Chapter 68: The Mole
"Coyote" Kosol had just finished his training, and he avoided his fellow soldiers and quietly made his way to the smelting plant.
The heat in the furnace dispelled the chill from his body, and the craftsmen were concentrating on grinding parts with steel tongs in front of a rapidly rotating machine, and on the right side of the furnace were neatly placed more than twenty macaroni steel pipes, which he knew at a glance were the essential materials for the manufacture of the "flintlock spear".
Due to the heavy manufacturing tasks, the soldiers would be assigned by Payne to help the craftsmen in the smelt after the training, but today Kosol arrived in the factory before the soldiers arrived.
"After finishing today's work, I'm going back to the Imperial City. Kosol prayed silently in his heart: "Don't make any stubble." ”
Although Lord Bran's order was to keep himself lurking by Rand's side, he couldn't stand the harsh environment of the air crossing and the dangers that could happen at any time, and just today, he saw one of his companions had his throat ripped open by the mad Red Hawk, and the blood spilled on his face, and he still felt his legs go limp.
As a spy, Kosol felt that he had done enough, and when Rand had just developed the ballista, he risked being discovered by contacting Marco, who was on duty, to sneak into the drawing room and steal the blueprints of the ballista, and quickly gave them to Bran.
He knew the importance of this new weapon, and he did not hesitate to kill his partner's Marco in order to keep it a secret, but who knew that the stupid knight actually hid a hand, and a large number of companions lurking around Rand were found and executed or sent to the battlefield to become cannon fodder, and he was the only one who survived.
Since that day, Kosol has lived every day in fear, for fear that one day Payne will break into the door with soldiers and tie him to the execution ground, and even at night he does not dare to let himself fall into a deep sleep, and he will be awakened countless times every night, only to find that his body has already been wet with sweat.
He felt like he was going to collapse.
This hellish place must be escaped!
He wrote to Bran begging him to withdraw from the empty ferry, but he was disappointed by the reply.
Bran disagreed with Kosol's request.
In desperation, Kosol made another shocking discovery, that demon seed, a demon seed that can use flames, did not escape at all, he lived in the palace of Rand!
Lord Kongdu, the son of Winton Capet, is secretly raising demon seeds!
Kosol's mouth was dry, and although the demon seed's form had changed somewhat, how could he, as the one who had shackled Oak with his own hands, not recognize Oak's face?
"That's the cursed devil! Rand will take the entire Empty Collar to hell. "Kosol has recently witnessed the birth of various extraordinary machines, but now that I think about it, it must be the manifestation of the power of the devil in the world.
"The roaring machinery, the sniping of the beast's fire, that is the power given by the devil, Rand has been corrupted by the devil, he has become the embodiment of the devil!" Kosol trembled nervously, he was more afraid of this unknown evil force than the gallows, and he heard that people who have been corrupted by the devil for a long time will also be infected with the breath of the devil.
When Kosol reported this important information to Bran, Bran responded quickly, asking Kosol to find out the secrets of the machinery, and if he completed the mission, he could return to the Imperial City and receive a rich reward and official position.
"It's all the power of the devil, how can I explore its secrets?" Kosol wandered around Rand's palace for a long time, hoping for an opportunity to sneak into the drawing room like last time, and after fooling the patrol soldiers in the name of public office, Kosol found that things were going far more smoothly than he thought.
The drawings were scattered on the table, as if they hadn't been cleaned up yet, and the door to the drawing room was not locked.
It seems that he has not learned the lesson of the last time, Corso thought to himself, and he quickly stuffed the drawings into his package and took it back to his residence.
The mechanical drawings are detailed, but they don't have the black* way of making them.
"Just steal some of these powders, and I'm sure Master Bran will give me more rewards. "Kosol decided to take a risk, and in the factory where *the pipe was, he secretly took a sawn short pipe in his arms and walked to the room where he was saving*.
"Coyote, it's so early today!" the craftsman on the side greeted him.
For his own purposes, Kosol often offered to help in the smelter, so he was very familiar with the craftsmen and was not wary of him.
"Well, my lord asked me to come over and see how the barrel is being made. Kosor nodded absentmindedly and asked, "There is no fuel at the fortress wall, so my lord asked me to bring a few bags of material over." ”
The fuel in Kosol's words is *, and the storage conditions are harsh, it must be in a dry environment, and it needs to be dehumidified regularly, so Rand has set up a separate compartment next to the workshop, away from the fire.
"Take the key and go get it yourself. The craftsman at the head wiped the hot sweat from his head, put a polished barrel in his hand, and sighed: "Your Excellency, Lord Lord, really has a lot of wonderful ideas, you see, this thing really saves us a lot of effort." ”
"What a bunch of hillbillies who don't know whether to live or die, this is the power of the devil! You still use it so handily that when your soul is completely corrupted, you will know that you will regret it!" Corso cursed inwardly, but still echoed on the surface: "Yes, yes, this is a great invention. ”
"The lord has brought us a lot of convenience, and has improved our treatment a lot, so that even the people in the slums don't have to worry about not having food," the leader of the craftsmen said as if unintentionally, "If even this kind of lord betrays, then I think his brain is really broken." ”
"Gollum ......" The weak-hearted Kosol swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a blue face: "Yes, yes!"
I don't know if it's because he has a ghost in his heart, Kosol always felt that the craftsman meant something, but he shook his head violently, shook all the distractions in his mind, tried to make himself act normal, took off the key on the wall and turned away.
The leader of the artisans sighed as he looked at Kosol's back in the distance.
"Looks like I guessed right. ”
The voice came from behind the furnace, and Rand's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"It was in vain that I had to put so much effort into a trap to catch this cunning mouse. ”
