Chapter 1092: Arrest Warrant
......
"So, you're going to help him?" said Mar Tokat frowning, "a remnant of the church?"
After escorting Qiao down, the chief of the guard immediately called the envoy of Glowlight City and repeated the matter from beginning to end - he was not worried that the three families would try to make an attempt on the treasure, after all, no one knew what it was really for, if it was really a rare treasure with great power, then it would be impossible to fall out of the morning light in the first place.
"It's not up to me to decide whether to help or not," Sean said disapprerovingly, "I was given the order to search for the whereabouts of the treasure as much as possible, and now that I finally have a seemingly credible clue, I naturally have to make further confirmation." It is up to His Majesty to decide what action to take thereafter. He paused and looked at the other, "So, do you have any good plans, Mr. Envoy?"
The First Army is invincible, but it must have an enemy, and it is not the strength of the soldiers to search for spies hiding in the shadows, and this kind of thing is undoubtedly more appropriate for the three major families to handle.
"Honestly, I wish I had never heard of this," Marr shrugged, "If it weren't for the church, Sister Quinn wouldn't have been expelled from Dawn, and maybe now it's my eldest brother's wife...... Ahem, but since you opened your mouth, I can only help to the end. Although there have been a lot of people coming to town lately, it is not difficult to find a specific group of people. ”
"Specific groups?"
"That's right, in the case of cage mountain, the closest way to get here from Wolf's Heart is by sea, the harbor city northeast of Thorntown, Coral Bay. "Ten to fifteen people from the east, and maybe a wolf-hearted accent or style of dress, can be narrowed down to two or three groups at once—no more than five." ”
"Because of the big cities in the east...... Is there only one Coral Bay?" Sean said thoughtfully. It's like the people who came to Neverwinter from the east may come from all over the Greyhold, but those who arrive in Neverwinter from the west are basically the only devils left. "When you find these people, you will detain them all and interrogate them again?"
That's what it means. Marr nodded, "And the spy you're looking for is one of them." ”
"The question is who is going to do this?"
"Is there anything that knows a small town better than a local rat? Marr smiled and stroked his chest, "In order to show the sincerity of the three major families, this cost will be borne by the Tokat family." ”
......
In a mansion on the outskirts of Thorntown, Hagrid, the Earl of Grand Prince's butler, is impatiently driving away the mosquitoes around him.
He couldn't even find a breathable tent in this damn shitty place, and he thought to himself with annoyance, if the summer hadn't even arrived, there would be flying insects, and in two months, wouldn't he be able to treat people at all?
However, until now, there is still no clue why the festival cube glows.
He wasn't even sure if the King of the Grey Keep had actually come for the treasures in the Temple of the Damned.
See what the other party has done during this period?
According to the information collected by his subordinates, the Grey Fort exploration team arrived in Thorn Town two months ago, and then opened mountains and roads, and recruited death row prisoners, which has a posture that the world does not know. The temple halfway up the mountain was also dug up, and every day bricks and stones were brought down from the mountain and placed in a constantly guarded clearing.
It would be reasonable to say that it was all about finding treasures that might be buried, but the truth is that the Grey Keep's attitude towards the stones seems to be much more fervent than the treasures. He had observed from afar that the bricks and stones brought out of the temple were evenly dried and then loaded onto horse-drawn wagons to Coral Bay to the east.
Hagrid really couldn't understand what the King of the Grey Keep wanted of these black stones.
He also managed to steal a few temple stones from the harbor and ordered them to be brought back to Count Lorenzo, but the result was just as he expected, and the ritual cube did not regain its legendary power.
The key thing that caused the reaction of the ancient treasure must be something else.
"My lord, we have brought the person you are looking for," one of his men suddenly opened the curtain and reported to him.
"Let him in," Hagrid quickly tightened his bow tie and sat up straight.
"Yes!"
Then a villager-like man was pushed into the house, he fell to his knees, and looked up cautiously, "My lord, my name is Naf, do you want to go up the mountain? As long as you don't cross the peak, I can take you anywhere—"
"I heard that when the Grey Castle people first arrived in Cage Mountain, you were the guide they hired?" Hagrid interrupted.
"Yes, yes...... My lord. ”
"Smack. ”
Hagrid threw a small cloth bag directly in front of him, "There are twenty golden dragons in here, as long as you can name something that interests me, it will be yours." ”
"When, of course, my lord, I'll say anything!" replied Naf excitedly.
"Let's tell the whole story of the situation first, and don't miss every detail. Hagrid glanced contemptuously at the man at his feet, leaning back in his chair.
Naf opened his eyes abruptly as the group climbed Cage Mountain, "Wait, what did you just say?"
"The witch lady known as Azima—"
"No, the latter!"
"Well, she said, holding up a coin, go this way. ”
"Coins?" Hagrid asked, "what?"
"It looks ordinary, neither like a silver wolf nor like a bronze eagle. "By the way, there's no pattern on it, it seems to be just a polished flake." ”
"Did the witch hold it all the time?" Hagrid felt like he had a faint grasp on the point.
"Most of the time. The guide had an epiphany, "I also remembered that the group was dominated by witches in the direction of travel, and every time they turned, the witches would put coins in front of their eyes, as if they were staring at something. ”
Damn, it really has something to do with this group of xenomorphs!
Hagrid clenched his fists, "That witch named Aqima...... Where are you now?"
"I—I don't know," Nave shook his head, "she left Thorntown in a few days, presumably...... Back to Grey Castle?"
If it was only for a few days, the other party would have been out of the cage before he set off, but the reaction of the festival cube did not stop, that is, ...... The coin was left here?Hagrid quickly calculated in his heart, it was probably not a coin at all, but the "key" that the King of the Grey Keep had found in other ruins, and since it was not trivial, the custodian must be the leader of the exploration team.
He had already found out this information, and the two highest-ranking people in the current Grey Keep team were the commander-in-chief Sean and the envoy of the three families, Mar.
A king's guard seems to be more easily tempted than the second son of a noble family - most castles in the world are often conquered from within.
If you want to open a breakthrough in him, how many golden dragons do you have to prepare?
Five hundred...... Or a thousand?
However, Hagrid knew that no matter how much, for the secret of the Rubik's Cube, the Earl would be happy to pay.
As long as you can connect with him, you must not be far from the answer.
Hagrid couldn't help but get excited.
If he had obtained that key "key", he would have been greatly appreciated by Count Lorenzo, and even further, the position of lord would not be impossible? After all, no one has a rule, only the lord can use the Rubik's Cube.
Just as he was envisioning a wonderful future, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Wait, who are you-"
"Ahh
Then there was a clattering bang, and before Hagrid could come to his senses, the door was violently kicked open, and a group of uninvited guests dressed in patrol outfit poured into the room and pinned him to the ground.
Hagrid struggled to straighten his bow tie, "I-I'm a legitimate businessman, you can't do this to me!
"Lord Thorn Town suspects that there are remnants of the Church hidden in your caravan, and you need to be investigated immediately," the other party was unmoved, "If you have anything to say, keep it and tell your lordship!"
