Chapter 82: Loyalty
"Tell me what you know." Arnold patted Marshall's cheek with the blade of his sword and sat down at the table looking at him.
"Lord Baron, I really, I don't know anything." Marshall knelt on the ground and whispered in pain, his loyalty was unmatched, but he couldn't cut open his chest, lift his skull, and prove himself to the baron.
Arnold stared indifferently for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Very good, very good, very good." ”
"Since you say you are very loyal to me, then I want you to kill Cyril."
Marshall looked up a little dazed, Cyril, isn't that just-
"Lord Campbell......" he muttered.
"Offer me your loyalty." Arnold tilted his head, his eyes full of banter, and Marshall looked at each other for a moment, who, like his brother, never trusted anyone.
With that, he put his sword back into its sheath and strode out of the room.
Marshall stood up in a daze, and assassinated an earl, not to mention the difficulty and consequences, which to his concept was like a lowly worm crawling in the dirt, trying to offend a dragon soaring into the sky.
It's an out-and-out transgression, completely in conflict with the ideas he has had for most of his life.
"How can I, a lowly knight like me, assassinate an earl......" The thought lingered in his mind, and when he was helpless, he suddenly remembered Baron Arnold, and remembered the look at him just now.
The banter, the sarcasm in Arnold's eyes, seemed familiar and familiar, as if he had ever seen it in someone's eyes.
"Yes, that person is me." Marshall staggered to his feet, walked out the door, and ran toward the backyard.
He remembered that those untouchables who were played with alive by him to death, the eyes reflected in their eyes, which belonged to him, were so high.
"Wow"
A bucket of water was carried up by Marshall, and in the rippled water, he saw his own eyes now—
There is no difference from those untouchables whom he dismisses.
"No, no, no!" Marshall kicked over the bucket with a bang, he roared hoarsely, drew his broadsword with a loud bang, and said stubbornly: "I am different from those untouchables, I am a knight, I am their master, and I have loyalty!" ”
"My Loyal ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took his sword and walked away with firm steps.
The entrance of the small courtyard rented by Heshan.
"Knock~Knock~Knock~"
"Who are you?" He Shan opened the door and was a middle-aged man wearing a loose robe and a silk shirt underneath.
"Lord Heshan, whose name is Richard, is a third-level wizard apprentice of the Illusion Department stationed in the Antley Kingdom and Campbell Territory." Richard, the wizard's apprentice, had a warm smile on his face, and even took the initiative to bow slightly.
The nobles of the Blue Sea Plane would be shocked when they saw it, and this guy who was known for his arrogance could laugh so ......
Flattering.
Of course, if he is more familiar with his friends and enemies, he will feel normal, and the slippery head of this illusion department is itself a very good at, well, licking the strong and hugging the thighs.
often makes some tricks that are conceitful and flattering, and it is precisely because of this that a certain boss in the illusion department knows about it and doesn't like it, so his mentor casually sent him to the blue ocean plane.
"Wizard apprentice? Nightcrow told you something about me? He Shan knew that after he was exposed, the news would inevitably become the intelligence reserve of the Night Crow, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and on the fourth day, his news was sold.
Richard took out a golden box from his wide sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile: "No, no, don't get me wrong, the latest information of the Night Raven for VIPs will not be easily sold within a year, but there is some cooperation between our illusion faction and the Night Raven, and the information of the Blue Ocean Plane will be shared if it does not involve the interests of the higher levels." ”
'It won't be easy', the implication is that the money spent is still sold for anything.
"That's it." He Shan didn't take the golden box, there was no accident in it, it should be a magic stone, he knew that the intelligence organization was unreliable, and he really didn't think anything about it, anyway, they didn't know anything, they didn't think too much, and asked, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" ”
"You have just arrived at the border of our wizard civilization, there must be many things that you are not familiar with, the intelligence fee of the night crow is too dark, and it is all some basic common sense and still charges, please rest assured, my lord Richard is most disgusted with these intelligence dealers, and he will never ask for intelligence fees with such a noble person as an adult." Richard patted his chest and smiled.
"Alright, tell me your purpose." He Shan doesn't like this kind of person who obviously has a purpose, but still has to go around in a big circle, and flattery is really not very acceptable.
Richard didn't look embarrassed or embarrassed, put away his smile, as if the cold reception just now hadn't happened at all, and said seriously: "I want to ask Lord to help me leave the blue ocean plane." ”
"Come in and talk about it." He Shan looked at him differently, and the person who was self-conscious and able to observe words and emotions was definitely a capable person, and there was no harm in chatting properly.
Richard's city government couldn't help but show a little joy on his face, and said happily: "Thank you, sir, for giving me this opportunity." ”
……
Corner of Port 2 of Potdingston.
The boat docked, and before the elevator was hit, a shirtless majestic man jumped down and landed with a bang.
"Long time no see, Arnold." The strong man had a heroic smile on his face.
Arnold was dressed in civilian clothes, and the expression on his face was very indifferent, and he replied nonchalantly: "Virgil, you are late. ”
"I met two fat sheep on the way, and I was delayed for some time, why, can the Baron punish me for my crime?" The strong man named Virgil pushed back unceremoniously, and then said, "What you said about the big business you came to me is true?" ”
"Andrew is dead." Arnold said calmly, "I'm going to get back what belongs to me." ”
Virgil's smile froze, he had always begged for a living on the North Coast, and he hadn't returned to the South for more than a year and a half, and this time it was Arnold who activated the secret message to send him a message in advance, but he didn't expect it......
"Andrew is dead?" His face was a little solemn, he was not Andrew, but he was a comrade-in-arms with Arnold back then, and then he happened to take the road of pirates, so he did not return to his hometown, he was very familiar with Arnold, without restraint, once the mad dog came out of the cage, the consequences would be very bloody.
"I will be succeeded by my nephew Cyril, who has been studying in the north, and I want you to repay the favor very simply, help me capture the city of Potdingston, kill that little brute, and take back everything I have."
Arnold's tone was soft.
