Chapter 319: Miro's Banquet
Looking at Eri's sworn appearance, Algert also had some faith in his heart, the things studied in this base are all the treasures of this kid, if he doesn't really have some skills, he probably won't let people in, especially a monkey.
Algert picked up the whip and looked at it carefully, although he didn't know anything about the forging of magic items, but he still had an eye, and the body of the whip knew at a glance that it was made of the skin of some kind of magical beast, and the runes depicted on it were extremely complex, and the additional effect was also very amazing.
Ari then explained: "This whip is enchanted with several layers of ancient magic, and there are many negative spells such as weakness, fear, and damage amplification, if you can learn these things from it, combined with your forging level, you are the number one blacksmith in the continent!"
When he heard the number one blacksmith in the mainland, Algery's eyes lit up instantly, Ari was not wrong about this, he had always wanted to find an assistant who was proficient in magic, but the people invited by Ari were more powerful than the other, and he couldn't look down on the poor level, until now, the magic department under his command had not developed, if the monkey that Ari said really had the level he said, it would be a good thing.
But despite this, Ari was not ready to agree to Ari easily, he coughed twice, his eyes drifted in front of Ari, and said casually: "There is one more research direction, should the funding be increased a little more appropriately......
Ari decisively agreed: "How much do you want?"
Aljet smashed it and smashed his mouth: "Let's come 500 million in the early stage, and then add it in the later stage." โ
"Huh. โ
"The 400 million?"
"Fifty million. โ
"Fifty million, isn't it a little less......"
"Don't forget it. โ
"Deal!"
......
After Arjet was done, the matter was completed, and the others didn't have the courage to go against his will, and when Ari went back to Hussere and told him the news, Hussere couldn't wait to start researching at that time?
"Brother Monkey, can these people of yours learn to speak?" Ari suddenly asked thoughtfully, looking at the golden-threaded monkeys scattered all over the mountains.
"It wasn't easy for me to get them to learn the human language, but it's not too difficult to just make them understand it, and it takes a little time to do it. โ
Ari's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Then please Brother Monkey, if they understand human language, I have a way to let them integrate into Atlanta City without being confined to no one." โ
Hussere thought for a moment, then turned around and agreed, "Then I'll give it a try." โ
In the next few days, everything seemed calm in Atlanta City, except for the academy people who were still actively doing tasks, and Count Mirรณ slowed down after scrutinizing a group of people and cutting off some people's heads, and for a while, Atlanta City seemed to return to its former appearance.
However, it is clear that these are all appearances, and when the two brothers arrive at the Duke's palace with someone secretly, the scheduled plan can finally be started.
Ari first had them take them to the mountains and settle down, and served them three meals a day, good wine and meat, and then after taking care of some business in the study, he had Jeff called over.
"Has Count Mirรณ held any banquets lately. โ
Jeff was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, although he didn't know why Ari suddenly asked this, he still replied honestly: "The atmosphere in the city has been tense recently, but no one has reported the banquet. โ
"Hmm. Ari nodded, then buried himself in the confusion of what he was writing, and after a long while, he looked up at Jeff and asked, "Didn't you find out last time that one of Miro's housekeepers had disappeared, and his family found it?"
Jeff nodded: "Found it, he also has a son, who is still in Milo's manor, I have found a way to convince him that his father died at the hands of Milo, and there is a way for him to identify Milo when needed." โ
"How is the garrison prepared, and how many people can be mobilized when it is time to start. โ
"About thirty percent of the officers in the garrison have been bribed by us, and if you want to do it, these people can be trusted. โ
Ari's brow furrowed, "So little?"
Jeff smiled bitterly: "This is already the limit that can be done without leaking the news, half of the remaining officers are the hardcore henchmen of the garrison commander Resec, and they can't be easily wooed, otherwise they will be easily exposed, and the rest are the children of some old nobles in the city. โ
"I see. Ari thought for a moment and continued, "You can find time to meet Count Miro in the past two days, and find a way to get him to invite us to a banquet, and try to arrange the time when our people are in charge of patrolling as little as possible. โ
"It's simple. Jeff breathed a sigh of relief and explained in Ari's puzzled eyes: "Now that the limelight has passed, Count Miro must also want to reconcile with us, and as long as I meet him the day before our men are in charge of patrolling, he will definitely invite the Duke to a banquet and express the goodwill of reconciliation." โ
Ari nodded: "Then let's arrange it like this, and I'll tell you the next step when the banquet time is decided." โ
It wasn't until Jeff left that Ari picked up what he had just written, and when he read through it from cover to cover, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
After reading it again, Ari said to himself with satisfaction: "It's written so miserable and angry, after Tolkien sees it, Miro will peel off his skin even if he doesn't die." โ
The letter is written in the voice of Gal, and the plot of the near-death at the banquet is narrated in the sad text, and even the punctuation marks are full of grievances.
However, Ari didn't immediately hand over the letter to Gal, the details are the key to success or failure, and now some plots haven't happened yet, and it's useless to write them, in case the handwriting expert sees something, the boat will capsize in the gutter.
Jeff was very efficient, and after only three days he got things done, and Mirรณ would invite all the nobles of the city to a banquet the next night, and the city would be patrolled by the garrison officers who had been secretly co-opted by them.
In the hall of the Duke's Palace, Gard withdrew all the servants and asked curiously: "Can you reveal the plan now, Jeff is about to die in a hurry these days, and there is not enough reason to move a city lord, it is not a wise choice." โ
Ari drank his tea and said leisurely: "There is no reason to create a reason, a person like Miro who is not clean in his own right, it is not easy to catch his handle." โ
"How do you grab the handle?" said Gal, puzzled even more.
