoop.

Jack draws a few pictures with his finger on the dirt table.

No, they were trademarks combining letters and pictures.

“There are these logos. Please look at the first logo first. Take a good look here,”

On the surface, they couldn’t find much in common.

However,

“There are three feature points here, here, and here.”

“The solid line in that part is a bit thicker and darker than in other places.”

“Yes. As for the logo next to it, only this part is streamlined.”

“Hmm… So, the logos to be used by the media companies related to you, when overlapped, have distinctive parts at the same point, you mean?”

Jack and Daniel nodded at the same time.

“Yes. All of the logos of the media companies related to us have a characteristic point of the shape of an ‘L’-shaped clamp turned counterclockwise when connected with a solid line. It won’t be easy.”

“Right…”

“About this, I hope only you two know.”

The Marquis of Caymus interrupts the conversation.

“Are you suspecting a spy?”

“Yes. Can you be sure that no one is spying on your side, whether it’s money, violence, or blackmail?”

“…Unfortunately, that’s not the case.”

The face of the Marquis of Caymus is stained with melancholy.

Looking at his face, Jack’s expression is colored with spleen.

“Your Excellency, Marquis.”

“Speak.”

“If you give us full support through public service announcements, until your people provide you with decisive clues about the perpetrators of the serial deaths and the people behind them, we will hold it until the end, without conditions or restrictions. I will dig it up. And if you let me know when you think it will be the most effective moment to expose it through the media, I will publish it in all media outlets at the same time.”

Sparks fly in the eyes of the Marquis of Caymus.

“Did you guys know too?”

Hehe. Wouldn’t it be strange not to know? So far, we’ve been able to bite and tear off Regal, whatever it is, we’ve put fangs into it and tried it.”

“Is that so…!”

The Marquis of Caymus grinds his teeth.

“They have not yet been able to determine what caused the disaster,” He said.

“What we did provoked Regal, and we got revenge on him.”

“…Can you elaborate?”

The Marquis of Caymus calmly confesses his mistakes.

After dispatching Viscount Uwe Boll to the northern unexplored land for some reason, he couldn’t stand his impatience and kept in touch with the Viscount through a communication tool, and told him that Regal had intercepted it.

Judging from that, the Imperial Central Communications Exchange was controlled by the Imperial Central Intelligence Agency, and some or many of the Central Intelligence Agency agents were recruited by Regal.

And in retaliation for their actions, it was revealed that they had assassinated people related to the imperial faction and disguised it as an accident or suicide.

However, he kept quiet about the abuse of Canin.

It was because he wanted to minimize the risk of damaging the dignity of the next great emperor by being known to the imperial subjects through the media.

“… I hope all people in the Empire know that Regal is such a naive bastard.”

“You guys will do that, I have no doubts.”

“Yes. We will do our best. Sir, may we continue to talk about our investigation into your disaster?”

“Like that.”

“We,”

Jack and Daniel, the surviving reporters, and representatives of the media explain their investigation to the two nobles.

We reveal the details of the background investigation of the coroner and investigator who were dispatched to the case of the death of a person related to the imperial faction.

Their whereabouts, whereabouts, and changes in property were also revealed.

But.

“However, it was not possible to meet the parties, because they all died. Also, their inheritance was immediately returned to the treasury instead of being inherited by their children or relatives. All access is prohibited, and tracking is somewhat difficult.”

“Also…”

“Did you know?”

“It’s not like that. I just guessed that the Regal couldn’t let them live. And if I had to see them, they wouldn’t even open their mouths. There’s no way they wouldn’t have double-tripled safeguards to keep them from leaking their testimony.”

“Wouldn’t the mere fact that they died be proof?”

“If Regal denies any connection to those allegations, it won’t be of much use.”

“However, while we did not give up and kept digging until the end, we found several additional physical and circumstantial evidence that could not easily deny Regal’s dealings with them.”

“…! Is that really true?”

Jack and Daniel took turns telling them the results of their coverage.

A deep joy flashed in the eyes of the Marquis of Caymus.

“Can you definitely expose them?”

“Yes. However, I was hesitant because I couldn’t find any definitive clues yet. If I add a few more links, I can complete the story about the fact that Regal slaughtered your people. When that time comes, something serious will happen to Regal Striking revelations could pour forth from all over the empire simultaneously.”

“It makes my heart pound just by hearing it. I salute you for your hard work for our side.”

Hehe. No words. It’s just the result of our struggle to survive.”

Was it because the efforts of the media moved his heart?

Or was it because his heart was inclined towards them from the beginning?

“We will give you full support from our side. I will spend the public service advertisement without reserve. I will mobilize all my influence, stake my name and reputation, and promise to make it happen.”

The brother’s expression is colored with emotion.

Finally, they too can find a ray of hope in their lonely struggle.

Following Monohorn’s advice, he finally had the minimum conditions to fight against the Regal and the aristocratic faction.

“Go, thank you, sir!”

“Thank you!”

They knelt on the floor and prostrated themselves, thanking Viscount Uweboll and the Marquis of Caymus.

Viscount Uwevol quickly raised them to their feet.

“You don’t have to be so rigid. It’s an informal meeting in an informal setting, isn’t it?”

“It was just to convey my gratitude.”

“Excessive politeness is the same as rudeness. Please stand up and sit down.”

“Yes, sir.”

After Viscount Uwevol calmed them down, he took a heavy bag from his bosom.

He put it on the earthen table,

Nodded
Woowook.

The weight of the top of the table displaced it.

The pupils of the brothers shake without mercy.

Viscount Uwevol was bigger than they thought.

And even he had a hot drive.

“It’s a start-up fee. I have some advertising plans to commission, so I’ll give them to you before I leave. It doesn’t matter if I change them a little to suit your taste, so just focus on spreading the core content as widely as possible.”

“Okay. Do you have any special requests for advertisements?”

“I’ve written everything down in the documents to be delivered. Among the contents I want you to keep, there are no things that will embarrass you, so you just have to keep them. I’ll leave the rest to your discretion.”

And he was a person who knew how to acknowledge the discretion of the media.

The brothers felt both great relief and joy at the fact that they had chosen the best person to trade with.

“Now, let’s put aside work-related matters at this point, and why don’t we chat for a while?”

“It’s to the point where we’d like to ask, Your Excellency.”

“However, the stories that will come out from now on will be stories that should never be published in the newspaper. At least for a while. If you promise to agree to that, we can have a pleasant conversation right away. Ha?”

Whip, Whip!

The brothers nodded vigorously enough to make the sound of the wind.

The brothers looked at each other and laughed.

The two nobles smiled as they looked at them, who looked exactly like each other.
