"It's a shame." Gordon looked at the Tevelyn Assassin lying in a pool of blood.

"Brother, although I admit that she is in good shape, you don't have to pity the jade all the time......" Xie Ona compared the dead assassin's chest to her own chest, and a trace of frustration arose in her heart.

"Little girl, where do you want to go......" Gordon knocked Xie Ona's forehead, crying and laughing, "This female assassin is very strong, and she is a special race like Tevelin, I think she may have a great background, and I want to try to capture her alive to see if I can torture anything." ”

Xie Ona lowered her voice: "I thought brother, since Shellaiya left, there was no woman by your side, and you felt lonely......

"Do I really look that?" Gordon said secretly. In fact, after he came to this world, he only had a substantive relationship with three women. Two of them are still dewy lovers, and only Shellae is a more formal girlfriend, or "qingren".

Compared to the atmosphere of the aristocratic class in which he lived, he was already very clean.

Xie Ona's swordsmanship is now more and more perfect, fast and sharp. It's just that her swordsmanship is inherited from her father's military martial arts, and it is mainly tempered on the battlefield of Gaoyan City, so she looks murderous, and she goes straight to the point as soon as she makes a move, and she is a little not enough to be free to retract.

Just now, she shot to kill the female assassin of Tauffling, but it was too fast, and Gordon had just stopped it when the Adamantite Sword had already pierced the opponent's chest.

But let's kill it, it's not a big deal.

Gordon had the body of the female assassin disposed of. Because this room was a mess from the fight just now. So he arranged another place for Sigrid and Ji'er.

After dealing with the follow-up, Gordon began to implement his counterattack plan.

The twin siblings unexpectedly set the real target as Gordon. Let him scramble. Then, in the fine tradition of reciprocal exchanges, Gordon also has to give back a little gift.

In the dark of night, the castle courtyard was lit up as bright as day by countless torches. With their blood-dripping weapons, the Redstone Guards temporarily detain the undead attackers and wait to be dealt with. After Gordon arrived, Hernandez, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee with a look of shame.

"Your Excellency. This time it was my refreshment in not finding out the true plans of the Aldrich family. ”

After cleaning up all the attackers, Hernandez was in a good mood. With his intelligence, the lord was able to easily defuse the attack, which convinced Hernandez that his stepping stone was a successful step and that he should be able to gain a foothold in the Freeman family in the future.

Who knew that he had just collected all the captives when he heard the news that Gordon had been attacked in his room. Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Nervously waiting for Gordon to appear, he immediately stepped forward to plead guilty.

If the lord only blames himself for his dereliction of duty, that's fine. But if the young Earl of Hyven suspected that he had taken refuge in a false order, and that he was actually trying to make an internal response to the Aldrich family, it would be troublesome.

Gordon looked at Hernandez, who looked uneasy, and even had a cold sweat on his forehead. Waving his hand, he said, "Get up, I believe in you." ”

Although he said so, what Gordon really believed was himself. He believed that his spells could not be wrong, and that Hernandez was truly willing to betray the Aldrich family. Take refuge in yourself.

"I won't say much else, you can take a look. I don't know this woman. Gordon said to Hernandez.

Two guards carried the Tyflin Assassin, who had torn off her scarf, into the courtyard.

Hernandez carefully looked at the other party's delicate face, shook his head and said, "I've never seen it." I can assure you that there was no such woman working for the Aldrich family before I left Blackiron City. ”

Gordon described in detail the strength and fighting characteristics of the female Tevling Assassin, and said to Hernandez: "If you think about it carefully, maybe she has been staying in the Aldrich family in a disguised state. ”

The arcane shadow thief dug through the memories in his mind, but still shook his head: "No." According to you, this female assassin is very strong, even stronger than the already dead Royancest. And that cavalry captain has always been the strongest warrior in the Aldrich family. I'm afraid that no one except the King of Hyperven himself has the strength of this Teflin woman. ”

Gordon asked the captives to come up one by one to confirm the identity of the female assassin, but no one knew her. Because Gordon had applied a lie detector to himself, he knew that the captives were telling the truth.

"It seems that this female Tevling assassin is the Aldrich family...... No, to be precise, it was the foreign aid that Hensel and Grida siblings found temporarily. Gordon said in a deep voice.

"Hernandez, you've done a good job this time, let's take office tomorrow."

