Chapter 1568: Obvious Weakness
Belรฉm the Elder was bedridden when he returned to the Belรฉm family's old home.
Eaten back by the power of the oath, although the situation has improved a lot, it still needs a good rest to completely eliminate the impact.
The Divine Array was arranged next to the bed, and Old Belun planned to have a good rest and use the Divine Array to heal his wounds.
But old Belen, who had just fallen asleep, received urgent information.
Frowning, the old Belen, dressed in bloated pajamas, wore a nightcap, looking at the urgent information with a sleepy look, and his facial features began to squeeze together.
It's time to go out.
Today seems to be going to a dinner party by invitation, riding in a gorgeous carriage, dressed like a dog.
The most important thing is that Tianxian did not go to one, but drove five in a row!
Each family leaves in a short time, seeming to ...... Just finish eating and leave.
These are the information brought back by the eyeliner who tracked Tianxian, and Old Belen had instructed that whenever Tianxian took action, he would report it immediately.
Old Belun didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Tianxian's gourd, but when he was moving around at this sensitive time, this kid's heart was big enough, and he had told him to stay at home before, but this kid began to spin around in a blink of an eye.
After thinking for a while, Old Belen's expression suddenly changed slightly, waved the messenger away, and pressed it somewhere in the cabinet next to the bedroom, and the cabinet slid open to the side, revealing the old files and books inside.
After searching for a while, old Belen took out a thick booklet from it and closed the cabinet with his hand.
This is a booklet that shouldn't exist.
It belongs to the annual report of the Interior Department of Boiling Water City to the Great Lord Ivan, and this is something that only the High Lord Ivan can see.
Old Belen has a copy in his hand, and of course, the process of waiting for it is not easy, and it also pays a great price.
But in order to be able to take revenge, about everything about the great lord Ivan, the old Belen spared no cost.
This thick report allows Old Belen to easily grasp the recent situation of various industries in Boiling Water City, the distribution of forces of various parties, and some information that will never be brought to the table to discuss.
When the Great Lord Ivan makes decisions, he often has to refer to these intelligences, which is also a bargaining chip for the game between Old Belen and the Great Lord Ivan.
Old Belen felt that he was not mistaken, and the five families that Tianxian went to visit today seemed to be ......
After checking it for a while, Old Belen put the booklet back, his face full of doubts.
In this Boiling Water City, according to the division of factions and strength, it can probably be divided into seven factions, each faction represents the interests of one party, and the Belen family also belongs to one of them, and it is usually not obvious.
And today, the sky was idle and chaotic, and the door of the five families was quickly turned to the banquet, and these five families belonged to five different factions, among which there was no faction where the Belen family was.
The remaining one, according to the informant, was on the street at the time when he heard Tian Xian say: "I can't eat...... Let's go back. โ
Then he got into the carriage and went home.
This credibility ...... There should be, Old Belen thought back to Tianxian's evil smile, and felt that this sentence should have been said by this kid.
Everywhere and ......
Old Belen was very puzzled, although everyone knew that there were seven major factions in Boiling Water City, fighting each other openly and secretly, but not everyone knew which family really belonged to which faction, most families were free on the surface, and were not attached to any faction, and they usually went their own way, and the super high turnover rate of people in Boiling Water City also made it very difficult to monopolize this kind of thing, and the major factions only managed their own affairs, and did not force those free small forces and small families.
However, how did this kid know that the five families belonged to five factions?
Old Belen knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that he had spent a lot of money to buy these secret scrolls, he wouldn't know which faction those families belonged to, let alone the days when he had only been in Boiling Water City for a few days.
Is it really a coincidence, just going out to eat and drink?
Just wondering, Old Belen received news again, this time it was the big bald head from Tianxian's family who blatantly sent it, and it must be a contact.
Tianxian has already gone home, and he has packed a lot of food back, and this is what he said before leaving...... Now he and the swordsman are eating.
Old Belen couldn't help but suspect that maybe he had found the wrong partner......
