Section 153: Murderous Intentions (3rd Watch)
"I'm going to kill Count Lauzitz." Arold said.
"What are you talking about, although I also want to kill that arrogant guy, but it seems that you are more anxious than I am now?" Harvey sat cross-legged on the long stone bench in the cloister in the courtyard, and Arold stood on the stone steps between the courtyard and the gazebo, and it was late at night, and the castle was silent, except for the occasional night guard of the palace, no one would sneak here, so it was the place where Arold had a secret meeting with his chief spy.
"Too many people have already lost their lives because of this scumbag." Arold clenched his hand, and the bloodless pale face of the little retinue seemed to shake in front of him, reminding him of his innocent young life.
"Arold." Suddenly Harvey stood up and put his hand on his back, but in this cold and windy night, Harvey's hand was very warm, which made Arold calm his mood a little.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a mess, but what do you have to do with Count Lauzitz's assassination plan?" Arold is by no means a whim, the Count of Rausitz is in trouble with the Wendell family from a personal grudge, and is an important suspect in the murder of the old duke, and he is also a major culprit in the war with the Bohemias, and has coveted the title of Duke of Abel, the brother of Princess Josie, for a long time, Arold originally just wanted to help Duke Abel suppress the power of Count Rauzitz, so that he would lose his rights and live in pain and loneliness for the rest of his life. However, the Earl of Lausitz first gave Sir Andrew a poisoned sword in an attempt to kill himself. In order to kill several innocent lives, this qiē made Arold determined to get rid of the cancer of the Duchy of Mason.
"Impossible, Count Lauzitz has his own knights in and out of the palace, I heard that he also hired a mercenary army composed of Navians, and he also attaches great importance to his diet on weekdays, we can't get it, not to mention that Duke Abel and the people of the Herman family seem to have a lot of protection for this distant relative." Harvey said with a frown.
"There must be a way, by the way, come with me to a place in the suburbs tomorrow." Arold had already made up his mind in his heart, and he turned to Harvey and said.
"Oh, where to go?" Harvey asked curiously.
"You'll find out when you go. Where am I going to find something. Arold's eyes filled with darkness. Harvey stood behind him and shuddered, as if the night breeze might be some other reason.
Early in the morning, when the first rays of the sun shone on the earth, two horsemen galloped across the fields, one after the other. They all wore hoods and capes. Try to hide your identity as low-key as possible. However, if the people who lived in the castle happened to be strolling along the field paths at this time, they would find that the man on horseback was actually their court minister, Arrod.
"Arold: We've been gone for a long time, where are we going?" Harvey's body jolted up and down as the mount galloped. She looked at the trees moving from her side to either side and asked Arrod.
"We're almost there, passing the stream in front of us, and between the mountain streams is our destination." Arrod tightened the reins of his horse and pulled his hood upward, breathing in the fresh morning air, and pointing to a grove in front of him, through which a babbling stream flowed.
"So what are you waiting for?" Harvey used his tight and powerful legs to slam the horse's belly under his crotch, and rushed over first, she didn't expect Arold to leave Mason Castle alone without his bodyguard knight early in the morning, and came to this wilderness, you must know that if Count Lauzitz knew, it was hard to guarantee that an assassin would not be sent to assassinate him, and Harvey was very curious about where Arold was going to take him?
Arold looked at the anxious Harvey, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, he drove his horse to follow, they rode their horses to avoid the babbling stream, the sound of the horse's hooves trampling the stream, breaking the calm of the forest, after crossing the stream through the woods, Harvey saw that there seemed to be some buildings in a mountain stream, she couldn't help but stop.
"Here we are." Arrod behind him sighed and said, there was a complicated look in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"What the hell is this?" Harvey finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"An abandoned iron smelting mine." Arold jumped off his horse, and he led his mount slowly, and Harvey quickly jumped off his horse to follow, and the two of them walked into the iron-smelting field that was no longer inhabited.
In the Middle Ages, people had a great demand for iron, the chain mail of the noble knights needed to make iron into rings, and then weaved into chain mail, the swords on the waist needed to be formed with fine iron in the hammering of skilled blacksmiths, and the daily tools of the commoners also needed iron, and Europa, which was frequently warned, had the richest iron ore resources, so as long as there were iron ore deposits, this kind of small iron-making workshop would be built, which was very simple but because the iron ore contained few impurities were enough to use, However, it seems that the iron ore here has either been excavated or abandoned because the iron ore deposits are too deep and the technology is not up to it.
"Arrod, what are you going to do?" Harvey watched Arold walk to a furnace that was about to collapse on the rock, Arold threw away the reins of the horse in his hand, and climbed up the rock with his hands and feet excited, he used his hands to remove the debris piled up in front of the furnace, pried open the low door of the furnace sealed with a few nails, and then bent down and got in, Harvey was worried about Arold's safety and hurriedly followed.
"Phew, phew, it's here." Araud, who had gotten into the furnace, raised his head and looked at the darkness on the walls of the furnace, he stretched out his left hand with leather gloves and wiped it on the walls of the furnace, and then looked carefully at the leather gloves with the faint light above his head, there was something slightly shining on the gloves, and he smiled excitedly when he saw that he had found a vault.
"What the hell are you doing, Arrod?" Harvey, who was following behind Arold, also came in at this time, and she couldn't help but shudder as she looked at the hollow furnace inside.
"Did you bring a dagger, give it to me." A smile appeared on Arold's lips, and he reached out to Harvey to ask for her dagger that would not leave her body for a moment, and then Arold pressed her whole body against the wall of the furnace, scraping something with the dagger as if she was enchanted.
