After dark, Jiang Yuan came to the arsenal and turned out a pair of light armor and black cloak, as well as a crossbow and thirty crossbow arrows, according to the standards of this world, his physical fitness is a little worse than the guard level, but with the peak of swordsmanship as a support, as long as he does not encounter the general level head-on, it is not a big problem.

"Uncle, you're going to find a puppet." Red Hitomi stood guard at the door of the arsenal.

"You know a little bit about the eighth room." Jiang Yuan said.

"My father asked me to try, and I failed, and in a few years, it might be the turn of the black pupil." There is no pity in Akatomi's words, she herself does not like to manipulate other people's weapons.

Jiang Yuan began to wear light armor, and equipment was one of the important factors in widening the gap between professional soldiers and the rabble.

"Uncle, if you die outside, won't you be able to eat meat?" Red Hitomi asked suddenly.

"If I can hear such unlucky words before leaving, it seems that I must not have beaten you in the past." Jiang Yuan put on his cloak and walked out of the arsenal.

Red Hitomi shook her head, "So please come back safely for the sake of meat." ”

"There is something better in the world than meat."

"Liar."

"The unknown doesn't have an impact on preconceived notions before it arrives, and you can only compare it when you've been exposed to it."

"I don't understand, but it's definitely rhetoric."

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that it was difficult to communicate, and threw off the little girl and went downstairs, the personal servant Corson had already prepared the horses, according to tradition, the personal servants of the nobles were rarely of the opposite sex, but this rule was not the same in the empire of this period.

"Lord Baron, be careful all the way."

"How long does it take to get from Berkshire to the seaside fiefdom?"

"It takes about seven days to ride a horse."

"Got it."

Jiang Yuan stepped on the horse, if something didn't happen after seven days, then this personal valet could be used.

After leaving the castle, Jiang Yuan reined in his horse and stopped to look around, the sniper point and the observation point overlapped to some extent, and he did not forget that there were rumors against him from the outside world.

……

On a hill to the west of the castle of Tius, the White Horse River flows not far ahead, and the nearby is a dense forest, and the cutting down of fixed trees can create an artificial sentry environment.

"It seems that someone has come out, riding a horse, and the castle lights are not lit outside, and it is impossible to determine the identity."

"Courier, or secret spy? Send a message and let the people inside look at the situation and test it. ”

Two men in black hunting suits whispered to each other.

The nobles need to invest a lot of resources in training the dark whistle, and they must select children with visual talent from an early age to cultivate, and they must ensure a special food supply during their growth, and in order to deal with emergencies, the dark whistle must have a certain amount of force, at least to protect itself.

Correspondingly, when it comes to carrying out tasks, they have no small power, after all, returning to request instructions from superiors is likely to let the opportunity slip away.

By the moonlight, one of the hunters took out a pen and paper and began to write, and the other began to check the letter finch, winter is coming, some sparrows can not find food in the wild, and it is not unusual to fly to the castle.

The evening breeze blew the fallen leaves, the rustling sound flickered far and near, the hand of the man in the hunting suit stopped abruptly after writing, and a strong sense of crisis rose, but in the next second, before he could react, the tip of the knife pierced his neck.

The deceased marched precisely to avoid the severing artery of the bone, drew the knife out, and the blood splattered, suffocating and cold wrapped the man, and then Jiang Yuan kicked him hard and sent the other party on the road in advance.

The other sentry wanted to retreat, but when he saw the enemy raise his crossbow and swing his dagger and start charging, this distance exposed his back, and then there was only one result: death.

The moonlight swayed, Jiang Yuan slashed horizontally with a knife, the blade seemed to flow with cold light, the dark sentry sideways to dodge, but the enemy's attack followed like a shadow, the blades kept intersecting, from a distance to see several balls of sparks blooming in the dark night, a few seconds later, the dead marched through the heart of the dark sentinel, if it was not for the strength of the puppet and the integrity of the corpse, the second knife was enough to cut the enemy's chest.

"Two guards?"

Jiang Yuan raised the long knife, the tip of the knife flashed with purple-black light, the two corpses stood up again, the puppet was made, and as the puppet's limbs moved freely, a slight cold-like feeling of fatigue emerged.

"Since it doesn't affect your physique, you can accept it."

The purple-black light shone again, and the two puppets disappeared, finally merging into the space inside the sword of the Eighth Room of the Dead March.

Jiang Yuan stuffed the letter written by the secret sentinel, then let go of the letter bird, turned around and left the hill to return to the castle, and of course the internal eyeliner was cleaned up if he could clean it before leaving.

……

In the middle of the night, bright lights were lit around the castle grounds, and more than 300 men and women, cooks, waiters, housekeepers, deputies, and guards on duty were waiting on the school grounds.

Two knights led an elite hundred-man team with crossbows to keep on guard, and Count Tius stood at the forefront with red and black pupils with a serious face.

Half an hour later, Knight Rodon led the people out of the castle and walked straight to the Count to report.

By the time everyone was gathered, the spy had already dealt with both the letter and the sparrow, but the receiving link was bound to cultivate a relationship with the sparrow, so that they could remember the place and object of the communication, and such tools and traces were difficult to clean up in a very short time, but they needed to dig deeper.

After receiving the Earl's instructions, Knight Rodon dragged out four people from the crowd, one of whom planned to resist, but unfortunately, the knight-level was wearing heavy armor, and his ability to fight alone rose sharply, and the dagger of the spy did not even leave obvious traces on the armor, and he was beaten to death by Knight Rodon with a punch when he turned his head.

"Lord Count, I just want to feed them! You can testify to the fact that you usually take broken grain from me. ”

Among the remaining three was a young and beautiful maid, who was crying loudly at the moment, and the other two began to find reasons when they saw this.

"It's a possibility, you decide." Tius asked, tilting his head.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, although he could use the puppet secret whistle to test, such as pretending to be a living person after summoning it, and saying something like 'you and your companions can only live one', you can basically confirm the authenticity, after all, the maid's desire to survive is not like being willing to give the head.

But there is a purple-black light to start the march of the dead, and the outside world also knows about this imperial tool, and he has to run far and come back, which is very abrupt and easy for smart people to guess the truth, and at that time, the attention of Baron Knoll will rise to a new level.

The problem is that he doesn't have a powerful puppet yet, he is in a more vulnerable stage, and most importantly, he doesn't want to run around like a fool.

The solution to this problem is anticipation, that is, ignoring the feeling of fatigue and returning directly with the dark sentry puppet, and insisting on the entire search.

It is expected that the Count will not ask him this question, and it is the basic operation of the nobles to treat traitors without letting them go.

After thinking for a while, staring at the maid's expression for a while, Jiang Yuan replied coldly: "If you don't believe it, kill it." ”

There is no accident with Count Tius, only the hidden spy is in danger, and it doesn't matter if he kills it or lets it go.
