623. Exposed
Ned. Morse put on a set of magic pattern and walked in from the outside, and his momentum suddenly became a little different.
To be able to have a set of magic pattern constructs at such a young age is obviously indispensable to the support of the family. There are not a few young nobles like Morse in the Bednar guard battalion, as long as they have some combat talent, and after careful teaching, it is not that difficult to comprehend their own 'potential' and break through the bottleneck.
Beside Ned there are also fourteen knights wearing the same magic pattern uniform, these knights are the backbone of the Bednar guard battalion, they serve as squadron leaders or deputy squadron leaders and other important positions in the guard battalion, these knights called by Viscount Kincaid are the squadron leaders of the second brigade, these knights and Ned. Morse knew him well, and when he sat down at the round table in the conference room, he began to laugh and laugh and chat.
Surdak sat at the round table, apparently one of the costumed knights who came in recognized his identity and talked to the knights next to him in private.
"Ned. Morse, you called everyone over at this time to invite us to the tavern for a drink? A knight in armor walked in from the outside.
Before the person entered the door, the voice came in from the door, and when he saw that there were many squadron leaders of other squadrons sitting in the conference room, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Why are you all here?" ”
A squadron leader next to him patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Gonza, you're a little late, we'll be waiting for you." ”
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!" Viscount Kincaid walked in from outside the door, sat down at the head of the round table, and said to the crowd.
The female assistant behind her was holding a parchment map and a copy of Jack. Kennelly's sketch hung quickly on the wall at the back of the conference room, a parchment map showing the terrain around the city of Bednar and the airport docks, and even a few small notes written by Viscount Kincaid in quill, with a person's name written at the end of each line.
Viscount Kincaid knocked on the table, and even Gonza shut his mouth, and the conference hall suddenly fell silent.
Fifteen squadron leaders sat up straight in their chairs, dressed in all demonic pattern uniforms.
Viscount Kincaid turned around and pointed a short stick in his hand at the sketch portrait on the wall and began to introduce Jack. The origin of Baron Kennelly.
Then he talked about Jack. Kennelly has been in frequent contact with Baron Harvey of the Gophilo family lately, suspecting that he may be a gang of crooks impersonating the Kennelly family.
One of the constructed knights, seated closest to Viscount Kincaid, said: "This kind of liar is there every year, and the hardest thing to find out is their identity. ”
Another knight in costume also nodded and agreed: "Unless people get stolen goods, sometimes it will be fake and true, and in the end we will be embarrassed, and sometimes we have to withstand the pressure from above, forced to interrupt, and finally take away the gold coins, and will run to the parliament of the House of Representatives to scold us for a waste, this kind of scam is like a piece of shit, you can't get rid of it, no matter what you do, it will cause a smell of shit, even if some nobles are deceived, for the sake of the family's reputation, they will privately dispatch the family private army to solve it, Some declining families simply consider themselves unlucky. ”
Obviously, in the eyes of the squadron leaders, the Gophilo family is more in line with the second situation, and they have no ability to get the money back after being deceived, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Ned. Morse glanced at Surdak, and then said: "Those people were deceived because they were blindfolded by gold coins, but since we have found out, we cannot let these swindlers cheat in Bena City without any scruples, we have to teach them a lesson, at least let them understand that Bena City is not a place where they can come and go when they want." ”
"That's right, Ned. Morse! The other squadron leaders chimed in.
Kincaid looked approvingly at Ned. Squadron Leader Morse glanced at him, and then continued his topic: "I need you to send people to keep an eye on this group of swindlers, including arranging some manpower to monitor the hotel, including deploying some manpower at various city gates, exits, airports, docks, etc., and arrest them immediately when he shows his feet." ”
After speaking, he stood up, pointed to Surdak who was sitting at the end of the round table and said: "This is Baron Surdak, I believe that everyone here, there may be people who know him, this liar was discovered by Baron Surdak, I want you to actively cooperate and bring Jack . Baron Kennelly was confined to the city of Pena. ”
The squadron leaders sitting at the round table immediately stood up one after another, got up and said, "Yes! ”
Everyone sat back and began to discuss their respective defense areas together, Viscount Kincaid had already written the name of the squadron leader on the map of Bednar City, and everyone quickly understood their defense area, some people felt that there was no need to make it so complicated, just go directly to the hotel to arrest people, but there were also many people who felt that it was better to wait and see.
At this time, a knight walked briskly to Ned. Morse was beside him, whispering a few words in his ear.
"So fast?" Ned. Morse glanced at Surdak in some surprise, and then said to Viscount Kincaid and the others, "Captain, Jack. Baron Kennelly left the hotel alone, and now there were only a few servants left in the hotel, and no one knew about Jack. Where did Baron Kennelly go! ”
"You immediately take someone and arrest the Kennelly family servants in the hotel." Viscount Kincaid vs. Ned. Squadron Leader Morse said.
Then the other squadron leaders said: "The rest of the men will go to the gates of Bena City to guard them, Gonza and Witt, Baron Surdak, you also come with me to the airport docks, I hope we can still make it!" ”
Due to the sudden change of circumstances, the meeting ended abruptly.
Surdak had never received news from Aphrodite, so he knew that Aphrodite had guessed it again this time.
