Chapter 49: The Spies
Renault was stunned, and he noticed that Vivi also had a keen side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He hadn't seen Ferrex and his daughter for a month, only that they were recovering well, and he knew that Ferre's loyalty could no longer be shaken, but he was ...... to his daughter
The thought of Miley's departure from Black Iron that day in order to follow the temple could be called an act of betrayal, and he couldn't trust the girl for a while.
"Okay, let's go see them in the evening. ”
"Hmm. Vivi laughed happily, "Sister Miley seems to be in good spirits and has become as cheerful as before!"
Renaud nodded, after the last setback, she was as cheerful as before, if it was true, it was quite surprising.
Just as he was thinking, two guards came over with a man in the snowstorm, led by a tall horse.
"Lord Renault, we've caught a thief!"
Renault glanced at the man, with his thick sheepskin coat and finely crafted boots, and judging by the weapons he was wearing, he should have been a soldier commander.
He was a little funny, this was clearly a spy sent by someone else, and only Lauren could catch people as thieves.
"Let go of me!"
When the captured soldier saw Renault, he began to struggle, and one of the guards who escorted him kicked him in the popliteal socket, pushing him to his knees.
"To be honest, you dare to be so arrogant when you see Lord Renault!"
"You're Renault?" the soldier commander was not frightened, but raised his head fiercely.
"Who are you, and why are you in my territory?"
"Phew-" The soldier leader spat on the ground, "Black Iron Town is Lord Roshi's territory, and you are just a thief who takes advantage of people's danger!"
Renault didn't move, just quietly watched him pretend.
But Lauren kicked him in the face without waiting for him to finish, smashed him into the mud, picked up the bear's paws, and directly slapped a few big mouths, "You are looking for death!"
The soldier raised his head and wanted to scold, but Lauren didn't let him speak, and pulled him away with a big mouth with his backhand, and then stepped on his chest, so that he almost vomited blood, and drew his sword from the waist of the guard and was about to cut it.
At this time, the soldier was really instigated, with a nosebleed on his face, and he gasped silently.
Renault understood that this person was probably sent by Roshi to investigate the situation in Black Iron Town, and saw that he was building here, and wanted to see what was going on.
"You're Roshi's man?"
"Hmph......" mentioning Roshi, the soldier commander finally felt a little confident again, "I advise you to leave Black Iron Town quickly, otherwise Lord Roshi will soon lead the army over, and then I'm afraid you won't even know how to die!"
"Okay, you go back and tell Roshi, I'm Renault waiting for him here, and he'll come over and take Black Iron Town back. But I advised him not to, there might be a demon rat in Black Iron Town that hasn't been cleaned up, and one of them will scare him out again. ”
"Demon Mouse!" the soldier captain looked around in horror, as if awakened by a nightmare, "you...... You're lying, the temple has already been announced, and there are no more demon rats in Black Iron Town......"
"You want to see it?"
As he spoke, Renault glanced at one of the guards, who immediately rode his horse and carried a cage containing a demon rat and threw it in front of the captain.
"Ahh
There was no blue stone on the iron cage, and the demon rat was crazy and opened its teeth and claws in the cage, staring at the bright yellow little eyes and constantly letting out a sharp roar at him.
The soldier's face turned pale with fright, and his feet shook like chaff. He'd seen this thing, the night of the fall of Black Iron Town, he protected Roshi and fled in a hurry, and his companions behind him kept screaming and were torn to pieces.
That fear still keeps him awake, and he often sees these terrifying shadows in dark nightmares.
"You go back and tell Roshi, I'm here for him, Renault. ”
Seeing this person running away, Bage on the side looked a little worried: "Lord Renault, if he spreads the news about our demon rats, I'm afraid ......"
"It doesn't matter, just let it be. Renault shrugged and walked away.
Baji was right when he thought about it, raising demonic beasts, such a big thing can't be hidden, so many workers in Sequoia Town are here, how much can they hear the rumors, sooner or later it will be spread out, look at Lord Renault's meaning, and he is not afraid of being known.
And in a short period of time, even if Roshi preaches it everywhere, it will only make people think that he is spreading rumors.
......
In fact, Renaud deliberately showed the magic rat to the soldier commander, and there was also his reason.
Now the construction of Black Iron Town is in full swing, and if Luo Xi comes to make trouble at this time, it will definitely affect his progress. It's better to scare him with a demon rat and delay for some time.
He didn't care about Roshi's army at all, he just didn't want the town's construction plans to be disrupted.
......
Ferré and Miley were placed in two separate rooms on the lower level of the town hall, which was considered to be Renault's special care for them.
At this time, it was dark at night, the construction site had been closed, and there was a commotion from the temporary dormitory.
Renaud and Vivi arrived at the door of Ferret's house, and before they could knock on the door, they heard the laughter of father and daughter inside. Miley's voice was as crisp as a string of silver bells, and it was hard to imagine that she had really come out of the shadows of her former past.
Renault knocked lightly on the door, and it was Miley who opened the door, and when he saw that it was actually Renault, the smile on his face instantly froze. After being stunned for a long time, he reacted, and hurriedly got out of the way to let Renault in.
"Fere, how are you feeling?"
Fei Lie took Xiqi's sword hard, was shocked and injured his internal organs, and has been recuperating at home since he came back. Seeing Renault coming, he hurriedly sat up.
"Lord Renault, I'm completely fine. I want to start working tomorrow. Everyone was busy, but I was lying at home and couldn't do anything, and I was suffocated during this time. ”
Renaud smiled: "With your daughter with you, will you feel bored too?"
Looking at Miley's embarrassed and overwhelmed appearance, Renault suddenly felt that he had thought too much before, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was only a sophomore in high school in modern times, and she was still a child.
Thinking about it simply, it's just a high school girl who has something on her mind and runs away from home, and it seems to be a bit more serious to say that she betrayed the lord.
"Fere, if you want to help, I want you to help me design the blast furnace. ”
"This ......," said Ferre, with some embarrassment, "to be honest, although I know a little bit about blast furnaces, I'm afraid I'm still not up to the task, my specialty is iron. ”
Renault frowned, although it is now possible to use the app on the mobile phone to produce steel, but the efficiency is really low. When the commercial district is completed, the city walls will be built, and factories and docks will be built next spring, and the amount of steel will be more than ten times what it is now.
Without blast furnaces to smelt iron ore, these projects will not be completed until at least next winter, and it is impossible to rely entirely on APP to expand production.
"But I know one guy who can do it. Just as Renault was thinking, Ferré suddenly said.
He was shocked and asked, "Who?"
