Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sudden Change
After some discussion with Owen, the carriage had arrived in the town, and many pedestrians stood and watched along the way, until they came to a stop in front of a large hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rog and Owen got out of the car, and Rex ran to report it, and looked at the hall in front of him, the spire building, and the stone house, which was no different from the other residents' residences except for being tall and spacious.
This is the town's administrative office, and Klein has set up the command post of the city defense here, apparently making it his own private domain.
Rogge has carefully studied the identity of Crane, who is Walter's half-brother who has been in charge of the city's defense since Walter took over the Tours estate.
But interestingly, this Klein has not yet married, and it is said that the two brothers, Klein and Walter, pursued the same woman when they were young, and this woman is the current Baroness, and since Walter got married, Klein has rarely set foot in Daleshire.
This has to make people think about it, and Rogge is quite concerned about this, with Walter's sinister personality, he thinks that this younger brother should not be a man of affection.
Thinking of this, Rogge wanted to see this Klein more and more, and just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of footsteps, looked up, and saw four people coming, except for Rex who had just entered, two middle-aged men and an old man with gray hair.
The old man was short in stature, with a long beard, and a wrinkled face, but he was in good spirits, and Rogge had done his homework when he came, so he naturally recognized that this old man was the mayor of Madeon Town, and had always obeyed Klein's orders.
The man on the left side of the old man, with an ordinary face, a sturdy body, and a soldier commander armor, Captain Hogan, one of the seven commanders of the city defense army.
It is worth mentioning that Hogan was originally a servant of the Baron's Court, and since Crane became the commander of the city defense corps, he led the family to live in Meridian Town with Crane, and his status in Crane's heart was not comparable to other commanders.
The leader is Klein, who Rogge has always wanted to see, but after seeing Crane's face, Rogge was shocked, Crane is about forty years old, different from Walter's compact facial features, although Crane's facial features are ordinary, they are quite attractive.
The body is tall and mighty, a regimental commander's armor, which fits very well on the body, the surface of the armor has obvious signs of wear, I think I usually wear it, my skin is dark, my broad palm is covered with thick calluses, and there is a trace of heroism between my plain eyebrows.
Seeing this, Rogge really wants to ask, compared with Walter's appearance, the two are like two extremes, one is sinister and ugly, and the other seems upright and peaceful.
Seeing this, Rogge shook his head secretly, I don't know what this person's personality is, if it is really like his appearance, it is strange that he can rob his wife with Walter!
"Lord Owen. I saw Klein's voice and said in a hearty voice: "The year-end festival has not yet arrived, so you came to inspect it so early?"
"The owner's health is getting worse and worse, and it would be better to end this year sooner. "There is something in Owen's words.
"It's okay..."Klein nodded slowly, then looked at Rex and said, "I heard that my men offended the adults?"
"The little things have been dealt with. Owen waved his hand and smiled unconcernedly.
Hearing this, Rogge secretly frowned, looked up at Crane, and just as Crane looked back at him, he said with a smile: "You are the shopkeeper of Luo Ji, right?"
"It's me, my lord. Rogge's brow furrowed even tighter when he heard this.
"It's not easy to be young! it's too cold outside, so don't stand outside, go into the house and say—" said Klein and stretched out his hand to invite the two of them in.
"Okay, then we..."
"My lord, why are you the only two commanders under your command, and what about the others?" Rog interrupted Owen and asked with childlike curiosity as he looked at Klein and tilted his head.
"They're all training soldiers, and it's almost time to get there..."Klein waved his hand and smiled: "The city defense army can't be seen if it doesn't train, let the adults..."
"Owen, take him!"
Halfway through Klein's words, he saw Rogge's eyes widen and he screamed, Owen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and reacted in the blink of an eye, raising his hand like Crane grabbing it, and the speed was extremely fast.
But when his hand was in the air, he saw the corners of Crane's mouth curled, with a prepared expression, he jumped backwards, and instantly crossed a distance of four or five meters.
"Hmph!" Crane narrowed his eyes, sneered, drew out the big sword in his waist, and slashed towards Owen in an instant, and the speed was so fast that there was a sound of breaking the wind.
Seeing this, Owen's eyes froze, and his body in mid-air turned instantly, and in the middle of the turn, his hands went deep into his waist, and after the turn, two cold rays appeared, and when he looked at it, it was actually two curved sickles!
The whole body of the curved sickle is black, I don't know what material it is made of, two fingers wide, one finger thin, and two cold rays come out of the silver scythe on the inside of the curved sickle, which makes people look at it coldly.
After all, he was a third-order martial artist, so he saw Owen holding a curved scythe on the back of his left hand, blocking Crane's big sword in an instant, and the scythe in his right hand slashed out, and immediately arrived at Crane's neck and stopped!.
At this time, the curved sickle was close to the skin on Klein's neck, but it did not enter the skin at all, and the timing and strength were just right, which made people feel frightened at the same time, and had to admire Owen's kung fu with this curved sickle!
The whole process was too fast, everything just happened between breaths, Owen turned from the air, and then captured Crane, the action was synthesized in one go, and he was extremely sophisticated, and Crane only swung a sword, and then he had no power to fight back!
"O... Deacon Owen, don't be impulsive, my life is in their hands!" Before Owen could speak, Rogge's exclamation came from behind.
Turning his head to look, he saw Hogan holding a long sword on Rogge's neck, because Rogge was too small, Hogan simply lifted Rogge up, and at this time, Rogge raised his hands in front of him, with an excited expression, grinning embarrassedly: "Big.. Everyone has something to say.. Well said.."
