Section 218 Support (4)
Although the members of the Blood Griffin had a vague premonition in their hearts before Khorin spoke, they were still a little distracted when they heard this.
Solomon was the first to speak, and he didn't see any surprise on his face, but nodded: "Then I can understand it completely, but I don't think you need to worry about it bothering me at all, because you forget that I am a foreigner here, and even if I do something, I can pat my ass and leave, and then run to North Falmalik, or even hide in Phinean City, and return to my hometown." β
"I don't care about anyone else, but the boss's business is my business. Nafia glanced at the crowd.
"It's also my business, chief, what are you going to do, do you want to rob the prison, I'll go with you. Not to be outdone, Kou Qi shouted.
"Count me in. Hunk Bobby hummed.
"I think it's the whole Blood Griffon's business, and of course, if anyone wants to quit now, including Mr. Aglaven, you, after all, Khorin is right, this matter is a burden on you, and it is best if you don't get involved. Max said slowly.
None of the other members of the Blood Griffin withdrew, even Bericina, who didn't like to show up in front of people the least, volunteered to show her support for Khorin, she was a half-spirit, and she could only see a faint shadow in the daylight, and if it was slightly concealed or at night, it was almost invisible.
"Thank you. Kehorin said with emotion, he really didn't want to involve everyone, but after Noriega died in battle, the whole city fell into the hands of the Apuro Empire, and in order to achieve the rule as soon as possible, the empire put carrots and sticks together.
They must kill or control the descendants of Noriega. lest the latter grow up to be a destabilizing factor. He incited the city of Bofeng to rebel against the Empire's rule, but later claimed that Noriega's death was deeply admired by the Empire. Therefore, he is willing to buy people's hearts by setting up a statue for him in the city.
Such a method seems to be contradictory, but in fact it grasps the actual interests, without Noriega's descendants, even if someone wants to rebel against the imperial rule after Bofeng City, it is not so easy, because Noriega has enough prestige to leave a political legacy to future generations, and it is easier to gather people's hearts.
And at that time, if it weren't for Ma Shiwen using his own son to die instead of Kehorin, Keholin would really be dead.
Khorin will always remember when Marshwen was taken away with "himself". He was kicked to the ground by an Imperial soldier as the son of Marshwin, who told Kehorin to flee before being captured.
It was on that night that he escaped from an unrepaired part of the city wall and swam across the moat, and he lived under the name of KhΓΆrlin, the name of Marshwin's son.
After that, Khorin wandered until he grew up, and became a mixed mercenary world, because he still remembered some of the martial arts and cultivation methods left by his father, so he also became famous in the mercenary world, until he formed the Blood Griffin with others.
He always thought that Ma Shiwen was also dead. But I saw him today, and Ma Shiwen should have vaguely felt his strangeness. Somewhat suspicious of his identity, the preemptive prevention prevented him from directly clashing with the Imperial Knights.
However, Kehorin was sure to save Ma Shiwen, but he also considered that if there was a conflict, it would bring trouble to his partners and Solomon, so he had to endure it first.
"Mr. Khorin, I think I can help you, but my help may not be very direct, I think I can help you go through your plan to rob the prison, and have you thought about what to do if the robbery is successful? Solomon said rightly.
Khorin nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, no matter what, I have to rescue Uncle Marshwin, he got to where he is now because he saved me, and even his son died for me, I can't act like I don't know anything." I also knew that once the prison was robbed, it could be very troublesome, but I still had to do it, but I really couldn't, and after the prison robbery, we had to flee to Northern Falmalik, where the Apuro Empire had less influence, and at most sent court guards and mercenaries to hunt us down. β
"Then we are not afraid, as long as we are together. Lida, the female boxer, shook her fist.
"Then, we must first draw up a plan, including the time of the robbery and the way out, as for the final direction of the retreat, it can be divided into two stages, one is to escape from the city first, and if we are hunted down badly, we will flee to the final target, North Falmalik. Solomon gestured with his finger on the table.
"Someone is coming. Lily suddenly said, her rank is Shadow Blade Killer, so her sense of hearing is very sensitive.
Solomon stopped talking, he had noticed it before Lily, of course, but he didn't need to show his strength in this area now.
