Chapter Ninety-Six: The Attack in the House
Bettred turned and walked towards the rooms in the Treasure House, except for the antechamber, which was used as a shop, and the bedrooms on the left and right, with her and her husband's room on one side and the servant's quarters on the other, which, as her husband said, was easy to manage.
She remembered that Ryada's contract was supposed to be in a small box in the room, and Tonal had added a lock to the box so that he always had the key with him.
It seems that there is some little secret hidden, thinking of this, Betted smiled, as a woman's careful thinking, Bettride had already copied a key, although he did not deliberately look through the contents inside, he could guess that it was nothing more than Tonal and his eldest brother, Songwa Silverblood, the two brothers in order to control Marcas, some of the plans made by the two brothers, from finance step by step to control the military power, the person who sat in the lord's position was almost elevated, and the silver-blooded family just lacked a legitimate opportunity, after all, they supported the opposition of the empire, the storm cloak.
She only cursoriously looked at her husband's diary, which mentioned a man named Maizinad, who seemed to be the leader of the oathbreakers who had been arrested ten years earlier, and who was also called the Ragged King, sounding like a king of beggars.
It is vaguely mentioned that the Oath Abandoner attacks that have occurred over the years were launched by the Silverblood Family by controlling the leader of the Oath Abandoners, which is why the Silver Blood Family, who originally controlled the prison in Marcus City, was able to take over the major mines of Richland so quickly.
If such a thing is reported to the lord, and the empire is held accountable, the entire silver-blooded family is estimated to be responsible.
Of course, since Betride married into a silver-blooded family, she would not do such a thing with a rich life, she was just looking for a way back for herself.
After many years of marriage and still no children, her husband Tonal's attitude towards her has changed a little, and it seems that he is blaming her, but thinking of the top of her husband's bald head and his incompetence at night, it is self-evident who to blame.
At the end of the diary, Tonal seems to have been worried that the beggar king, who had been imprisoned for ten years, would get out of control, and hurried out this morning for this purpose.
After thinking about it, Bett suddenly found that the servant who was cleaning the house was in front of her, and her face suddenly turned cold, she would give a good attitude to a person like Ryada who did her best, but the servant in front of her made her not feel much good, "Don't you see anyone!?" What to do in the middle of the road! ”
Maybe this servant should also be dismissed together, she has the impression that this guy has also secretly made some small moves with another servant, so he simply quit together, and all of them are replaced, out of sight and out of mind.
"Yes, I'm sorry...... Madam. The servant replied resignedly, as if frightened by Betrid's rebuke, and fell to the ground with the broom in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Bettred felt that his plan was correct, but he did not notice that the servant's right hand reflected a glimmer of light under the light of the candle flame.
"For my people!"
Bettride watched in horror, and the maid in front of her, who had to shake a few times after scolding, had a fanatical grin on her face, and a sharp dagger stabbed at her throat.
At that moment, the fear of death came over her, and she even forgot to dodge, closing her eyes and preparing to meet death.
“Fus Ro Dah!”
There was a roar in her ears, and Bettride felt a shock all over her body, and she almost fell, holding on to the cabinet by the wall with one hand to barely maintain her figure, and the echo of the shock in her ears made her vision blurry after opening her eyes.
But even so, she could see that the servant who had attacked her had been struck by a giant hammer, and the whole person flew out sideways, and smashed into a low cabinet, on which all the potions of various colors crackled and shattered, and shards of potion and glass were sprinkled on the servant like an overturned dye vat.
"Damn the Nords!"
The other servant saw his companion knocked down by the Dragonborn Maiden's sudden roar, and a searing fireball was thrown along with his roar.
However, this time it was inaccurate, and flew past Keshia's side, igniting the shelves by the wall, and the flames were blazing, adding a little heat to the whole room.
"Die, you traitors!"
A customer who had been crouching in the corner with a red tattoo on his face, looking like he was looking for something he wanted, pulled an axe from his waist and slashed at Ryada at the counter.
The sudden change made the ordinary woman frightened and at a loss, and when she saw that the customer was a fellow Brighton countryman, she also enthusiastically introduced the products in the store, and in the blink of an eye, the other party was facing her.
The oathbreaker, Rhyaya had no idea that the two servants who worked under the same roof with him were hidden thugs, as well as this compatriot who was still somewhat kind.
Her husband, Edith, grabbed a decorative shield and slammed it into the oathbreaker with his right shoulder.
It was rushed, but fortunately, Edith's physique was not bad, and although the shield was split open, the oathbreaker was stumbled as well.
Atrith felt a tingle in his arm, even if he had a shield to resist, but the other party's strength was obviously greater than him, working in the mine all the year round, he was difficult to compare to those guys who licked blood from the knife edge, it was too late to push the other party away again, he could only watch the other party chop the axe again, and then hit it again, he couldn't let his wife be hurt, and it was worth it for him to exchange his life for two.
However, this time the impact was not as big as expected, and the other party was knocked out by himself without resistance.
I saw a dagger stuck in the neck of the oathbreaker who had just seen a fierce gleam in his eyes, and blood sprayed out of the broken artery as if it were not worth money, staining half of the shield in his hand red, and the smell of blood and burning wood filled the room.
Zhang Lin moved his wrist, seemingly satisfied with his still accurate technique.
The servant who had just thrown the fireball saw that the situation was not good, but he had no intention of escaping, as if he had the mentality of killing enough money, and pounced directly on the hostess of the treasure house, and Mrs. Bett, who was still in shock.
But the fireball from his earlier frustrated the Dragonborn, who had almost burned his hair, and saw a whip leg slam into his face, causing him to spin and fly upside down with a thud on the door of the treasure house's storeroom.
On the sturdy metal gate, this guy's face was directly distorted and deformed, bleeding from all his orifices, and it seemed that there was only air out and no air in.
In just a few moments, the oathbreakers who attacked the treasure house were both dead and unconscious.
Bettride kicked the messy maid hard, and the moans of the other party made her take two steps back nervously, and she quickly picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, and stabbed the other man several times, and the blood splattered her luxurious clothes without paying attention.
Edith's wife held her husband's arm in fear, and when she saw the shield that had been split in half, she began to worry about her husband's injury.
After comforting his wife, Edith was even more determined to leave the city, even if the guards didn't kill him, such an oathbreaker attack would be fatal.
There was a chaotic sound outside the house, Zhang Lin opened the door and took a look, turned around and shouted to Edith and his wife, "You all stay here, it's more dangerous outside." ”
In the slightly open crack of the door, one of the guards of Marcus City could be seen slashed down by a sword of an oath abandoner wearing a deerant headdress.
The red-eyed abothbreaker noticed the Treasure House and was about to break in, but Zhang Lin reacted faster, opened the door and kicked it violently, knocking the other party down.
Zhang Lin's reminder and the shouting of murder after the door opened changed the expressions of the people in the room, and Arices threw away the broken shield and retook the more practical one from the shelf, protecting his wife behind her, and Madame Bédrid also nervously hid behind him, seeking some security.