Hearing Gordon's words, Hernandez was stunned for a moment. This time he made such a big mistake and deserved to be punished, who knew that this lord didn't take it seriously and ignored it directly? ”

Gordon patted Hernandez on the shoulder: "My security officer, if any of those captives just now recognized the identity of the female assassin of Tevelin, it means that she is someone who used to stay in the Aldrich family, and it is a serious dereliction of duty to not show up with your intelligence network, and I will definitely punish you." However, since this woman is an outsider who appeared not long ago, it is out of your power to find out her identity. Naturally, I don't blame you for the fault. After all, the hand played by the twin siblings this time was indeed unexpected. Unfortunately, though, the thugs they found were still a little too weak, and they just caused some trouble. ”

In fact, Hernandez understood that if he encountered such an assassin today, if he were replaced by other nobles, he would immediately ignore it and punish a group of subordinates first. There are probably very few aristocrats like Gordon who are willing to calmly analyze the problem.

Compared with that kind of interest, he rewarded his subordinates without asking the reason. When he is angry, he rebukes his subordinates vigorously, and acts according to his personal likes and dislikes. Hernandez clearly preferred to work for a lord like Gordon, who always remained sane and objective.

After settling the matter of the female Assassin of Tevlin, Gordon took Hernandez to the place where Master Simon was being held.

The heavyweight of the King of Hywen has been honest lately, complaining from time to time that his food is too poor and the portions are too small. Although his IQ is problematic, he at least knows where he is now.

When he saw Gordon coming in, he immediately snorted and shouted, "I'm so hungry, do you have a supper?" ”

But after seeing Hernandez behind Gordon. Young Master Roshan was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile: "Mr. Hernandez, why are you here?" Is my father finally going to take me back? ”

As a perennial member of the Ferreton aristocracy, Hernandez knew many of the Empire's high society ways to eat, drink, and be merry. When he was in the Aldrich family before, he often used these to make Simon happy, and he won the favor of the eldest young master.

But now, Simon is here. The Mr. Hernandez, who was always looking at him with a smile on his face, was gone. In his place, there was another man with a dagger in his hand and a gloomy face.

He could barely recognize Hernandez's expression.

The latter looked at Young Master Roshan and sighed secretly in his heart: "If this knife goes down, it will completely break with the Aldrich family." He completely offended Abel as well. ”

sighed about his past. Hernandez gritted his teeth, walked forward quickly, and with a wave of cold light in his hand, he cut off Zigan's left ear.

As a good thief, Hernandez was naturally very skilled in using daggers. This knife goes down. It's neat and clean, and there is no sense of mud and water. So much so that Simon was stunned for a while. I felt a sharp pain in my ears.

Fat as a pig Simon. Master Aldrich, naturally, screamed like a fat pig. Lady Dinah walked in and used her magic to stop the bleeding. It wasn't until the pain of the wound ceased to be so intense and began to scar that Simon recovered from his state of howling in pain and rolling on the ground.

"My lord, I'll go first." Lady Dinah saluted.

In the past, because of the regular check-up on Simon's physical condition, Lady Dinah also came to meet him a few times. She was so disgusted by Simon that she was always exploring her body with an unabashedly greedy gaze that she couldn't even stay in the room for a second longer.

Gordon encapsulated his bloody ear and a written letter into a metal box, and ordered it to be handed over to the King of Hyperven. The other party will definitely be furious when he knows about this attack that is not under his control, and his son loses an ear. And because Gordon had Simon's life in his hands, Mr. Abel did not dare to take his anger out on him, and could only teach his twin daughters a lesson.

In fact, Hensel and Greda's plan for this attack was very well calculated.

If the main purpose of assassinating Gordon is achieved, then now that the biggest enemy of the Aldrich family is gone, and Simon can be rescued, the two who have made great achievements will definitely have a great increase in their power and status in the family.

Even if the assassination of Gordon fails, the result is good as long as their secondary objective is accomplished. If Simon dies in the chaos, the siblings will be the sole heirs of House Aldrich. When the time comes, even if Abel . . . No matter how angry Aldrich is, he won't do anything to the two siblings.

Not to mention the clichΓ© "tiger poison does not eat children". Abel. Aldrich was a man with ambitions to build a nation and become king. He must have known that a kingdom must have an heir in order to be able to settle and unite people.

However, it is a pity that the two goals of Hensel and Greda were not achieved.

Hernandez silently wiped the bloodstained dagger clean and put it back on his waist. He saw Simon staring at him with great resentment, and knew that he had now completely offended the King of Hyven. But it doesn't matter, anyway, he has decided to serve the new lord wholeheartedly, so it is not a big deal to offend his previous employer. And in this way, it can also make Gordon more reassured.

It was also out of consideration to gain Gordon's trust that Hernandez took the initiative to take the task of removing the ears of Master Simon.

The next morning, Gordon's things were placed in Able. Aldrich's desk. After he saw the bloody ear. My heart jumped violently, and a sense of foreboding swelled up. After reading Gordon's letter to him. The enraged King of Hyperven slammed his desk with another slap.

