"Since Snowland is so concerned about the affairs of our Cold Mountain Territory, then maybe we should express our opinion. Fonner thought for a moment, avoiding answering the question directly, "However, at the moment I am coming in secret, I'm afraid it is not suitable to meet with the other party directly, Chief Rodney, do you have any good suggestions?"

Rodney was not at all surprised by Funner's attitude of returning the problem to himself, for no seasoned politician would be tempted to do so until things became clear.

"That's not easy, and as far as I'm concerned, I don't want the people of Snowron to know about your visit to Vortagen. Rodney spread his hands, looking helpless, "If you ask me to tell the other party, then it can be said that it is a correspondence, but if it is another way, then I really can't think of it." ”

Funner frowned, he could see that Rodney was forcing him to make a statement, and now, Fonter had to give Rodney a clear answer, either for the sake of Vortagan and confronting Snowlen, or this time the cooperation between the two sides would have to be declared a failure.

"I see, I need to let the Duke decide this matter. In the end, Fang Na had no choice but to use the most helpless trick to delay the time for reply.

"I thought you could have full authority over these matters. Rodney gave Fonner a deep and thoughtful look, "But, since you say so, please give me an answer later." ”

"Will the Vortagan Collar be able to maintain its position during this time?" Fonner asked suddenly.

"It's hard to say, after all, Lord Snowman's kindness, whether it is out of the friendship between the two parties for many years, or for the sake of the future, it is not convenient for Lord Ackerman and I to refuse. Rodney stood up and gestured to end the conversation, "So, I can't say if this time is enough." ”

Fonner silently watched Rodney leave, a slight frustration in his heart. Although he is known as the wise general of the cold mountain leader, as soon as he arrived in Futagan City, he was dismounted by Rodney, which is not comfortable for Fang Na.

"Really, this old man, it's still so annoying. ”

——————————————————

Rodney's time away from the Black Rock Palace was the most comfortable time for Ackerman, at least during this time, he didn't feel like someone was watching him.

However, this time is also very rare, after all, Rodney has not left the Blackstone Palace very often.

However, as if deliberately not to make Ackerman too comfortable, not long after Rodney left, several officials from the Blackstone Palace came to the studio to find Ackerman.

"Snowlon's request for a note?" Ackerman frowned, staring at the unfamiliar officer in front of him, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Just now, the Father Watt suddenly sent someone to make a request. The clerk bowed his head deeply, as if he was very respectful, "Because Master Rodney is not here, this matter still needs you to decide. ”

"Oh......" Ackerman returned his gaze to the canvas and didn't answer right away. But in his heart, his mind is quite lively, after all, this is a rare opportunity, if he can avoid Rodney and let him do this on his own, then whether Snowlen wants to see him or not, he can use this matter to establish a certain prestige for himself, without having to look at Rodney's face in everything.

"By the way, did the manager say what he was out for?" Ackerman asked inadvertently.

"It seems like a very important thing, but we don't know exactly what it is. The officer's attitude was still humble.

"Oh, that's right. Ackerman nodded, knowing he shouldn't be able to ask anything.

Until he is unsure of what Rodney is going to do when he leaves the Black Rock Palace, Ackerman is not going to act rashly.

"Send someone to inform the Governor, and then let the Snowren Mission send someone over first, and when the Governor returns, we can listen to what the other party has to say. ”

"Yes. The clerk still kept his head down, but he understood what Ackerman was thinking, obviously, he wanted to inform the Rodney and Snowren missions at the same time, so as not to distract Rodney and disappoint the Snowren mission, and even, he wanted to go one step further and take advantage of the time difference to contact the Snowren mission before Rodney returned.

"Please also sign this letter. The clerk handed Ackerman a document that had been prepared long ago.

"What is this?" Ackerman didn't answer, but poked his head out from behind the canvas and looked at the clerk suspiciously.

"Because the other party is submitting an official diplomatic note, you need to sign the note letter in person. The clerk replied.

"That's right. Ackerman nodded, he was not so familiar with these specific copywriting matters.

He put down his paintbrush, took the letter and quills from the officer, pressed them on the clean canvas, and quickly signed his name.

"Thank you, sir. The clerk took the letter that Ackerman had rehanded him, and saluted Ackerman very solemnly.

The other party's serious appearance aroused some interest in Ackerman.

"You're a bit of a naïve, I think I've seen you a few times around Rodney, but I don't know your name. Ackerman looked at the clerk with interest, "I think you seem to be a very capable person, such a person should not be unknown. ”

The affairs officer hesitated for a moment, but still retracted the steps he was about to take, and replied to Ackerman: "Don't dare to be your false praise, my lord, my name is Manan, and I was just transferred to the Black Stone Palace some time ago. ”

"And where did you do it before?" Ackerman asked.

"Outside the city, my lordship, I'm in charge of patrolling the territory. ”

"It was really hard work. Ackerman glanced at Manan a few more times, then nodded slowly, "I'm sorry for you, Mr. Manan, go and ask the friend we brought from Snowlen to come over." ”

"Yes, sir. Manan turned and walked towards the door. But when he got to the door, he didn't go out, but closed the door of the studio.

