One hundred and fifty-eighth Sula Counsel
Muhadi withdrew his hands and wiped the blood casually. Several corpses were disfigured by him, and Rikas sniffed hard, called in two guards, and carried the corpses away.
The room was large, and there were only a small number of bloodstains on the ground. When the three of them returned to the place where they had first met, the old mage Kotander opened his mouth and said to Muhadi, "Is there a way?"
The boy thought about it for a moment and decided not to disclose his current situation. "There's a way, let's gather the people here first, and then tell them that we have a kind of magic that can find the lurkers among them step by step. ”
"Next, we pretend to cast a spell and divide the crowd into two groups without touching each other. For every group of people, we tell them that the lurking enemy is in their midst. ”
"Continue to repeat this step, dividing the crowd into eight, sixteen, thirty-two. Every time we say to each small group of people, we are now the lurker among you. ”
"That way, whether the thief is a face dancer or not, who is disguised as someone. He's going to feel like he's about to be exposed, and we're pulling him out step by step. ”
Kotander understood Muhadi's thoughts and nodded slightly. "Do you think you'll be able to force the thief to expose himself? I think it will take a lot of time to do it in your way, and we will need some absolutely reliable men. Even if he did, the person might have taken his breath and continued to pretend to be innocent. We used all the soldiers, and it was impossible to end up in a small group of two or three people. ”
Muhadi suspects that the presence of the dancers with faces is itself a hoax. Even if there were, it wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface, so he just casually mentioned this simple idea. He wanted to test what the Cotander ** master thought. "This ...... I have some other ideas, but they are all a little complicated, don't you have a better idea?"
"Catching this thief may be able to avenge the death of a few soldiers, but it doesn't mean much. Cotander said vaguely, and Ricas, who was beside him, frowned, clearly disagreeing with this statement, but he did not interject, but continued to listen to the old mage. "The most important thing we should do is to find out who instructed the thief and what his purpose was. ”
"I'll follow the advice of this Muhadi captain and put a little pressure on that thief first. But we've deliberately left some security holes to give the lurker a chance to escape. Of course, we also ambushed a team of people outside beforehand, secretly following the lurker. ”
This idea is exactly the same as Muhathir's own idea of letting Medici run away, he has suffered a loss last time, and he does not dare to be so careless this time. "It's too dangerous, and he might just get away with it. He reminded loudly.
Rikas obviously had similar doubts, "This person must have been instructed by the Witch King behind his back, and if he escaped, he must have run to the Witch King's coalition army." And what do you need to let him out?"
Cotander glanced at Muhati meaningfully, "Witch Kings and Witch Kings, this is a big difference. The witch king of Yurik City and Nibennai, the witch king of Ankara, may not be without contradictions. Karak's legacy, they are all fighting over. What's more, those who want to get Karak's inheritance are not necessarily the witch kings. Even in the city of Tyre, it is inevitable that no one will have any other thoughts. ”
Rikas said angrily, "You mean, this incident may not have been done by the Witch King? Could it be that there are still people in the city trying to subvert the revolution? Is it not Tessian? Isn't he dead yet?!"
Muhadi watched Rikas's explosion silently, while Cotander stopped the gladiator in a weak voice. "It's just an old man's suspicion, don't accuse your political enemies in the ruling council. Tessian may have used this to attack you, and now that the Witch-King coalition has come so close. The king election meeting may be held earlier, and if Tessian wins, then he will certainly not forget your offense. ”
"Hahahaha," Rickas laughed out loud, his neck reddening with laughter. "No matter how lucky he is, he may just get lucky to beat me. She's not as ignorant of politics as I am, and that guy from Tessian might be able to trick me up with a little trick. But Shatiri will never be counted by anyone!"
Cotander didn't say anything, just sighed in an almost inaudible voice, and then said. "So what are we going to do? Captain Muhadi, what do you say?"
The young man is usually a brave person, but this decision is really difficult to make, and he said after a while. "Maybe we shouldn't risk letting the lurker go, catch him first, and then I'll try to read the mind with psychics. ”
"That said, do you still use your method?" Cotander, stroking his chin, "but even if the lurker is lured into revealing himself, we can't guarantee that we will capture him alive." We don't have enough people to keep everyone on the lookout. ”
"So I'll set another trap," Muhati thought as he made his thoughts public. "In fact, we can leak false news and claim that the stolen texts are fake. Whether it's the face dancer's own credibility or the witch king's treatment of minions who don't complete their tasks, the lurker will probably try to steal the real text, which gives us the opportunity to set a trap. ”
Rikas listened to Muhadi's idea and looked extremely excited, "I think it's a good idea, Muhadi! I heard that when you were in the city, you used to be a subordinate of the Butcher of Truth, right? The Butcher of Truth died at the hands of the Face Dancer, right?" ”
The gladiator continued, "I understand what it's like to be killed, someone I respect. So I'm sure you'd love to have a chance for revenge, and I'll give you that chance when the time comes. ”
The former captain of the City Watch, the Butcher of Truth, was actually killed by Muhadi and the Face Dancer, but he covered it up well, and outsiders only thought that the Butcher of Truth had died in the line of duty. Later, Muhathir was recommended by the Grand Psychic Warlock Councillor Aikis to take over the deceased's position and become an officer in Tyre.
I don't know if Rikas and the Butcher of Truth have a good relationship, but they were also gladiators, and they probably still have some friendship. The boy couldn't help but feel very strange when he heard Rikas say that he wanted to help him avenge the Butcher of Truth.
Old Mage Cotander's mind seemed to wander, and it took a while for his eyes to regain focus. "Since you both agree to this, let's do it. However, in order to make the play realistic, we have to study the details......"