Erile said hehehe: "You were attacked by barbarians in the City Lord's Mansion, is it a trick. โ
Gal looked at him suspiciously: "Why did the barbarians attack me, didn't you hook up with the barbarians." โ
"What is collusion, can you speak!" "Ari's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Because I let the barbarians attack you, as long as you are attacked by the barbarians in the City Lord's Mansion, Miro can't explain it even if he has a hundred mouths." โ
"How are the barbarians going to sneak into the castle, the city lord's mansion that day must be heavily guarded, and it is simply impossible to let the barbarians quietly infiltrate. โ
Ari sighed: "Even you know that it's not easy to get barbarians into it, and others must know about this problem too, so this time, it's not easy for Miro not to take the blame." โ
Gal asked a little anxiously: "How do you get in, don't sell it." โ
Ai Rui spread out his hand and said, "There is a tunnel under the City Lord's Mansion that leads directly to the study, and what I accidentally found before is now just right for use." โ
"I see, isn't Miro going to kneel this time?" said Garr with some excitement.
Ari glanced at him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, I'll leave the matter to Jeff to explain, you tell him first, after we enter the banquet, you let him lead people to ambush outside the City Lord's Mansion, and then listen to the signal to launch an attack on the City Lord's Mansion at any time and capture Count Miro alive." โ
Things went on in an orderly manner, and the time soon came into the evening.
When Ari and Gal's carriage arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the outside of the City Lord's Mansion was almost blocked, and all kinds of luxurious carriages were in an endless stream, and two teams of honor guards wore ceremonial uniforms to greet them at the door.
Mirรณ didn't want to make it so grand, even if Gal was a duke, he was only a half-grown child, and he basically lost the possibility of inheriting the throne, as long as his nephew grew up, he could completely ignore his existence.
However, thinking that this time the matter was quite big, and Tolkien was paying attention to it in the royal capital, it was not good to be too lazy at this time, first, to clarify the misunderstanding, and secondly, to let others see his atmospheric side.
After he saw the sign on the carriage that Ari and Gal were riding, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "The Duke has also arrived, please come quickly, everyone is still a family, and I invited the Duke here today to give the Duke an explanation for the last thing." โ
"Hmm. Gal nodded faintly and didn't speak, Ari had already told him to talk less before he came.
As for Eri on the side, he remained silent, since people ignored him, he didn't have to find a sense of existence, and he had nothing to talk about with a person who was about to fall.
"Why didn't Master Jeff come?" asked Count Mirรณ with a smile as he walked. Part of the reason why he put on such a big battle was also for the former chief of the guard, Jeff, but now that he didn't come, the effect was directly reduced by half.
"There are some things to attend to in the Duke's Palace, and it may take a little later to come over," said Garr. โ
"I see. Miro nodded, didn't speak, and led the two of them directly into the place where the banquet was held.
The number of people invited by Miro this time, the nobles of all sizes in Atlanta City were basically invited, and only the commander of the garrison, Resec, did not come because of his duties.
There are many people, and the banquet hall is naturally a little small, but as an earl, the people under his command can naturally arrange things properly, no, the garden in the backyard of the city lord's mansion is used to entertain guests.
At this time, in the garden of Nuoda, a long table of several meters has been set up, a white cloth flutters on the table, and a huge whale oil candle stands on it, which also emits a faint fragrance while illuminating, making the atmosphere more harmonious.
There were already many nobles in the garden who had arrived early, and they were standing in small circles laughing and chatting, and when they saw Miro coming with Gar and Ari, they all came up with a smile and greeted each other.
Gal was naturally familiar with this situation, greeted everyone one by one with a smile, and behaved very decently, which made Miro on the side feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ari took advantage of this time to break away from everyone's circle and wander around the garden alone, secretly inquiring about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion.
This is the first time he has come to the City Lord's Mansion, and the last time he went to the study through the underground tunnel, he didn't have the opportunity to leave the study, so he also saw many places for the first time.
But fortunately, there is still Leopold, a person who is familiar with the terrain.
Taking advantage of the waiter's inattention, Eri quietly found the study room last time in the main castle of the City Lord's Mansion.
Leopold had already been waiting in the tunnel with three barbarians, and when the predetermined code sounded outside, he immediately pushed open the bookshelf and walked out inside.
"It turns out that this tunnel really leads to the study, how did you find out!" Even though he had already heard what Ari had said in advance, Leopold couldn't help but be a little amazed when he saw this familiar environment.
Ari explained, "I stumbled upon it when I took the falcon into the city to dig a tunnel, but it was still your house at the time, and I didn't use this passage. โ
Leopold nodded: "I see, but I don't even know about this tunnel, and it's too powerful for you to find out, my father may know, but it's not suitable to tell him about today's events." โ
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the study, and Ari listened carefully for a while before realizing that the maid had accidentally knocked over the plate while serving it.
After making sure that there was no one, Ari turned around and waved his hand at them, and said, "Well, let's not talk about that for now, hurry up and take the two of them to find a place to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and then act according to the plan." โ
The people who followed Leopold this time were the two brothers Marman and Godagatte, and Marman originally thought that Miro had cheated them, so they could play in their true colors in the later plots, and it was not easy to have flaws when they confronted each other.
In fact, Ari was going to let Maman and the two people who entered the city last time together, but the two Godagoth brothers suddenly volunteered to fight, thinking that the barbarians basically looked the same in the eyes of humans, and Ari didn't bother......