Ackerman had just lifted the paintbrush when he heard the sound of the door closing, and he couldn't help but raise his head again, looking at Manan with a look of doubt and dissatisfaction.

However, before he could open his mouth to ask a question, he felt a tingling in his neck, and then the whole person lost consciousness.

Manan walked over to Ackerman, who had fallen to the ground, and stood alongside the gray-robed man who had appeared behind Ackerman unknowingly.

"How long will your lethargy last?"

"Long enough for him to never wake up. The gray-robed man replied indifferently, "Don't worry, at least for this time, he won't wake up, and he won't be able to interfere with our plans." ”

"I hope so. Manan nodded, frowning at the same time, "Speed up and try to get these things done before Lord Rodney returns." ”

"I know. The gray-robed man nodded, and then beckoned a group of gray-robed men from all corners of the studio. The followers of the Black Sheep Society silently lifted Ackerman, who had fainted on the ground, into a large box, and then carried it out along with the box.

The rest of the people were not idle, they took advantage of this moment to quickly clean up the studio, and made a mess of the studio, making it look like a scene of fierce struggle and fighting.

Manan took out the document that Ackerman had just signed and chanted a spell on Ackerman's front. Under the effect of the magical spells in Manan's mouth, Ackerman's signature gradually fell off the paper and turned into ink that kept Ackerman's signature glyph, and Manan quickly took out another document and made Ackerman's signature stick it automatically.

"That's it. Manan flicked the document in his hand lightly, "In this way, Ackerman's letter inviting the Snoren mission to enter the Black Stone Palace is available, as long as this is sent to the Snoren mission, the plan is basically completed, and then we just need to wait patiently." ”

"yes, that's easy. Seeing the invitation letter signed by Ackerman, the gray-robed man couldn't help laughing, "I guess Ackerman would never have thought that he signed a fatal signature for himself, right?"

Manan smiled and nodded, then handed the invitation to one of his subordinates. "Quickly send this to Father Watt at the Snorren Mission. ”

The subordinate took the letter that Manan had given him, put it in his bosom cautiously, and then left the studio quickly.

"It's pretty much the same here. "Seeing that Manan has finished his business, the gray-robed man is ready to leave.

"I hope it's going well for you too. Manan said casually.

The gray-robed man walked out of the door and waved his hand, which was regarded as accepting Manan's blessing.

Because of the preparations, the servants in the Blackstone Palace had already been assigned by Rodney, because the gray-robed people walked all the way with the large boxes containing Ackerman, and no one saw them. Of course, this is limited to the Blackstone Palace, once they leave the Blackstone Palace, they will still be discovered by the mercenaries who come to the Blackstone Palace from time to time to make trouble.

So, instead of going out through the main entrance, they changed their attire and left through the tunnels of the Black Stone Palace.

Almost all castles will have such tunnels, the owner of the castle will always leave a way back for himself when he is cornered, of course, the tunnels of the Black Stone Palace are a little different from the tunnels of ordinary castles, as a stronghold of the Black Sheep Club, the tunnels here are more used to do some shady things.

The gray-robed people disguised themselves as a group of people, so that even if they carried a large box through the market, at most they were thought to be moving from house to house, so they just found someone to carry things.

For this reason, these Black Sheep followers also specially got a trolley that matched the identity of the people, loaded the boxes on it and prepared to leave the city. Anyway, almost all the people in charge of the city are people from their Black Sheep Club, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have an accident.

However, the current city of Fotagen is in that abnormal situation.

Just as they were about to leave, the Grey-robed Man, as the leader, was suddenly contacted by a subordinate who had been arranged in the city.

When the Cuckoo ...... discovered that the magic crystal showed the magic signal of his subordinate codenamed Cuckoo, the gray-robed man couldn't help but frown deeply, he remembered that this subordinate had been sent to spy on Arnold.

Although he was very disgusted by such an accident, the gray-robed man still had patience and activated the magic crystal.

"Report it, cuckoo. ”

Although his tone was indifferent, the voice coming from the magic crystal made it impossible for him to keep his composure immediately.

"What, Arnold went to see Puran alone!" the gray-robed man was furious and scolded in front of many of his subordinates, "Are you all rubbish?" Did you let him swagger to church like that?bastard, I know he's going to see Snowlon's men, why don't you stop him!"

The gray-robed man's face became more and more gloomy, and he was no longer in the mood to listen to the cuckoo's explanation.

"Go and stop him at once, whatever you do, if you don't want Lord Rodney to screw your head off, get that kid back for me at once!"

The gray-robed man angrily closed the magic crystal, and with his remaining anger still gone, he swept towards the other subordinates with extremely stern eyes.

"You guys, take Ackerman to the second location, watch out for me, if anyone makes a mistake like the cuckoo, you know the outcome!"

Of course, these subordinates did not dare to disobey the will of their superiors, and immediately took action.

"Now......" the gray-robed man glanced at his folk attire in disgust, "I need to go to church." ”
