Chapter 61: The Trap
On the erection day, Count Noamon looked at the slowly rising morning sun and was so excited that he stayed awake all night.
Wait, wait, Annoyed, Count Noamon had nothing to do.
It was supposed that it would take time to prepare for the march of the army, so there had been no movement so far, and the Count of Noamon could only comfort himself with this.
But the Count of Noamon suddenly found that the guards who kept him under house arrest not only did not gradually leave, but became more and more, and this vision fell into his eyes, and he knew that something was wrong!
"Could it be that we have been deceived?" guessed the Count of Noamon.
"Why, Count Hendynton is the messenger of the City of Wrath, so what good is it for him to deceive us?" said the Countess of Noamun disapprovingly, for it seemed to her that Karazhin's withdrawal had been delayed by some minor incident, and that was why it had been delayed until now.
"But don't die, Earl McCarvey is his prince after all. Unlike us, the Hendynton family is just a nobleman in robes, and he is dependent on the McCarvey family for his livelihood after all. β
In the end, the Earl of Noamun, who couldn't hold back, called a soldier and promised a large sum of money to help him contact the Earl of Henyanton.
The little official was greedy for money, and when he saw that the soldiers took their gold, Count Noamon was relieved, but he did not know that this was a trap set for him by Julian.
Julian and Dick were together at this time, only to see the two smiling, like a spring breeze, Julian held in his hand the settlement that Dick handed over to Noamon for him to sign last night, the signature of the Count of Noamon and the blood stain are still there, but the content of the settlement is completely different, it is the trade contract signed by Julian and Muto earlier.
"In this way, the Count of Noamon will die without a place to be buried. Julian said leisurely.
Adulteration with the orc tribes in the western wilderness, selling iron and food, this is all a major crime of stripping the lord and exterminating the clan, when it comes to the noble court of Angry Wave City, as long as Julian hands over this contract to his father Duke McCarvey, then no matter how the previous public opinion slandered him, he can also turn things around in one fell swoop, and no one will care about Julian's attack on Count Noamun in the name of being very sufficient, and will only care about Count Noamun's fornication with orcs.
"It's heart-wrenching, I used to respect him, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing. β
"Who's to say it isn't. β
At first, Julian also considered whether he needed to find Dick's help, although it was true that the Count of Noamon sold orc food, but there was a lack of strong evidence, as long as the Count of Noamon insisted that this matter was false, and it was fabricated by Julian in order to slander him, then it would be really difficult to cure him, and Dick had the name of the messenger of Fury Wave City, and it was easy to win the trust of Count Noamun, as long as he helped, then everything would be captured.
And looking for Dick's help must be cautious, because Julian does not know whether Dick can be trusted, about the deal with Muto, at first, only Julian himself and Sebas know, even Julian's henchmen Edgar and Baal do not know, if you want to get Dick's help, then even if you don't talk about it, then you must let him know a thing or two. Although Dick has sworn allegiance to Julian, and the two have been playmates since childhood, in the face of this kind of ethnic righteousness, Julian is not sure of Dick's attitude.
Who knew that Julian was just knocking on the side, and with a vague hint, Dick didn't ask anything, and immediately put on an attitude of being willing to go to the soup and make a fool of himself. Julian knew that it was stable!
The clever Dick also vaguely sensed the truth of the matter, and just captured the Orc as soon as he captured the Rock City, who would believe such a coincidental thing! Even if Noamon colluded with the Orcs, there was such a thing, but there was no Julian in it, he didn't believe it, and he also figured out Julian's attitude, Count Noamon must die, and no one can question it. Dick gladly accepted Julian's order, too much to ask, anyway, in his eyes, the sky fell is a high top, and it has nothing to do with him, as long as Julian can make him a sword-wielding nobleman, then Dick can do anything for it, and the Count of Noamon is his stepping stone to climb up.
In his right hand was the evidence of Count Noammon's fornication with orcs, and on his left hand was a settlement contract with a drop of blood on it, which Dick had shown to Count Noamon last night.
Dick had gone to get two contracts, a settlement contract and a trade contract with Muto, the former as a cover-up, and the latter as the one that really got Noamon to sign.
At first, Dick went to the Countess of Noamon with two contracts, and first showed him the settlement contract, which was used to confuse her, and after confirming that it was correct, the two went to the Count of Noamon, and the cautious character of the Count of Noamon would inevitably look carefully, and when he saw a drop of blood on it, he would inevitably ask questions, and Dick took advantage of this to get back the settlement contract, exchange the contract, and give him another contract again, and the Count of Noamun, who was excited and full of blood, inevitably made a mistake in his busy hurry, and finally signed his name in a daze at the urging of his wife, and Julian only gave him a candleγ
A moment later, a message came from a soldier that Count Noamon wanted to see Count Hengyanton.
Dick glanced at Julian for advice, and Julian bowed slightly and said, "Go ahead." β
After Dick retreated, Julian picked up the settlement agreement, chuckled disdainfully, and then placed it on the candle flame, watching as the flame devoured and destroyed it until it turned into black ashes.
"Count Hendynton, what's going on, why hasn't Karazan's army left yet? As soon as Dick arrived, the Count of Noamon hurried up to him and asked.
Dick pretended to be distressed, and said, "Last night I showed Earl McCarvey the settlement contract you signed, and after he saw it, he did indeed sign his name on it, and agreed to retire, but ......."
"Just what?" asked Count Noamun anxiously.
"In the morning, an orc was caught from the city. β
After listening to Dick's explanation, the Count of Noamon was suddenly dead......
The capture of orcs in Boulder City caused an uproar, the so-called one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, hundreds spread thousands, the women in the streets and alleys were idle, always chewing their tongues, not to mention the promotion of Julian behind them, and this matter soon reached the ears of Duke McCarvey in Angry Wave City.
