Chapter 17: Tedley
Marianda clearly knew that only four people knew about this secret stronghold, and apart from herself, only her husband Allen, the head of the regiment, Tang Deli, the team's logistics officer, and her own guardian knight Katerrod knew about this secret stronghold.
Katrod is his own guardian knight, and he has already made an oath under the crown of knights, and he will follow and protect him for the rest of his life.
Once you break your oath, you will be severely punished by the Church of the God of Knights.
Moreover, Marianda knew in her heart that Catrod had deep feelings for her, even if she married Ellen, he had no complaints and continued to protect herself without regrets.
There was obviously some conspiracy in this operation, and Old Barry and the others must have figured it all out. If it weren't for Don desperately blocking an arrow, I'm afraid that Lucia's life might not be saved.
Lucia is not only her best friend, but also a promising magician.
As long as she can grow up smoothly, Lucia will definitely be able to become a gold-level archmage.
A promising magician, Lucia is also a well-known figure in the Emerald City. If Lucia is eliminated, not only will she be able to break her own arm, but she will also reduce a future threat.
If Lucia is lost today, even if Marianda kills three professionals, it will do more harm than good.
Whether it is Allen or Dondeley plotting against himself, it is a very serious crisis.
It was clear that the situation was already dire, and Marianda looked worried along the way.
Several people walked quickly to Dadley's secret stronghold.
The group arrives in a small, secluded room, which is Dadri's secret stronghold.
Bruce grabbed Dadri's little hand tightly and asked, "As we agreed, meet at the spa square today, why would those damn bugs know this?"
"I have already taken our dowry and am about to propose to you, why didn't your father Rednor show up today? We just arrived at the city gate, and we were attacked by a sneak attack, if it weren't for Donn's quick reaction, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. Bruce's eyes were full of pain, and he cried out with grief.
"Barry planted a nail next to me, my father has been missing for days. If I don't find out about Barry's conspiracy today, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet. Dudrley stared at Bruce tightly, her eyes calm.
"Today's action was clearly aimed at us, and the original idea should have been to get rid of me and Bruce. I didn't expect them to underestimate the two of us, so they would lose manpower. Don covered his wound and said with a frown.
"That's right, Barry Sr. is clearly prepared. But he overestimated himself and underestimated his opponents, especially Donn. ”
"Don En advanced in the last battle, and both his vitality and mental power have improved. In the first attack, he underestimated Don En, and relied on Don to react quickly to block the sneak attack of the throwing knife, and then Bruce cooperated with the tacit understanding to kill and injure the thief. ”
"The second time, it was Don who blocked two magic feather arrows to keep Lucia out of danger. Bruce was silent for a moment, then carefully analyzed.
"Don's ability The backbone of the mercenary group is already clear, and the reason why Old Barry underestimated him is probably because of incomplete intelligence. The traitors of the mercenary group must not be of the same mind as Old Barry, so they deliberately omitted information so that we could kill each other. Marianda looked at the dark night sky and said in a deep voice.
"Tedrly, tell me explicitly, are you a member of the Thieves' Guild?" Bruce said as he stared at Tedrish's eyes, his face full of seriousness.
"Yes, my father joined the Thieves' Guild early on, and was the second silver thief besides Old Barry. It was as if Didri had decided to have a showdown, and she told the truth.
"So, your marriage to the old baron is also a conspiracy of the thieves' guild. Bruce then asked.
"This is not a plan of the thieves' union, but my father's plan. As we all know, thieves are maggots in the dark and have little place in the Emerald City at all. If my father hadn't committed a great crime and became a wanted criminal in the empire, he would have found a way to clear his name and become a rightful nobleman. ”
"The reason why I married the aging Baron Dafen was all arranged by Rednor. Three months after our wedding, he quietly assassinated the old baron, so that he could secretly manipulate the baron's forces behind his back," Dietria swallowed, and continued.
"Does the old baron have any Barry in the house?" asked Donne, his eyes lit up.
"My uncle Richard joined the Barons Court at an early age and eventually became the steward of the Barons' Court. They are going to kill the baron to inherit the title after I give birth to the baron's heir. Unexpectedly, the baron was very shrewd and discovered the anomaly very early, so they had to preemptively kill the baron. I married into the Baron's family, and I had nothing to do with Old Barry, and I don't know if Old Barry had installed an internal response in the Baron's Palace. Tedley said as she brushed her hair.
"Baron Dafen is one of the twenty-three hereditary nobles of the Emerald City, and although his power has weakened in the past hundred years, he still has some background. How many elite soldiers and how many professional warriors are there in the Baron's family?" Lucia asked with a narrowing of her cute little eyes.
"Although I married into the Baron's Court, I don't have much influence in the Baron's family. The Baron family has only three professionals on the surface, but in fact there is a part of the hidden power. There are more than 100 armored cavalry in the baron's family, and he also secretly controls a gang in the Emerald City. Dudley whispered.
"Rednor is missing, can you control his power?" Donn then asked.
"No, my father is a bit withdrawn in the thieves' union, relying on his silver-level strength to become the vice president of the union, he doesn't have much direct power in the union. And my uncle Richard had a gloomy personality and would not listen to anyone but my father. Tedley shook her head and said.
"Will old Barry be suspicious of you?" asked Marianda with a gloomy face.
"I don't know, old Barry is a deep man, and since he has planted a nail next to me, I'm afraid he will suspect me. Tedril thought for a moment and said affirmatively.
"I can't stay here, and Barry Sr. is undoubtedly more scheming than Tedley. This hidden stronghold, I'm afraid that it will be discovered by Old Barry a long time ago, so we will leave immediately and change places. Marianda shook her head and said decisively.
"Where are we going?" asked Bruce, confused.
"Go to the Baron's mansion in the city. As an old nobleman, the Baron's family must have a secret passage out of the city, let's go out from the secret passage and return to the Shadow Castle as soon as possible. Marianda said firmly.
"Now that there is an inner ghost, the Shadow Castle is no longer very safe, should you scout and make a decision?" asked Don after a careful thought.
"I want to ask Alan personally, who is the mole?" said Marianda's eyes brighter and firmer.
