Chapter 149: The Peeper

Driven by huge interests, Baron Farah burst out with amazing action, and it only took less than a day to gather all the grain handed over by the surrounding estates, and under the call of the young lady, the surrounding lords did not have any suspicion. As for how to deal with the problem after they find out, it is not a problem for Mr. Baron to consider, since he has made up his mind to leave, he naturally has no psychological burden to betray his friends.

Even the power of the ants should not be underestimated, and this little aristocrat who feeds on the land is like a vole in the field, and if you don't dig them out, it's hard to imagine how many reserves are hidden in their burrows. The grain gathered by the nine lords was more than 50,000 catties, and the carriages carrying the grain were lined up outside Baron Farah's manor. The chauffeurs, servants, and guards of each family together numbered more than a hundred.

It is not an easy problem to openly resell under the noses of so many people. However, this is not a problem for Baron Farah to worry about. Since he got so much food as agreed, El naturally didn't mind being honest and trustworthy, and settled the account with him without saying a word.

Baron Farah took the small suitcase from Mr. Thomas's hand, and just as soon as he felt the unusual weight in his hand, he almost dislocated his arm. Monsieur Baron was not surprised, and took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders beside him, and he could not wait to open the box, and suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and the crotch of his trousers almost turned into a warm swamp.

Inside the chest were neatly placed two rows of twenty gold bricks, each of which was engraved with the mark of "99%", which exuded a faint strange brilliance. This is not an ordinary gold coin circulating in the market, but a high-purity gold brick purified by a professional alchemy potion, in addition to its own value, it can also be used as a basic material for crafting magical items, so its value is often more than ten times more than that of ordinary gold of the same weight.

In addition, it should be noted that this kind of purified gold bricks can only be found in the secret vaults of those ancient families with real depth, and it is also one of the hard goods that only circulate in the upper class, because this kind of gold bricks have a slight purple halo after purification, so it is also called purple gold.

At the time of the fall of Istaron, Antonio ordered the opening of the family's vault to everyone. The White Lion family has been stationed in Isttalon for three hundred years, relying on the wealth accumulated in the Yunlu Mountains, not to mention, just looking at the fact that they can take out a rare vein to trade with the Temple of Life, and even take the dignified Holy Nun with them, you know how tyrant this family is, and it is no wonder that it will attract the suspicion of the royal family.

At that time, Tiana was appointed by the firing line as the vice president of the academy and the family worship mage, and had the right to use 70% of the city's human and material resources, and it was precisely because of her critical order that she finally organized the current team of exiles. Although time was short, she also rushed a lot of important materials, including a light and valuable property like this batch of purple gold. With such an asset as the backing, the magician girl will naturally have the confidence to speak and do things.

Of course, in Baron Farah's eyes, these purple gold were far more valuable than they were, like the silver emblem on El's chest, a sign of social class. A low-level nobleman like him was particularly fanatical about this sign that represented the upper class. At this time, Baron Farah's mind was already covered with a layer of purple-gold light, and he didn't notice that the value of this box of purple gold had exceeded the price of food, and Lolana, who had always been careful about budgeting, didn't even open his mouth this time.

El didn't care about the little suitcase, but instead focused on the mountain of grain. Although these are old grains for the next year, they are still too luxurious for their own group of stray wild dogs. Not only him, but Renard, Timmy, and Kenan were also staring at the food in a demented manner, their eyes glowing green. In all fairness, these people are all handsome, and no matter what, they will not get mixed up to the point where they can't eat. But it is precisely because of this kind of mixing that I can deeply realize the value of food.

On this side, Baron Farah was holding the small suitcase and was excited, and when he saw Lolana looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to the things under his feet, and fell with a plop A dog gnawed mud, and the small suitcase in his arms fell to the ground, and the gold bricks inside were thrown out.

Baron Farah let out a pig-killing wail, and without thinking of standing up, he jumped on top of the small box, shielding the halo of gold bricks with his body. He lay on the ground without hesitation, picked up the gold bricks and stuffed them back into the small box as quickly as he could, and then got up in embarrassment, held the small box in his arms, and rushed into his manor with his head covered.

