Chapter 125 - Report (1st Update)
A few miles away from Oliver's Castle, there is a village that is not marked on the map, and this is the place where the Oliver family used to cultivate secret forces, which has been hidden and not known to other forces.
At this time, in an ordinary house in this village, there were three people.
One of them, with purple hair and a cold face, was the purple-haired man who had attacked Fergus Castle.
The other two, one of them was a short, brown-haired man of medium stature, the man was muscular and well-proportioned, and did not look bloated.
The last person was a woman, with a high chest, a slender waist, and a face that could barely be called beautiful.
However, she was wearing an eye patch on her left eye, which made her barely beautiful immediately fall below the beauty, and even looked very uncomfortable.
They are the three captains of the Shadow Serpent who infiltrated the Marquis of Sidney this time.
"Someone from the Oliver family came just now and asked if we had an assassination last night."
The purple-haired man spoke.
"Assassination? What do you mean? ”
The short brown-haired man wondered.
They have been dormant since the last assassination, and so far, no assassination has been carried out.
"Within the Viscounty of Oliver, there is a family of lords who have been wiped out, and the methods are very similar to those of our Shadow Serpent."
The purple-haired man explained.
"Interesting, how dare you pretend to be our Shadow Serpent?"
The short-haired man had a strange complexion.
"It must have been done by the rival nobles of the Oliver family."
The purple-haired man concluded.
"Hmph, nobles, a bunch of despicable fellows."
The blindfolded woman snorted coldly, her eyes full of murderous intent.
"It's been a few days, isn't it time for us to do a second action?"
"Second action?"
The purple-haired man shook his head.
"Now that the Marquis of Sidney has organized a special tracking team, and our goal has basically been achieved, I suggest giving up the second assassination and withdrawing from the Sidney Marquis as soon as possible."
"No, this level alone will not satisfy the gold owner, we will at least have to attract the attention of the Sidney family to us for more than half a month, if we withdraw now, it is difficult to guarantee it."
The short-haired man frowned.
They infiltrated the Marquis of Sidney this time, on the one hand, for revenge, and on the other hand, they also came with a "commission".
The commission given to them by the financier behind them is to attract the attention of the Sidney family, so that the Sidney family has no time to take care of other things.
"Give up? It couldn't be ......."
The woman touched her left eye, which was wearing an eye patch, and her eyes were full of murderous intent.
Her eye was poked blind more than twenty years ago when the Sidneys attacked the Shadow Serpent's stronghold.
Unlike purple-haired men and short brown-haired men who are half for revenge and half for commissions, her purpose is very pure, just for revenge.
She would never leave the Marquis of Sidney until her revenge was satisfying.
"There are eyeliners everywhere in the Marquis of Sidney now, and if we do anything more, our whereabouts will likely be exposed."
The proposal was rejected by the two, and the purple-haired man frowned slightly.
"Then another wave of assassinations in a few days, and then immediately withdraw from the Marquis of Sidney, so that the time is enough to attract the attention of the Sidney family for half a month."
The short brown-haired man said.
Evacuate immediately after another wave of assassinations, and if the Sidney family wants to confirm that they have withdrawn, it will take at least a few days, so that half a month is enough.
"I agree."
The woman nodded in agreement, as long as she could get revenge, she didn't care about the rest.
"Okay!"
The purple-haired man glanced at the two of them and nodded in agreement.
According to the rules of the Shadow Serpent, the minority obeys the majority, and he can only follow, of course, the main thing is to complete the "commission" is also his purpose.
Viscount Fergus's study, Viscount Fergus, Bernal, and Gray are all there.
"The spies have reported that the day after the assassination of the Shadow Serpent, there are indeed strangers who have visited the Oliver family, but it is not certain whether these people are the Shadow Serpent people."
Bernal spoke.
"These men have been at Oliver Castle for a while and then left, their whereabouts unknown, and they are receiving the Oliver family."
"Stranger, and the day after the Shadow Serpent assassination......"
Gray's eyes narrowed slightly.
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for someone from a noble family to visit, after all, nobles also need to socialize.
However, the person who visited appeared on the second day of the Shadow Serpent's assassination, which was a strange time.
After all, there have just been a number of assassinations, and at this time, the first thing that comes to mind for families that are related to noble families is probably to keep their distance from noble families as much as possible, so as not to be affected, and never to visit noble families.
"Also, Keppel left the castle for an hour this morning, but our men didn't find him in Oliver."
Bernal continued.
"The day after the assassination, a stranger arrived, and the eldest son disappeared for an hour, but did not go to Oliver City......"
Viscount Fergus rested his chin in one hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After a few moments, he stood up and pulled out a leather map from the bookshelf on the right against the wall, which was dedicated to stacking maps, and spread it out on the desk.
Gray and Bernal were puzzled by Viscount Fergus's actions and stepped forward, looking at the map.
I saw that this is a very detailed map, on the map, not only mountains, forests, rivers, but also villages are clearly marked.
In the center of the map is a building representing the city, with a text sign next to it.
"Oliver City, this is the map of Viscounty Oliver?"
Gray spoke up.
"Yes, this is a map of the entire Viscounty of Oliver."
Viscount Fergus nodded, pointed to the side of Oliver City, and said.
"This is Oliver's Castle, with this place as the center, you can go back and forth in an hour, what is the approximate range?"
Gray and Bernal's eyes lit up, and they already understood what Viscount Fergus meant.
"From this to this, to this ......"
Wandering the map, Gray and Bernal quickly confirmed Keppel's range of activity during the hour.
"Father, I'll have this area explored immediately to determine where the Serpent of Shadows is hiding."
Bernal exclaimed.
"No, our mission is over."
But Viscount Fergus shook his head at this time.
"If you want to probe the Shadow Serpent, with the ability of those spies under us, it will definitely be discovered, and I will immediately report this matter to the Marquis, of course, I just say that it is doubtful, I believe the Marquis will judge."
"It's still my father who is thoughtful."
Bernal looked ashamed.
It's not that he can't think of this, it's just that he was so excited to suddenly confirm where the Shadow Serpent might be hiding that he didn't think about it for a while.
