Chapter 81: Ready to Fly
The main reason why Raul was on the way to the expedition was that the news of the mine's capture of the town of Chel had finally reached the provincial capital.
At a time when everyone else was singing and dancing, and the news of what the town of Chel was beaten down, felt ridiculous and not worth mentioning. Raul, however, did not take the matter lightly, as most nobles do.
Long after Brad's disappearance, Raul realized that there must be something wrong with the mine. In order to pass on these contradictions, he ignored this matter and let his stupid third brother, Huey, go to Qingling to become the owner of the mine.
He waited for these things to either be resolved naturally, or there would be a mess, and his father would be angry and let the second child go out.
However, he was puzzled by the fact that the mine had been quiet for several months, and he had gradually ignored this information. It's just that I didn't expect that at this time, Qingling actually came with the news that the town of Chel at the foot of the mountain was captured.
After the news came out, he ordered the team that sent grain to the provincial capital not to send grain to Qingling for the time being, for fear that there would be no return. However, he didn't go to deliver food for two months, and his third brother didn't complain at all, and the Qingling area was quiet and terrible.
Raul immediately realized that this matter was very problematic, so he used the spies in his hand to secretly investigate everything in Qingling without his father, but gave him an answer that shocked him enough.
Qingling, there is indeed a force entrenched there. It also received a lot of displaced people from Hussein Province and even neighboring provinces. More detailed information will not be detected.
All the news can only be found in the outskirts of Qingling and Chel Town. The spies sent to Qingling and Chel Town were like stones sinking into the sea, and they were no longer silent.
Raul was scared. He realized that things were getting out of his grasp. He even thought of the coolie rebellion that had caused a stir in several provinces when he was still a child.
He once thought that the trouble on Qingling's side was nothing more than a few wandering magicians, or some unknown bandits. But now, he realized, if it was a rebellion, the nature would have changed.
That Ta Raul no longer has the qualifications to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the fire from the other side. He prides himself on being clever, but he becomes a rebellious indulgent. He even felt terrible that if it was a premeditated, organized rebellion, he had allowed it to go without reporting it to his father. So what would the father think?
If a rebellion breaks out on Hussein's side, then what will His Majesty's side think? If His Majesty is angry with his father, how will he, the initiator, be treated?
This incident had already made him panic, and Luther, who was still under him, felt that it didn't matter too much.
Luther has always followed Raul and has won Raul's trust. Of course, the children of the Hussein family are either too cold-blooded or calculating. There is only one reason why Raul can still be so trusted by Raul as a steward, and that is that in addition to being a butler, he is also a junior magician.
Yes, the butler is just a cover for his identity, and the junior magician is his real identity. It's not the same as Huey's stupid pig. A guy like Huey can only rely on the name of the third prince to recruit some magicians who are not strong at most. But Raul, a powerful heir to an aristocratic family, is not so weak.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Raul loses the competition one day, he will not be the next patriarch of the Hussein family. But with Raul's identity and ability, no matter who takes over as the next patriarch, Raul will be a real power.
So, that's why Luther, a junior magician, willingly served him as a butler for many years.
And now, Luther finally stopped hiding his strength.
The grand cause in his heart, no matter what, needs Raul's banner to rush forward. So, no matter what method you use, you have to make sure that Raul doesn't have problems.
So, he strongly recommended Raul to send troops to nip things in the bud before the eyes of the head of the family really put on this matter.
Although Raul is not decisive in killing, he is the eldest son of the Hussein family after all. Soon, he agreed to Luther's idea, and reported to the patriarch of the Hussein family, Ke Mu, on the grounds that he was going to go on a training parade. Then, he gathered two thousand soldiers and horses from the provincial city guards, and took the magicians he had worked so hard to recruit, and the mighty team went out of the city gate.
After Raul led his men out of the city gate, Pete, who had been relegated to the provincial capital aristocratic coolies, finally had a twinkle in his eyes, and during a cleaning process, he put a note under a conspicuous red stone in the garbage dump.
In the evening, an emaciated old man, pushing a garbage truck full of garbage, arrived at the garbage dump. He sat down on top of the red stone, then pulled out his pipe and inferior foam from his chest, lit it, and took a beautiful puff. Then, when he looked around and saw that there was no one around, he reached under the stone and touched it.
