Chapter 330: The Mysterious Key (2)
However, Ron did not interrupt Caesar's statement and let the latter continue.
"The old leader didn't die of his wounds, the person who killed the old leader was Brooks. Caesar's voice was low: "I got up in the middle of the night and was in a bit of a hurry, and I happened to pass by the cave where the old chief was, and I heard their conversation outside, and Brooks asked the old leader for the key in a threatening tone, but the old leader not only did not say anything, but also deliberately humiliated Brooks with words, and he killed the old leader in a fit of rage. The next day, the old leader's body was thrown outside the camp by us, and finally turned into the monster it is now. ”
"Do you know what the hell is the origin of this key?" Ron looked at Caesar, "Then why did you wake me up and give me this key?
"Mr. Ron, I'm not kidding, when we were about to be exiled, the people in the palace searched the place where we lived, and they should have been looking for this key, as for what it is for, I really don't know, maybe it is to open some treasure, or some secret door. Caesar's eyes looked directly at Ron: "Mr. Ron, you are different from those other adventurers, I can feel that you really want to help us, after Brooks became the leader of the camp, the best food, the cleanest drinking water, and the supplies for the winter were all gathered by him and distributed by him, and the people who were in the same faction as him before also got considerable benefits, but those old men and women could only wait for death in winter, I don't want this key to fall into the hands of that miscellaneous person." ”
"In that case, why don't you resist?" Ron asked.
"Resist, how can we resist, with stones, with branches?" Caesar smiled bitterly, "The few swords in the camp, as well as sharp wooden swords, handmade crossbow arrows, etc., have been collected by Brooks and distributed to his cronies, which is to prevent us from resisting." ”
"Mr. Jack should have told you that this Brooks wants to attack a Bosrigga camp, right? Caesar looked at Ron: "Mr. Ron, if you take this first, you adventurers should have a space ring, you can hide this key, this can be regarded as a small revenge on Brooks." ”
With a movement of his mind, Ron took the key back into the space ring, "Then I'll take it first, as long as I don't open my mouth, no third person will know this secret, but if you want to find me in the future, it won't be so easy, and after this adventure is over, I will also return to the mainland." ”
Kaisar didn't speak, the huge Naga Sea, this moat, directly separated the mainland from Naga Island, for so many years, few people on Naga Island have been able to go to the mainland, and countless criminals on the mainland will also find a way to go to Naga Island to seek refuge and seek ideal freedom. If it weren't for the Space Teleportation Scroll, Ron probably wouldn't have come here for the rest of his life.
Ron also sympathized with these exiles, and it was unimaginable that the camp could still form the predative and exploit his companions, but it also gave Ron a glimpse of the predative side of the island of Bosrica.
"Mr. Ron, can you tell me about the Westheil Empire? I've only been to the main island once at most, and I can't imagine what the mainland is like. Caesar said suddenly.
"Wishal?" Ron shook his head and smiled slightly: "I'm not from the Wishale Empire, I've only been to Wishale once, and I almost lost my life, if I hadn't gone to Wishaler this time, I wouldn't have come here." You know the Deathfjord, right? I'm a magician from the Deathfjord. ”
"I know the Deathfjord, the southernmost part of the continent, near our Naga Sea? Caesar said.
"Not only are there frequent wars, but I have seen countless people die because of them. Ron sighed lightly, "Don't talk about this, as soon as you talk about it, it's a topic that makes people feel heavy." ”
"A word of advice, Caesar, I must tell you, that winter is not yet complete, and that the wounded in your camp, as well as the old men, women, and infants, may be blessed for a little longer, but when the winter is at its most bitter, they will surely die on your terms. Ron stared at Caesar: "I'm not joking, I'm not instigating you, resisting is death, waiting is death, I think, you should probably find a way to resist, since you were exiled here, you escaped the zombie attack, and also established a camp, I believe that you will not sit still, what to do after that, I think you should think clearly." ”
Caesar pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"That's all I have to say, we should go back too, it's too long to come out, it's not good for people to find out. Ron smiled.
The two quickly followed the plank back to the camp, and Caesar quietly pulled it up and set it up next to the camp gate, just as they had before they left.
"Mr. Ron, the people of Bosliga, are not so easy to deal with, you should be careful. Caesar gave Ron one last word, and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the camp.
Looking at Caesar's agile movements, a strange idea suddenly appeared in Ron's heart, this Caesar is a pretty good talent, quick movements, quick reactions, and more importantly, Ron saw in him a rare sincerity in this dark era, loyalty to superiors, benevolence to partners, and no mercy to the enemy, this is definitely a good material for being a soldier, but unfortunately Ron has no way to take him away from this exile camp, let alone take him back to the Deathfjord.
Time passed fairly quickly, an hour passed quickly, and Ron went to the sleeping bag of the next man to wake up the extremely reluctant Drasco.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frank, but I don't want to disturb your dreams, but I also want to rest. Ron shrugged helplessly.
"It's all right, Mr. Ron, go get some rest. Delansco dozed off, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and Ron even wondered if the guy could fall asleep again at any moment.
Running about Caesar and the ring to the back of his mind, and feeling the warmth of his sleeping bag again, Ron slowly closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
......
The Westheil Empire, the imperial capital.
