Chapter 136: Undercurrents are surging
The dark bard in Jiang Lan's mouth is not so much a reality that exists in the cracks of history, but actually more like a ghostly rumor.
In other words, the group called the Dark Bards is not known to anyone at all. And their purpose and behavior patterns are similarly almost imperceptible. β
Su Mu's final conclusion seemed to be ridiculous in his helplessness.
But if you think about it, you will see that this is exactly the same as the one who killed Berg.
The man did come out of nowhere, and left again without leaving any more message.
As for the reason why he wanted to kill Berg, not only Su Tong and Su Mu couldn't explain it, but even the administrator of Saphist City, Wen Liang, also acquiesced to Su Mu and the others who had no way of knowing.
Therefore, when Jiang Lan said that the mysteries of the "dark bard" were presented in front of Su Mu and the others little by little.
A certain kind of unanimous determined gaze also intersected between Su Mu and Su Tong in an instant.
"That's what it is...... The best excuse!"
There is no doubt that whether it is Su Mu or Su Tong, if the two of them judge purely from reason, they obviously cannot be so easy...... Blame the matter on the so-called dark bards.
However, because of this, since it is impossible to make a correct judgment intellectually, this kind of ghostly and bizarre remarks can also be used as an excuse.
"Although, according to the magistrate's gentle request, it is better for us not to communicate with anyone as much as possible, and we need to turn away all visits so as not to leave a single loophole. β
"Clearly, however, if we were to be lax and fail to come up with a plausible excuse in advance, it would still make our situation more passive. β
Su Mu said this, and directly skipped Su Tong, who was thinking about the same place with him.
Then he explained to Jiang Lan and the prince Su Can very seriously:
"We must pretend that we never knew anything about Berg's killing, and we don't have the slightest clue about the murderer who killed Berg. β
"The only thing we have to do now is ...... Spread the legend of the Dark Bard!"
......
It has actually been a full three days since the dinner in the executive mansion ended with the hasty departure of the prince and princess.
However, in the past three days, the entire city of Saphista was shrouded in an extremely strange atmosphere.
By now, even the upper class, no matter how closed the information is, must have known the shocking fact that Berg was killed in the camp of the Stormwind Corps from various ways.
What kind of identity and background Berg has, others may not know.
But for the upper echelons of Saphister City, it was almost an open secret.
"The chairman of the Saphist Business Alliance is actually Berg's biological father. Although the Shangmeng is not their own, they hold at least more than seventy percent of the resources of the Shangmeng. β
Wen Liang's eyes were sharp, piercing the bustling streets outside the administrative residence.
It seems that I want to see the huge shadow that hangs behind the block through the unremarkable neighborhood.
"So, no matter how reluctant he is to accept my offer now, I must actually meet him before the conflict between the two sides breaks out. β
"The servants of his dwellings do not receive letters, but send them directly to every place where he usually goes, and his closest attendants, who do not want to say much to you, go directly to the side branches of their family in the mansion. β
"Whatever method you use, you must also convey the message of my request to meet to the eyes of the President of the Saphist Business Alliance as soon as possible. β
Wen Liang said, but he withdrew his gaze from the street again.
And continued to write at the desk...... More invitations!
Even the chairman of the Saphaste Business Alliance could not ignore the invitation of the Executive Mansion after all, so the only thing he could do was ...... I just tried my best to avoid the invitation letter.
On the other hand, as long as one of these invitations is successfully passed in front of the chairman of the business alliance.
Then from that moment on, that is when Wen Liang can really intervene.
......
However, with the huge number of invitations, through various channels, it is constantly approaching the chairman of the business alliance of Saphelst.
Another piece of news, but I don't know when it began, is spreading throughout the city of Saffest.
Dark Bard...... A legend that once existed only in a few words in ancient books is now like some kind of fascinating and bizarre rumor, echoing throughout the streets of Saphelst City.
"Did you hear that the killer who killed Berg was actually the legendary Dark Bard? β
At a tea party held by a wealthy businessman, several idle rich wives were chatting.
"I've heard that the so-called Dark Bards are actually remnants of an ancient empire, and when they sensed that there was no hope of recovering their country, they began to practice chivalrous acts on the continent, specifically punishing those with despicable personalities. β
It was a young woman who spoke, and now she clearly had a naΓ―ve sense of justice, but she also had some disdain for people like Berg.
However, her remarks undoubtedly poked at some of the fears of several other rich wives.
Therefore, someone immediately made a rebuttal to the woman's remarks in line with the position:
"As far as I know, the so-called Dark Bard is actually an agency specializing in assassination. As long as someone pays enough money, they can do anything crazy. β
"I've even heard...... They have been assassinated even by the monarch of the Longtuo Empire in the distant past. β
It is precisely because they are so arrogant that they have been purged by all the kingdoms and completely disappeared from the surface. Now it can only be like a rat crossing the street, always hidden in the dark. β
"And ......"
Obviously, there is no real evidence for all the remarks made at this afternoon tea party.
However, the ability of human beings to add fuel to their own vinegar is undoubtedly more amazing than they themselves imagined.
Although the source of all the information was just Jiang Lan, under the instruction of Su Mu, he quietly revealed this information to the servants who served "accidentally".
But when this message was relayed layer by layer, it finally reached the mouths of every Saphelst resident.
But everyone swears by it, saying a certain side of this information, and then magnifying this one-sidedness to the extreme according to their own understanding.
As a result, the "exact" news that even Jiang Lan didn't know was also circulating wantonly in word of mouth.
Whether it's about the secrecy of the Dragon Tuo Emperor or the romantic fantasy of the dark bard itself.
All of this is becoming unstoppable in the intermingling and contrasting with each other.
Eventually, when one hears the news of Berg's murder by the Dark Bard, there are already a myriad of explanations that make it logical.
It seems that Berg's death by the Dark Bard was a matter of course.
"Whether the so-called Dark Bards are chivalrous or villains, the reason why they want to kill Berg must have something to do with their larger plans. β
"I don't know about the plan, but it's clear that Berg was killed in the barracks, and it's definitely not that simple. β
The wife of a wealthy businessman who initiated this tea party lightly made a qualitative summary of this gossip.
And her summary is also the conclusion that has been drawn in the entire city of Saphorst.
