Chapter 30: Karlan's Invitation
On the second floor of the Niclair family's dungeon, Kate dutifully guarded the large iron door in the deepest part, and it had been more than an hour since Luo Yun entered this cell, but there was no sign of him coming out yet.
The sound insulation of this cell is excellent, even if someone in the house makes a noise about the upper room and untiles will not come out, which makes Kate a little worried, although Sanders was suppressed by those big iron piers, but what if he has any ghost tricks, he patted his slippery head fiercely, Kate secretly scolded himself for being stupid, how could he rest assured that Luo Yun and Sanders, a jackal, had been alone for so long.
And just when Kate was about to be scolded by Luo Yun and wanted to open the iron door to go in and check, the inverted triangle magic array on the iron door flashed slightly, and a signal came from inside asking to open the door.
Kate's mood suddenly relaxed, and her arm had pushed open the heavy iron door with a slight force.
Behind the iron gate, Luo Yun looked no different from when he entered before, except that his face was slightly pale, and his eyes were a little colder, but when Kate looked at the short sword that was still dripping blood in his hand, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Viscount, who are you?" ”
"Oh, this one." The coldness on Luo Yun's face dissipated, and he held the short sword a few times and said with a shallow smile: "Sanders has been executed by me." ”
"Huh?" Kate was shocked, Luo Yun had no opinion on the execution of Sanders, but before that, should he torture first, at least ask the identity of the person behind the scenes.
"He's pretty much already said what he knows, and there's no need to keep him anymore."
Luo Yun seemed to know what he was thinking, and casually put the beautiful short sword that was still stained with blood back into the space bag.
Kate felt that her head was a little big, how could a cunning guy like Sanders casually confide the truth if he wasn't tortured, Luo Yun wouldn't have been deceived by him.
Ignoring Kate's stunned face, Luo Yun thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Find someone to bury Sanders secretly, and release his family, tell them that Sanders has been exiled by me, believe it or not, just let them be, and find a few trustworthy brothers to keep an eye on their family, as long as they live in Baishan Town with peace of mind, Sanders's two younger brothers don't have any bad thoughts, so don't pay attention to them." ”
Seeing Kate nodding dryly, Luo Yun smiled lightly and asked, "What happened to Andrew Knight?" ”
Kate smiled and said: "Just now the teacher sent someone to spread the news that he had taken his brothers to attack Sanders's manor, Sanders only left a few servants on duty there, and they occupied that place without any hindrance, and now Sanders's property has been seized by us all these years, but you were still interrogating Sanders at that time, so I asked the messenger to go back and rest first." ”
Seeing Luo Yun nodding in satisfaction, Kate's smile became even stronger, and she said with some sighs: "This time, thanks to the person who used the bow and arrow to send us a message, otherwise I am afraid that this time it would really have allowed Sanders's family to escape." My lord, do you know why they are helping us because you know them? ”
"Help us?" Luo Yun shook his head slightly: "They are not helping us, they just want to help the winner." ”
Seeing that Kate was a little puzzled, Luo Yun explained softly while walking outside the dungeon: "The previous letter informing us that Sanders would raid the manor in the second half of the night can be seen as a help to us, but after that, the whereabouts of the Sanders people should be their spies who sent back the news of our victory, and they provided it to us in order to sell their favors, and if we are defeated, you escort me to escape, and our escape route should also appear in Sanders's hands on time, and they will always be on the side of the victors, But in any case, we always have to write down this favor. ”
There was a look of astonishment on her honest face, and Kate said a little unhappily: "So that's the case, I thought they were good people." ”
"Of course they are good people, they have what they want from me, and I also have what they want from them, and this kind of pure interest relationship formed by taking what they need is sometimes more solid." Luo Yun looked at Kate, who was still confused, and gave up the idea of explaining clearly to him, and walked silently in front of him alone.
Seeing that Luo Yun had no interest in speaking, Kate had no choice but to touch her head and follow behind Luo Yun with her head stalked.
After Kate quieted down, Retsuki's voice quietly sounded in her head: "How does it feel to kill someone for the first time?" ”
"I didn't feel anything, I was a little nauseous when I first started it, but then it got better." Luo Yun thought for a moment and responded in his mind: "I just avenged Duran's kid, after all, he was indeed a little miserable by Sanders." ”
Retsuki seemed to be a little sympathetic for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Then what do you think of the information you got from Sanders?" ”
Luo Yun, who was walking in front, narrowed his eyes and responded: "There should be no problem with the credibility of his words, I can't find a reason for him to deceive me." ”
Sanders, who had been deceived by Lian and had completely dashed hopes, knew almost everything about Luo Yun's problems, and he and the big man behind him were only in a similar relationship to hire and be hired, and they were not guilty of keeping secrets for him.
However, after he revealed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, Luo Yun did feel a little pressure.
"Marquis de Sade......"
As a vassal state directly under the Teutonic Empire, the Duchy Watson has the power to canonize all the nobles under the duke, and in the Duchy of Watson, which has a history of nearly 1,000 years, only the three families who have followed the original Archduke Watson and made great contributions to the establishment of the country have been awarded the title of hereditary marquis, and the Sade family is one of them.
