The Aster Flower Hotel has four floors, and Victor lives on the fourth floor, standing by the window and looking down, and below is a clean street.

Victor was not pure at all, and in the confrontation the day before yesterday, he completely fell into disadvantage. The York family knew everything about him. It is not surprising that there must be a shadow son of the York family among the lords.

And what the Earl of York said, about Sophia's situation, also attracted Victor's attention.

In order to pursue the Golden Knight Andrei, the Marquis Sophia sent the little baron to the distant Centaur Hills and secretly murdered her nominal husband in order to obtain greater political benefits and remove the obstacles to the union with the Golden Knight. It makes perfect sense, but Victor doesn't think it's going to be that simple.

First of all, the Earl of York mentions what would happen if the Marquise pursued success. That is, Sophia has not yet succeeded. Since failure to succeed means that there is a possibility of failure, now is not the time for Sophia to clear the little baron, after all, the reputation of being a widow twice in a few years is not good.

Secondly, no one knew that the little baron had been killed, and at the hands of a wizard. It is entirely possible that the great nobles secretly raise a few wizards. As early as 1,500 years ago, lords began to hook up with wizards. But it is unlikely that Sophia sent a wizard to murder the little baron, because it is too troublesome! You know, the little baron completely trusts Sophia, and the matter that can be solved with a glass of poisoned wine has to risk using the wizard?

In short, Victor thinks that it is unlikely that Sophia will murder the little baron, but what is the use of this? As the Earl of York said, if Sophia succeeds in pursuing Andre, then Victor is really dangerous, and even if Sophia does not kill him, Andre, the Golden Knight, will not let him go.

In Victor's memory, Sophia was a very beautiful woman and very wealthy. Victor believes that once a rich and good-looking woman takes the initiative to pursue a man, there are really few men who can control it. Of course, maybe the Golden Knight will be different. But what kind of person is Andrei, and what is his purpose? Victor doesn't know anything, in fact, Victor doesn't know much about what's going on outside the territory, he's like a blind man.

At this time, Victor desperately wanted to have his own intelligence network, but at present it could only be delusional, he had neither money nor talent.

"What a fucking pit! Nobles can't get a divorce!" Victor scolded.

The marriage of the nobility, like the duel of knights, was a sacred and serious contract, a union of interests between two families, and there was no such thing as divorce at all. If the nobleman wants to marry or marry, unless the other half burps. For example, the biological mother of the eldest princess Roland, Queen Erin, or the old Marquis of Wimbledon.

Looking out the window, Victor smiled slightly, he sensed that Lilia was tiptoeing towards him, trying to sneak up on him from behind, but unfortunately it was impossible.

Since the day before yesterday, he inexplicably entered the deep visualization of the Golden Toad's secret form, Victor's perception has become more and more acute, and now he doesn't need to turn on the super sense, he can also detect the slight movement within two meters around him.

Lilia held her breath, her little white feet stepping on the thick cashmere carpet without a sound. She just touched Victor silently, and she was about to succeed in the sneak attack, but her body suddenly became lighter, and the whole person was stopped and hugged by Victor.

"Victor, I've failed again. Lilia said in chagrin.

Victor happily kissed her on the sakura lips of her maid and put her down.

In the past two days, Victor has specially asked Lilia to sneak up on him quietly, but Lilia has tried dozens of times without success. Now that Victor has determined that his strength has improved a bit, it is very likely that this is a passive talent. Victor called it blindness.

"Lilia, have you made any contact with Nicole and Bruce?" asked Victor.

"Victor, I've already sent someone to inquire, Sister Nicole and the Bruce Knight have accompanied the Ed Scholar back to the El Kingdom. It is estimated that it will be a few months before they return. Lilia looked at Victor with some concern, she already sensed that the adults were in trouble.

"Hmph!" Victor snorted coldly, and he asked again, "Did you take the sheepskin scroll I wrote?"

"I've taken it. ”

Lilia nodded, and said, "My lord, Uncle John said that the monkey wanted to meet you. ”

"Anyway, it's okay right now, so let's see you. Victor laughed.

The monkey stood respectfully in front of Victor, and he didn't dare to come out, he was here to survive.

Victor looked at the thin gang leader in front of him, and saw that he was wearing a coat mixed with wool and linen, his face was pale, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness, he took care of himself very cleanly, and even the clothes on his body were ironed straight, so that some of them looked like high-class people. But Victor knows that the monkey is a true free people.

"Do you dare to come to see me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" asked Victor in a cold voice.

Although the monkey couldn't help himself, he did rely on Victor's power to rise to power, and he cheated Victor again. So, even if Victor kills him, he has nothing to say.

"I'm afraid!" said the monkey with a wry smile, "Therefore, I put on my most decent clothes, hoping to die like a superior person." ”

"Would you rather die like a superior man than run away?" asked Victor with interest.

"My lord, if you want to kill me, I don't dare to run, and I can't run away. I'm like an ant to you, you can crush me at any time, or you can let me go. ”

The monkey said and knelt down in front of Victor, not as a courtesy, but as a gesture of resignation to death, like a prisoner about to be beheaded.

Victor's eyes were cold, but he was a little surprised in his heart. This young gang leader did not beg for mercy or justify, and looked like he was kneeling and leading to death.

Victor could clearly sense that the monkey was sweating profusely, his lips were pale, his heart was pounding, but his muscles were relaxed, which showed that he was not pretending. He was really scared, and he was really dying, or he was gambling with his life to gamble on an uncertain future.

"As long as you are loyal to me, I will not kill you. How? can you do it?" said Victor tentatively, at which point he had a hint of interest in the monkey.

