Chapter Seventy-Seven: Amrock 6
"What's the matter with me?" a voice with a very impatient mood came from not far away.
Kang heard it in his ears, and it only felt a little familiar, but it was not Vickery's voice, and it was obvious that a second person had appeared here.
After carefully taking a few steps forward, Kang hid behind a few trees and weeds, quietly brushed aside a branch and leaf, and finally saw the scene in front of him.
Vickery stood in the open space in front of him with his back to his gaze, and there was only a young man opposite him, under the comparison of his face and voice, Kang immediately determined that this was the person who had a slight conflict with Vickery in the middle of the carriage today, although he didn't know the name of this person, but Kang Zhilu said that this was not only not a person in the organization, but should be a person who was hostile to the other party, and who was exactly who should be able to know Lu Dao as long as he took the time to check the organization base.
"It's time for you to change your temperament, Cordray. By the way, I heard that your brother is very much loved by the old Earl Lanyon now, and the position under your ass is not very stable. Vickery's smile was full of undisguised malice.
"Enough, if you're here to humiliate me today, then be prepared to bear the wrath of my Cordray Lanyon!" Cordray's low voice was filled with irrepressible anger.
"Humiliate you? I'm not that free. Kang saw Vickery shrug his shoulders with his back to him, but from his tone, he could tell that his face should be full of sneers at this time, "I called you to make a deal with you, it depends on whether you are interested or not." β
"Deal, the two of us, Vickery, did you hit your head in a carriage today? Cordreha laughed, as if he was about to throw the previous negativity back at Vickery.
"Don't you want to know where the man who killed your brother-in-law is?"
Vickerley just threw out a fluttering sentence, and Cordley suddenly looked like a cat with its tail stepped on, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and the cause was that his breath changed too quickly, in exchange for a series of uncontrollable coughs.
In Kang's eyes, he saw that the young man who was originally tall bent down suddenly, his face was distorted but he kept trembling and coughing, and his eyes wanted to be squeezed out by the force driven by the cough, as if he had poured a cup of chili powder into it.
Finally, when Cordray adjusted his breath, he looked up and saw Vickery's face with a hateful smile, and suddenly his heart was on fire again, and he habitually raised his eyebrows and wanted to attack, but when he thought of the previous question, he could only forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "What do you know?"
"You want me to know the way, and I know the way. β
"And what do you want?"
"Command, the command of this joint mission, your part of the people must act unconditionally according to my orders during the mission, and you don't pay attention to their lives anyway, do you?" Vikley threw out his own conditions.
Cordray didn't answer right away, and began to weigh the gains.
As for the murderer of his brother-in-law Hagrid, Cordray is determined to win, and it is not only a matter of hatred, but also a lot of issues related to the interests of the family.
Hagrid's death in the war not only caused the family to reimburse all the resources that the family had invested in him for so many years, but more importantly, because Hagrid's defeat also caused the hermit to transfer a large part of the benefits that the monastic needed to pay after the failure of the gambling contract to the Lanyon family, once the family really bears these costs under the pressure of other families, then the Lanyon family will instantly become one of the core families in the hermit and become a middle-level family, and may even fall back to the marginal family, and it is very likely that they will not be able to turn over for a long time.
Don't think that everyone is an organization, other families will help the Ranion family, not to mention that there are many families waiting for the top to stare at the seat under the butt of the Ranion family, and the essence of the noble family is the hungry wolf that devours everything, and the history of the Ranion family is also developed from constantly devouring other families, once the Ranion family is weakened, some families are ready to eat this meal.
There are two ways for the Lenyon family to do so, one is to kill the opponent who killed Hagrid, and the other is to defeat the Gantt Empire in this mission and take a lot of credit for it.
The advantage of the first option is to be able to show the strength of the family, respond to rumors of the weakness of the family with a tough attitude, and killing Gehr can also weaken a super good hand of the Iron Brotherhood, otherwise a good hand who can kill Hagrid in a head-on duel will not know how much loss the Hermit will bring to the Hermit Sect in the futureγ
But it's hard to do. Because it is already in the armistice stage with the Iron Brotherhood, the strength of the Hermit Church will never be dispatched for the affairs of the Ranion family, and can only rely on the Ranion family to do it themselves, and the Ranion family can also say that in the name of revenge, it can be said that it is in the past. But there is another problem that not only the Lanion family, but also the entire hermitage in San Rotaro, the center of the empire and the base camp of the Iron Brotherhood, are extremely weak, coupled with the serious attrition after the previous war, the few people in San Rotaro have been cleared up, and now it is impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of the Iron Brotherhood to launch a large-scale attack on Gehr in San Rotarlo, and even Gehr's whereabouts are difficult to control.
