Chapter 45: A Gaze from the Shadows
"Go and inform Gareth that he needs to escort the funds himself. "Jason in the castle has already allocated all the funds, and he has decided to build the road first, and repair the road between Irontooth and Erbia.
Mayor Dia took away some gold coins to maintain the basic operation of the town government, and Lancelot also took some money to increase the quality of the soldiers' food, after all, if you want the soldiers to have combat effectiveness and nutrition, you must keep up.
In addition, there are also the purchase of winter food, reserve weapons and other materials, but also to build the handicraft industry and agriculture of Iron Tooth Town, and improve the territory business, which all cost a lot of money, and you can't always rely on the Kyle family to transport, wouldn't it be completely become a puppet of the Kyle family.
"Alas, it's heart-wrenching that a lot of money is gone in such an instant. Jason looked at the small amount of gold coins missing from the box, and he finally understood why the misers were holding on to the money when they were dying.
............
"How can you do this to me!" Eve's face was full of grief and indignation: "I brought you such important information, and you still want to arrest me?"
Gareth cooperated with the soldiers to capture her, and put shackles on her hands and feet, so that no matter how strong she was, she could not exert a tenth of her strength.
"I believe you based on what you say, so isn't my trust too cheap?"
"I definitely didn't lie to you, I swear!" When did she, a noble lady with fine clothes and food, suffer this crime, and now feel uncomfortable.
"If I catch the wrong person, I will help you untie the shackles with my own hands, and then apologize to you. Gareth smiled and said, "I swear." ”
"You bastard!" Eve was about to go crazy, she knew she wouldn't have been sneaking around to observe him, and she shouldn't have tried it with her incense, so she put herself in it.
"Take it down, keep a good watch over her, don't starve her, give her better food. Gareth wondered if she was used to eating the food here, so she might try to make something good for her.
It has never been his style to embarrass a woman, but now that is an extraordinary time, he has to do it, after all, this woman is also an enemy, and if he disguises it, he will be in big trouble.
The incense just now made him suspicious, and it was really hard to believe this Eve.
"You send someone to the city of Lucca to confirm her true identity with the Viscount of Leon. He thought for a moment that if this was really the daughter of the Viscount of Lyon, it would be a good marriage.
But it takes too long to get to Luke City, and it takes half a month to come and go.
"Order a city-wide search, and these people must be found out!" Gareth would now rather believe what he has than what he doesn't, and he must not be careless.
"Go to Irontooth and inform your lords to take precautions against enemy attacks. Then he summoned a few more guards and told him that Jason's safety was the top priority.
Suddenly, he jerked his head and looked up into the town, where a malicious gaze had just crept into him, and when he noticed it, it disappeared in an instant.
"It's kind of interesting. The corners of Gareth's mouth were slightly raised, it seems that Eve did not lie to herself, she was able to arouse her vigilance, this person was at least a knight-level powerhouse.
"This man is really alert. "A woman with a fire tattoo on her face hides in a disorganized house piled high with discarded tools in the distance, where a total of six people are guarding.
"If it would be nice to kill him with an arrow at this time, I would have to wait for ....... The man with the bow and arrow said.
"Your Excellency's order is to contain him, not kill him. ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for that little girl from the Leon family, we wouldn't have been so embarrassed!" a man with a short sword in his hand looked at the environment in disgust.
"Hehe, I said I should catch her on the way, I've been coveting this aristocratic chick for a long time. "The other man with a thin figure had a lewd face.
"The eldest son of her family was abolished back then, and the old man Leon almost went crazy, so do you think the Leon family is desperate to fight with us? Stupid!" said a big man with a scar on his face, disdainfully, he didn't like this dirty guy with a dirty brain.
"Des, you ......"
"Jimmy, shut up!" At this time, the man who had been sitting there with his eyes closed suddenly spoke: "We can only pray that the plan of the Lord goes well, and that we will come back before we are surrounded and suppressed." ”
"Yes, sir!" the crowd all stopped as he spoke, and it was clear that this man was of great prestige.
"Is that man that powerful?" Jimmy didn't believe that Gareth could kill so many of his own people, and that there were two knight-level powerhouses.
"That man is as steady as a mountain, blazing as a fire. The woman with the flame tattooed on her face suddenly interjected.
"It's time for us to move, they've got soldiers coming. ”
"But, my lord, is it really okay for us to assassinate a nobleman like this?" Des hesitated for a moment, and asked, they are all disgraceful people, and if you assassinate a nobleman like this, you are afraid that you will be overwhelmed by the king's wrath!
"Someone will take care of it for us. Murphy pulled out a statue of a dancing woman muttering something from her bosom.
Everyone looked at each other and said no more.
"Hey, you bastard!" Eve was momentarily unsettled when she saw that Gareth was really going to lock her up, and kept yelling there.
It's a pity that Gareth didn't even look at her, and arranged the deployment there on his own.
"I have something to prove my identity!" Eve's eyes suddenly lit up, and she secretly wondered how she had forgotten such an important thing just now: "I have the family crest, I have the family crest of the Leon family!"
"Take it out and take a look. Gareth finally turned his head to look at her, and said nothing.
"Go in that direction and focus on the search. He pointed to the place where his gaze had just come and ordered: "If you find something, don't attack in a hurry, wait for me to arrive." ”
"......" Eve looked dumbfounded, how can I take out the badge and show it to you if you lock me up?
"Oh, forgot, sorry. Gareth looked at her with a smile and waved her shackles open.
"Where's the badge?" he asked, looking at Eve, who was rubbing her wrist constantly.
"I don't know the pimple of wood that pities the jade, it must be deliberate, I wish you not to find a wife for the rest of your life!" Eve muttered there as she pulled out a purple shield badge from her pocket with a pigeon flapping its wings.
Gareth flipped it over and saw that it read "Eve Lyon", which was indeed the coat of arms of the Lyon family.
The coat of arms of the Lopez royal family is a shield badge of a black wolf on a gray background, but Jason can no longer be used after being sealed, so now his coat of arms is a white wolf on a black background.
It still didn't dispel his suspicions, but it didn't keep Eve locked up anymore.
"Goodbye, big bastard!" Eve's charming little face grimaced at Gareth.
"From today until your family comes to pick you up, you must follow me. Unexpectedly, Gareth's faint words frightened her.
"You...... You're going to put me under house arrest?" Eve looked incredulous.
"I'm for your own good, what if you go out and get caught by those guys?"
Eve muttered secretly, but unfortunately she couldn't beat Gareth, so she had to sneak away from it.
"Look! what's that?" she shouted in sudden horror, pointing to the town, as if she had found something.
