The pavement is not too big, in addition to the counter there are a few metal shelves, which are used to display armor and leg armor, there is a corner door behind the counter, and the aisle is not long after opening and is connected to the secret room, and the casting table and charcoal furnace inside are all available.

Orta walked inside, there were no windows, but there were a few finger-thick exhaust holes in the wall, and a wooden ladder was erected on one side of the wall, fixed to an extended mezzanine.

Ota looked at it curiously, and found that the wooden shelves were actually a large bed, standing on it and reaching out to the roof of the shed, Ota nodded with satisfaction, yes, this even has a place to sleep.

Xia Rui also negotiated the price, and he was an old friend, so he paid the money very happily to go through the delivery procedures.

After a short time, Xia Rui and the two came back after completing the formalities, and old Jerry also hired a carriage to load luggage and other items. The iron man of Ota also helped, and while carrying the wooden box containing oil paintings, Ota looked at the bare walls, and said with some embarrassment:

"Uncle Jerry, can you leave some oil paintings, the walls are really ugly, if they really can't be done, forget it. Ota just asked with the idea of giving it a try.

Old Jerry said with a sad face: "These are the portraits of my ancestors, I'm really embarrassed little brother." ”

Ota hurriedly said a few polite words, how can the portraits of other people's ancestors be left to outsiders, he is really abrupt.

Just when Ota was a little embarrassed, old Jerry suddenly sighed, as if he remembered something, and even said, 'Wait, I'll look for it,' and rummaged through one of the boxes.

After a short time, he took out a drawing from it that had no frame but was just rolled, handed it to Otta and said:

"This painting was just moved here when I was a child, and it was left by the family when my grandfather took over this storefront, and I don't remember this painting after decades, but I turned it out when I packed up my things just now, and it didn't matter to me, so give it to you." ”

Ota thanked him and put it on the counter, and didn't care to help carry the box first, after all, people had just moved out and had to clean up, who had time to look at a painting from decades ago.

Time passed quickly, and Aina, who had returned earlier, also rushed over with a dozen sergeants, and it was not until late evening that he packed up, locked the door of the shop and returned to the castle.

In a castle halfway up the mountainside, in the palatial hall, a few sofas were placed on a huge precious blanket, and in the distant fireplace, the licking of dry wood licked by the flames rang out with the occasional beeping explosion.

In the sofa, the head of the Marquis of Carey rested on the lap of a woman, she did not wear much, and even showed her delicate lotus arms and half of her snow-white breasts, and held a bunch of unknown fruits in her hand, which were fed to Carey one by one like grapes.

"Cover your feet with cold feet. Kerry, who closed his eyes and enjoyed himself, said suddenly.

I saw that at the other end of the sofa, the woman who had been kneeling on the blanket and beating his legs lifted the obscene clothes on her chest expressionlessly to reveal her snow-white and full breasts, as if she had long been used to it, put Carey's feet on the twin peaks, and then put down the obscene clothes to cover them, and hugged her arms up and down in front of her chest to support his feet, and then she didn't move.

"Well, it's so soft. Kerry moved his toes and said with a wicked smile.

"Report to the young master, the black four are here. A voice sounded in the darkness, but there was no human shadow to be seen.

"Let him in. Kerry, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

After a short time, a man hidden in a black cloak walked in, clenched his fists and whispered:

"From the news that Yi passed back, Xia Rui set up a blacksmith shop near the square, and heard that it was going to sell armor weapons. The woman's name was Ellie, sixteen years old, and his father, Aina, was the captain of the Demon Captain of Xiluo Village, and was formerly Xia Rui's servant. The long-haired brown boy is called Otta, seventeen years old, Ellie's cousin, and also Xia Rui's Yi Cong and the deputy instructor of the Guard. The other short-haired man named Tie Nan, sixteen and a half years old, was serving in Xia Rui's guard. ”

Kerry snorted expressionlessly and asked, "Is that all?"

The black four hesitated for a moment and did not speak, but looked at the two women. Kerry nodded and sat up, waved his hand, and the two women bowed and left.

The Marquis of Carey is very respectful, but when it comes to important things, he is still very measured, and he also knows the importance of it.

Hei Si then continued: "Xia Rui's guards went to Xiluo Village to hunt orcs a few months ago, more than 5,000 people before departure, and the news from Ximen is that there are less than 1,000 people left when they return, and there are villagers who have migrated with them, it is Aina These people, there is no news about the specific reason. ”

Kerry stood up and took two steps, and suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "It is said that the witch that appeared in Xiluo Village was killed by a young man named Outa, and this is why there was a later encirclement and suppression, could it be that this Outa and the Outa I saw today are just one person?"

Black Four nodded, "Quite possibly." ”

I saw Kerry's eyebrows tighten and analyzed: "Since the encirclement and suppression have not ended, and the Guards have actually withdrawn with their entire army, although the reason for returning to the city to recuperate with great losses can be believed, there is no need to move with the people? There must be a problem here, give me a good check." ”

"Yes. "Black Four One clenched his fists.

Kerry was still pacing, pondering for a moment before saying, "The army in charge of the encirclement and suppression of Xiluo Village should be Will, right?"

When he got the affirmative answer from Hei Si, he said again: "That Will is a very arrogant person in the noble academy, I look down on him the most, relying on his military background and a royal worship is very sassy, I heard that he was later educated by his ancestors, which has converged a lot." ”

This matter involves the master's personal grudges, and Hei Si can only bow his head and listen without daring to interject, and then listen to Kerry continue:

"Recently, I heard that Will has been promoted to Lord, and I also contacted the Three White Kings Medicine Store of the Three Princes through Duke Hans, and I tried to put a few people in the medicine store, and I sent someone to Xiluo Village to take a trip to ask if there was a conflict between Will and Xia Rui to know the reason. ”

"From what I know about them, Will is arrogant and attaches great importance to reputation, and often thinks that he is a national hero and wants everyone to look up to him, which shows that this man is ambitious. ”

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on him. Black Four replied

Kerry continued: "Xia Rui always flaunts himself with chivalrous bravery, he is actually a reckless and brainless fool, but he is not willing to suffer, so well, there will definitely be a conflict between these two people entrenched in the small village of Xiluo." ”

Hei Si hurriedly nodded and responded: "Yes, the young master's analysis is not leaky, so I will send someone to investigate." ”

Hei Si just took a few steps, then stood up and turned around, and said, "Young Master, there is something that my subordinates are not sure whether to return or not." ”

"Let's hear it. Kerry said nonchalantly, walking over to the couch and sitting down.

"Originally, it was a very common thing, but just now the young master mentioned Will, and his subordinates remembered it...... At noon today, a dozen or so members of Will's army went around the tavern to inquire about a man named 'Leo', and posted a wanted notice outside the city gate for killing Will's sergeant, and as for the man's occupation and origin, the wanted notice did not say anything. ”

Kerry nodded indifferently, "Arrest the murderer, I'm not surprised that this kind of thing happens everywhere, okay, by the way, it won't take much to inquire about it." ”

"Yes. "Black Four left.