The second option is just a substitute option after killing Gehr, but it is also the family that spent a lot of resources to win for the Kodre, as long as they perform well in the mission and win benefits for the country, then relying on this credit can win a certain amount of bargaining chips in the negotiations between Prince Fayelino, who represents the Iron Brotherhood, and can also be regarded as relieving a certain amount of pressure on the family.
For Kodre, the second option is obviously safer than the first, the Lanyon family has invested a lot of elite in the men brought by Kodre, relying on this strength, he is very confident that he can get the most credit for this mission, but even if he performs well in this mission, most of it is also the credit of the family, and it has nothing to do with him. As Vickerley said, Kordre's position in the family is not secure, and even if the mission is completed, it won't add much to his points, but if he succeeds in killing Gehr......
Thinking that he has made a great contribution to the family with his own strength, which can be regarded as turning the tide, then no matter how much his father favors his younger brother, he can't shake his position.
Thinking of this, Cordray's heart was on fire.
"Okay, I agree, let me know. β
"I think it's tomorrow after you merge your men into my team and give me the command in public. I'll tell you the news again. β
In Cordley's eyes, Vickery's smile at this time was particularly hateful, but he also understood that he didn't want to get the news from Vickery's mouth in vain, but his mouth was still stubborn: "Then how can I believe that you know that Dao will tell me after the handover, and how can you prove that your news is accurate?"
"You shouldn't worry about this, I also hope you can run far away and don't ruin my business. But forget it, I'll give you a guarantee, now that the person is in the Neems Hotel, you have one night to confirm, but I advise you not to mess around, this is not your territory, and only this one night, your spies will not be allowed to stay in the city from tomorrow, otherwise don't blame me for not being ruthless. As for the destination and route, it depends on your sincerity. β
Nemes Hotel?!
Kang Huoran, who had been listening to it in a daze, was startled, when he parted from Gehr today, on the plaque of the hotel on that side, which was much more conspicuous than the surrounding buildings, that line of golden words almost blinded his eyes, it was the Naim Hotel!
The Lenyon family?
Sounds familiar.
By the way, wasn't the master who was killed by Gehr some time ago serving the Lenion family? At that time, he still used this as material to show off among his colleagues every day!
Combining the two terms with this conversation, the Nyms Hotel, where Gehr now lives, and the Lanyon family, who have a grudge against Gehr, come to a very bad result.
At this time, Cordray also finished thinking about it, took a deep look at Vickery, and threw down a sentence: "I hope you don't lie to me." β
Then he turned and walked in the direction he had come.
Just as Cordray had taken five or six steps, a middle-aged man in full armor spun out from behind a tree, and his somewhat aggressive eyes lingered on Vickery for a moment, and then followed Cordley without looking back.
"My lord, is that all it takes?"
After the figure of Cordley disappeared, Kang was still wondering why Vickery was not leaving, when a sudden voice came into his ears and startled him.
But Vickery didn't seem surprised at all, and replied very flatly: "There is no choice for him personally or for his family. β
Vickery turned to the shadow to the left and said in a stern tone, "Remember, I'm only helping you once, you don't have to come back to me again." β
Kang looked in the direction that Vikley was facing, and saw a somewhat incongruous black shadow in the shadows, which should be the person who was talking to Vikley now.
"That's enough, my lord, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for my dead brother Morad. In Kang's eyes, the shadow stepped out of the shadows and came to the moonlit area and bowed respectfully to Vickery.
At this time, Kang saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, it was a young man who looked a little tall and thin.
"Okay, I don't want to care about your brother's shit, you follow by yourself, remember to clean your hands and feet, and don't force me to do something unpleasant. Vickery waved his hand, showing his impatience.
"Well, I'll take advantage of this opportunity, anyway, I owe it to you...... Who!"
Kang suddenly felt a shiver spread throughout his body, and the black shadow in front of him had already looked in the direction where he was hiding, and with a wave of his hand, several points of cold light shot out, hitting Kang's location.
