Chapter 322: Intelligence Sites

"My lord, that Earl Churchwick must know the details of our Norton family, and he seems to be afraid of you. But what I don't understand is that the little prince of the Duchy of Forrendo, the great swordsman, and the dead golden knight don't seem to know.www.biquge.info Didn't you taunt them if they wanted to take revenge after you killed that Golden Knight? I saw that the Earl of Dallek of the Duchy of Sabaji wanted to stand up, but was held down by Earl Churchwick to prevent him from moving......"

It was Schward who said this, and now they were on their way back to the hotel. After Lorist killed the golden knight named Henryman in one move, Schward found that everyone attending the banquet was stupid, even the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, who was sitting on the first side of the play, highlighted his dead fish eyes, and looked at the corpse on the ground in almost disbelief.

One move, passing by, the Adam's apple is broken. What a sharp posture, sharp eyesight, and lightning-fast movements it takes to make a golden three-star knight inevitably die. Not to mention Baron Philim and Baron Shahin, even if they were confident of defeating that Henryman, it would take at least a few hundred moves, and maybe they would have to pay a price of flesh and blood......

There were also three great swordsmen present, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was shocked, the Limad Great Swordsman was frightened, and the Grand Swordsman of Hus was appreciative. He often practiced with Lorlist, and he saw it very clearly, just when the golden knight named Henryman rushed up like a mad tiger and the sword momentum was gone, Lorist took a small step forward, that is, this small step made the golden knight chaotic, because he lost his intended goal of falling the sword, and he didn't even have the opportunity to change the sword momentum, so he could only watch his long sword brush against Lorlist's body, and watched Lorlist's right hand touch his Adam's apple, as if he sent it himself, with a clatter......

This is the first opportunity, the Great Swordsman of Xiusi looked at the figure of Lorist in front of him and sighed very much, the Great Swordsman who has reached this step can almost be sure that he is about to reach the level of the peak of half a step. Lorist is only thirty-four years old, and the successful promotion to the golden rank at this age can be regarded as a genius for cultivating fighting spirit, but this adult of his own is purely a monster, and now he is about to reach the peak of half a step, and he will obviously become a sword saint in the future, a sword saint.

Jost dismounted his horse hard, and let his mount take a few steps to catch up with Lorlist: "My lord, did you find out at the banquet just now, that Earl Churchwick has always put the Central Four Duchy in the position of the weak who are wronged and helpless to fight back when he tells about the war between the Four Duchy of Central China and His Royal Highness, instead of being as triumphant as those fools in the Duchy of Forendo, as if he was making a statement, I think Schward is right, that earl must know our family very well." ”

"Hehe, you found out too? So, when you get back to the hotel, you take a few guards to invite him over, and I have something I want to ask him. Lorist said.

After killing the Henryman Golden Knight, Lorist smiled and asked the little prince Dock if he wanted to send someone to take revenge? The little prince was already scared and shook his head. Lorist found it boring and made a big announcement to Fisabrun. And the Grand Duke of Fisabrun also knew that Lorist had sent someone to charter a hotel at the South City Gate as a place to stay, so the Grand Duke of Fisabrun did not leave guests, but just sent Lorist and his party out of the gate of the Rose Palace.

Not far from the south gate, there is a hotel called Anna's house, which has a total of five floors, one is a tavern, and the upper four floors are hotels, and it is also a very famous place in the royal city of Windbrie.

It's a pity that this inn called Anna's home is not famous for its facilities and services, but for a tragic story. During the reign of the former Crisson Empire V, Windbury was a fledgling cattle trading city, and on the site of this old inn was a dilapidated grocery store, and the owner had a mute daughter, a very gentle and kind girl, who often adopted stray kittens and dogs, and also brought food and clothing to the orphans.

Later, Anna grew up and married a very hard-working young man, and the couple lived happily ever after by running the grocery store. Because of the kindness of the husband and wife, the two of them took in more than a dozen stray children, which made them a little unbearable, so the two took out their parents' life savings and built a two-story building, selling wine below and making a hostel on top. Because of their hard work and honesty, the hostel is doing well, and Anna has more capital to adopt the orphans, cats and dogs.

Due to the good business, the couple decided to expand, so they spent money to build this five-story building as a hotel. As a result, because of this five-story building, they were targeted by greedy nobles, who sent people to arrest Anna's husband and put her husband in prison, gave him several inexplicable charges such as smuggling and harboring, and finally sent someone to threaten Anna to buy the five-story building with a gold coin from the head of an imperial old man.