After a bad journey, Rey, the prime minister of Wishal, returned to the imperial capital, belonging to his luxurious mansion, not long ago Princess Hedwig officially became the regent of Wieshal, all the people did not realize anything, but people who really know some politics understand that the actual ruler of Wishaler is now this handsome young prime minister Rey.
Rey was half-lying in his rocking chair in the bedroom, enjoying the rare afternoon sunshine, which was quite pleasant and comfortable in winter, when a slight footstep sounded outside the door.
Rey's eyes slowly opened, and he slowly stood up from his rocking chair.
Rey's room was quite well lit, with crystal clear magic crystals made of huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and Rey walked to the front of the window with his hands behind his back, from which he could see most of the corners of the Westheil Palace, as well as the magnificent city of Westhall outside the palace.
"Prime Minister, Captain Cole, who is in charge of gathering information, has returned. ”
The voice of the guard sounded outside the door.
"Let him in. Rey said without looking back.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and soon, a middle-aged man with a bald head came to Rey's bedroom, quickly took off the boots on his feet, changed into a pair of wooden shoes prepared for him by the guards at the door, and fell to the ground on his knees: "Prime Minister." A lot of the information you've asked me to gather has already been gathered. ”
"Just say it, I'll listen. Rey didn't turn around.
"Yes. The soldier named Cole hurriedly took out a few folded pieces of parchment from the inner lining of his armor and quickly unfolded them.
"After the Bonodon incident, although we quickly sealed the city gate and immediately began to search the city, we still did not find the relevant humans, but their identities were investigated, there are three accomplices related to the assassin, one is his guard, according to the clues provided by the owner of the auction house and the inn, this guard was the first to act with the assassins, his name is Will, and the other person is the United King of Rosa in the north- No, it was the half-breed of the lover of the province of Lothar, named Moses Karanskea Brunfelton, and there was Tyranna, which was sold at the auction house, and the three of them left first. ”
"Gone, where did you go? Deathfjord?" Rey asked in a deep voice.
"It's supposed to be the Fjord of Death. Cole whispered.
"What do you mean by that? You dare to say these three words in front of me?" Rey turned abruptly, his eagle-sharp eyes looking directly at Cole, "Do you want to accompany me here to see the scenery?"
Cole's body trembled violently, he didn't dare to meet Rey's gaze at all, and his voice began to tremble: "No, my lord, the soldiers who guarded the city gate at that time, because it was already late, did not see clearly that they left the city at that time, but many people did not leave the city, and there were not many people who left the south gate to go to the Death Fjord, they were all on horseback. ”
Cole certainly knew what Rey meant by looking at the scenery. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there were ropes bound to the heads of several people, and the blood on their necks had been dried, and among these people was Cole's predecessor.
"The soldiers on duty at the south gate that night were all executed. Rey said in a deep voice, "And the captain in charge of these soldiers, also killed." ”
"My lord, this ...... I ...... "Cole's head is almost on the ground.
"What, you still have something to say?"
"After all, these are soldiers of the Red Army, do you want to ask the general of the Red Army, Lord Qi Gefei, for this matter?"
"Oh, Wishal, did I give the order, or did Siegfried give the order?" Rey suddenly took a step forward.
There was a strange noise on Cole's body.
"Forget it, you go on. Rey suddenly turned around and walked back to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The guard guarding the door behind Cole could see very clearly that in the lower half of Cole's lower body, in the area near his buttocks, his pants suddenly became wet, and a circle of pale yellow marks slowly spread.
"Yes...... It's ......" Cole took a few deep breaths, and at the one just now, he wanted to slap himself a few times, and when Rey took this step forward, he thought he was going to be beheaded for this mouthful.
"There's also news from Walthas Prison that Leah Maylis and three other accomplices attempted to escape, but three others were captured and executed, including Maylis's former lieutenant, Bron. Maylis herself, on the other hand, is missing. ”
"Missing?" Rey wondered, "Can she still get out of Valshas?"
"No, it is impossible for Maylis to escape from prison, but Maylis was not found in the areas where these prisoners operated, and it was preliminarily inferred that Maylis should have fallen from the chain bridge ten floors underground in Walthas and died directly. ”
Rey didn't reply, just nodded, "Any other information?"
"My lord, no, that's all the information. Cole whispered.
"Then you can get out. Rey didn't look back: "You go and call the 'Black Pupil' of the Assassination Department, I have a task to arrange." ”
Cole literally rolled out of the room with his head on the ground, his calves shaking as he changed into his boots.
The guard gave him a sympathetic look, if it weren't for the officer's sudden incontinence in that moment of fear, Cole's head would have hung out of Rey's window by now.
This guard can be regarded as serving Rey for a long time, others don't know, but he knows very well that although Rey is now in power, what he is most afraid of is the four armies stationed in Wishal, these armies are real combat effectiveness, and they are the reliance of Wishair to dominate the continent, even if it is Rey himself, there is no way to order it directly, among which the Red Army is the largest and has the strongest combat effectiveness, and the southern metropolitan area is also the economic artery of Wishal.
This intelligence captain actually dared to mention the Red Army in front of Rey, and when he mentioned Siegfried, he really thought that he had lived too long.
Not long after Cole left, the guards welcomed a new guest. The man was shrouded in a black cloak, with a black mask on his face, revealing only a dark blue eye. He was even a head lower than the guards.
"Black Hitomi, you're here. ”
"Yes, Lord Rey, I don't know who you asked me to assassinate this time?" I want to talk about "Shadow of Exile" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
