Volume I: The End of the World 133

"Did the Oriden cubs follow you?"

"Yes."

"Still nothing?"

"Most of them have left their homes in Isden, and there is still a liaison in Isden."

"Oriden must know about your contact with the Barov family. Did they say anything in front of Easten? ”

"No, they barely have access to Easten." Ralph said as he handed me a roll of paper, "This is Oriden's reply. ”

"Want me to find out?" Looking at the simple two lines of words on the note, I began to think again.

"How are you going to trick him?" Ralph said.

"If Isden's mutiny is confirmed, then the next step is to let Isden collude with Barov."

"Huh?"

"I mean, how do these two collude to make Oriden decide to do it?"

"What about this mine?" Ralph raised his eyelids and looked at me.

"Their apparent feud is meant to cover up the illusion of their cooperation." I say.

"I can't figure out how this thing you're talking about should be done." Ralph pouted.

"Part of the gold from this mineral was taken by Isden, who was Barov's early cover." I say. "The riots in the gold mines were all planned by Isden for Auriden to see!"

"Why?" Ralph said, "You have to have a reason, why is Isden like this!" He concealed ...... Oriden"

I looked into Ralph's eyes, and he blinked, as if he understood. "Isden killed Fred to ...... Blame Oriden? There was a little surprise on his face, "But it didn't work out!" Barov colluded with Eastern...... For what? ”

"In order to develop his reserve strength, Oriden lost the trust of Barov, and this is the reason! Barov needed a puppet, a puppet to be able to control, and Oriden was clearly not. ”

"Why?"

"How the hell do I know why!" I said, "It's a joke for myself, and I can only guess why they colluded together, at least a reasonable explanation, and then I can frame our actions along that lines." ”

"Hmm......" Ralph pouted. And what's more! ”

"You interrupted my train of thought!" I complained. Ralph looked at me and pouted.

This is why Barov is looking for Isden, Isden wants to usurp power, and Barov needs a proxy. Everything Barov is doing in the town of Nanhai is a cover-up. I bit my lip. What if Oridon was told that Barov was also involved in Fred's murder? ”

Ralph's eyes were fixed on me. "It's a bit too much!"

"He has a reason for doing so." I said, "Fred promised that Symbian of Brill would return the land occupied by the Barov family when he ascended the throne, but did I report this to Fred?" "I suddenly can't remember how I handled it.

"Tsk." Ralph smacked his lips. "Almost, if you give this set of words to the current Oriden, eighty percent of him will be surprised to drop his pants on the spot."

Personally, I feel that this reason is sufficient at the moment, and Barov, the guy who seeks the country, must be able to remind Oriden of what happened to Talenmere a few years ago. Satisfied, he patted Ralph on the shoulder. "Tomorrow you come and send this letter out. Also, this mine, although the amount of gold produced is not very large, but this is already a miracle, where is the gold of the Barov family, you better investigate it early! ”

A few days later, Ralph sent Ouriden a reply. The look on his face told me that my plan had been done so far.

"How are you going to proceed? Schemer. ”

"The future kings have said that they will kill him, and they have to do it." I tore the note no bigger than grit.

"The money hasn't been paid yet, brother." Ralph's kind reminder.

"You've got a bit of a brain." I praised.

"you. Getting down to business, how do you prepare? ”

"Here in Oriden, what we're going to do is get the money first, brother." I say.

"Steps." He spat out the word directly.

"Ask for money first." As I spoke, I handed him a note that I had prepared. "Also, in the near future, you'd better increase the security forces around Isden by two levels. Isden: He doesn't know anything yet, but he's dangerous right now! ”

Auriden's letter was not long overdue, but Ralph was admiring when he saw me again.

"You guessed it right." He handed me a note.

"What guessed right?" I opened the note, and Oriden agreed to my request, seventy percent of the 500 gold coins, and when Isden died, pay the remaining thirty percent.

A crying child has milk to eat, and he has to learn to make conditions. I looked at Ralph, "What's going on?" ”

"You may not be able to get your money." He said.

"How?"

"Last night, Isden almost died!" Ralph said. He smiled, "If it weren't for your reminder, he might have died." ”

"Really?"

"Last night, those little cubs came to visit, and it turned out to be really backwater! If it weren't for my quick eye, our handsome Lord Isden would be gone. ”

"Just you?" I'm a little bit unconvinced.

"It started with myself." There was a glint in his eyes, and he seemed to be a little proud.

"You old arms and legs, can you stop those little cubs?"

"Are you underestimating me?" His face suddenly became serious again.

"Let's get to the point, what's going on in the end."