Anna had no choice but to accept the price, and sold the building, which was worth nearly a thousand, for an imperial old man's head for gold coins, just to save her lover. But he didn't expect that it was his husband's tortured corpse that was thrown out of prison. Anna went mad and sat in front of the city lord's mansion for three days and three nights with the body of her lover, and finally slammed into the stone pedestal of the flagpole with a wail and died.

At that time, there were thousands of people surrounding the square of the city lord's mansion, and Anna's side was full of food sent by well-wishers, but she just didn't drink or eat, and no one could persuade her. All the merchants and citizens of Windbri City united to demand that the city lord must give Anna an explanation, and the city lord was afraid to shrink in the city lord's mansion and close the gate to be a turtle. Just as the caretaker was negligent, Anna stood up, wailed, and slammed into the base of the flagpole, bleeding from her head.

This was the only civic revolt recorded in the history of the former Cresian Empire, in which angry burghers and merchants burned down the castle lord's mansion and hanged the fat pig-like lord. When the news reached the imperial capital, a furious Cleison V ordered a thorough investigation. The funny thing is that the first noble envoy sent by them was bribed by those territorial nobles, and the responsibility was put on the dead city lord. However, the merchants and citizens of Windbury City did not buy it, continued to strike the market, and also organized the Windbury City Self-Defense Force, which made a great noise.

The first aristocratic envoy angrily ordered the nobles of Winston Province to send their own troops to suppress the civil revolt, but many nobles refused this request, believing that the fault lay not with the rioting populace, but with the greedy nobles. Eventually, the two sides confronted each other in the city and the story of the matter reached the imperial capital again, and an enraged Cleison V ordered the Royal Knights to be dispatched, and appointed the head of the Knights as the final executive to deal with the matter.

When the Royal Knights arrived in Windbri, the SDF opened the gates and surrendered, and presented a petition describing the whole incident and demanding severe punishment for the nobles.

The Royal Knights, who stood on the side of the royal family, took advantage of this reason to kill the nobles in Winston Province, when almost two-thirds of the nobles in Winston Province were implicated in this incident and were stripped of their lands and titles, the initiators were exterminated, and the first noble envoy was also hung on the gallows.

In the history of the Krisson Empire, the Windbrie Riot was actually a contest between the royal family and the nobility of the realm. It is true that the royal family cannot interfere with the rule of the territorial nobles over their own family domains, but they are never allowed to put their hands into the royal family's territory. At that time, the city of Windbury and several large cities were under the direct jurisdiction of the Crown. The business activities carried out by the aristocracy in these cities were exempted or exempted from taxes as nobles, and their appropriation of the property of merchants and citizens was equivalent to moving the cheese of the royal family. Cleison V astutely took advantage of this event to carry out a major inventory of all the major cities, expelling countless nobles from the commercial operations in these cities, which is why Kerison V's reign of 37 years is known as a prosperous era.

Today's Anna's home is run by the descendants of the poor couple and relatives, even during the Iberian Kingdom established by the second prince, no nobleman is willing to fight the idea of this hotel, for the nobles, this building is an unlucky place, so Anna's home is basically run by those small caravans and mercenaries of these classes, the nobles avoid here, and it is considered a loss of identity to enter and leave this place.

In recent years, Anna's family business has also been bleak, and it can only be barely maintained. Lorist didn't care, and when he arrived at King Windbrie, he chartered this hotel as his residence.

"My lord, Knight Tagar and Big Brother Reddy have been waiting for a long time. Schward came in to report.

"Oh, let them come right over. Lorist wiped his face with his hand: "By the way, let the servant bring the bath bucket and hot water, I want to soak it." ”

Tagar and Reddy arrived quickly, arriving at the city of Windbrie two months before Lorlist, to arrange for the Voliber intelligence station here, and to see if the Grand Duke of Fisabrun had bad intentions in organizing this knightly tournament.

"How's it going?"

Reddy stepped forward: "My lord, the three underground underworld organizations in Windbrie City have been integrated into one, their backstage is gone, and the new boss has sworn allegiance to Volibel. ”

Lorist sniffled: "The smell of blood on your body is a bit heavy. ”

Reddy shrugged his shoulders, this action was learned from Lorist: "No way, there are too many people who don't know how to lift and don't know what to do, so I have to send them back to the paradise of Shigwa to rest in peace." ”

Lorist turned his gaze to Targer.