Rooted in the central part of the province of Lorraine, which is adjacent to the province of Duis, the Saad family is usually low-key and introverted, although it is not famous, but it has almost the power to call the wind and rain in the province of Lorraine, in a sense, it can even be said that in some areas of the province of Lorraine, the influence of the Sade family even overshadows the owner of the principality, the Watson family, and this time it is such a glorious and powerful family that wants to attack the Niclair family.
As for why such a behemoth wants to make a move against a small Niclair family, Sanders is also vague, but he is just the pawn of the Marquis of Sade, and it is not surprising that Luo Yun does not know the reason, and the only thing that makes him a little puzzled is why such a family wants to deal with him Why did they only send a swordsmith-level thief to take action, is it too big?
"It's unlikely, this Saad family has been passed down for so many years, at least I know the truth that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, with the strength of the Niclair family, sending three or five swordmaster-level powerhouses can steadily eat you, and it shouldn't be any pressure for them to send three or five swordmaster-level powerhouses, so why did this Marquis of Sade only secretly send that thief to attack?"
Liyue's cold voice made Luo Yun can't help but fall into deep thought, indeed, this big thief assassination sneak attack spy intelligence is a good hand, but the head-on confrontation is more than one grade weaker than the strong people of other professions of the same level, and it is difficult to take charge alone, why did this Marquis of Sade arrange for Sa Ying to preside over this operation to seize Viscount Niclair.
Luo Yun took the lead in the front, his eyes were cold, and Kate, who followed closely, seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and couldn't help but shrink her neck and say nothing, only the footsteps of two people in the dimly lit dungeon gradually spread along the corridor.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Luo Yun's eyes lit up, and he said to Lianyue: "If you want to say that the thief is stronger than other professions, that is, he can sneak to hide his existence, can it be said that although the Sade family is strong, those powerful warriors and mages under his command will inevitably be noticed by some people with intentions when they are dispatched, and this will greatly hinder the next move they will take after seizing the Viscount of Niclair, so in order to avoid these eyes, The Marquis of Sade chose the great thief Sakage to carry out this mission secretly, and at the same time smashed a large amount of money and precious treasures such as space bags, enchanted armor, etc., to support Sanders and Hagrid's Black Mountain bandit group, and cooperated with Sakage to destroy the Niclair family. ”
"You've finally thought of it, it's not easy......"
“……”
This guy is always like this, and he never says anything to make people happy.
"The situation is still very favorable to us now, although the Nasad family is strong, they can't deal with you unscrupulously, and the presence of Fukiyuki and Yubari is likely to make them mistakenly think that you have formed an alliance with a certain force, so if they still insist on attacking you, they must also think long-term, which will allow us to gain valuable development time."
Lianyue's light voice sounded, which made Luo Yun, who was a little depressed in his heart, nod.
What he lacks most now is time, the biosphere simulator has infinite potential, but it needs the support of massive energy, and people like Luo Yun, who do not have a strong industrial base as the backing, can only rely on Lianyue herself to slowly absorb the mysterious energy in the air, construction materials, development materials, repair materials, and even oil, bombs, steel, and aluminum, all kinds of resources need to be slowly restored, otherwise where does he need to swallow his anger, he would have already taken Yamato's sister to send the Marquis of Nasad's family to heaven with a 460mm sentient equality cannon.
It's just that it's useless to think too much now, the food has to be eaten bite by bite, and the resources have to be eaten little by little, now that Duran's revenge has been avenged, Luo Yun has also won valuable development time from the Marquis of Sade, what he has to do is to develop his town guard mansion as quickly as possible, Luo Yun believes that in the near future he will send a big surprise to the Marquis of Sade.
Gently pushing open the iron door of the dungeon, a cool morning breeze blew in his face, and the shining morning sun in the distant sky slowly rose to the horizon, illuminating a large area of dim sky, and the hopeful white light made Luo Yun, who had not slept all night, a little distracted.
In a trance, Luo Yun found a familiar deep black shadow under a black pine tree on the edge of the dungeon, Luo Yun was slightly stunned, then smiled lightly, took out the exquisite short sword that was still stained with Sanders' blood from the space bag, and threw it hard at the black pine tree next to the black shadow, the sharp short sword was nailed deep to the trunk, the black shadow seemed to be frightened, and he stretched out his finger to wipe the blood stains on the blade with some trembling, as if he knew the identity of the owner of the bloodstains, and the black shadow's miserable resentful look gradually dissipated, He bowed deeply to Luo Yun gratefully.
As the morning sun gradually rose, the sunlight pierced through the thin morning mist in the forest, illuminating the large pine forest in Niclaire's manor, and the black shadow saluted Luo Yun again, greeted the morning sun with a relieved smile on his face, and finally slowly dissipated into the first rays of morning light that illuminated the ancient manor.
Kate, who was behind her, saw Luo Yun suddenly stop moving, and asked with some puzzlement, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”
Shaking his head slightly, Luo Yun looked at the place where the black shadow finally dissipated a little distractedly, and then showed a smile: "It's nothing, just remembering a friend, a friend who is not close but is undoubtedly very familiar." ”
“……”
Just when Kate was stunned and thinking about when her lord would have a friend, on the path in the woods, Miss Elena was walking briskly, and when she saw Luo Yun, she looked relieved, and handed Luo Yun a letter with a complicated emblem in her hand and said, "Just now the Kallan family sent someone to deliver a letter, please go to the Kallan Chamber of Commerce this afternoon." ”
Luo Yun took the letter and let out a long breath lightly, the invitation of the Kallan family finally came.