"My lord, I can't do it!" the monkey gritted his teeth and spat out a few words with difficulty, he could no longer control the trembling of his body.

Looking at the frightened appearance of the young man in front of him, Victor felt a little unbearable, even uncomfortable. Even if the monkey is a bloody villain, this appearance of life and death will always make humans in civilized society angry. This anger stems from pity for one's fellow human beings and is directed against this cruel world. It's not noble, it's that you don't know that one day you'll end up in the same end, this is human nature, by others and yourself.

So, Victor said, "Just now, you almost died. ”

Hearing Vic's words, the monkey immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger

"Give him a glass of purple cane wine. Victor commanded lightly.

If the monkey had just pledged allegiance to Victor, he would have died. Because, Victor already knew that the monkey was a dog of the York family, and there were many such dogs in the York family, and he was willing to lend such dogs to other nobles for use, but the York family was the owner of the dog.

Ever since Old John suffered a loss, this old mercenary has not been idle, and he has already touched the gangsters in Blackcastle Town.

There are three main gangs in Blackcastle, all of which are tools used by the House of York to control the freedmen. They are the Masons Society, the Cabbage Head and the Hyena.

The Masons Guild is a gang organization that organizes freedmen to build walls and fortresses, and they are also responsible for building roads and houses, and any freedmen who want to eat a bowl of rice must obey the arrangements of the Masons Guild, and the backstage boss of the Masons Guild is the city guard of Blackcastle. From time to time, the city guards would promote skilled freedmen to the rank of lord of the House of York. If necessary, these able-bodied freedmen can also be armed to form a family militia. Therefore, the stonemasons will have the closest relationship with the York family, and outsiders cannot interfere. The freedmen, on the other hand, wanted to squeeze in, not only to feed their families, but also to learn their trades, and perhaps one day become the lords of the House of York.

Caitou was led by the city magistrates, who organized the freedmen to clean up the town's manure and garbage, grow vegetables and raise pigs on the land of the vassals, and provide daily necessities for the whole town, but Caitou never allowed the freedmen to open up the wasteland privately, because all the wasteland belonged to the lord.

As for the hyenas, they do the dirty work, and their main role is to use intimidation and force to control the disobedient freemen, after all, the lords are very taboo to kill the freedmen directly. Hyenas are the most ferocious and tragic, and most of their leaders die on their own. Their backstage boss is the sheriff.

The monkey drank a full glass of purple cane wine, and finally relented, and he took out a money bag from his pocket and respectfully handed it to the guard next to him.

"My lord, this is all my savings, and I am willing to atone for my sins. The monkey said respectfully.

Victor took the money bag from the guard's hand, checked it, it should have 50 gold soles in it, and casually threw the money bag to Lilia.

Although the monkey's face remained unchanged, there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Isn't that right, shouldn't the Baron throw the money bag over again, and then encourage me to serve him well?

But how would the monkey know that Victor pretended to be a tyrant and had pretended to be bankrupt, although the mosquito legs were small, it was also meat!

"Monkey, it seems that you have a lot of oil and water in this industry, and you have made so much money in just a few days in the ascendant?" said Victor with a smirk.

"It's all up to my lords, and now many shop owners want me to get purple cane wine. The monkey said flatteringly.

Victor didn't expect the purple cane wine to be so popular, behind these bosses are various lords, and it is obvious that they are all buying purple cane wine and going back to the cellar, because the more the wine is stored, the more expensive it is.

"Monkey, I don't kill you because I'm interested in the people behind you. Can you tell me who he is?" asked Victor, staring into the monkey's eyes.

"Your Excellency, are you asking the Sheriff?" replied the monkey cautiously.

Victor stood up, walked to the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the street below, and said in a deep voice: "A few months ago, I saw a hyena like you, his name is Mouth, and he has been executed by my order. ”

"Unlike you, Mouth has a strong desire to survive and I was impressed by his wit. So, tell me, who is it that makes you so different?" Victor said with a smile as he turned to the monkey.

Looking into Victor's unfathomable eyes, the monkey was cold, and his intuition told him that if he dared to lie or conceal it, he would die immediately.

"Yes, Lord Balor. The monkey said in a trembling voice.

"I followed Lord Balor for a year, Lord Balor told me, don't be clever in front of the noble lord, if the lord wants me to die, I can only die, only honesty and ability can make the lord look high, if you still die, either your luck is too bad, or your ability is not enough. If you don't die, you can live a good life. For those of us who have earned a good day, every day is earned! So, there's nothing to regret when you die. ”

Listening quietly to the monkey, Victor asked, "What about the Balor?"

"He died, he played a clever trick, so he died in a free camp outside the city. The monkey replied with a bowed head.

"Do you still have Baror's personal belongings?" asked Victor again.

"There were also some clothes and knick-knacks. ”

"Find them all, give them to old John, and go now. ”

Victor said to old John again, "Old John, take Shak and dig up this Barol for me." ”

"My lord, is it his corpse?" asked Old John, puzzled.

"No, I'm going to live. ”

After old John took the people away, Victor sat alone in the room, faintly excited.

There are many intelligent freedmen, but there are very few freedmen who know so well about the nobility, and this insight is only possessed by vassals! If Balor has such insight, how can he die like this?and, why should he disguise himself as a freedman?

No matter how deep you hide, can you escape the pursuit of the alchemy crows? Can you escape the capture of the spirit monkey militia? Let me see who you really are?

A footstep outside the door caught Victor's attention, the old butler of the Rose Manor.

"Your Excellency Victor, the Countess has invited you to her dinner. ”
