Chapter 62: Neil's Decision
Back in his room, Neil retracted the smile he had forced on, his face became gloomy, and he quietly waited for Jim to set up a magical enchantment against prying eyes, while beside him, stood Lunn with a face that had not yet recovered, and a thief dressed in retinue service. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Jim signaled that the enchantment was arranged, Neil didn't say a word, and directly injected the fighting energy into the magic mark on his arm. In an instant, a sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow hit Lunn's body, causing the strong-willed warrior to lose control of his body and plunge directly to the ground. After a long time, Lunn, who was sweating profusely in pain, got up and fell to his knees in front of Neil.
"It's a waste that you're still a silver-tier warrior, and you can't even deal with a black-iron-rank druid, and you're still injured by someone all of a sudden, it's a waste!" After venting the anger in his chest on Lunn, Neil pointed at Lunn with a cold face and scolded.
Lunn knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his body trembling slightly, but he didn't dare to make the slightest rebuttal. Although theoretically speaking, the silver-level professionals are enough to be on an equal footing with the ordinary aristocratic class, but Lunn is different from those professionals recruited by the nobles, he is a dead soldier under the command of the second prince, with a special magic mark on his body, it can be said that life and death are in the hands of Neil, so even in the face of Neil's unceremonious torture and abuse, Lunn can only endure it silently.
"How's your situation over there, Rem?" asked Neil as he vented his anger at Lenn as he turned to the thief next to him.
This time Neil came to Cook Castle. In addition to the ambition of occupying the magpie's nest in order to realize his own gains of both people and money, there is also the task of exploring the truth for the Holy See of Light, and even carrying out revenge. So before going to the reception banquet, Neil sent the silver-rank thief Rem who was hidden in his entourage to find the person with Christopher's death mark, that is, Daddy York, to see if he could take advantage of the opportunity of all the masters of Cook Castle to go to the banquet and directly get rid of the revenge target of this light judge.
"Your Excellency, the mission has failed. Rem, who was called Rem, looked at Lunn, whose face was pale, and replied tremblingly, "With the help of what Master Jim gave, it is true that the person with the death mark on his body is locked. But the old fellow was very cautious, and there were warning traps around the room, and as soon as I got closer, I was discovered, so I had to retreat first in order not to alarm the people of Cook Castle.
"Have you failed, it seems that this father and son are not simple!" Neil's eyes twitched slightly, and he did not scold angrily anymore, but his expression became solemn.
Although today's actions are tentative in nature, if there is an opportunity, Neil will not hesitate to kill Luo Sheng's father and son. After all, both of them have already registered with Archbishop Michel. If he can get rid of it, it will be very good for Neil to improve his status. Although he is only the youngest son of the second prince, Neil, who knows his father's plan, has not given up his hope of ascending to the throne in the future.
As for the reaction of the Cook family after saying that he succeeded, Neil didn't care too much. His identity was there, and it was impossible for Baron Cook to really do anything to him for the sake of two outsiders. The worst outcome is to be driven back to the royal capital by Baron Cook.
As for Alyssa, although she will definitely have a bad impression of herself, Neil doesn't care. At the beginning, he pursued Alyssa hard, but because the Cook family was prosperous, and Alyssa was under the care of the Duke of Marcia, once she succeeded, she benefited a lot, and she didn't really fall in love with this 'pedantic' woman.
Now that the Cook family is in trouble, although Alyssa is more beautiful than she was at the beginning, her value is much lower than at the beginning. If Elisa Ken accepts his quest so that he can inherit the remnants of the Cook family after Baron Cook's death, Neil could consider continuing to maintain his demeanor and coax her for a while. But Elisa pulled out a Ra Sheng as a shield and explicitly rejected herself, so Neil no longer had the slightest scruples.
But what Neil didn't expect was that Luo Sheng's father and son escaped the attack by virtue of their strength and prudence, leaving all his plans in vain. And after this failure, the Cook family must be on guard, and it will be difficult to do it again.
"Actually, the strength of this father and son is not very strong, but now they have been staying in Cook Castle, and I can't do it. As long as they are out of Castle Cook, I can easily take them out. Seeing Neil's increasingly gloomy face, Rem said cautiously.
Like Len, Rem is also a dead soldier under the Second Prince, and knows Neil very well, who is usually personable and becomes extremely tyrannical when he encounters a setback. If he doesn't give Neil some hope of success, I'm afraid he will be punished the same as Lunn.
"What do you think, Mr. Jim?" Neil asked, turning his head to Jim next to him. Compared to his own slave-like dead soldiers, Neil is undoubtedly much more polite to Master Jim, who is not under his control and has a background in the Holy See of Light.
"Baron Cook is amazingly powerful, and Cook Castle is heavily guarded. Our actions have already taken a surprise before, and I am afraid that there will be no chance in the short term. Jim said, shaking his head.
"But these two people are the enemies that Mistress Michelle has mentioned, and we can't explain them to Mistress Michelle until we get rid of them!" Neil said with a worried expression.