Tagar replied: "My lord, the backstage of the Green Nika Gang is Viscount Wisinka, a nobleman in the southern provinces, and also the head of the queen's faction, and he is very trusted by the queen, five days ago, Lord Reddy helped him fall from a horse and injured his skull and died, the queen thinks that her father and duke made a ghost, and the father and daughter are currently in an awkward trouble. The Green Nika Gang has lost Viscount Wiscinka, thinking that they can make a name for themselves in the world, and Lord Reddy went to try to convince them last night, but it didn't work well. There were less than seven or eight of the slightly larger leaders of the Green Nika Gang still alive, and the remaining thirty-four were all killed by Lord Reddy. ”

"Is there anything special about the Grand Duke of Fisabrune?"

"No, after careful investigation this month, we have not found any special moves by the Fisabrun family, and the Grand Duke must be very eager to hold this knight tournament. He spent nearly 50,000 dollars on Kingford bulldozing the former slums in the royal city, where he built four large wooden square arenas, where it is estimated that the knights' jousting tournaments were held. Our intelligence investigators already have a team of servants infiltrating these four arenas, and everything there is under our watch, and any unusual changes will be discovered and reported by them. ”

"Well done. And how did the queen and the nobles react to the actions of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun?"

"Except for the queen and the grand duke who quarreled and took away more than 10,000 gold fortunes from the grand duke, the other nobles were very well-behaved and cooperated with the grand duke to hold this knight tournament, and they didn't have any money, but they also sent the housekeeper to help the grand duke, and some nobles also went out to search or buy supplies on the order of the grand duke. ”

"Then is the intelligence site in King Windbury arranged now?"

"Three of them are arranged, and they don't know each other, so that the information that comes in the future can correspond to each other. However, we still have a problem, we can't arrange a letter eagle station in the city, because it is easy to be discovered or breed wrong, and attract those greedy nobles, I am afraid that they will forcibly buy our letter eagle. The best thing to do is to arrange the Letterhawk site outside the city. The dead Viscount Wishinka had a manor outside of the North City that could be a very suitable site for the Eagle, but we couldn't get our hands on it without revealing ......," Targar replied.

Shin Ying is a few years ago proposed to use the Saker to carry out long-distance delivery of the plan, after several years of hard work, finally got a batch of excellent Saker to send the letter, named Shin Hawk. If the Messenger Eagle site is set up in King Windbrie, then it will only take a day for the information to be sent to Lorist in North Sea City. And if you send a message on horseback, then wait for ten days.

"Aren't there any nobles in the royal city who have their hearts set on us of the Norton family?"

"My lord, we didn't find out. The aristocrats here are a bunch of brainless guys who don't care what's going on outside, and only keep their eyes on their own one-third of an acre. As for our Norton family's impression, they are still stuck at the moment when we conquered the royal city and captured the second prince a few years ago. To say that we are afraid, or to say that we are distrustful, we are afraid to avoid it. ”

"Forget it, I'll think of a way. What's next for you?" asked Lorlist.

"As originally planned, here is the completion of our preparation for the Duchy of Meleain. Tugger said.

There was a knock on the door, and it was the inn's maid who had brought a clean tub and hot water. Reddy took the tub and placed it in the room, helping to pour hot and cold water.

Lorist stripped himself naked in front of Targer and Reddy and got into the tub and splashed water on his face. Reddy took a clean burlap towel and gave Lorist to wipe her back.

"Alright, Reddy, just wipe it off. Lorist took the towel and covered his face: "Targer, just now I met several nobles from the four central principalities at the welcome banquet of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, I am very interested in their origin and origin, you go and check them out these days." After the knights' conference is over, you will first go to the four principalities in the middle of the country, and after arranging the intelligence website there, you will go to the principality of Meleain.

I have a feeling that the Central Four Duchyes may be in the way of our family in the future, and we have to take precautions first, and the sooner we get to know them, the better. By the way, I've asked Jost to go to Earl Churchwick of the Duchy of Handla, who seems to know our family well. If he comes, you will act as an attendant, and take a closer look at what kind of man he is. I hope he will be wise and not refuse my request......"

"Yes, my lord, as you wish. ”
