Chapter 521: The Longest Night (2)
Inside the fortress, the castle lord's estate.
Greelock died in battle, and the highest user of the manor automatically became Rollin, and there was a stone house painted with red oil paint on the outside of the manor, named after the shape.
The basement of the stone house is the interrogation room.
Rollin arrived with Brighton, the guard, and a few of his guards, and when he saw the Assassin who had been captured, he asked the interrogator on the side, "Did you find out whose person it was?" ”
"Young Master, it's the people of Griman's command." The interrogator respectfully said that this man had been doing this kind of shady work for a long time, and his body was full of gloomy aura, and when he spoke, his voice seemed cold.
"Griman?" Rollin looked at the Assassin, who had been tortured and half-dead, and the Assassin immediately nodded and said weakly, "Yes, it's Griman, he asked me to come." ”
Griman is one of the three leaders of the fortress, and his status is very high, and if he wants to betray, the castle will definitely be ruined.
However, Rollin had reservations about the Assassin's answer, for the simple reason that the Assassin had intended to commit suicide before, and was obviously a dead man, and the name he revealed at this time was most likely a means used by the master behind him to attack his opponents. If he is gullible, he will definitely pay a huge price.
However, Rollin did not show this consideration on the surface, his physical body was only ten years old, and there was still a lot of childishness on his face, and at this time this face showed extreme anger, and he said hatefully: "Griman, you damn fellow, you betrayed me!" I'm going to see if you can survive tonight! ”
As he spoke, Rollin kept his eye on the Assassin out of the corner of his eye, and he saw him say that. The assassin breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that some task has been accomplished. The strength that had always been tense on the whole person became relaxed.
Rollin's observation is very strong, especially after he became a god, observation has become an instinct, although this body has the limit of strength, this ability is still far beyond ordinary people.
Seeing this subtle change in the Assassin, he immediately turned around, took the interrogator's whip in his hand, and whipped it towards the Assassin with all his might.
'Smack! There was a bang on the ground. The assassin's body was splashed with blood, and he couldn't help screaming, and then Rollin stepped forward, reached out and pinched the assassin's chin tightly, looked directly into the other party's eyes, and sneered: "It's not Griman, right?" Well! ”
The sudden change made the Assassin defensive, and although he did not say anything, his pupils contracted sharply, giving him a look of horror. Apparently guessed by Rollin.
"Don't worry. I won't ask you the answer again because I don't trust you. Rollin didn't give the Assassin a chance to continue spreading rumors. He let go of his hand and said to the interrogator, "Look at him, don't let him die." ”
"Yes, Castle Master." The interrogator changed his name with amusement.
"Let's go." Rollin turned and left the dark place that smelled of blood. There are no useful clues to be given to him here. In fact, the only thing the assassin did alive was to make the vipers in the darkness fearful.
There are three major commanders in Bluestone Castle, which are Griman, Dante, and Hofst.
The three had different duties, with Griman in charge of fort defense, Dante in charge of the territory patrol, and Hofst in charge of the most elite troops, following the lord of the castle to drive out invaders, such as the nearest wolf castle.
In the past ten years, although Rollin is a young son with little status, he has not done nothing, in addition to practicing his marksmanship and accumulating loyal subordinates, the biggest thing is to observe the core members of the Blue Stone Castle.
He was now sure that there was no problem with the three Commanders, they were all loyal.
What the poisonous snake behind the scenes wants to do is nothing more than to provoke the relationship between him and the commander of the troops, cut off his right-hand man, and make him abandon his martial arts.
This abacus is very good, if it is placed when his suspicious third brother Greloc first takes office, it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble.
But he wasn't Greerock.
Out of the Red Stone House, Rollin called out to one of the guards, "Pass my orders to the three Commanders, and tell them to meet me in the Lion Hall." ”
At this critical juncture, he must appease these commanders and not let people sow discord. Because no matter how loyal a person is, when it comes to his core interests, he will also choose to protect himself.
"Yes, Castle Master!" The guards will be commanded to leave.
"Wait!" Rollin shouted to the guards at the end: "Come back!" It doesn't have to go. ”
Because of the influence of the Lord of Darkness, anything can go wrong, and letting this guard pass on his life may make the Commanders realize that something is wrong, and that is to force them to rebel.
At this time, it is better to be quiet than to move, small moves and small mistakes, big mistakes, maybe in the end he will collapse his own territory.
Luo Lin pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Let's go, let's go back to the manor." ”
He believes that at this moment, the three commanders have eyeliner arranged in the manor, and his every move will be monitored, and if he returns to the manor and does not move any soldiers, it will not trigger their sensitive nerves, so no matter how anyone provokes, it is unlikely that something will happen.
