Chapter 348: Roddirey's showdown
Now that Ayton was in a 'hidden' state, Raya naturally couldn't notice him, and when she also climbed to the roof and lifted a piece of rubble to observe the situation inside, Ayton lifted the hidden state and quietly came behind her.
Raya was lying on the roof, still holding the brand new dagger that Ayton had forged for her, staring intently at the situation inside, as the thugs of the Blood Scythe seemed to be looking for a few more dusty women to have fun with.
Ayton tapped her on the shoulder from behind, and the girl, known as the 'Demon', was so shocked that she instantly stabbed her backhand, but the former was just as quick to catch her right hand holding the dagger.
"Is that you!?" Raya instinctively wanted to kick the attacker in the crotch behind her, but she could see Ayton's face clearly.
The movement on the roof of the building just now attracted the attention of the members of the Blood Scythe Gang below.
"Boss, there seems to be movement on the roof"
"Maybe it's a big mouse."
The two on the roof quickly fell silent, and Raya looked at Ayton with wide eyes, "Why are you here?!"
"What else do I want to ask you?" Ayton lowered his voice.
"I don't think they're happy and want to create some kind of attack. Raya looked at her clenched right arm and quickly switched the dagger to her left hand.
Ayton let go of his hand and looked at the blonde girl who was not afraid of the sky, "I want to catch the leader of the Blood Scythe Gang." ”
Raya looked around, but couldn't find Ariel.
"She's staying at home today, maybe, we can work together. ”
......
The moonlight is gradually covered by dark clouds, and it is completely late at night, even the most energetic person can hardly resist the invasion of drowsiness.
But even so, there are still a small number of people who have to obey the orders of the gang leader Woolley and patrol the main building, especially when several brothers died inexplicably last night.
A cool breeze blew, and the Night's Watch felt cold on his neck, and then his body fell to the ground...
"Help me get her away. Ayton handed the sleeping Marina to Raya in the back, who carried the woman two heads taller than him on his back, and whispered indignantly: "The cooperation you said is to let me help you save people?!"
"Yes, I'll help you kill people, you help me save people?" Ayton nodded seriously.
The corners of Raya's eyes twitched slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside, and tell you in advance, that guy from Woolley is very vigilant when he sleeps." ”
"Got it, you go outside and wait first"
Temporarily separated from Raya, Ayton shook his head with a sneer, he did not dare to leave behind the stealth assassination method taught by Mentor Shaperina, and with the help of the 'concealment' of the Orb of Fraud, he easily came to Woolley's room.
It might be tricky to deal with him head-on, but he doesn't even know how he failed in this kind of assassination.
took out a bottle of the Spider Demon Dismantler's venom and forcibly poured it into his mouth, and the moment he woke up, Mei'er hit him with another 'mental shock'. After a while, his whole body was completely stiff, and then he stabbed the 'Dementor Thorn' into the back of his head.
After a brief inquiry, Ayton discovered that Woolley knew nothing about Bais's whereabouts, and that he was actually only a peripheral person. Just obey the orders given from above.
Without any useful information, Ayton went outside the headquarters and threw his head in front of Raya.
"Anyway, why did you get into a conflict with the Blood Scythe?"
"They provoked me first, I'm just erecting the prestige of the 'demon'" Raya confirmed that it was the suffocated and dead Woolley, and pushed the awakened Marina to Ayton's side.
"Who is she? ”
"I've been in a bit of trouble lately, Byss has been arrested. ”
"Bys, it's that middle-aged uncle with thick eyebrows and big eyes, right? Haha, who doesn't have long eyes so much. Raya sneered
Ayton glanced at the silent Marina next to him, and said lightly, "The second prince sent someone to do it." ”
"Otherwise, let's make a deal" Raya suddenly leaned closer, and a gleam flashed in her blue eyes: "I'll help you find Bais, and you can get me the magic guide gun then." ”
Ayton frowned slightly: "How do you know about the magic guide gun?"
"In those two months, I saw the 'silver shimmer' in Starry Night's hand, and the sound coming from the basement seemed to be not weak, and I wanted to play with it, but the guy had to sleep with that silver iron lump every night. ”
“... Okay, when you find out where Bais is, I'll give you a magic guide gun. ”
"It's a deal. ”
......
The night passed, the events of the previous night were unknown to anyone, and the ordinary residents began to make a necessary livelihood for the day again, but the magnates of Huangyao City were exceptionally quiet, as if they were waiting for the summer celebration to arrive two days later.
On this day, the eldest prince sent someone to Ayton's mansion early, and the latter told Ariel to wait obediently at home.
When he came to the mansion of the eldest prince, Ayton soon saw Gatru with a gloomy face, and the wise man Mo Lao disappeared, Ayton behaved very calmly at this time, and by the way, he also pretended to ask Mo Lao's whereabouts.
