Chapter 017 Conflict of Interest
"Solidarity and mutual help against the Normans!"
"Whew, what a noble slogan!"
In the darkness of the night, a few fires swayed in the wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the firelight, three men and one woman, four figures.
The only one sitting was a middle-aged man with hook-nosed eagle eyes and a scar on his face, which looked extremely grim.
I don't know what the person below reported, the scar man sneered, and his snake-like gaze swept to the only woman: "Tasha, how is the investigation?"
The woman named Tasha was dressed in a black nocturnal bodysuit, petite in shape, but as flexible and wild as a leopard, with rows of throwing knives stuck in the belt around her waist.
Swept away by Scarface's gaze, Tasha's eyes seemed to be pricked by a needle, and she quickly lowered her gaze and replied: "Vega's specific origin has not been found out yet, but the biggest possibility should be related to the Baron Gas's Mansion, and the woman who has been following him is a person from the Baron's Mansion." ”
Baron's Court of Gas!
Scarface's gaze became even colder, and there was a hint of murderous intent: "Old Garth has been planted, and he dares to stretch out his hands everywhere, and I don't know where the courage came from, Lukang is not his broken town." ”
"Boss, have you forgotten the lady of the second son of the Viscount's family? Although Baron Garth died on the battlefield, with Evan Warren's support, not many people in Lukang would dare not give him face. "The man who spoke was as thin as a monkey, and his eyes were nimble.
"What about Evan Warren?" Scar Boss's eyes furrowed slightly, but the killing intent was still the same, "Renault only listens to the Viscount. Commanding the law enforcement team, Evan Warren can't even keep up with our tail. ”
"Boss, I have a question. The man next to the thin monkey was as thick as a bear, and touched his head, and the man's face looked a little innocent, showing a little doubt, "Isn't it a good thing that the Brotherhood wants to resist the Normans and find out the Norman spies......?"
"Idiot!" Scarface scolded angrily, but seeing the innocent look on his right-hand man's face, although he was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he finally said a few more words, "It's not that I want to move him, it's that he wants to dig up our roots." Think about it with your pitiful brain, if the Brotherhood is really developed, how many of your subordinates will follow you, and what will you eat, drink, and use to cultivate the secret arts?"
The three underground forces of Lugang, the "six-armed" Slery manipulated the casino and lent money to collect interest, and the "widow" Savannah controlled the brothel and scraped money on the courtesans, both of which were not in direct conflict with the Brotherhood, but they were different.
Snow is the boss of thieves and beggars, and his subordinates are all over Lukang, and he is well-informed, even those nobles will ask him from time to time.
The brother will get some kind of intelligence agency, and it will directly grab meat from his mouth.
And that's not all, the most important thing is ...... According to Snow's observations, the Brotherhood is not the kind of force that survives by sucking oil and fat on its subordinates, and if the Brotherhood becomes a climate, there is no need for anything else, as long as there is no need to pay tribute, those beggars and thieves under him may immediately turn back.
In the face of this threat of digging the foundation directly, let alone the Baron of Gas's mansion, which is just a broken thigh, even if Evan Warren comes in person, Snow will not be able to back down.
"Derek, Tasha, you two ......"
......
Early in the morning, in the backyard of the small building No. 19.
"Your sword can be faster. You are now an Assassin. ”
"Young Master, be careful. ”
The two figures were leaping, and the sword light was roaring, constantly merging.
Jiani's sword is faster than a sword, and each sword only sees a shadow, not a blade, as if it is moving the real character.
Seid, on the other hand, was preoccupied with defense, either blocking or blocking, staggering or retreating, and although he was a little reluctant, he was never able to break through the defense by the opposing side.
The two are sparring, or rather, Jani is sparring for Seid.
Syd really cultivates secret arts, and the time to practice sword skills is very short, and the combat experience is far from keeping up with the strength, so after arriving in Lugang, every morning, Jiani will accompany him to practice for a while.
