Chapter 0783 Into the Pit
When Powell came up with a 'clever' idea and was going to implement it, Adrian was doing something similar on the other side. The latter is obviously more rigorous and organized.
In the furniture store that serves as a safe house, Adrian spreads out a map from the Banshee Fortress to Coldwind City. This is a map that has been repeatedly surveyed and mapped by the caravan and intelligence personnel of Coldwind City for nearly a year, and many villages and roads that have never been marked in the past have appeared.
"On the orders of our lords, we are going to publicly execute Baron Bishop, and we are going to deter the enemy in a sensational manner. I was thinking of mobilizing a hunting party for an assassination, but the lord said there was an easier way. ”
Adrian is the mandate holder. According to the principle of responsibility in Coldwind City, even if Mondino and Old Banker have a higher status than him, they have to listen to him when they are deployed.
"His Excellency Hugo said that the alchemy laboratory produced an explosive. It is a mixture of some kind of magic potion and diatomaceous earth, and after the explosion, it also produces a highly toxic and corrosive gas.
Unfortunately, this explosive is less powerful and must be in sufficient quantities to achieve the desired destructive effect. So the lord sent someone to secretly transport it to me later.
But now that the Buchi family has sealed off their borders, they not only collect huge customs duties, but also send wizards to inspect the goods. That explosive had strong magical fluctuations, and it was impossible to fool the wizard.
It was very cumbersome to transport an entire wagon of goods from the wilderness, and it was difficult to get into the Banshee Castle, and we had to resort to roads, so I thought of the corpse collector. ”
Adrian's idea is similar to Powell's, with the help of the special identity of the corpse collector. As for the two chiefs who were sent to assist......
"Bishop is quite cunning and has a lot of guards around him. There are also many masters in Banshee Castle, and it is difficult for me to act openly, so I can't control the trajectory of my target's movements.
Therefore, Master Banker needs to make a certain prophecy to help me determine the pattern of Bishop's daily activities. In addition, accidents are likely to occur during the operation, and the assistance of Master Mondino is also required. ”
The two chiefs had no objection to this, and nodded slightly. Only the black cat crouching at the table made a 'meow' sound, indicating that he had not yet done a task.
A level 10 alchemy beast assassin, even if she was herself, made several people present feel scared in their hearts.
Hugo's strength has improved particularly quickly. He is not alone in every promotion, and all the maids with one vote are promoted and strengthened, and the mechanical dragon is no exception.
In the eyes of others, Hugo alone with his personal maid can run rampant in the Northland. It's like old Banker who is obedient and obedient, and doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake.
Adrian didn't want to assign the black cat at will, he spread his hands and said, "Meow, you can do it at will, just wander around the city and don't get into trouble." ”
The black cat 'meowed' again, approved the arrangement, and swooped out of the furniture store, disappearing without a trace.
On the other side, Powell felt that he had secured the corpse collector and returned to join Johnson.
The illusionist cheered his companion in an ecstatic tone, "It's unbelievable, so many people think the same way we do. ”
There were many people who thought the same thing, and Powell instantly felt that something was wrong.
But Johnson was unaware and continued to laugh: "I found a dozen wizards in the afternoon, and all of them expressed their willingness to cooperate, and I easily raised 150,000 gold coins. ”
Hearing that there were 150,000 gold coins in funding, Powell was in a better mood. "What about the money?" he asked. ”
"Naturally, it won't be handed over to me now, and we won't get the money until we leave." Johnson shrugged, "Besides, it's a little troublesome. ”
Judging by Johnson's expression, Powell felt that something must be in serious trouble.
"Those wizards didn't feel comfortable giving us the money, and they decided to do the deal together." Johnson rubbed his hands together, with a somewhat embarrassed expression, as if he was considering whether his next words would cause a beating?
Powell also frowned, waited for a while and didn't wait for the next step, he could only ask the doodle who was squatting on top of Johnson's head, "Your master promised that others would join in?" ”
Dudu didn't answer directly, it tapped Johnson's head with its paws, and said in a regretful tone: "Look, I'll just say you're smart." Pull so many people into the gang, how to divide the money afterwards? ”
Johnson snorted, not daring to refute his pet.
Dudu said to Powell again: "Not only did my master bring a dozen wizards into the gang, but he also told you about your idea of a 'corpse collector'. ”
Johnson hurriedly interjected, "I'm here to increase persuasion, otherwise how could someone else hand over hundreds of thousands of gold coins to us to take care of?" Anyway, the profit is so big, we just need to earn a little bit. ”
Say it out?
Still want to make money?
Powell was so angry that he didn't know how to scold. He stared blankly at his companion for a long time without saying a word, and finally could only shout:
"Johnson, I always thought you were a fool. But your ability to be stupid is beyond my imagination.
You tell people all the hole cards, how can we still make money? Isn't it good for someone else to do it themselves? Why make us money?
You still have the face to come back, as if you have made a great contribution. I'm fed up with you, and I'm fed up with this stupid bird. Goodbye, I don't want to work with you anymore. ”
Powell's madness was unbearable, and the blood full of wealth became colder and piercing than the north wind at this moment. He turned and left the hotel room where the two had rented, pushed the door and left, without looking back.
Just waiting for everyone to disappear, Dudu muttered in Johnson's ear: "Master, you still missed a detail that you didn't say." Not going to make it clear? ”
Johnson exclaimed, "Wait a minute. If I say it to my face, Powell will definitely want to beat me to death. It's not too late to wait for him to come back. ”
A man and a bird were waiting in the room, and Powell had just come down from the second floor of the hotel and was about to leave the door. But before he could reach the door, a wizard in a robed wizard came in the door.
The other party took two apprentices, and when he saw Powell, he raised his hand enthusiastically, "Ah......, isn't this our dear 'Mr. Fortune'?" It's a pleasure to meet you. ”
What...... Mr. Fortune?
Powell didn't know each other. But the wizard who entered the door came up to talk very familiarly, praised him for his courage and courage, and expressed his trust in him very much, and was willing to cooperate.
Powell didn't understand it at all, he was just full of anger but couldn't be rude to the wizard, so he could only reply with a few words of 'hehehe'.
After chatting for less than two minutes, the carriage rumbled outside the door of the hotel, and the entrance became the entrance to the vegetable market, and many people came in one after another.
They were either wizards, nobles, or great merchants, and even the dead of the Duchy of Os.
These people have different backgrounds and different identities, but without exception, they greeted Powell like old friends, gathered around him and loudly praised his wisdom and courage.
The more praise was given by others, the more frightened Powell became. He vaguely realized that the situation was out of control, and it must have been Johnson, the bastard, who pushed him into the fire pit behind his back.
At this time, the staircase on the second floor of the inn.
Dudu grabbed the floor slab and hung it upside down, exposing half of his head, just in time to see Powell surrounded in the hotel lobby. It said to Johnson, who was hiding behind the stairs:
"Master, Powell can't get out, and you've been miserable. He certainly won't be able to spare his hands to kill you now, but it's hard to say later. ”