"Did you really make that 'flintlock pistol' yourself?"
But in fact, the arrogant prince would not answer any questions from Ayton, and would only stare at him and ask for the information he wanted.
"Actually, there was a dwarf who helped, but the most crucial enchantment on the dispenser was attached by my own hands. ”
"I need you to make more of these weapons and bullets. Gatru said to Ayton with a calm face.
"It's my pleasure. ”
......
Through the flintlock pistol, Ayton established the first trust with the Grand Prince, but the latter still did not tell him important information (although the important information was already known last night). )
But taking this opportunity, Ayton decided to tell the second prince the information about last night...
"I don't know what good news Lord Ayton has brought us," Pivot still had his polite smile that had not changed for years.
"At noon on the summer celebrations, the army of the Grand Prince arrives at the pier in the northern part of the city by boat, numbering 10,000 men. Ayton didn't beat around the bush and directly said what he knew.
Pivot frowned rarely: "Are you sure?"
"Anyway, the information was told to me by the eldest prince, believe it or not, but this news is based on the fact that I gave him a musket that can kill other people within twenty meters even if it is an ordinary person, so you have to be careful. Ayton shrugged his shoulders and emphasized his role in passing.
In this regard, Piwater seemed to have expected it, and looked at him with a smile: "In this case, I will truthfully report to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and His Royal Highness will definitely remember your merits." ”
"Are Blue Coco and Bais alright?"
"Your Excellency, rest assured, when the summer celebration is over, the two will return safely," Pivot said, squinting his eyes.
"However, I secretly advise you, Her Royal Highness the little princess is too special, although it will definitely not be life-threatening, but even if it is for your own sake, you should keep a certain distance from her. ”
“... What the hell does she mean to you in this struggle for power" After a moment of silence, Ayton asked the question he wanted to know the most, about why he was drawn into this political-political-strife-to-fight.
But Pivort just laughed at it, Ayton had no choice, turned around and left here, there was some news, he had to get someone who shared his purpose to know...
Ayton was once again outside the iron gate, which was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened from the outside.
Confirming that there was no one around, Ayton could only break out of the window, and the two corpses at the original door were cleaned up, but when he came to the tunnel, he found that the exit had been poured with molten iron and completely sealed.
It seems that this room is only one of the entrances to the underground entertainment venue, and if he wants to know the whereabouts of the three princes, Ayton can only go to another person, Christina.
But when he found the marquisess, all he got was a useless location, and after being busy in Huangyao City for a long time, he didn't find the third prince who didn't see the end of sight, but when he returned to the mansion, he found that Luo Dirui had been waiting here for a long time...
"It turns out that you were the ones who killed me in the first place, it's really a pity," Roddiri let out a long sigh.
"What role did Lan Coco play in this fight?" Ayton asked as he stared at Roddiry's eyes, and the news could not be asked by the other two princes, perhaps only the seemingly weakest third prince in front of him could tell him.
"I ask you, you really want to save Kerr, right? Roddiri said in a deep voice.
"Sort of, if my life is in danger, I'll still quit your game. Ayton replied in a deep voice. Ariel, Starry Night, and Bazaar were all watching from the second floor behind him.
Roddiri glanced at them, then at Ayton.
"Just say it, they won't say it. Ayton's tone sank...
"The Empire of Marcus is about to wage war against us, and Kerr's sacrifice is the only way for them to maintain the continuation of their throne. Roddiri briefly spoke of these hidden secrets.
"What?" Ayton had just finished speaking, and he instantly realized what he meant. The powerful Marcus Empire is about to launch a war of aggression, and marriage diplomacy is the first thing they have to do after they ascend to the throne.
"If the two of them ascend to the throne, the first thing to do is to marry Kerr, if you are Kerr's friend, you should know how resistant she is to this way. Roddiri looked him straight in the eye and said without hesitation.
Ayton fell silent, through those days in the Land of Thorns, he knew that Lan Keke chose to go out alone to train himself in order to become stronger, so that he could have more say in the kingdom with his strong magic strength in the future.
But she's too young to get to that level.
The situation in front of him seems to be that if you want to really rescue Lan Keke, you can only help the third prince in front of you, because even if the other two ascend the throne, Lan Keke will not be rescued in the real sense.
No, there may be another possibility. Take her out of here, out of the kingdom of Bright Blue... But the question is, does she know about the struggle of the three princes' factions, will she leave her second brother behind and leave alone...
Maybe now Ayton doesn't realize that Lan Keke has risen to a height in his heart that he didn't even realize, and he doesn't even know the specific reason... Perhaps, it was just because she had shouted that simple sentence to the forest elves in the Asahi Valley.
