Early in the morning, in the Consulate, Duke Hans walked around the room, looking very anxious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a short time, he walked to the window and looked at the lake, which had become his habit, whenever something important happened or a difficult decision was made, he would look outside at the blue lake like a mirror, the beauty of Lake Kurkh would calm him down from his anxiety and help him make the right judgment.
He had received a report of what had happened in the gambling house and by the city walls, and the woman who had escaped also gave details of the two cases, the two cases were committed by the same person, and the murderer did not kill for money, the evidence was that there were nearly sixty gold coins in the gambling house that had not been lost.
But it is somewhat strange that the corpses under the city walls were taken from near the gambling house, showing signs of being turned over, and empty money bags were thrown on the ground.
Could it be just something on the deceased's body? But there were still more than a dozen people in the gambling house who had not been turned over, and it seemed that the goal of that person was very clear.
Hans was a little upset, there are too many things to worry about these days, Lord Xia Rui came to inquire about the progress of the slave capture team almost every day, and it didn't take long for such a major murder case to occur in the city, adding up to fifteen deaths in one night, fortunately, seven lured girls were rescued from the basement, which could be used to cover up the progress of the case, of course, those women who escaped for their lives were also given gag orders.
Hans's gaze moved from the boat on the lake to the hundreds of ice sculptures, and suddenly his heart was shocked to think of something.
The dead are all adventurers, and the people of the slave catching team are also dressed as adventurers, could it be that Xia Rui and Ota arranged people to do it? But who can kill a dozen people in such a short time with their own strength?
Such a strong combat force...... Could it be Ota? He has a magic orb weapon, and I have to say that Hans's guess is close to reality.
"It seems that they thought I was deliberately delaying, or even defending Kerry, so they used lynching to kill the slave captors, so that's it. Kerry is going to fight back in a rage, hey...... Don't these rough people know how to forbear, don't they know how to wait? You think the Dark Knights are so easy to deal with?......" Hans shook his head helplessly.
All morning, Hans had been thinking about what to do, and he didn't want chaos under his rule. I don't want to ruin the good situation that I have worked so hard to manage.
If you help the Guards to bring down the Dark Knights, although you can do it, the gains outweigh the losses, and it will lead to more serious revenge, after all, they have the support of the Great Prince behind the scenes.
Moreover, the Dark Knights are distributed in twenty-three city-states, and if they are wiped out, they will attract more Dark Knights. It is very likely to break the current delicate balance, after all, the third prince and the eldest prince still seem to be very harmonious on the surface, and the two of them don't want to tear their faces to meet each other before the old emperor dies.
But if you don't help the guards, how can Xia Rui and Ota's thousand sergeants be the opponents of the Dark Knights? Outa is a young forger, and it is very likely that he will become a master or even a forging grandmaster in the future, and it will be an enshrined existence in the royal family.
He can use extremely powerful magic bead weapons, and it is very likely that he has mastered the manufacture of magic bead weapons, such a person is extremely rare in the Three Emperors Alliance. The metal prosthetics he developed have already brought benefits to himself, and his prestige has increased dramatically. The disabled sergeants had begun to become self-reliant, and all these achievements had been written into letters to the royal family and the city-states, and presumably the royal awards would soon be awarded.
At that time, he can promote the achievements of each city-state, the title of viscount is already at his fingertips, and the three princes will trust themselves more, and their positions and rights will be greater.
So, no one can mess with me, no one can ruin my plans, Hans thought to himself at the moment. So the bell was pressed.
Paul pushed the door open, "What do you command?"
"You go in person, make an appointment with Duke Henry, his son, and the Marquis de Charry's brothers, and say that I will invite them to lunch at noon tomorrow. ”
Just as Paul was about to turn away. Hans adds:
"If they don't come and don't come, tell them, 'If you come, you will have something to eat, but if you don't come, you will have nothing to eat.' I think they know what to do. ”
"Yes, the words of adult will be delivered by all means. Paul turned and walked away.
......
The gladiatorial arena is made of huge rocks, and after entering the gate, there are stairs dozens of stories high, and the middle of the stairs is flanked on either side. It is a passage made of black rock that surrounds the entire arena, and the stone walls on both sides of the passage are filled with torches that stretch to the end of the vision.
According to the memory of the iron plate, Ota walked into the passage along the right-hand side, there were not many people coming and going in the passage, a cell could be seen every ten meters, the iron fence with thick arms was connected up and down in the stone wall, and in the middle of the fence was a small iron door wrapped with iron chains, which was covered with straw, and there were dried blood stains on the ground, and the color was dark.
On the stone wall at the top of each cell hangs a round wooden plaque the size of a skull, with different noble names and family emblems on them. It turned out that each cell was private property, bought by idle nobles in the gladiatorial arena to keep their war slaves during the gladiatorial fight.
Ota walked expressionlessly, from the novelty at the beginning to the silence now, it only took a short time. From the moment he entered the city-state and saw the slums, Ota had already gained a deep understanding of the current situation of the Terrans.
Especially in the memories he got in the past few days, he was shocked by the evil and dark things, he never thought that some people were more terrible than witches and orc leaders, they bullied men and women and trafficked people, they killed innocents with black hearts, what they did could not be called human beings, and they were all exalted by animals.
Every time these images flashed through his mind, Ota's anger became even more irrepressible, and he secretly vowed that if he let himself meet them, even if the bloodthirsty thoughts in his body broke out again, he would let these people die under the most cruel punishment.
Ota kept a calm face all the way, and saw several war slaves pressed in the two iron prisons one after another, their bodies were scarred, and countless scars were exposed under the new injuries, but they were all very fierce and fierce, looking at Ota passing by.
Outside the prison door, there were also several armored sergeants guarding the cells, these people were the private soldiers of the nobles, and they talked about the affairs of men and women without any scruples.
Deep in the tunnel, the air became more and more cloudy, with the stench of moldy straw and rotting flesh.
After walking for nearly a kilometer, Ota finally found the broken rock in his memory, and Ota saw that the gap was in the middle of his head, so he pressed his body tightly against the stone wall on the right, looked up and slanted, and immediately saw a white stone bench, but unfortunately it was empty underneath, and there was nothing.
Outa was a little disappointed, it seems that the slave catching team will not have a mission today, and the iron duck will not appear. But Ota didn't give up, and decided to wait and see, if he could catch the iron cards, the team members would be fine.
Ota continued to walk forward, then extinguished a torch a dozen meters away, and disappeared into the darkness.
