Chapter 20: Troublesome Things
If this rumor is true, it is indeed a rare treasure for mankind.
Chrissy looked at the thoughtful Dylan and said slowly, "I wonder if Sir Dylan is interested in the griffin's treasure. We've gathered four barons, but we're not sure we're going to face a monster like a griffon. ”
"If you will, after finding the treasure, everyone will divide it equally. All I need is the blood of a sage. Chrissy looked at Dylan expectantly.
Faced with this invitation to explore related to legendary creatures, Dylan was completely defenseless. Directly agreed: "Okay! When will we leave?" ”
"Tomorrow, I'll be in Birmingham first····· A tavern... I'm going to say hello to the other companions first. ”
After Chrissy left, Dylan shook his glass and said into the corner of the room, Come out!
From the shadow of the corner, a slender figure slowly appeared, and Maria said faintly: "Griffons are not ordinary creatures, and the five barons still have a certain risk in the face of griffins. ”
"Isn't there Viscount Maria? Dylan teased with a playful laugh.
··············
The next day, at 7:40 p.m.
Dylan walked out of the door of the 'Budapest Tavern' and said, "Do the Bloods always like to party in pubs? ”
After grumbling, Dylan got into his carriage. After waiting for a while, a gust of wind blew into the carriage, and Mary emerged from the wind.
She looked at Dylan and said coldly, "This friend of yours doesn't seem to be very reliable. ”
Indeed, although Chrissy and the other four bloods were very sincere. However, Dylan can analyze it based on their eye contact and some subconscious movements of their bodies. These people were by no means a group of improvised expeditions, as Chrissy claimed.
If there were five people in the group, Chrissy and the other three were all familiar with each other, and they deliberately concealed this relationship from Dylan. Then when the treasure hunt is over, it's hard to say whether they will share Dylan's share as they said beforehand.
There may even be .......
"So what, they don't know that I have you by my side. You can easily deal with the four barons with one viscount, and if they want to turn against me after dealing with the griffin, then this treasure is mine alone. ”
Dylan glanced at Maria, who was sitting there expressionlessly, and added with a smile: "Of course, there is also half of you." ”
Ignoring the ice-cold Maria, Dylan gave the coachman an order, and the carriage headed in the direction of Isabella's estate. Calculate the time, and the captive group should also finish the interrogation. Dylan was going to see who had tried to assassinate him several times.
The carriage crossed Newman's Fifth Avenue, past the commercial district, and into a park not far from the Fairman estate.
Dylan and Isabella made an appointment to meet in the park at 8 p.m. tonight.
When I arrived at the park, I found Isabella already waiting. As soon as Isabella saw Dylan, she said, "It's a big problem!."
"Well...... What's the trouble?" Dylan was stunned when he heard this, why is it a big trouble for a good person.
Isabella explained: "The man who sent your assassin is Wales Adelaide, the nephew of the British Chancellor of the Exchequer. Because the Chancellor of the Exchequer has no heirs, he is still the next heir to the Adelaide family. ”
So Dylan said indifferently: "No matter who it is, the assassination of the nobleman is to be convicted, even if he is the Chancellor of the Exchequer behind him, we can mediate privately according to the rules of the nobles, and I will not pursue it." Generally speaking, that's the end of it, can a baron be evaporated from the world? I can have the Dark Council behind me......"
"He's dead!"
Isabella's next sentence directly blinded Dylan.
"What does it mean to be dead? Did he commit suicide in fear of sin, or was he accidentally killed while being arrested? Dylan asked hurriedly.
Isabella shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know, according to the confessions of some of the people in the leather suit, he was dead when we found him. ”
"That's a big problem. ”
The Chancellor's nephew, the future heir to the Adelaide family, died in the city of Birmingham, and before he died, he had sent someone to assassinate a baron. The direct suspect is Dylan, and the target is already so obvious that the police will not find the wrong person else.
Britain is now in an extraordinary period, and the Holy See and the Dark Council have been on the verge of a move in recent years. The other aliens want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the old guys of the academic school don't care about anything, and the people of the royal family and the industrial and commercial alliance are vigorously developing overseas territories, and they only hope that everything will be calm in the country.
Something happened at this critical time, and according to Britain's usual way of dealing with it, it should have asked Dylan to be thrown out as a scapegoat. As long as the Chancellor of the Exchequer is temporarily gagged, it doesn't really matter who did it. As Dylan remembered in London, this was the way things had always been done in England.
Even if Dylan is a member of the Dark Council, he has the support of a level 12 dark archmage. But when it comes to the family of the Imperial Minister, no matter how much prison is inevitable.
"Your grandfather's! You sent someone to assassinate your grandfather, and before your grandfather could trouble you, he died. If this is grandpa's hand, grandpa will admit all the consequences, but this is really not grandpa's doing! grandson will really look for trouble. ”
Dylan spun back and forth for a few moments, thinking for a long time before he said, "I'm going to explore the griffon's lair tomorrow, and I'll talk about this when I get back." ”
"But at this critical moment, if you leave Birmingham, people are likely to directly identify you as the murderer. Today they are leading the army system, and they have all seen Wales' death, and I can't hide it even if I want to. And my father probably won't want to ....... ”
"Wait until I get back!"
Dylan was sure in one sentence, and Isabella, as a descendant of Dylan, couldn't refute it. Maria, on the other hand, didn't care about the matter at all, she didn't care about anything other than reacting to the task of protecting Dylan.
As it turned out, no matter what happened, it couldn't stop Dylan's expedition.
The next day, Dylan and five other warriors who were preparing to explore the griffon's lair, together with Maria, who was hiding in the shadows, climbed the Gonzeniel Mountains and walked deep into the mountains.
Poof!
Dylan threw away the wolf whose neck was broken, looked at the wolves slowly retreating, and asked Chrissy beside him, "How long will we be there, the sun will go down in another hour." ”
Chrissy withdrew the dagger from the wolf's back, and replied with a coquettish smile, "In about half an hour, we will be on the cliff where the griffons live." Don't worry, wait until the sun goes down before we can do anything to the griffons. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, it's just that there are too many animals in this mountain. ”
Along the way, Dylan killed at least 300 wolves, five brown bears, three tigers, and a large python. Killing so many wild animals, if it had been in the previous life, it would have been shot.
