Chapter 10: The Count of Ollie

Sleta pleaded, "Lord Guard, my brother and I are from the village, and we really don't have much money... Can the entrance fee be cheaper?"

The guard was about to refuse, but when he saw Sleta's young face, he couldn't help but soften, and when he looked left and right, he saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, yes, if I wasn't from a village, I wouldn't have agreed to your matter... 2 copper coins are fine. ”

"Thank you, Guard!"

After Xu Mu and Sleta paid the fee and got the city card, they successfully entered the town.

Sleta smiled and said to Xu Mu: "Brother, we are from a poor village, if we take out five copper coins without hesitation, it may make people suspicious, even if he will not reduce our entrance fees to the city, then we have to pretend." ”

Xu Mu smiled softly and touched Sleta's head, sometimes he had to admire Sleta's carefulness, she was too attentive to the things around her, or should I say too sensitive.

The two of them put their hoods back on and began their mission for the day.

The town is noticeably better managed than Gothtown, and the streets are not clean, at least not as muddy as Gothtown.

From time to time, there are city patrol guards patrolling the roadside, and the atmosphere is a little weird.

But the people of the town don't look very small.

"Brother, these guards seem to be a little nervous. Apparently she had only walked a few streets before she encountered three teams of patrol guards, and Sleta couldn't help but whisper.

"Indeed..."

"Brother, what are we doing now?"

"Let's go to Sister Lu's mansion first, and then find a hotel to stay in and find out the news. ”

Xu Mu remembered the map that Ai Lu drew for her in her mind, and came to the residence of the Ai Lu family with ease.

The palace is decorated like a palace, with a round pool fountain in the atrium, an iron fence on the perimeter, beautiful vegetation, and even two armored guards standing guard at the door.

Xu Mu frowned, looked up at the inside of the mansion, and even saw a few figures through the window.

"Is this where my sister used to live?"

"Some questions... Why is there still so many people in her house now, even if there are guards, it shouldn't be..."Xu Mu saw the mental outlook of the two guards at the door, not like idleness, but a little nervous.

"Brother?" Sleta looked at Xu Mu.

"Let's get out of here first. ”

The two of them were about to look for a hotel near the street, and as they were looking, there was some noise in the distance of the street, and the street floor even trembled a little.

It turned out to be an array of troops, and the first to start were two knights, the mighty knights, riding horses with heraldic cloaks.

Then two rows of guards walked, followed by a large carriage with a beautiful decoration and a flag on it.

The flag is embroidered with a golden noble coat of arms.

Xu Mu hurriedly took Sleta's hand and came to the side of the street, waiting for the formation team to pass.

Sleta looked at the coat of arms on the team's body, and her eyes couldn't hide her desire: "This is the noble coat of arms... My sister told me. ”

"Yes. ”

"The people in the carriage are nobles?"

"Yes. ”

"What a spirit... I don't know if Sreta will have this day in the future. ”

Xu Mu smiled and rubbed Sleta's head again: "When this matter is over, my brother will find a way for you in the future." ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

The formation marched by, and the vendors and passers-by on the street came to both sides and bowed their heads to salute.

It wasn't until the team left that the people around them breathed a sigh of relief.

"After Count Ollie came here, he always felt that the environment of the town was much worse than before..."

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, I'm not afraid of being hung on the torture table!"

...

Hearing the cautious conversation of the surrounding crowd, Xu Mu was interested in the name of this Earl of Ollie, and it seemed that the change of the Ailu family had some connection with this earl.

Originally, Xu Mu thought that the Ai Lu family would be watched, but after being empty for such a long time, it should be more desolate.

But just after seeing the condition of the mansion, the spring is still running, and the plants and trees have been repaired, and it does not look like it has been left empty for a long time.

I also want things to be simpler this time, if there is no one in the Ailu family, he sneaks in to find the secret room and take out the things, but now I feel that most of the previous plans have to be scrapped.

Xu Mu and Sleta came to a nearby hotel to stay, and the two ordered some local food in the lobby on the first floor.

The trio hadn't eaten much in town since the beginning of the month, only on prepared dry food or out to hunt for food, and Sreta hadn't eaten delicious food for a long time.

Seeing Sleta eating happily, Xu Mu's irritable mood was also soothed.

"Brother, why don't you eat it?"

"I'm thinking about something. ”

"What are you thinking about entering my sister's house?"

"Hmm..." Xu Mu leaned back in the chair, holding his side face with one hand, and his eyes turned to the side: "It's not a question of how to get in now." I have some bad premonitions in my heart, and I always feel that things are not so simple... It seems that there is something that your sister deer has not confessed to me. ”

Sreta blinked, "That... Do you want to continue with my sister's commission?"

"It's all here, let's understand it first, and then look at the situation. ”

However, at this moment, the guest sitting in the lobby suddenly complained: "Count Ollie raided several commoners' houses yesterday, and I don't know when it will be my turn." ”

The innkeeper's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly came over and booed: "Guest, can you be quiet... Even if it's a discussion, don't be in my little shop..."