Although he didn't really fall in love with Elisa, thinking that the girl he had been pursuing since he was fourteen or fifteen years old actually chose a black-iron hillbilly, Neil always had an evil fire burning in his chest. If you don't get rid of Rasen, or even Rasen's family, Neil's heart can't be calm.
However, Neil also knew in his heart that with only the two people he brought, it was impossible to kill the Rasheng family in Cook Castle, and he had to rely on the power of the Holy See of Light. Therefore, Neil directly packaged his own behavior of venting his personal anger as a sincere act of meritorious service to the Holy See of Light.
"Neil-sama is worried. Compared to the Cook family, the Luo son is just a minor problem. It doesn't matter if you deal with it a little earlier or a little later. Jim was not moved by Neil's words, but calmly persuaded him.
As the real person in charge of this operation of the Holy See of Light, Jim's main purpose of coming here this time was actually to confirm the situation of Master Tony, and at the same time to carry out the handover of some materials and information. After all, the fall of the Light Judge in Blackstone County happened too suddenly, and Michelle was both suspicious of Malken's ability and a little worried about the changes in Cook Castle, so he needed to send someone to visit in person.
And through the way of friends reminiscing, Jim and Bachelor Tony had completed the exchange of materials and information before the reception banquet, and Jim's mission had actually been completed, so he didn't care too much about whether he could get rid of Luo Sheng's father and son.
"This is a matter related to the prestige of the Judge of Light, how can it be considered a trivial matter?" Neil said unrelentingly.
"If Neil-sama really wants to get rid of that Rasho, I have two ways to try. Seeing that Neil still refused to give up, Jim thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"Mr. Jim, please speak. ”
"The first way is that tomorrow, Lord Neil, you go to Luo Sheng, in the name of your rival, to launch a duel against Luo Sheng. Jim paused, looked at Neil's face, and continued: "Because of your identity, Lord Neil, a hillbilly like Rason doesn't dare to hurt you at all, so he can only defend passively. And with your equipment and strength, Lord Neil, you should be able to kill him easily. ”
"And what about the second method?" Neil's face changed slightly, but he continued to ask.
The reason for rejecting the first method is that in addition to Neil's seeing Rasen's strong will and not wanting to risk his life, there is another reason, that is, Neil knows in his heart that if he dies in person, it will be tantamount to being a 'gun' for the Holy See of Light, which is inconsistent with his own interests.
To be honest, although the Bright Sect and the Second Prince secretly formed a joint force, even a fool would not believe it if the two sides were completely in unison. It's just that the Holy See of Light wants to use the power of the second prince Steven to strike at the Cook family, which is loyal to the Elson royal family, and weaken the power of the Elson royal family as a whole. The second prince wanted to use the Holy See of Light to fight the power of Crown Prince Raymond and facilitate his ascension to the throne.
It can be said that the existence of Baron Cook, or Crown Prince Raymond, to whom Baron Cook is allegiated, is the basis for the cooperation between the two sides. Once the second prince can really ascend to the throne, he will definitely not be willing to be controlled by the Holy See of Light, and the two sides will definitely be divided again.
Therefore, from the side of the second prince, it is necessary to intensify the contradictions between the Bright Church and the Cook family, and let all the hatred of the Cook family be concentrated on the Bright Church. In this way, after the fall of Baron Cook, it was easier for the royal family to absorb the remnants of the Cook family and turn to confront the Holy See of Light. Before, Neil had been entangled in letting the people of the Bright Sect deal with Luo Sheng's father and son, and he had such a mind in it.
However, as the youngest son of the second prince, although Neil has to obey the interests of the second prince as a whole, his own demands are subtly different. After all, there are two older brothers above him, and Neil wants to ascend to the throne in the future, not only to satisfy the second prince, but also to get additional help, that is, the support of the Holy See of Light.
So before Lunn and Rem made a move, it was actually Neil who wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and for the second prince, Neil can be said to be decisive in dealing with his rival in love, fighting for Alyssa and the future Cook family. As for the Holy See of Light, it is to avenge the shame of the Bright Adjudicator and release a signal of goodwill.
And the first method proposed by Jim, unlike the sneak attack when the situation was not named at the beginning, was to let Neil stand on the bright side, and he was desperate with Rasen, who had already been approved by Baron Cook. Even if he wins, it will make the entire Cook family hate Neil and the second prince. In this way, although the side of the Holy See of Light will be happy, on the side of the second prince, Neil will lose a lot of points.
"The second option is for us to take our leave tomorrow and let them let their guard down, and then let Rem stay. It is impossible for the father and son to live in Cook Castle all the time, as long as they come out, it is impossible to completely hide from our people, and leave the rest to Rehm. Jim glanced at Rem next to him, smiled and said, "A silver-level thief should have no problem dealing with a black-iron druid." ”
"Then let's use the second method. After a moment's pause, Neil made a decision.