Since he deliberately chose a secluded corner for the place where he and El traded, the scene did not attract much attention. As an eyewitness, El and his party did not pay any attention to him at this time, and they didn't seem to see this farce at all.

Palanti stared straight ahead with an expressionless face, and after a long silence, his eyes changed, and he subconsciously wanted to grab the hilt of his sword. Er, who was standing beside her, waved his hand seemingly casually, opening her palm to the side.

"Feel it...... Lolana said as she returned to El, curled under her hood and lowered her voice.

"Well, sure enough, there are still voyeurs. El pursed his lips and said in the same low voice: "We did have an omission before, Baron Farah is a greedy and lustful manor owner, he does not have the courage to spy on our team, then there must be someone else who is peeping." It shouldn't be a person from Sword Castle, otherwise they should have jumped out a long time ago when they saw us trading like this, not to mention that they are too busy to take care of themselves now, how can they bother to pay attention to such a trivial matter. ”

What made him and Tiana feel that something wasn't quite right before this was these vague peeping glances. With his and Tiana's perceptual abilities, if it was an ordinary peeper, they would be exposed three hundred meters away, but this time the prying eyes they received were so weak that they could almost ignore it, and they couldn't find the source of the peeping gaze. El had taken this feeling as his own delusion, but after they had deliberately arranged for Baron Farah to show his fortune, they finally grasped a clue.

"After ruling out all other possibilities, the final answer must be the truth, if it is unbelievable. Lolana chuckled, covering her mouth.

In this area, apart from the local Sword Fort forces, the only people who are likely to be a threat are those refugees. I have to admit that because of Tiana's presence, the orderly order of the exile ranks has given everyone the illusion that it is nothing more than that. But in reality, trying to organize a team of six or seven thousand people in an orderly manner is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. This is also the reason why Tiana is busy as a dog every day, and her subordinate conference delegates can't help at all, and no one else has this kind of leadership.

When El realized this, he immediately realized that he had been overlooked. If this army of exiles had bothered Tiana so much, what could the 30,000 refugees gathered outside the Sword Castle have to rely on?

Lolana was right, after all possibilities were ruled out, the remaining answer was sure to be the truth, if not believable. No one can single-handedly bring refugees together on such a scale, so there must be a large organization hidden in the refugee community. El had seen many examples of this before, such as the Cursed Sect, such as the Society of Truth, in short, it was not a good thing to hide it.

Although the possibility of these two old rivals is not ruled out, El prefers the choice of "strange forces", because this organization relies on its own unknown reconnaissance methods, and unscrupulously snoops on itself, which seems reckless and greedy. These guys feel like robbers in the browned hills, suggesting that they are more or less scum of this level. And El has always been very experienced in dealing with this kind of scum.

The easiest way is to ditch the discipline and compare them with the lower limit, than who is more single. They feel that their lives are not worth much, so they dare to fight hard? Kill as many people as they want, and kill them until their brains are clear, and they can naturally solve the problem.

"Mr. Thomas, I wonder if you have any advice on this kind of question?" asked Lolana, turning back to the gold pointer who was willing to be a prop with her.

"You joked, how could a merchant in the lower district know about the situation of those refugees who had never heard of the outbreak of the plague outside. Thomas coughed, lowered his head and said humbly.

"You're being too humble to say that, but it's true that I'm asking in the wrong direction. A hint of thought flashed in Lorana's eyes, and she slowly said to Thomas, "I can give you some reference clues, such as...... This is supposed to be an underground social organization of the common class, the strength of the organization is not particularly strong, but the members are widely distributed, at least in the northern provinces. They possess one or more abilities that seem mysterious, and as a result, develop the characteristics of a cult of personality. So the organization should have some religious characteristics, but without the patronage of real gods. The Sword Castle side is not in a hurry, which means that the two of them have communicated, and if you think about it this way, maybe they also have a public legitimate identity......"

Thomas, the gold pointer, stopped the eldest lady's reasoning speech in a cold sweat, and said calmly: "If you extrapolate according to the conditions you said, then there is only one possibility that meets the requirements in the north of the Oakland Kingdom, and that is the Masonry Brotherhood!"