Upon returning to the manor, Rollin waited patiently in the bedroom where he had been a child.
The manager has already returned to the manor, but his other guard, Nolan, has not returned yet, he must have discovered something, whether he can find out a new clue about the poisonous snake behind the scenes, it is on Nolan.
Nolan didn't let Rollin wait long, and at about six o'clock in the afternoon, he returned, and when he arrived at Rollin's room, he whispered his findings: "Fort master, there is a problem with the tailor shop in the fort. The person I followed ended up disappearing into this tailor's shop. I looked from afar, and saw that their shopkeepers, while seemingly normal, were communicating something with a gesture that resembled a code word. ”
"A tailor shop?" Rollin's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, he knew that this tailor shop was very good, and the clothes of the officials and wealthy merchants in the fortress were made to order in this shop, and even his clothes were made from the works of the big tailors of this shop.
Because of this, the tailors of this shop have the freedom to enter the homes of the major dignitaries, because they want to measure people's bodies, and Luo Lin is terrified. It's been a long time. Do these tailors have a clear idea of the upper class inside the fortress?
What's even more terrifying. Rollin still remembers that before he went to the shooting range, a tailor in the tailor's shop had just measured his body, and he knew that he went to the shooting range.
Rollin was almost sure what the problem was, he thought for a moment and said, "Go, call Brighton, and you two will go with me to Commander Griman!" ”
"Fort Master. Wouldn't there be too few people, in case Commander Griman had any ideas," Nolan tactfully advised.
"If you bring too much, you will have problems. Let's go quietly! Rollin patted his revolver: "I think my marksmanship should be able to handle some accidents." ”
Nolan, of course, knew the marksmanship of this young over-the-top castle master, and he was a little relieved and stopped persuading.
Soon, the three of them set off from the back door of the manor and headed towards the camp of the Guardians led by Griman
Escort camp.
By now, the Lord of Grimlockburg had been killed in battle for more than three hours, and for more than three hours, the fortress of Bluestone had been calm and peaceful, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
But calm is just an atmosphere that ordinary people feel. For Commander Griman, many things had happened in the past three hours or so.
One of the most terrifying things was that the guards reported to him that an assassin had assassinated Master Vilandu on the high walls of the fortress. As a result, the Assassin was caught red-handed, captured alive, and taken into the redstone house in the castle lord's manor.
You know, he is in charge of the internal defense of the fortress, and now there is an assassin, and the assassin is the future castle owner, and he is the most responsible, which is a serious dereliction of duty.
As the minutes ticked by, there was no movement in the fortress, which made him feel a little reassured, but at the same time he felt a great pressure.
He had secretly decided in his heart that if there was any movement from the guards in the manor, there was a good chance that it would come at him. In this kind of alternation of the old and new castle owners, the new castle owners may choose to kill people to vent their anger on impulse.
If the Lord of the New Castle had been older, he would not have such concerns, but he was only ten years old, what could he understand?
He had to deal with it just in case, and he had to deal with it, and although the former lord of the castle, Gleelock, was not bad to himself, he had his own family, and he had to think about the future of the family.
So what to do?
Griman already had an answer in his mind, he was just a captain of the Guards, and he couldn't fight the Guards. He himself has no ambitions, he just wants everything to be safe. But he still has some die-hard loyalists, and he really broke the net, and he brought one or two airships to join the wolf castle without any problem at all.
Just now, his deputy Govin had advised him to prepare early, because Master Verando had been seen entering the Redstone Room, and it was obvious that this must be something important from the Assassins in the Redstone Room.
"What could it be?" Griman didn't know, he was in a hurry.
Just when he was about to be overwhelmed by this invisible pressure, a guard suddenly came to report: "Commander, the castle master is here." ”
"Castle Master? Which castle owner? "Griman didn't react at once, isn't the castle lord dead?
"It's Lord of Fort Wilando." The guards said that although there was no official succession ceremony, all the soldiers had already tacitly accepted that Verando was the master, as he was the only surviving son of the great Marshal Thales.
Although it is not clear whether Verando is a posthumous son, no one doubts this, because Verando's appearance is seven or eight points similar to that of the deceased Marshal Thales, and there is no doubt at all.
It was also because of the aftermath of Field Marshal Thales that Gleman could not have any thoughts, because most of his soldiers were loyal to Marshal Thales, and he could only get a small number of people to join him at most.
"He brought the troops?" Griman stood up suddenly, his face pale.
"No, I brought two guards." Guards said.
"Huh? Okay, quick, welcome! Griman immediately felt the pressure in his heart dissipate.
There were only three people, which showed that Verando had no intention of embarrassing him, and that the assassination was only a reprimand, and perhaps some punishment, but it was the punishment that should be given. He did make a mistake, and he confessed. (To be continued......)
