Chapter 100
Brandwison remained silently beside the goddess of nature, waiting for news from Ent.
However, until the divine body regained its composure, Blandwieson did not wait for news that his men had discovered Ente's traces.
"Your Excellency. ”
Say. Brandwieson spat out a word.
"We searched for twelve suspicious tourists, but none of them matched. ”
Brandwisson's expression was calm, and he did not blame his subordinates for the momentary failure.
He said expressionlessly: "It's normal not to find out, no matter what, it's the former captain of the pursuit team, since he chose to sneak in, if we see through the disguise so easily, then I'm too sorry for his previous position." ”
The subordinates also nodded, but did not leave.
"Anything else?"
"There's a message from an adjutor bishop from the Business Church, and I think you need to see it for yourself. ”
Brandwieson took the stack of papers handed to him behind his back.
On the paper was a series of short conversations that read:
"Honorable and dear Bishop, I have something important to report. ”
"You?"
"Exactly. ”
"You are responsible for your words. ”
"I'm in charge. ”
"You swear to your gods. ”
"I swear to him. ”
"So now, you can say it. ”
"The duke behind Count Turner is going to unite with another duke. ”
"O my lord god, you must swear to your gods!"
"I swore an oath, Your Excellency. ”
"Oh, of course, you swore it. Priest, do you have any proof?"
"This is what Viscount Arendt told me personally. ”
"When?"
"Just now. ”
"I'll tell the archbishop. ”
Brandwisson closed the report and asked, "That Viscount Arendt is the one who has been very close to Countess Turner lately?"
"That's him. ”
"He seems to have a lot of background?"
"You're as discerning as a torch. ”
"Then it seems that the Duke behind him is going to unite with the Duke behind Turner. ”
"You know what to do. ”
Brandwison turned his head slightly, glancing at the sharp-toothed messenger.
The messenger immediately closed his mouth in amusement.
Without the noise distraction, Brandwison was lost in thought.
Blandwison thought that this ostentatious viscount would make the nobles of Golden City scramble, but he didn't expect that this viscount actually came secretly with a contract.
This made the situation in Golden City complicated all of a sudden.
After thinking for a moment, Brandwieson asked a crucial question.
"Is there any whereabouts of this viscount today?"
"Yes, sir. ”
For this kind of particularly troublesome people, of course, they will have special records.
The messenger took another page from his bosom and handed it to Brandwisson.
Brandwisson only swept two lines, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The time when this viscount appeared in the church happened to be exactly the same time as the appearance of the goddess nature's body!
Brandwieson slapped the paper on his hand and patted it again, with a rare look of hesitation between his eyebrows.
"Who are the Viscount's team?"
"The Viscount and the Viscountess, as well as four attendants, and a dwarf, supposedly a subordinate of the Duke behind the Viscount. ”
Judging by the description, the Viscount's team configuration is highly consistent with that of the Dragon Adventure Party.
Now the identity and purpose of this viscount became confusing.
If the viscount's purpose was to form a secret alliance, he could have revealed such important news to the church, which was in trouble with the nobles. If they were pretending to be the Dragons, Count Turner, the de facto manager of the Golden City, had a close relationship with them.
Brandwison rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any news from Earl Turner?"
"It is said that golden embers of burning fire were seen over the Earl's Court. ”
The truth of the matter is hidden deeper in the fog.
At last, Brandwilson made up his mind and said, "Tomorrow, I will personally visit this viscount. The bait has been sown, and these nobles must not be allowed to cause trouble for me at the critical moment. ”
In the evening, all the members of the party had completed their mission and returned to their accommodations.
"Where's little Paul? isn't he alive, has he gone out to play?" asked Leo, glancing at the house, and seeing that little Paul was nowhere to be seen.
"I gave him a special assignment. Isenus said, putting down the book.
"I thought you wouldn't need him this time. Leo sat down with Nana and rubbed Nana's sore ankles thoughtfully.
Isenas glanced at Leo and said, "I don't have the habit of giving up my advantages. ”
"And what did you let him do?"
"Reach out to the fourth force in the city. ”
"The Fourth Force?"
Leo was very curious, in his vision, there were only three forces in the city, the first was the aristocratic forces led by the Countess of Turner, the second was the ecclesiastical confederation led by Brandwisson, and the third was naturally their team with other ideas.
The Dragon Adventure Group is weak, so it will rely on nobles who are relatively hostile to the Church.
But where does this fourth force come from?
