Chapter 344: The Conspiracy of the Second Prince (I)
"Blood Scythe Gang..."Ayton took a deep breath, his face couldn't help but be gloomy, the Blood Scythe Gang is now the underground force in the South District, it is said that it is controlled by a certain nobleman, and I don't know if it is the eldest prince or the second prince, no matter who it is, he has already chosen to stand on the opposite side of Ayton.
"My lord, what shall we do?" asked Kenig impatiently.
Ayton glanced at Erin, who was sobbing quietly, and then at the starry night, who was comforting her. Behind him came the sound of the Nether Dagger unsheathed.
"You know where the Blood Scythe headquarters are, right?"
......
The Blood Scythe Gang, the underground force that rose after the fall of the Black Finger in the southern district of Huangyao City, although it is an emerging force, the scale is not inferior to the Black Finger, there are more than ten fourth-order powerhouses, and the gang leader has reached the peak strength of the fifth order.
"I'll take the people first, you may be in trouble later, you know what to do then, right?"
"My lord, please rest assured, I don't believe him won't agree to this little thing," the leader of the Blood Scythe Gang, Wu Lai said flatteringly to the white-clothed masked man in front of him.
The latter nodded, and let his men leave the Scythe headquarters with the knocked out Bais, not long before they left.
Twenty or so figures appeared outside the walls of the headquarters.
"Ariel, you're here to protect them, I'll go in first to find out the information. β
"Brother, can't you just kill it together?"
"No, you stay outside and wait for my news. Ayton said in a deep voice, telling Ariel to get ready to climb over the wall.
The girl reluctantly made a gesture and sent Ayton inside, and then turned her gaze to the staring crowd next to her, and they took Starry Night and Erin with them for safety. Naturally, the other eighteen people followed.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and these underground forces did not have the concept of patrolling the periphery, otherwise some of them would be discovered sooner or later.
......
Entering the 'hidden' state, Ayton quietly touched the roof of a side room, compared to the destroyed black finger, the headquarters of the Blood Scythe Gang is not large, there are only two buildings with lights, one is only a two-story main building, and the other is a remote low building.
"Mei'er, help me find someone. Ayton silently went inside the main building and woke her up again.
"Master, twelve fourth-order and one fifth-order peak, master, this force is not something you can stop. β
"Then help me find a lonely mouth!" Ayton's eyes narrowed slightly, and under the guidance of Mei'er, he quickly sneaked into a room with several compartments, emitting a disgusting smell of feces.
It was the toilet, and there was the sound of a pot flushing from inside, and Ayton stabbed the 'Dementor Thorn' into the back of his head as the Blackfinger member had just solved his physical problems.
After a brief inquiry, Ayton learns that it was indeed the Bloodsickles who attacked his residence tonight, but that he was only a new member and didn't know much more. It's just that if they hold any prisoners, it must be in a remote low house.
It was impossible for someone under the control of the Dementor to lie, and leaving the body behind, Ayton silently went to the deep low room.
Inside, it was a cell-like structure, and there seemed to be several men screaming and swearing, and it was full of foul language.
The content of the voice made Ayton frown, and he went into a 'hidden' state to take a look, and sure enough, five members of the Blood Scythe Gang were doing dirty things around a woman.
But when Ayton saw the woman's face, his eyes suddenly changed, just because of her identity, it turned out to be the poor woman Ayton met on the streets of the East Side yesterday.
According to the content of Luo Dirui's conversation, it can also be known that she is a maid next to the marquisess, who was originally in the hands of the third prince, but why is she here now!?
The woman's consciousness seemed to have fallen into a coma, but it was necessary to understand what happened to her, Ayton looked coldly at the members of the Blood Scythe Gang beside her, the long sword was unsheathed, and the figure appeared.
A few cold rays passed, and silence returned to the low room.
......
The body was full of soreness and pain, as if someone was slapping her face, Ma Lina slowly propped up her eyelids, and the first thing that caught her eye was a masked man, and it could be seen from the skin at the corners of his eyes that he was not very old.
"I'm not here to save you, if you want to live, answer my question. A cold voice came to my ears.
Hearing this, Ma Lina barely cheered up a little and asked in a distracted manner: "You are under the prince." β
β... It's not" After a moment of silence, Ayton coped with her question for the time being.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm just a tool. Marina lowered her gaze again, her eyes full of emptiness.
Looking at her appearance, Ayton slowly loosened the strength of his grip on the Soul Eater Thorn: "Tell me, maybe I can help you fulfill your wish." β
It turned out that among the three princes of the Bright Blue Kingdom, even the most unpopular third prince Luo Dirui was not willing to be mediocre, but secretly cultivated his own power in places where the eyes of the world were out of reach.
In order to take the throne, it is necessary to use all means to draw more nobles to their side, and Marina's mistress, the Marquis of Christina, still chooses neutrality.
