That night, the nobles of Nafu City had not been able to sleep, and the five gunshots seemed to hit them in the heart, and they could not sleep all night.

It wasn't until the next morning, when a notice was posted outside the city, that they breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the Assassins escaped meant that they were not exposed, but fortunately! Run, run as far as possible, and you'll always be back! Useless things, assassinating individuals can't be done!

After learning that they were not exposed, the nobles were indeed relieved, and ordered their subordinates to prepare gifts to "condole" the Viscount who was assassinated yesterday.

Of course, the main purpose is to probe the wind and see if Claire suspects them.

……

"Lord Viscount, this is my condolence gift to you, it's really thrilling, the Viscount's Mansion has actually been infiltrated by assassins!" Baron Eugene said, pretending to be frightened.

Claire glanced at the gift handed over, worth hundreds of gold coins, if it weren't for the thief's heart, who would send such a valuable gift to condole, last time you were pitted with five hundred gold coins like a dead father, this time you are so active?

The rest of the nobles also brought their gifts one after another, and soon the living room table was piled up.

"Harm." Claire also pretended to sigh, "I didn't expect this to happen." ”

"Is the Viscount injured, we have been worried since we heard the gunshots last night, not only us, but also your people." Eugene continued to probe again.

Claire shook her head, "I wasn't hurt, I wasn't asleep when he came in, and I drove the other party away with a gun." "Tell him everything the other party wants to know.

The nobles present were all happy in their hearts, it seemed that the two sides just took a look, so they and the others must not have been exposed.

Claire continued, "Don't worry, there will be knights patrolling the vicinity of the Viscount's Mansion every night from today onwards, and this kind of thing will not happen again. ”

Eugene's smile stiffened, but soon it was full of smiles, a move that put an end to their plans for the next assassination.

"That...... Does the viscount have any suspicions? Lord Wilbur asked tentatively, poking his head out.

These nobles are very timid, and they must ensure that they are 100% free from suspicion, so that they can sleep peacefully.

Claire's eyes are small, I said before that you are just a bunch of useless waste, and this is true, even if I didn't doubt you originally, I should be alert now.

However, he still pretended not to understand anything, and dragged his chin and thought for a while before saying: "This is not clear, I haven't been back in the viscount for a long time, and after thinking about it, I don't seem to have offended anyone, who do you think is most likely to assassinate me?" ”

Claire threw the words to the other party, and the more than ten people on the other side were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other.

"Robber!" Baron Eugene preemptively said.

"Yes, yes, it must be those robbers outside the city!" The rest of the nobles chimed in.

"They saw that the lord of the viscount had returned, so they wanted to kidnap the viscount so that they could extort money."

"Yes, the group of robbers outside the city is fierce to death, and our previous goods have been robbed by the other party several times."

"That's right, Lord Viscount must be wary of those robbers outside the city!"

Claire smiled, "Is that so?" ”

Baron Eugene was about to say something, but footsteps came from outside the door.

It was Knight Captain Hunter, compared to before Claire came, he was much stronger at this time, and even the momentum he exuded surpassed the previous Knight Captain who died tragically.

"Your Lord!"

Claire glanced around at the nobles sitting on the sofa, and they all nodded knowingly.

"Lord Viscount is busy first, I'll go back with confidence when I see that you're okay."

That's right, when I see that you don't know that it was us who sent the assassins, and you have splashed dirty water on others, we will go back with confidence.

"Lord Viscount, retire!"

"Slow down and don't send it." Claire smiled kindly and waved.

……

After confirming that the other party was gone, Claire took Hunter to the conference hall and sat down, asking, "How many midshipmen are there in the barracks now?" ”

"Report to Lord Viscount, there are now a total of thirty-one probationary knights, three bronze knights, and one of my silver knights in the barracks."

Claire nodded, although this strength is not enough for the armament strength that a viscounty should have, it is enough.

"How's Crane training lately?"

Hearing Claire ask about Crane, Hunter's eyes also showed a hint of appreciation, "He trains very diligently every time, and he should be the next one to be promoted to the Bronze Knight." ”

The last time I saw Crane, the other party was already a trainee knight, but I didn't expect Hunter to think so highly of him.

Claire touched her nose and continued to ask, "To what extent can the Viscount's Dou Qi cultivation cheats allow you to cultivate?" ”

"This is left by the previous viscount, which is enough for us to cultivate to the level of a great knight."

Claire pondered for a while, generally speaking, a few golden knights can support the face of a viscount, and the big knight above it is even more sufficient, but Claire's ambition is more than that.

"Let's use it first, and I'll find a way to get you a Dou Qi cheat that you can cultivate to a higher level later."

Claire doesn't have enough financial resources now, and the Dou Qi cheats that are enough to cultivate to the level of a great knight were still bought when the Griffin family was at their richest, and it cost more than 600,000 gold coins, and now let him buy a higher-level Dou Qi cheats and he can't afford to sell them.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount!" Hunter was secretly excited in his heart, he was right, Lord Viscount was planning to revive the entire Viscountdom!

"How's that thing I asked you to do?"

Speaking of this, Hunter's expression also became serious.

"Report to Lord Lord, it's ready!"

"Good ......," Claire replied softly.

Then the two of them discussed carefully in the conference hall.

……

And in Nafu City, the people here were angry after seeing the announcement posted, and they were about to explode.

What! The viscount finally came to such a good viscount, exempted us from so many taxes, and led us to a better life, and someone actually wanted to assassinate him!

And that's what happened in the Viscount's Palace! I can't bear it!

Not long after the proclamation was posted, a group of people spontaneously formed an organization to patrol the city and around Nafu City, intending to find the Assassins who could go to assassinate the Viscount.

However, as soon as the time reached noon, a new stream of news spread that the robbers outside the city had sent people to assassinate the Viscount.

Moreover, the news spread inside and outside the city at a rapid pace, and the original hatred of the assassins was transferred to the bandits outside the city, and the people cursed and cursed the damned robbers.

And the nobles who had done these things completely settled down, and shifted the public opinion to the robbers outside the city, and no one doubted them, and it was not the first time they had done this kind of thing, some of them had experience.

As long as you spend a little money to get those small gangs to help spread the news, you can quickly turn the spearhead of public opinion to others.

And they drank wine in their mansion and enjoyed it with their maids in their arms.