The spies who had sent the information quickly exited Old Belen's room and disappeared into the darkness where no one could see, only to ...... In the utility room not far away, a pair of eyes have recorded everything.
In just a few minutes, in the servant residential area on the back of Regal Street, Old Dolly had already received the corresponding news, and the dragon clan distributed throughout the city delivered the news at an unbelievably fast speed.
Of course, this news did not attract the attention of old Dolly, there are many such news every day, because this one is related to the leisure of the day, so he took a second look, and then ignored it.
Old Dolly's concern was not to go out and eat and drink for nothing, but to think about another thing.
Over the years, the dragon clan has worked hard and lurked in Boiling Water City, it can be said that the leader is exhausted, and all the members are also cautious, everyone understands that as long as they are not careful, they may be wiped out.
In the city, Old Dolly and his people saw with their own eyes how the cannons and hard crossbows on the walls of Boiling Water City used incredible force to shoot down the dragons one by one, and then dragged back the corpses to dismember them and make them into various trophies.
In recent years, the dragons have stopped attacking, but the original scene is vivid, and old Dolly never dares to forget it.
It is impossible to return to the Dragon Valley, and the Golden Dragon King can't wait for the dragons here to die.
And living here forever is not the way to go.
Humans are humans, and dragons are dragons after all.
Dragons need the crystallization of human wisdom and the fruits of human prosperity to build their own homes, but it does not mean that they want to turn themselves into humans to live.
In other human settlements, dragons are lurking in turns, leaving after a certain period of time for various reasons, and then returning to the dragon valley to sleep, which is a kind of rest and relaxation for dragons, and it is also a reward.
Maintaining a human form, day after day, never revealing his identity, and never ending his labor, this requires great endurance for the dragons, after all, the dragons are not human slaves, not miscellaneous servants.
In the first few years, the dragons of Boiling Water City were still glad that they occupied this place, this place was richer than anywhere else, although most of the work was rough, but the life here was much stronger than that of Dragon Valley, and other human settlements.
But as time went on, as he grew older, Dolly Sr. began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
The dragons here have nowhere to go, and what they are about to face is an unavoidable end.
Old Dolly is already very old, and he can't remember how old he is when he first arrives.
Dragons not only grow old, but also die......
Dead dragons cannot maintain their human form, which means that dragons must not die in Boiling Water City, otherwise it will cause an uproar.
To die, to die outside, where no one knows.
Originally, the dragons were going to return to Dragon Valley before they died, but now this road is no longer possible.
In recent years, some people have begun to have to leave, leave Boiling Water City, go to a place where there is no one, go to a place where even if they die, they will not be found by humans, and wait for death alone.
The most is to choose to disappear into the tide when the tide comes, and there will be no bones left.
Old Dolly has seen his own future, and the future of the dragons in the city.
At present, only the dragon clan in Boiling Water City is slowly dying, but few dragon clans are replenished, after all, compared to the orthodox Golden Dragon King, it is impossible for such a small group of rebels to recruit a large number of dragon clans.
The dragons in Boiling Water City are dwindling, and many of their former companions are no longer there......
If we can't change the current situation, it will be a few years...... The dragons here will wither away.
"Elder. โ
An old man walked in and sent a piece of information to old Dolly, "That kid went around today, but he didn't do anything, he ate and left." โ
Old Dolly glanced at the concise information and smiled bitterly, "This kid is making full use of our information, these families...... I don't know what exactly he wants to do. โ
"Our people heard...... There seemed to be a noise in his house, and then he came out to the feast. โ
Old Dolly just nodded, not surprised at all, or didn't react at all, but said: "This kid never seems to be at peace, and now I just hope that he will not trouble us, people like him...... I'm sure I'll be killed soon. โ
The old man listened and nodded, he has lived in Boiling Water City for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of people, and a restless guy like Tian Xian can naturally get the attention and appreciation of many people, but it is also easy to offend people, and the matter of being secretly set up should come soon.
The old man hesitated a little, looked at the worried old Dolly, and stopped talking.