Because among the eight marquises, she is the only female marquis, and the operation model is similar to that of the Duke of Tude in the West, they are all merchants who made their fortunes, and their military force is relatively weak. In her words, even if she stands on one side, she will be squeezed clean because of her weak strength.
But now is an extraordinary time, and the means of winning over the aristocracy is not only a method of inducement, but also a good choice to force others to stand on their side.
And although Marina is nominally the personal maid of the Marquis of Christina, in fact, the master and servant are like sisters, as long as they catch Marina, it is equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of the Marquis Christina. As for the specific reasons for this, it is not known.
So in this way, because there is no strong man in the family, Marina was caught by the third prince's subordinates in her sleep and taken to an underground entertainment venue, and before she was transferred to the second prince's subordinates for unknown reasons, and now she is transferred to the blood sickle gang under him, as a bargaining chip to force Christina to join them.
And now she seems to have lost her usefulness, and is left here to fend for herself,
Hearing her words, Ayton couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "Since you are a bargaining chip that can hold the Marquis hostage to join a certain faction, then I am curious why you have an important role and are still treated like this." β
There was a touch of desolation in Marina's eyes: "... for they will raise up the dead..."
The dead soldiers, a kind of tool people who work for their masters, have a very low survival rate, and do not have any emotions and six desires, all just to obey the orders of their masters. But how can such a person be cultivated simply.
A good dead soldier was trained from an early age, cut off all kinds of outside contacts, and instilled all kinds of loyalty, this model is somewhat similar to the Assassin family's training to adopt children, but the difference is that the former serves the individual, and the latter serves the family.
However, there is also a quicker way to train, which is to recruit adults who are mediocre and have no hope for the future, and control their souls by fulfilling their inner desires.
For example, the idlers in the southern district who do nothing all day long first use money, lust, power and other situations to buy, and after a series of cruel training, they cooperate with the means to corrode their souls, so that they completely lose themselves and feel numb to life, leaving only an empty shell!
This is similar to the way the dark elves control the slaves in the dark realms, by releasing the only remaining lust among the male slaves, allowing them to work for them day and night in that brief pleasure!
But some people's desires are difficult to be satisfied, and some of them yearn for a higher level of women in their hearts, and in order to make the best use of things, Ma Lina is also thrown into the bottom pile... There are many ways to control people's hearts, and lust and greed in human nature are undoubtedly the simplest and crude.
"That third prince Rodir is a demon in human skin!" these were the words that Marina bit out between her teeth.
Knowing what had happened, Ayton was silent for a moment. Although I have heard so much about the story, I don't seem to have found a single bit of information about Bais.
However, he figured out the reason for the attack on the mansion, and the purpose was the same as before, to attract him to join, but this time it was in a tough way, and the person behind the scenes was still the second prince.
Similarly, what happened to Malina made Ayton very scared, and if Starry Night or Erin were caught by them, the consequences would be unimaginable!
No, there's still something to be figured out!
Marina was originally in the hands of the third prince, why is it now in the hands of the second prince! Even if there is an unseemly affair between them, it should always be the real purpose to win over Christina...
If she knew what had happened to Marina, and according to rumors, the relationship between the master and servant was very good, would she have broken the kettle and come to the same end?
From this point of view, the reason for squeezing out the final value of the maid is a little untenable, or is it that the two princes have deceived Christina into joining through this means, and it won't be long before she will be abandoned?
At this point, Ayton told Malina about his conjecture, and the latter's face struggled, and it suddenly realized that his mistress was probably in danger as well!
Originally, she was still thinking about how to hide what happened to her, or how to dissuade the hostess from being patient after being discovered, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she is still too naΓ―ve.
Looking at her like this, Ayton shook his head, originally he had nothing to do with the marquis, there was no need to help her. But now that they have a common enemy, the one can try to establish a hidden connection with the marquis.
Ayton pulled down his scarf, revealing the face of 'Elvar', looked into Marina's eyes and said, "Now those princes are also using the same methods against me, maybe I can save you and your mistress, but only if you give me a piece of information that can be trusted by your master." β
After much thought, Marina was impressed by Ayton's sincerity and whispered something to him, who gave him a strange smile on his face, then reassured himself and walked out of the room.
He also wants to save her now, but if he saves her away, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attract the attention of the second prince, so that what they did to Malina is likely to reach Christina's ears, and in order to avoid her anger, it is likely that they will take the lead tonight.
......
A few minutes later, Ayton climbed over the fence and landed on the silent street, and Ariel quickly walked over and asked worriedly, "Brother, how is the situation?"
Ayton glanced at Erin, who was crying and red-eyed not far away, and said in a deep voice: "The affairs of the mansion are indeed done by the Blood Scythe Gang, but Bais is not here. β
"And where's my dad," Erin suddenly cried out to Ayton. Warren, Kenig and the others all had heavy looks.
Ariel rolled up her sleeves excitedly: "It seems that we can only go in and ask in person." β
