Chapter XVIII Baron's Palace
Baron Fanta is one of the twenty-three hereditary nobles in the vicinity of the Horn Forest, and the Fanta family has lived near the Horn Forest for nearly six hundred years after the opening of the northern frontier by the Hadma Empire.
Over the course of six hundred years, Baron Fanta has not only built a fortified castle, but also a palatial mansion in the Emerald City.
The Baron's Mansion occupies a vast area, and the tall walls enclose the mansion and keep danger out.
Because of the years of war with the orcs, the Barony's realm is very unsafe in winter. Therefore, in the past hundred years, Baron Fanta has put the main direction of development in the Emerald City.
Led by Baroness Tedley, Donne's team easily entered the side entrance of the Baron's Palace.
Under Dietri's attention, the maid was soon served a tender steak and a bottle of aperitif.
The people moved all night, and after the fierce battle, they did not eat.
Smelling the delicious food and looking at the tender and juicy lamb chops, Don couldn't help but suppress his saliva and prepared to munch on it.
Bruce took the lead and was about to tear the steak off.
I saw Lucia stealthily kick his calf, and quietly probed the magic probe needle into the food, she looked at the scale of the probe needle, and whispered: "There is no poison, the food is safe." ”
What happened today made Lucia very vigilant, even if she was safe now, she did not lose her vigilance.
Although she was relatively hidden, she was still discovered by Tedria on the spot.
Seeing that Tedri's eyes were slightly red, she was a little embarrassed.
Marianda had no choice but to relieve the siege and said: "Don't resent her, we are now frightened birds, somewhat suspicious." It's not aimed at you, I hope you don't mind. ”
Bruce on the side stretched out his hands, squeezed Dedrier's small hand hard, and shook his head quietly.
The lover is here, and Dietria is not easy to pursue, so she returned to her room alone with an unhappy face.
The people did not drink wine, but devoured all the food.
In less than a moment, Dietria appeared in front of everyone with Richard, the butler of the Baron's Palace.
Richard looked to be in his fifties, his face was very white and neat, his beard was well cropped, and he looked very shrewd and capable.
"Uncle Richard, my friend is in trouble and wants to borrow the Baron's Mansion to get out of the city. I'm a baroness, but I don't know where the secret passages are, so can you do me a favor and get them out of the city. Tedrley didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
"Every hereditary nobleman has this kind of secret passage out of the city, and once this secret passage is discovered by outsiders, it will become a hidden danger in the Baron's Palace. Although I am not a member of the Fanta family, I have also worked for the Baron's Court for forty years, and I will never betray the secrets of the Baron's Court. Besides, they don't have any friendship with me, so why should I help?" said the baron's butler with a cold smile.
"This person's name is Bruce, and you know his relationship with me, and I can pay anything for this person. If I'm going to lose him, I'm going to go crazy. Once I'm mad, I'm going to the Ice Church to expose your plots. Tedri's eyes widened and she roared frantically.
"It's true that a man has forgotten his father, and Redno has no news so far, so you are not in a hurry at all. For the sake of a wild man, you actually threatened your own uncle. Since you are not afraid of being burned to death by the church, go and snitch!" Richard sarcastically said as if he was not afraid of his niece's threat.
"My father is missing, and I'm anxious, but now Bruce's situation is more dangerous. Old Barry and Bob are frantically looking for him, and once they find him, Bruce will not survive, and I can only get Bruce out of danger first. Tedria cried helplessly.
"Why did Bruce offend Bob?" asked Richard with a grim face.
"As required by Rednor, I have prepared my magic weapon and am preparing to propose to Dudli today. My companions and I had just entered the gates of the city when we were attacked by members of the Thieves' Guild. We killed our opponents, but were robbed of our magic weapon, the Snakehorn Bow, and in order to reclaim the Snakehorn Bow, we raided the Flaming Red Lips Hotel in the middle of the night, killing three more of them, including Langton, the leader of the 4th Brigade of the City Defense. Bruce went through the situation.
"You're a baroness, there's no way the Fanta family will let you marry this little deflated, and Redno won't agree to that. Richard shook his head.
"Although Bruce's status is far inferior to that of the Baron, the strength of the Dragon's Horn Mercenary Regiment is far superior to that of the Baron's Mansion. Seeing that the baron's butler insulted Bruce, Don immediately retorted unhappily.
"Langton is Cobbert's lackey, you killed Langton and offended Coubert, and the Baron's Court can't protect you at all. Richard glanced at Dietrich and said solemnly.
Marianda glanced at Richard thoughtfully and said: "Time is very tight, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, as long as we can do it, we will never shirk it, you can't go around in circles like this at all." ”
"I've heard that witches are unusually intelligent, and what I saw with my own eyes today is indeed worthy of its name. Richard said with a smile.
"My brother Redno has been gone for four days, and as long as you can get Rednor back, I promise to get you out of the city safely. Richard said directly.
"Where is Rednor being held?" said Marianda.
"The specific location should be in the city defense military prison. Richard affirmed.
"How do you find out if there's anything wrong with the information?" Donn asked.
"I'm a level 5 assassin, our brother is twins, and I have a mysterious sense of non-existence, and I sensed his aura near the city defense military prison. Richard said with an appreciative look at everyone.
"How's Rednor?" Bruce asked first.
"There should be no danger to life. Richard replied unconvinced.
"The city guard prison is heavily guarded, and we are not absolutely sure that we will be able to rescue Rednor. Marianda said with a meaningful look at Richard.
"As long as you save people with me, whether you succeed or not, I will try to get you out of the city. Richard looked at Marianda seriously and said happily.
"What time to act?" Don asked, looking into Marianda's eyes.
"Rest for fifteen minutes, treat your wounds, and act immediately. Marianda patted Donn on the shoulder and said decisively.
"Why don't you take a little more rest?" asked Lucia, confused.
"Now that Barry, Bob and others are looking for us all over the city, their forces have actually dispersed, and this is the time when the success of saving people is the most assured. Don patted Lucia on the shoulder and explained.
"Old Barry, Bob are all small people, the key person is still Cowbett, I don't know what this city defense commander wants to do?" said Marianda with a cautious face, muttering to herself.