"What's the matter, tell me. "Old Dolly and the old man in front of him have been friends for many years, and they can talk about everything.
The old man sighed, "I think, if it goes on like this, it's not a way after all." โ
"I don't know. Old Dolly sighed, "There are fewer and fewer old fellows like us. โ
"I wondered, can I take advantage of this kid ......"
Old Dolly shook his head directly, "It's too dangerous, we can only coax him now, we can do whatever he wants, we will try to satisfy whatever he wants, we can't annoy him, and we can't get too close to him, such a dangerous person, too close, we are going to be implicated, wait for him to disappear by himself." โ
After thinking about it, Old Dolly's face became a little more solemn, "Once something goes wrong with this kid, he will definitely think of using us, let's prepare early, don't bury him at that time." โ
The old man was silent, sighed for a while, and turned to leave.
Looking at his old friend for many years looking lonely, Old Dolly was not happy in his heart, "Come back...... If you have something to say, you will leave. โ
The old man stopped and smiled wryly, "Forget it, this kid...... Like you said, it's better to wait for him to disappear. โ
Old Dolly also smiled bitterly: "When you come back, you can have a cup of tea with me at that time, anyway...... We don't have much to do. โ
The two old dragons who said this sentence were slightly sour in their hearts, and at their age, they no longer had to go out to work, and the main thing every day was to coordinate intelligence and take care of a group of young people.
But it was really unpleasant to watch yourself and your people grow old, and then have to leave one after another, looking for a place where no one was waiting to die.
Moreover, after many old friends have left one after another, they don't have a lot of time left.
The old man shook his head helplessly and walked back, "Yes, I'll go back...... It's just sitting idle, waiting for the children to hand over the information, and we, the old guys, are getting more and more useless. โ
The two old dragons sat down and drank sullen tea.
The more you drink the wine, the sweeter it becomes, the more you drink the tea, the more bitter it becomes, the old man drinks the tea, and feels that the bitterness overflows from his heart, and it is simply unbearable for himself to be bitter.
"Smack!"
The old man slapped the teacup on the table, "Elder, even if we die, we can't die like this! When the time comes, the Golden Dragon King will definitely laugh when he knows that we are dead, saying that this is a bunch of fools! I don't know where I deserve to die until we die!"
Old Dolly's cheeks twitched, and his eyebrows and eyes squeezed together, "What do you want to do so that you don't have to be a bag." โ
The old man stood up and said excitedly: "Just use that kid! Isn't he the red man in front of the eyes of the great lord Ivan? Isn't he the messenger of the Golden Dragon King? As long as we ...... it."
After a few quick words in Old Dolly's ear, the old man raised his head, his expression was still very excited, "How is it?"
After hearing this, Old Dolly's face was extremely solemn, "This is equivalent to handing over our fate to others." โ
"We're already out of the woods!"
This sentence stung old Dolly, who was full of spirit when he first came to Boiling Water City, and he didn't think that this would be the situation today.
Pursing his lips tightly, Old Dolly said with difficulty: "At least...... We should have a last resort. โ
The old man took two steps back and forth, and said quickly: "His family! He is not alone! Relatives and friends, aren't there two women beside him? That Amuron is also there! We definitely have a chance! We can't sit still." โ
Old Dolly stared at his old friend, whose eyes flashed with an almost fanatical light, and stared at Old Dolly.
A long standoff.
......
Eventually, Old Dolly slowly lowered his gaze, and suddenly seemed to be much older, "Okay, okay...... But plan well, and once you annoy that kid, you should understand the consequences. โ
The old man said in a slightly trembling voice, "I know, I already have a plan. โ
Old Dolly was a little surprised, "There is already a plan?"
"Amuronte, she's the best candidate. โ
Old Duoli frowned suddenly, "She was cultivated by the Golden Dragon King, and later swore an oath to follow that kid, no matter what, it has nothing to do with us, not to mention that we hurt her at the beginning." โ
"It's okay......" the old man took a deep breath, "I know her weakness, a very obvious weakness. โ