In the letter, Gordon accused Abel of going back on his word, refusing to deliver supplies to redeem his son, and instead resorting to despicable methods and attacking the castle, causing heavy losses. Finally, as a warning, one of Simon's ears was cut off and stated. If the agreement is violated, then his precious son will be unloaded into tiny parts and sent back.

"This damn Gordon. Freeman! How did he become a nobleman? "Able. Aldrich scolded. When he was a pirate in the past, he also did a lot of kidnapping. Naturally, he is familiar with this method of using the body of the abductee to intimidate his family. He just didn't expect that a young Imperial Earl would actually use such a threatening method without any aristocratic demeanor.

But it can also be seen from this that Gordon is serious.

"Someone! Let Hensel and Grida come and see me! Abel shouted.

He recalled the unusual manpower transfer in the family a few days ago, and immediately attacked this time without his knowledge. Got in touch with the twin siblings.

"Humph! Those two little cubs, so self-assertive, could never be out because they cared about their imprisoned eldest brother. I'm going to make them pay for their audacity! The King of Hyperven's fist clenched.

However, he soon received a report from his subordinates, saying that Young Master Hensel and Miss Grida had left Black Iron City yesterday. I don't know where it went.

Abel. Aldrich suddenly felt a pang of distraction, and his face became more gloomy.

The damage caused by Gordon last time has not yet recovered, and now that his two children have ulterior motives, he feels more and more troublesome. But for now, it can only temporarily appease Gordon. Make sure Symon is safe before you make a decision.

The King of Hyven continues to execute the deal with Gordon. And after this incident. In order not to have any more accidents, he hastened the collection of supplies, and finally delivered all the things that Gordon asked for to the pass of the Isthmus of Cork three days later.

The King of Hyven personally escorted supplies to the Isthmus of Cork, and saw a brand-new military fortress in the distance, which held the entire isthmus and blocked his way south.

"They are also mages, why are my two children so useless!"

The King of Haiwen looked at the pass, and his heart was mixed. Such a military facility, with the military strength in its own hands, even if the elite cavalry team is still there, it is almost impossible to conquer unless a large siege machine is created. Although he hated Gordon very much, he also had to admire the methods of this Count of Hyven in his heart.

Abel. Aldrich forgot that not long ago, he praised Hensel and Grida every day as rare geniuses of spell casting, the pride and hope of the Aldrich family.

The change in his mentality can only be explained by "people have to die more than people". The sons and daughters who once made the King of Hyven proud were much worse than Gordon.

Fortunately, the only consolation to the King of Hywen was that although the pass blocking his southward passage was strong, as long as the fleet returned, his army could easily bypass it and attack the undefended places behind Gordon.

"Gordon is still a little younger after all. The pass, which he had spent so much effort building, would soon become a useless ornament. ”

Today, the King of Hyperven personally escorted the last batch of goods, and of course Gordon could not be rude, and personally escorted the precious heavyweight goods, that is, the young master Simon, who was already missing an ear, to the Isthmus of Cork.

Both sides were very wary, but they were separated from each other and began to deliver to each other.

"Able. Mr. Aldrich, as you wish, I have sent your son intact. Gordon shouted at the other side with a amplification.

"Humph! Intact doesn't have to be! The King of Hyven snorted coldly. Although he doesn't know spells, he is powerful, and his voice is naturally loud, enough for Gordon to hear in the distance.

He looked at Simon's face with one ear missing, and his heart was still haunted.

"Father ......" Simon stands in Γ‰bel. Aldrich was in front of his horse, howling and crying.

Looking at his son, the king of Haiwen, who had experienced the bloody storms of pirates, couldn't help but feel sad at this time. He sighed and said, "Don't cry, I'll talk about it when I get home." ”

Although his brain was a little expensive, Young Master Simon was still very obedient to his father's words, and immediately wiped a handful of tears and kept silent.

It is precisely because of this well-behaved appearance in front of his father that he can be doted on by the King of Hyven, so that both Hensel and Grida feel that their status is threatened by a retarded mind.

So, maybe the young master Simon is wise and foolish.

The two sides are now in a state of hostility, and now that the son is in hand, the king of Hyven is not ready to talk nonsense with Gordon. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was heavily guarded, he would have wanted to directly riot and kill that mage on the spot, once and for all.

However, Gordon seems to be reluctant to give up the "friendship" of the two people, and before parting, he gave additional gifts.

"Are you...... Larry? Looking at the skinny beast man in front of him, the King of Hyven asked. He had the impression that this little man was in Black Iron City and was responsible for receiving Gordon and his party. He thought that in the chaos that followed, he had died at the hands of Gordon, but he didn't expect to be alive.

"Honorable King of Hyperven." Gordon said, "When you get back, ask Master Simon and Larry." They know some secrets about Hensel and Greda, and you should be interested. ”

Gordon believed that the hidden danger he had planted for the Aldrich family would soon sprout and blossom.