He guessed Jack. Kennelly may not have had the patience to wait until dark before leaving, but he didn't expect that he would leave all the servants in Pena City and leave Pena City in a hurry alone.
Worried about Jack. Kennelly sneaked away, Surdak went to the guard camp for help, and Aphrodite watched the hotel.
It is estimated that Aphrodite should be following Jack at this time. Kennelly was behind him, so he wasn't in much of a hurry.
Before leaving, he had made an agreement with Aphrodite that if Jack. Baron Kennelly was accompanied by a large number of men, so she summoned him in advance, and after obtaining the specific position, asked him to find a way to rush over with the knights of the guard battalion.
But if Jack. If Kennelly was alone, Aphrodite would have been quietly following, finding a suitable place to start, and summoning him alone.
Surdak couldn't get out at this time, so he could only rush to the airport dock with Viscount Kincaid.
Over there at the hotel in the city, Ned. Squadron Leader Morse led a squad of Guards Battalion Knights to deal with those who had been killed by Jack. A group of minions that Kennelly left behind.
……
Discover Jack. The man who disappeared Kennelly was none other than Harvey. Baron Gopphil.
This guy went to the airport dock outside the city in the morning to rent ten of the largest warehouses, and rushed back to the hotel at noon, ready to meet Jack. Baron Kennelli had lunch and then talked about what else needed to be done before the first batch of wheat arrived in Bednar.
Can wait for Harvey. Baron Gophilo hurried back to the inn, just in time to see the Kennelly family servants leaving the hotel in a panic with their luggage on their backs.
It was as if a scoop of ice water was poured down from the top of his head, instantly drenching his heart cold, even if Harvey was slow to react, at this time he realized that something was wrong, and he rushed directly into Jack regardless of the other people's obstruction. Baron Kennelly's room, only to discover Jack. Kennelly was gone.
Harvey slammed a set of silver teapots in the hotel on the carpet in the room, so frightened that the hotel manager hurriedly wrote down that the silver teapot was broken and the original price was compensated, so why should someone smash the property in the hotel if he ran away.
The people who can open a hotel in the aristocratic district are, of course, also nobles with backgrounds, and the hotel manager can't mess with Harvey. Baron Gopphil, it doesn't mean that the big boss of this hotel is also afraid of him.
Harvey sat in the room dejectedly, and after a while he realized that he had to find a way to remedy it, this time the Gophilo family had taken out the last batch of magic crystals in the treasury in order to support the wheat business, as well as the funds in which other family members participated, and when raising money, Harvey patted his chest and promised that there would be no problem, just temporarily turned around, just waiting for the first batch of wheat to arrive in Bena City, and immediately repaid everyone's principal.
Now Harvey, he feels that the sky is about to fall.
Only then did he hurriedly report the news of the deception to the guard battalion......
……
Surdak followed the guards battalion knights to the airport dock outside Bena City, and it can be said that these guard battalion knights are still somewhat efficient when they are serious.
I checked all the magic airships that were about to leave the airport dock, and I didn't find Jack. Baron Kennelly's traces, the knights of the guard battalion began to expand the search area in the airport dock, mainly to investigate the magic caravans that entered and exited the airport dock, and really let the guards battalion knights investigate some clues.
Surdak followed the ranks of the knights of the guard battalion, and also rode a horse with everyone for most of the day. Baron Kennelly disappeared into thin air in the warehouse area of the airport docks, and no one saw where he had left exactly.
The road on the side of the airport terminal extends in all directions, although a heavy snow hinders the land transportation in Lili, but it is only a large convoy, and some magic caravans and horse teams still brave the wind and snow to travel between the cities.
Viscount Kincaid pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, snorted unwillingly, and said to Surdak: "It's still a step late, let this guy sneak out of the city in advance, everyone has been busy for most of the day, take a rest first, find a place to eat, and then look for clues later!" ”
For the guard battalion, this happens a few times a year.
Now that the man has successfully left Pena City, the investigation will continue, but there is no need to rush so much.
Surdak hurriedly said to Viscount Kincaid: Everyone has worked hard for most of the day, and this meal should be invited by themselves to the knights.
The airport terminal outside Bena has gradually become a supply transfer station, so there are not only slums on this side of the airport terminal, but also a large area of storage warehouses, and there are some hotels and restaurants next to the airport terminal to provide accommodation for airport passengers.
The largest restaurant is located next to the airport pier, making the best view on the second floor of the restaurant, just enough to see the tower on the airport pier, and the magic airships hovering on the platform next to the tower, the view is quite spectacular.
This is the most upscale restaurant in the airport terminal, Surdak chose the best location on the second floor, and when he ordered food, it was also the top set meal of Warcraft ingredients in the restaurant, although after seeing the price written on the menu, Surdak was a little secretly speechless, but he still ordered the top set menu for everyone.
The top-notch packages of these Warcraft ingredients are almost all settled in gold.
The squadron leaders under Viscount Kincaid saw Surdak's generous move, and the last complaints they had against him disappeared at the dinner table.
Plates of fine food were brought from the kitchen by the waiter in the restaurant, but Surdak heard Aphrodite's summoning signal.
He quickly got up from his seat and asked the waiter where the bathroom was......