The guest glanced left and right and sighed: "Boss, if I didn't say you, wouldn't you be afraid that it would be your turn?"

"So what can I do... The people are nobles, and since the accident of the Marquis of Aiqi, the situation of the town has become worse and worse, and now there are few guests..."The innkeeper's long-standing resentment was finally released: "In the future, it will be no surprise that Count Ollie will take over this town." By the way, Count Ollie was looking for something in town? ”

"Who knows, how can we understand that the aristocracy is acting and only wants to spare the lives of us citizens who eat in the towns... After those civilians were raided yesterday, they casually threw some coins... It's really amazing. ”

Listening to the complaints of the guests and the innkeeper, Xu Mu couldn't help but guess that the Count of Ollie in their mouths should not have the same goal as him, right?

As for where the secret room was, Xu Mu naturally knew that it was the secret door in the bedroom of Ai Lu's house.

Xu Mu gritted his teeth, it seems that the Ailu family has to break through!

Others have a sense of reverence for the nobility, and it can even be said that they are afraid. But Xu Mu didn't care about the so-called aristocracy at all, they all carried a head on their shoulders, and a status class wanted to restrict his ideological concepts.

"Gotta find a way to get into your sister deer's house. ”

Sleta asked, "Is there any good way for my brother to get in?"

"Not for the time being..."Xu Mu thought of something, and replied lightly: "If there is a set of guard armor... It might be more convenient. ”

Sleta's eyes lit up, "Shall we steal one then?"

"This is not a good estimate, this side is not as good as Goth Town, and there is a big gap in the state of the guards..."

"Then let the blacksmith score play a similar set?"

"How can a decent set of armor be made in a few days, and the blacksmith shop may not be willing, after all..."Xu Mu didn't blame Sresta for his whimsy, it was normal for Sleta not to know anything about blacksmiths.

"That's... Shall we grab a set?"

Grab a set?

Xu Mu's eyes lit up, because he had too many concerns, and he could indeed grab a set, but there were also drawbacks and difficulties.

On the one hand, the Town Watch is not in the habit of acting alone, and if they want to rob only one person, they have to find a way. On the other hand, if the town is missing a guard, something could happen if it is discovered after a long time... Especially if Xu Mu really wants to make a move, he is not ready to keep his hand, if he stuns the guards, he may wake up at any time, even if he is tied up, it is a hidden danger. Since you have made a move, it is better to kill it directly!

However, the biggest drawback is the lack of guards, but if the guards of the town wake up, once the city is locked down, they will not be able to get out.

So if you want to grab a set of armor, you have to act quickly!

Seeing that Xu Mu already had an idea in her heart, Sleta didn't speak again, but lowered her head and continued to pull the food.

It's about to fall into the night.

Xu Mu and Sleta came to the vicinity of Ailu's house again, and this time Xu Mu noticed that the armor of the guards at the gate was somewhat different from the armor of the town patrol guards.

The armor of the guard at the gate has the coat of arms of today's carriage, and it seems that it is the retinue of the Count of Ollie's family, and if you want to enter the house freely, it seems that you must get a set of guard armor with the coat of arms of the Count of Ollie.

Xu Mu thought for a while, and asked casually: "Sleta, how do you say to get those two guards to get out of the single action?"

Sleta thought for a moment, "Wait for them to go to the toilet in a hurry?"

Xu Mu was faintly speechless.

Sreta seemed to know that her answer was a little funny, after all, the guards had someone to replace them when they went to the bathroom: "Actually, Sreta has a way, but it feels a little difficult." ”

"Oh? ”

"We can forge official documents and transfer one of the guards to act, so that the other guard will not be suspicious of the small number of people, let alone strange. ”

Xu Mu looked at Sleta with interest: "Go on." ”

"But the difficulty is how to forge official documents, Sleta has never seen what official documents are like... Have you seen it, brother?"

Xu Mu thought of something, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he sneered: "My brother hasn't seen it yet, but if I haven't seen it, I won't forge official documents... Transferring guards is not just a means of official documents. ”

"Brother?" Sleta looked at Xu Mu strangely.

"Sleta, my brother will take you to buy a nice set of clothes, how about it? ”

Sreta blinked: "Of course Sreta wants beautiful clothes, but what does my brother want?"

Xu Mu took Sleta's little hand and turned around and left: "I'll tell you later, now I'll find a clothing store that hasn't closed yet!"

Seeing that Xu Mu was so anxious, Sleta couldn't say anything, but of course she was happy to have new clothes to wear, and she had been with Xu Mu for a month, and she knew that Xu Mu had a lot of coins on her. Although Ai Lu always said that Xu Mu was an iron rooster and a dead miser, she still knew that Xu Mu was never stingy where to spend money, since she said that she would buy her beautiful clothes, the price of the clothes would definitely not be low!