In response to Leo's question, Isenas said perfunctorily: "You'll know when the time comes." ”
"Hush. ”
Ignoring Leo's slightly awkward expression, Isenus beckoned everyone, "I'll talk about tomorrow's action." ”
The crowd immediately gathered around and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"Our plan for today is well done, if Brandwisson is really in Golden City, then all the news today will definitely make him hesitate, and the best way to solve his doubts is to visit Viscount Arendt in person. Blandwison knows what you look like, and we'll be all exposed if you let him see you, and the best shield for refusing to meet him is the countess. So Leo, tomorrow your task is to drag Brandwison at the countess. ”
"I see. ”
"Ent, old Mo. Isenus turned his head and gestured to the two men with clerical robes.
"You two have solemn faces, and you are very suitable for pretending to be members of the church. Tomorrow, if there is news that Leo has been visited, the two of you will immediately change into this priesthood and go out of the city, remember, don't go through the normal process, and say that you are from the Church of Light. Ent, how are you going to pretend to be?"
Ente nodded.
He didn't have to pretend at all, he was the leader of the chaser team in front of the church who couldn't be upright.
"Seklin. ”
"Am I still in a group with you?" the old dwarf raised his hammer.
"That's right. Tomorrow, when Brandwisson chases him out, the two of us will enter the temple that Leo spoke of and awaken the goddess of nature. ”
Secklin, of course, had no objections.
However, Esennas's plan did not end there, and he told Ente: "Ente, don't go too fast when you get out of the city, and you must hold back Brandwisson, and when we come out of the Golden City, we will kill him together!"
At this point, all of Isennas's plans were laid out.
He first took advantage of Leo's familiarity with the aristocratic system to blend in with the nobles of the Golden City, and succeeded in gaining the trust of the countess. Then, using the rare identity of the dwarven blacksmith, he successfully forged the duke behind the "Viscount Arendt", and reached a mutual aid agreement with Jean Turner.
Esenas and Secklin's aggressive equipment building operation at the Earl's Court was not for the countess, but to deepen the belief in the alliance between the two Dukes of Brandwisson, which led him to suspicion.
Asking Entre and Omony to lure Brandwison out of town was not an overkill, but a decision made by Esenas for the rest of his trip.
The next place for the adventuring party to go, whether it is the peak of the world or the place where the primordial dragon haunts human legends, is where the power of the Church of Light lies, and it is too dangerous to let such a persistent and troublesome tail hang all the time, so Esenus plans to take this opportunity to kill Blandwison.
Leo, who had gradually figured it out, exhaled and said, "Although there are still some details that I haven't figured out, it seems to be generally feasible. But you're talking about what happens if Brandwison is there, right? What if he's not there?"
Esenas glanced at Leo and said, "Wouldn't it be better if he wasn't there?" This shows that the church has no defense against us at all, and if we snatch the god's body and run, who can stop us?"
Leo smiled awkwardly.
Isennas's layout was so tight that he unconsciously became nervous.
"Then it's settled. ”
At the Earl's Court, Turner was in the arena trying out the weapon that Seklin had just created.
The whirring sound of a large axe swinging in the countess's hand was completely out of step with her seemingly fragile size.
After a long time, the countess reluctantly handed over the weapon to the attendant and put it in the carefully prepared weapon sealing box.
"Lord Earl, this weapon is a perfect match for you, and it can fully demonstrate the unworldly strength of your Sanctuary. The butler handed over the towel with concern.
"As long as it's a sanctuary, no one will dislike this weapon. The countess still reminisced about the illusion that she had just seemed to be omnipotent.
Seklin's weapon is of paramount proportions, and it has two rare enchantment effects.
"This dwarven master is truly remarkable. Jean sighed.
To be able to create an epic weapon in just half a day, there is nothing wrong with calling it a grandmaster.
"So what do you mean, Count?" asked the butler.
"Go and bring this weapon to the Duke, and tell the Duke that the Duke of Bigley has sent someone to form a secret alliance. Remember, the person who delivers the letter and the person who delivers the thing go separately. ”
The butler nodded.
"I have one more piece of news here, Lord Count. ”
"Say it. ”
"In the city today, it seems that someone is spreading the news of the secret alliance between the two dukes. ”
"What!?"
At this point, the countess had to take a serious look at all the context of the whole incident again.
After a long time, the countess said, "Don't report the news of the alliance to the duke yet. Put the garrison on alert. ”
The countess looked at the sun, which had sunk in the sky, and said to herself, "Viscount Arendt, what do you want to do?"