"Catch one, and after more humane torture, he told the truth." Ralph said, "Oriden asked them to do it. ”

"What else?"

"It's gone."

"Didn't say why?"

"What, why?"

"Does Easten know why he was killed?"

"I don't think so." Ralph's tone wasn't very sure.

"If that's the case, I've got to go to an event!" I looked at his face and said slowly.

Barov's agent in Nanhai Town is a very stingy guy, but this kind of person often has a lot of hands and feet when it comes to spending money. He spent a lot of money on building fortifications and hired a lot of bodyguards. The number of security guards in the mine has increased significantly in the past few days.

According to Ralph, there must have been more than twenty of his own people inside. I don't know any of these bandits hiding in the security team. But Ralph told me that if necessary, wearing a red cuff, tapping granite, jumping back and forth on one leg, spitting in the air, and several other movements are all code signs of connection.

I was surprised how such a nasty and disgusting code came up, and he said that the people who were planted here were not a group of people, nor were they members of a gang, but they were all his subordinates. In order to prevent the group from being wiped out in case of a problem, each group is planted, and their joint code is different.

As long as I do, they will automatically contact me. I am pleased with his painstaking creativity.

The day Ralph came to me, I asked him to organize a raid in the evening.

In the woods at night, the heat is suddenly mixed with a cool breeze blowing over the body. Standing on the watchtower outside the mine, I stared at the dark forest. It was almost midnight, and it would take a while for the sentries on duty to be replaced. The road leading to the mine is full of fences.

I looked back at the watchtower at the top of the mountain, and the torch would be the beginning of a nightmare tonight.

When I returned to the cave, I took a special look at the bow trap set up at the entrance of the cave. I've already told Ralph about the dangers of going into the hole, and if anyone is still unlucky enough to get shot, it's damn good.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but it feels like it's very cold and humid in the mine tonight. A large part of the security guards went to sleep. Only seven or eight men were left to wander outside, the clanging chisels of the depths of the mine were endless, and the fire in the smelting furnace was stirred up by the bellows, and the flames were whirring.

I watched it all in a daze, and it was the silence before dawn. I couldn't sleep in bed, not only because of the sounds I made while working, but also because the light outside illuminated my room that was supposed to be pitch black. I was very nervous, like I was afraid of being discovered by my parents before I wanted to do something bad.

It's just that if it is discovered, it will kill people.

I'm going to die in a hurry, and I've already gotten up and urinated twice, and I haven't seen them coming. Is something wrong? Just as I was about to pee for the third soa, there was a shout outside.

I looked at my watch, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning, almost four o'clock in the morning. This Ralph is so calm!

Picking up my sword and dagger, I put a red cuff in my pocket and quietly opened the door. This group of bandits must have slid down from the open hole above the mine and fell from the sky!

There is no movement at the entrance of the cave, and it is estimated that the outside has already been successful.

This point is the time for normal people to sleep soundly, and for people who work night shifts and keep vigil, this point is very difficult.

The sound of slashing from the cave woke everyone up, and soon the place was once again in chaos. Some of the guards who woke up from their dreams rushed out of the house naked without even lifting their pants.

The light from the torches did not brighten the cave, the sound of slashing and slashing came and went, and the light reflected by the sword was dim. But the dark splash of liquid was clearly visible, and the severed limbs came into view.

I also rushed in, at the moment I was actually a little confused about who was who, except that I didn't stab them with a dagger when I wasn't wearing clothes, and I really had to take a serious look at them while I was wearing clothes. Acting is acting after all, and I'm afraid of revealing my stuffing. This time the bandits rushed in and were disappointed when they rushed to the smelting furnace. There weren't many gold coins on the stove at all.

Knock down one, put down another. At this time, another group of bandits finally came in from the entrance of the cave, but just as this group of bandits came in, the horn sounded in the crowd.

The bandits fought and retreated, and quickly withdrew from the entrance of the cave.

"Kill them!" With a swing of my sword, I shouted and charged towards the retreating bandits. Although I charged, I saw that there were a few hesitations.

There were quite a few people who were fanned by me, but I quietly jogged a few steps, stumbled a few steps, and was quickly wrapped in the middle of the group. The crowd roared and rushed out, but as soon as the striker rushed out of the hole, a row of arrows shot in from outside the hole directly sent the fastest ones to the western sky.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I shrank my head and turned around and hid back. There were dozens of arrows coming in from outside the cave. The guys around me were looking at me, and I looked at them. "Watch your defense!" I shouted.

The salvo stopped, but we still didn't dare to rush out. It was a stalemate until dawn!
