The wooden hut of the corpse collector was very dilapidated and very dark. The whole house has no windows and has a stale atmosphere. As soon as the door was closed, there was a black hole inside. The cold wind blows outside, and the planks of the house creak and rattle, as if they could collapse at any moment.

There were no beds in the house, and a dozen or so corpse collectors slept on the cold ground. They lay hay in piles and slept in them, but the cold wind still blew in through the cracks in the planks, and the blowers stiffened.

Banshee Castle is generally fueled by wood, but logging is hard physical work. For heating and daily life, the perimeter of the city is cut down bare, so fuel is particularly expensive.

The poor cannot afford to burn firewood, so they can only burn what they have. The cheapest thing is the manure of large animals, which burns up so much smoke that it can choke people indoors. But as a corpse collector, he had no choice at all, either he froze to death or was smoked to death.

Adrian's smoked eyes in the corpse collector's hut burst into tears. He secretly thought that he was not a delicate person in the past, why couldn't he stand it?

After thinking about it for a moment, it can only be that the life in Coldwind City has been greatly improved, and the bottom of the Banshee Castle is not even as good as a dog.

The corpse collector's lunch is a batter, the cheapest food on the market. I can't tell what it is, and I can't describe what it tastes like.

Adrian used to eat a lot of unpalatable things. But his meal today was definitely the most unpalatable, not one of them.

"You've had such a hard time." Adrian put down the broken wooden bowl in his hand and took out a silver coin from his pocket, "Is there still food to buy in the city now?" ”

"Yes. We had it at the grain store in Buch, but we never could afford it. These batters were sent to us by the town hall, which was a bit unpalatable, but the advantage was that it didn't cost money. ”

The youngest of the corpse collectors spoke. He was only about eleven or twelve years old, thin and small, and the wooden bowl in his hand had already been eaten.

The old corpse collector next to him saw Adrian's silver coin, shook his head and said, "We usually only use copper coins, and if we use silver coins to buy food, we will definitely be considered stolen by the sheriff." Unless...... Divide him in half. ”

This situation is really not surprising at all, the normal operation of the noble dog's legs.

Adrian thought about what his lord did - as long as his lord Hugo was free, he would ride his mechanical dragon around the city, in and out of the city.

Propaganda, education, purge, the lords single-handedly forcibly reformed the bureaucratic system. In order to show that it was different from the past, the sheriff of Coldwind City even changed his name to the police.

Looking at the situation of the Banshee Castle again, Adrian could only shake his head, take out a few more coins from his pocket and give them to the corpse collectors, so that they could exchange them for copper coins to buy some food.

"Take it, you can only live when you are full, and you can escape to Coldwind City to live a good life."

A dozen of the corpse collectors were grateful, carefully took the coin, and swore allegiance to Hugo in all their might. Adrian was smiling on his face, but he was shaking his head in his heart. He said a few words to the corpse collector and left.

Coldwind doesn't want to fight, but reality forces it to expand. In order to deal a blow to the back of the Buchi family when the war broke out, the erosion and infiltration of the Banshee Castle officially began half a year ago.

Adrian was in charge of the matter, specializing in the search for potential allies within the enemy. From the aristocracy to the peddlers, anyone who is dissatisfied with the Buch family is his contact.

Coldwind City has specially cultivated a spy team, and hundreds of people have infiltrated various cities in the Northlands. As the focus, there are more than a hundred Banshee Castles, and nearly two thousand inner lines of different levels have been developed.

At present, there are more than a dozen safe houses and dozens of communication lines with different paths inside the Banshee Castle. The network of intelligence expands through the city like a pool of mercury.

The corpse collector's hut is an intelligence point, which is not noticed and is discriminated against. With a little publicity, the corpse collectors who lived in extreme hardship fell to Coldwind City. In fact, they only eat for a bite, and they don't think much about anything else.

Adrian set up this intelligence point to fulfill the mission assigned by the lord - to execute Baron Bishop, who had committed war crimes.

Half a year ago, Bishop led thousands of troops to invade the territory of Coldwind City. While stationed in Foggy Town, several of his troops caused a horrific massacre of the village.

Of the more than 2,000 people in Dense Fog Town, one-third died at the hands of Bishop's direct forces. Rape, robbery, arson, massacre, all kinds of heinous crimes are related to him.

Victor. Hugo issued a lord's order in the city of Coldwind, tried Bishop in absentia, and offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins for the baron's life.

This lord's decree had been published in the Coldwind City newspaper a few months earlier. But unlike other hotly debated policies, this order has not attracted much attention at all, and everyone thinks that His Excellency Hugo is talking about it.

Bishop himself is strong, has a lot of protection around him, and stays in the Banshee Castle, where can he kill if he wants to? Even the adventurers of the Northlands, who regard money as their fate, are not interested.

But just because you don't take it seriously doesn't mean that this order won't be carried out.

Adrian spent half a year weaving nets in the Banshee Castle, not only to obtain information and set up an underground front, but also to kill Bishop when the time came.

The Buchi family is a city, and the Baron is the highest title that the family can bestow. Getting rid of Bishop in the enemy's lair will inevitably cause a huge psychological shock.

Bishop was known among the nobility for his brutality and ferocity. He has made a lot of contributions to the Bouche family. The suppression of riots, the elimination of dissidents, and the expropriation of tyranny, each meritorious service meant a large number of deaths, and the number of people who hated him was innumerable.

Getting rid of such a target is conducive to winning people's hearts, and it will inevitably suffer from the crazy revenge of the Buchi family. Adrian had been planning for a long time to accomplish this, and he had not paid attention until he established contact with the corpse collector.

Leaving the corpse's hut, Adrian walked slowly through the streets of the city, wrapped in a rotten robe. The city is much larger than Coldwind, and each district is relatively independent.

The Buchi family has always been wealthy in the past, and the city is better built than Coldwind City. The buildings lining the streets are mostly made of stone, which is strong and durable, and far warmer than wood.

In the past, people wanted to live in the Banshee Fortress, because the living conditions and job opportunities here were much better than those in Coldwind City, and it gathered talent and capital. Now..... Slightly changed.

After circling several shopping streets twice to make sure no one was following him, Adrian arrived at the back door of a furniture store in the city. It was the private property of a small aristocracy who made a lot of money by buying finished timber from the north.

The furniture store is three storeys high and has a small attic on the roof of the back door. There are always people staring behind the wooden windows of the attic, and when Adrian appears, the people in the store are ready to plan.

The back door opened, and two shopkeepers came out to pass Adrian. The former will walk around the nearby streets to make sure no one is watching, and be alert to movement outside. The latter didn't say hello and went straight to the door.

Because the Bucci family blocked the border, the store could not buy cheap materials from the north, and business was bleak. A few apprentice carpenters were chatting and didn't look much at outsiders coming in.

Adrian walked through the backyard, where a man in a black robe was waiting. He hurriedly exclaimed, "Master Mondino, you are here too?" ”

The black-robed man raised his head slightly, revealing a half-skeletal face, "Your Excellency the Lord has received your plan of action, and he has approved it.

But considering that Bishop is not an ordinary target, I will send you support. Not just me, but old Banker, and ......, Meow Meow. ”

Behind the Chief Necromantic is Old Bank, who has once again taken up the position of Chief Prophecy of Coldwind City. There was also a black cat licking its paws on the table behind Old Bank.

This team is quite luxurious, and it is obviously going to make a big fuss.
