Chapter 226: The Idea of Assassinating the King
After listening to Francesca's words, Wayne frowned, this idiot Hensett, is he full?
If you don't do any good things every day, you know that you are blocking people, and in an instant, the idea of wanting to kill this guy rose in Wayne's heart.
As a man with the power of money, can he still get used to a self-righteous bastard?
Do what you want, Wayne thought about it for more than ten seconds, then looked at Francesca and asked meaningfully:
"Ma'am, do you think that if the king of Koldwin suddenly dies of illness, it will be a good thing or a bad thing for the elves of Kodwin?"
"Will there be any unforeseen effects?"
Hearing Wayne say this lightly, the elven sorceress opened her mouth slightly at first, but as an elf, she has experienced thousands of years of life, and her own receptivity is already very strong, and at the same time, she has no good impression of the human king, so she quickly suppressed the surprise in her heart and began to consider the feasibility of this matter.
After dozens of seconds, Francesca and Wayne looked at each other and said in a serious tone:
"King Hencett of Codwin, though he is almost thirty years old this year and has had two wives, he still has no heirs and no heirs."
"If he dies unexpectedly and does not make a will."
"There is a high probability that the Kingdom of Koldwin will fall into chaos due to the succession to the throne, and even trigger a succession war between lords, and perhaps a chain reaction that will cause other surrounding countries to take action."
After talking about the possible benefits of this move, Francesca continued:
"However, the death of a king is much more serious than the death of an earl, and the Warlock Brotherhood will surely send the most powerful warlocks to investigate this incident."
"It is estimated that the members of the Supreme Council will also be dispatched, they are all warlocks of the same level as me, experienced and powerful."
"This matter is bound to cause turmoil, and they must give an account to all the kings of the north."
Wayne nodded, the consequences of which were similar to what he had expected.
However, he doesn't have any fear, with his current strength, he is not afraid of anyone one-on-one, and with a powerful bloodline like the blood of the ancients as a hole card, even if he is known as the most powerful mortal in the wizarding world, Wigo Fortez, he is sure to fight.
As long as the identity of the witcher is not revealed, it will cause any trouble for his good brothers, even if Dante becomes the most wanted man in the world, it will be a minor problem, and it can even increase his deterrent.
"Then let's make a plan with the goal of killing Hensyth before this public trial."
"It's boring to always be on the lookout for such a bastard, to throw Kodwin into chaos, and also to help with the evacuation and rescue of the inhuman race."
"However, I don't have any eyes and ears at Kodwin, and I don't have any information, so I have to leave it to you to gather information."
"When we're almost done gathering intelligence, let's make a battle plan."
Seeing that Wayne had set a goal of killing the king in just a few words, Francesca hesitated a little, she took a step closer to Wayne, a worried look flashed in her eyes, and persuaded softly:
"Wouldn't that be reckless, Wayne?"
"There are now dozens of times the number of humans than elves, and once they find out that the murderer of the king is an elf, our situation will become very difficult."
Wayne grinned when he heard this, stretched out his finger to provoke Francesca's beautiful face, looked confident, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Then don't let them find out, don't you."
"Anyway, it's Dante who kills people, and it has nothing to do with elves and witchers."
"The fewer people involved in this matter, the better, it must be someone who is completely trusted, you just tell me a time and place, and I will take care of the rest."
"Of course, this is just one of my proposals, if you have other plans, we can discuss them again."
Speaking of this, his indifferent tone changed, and he became a little admonishing again:
"However, ma'am, the reason why the Einsidi elves in the past were defeated by the attack of humans was because they lacked a determination and the courage to break the net, which gave humans enough time to develop between hesitation."
"If you could defeat them when they first landed, the world wouldn't be what it is now."
"If you hesitate, you will lose, and there are not many options left for us now."
Francesca didn't care about the young witcher's rudeness, she tilted her head slightly, considering what Wayne had said, but hesitated to say:
"This matter is very important, I have to discuss it with the sage of the elven clan."
"Don't act rashly for the time being, and after we have discussed it safely, we will discuss the feasibility of this matter."
Wayne withdrew his fingers, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said:
"Just think it through yourself, ma'am."
Then, remembering something, he said to Francesca:
"By the way, the group of mercenaries I hired have been working in Vigema for almost two months, and they have already achieved quite a few results."
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, you can have lunch with us at noon, and in the afternoon, you can take those refugees with you."
At noon that day, Wayne showed off his world's best cooking skills in his mansion, cooking more than a dozen delicacies to entertain his old and new friends.
Resso and others from the Pit Viper School, as well as the young girl Sianna, tasted Wayne's craftsmanship for the first time.
The delicacy that was enough to conquer anyone's appetite directly shocked a few of them, and then began to gobble up regardless of the image.
These people never imagined that Wayne, who seemed so strong and rich, and enjoyed life so much, would have such miraculous cooking skills.
And Belengar and Alex, who have grown into half-grown children, haven't eaten Wayne's food for a long time, and they all eat with relish.
Of all the people, it is estimated that only Francesca can still maintain the temperament of a lady, eating elegantly in small bites, showing her beauty and elegance all the time.