"Hahaha, it's worthy of Deacon Owen!" Seeing this, Klein slowly put down the long sword in his hand, looked at Owen and smiled: "The third-order martial artist is really not simple!"
"You're so good!" At this moment, Owen's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he stared at Klein and said, "This skill has the level of a second-order martial artist, it's so deeply hidden!"
"Just entered the second order!" Hearing Owen's words, Klein's eyes flashed with pride, and he said slowly: "But there is no way to compare with you..."
As he was talking, the sound of dense footsteps in the town sounded, and after a while, the front of the administrative office was surrounded by heavily armed city defense troops, and when he saw this, Owen said coldly: "Crane, what do you mean by this?"
"Lord Owen, I'm in your hands now, don't be so careful, right?!" Klein glanced at the scythe in Owen's hand, and said without fear, "Isn't the purpose of your coming here for these city defenders?"
"You know?!" Owen asked, with a look in his eyes.
"It's not been a day or two that my subordinates have been disrespectful to you, but you chose to kill people at this time, why can't I see it?!" Crane said and looked at Rogge, "I just don't understand how you can see it?"
"Can you let him put me down first, I'm such a small man, and I can't run. Rogge smiled brightly.
"Put our guests down!" Klein said, waving his hand.
"Guest?!" After Rogge was put down, he straightened his clothes and said, "I've never seen you treat guests like this, I'd better go into the house and say, it's cold outside." ”
"Good boy, you're welcome. Kliman said, glancing at Owen.
"Deacon Owen, let him go, we'll be fine, but we really need to have a good talk with this leader!" Rogge said, waving his hand.
Owen put down the scythe in his hand suspiciously, not knowing what Rogge's idea was, but kept a one-hit killing distance from Crane, and everyone slowly entered the house.
The hall was simply furnished, with only a few tables and chairs, Rogge found a place to do it, looked at Klein and said: "Actually, it looks very simple, your subordinates offended Deacon Owen and were executed, how can no one pass on your supreme officer..."
"On the way here, our carriage was not fast, and the incident happened next to the barracks, how could the rest of your commanders not receive the news, you said that they were not there, it is indeed suspicious..."
"After entering the town, almost all the residents are stopping to look, the carriage of the Viscount's Mansion should not be the first time to come here, there is no reason for these people to look like this, after coming here, they are full of strange appearances, you say, how can I not guess?!"
"Good, good!" Klein squinted at Rogge, "Can you guess how I know what you're here for?"
"It's not hard to guess. Rogge continued: "Last night's big move in the city, the slums outside the city will inevitably hear it, I'm afraid there are your people in the slums, you just said, Lord Owen killed people, although you don't know the situation in the city, but you must have guessed that Lord Owen is going to do something to you!"
"Lord Owen, it seems that there is an amazing child in your Viscount's Palace...", Crane continued to ask, "But, how do you know that I won't do anything to you?"
"Why wait until now if you want to do it?!" Rogge asked rhetorically, "I just don't know what you mean by guest?"
After hearing this, Klein looked at Owen: "Lord Owen, I did this just to show my sincerity..."
"What sincerity?" asked Owen with a frown.
"Sincerity to Lord Viscount!" Klein replied.
After hearing this, Owen looked surprised, glanced at Rogge, and Klein continued: "Walter has done a lot of evil and ruined the reputation of our Tours family, I have long been unable to see it, and Lord Viscount is a hereditary title, and his status is extremely noble, but Walter has committed a crime, violated the laws of the Empire, and I am ashamed to have such a person in my family!"
Speaking of this, Klein looked at the suspicious Owen, and said with a sad and indignant expression: "My lord, I'm afraid I don't know, since Walter became a baron, he has always had a grudge against me, if I hadn't mastered these city defenses earlier, I'm afraid my life would be gone now!"
"After my subordinates reported last night's incident, I was worried about the safety of the Viscount, and I couldn't sleep all night, but I didn't dare to rush out of the army, lest the Viscount misunderstand, until today I have been waiting for your arrival, the reason why I did this is really a last resort, Lord Owen, for offending the nobles, I hope you will forgive me!"
Klein's words were sincere, his attitude was sincere, and he couldn't find the slightest fault in his words, Owen couldn't pay attention after hearing it, and looked at Rogge, who looked up and smiled when he saw this: "Lord Crane, you want to help Lord Viscount eradicate Walter, this villain, why do you have to do it today?"
When Owen heard this, he reacted, if Klein really wants to deal with Walter, there is no need to wait until now, there should be many opportunities in seven years, thinking of this, he looked at Crane and wanted to hear Crane's explanation.
"It's not that I don't want to shoot. Klein explained: "There are 3,000 city defense troops in the city, and the security army guarding the city gate is also in Walter's hands, if I make a rash move, the movement will be great, once Walter discovers it, I am afraid that Walter will be unfavorable to Lord Viscount!"
"This reason seems to be reasonable, but there are still many loopholes, and if you conspire with the Viscount and lay out the details, I don't think there will be too much of a problem. Rogge said, looking at Klein, "My lord, it's all come to this point, there's no need to hide it." ”
After hearing this, Walter stared at Rogge for a long time, and exclaimed with an exclamation: "I finally know why Walter lost, it turned out to be because of you!"
"You've won the prize!" replied Rogge.
Just listen to Klein slowly...