A moment later there was a knock on the door, and it was the landlord who entered.
He poked his head in and looked, and when he saw that everyone was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that you are still there, I'm afraid that you will also go to protest, don't go, if they provoke the Epro people this time, maybe they will arrest people on the spot and go to prison." β
It turned out that the landlord was worried that something would happen to them, and if they were arrested by the Empire, the landlord's money would have nowhere to go.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Max.
"That Governor of Ili is crazy, and in order to collect taxes, he threatens to tear down the statue of Noriega in the city if they do not pay this temporary tax increase!" the landlord brought shocking news.
It turned out that this time, because the royal family's expenses were in deficit again, and the Apuro Empire was facing the threat of aliens, the military expenditure would also increase, and the royal family's overspending was more difficult to solve than in previous years, so it had to fight the idea of Bofeng City again.
But to be honest, Bofeng City is really being exploited badly, and it really can't squeeze any more oil and water, and the current tax burden, Bofeng City barely supports it every year, and its development has been greatly affected.
Due to the heavy tax burden, merchants have been passing through or doing business here for more than a decade, and only those local merchants have to struggle to survive because of their property and family.
This time, the temporary tax increase was required to be borne by the whole city, and when Solomon and the others entered the city, they saw the knights of the Golden Ring going out to arrest people, that is, arresting those who resisted taxes.
But because of the real difficulty, even if they are caught in prison, it is difficult to force more people to take the money out.
If he could get taxes by killing people alone, Yili didn't mind killing more people, but he also knew that the people of Bofeng City were like sheep, and if they killed all the sheep, they would have to collect them later.
So he decided to threaten and test by knocking down and smashing the statue of Noriega standing in the city, and if nothing worked, then use tougher means.
Although Noriega is dead, his prestige in Bofeng City is still very high, and his statue also has a huge symbolic significance in the hearts of the people of Bofeng City.
After the landlord left, Kehorin said to Solomon: "I think this is our chance to rescue Uncle Marshwin, a large number of citizens are protesting, and the governor of Illy will definitely send troops to supervise and distract us, we are just in time to save people." β
Solomon nodded slightly, "But we also have to find out where Ma Shiwen is being held first." β
"Leave this to us. Several people in the Blood Griffin spoke out at the same time, among the group of partners under Kehorin, the most talented for reconnaissance is actually Bericina, she is a half-spirit creature, but her rank is a spirit messenger, good at dark and undead spells, usually as an invisible vigilance, really speaking of reconnaissance, can only be said to be a second-rate technology;
But in this environment, it is enough for them to scout where Ma Shiwen was imprisoned.
After the few of them left, Solomon and Kehorin continued to discuss the methods and details of the rescue, and since they did not know the specific place of detention, the two of them could only prepare a few more sets of plans for the possible situation, and act immediately as soon as there was news.
After a while, Tao, Nafiya and the others returned to their jobs, but the landlord came again, this time with a mysterious woman with him.
This woman can be seen to be a woman from her appearance, but her whole body is wrapped in a black robe, and her face is also covered with a black veil, which looks very strange.
"She, she said, came to Mr. Aglavin. The landlord pointed to Solomon a little dazedly.
He had met the woman who had just gone out to ask for directions, and then he answered all the questions as if he had been enchanted, and led the woman to Solomon and them.
Of course, he did not understand that this was not the charm of this woman, who was very beautiful if she opened the veil, but now for some special reason she had to keep it that way.
The reason why he did this was only because the woman had used illusion-based charm on him.
Solomon was not surprised to see the woman, as if he had known that she would come.
The woman walked up to Solomon, bowed her head respectfully, and said, "Dear Mr. Aglavin, I have finally found you. β
When Solomon saw her, he nodded, "Well, Sabelli, you have come just in time, this Mr. Klelyn is in need of some help, and the illusion magic you have mastered may be useful." β
This woman is the former Dark Elves' first mother Sabelli, this time she came to Cologondo, Solomon brought her with her, but it was divided into two ways, Sabelli was responsible for the other direction of the Binfu Kingdom, to see if there was a suitable object for "investment", and agreed to meet in this Bofeng City.
