Chapter 306: New Clues
Someone whose identity is less clear? ”
"It's a gradual and deteriorating process...... At first, they set their sights on the relatively strong peasants of the nearby villages, and the serfs raised by the tenants. After that, they began to tolerate some homeless people who committed petty theft. It was at this time that Mittal became a not-so-pure mercenary organization. Their leaders gradually discovered that God would turn a blind eye to any money they could get. ”
"This is blasphemy against the Lord." Sextus commented nonchalantly.
"Mittal went from being a mercenary to a criminal syndicate. But because they still maintain their traditions of efficient and affordable employment services and their own strength, no lord is willing to take the initiative to offend them. Of course, they are also very familiar with each other, and they will not take the initiative to threaten the territory of the great nobles. Kalujie looked at Remy playfully, "Now there are many Mittal in number, and there are many internal factions, there is no unified command and dispatch, but it is somewhat similar to the loose German Empire. Merely...... The workmanship of that necklace is not fake. It means that its original owner was supposed to be the Supreme Commander of the Mittal Mercenary Regiment or their descendants. It's a pity that the girl will never be able to speak, otherwise she should be able to knock out more valuable things. ”
"You say, this mercenary group will take on any job?"
"The Mercenary Group only provides mercenary services. The reason for all the work is that there are many people who commit the crime of stealing, looting, and committing adultery under the banner of Mittal. After all the buckles on Mittal's head, their fame is not so good now. ”
John nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "This is not close to the road of Anriwang, the guards were all transferred to the front during the war, and no one dealt with the robbers, you little girl, came to Epirus from Serbia alone?" And also...... Your Greek accent doesn't even sound like a foreigner. ”
"My uncle has a business in Epirus, and I have come to find him......" Remy's face turned pale, just a little better, "My uncle taught me to read and write when I was a child, and he lived in Thrace for a while. He had a very large fur business, and he was told that he handled a third of the leather used by the people in all of Constantinople. I asked him about his temporary residence in Epirus...... But when I came here, I learned that my uncle hadn't heard from me for half a year. ”
"If the leather business is so big, his reputation should be known in the private market...... I'll be mindful that maybe he's just going to Egypt or some other place further afield to do business. John shook his head slightly, "There are some shacks under the castle, you can deal with them there...... As for those dangerous tools, they are not suitable for the little girl, and the archon will keep them for you. ”
"Your Majesty, if you don't mind...... You can give this little girl to me. Kalujie bowed to John, "If the owner of the necklace is a relative or family member of Commander Mittal, it would be good for us to know more details...... Even your assassination may have something to do with Mittal's periphery. ”
"Of course......" Kalujie turned her gaze back to Remy, "if what this little girl says is not true...... Even if this necklace has a deeper origin, then the matter is even more interesting. ”
Later in the evening, when Evelet walked into Caruja's room with a bowl of warm apple puree, Remy was lying on the table sobbing and Carujie had a pile of things she had previously found on Remy.
"Miss Kalujie, this is a snack prepared in the back kitchen."
"Did Your Majesty let you come......"
"Your Majesty wants to know your interrogation...... Oh, the situation of inquiry. Evelet set the apple puree aside and asked softly, "Is what Remy said in the cabinet this morning true?" ”
"I don't dare to make up my mind about everything she says until there is tangible evidence. But the relationship between this little girl and Mittal should not be so simple. The woman who gave him the necklace traveled thousands of miles to the little-known small village of Anriwang, and it didn't make sense...... I'm going to keep her with me for a while. ”
"She's still an enemy of you during the day......"
"She can be enemies with me, but she shouldn't be at odds with Ducart...... I promised the girl to help her find her uncle. I also need her to help me unravel the cobwebs that surround Mittal's organization. ”
"May I ask one more question, Ms. Carujie." Evelet probed.
"You are Your Majesty's Chosen Lady, and there should be no one who can't get along with you. But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"Your Majesty wants to liquidate the Habsburg royal family, which organized the assassination behind the scenes, and the mercenary organization that did it...... Whoever it was, the sea of blood outside the fortress had already given them a response. Why are you still clinging to a mercenary organization that is indiscriminate and morally corrupt? ”
"There are many reasons, Your Highness."
Kalujie patted Remy's shoulder, and the little girl looked up with tears in her eyes, and said one by one, "That...... The woman told me to go find the commander before I died...... Tell him what the real murderer is the Duke of Styria...... The contents of that box are all the rewards she left for me......"
"Duke Styria?"
"Before 1439, the title of Duke of Styria was above the head of Frederick, a side branch of the House of Habsburg." "Although I don't know what the relationship between this woman and Mittal's higher-ups is, if you follow this line, the empire may be able to find a powerful helper before tearing down the walls of Vienna and facing Frederick III." ”
"What else?"
"There are also some personal reasons...... I'll talk to Your Majesty about it later. Convey it to Your Majesty. Kalujie sighed, "It looks like I'm going to be busy for a while, but now that I think about it, I miss the life of wandering around with the caravan." ”
……
"That's what Ms. Kalujie said,"
Sophia found a hand towel to wipe off the ink marks on the back of her hand, and blew on the manuscript paper in satisfaction. The Habsburg plan needed to be extremely meticulous, and the slightest mistake could have buried the entire empire, and although it was only a rough and extreme framework, at least it was the first step.
"Mittal...... Ask Hunyadi about this another day, he may know more than the little girl. It's just that Kalujie seems to be too concerned about this matter. The plan is in full swing, and the impact of a mercenary army can hardly make a splash...... What's more, it's this kind of mercenary who doesn't even have a clear establishment. ”
"When Lady Kalujie recognized Mittal's necklace at a glance, you should have known that her connection to the little girl and Mittal was not easy, my dear brother."