After lunch, Wayne took Francesca, who was also disguised as a human girl, to find the mercenary group stronghold of Julia, where he met the little cat.
Now, after receiving the support of Wayne's money ability, the members of Little Meimei's cat's cat's paw mercenary group have expanded to thirty people, which can be regarded as entering a period of vigorous development.
And their ability to work did not disappoint, in the past two months, not only in the slums of Vigema to recruit those poor and willing to go to other places to beg for a living, but also to paint a big pie for them to paint a bright future, and even pay a lot of money for settling.
At the same time, he began to cast a wide net, sending members of his mercenary group to several other large cities in Temeria, and also established some strongholds in other places to recruit non-human races, laying the foundation for future recruitment work.
Now, they have gathered almost 700 members of the non-human race in an abandoned village outside the city, including more than 400 elves.
This kind of result has already surprised Wayne, although these people can only add more than 400 points to his rescue mission, and they can't even redeem a master-level treasure chest.
But being able to recruit so many people in two months shows that this work has been on the right track, and the benefits will be greater and greater in the future, and the points in the later stage will be like a snowball, more and more.
After a brief pleasantries, Julia takes Wayne and Francesca to the outside of the city, where they meet the inhuman refugees who have been resettled outside the city.
As a high-achieving student who graduated from the military academy, Julia's management is well-organized, and the semi-military management makes the whole village appear very orderly, and the refugees are also in good spirits.
Wayne paid Julia what he was supposed to pay.
The huge sum of nearly 10,000 Oren instantly dazzled the eyes of the female mercenary captain who was only in her twenties this year, and at the same time let her heart that had been hanging her heart relax.
You know, even if Wayne gave her a considerable amount of start-up capital, recruiting and relocating these more than 700 non-human refugees and buying various supplies almost spent all the savings of their cat's claw mercenary group, and even saddled a lot of debts as a result.
If it weren't for Wayne's mansion in the city, and the monk couldn't run the temple, such a large amount of expenses, Julia would almost think that she was crazy, or that she had been deceived.
But now, with such a large amount of money, the cat's paw mercenary group will soon enter a faster development channel, and maybe it won't be long before it will jump from a small mercenary group to a large mercenary group.
And Wayne's move of taking out a large sum of gold without delay also made Francesca look sideways.
She was originally going to pay the money by herself first, after all, she would also pay Wayne the task according to the capitation later, but she didn't expect that her clan had more financial resources than she imagined.
After the delivery was completed, Wayne took the opportunity to deliver these results to the elven sorceress, earning more than four hundred and fifty points.
And Francesca's next actions also completely demonstrated the strength of her top sorceress.
With the help of the magic array, this elven sorceress arranged a large illusion formation outside the abandoned village to cover up, directly hiding the village, avoiding the eyes and ears of idle people and others.
This is a long-term formation, and no one else can enter this manor unless they have special magic items.
And here, too, can become one of the bases for the delivery of non-human refugees in the Kingdom of Temeria in the future.
After that, Francesca only spent one afternoon arranging a large portal in the village, directly connecting to a place in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and then with the help of some soldiers on the opposite side, all the more than 700 refugees were transported to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
By the end of the night, there was only one elven sorceress left in the entire manor, who looked a little tired.
This kind of sight made Julia, the little beautiful cat that Wayne deliberately stayed to watch, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
Although this female mercenary is not unpreceding a sorceress, being able to transport away nearly seven hundred spellcasters in one afternoon is no longer described as ordinary powerful, it is simply a great power.
Wayne, who was standing beside her, patted Julia on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Julia, we still have a long time to work together in the future, you are a smart person, and there are some rules you should understand."
"I won't interfere with the development of the cat's claw mercenary group, but I hope you can be as cautious as possible, and don't recruit some low-quality members, some guys who are easy to become traitors, into your mercenary group in order to grow quickly."
"Now that you have a lot of money and the backing of our extraordinary forces, you can pick and choose slowly, carefully select, and build an elite team, not a rabble."
"You still have a long way to go, and at present, in the entire mercenary group, I only trust you alone."
"As long as you do things for us well, you will get far more benefits in the future than you imagined."
After beating Julia, Wayne returned home with a tired Francisca.
However, the elven sorceress did not stay long, she took some cake snacks that Wayne gave him, and opened the portal overnight, returning to the Valley of Flowers.
Although I don't know what means she used to persuade so many refugees to go to live in Baihua Valley, as the manager of Baihua Valley, so many people came at once, and she had to go back and make arrangements in person.
And after dealing with these urgent matters, Wayne can finally relax and deal with his own affairs.
The most important of these is, of course, harvesting the treasure chest that he has stored for four months.
Since returning to Kylemohan for the winter last year, he has been waiting for the opportunity to open the treasure chest.
Of course, the main reason is that the previous few months were full of ordinary and expert-level treasure chests, and there was not much to look forward to.
However, after returning from Towson this time, he already has four more Master Chests in his system, the first two of which were obtained from Towcent's quest, and the last two were rewards for the quest to rebuild the Witcher Order.
Now everything is ready, just wait for the next lucky day.