With Jiani's sword skills that specialize in speed, once started, Syd had to stay focused at all times, so after half a month, his improvement was quite obvious, and he was able to barely hold the defense line from being breached in the stormy attack of Jiani.
Of course, Said knew in his heart that his personal maid actually had a hand, at least he didn't use the sword to point directly at the point, and the angle was tricky.
However, Syde himself also has reservations, he is practicing actual combat experience and exercising physical reactions, so he did not use all his strength, otherwise with his current strength, as long as he faces a blow head-on, Canni will probably not be able to hold the sword in his hand.
After some sparring, gradually, Jiani's chest began to rise and fall, and his breathing began to be heavy and rapid, but Syd seemed to have just warmed up, with some sweat on his forehead, and his physical strength was not consumed at all.
After another staggered sword light, the two of them tacitly stopped their hands.
"Young master, your swordsmanship is basically proficient, coupled with your strength, Uncle Brand should not be your opponent, except for a few masters in the Viscount Castle on this side of Lugang, probably only in the garrison and law enforcement teams can you find a match for you. While breathing slowly, Jiani put her sword into the sheath, and her pretty face showed both joy and a little depression.
Said nodded slightly, his current strength, even if it is not as good as the top group under the knights, such as Andrew and Evan, who cultivate the secret art of Shanlan, such as the three elite captains of the law enforcement team, or the strongest in the garrison, but it must not be too much worse.
Moreover, this is only his own strength, if you count the "bloodthirsty rage", or even use the "bloodthirsty rage" to promote knight skills, as long as it is not a real knight-level powerhouse, Syd is sure of victory, and even killing.
What he lacks most now is the reaction speed of his body, such as whether his body can react in the face of sneak attacks and assassinations, crossbows and arrows, sieges and other special situations.
The sparring still has to continue, and it is also necessary to let Jiani no longer keep his hands in order to experience the tricky assassination swordsmanship......
The thought flashed, noticing the trace of loss on the maid's face, Syd groaned for a moment and asked, "What level have you practiced with the scorpion-tailed bee?"
"The first layer has been completed, but the progress of the second layer has not been much, but don't worry, young master, I will keep working hard. Jiani quickly put away her depression and regained confidence and vitality on her face.
"The Scorpiontail Bee is a secret technique collected by my grandfather in Ernest, and although it is more powerful than the bison, it is not as powerful as the bear monster. With only this secret art, there is little chance of being promoted to knight. The corners of Said's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and then he relaxed, "But you practice first, and when I am promoted to knight, I will find a better one." ”
There are few secret techniques, and there are even fewer secret techniques that can have a chance to cultivate to the knight level, and among these fewer secret techniques, the agility class suitable for women's cultivation is probably not even one-third.
This kind of secret art is generally stored in the secret vaults of the great nobles, and in addition to the children who can cultivate, it should only be accessible to secret guards and assassins such as the dead.
If Syd wants to plan this kind of secret art, he must at least be promoted to a real knight, and with the help of the talent and skills of the demon worm, there can be some possibilities.
Moreover, this may still be at a juncture like this, if the duchy is stable and the Normans do not invade, then the hope is even slimmer.
But Jiani is not a stranger, or there is no possibility, and he will create some possibilities.
Back in the small building, the two of them started breakfast.
But before they could finish eating, there was a sudden knocking sound from the gate of the front yard.
"Boss, there's movement on the Black Hand's side. ”
It's Hood!
Along with Garney in charge of the day-to-day work of the intelligence agency, Hood is now one of Said's true henchmen, closer than Hewlett and the bald Hank.
Some things that need to be kept secret, Syd is handed over to him to arrange.
For example, people who contact and co-opt black hands!
For Snow, the extremely well-informed "black hand" Snow, whose minions are all over the upper and lower urban areas of Lukang, Syd has long been secretly observing, and the priority is even higher than that of the "six-armed" Slaary involved in the "milk poisoning" incident!
With the six arms, it is just a personal vendetta, and with the black hand, it is a direct conflict of interest!
