Chapter 134: Listening to the Duke of Yinggang
"Clever, where is clever?" asked Eve, puzzled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lance smiled and said, "Because this will help us clear our minds of suspicion." ”
"Huh?" At this time, not only Eve was confused, but even Loxani was confused: "What do you mean?"
The guard, codenamed "The Parasitic of the Pavilion", explained: "Your Excellency Reims is worthy of being the crowner who wears the laurel ring. You can see through it at a glance. That's right, I'm taking you in as a first step. The reason for being a cook was just a pretext. Because if you do go into the kitchen, then it's not easy to get out. A cook, a cook. Whoever of you leaves for a while, everyone knows. So I prepared the waiter's costume and the key. Sneaking in as a waiter is less likely to arouse suspicion. ”
Lance continued: "There is a third, once something goes wrong. We can escape to the dungeon immediately to avoid being the target of suspicion. After all, who would suspect us suspects in dungeons?"
"That's right. "Parasitic" said: "Once the matter is revealed, I can find a reason to let you out first." Because those of you who are locked up in the dungeon, suspicion must be the first to be ruled out. And in fact, among the castles, the dungeon is the least likely place to be searched. ”
Eve suddenly realized, "I see. ”
"But Princess Eve, please stay in the dungeon. "Xie Parasitic" said: "I am afraid that your appearance is too special, and I am afraid that someone will know you." It would be better to let Lord Lance go. ”
Eve was puzzled: "This ......"
"Rest assured, trust me. Lance patted Eve on the shoulder and smiled, "You should know my details about working with me for so long." ”
Eve thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, please." Be sure to come back safely. ”
"Yes!"
With that, Lance put on his waiter's clothes, and carried a bucket and brush with a lid. Disguised as a messenger of cleanliness and hygiene. And Roxani was hiding in the compartment of the bucket.
Lance followed the "Parasitic Pavilion" out of another tunnel in the dungeon and to the square.
"The Parasitic" gave Lance a small map, then pointed to the surrounding buildings and said, "You see, on the top floor is the Eagle Balcony, where the Duchess Christina has a private salon. Next door, there will be a room with a carved wooden door, easily recognizable, which is the duke's private drawing-room. According to the tip, in an hour, the Duke would meet his brother-in-law, Eric, Duke of Monslor, there to discuss important matters. It is very likely to have something to do with Princess Isabella. So wherever you go, just lay an ambush and eavesdrop. ”
"Understood. ”
"If you have any accidents, just go to the dungeon. ”
Lance nodded, so he put away the map, picked up the barrel and brushes, and walked towards his destination.
Along the way, everyone seemed to be very busy, and everyone was eager to grow ten hands and eight feet. So I didn't care about Reims's actions. In addition, Lance is still very good at recognizing maps. So Lance went to find Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hill, in his private parlor.
Lance slipped inside and found a very modest little living room with a desk, a few chairs, a few wardrobes and bookshelves. The shelves are neatly filled with all kinds of sturdy books.
Lance glanced at it, and it was all books related to military, politics, and law. And there are a lot of drag-out marks on the shelves, and many books are worn around the edges. I'm afraid Samuel reads these books a lot.
Looking around, it seems that there is only a wardrobe to hide. So Lance opened the closet and hid in the dense clothes. Quietly waiting.
Originally, the temperature of the wardrobe was fine. But when Lance was stuffed in, the wardrobe grew hot. Lance gradually began to sweat profusely, and his mouth was dry because he began to sweat and become dehydrated.
But now I can only endure it. Because I don't know when Samuel will come in. When he comes, he hides again, but I'm afraid that there will be a lot of flaws.
In the pile of mink clothes, Lance was going crazy. Even Loxani couldn't help but run out of the compartment of the bucket.
"Oh my God, it's so hot, when is this old duke coming?"
"Shhhh......h The two of them had to wait quietly.
I don't know how long it took. Finally, Lance, who was already a little dizzy, heard the "creak" of the door opening.
Lance's body shook violently and woke up.
Then came a man who sounded a little weak: "Samuel, my good brother-in-law, what the hell are you going to do here? ”
At this time, a man with a voice as thick as a lion and as calm as a bear said:
"Eric, when will you be bold? When we were united and independent, you were also so submissive and timid. I was so frightened by that old boy in Aceh that I didn't dare to rebel. But then, we didn't have to spend a single soldier, and Aceh compromised. You have also changed from a Marquis of Monslor to a Duke of Monslor. You should have a little more confidence. ”
It seems that this person with a strong voice is Samuel, Duke of Eagle Gang. And the other man who was submissive was Eric, Duke of Monslol.
Eric, the Duke of Monslor, said hesitantly: "But wouldn't it be good for us to develop our country well, why do we have such a big game? Today's banquet, even the Holy Elves have been invited." They are our enemies. ”
"Enemies?" said Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hill, "there is never in my dictionary the words enemy and friend. To deal with the Duchy of Idiris, the Council of Eternal Truth is our best ally. ”
"Not long ago, however, they looted one of my settlements. Obviously, that settlement is within my borders. But they killed all my people on the grounds that I had destroyed the forest!"
Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hill, put his arms around Eric, Duke of Monslor, and immediately frightened Eric to tremble. Duke Samuel said, "Then don't settle immigrants around the forest." That's what the elves say, what...... It is called the protection of nature. ”
"Samuel, your country is a bald mountain, so naturally you don't have to worry about any bullshit to protect nature. But I'm different!"
Eric bitterly said: "In nineteen years, the first post-war baby boomers have reached adulthood. They don't have land, I don't open up the forest, where does the land come to settle them? Where do they go to make a living? Unlike you, as long as you guard the prosperous Han **** road and monopolize the trade of silk and tea, you will have a steady stream of income and jobs. ”
"Anyway!" Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hills, raised his voice and said, "I don't want to hear about you and the elves again and affect my grand plan to unify Idiris. Otherwise, I'll let you know why I'm called 'Duke of Stoneheart'!"
With that, Samuel, the Duke of Eagle Hill, sat down in his chair. There was always a hint of anger on his face.
Duke Eric hurriedly nodded and followed to Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hill, and said aggrievedly in a compromised tone: "Okay, I'll just listen to you." But I heard something else. I'm going to ask anyway. ”
"Say!"
Duke Eric frowned, rubbed his hands, and anxiously paced back and forth a few steps, saying, "I heard some wind. Tell you the truth, Isabella, the eldest princess of Idris, did you kidnap her?"