Every day he repeats this action. But nothing appeared every day. If Hal had been here, he would have recognized that this was an old miner who had been separated from the crowd when Huey had entered the mines. When he saw this old man picking up garbage, he must have been surprised that he was still alive.
It's just that today is a little different, and the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a light. Then he quickly covered it up again, and confirmed that there were no other people around. After confirming that the surroundings were indeed safe, the old man quickly put the things he was holding in his hands into his arms.
At midnight, a pigeon, against the stars, flew to the mine.
In the tavern of Montelgi, two recruits of the provincial guards, are drinking beer.
Beer is made by fermenting hops and grains. This kind of wine needs to use grain, unlike fruit wine, which uses some rotten fruit. Therefore, in the entire province of Hussein, only the tavern in the provincial city of Montrej can control this kind of wine enough.
Of course, if you can afford it.
Two soldiers were toasting, and one of the soldiers put his leg on the bench where he was sitting, and then drunkenly scolded the soldier opposite: "He's really unlucky." It would be great if I could follow the eldest prince's troops and go out to experience this time. I heard that those who went out with the eldest prince were paid double their military salaries this time. What a pity, Jack, don't you say? ”
After saying this, the soldier poured in a large sip of beer, and then exhaled comfortably.
Jack looked around, fortunately no one cared about what the soldier on the other side said, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Do you think the eldest prince really went out to practice?" Tom. ”
Tom looked at Jack drunkenly, and when he looked at Jack's smiling eyes, his heart suddenly twitched.
For some reason, Jack, who used to be submissive, suddenly seemed to be a different person after experiencing the events in Cheltown, which made him unable to figure it out.
Jack took him and joined the provincial guards of Montelgi, and the two of them successfully re-became the guards under the rule of the kingdom. I also lived the best life I could as a person who didn't know magic.
But Tom will always remember the sword that Jack slashed to death in the midst of the chaos.
Also remember, those details of Jack's prison break.
It's just that Tom also has secrets in his heart, but he never dares to reveal them in front of Jack. He had a feeling in his mind that he didn't know if it was real or delusional, and he felt that Jack could see through him, but he didn't know why.
Tom shook his head, and in his uneasiness, he chose to drink to drown his sorrows. But the paralysis of alcohol always made his head more sluggish. He didn't understand what Jack was referring to.
Jack smiled and said, "I heard about it." The army of the Grand Duke went south. ”
Tom took a sip of his wine and muttered, "To the south... To the south..."
Suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he had eaten a dead rabbit. He was shocked: "Could it be? ”
Jack still smiled: "What does that have to do with us, we're long away from that land of right and wrong, aren't we?" ”
Tom nodded in shock when he heard this. He was glad that he had followed Jack back to the provincial capital. And I'm glad that I didn't have the "blessing" to receive double the military salary.
Jack's eyes flashed with imperceptible uneasiness in Tom's thoughtful moment. Then he lowered his hand slightly and put a note under the bench. Then, he pressed his fingernails on the side of the chair and lightly buttoned it, which was like making a mark.
A few days later, Han Xu, who was in the People's Salvation Army, received a notice, and then relayed it to Lin Qiang, and Lin Qiang relayed it to Hal the next day. Raul was halfway there.
For a few days, he did not know that the news of his dispatch had been exposed. When he passed through a town, he forcibly drew half of the guards from the town's security regiment to join his so-called "experienced" team, and promised to return them in full after his return.
The heads of the local security regiments in various towns are mostly magicians with little family background. For the eldest son of the ruling family in Hussein Province, he naturally dared not speak out. Even if they forcibly took away all the troops, they wouldn't dare to let a single fart go. Only promised to take half of it, and it was already considered that Raul gave them face.
Therefore, when there were still three days to go from the mine, Raul's guard force already had more than 5,000 people. And the magicians under him are even more talented.
It's not like Huey's patchwork magic troops. At the beginning, Huey, as the third son of the Hussein family, was really a little shabby. Not only do they have a hundred guards on hand, but the magicians are also high-level, intermediate, and junior combined, and they can be counted on both hands.
However, Raul is completely different from Huey. Although in this world, people with magical abilities are all nobles, and magicians and magicians are rare species regardless of the unit. But as the eldest son of the ruler of a province, he still has the strength to match his identity.
