Chapter 12: The Seduction Project
The San Jose Passage to the South of the Mountains aptly divides the Als Mountains into two sections. The east side is called the East Ars Mountains, and the west side is called the West Als Mountains.
It was as if an entire Als mountain range had been cut in half with an axe. And it was cut down on the highest peak of the Als Mountains. Because the natural twin mountains are shaped like two tall towers. Therefore, this is also called the Twin Towers Mountain. The summit of the Twin Towers is covered with a large amount of white snow all year round. The water of the Serra River flows down from this large area of glacier.
The city of Tia is at the foot of the two twin towers that have been cut down. It occupies a huge area from the bottom of the two highest peaks to the mountainside.
Although the peaks in the west are slightly higher than those in the east, they have something in common. Halfway up the east and west peaks, there is a huge parallel plaza on each side.
All the way from the city to the two squares is a variety of buildings. The two squares have two of the tallest buildings on each other's peaks, the castle of Tia in the west and the Cathedral of the Holy See in the east.
At this moment, in the Tia Consulate in the west, Campbell, the governor of the city, is holding a goblet and sipping the fine wine produced in the Kaeya Empire.
"My lord, the church of the Church of Light across the street seems to have grown a lot taller. Beside Campbell stood a man in Jose's blue military uniform, looking through the window at the church in the distance.
"This Bishop of Wardan is so bored, he thinks that the church is taller than our castle, and he can snatch the management of Tia from me?" said Campbell with a smile.
"But my lord, the inhabitants of the city don't think much of it, and they care more about whoever is taller, who is stronger. The man replied.
"What a bunch of foolish people. Anthony, then you go and arrange the manpower. Renovate the spire on the top of our building, add a flagpole on it, make it taller, and make a flag of my noble insignia and hang it. Campbell instructed.
"Yes, sir!" replied Anthony.
At this time, a person from outside the door reported back: "Your Excellency Governor, the leader of the Boulder Mercenary Regiment who was reported for smuggling was indeed caught at the city gate. A total of twenty-six pounds of smuggled Mithril were seized at the scene. ”
"Oh, Johnson, is he really a smuggler?" Campbell said with a laugh.
"My lord, according to the investigation of his subordinates, it has been a long time since the Boulder Mercenary Group led by Johnson has received a task of more than 50 gold coins in the Mercenary Guild. Here in Tia, this kind of small mercenary group does some smuggling from time to time, which is also a normal phenomenon. Anthony checked the transcript in his hand and replied.
"I don't believe Johnson would do such a thing. But now that the evidence is conclusive, let's lock people up first. Campbell replied.
"Yes, sir. The man hurried down.
"Anthony, tell the people who reported him privately, and be careful with me! Anyway, this Johnson is my half-brother!" Campbell took a sip of the red wine in his hand.
"Yes, my lord, are we going to do what we told us yesterday?" asked Anthony, looking out the window at the church across the street.
"I won't pursue the fact that he burned so many civilians to death for no reason in the Inquisition, and he dares to come and ask me to be a murderer? Campbell said angrily.
"It's his people who do it too much. And go and tell them that in order to prevent the anger of the people, the people of the Inquisition in the city of Tia will immediately move back to his Van Gogh. Don't stay in the city!" Campbell continued.
"Yes, my lord, then my subordinate will go to do something. Anthony understood that Campbell was genuinely angry. But it's no wonder who knows what happened to that village. Anyone will have a belly of fire, what age is this. Although the Cult of the Illuminati is the state religion of the San Jose Empire. But it did not prohibit the people from worshipping other gods. Even if you follow other religions, you won't be burned at the stake at will. Recently, this Church of Light has really gone too far, and it's no wonder that the Governor is angry.
..................
In the city of Tia, the Gilded Rose Tavern. After a heated discussion, Wren and the others finally decided on a plan, as long as Redding and Jack could take them to infiltrate the Tiger mercenary group. They had a chance to steal the evidence that David had framed Johnson.
In particular, the mercenary group recently recorded the purchase of Thorsilver. According to Jack's knowledge, this kind of record is generally in the hands of Catherine, the deputy head of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment. This Catherine used to be the treasurer of the mercenary group, and she once pursued Johnson in every possible way but failed, and finally fell in love with David and colluded with him. Squeezed Johnson out of the mercenary group, and now he holds the financial power of the mercenary group and ranks as the deputy leader.
During the meeting, Wren called the dark god Garon countless times, but received no response. It seems that this eternal dream does not seem to be of much use to him, but the dark god can monitor him at any time. It's really better to rely on people than on yourself! But even God is so unreliable, and this is the reason why Wren is weak.
Since I didn't get any response, I had to come by myself.
"But how are we going to get close to that Catherine?" Wren asked in a low voice.
Jack and Reading looked at each other and smiled: "This Catherine, although she and David have been involved for a long time, but the two did not get married in the end. This Catherine was a woman who liked young and beautiful men very much, and it was just a whim for David at that time. Or just use him. Although we are no longer in the Tigers over the years, the rumors of the Tigers have not been less in our ears. ”
Wren couldn't accept such a hot news for a while, what a mess this was! It felt more chaotic than what he had seen in the headlines. At first, he never clicked on these gossip news.
"How old is this Catherine?" asked Tyran, too, with his curiosity.
"It's about the same as Captain Johnson. It's the age of a wolf. Jack the knife hand chuckled. Where does Tyran know that?
"Let me tell you so. If you want to blend in with the group. I'm afraid you need to sacrifice your hue for Wren. ”
Wren was speechless for a while, this was the first time for him to do this kind of thing!
Tyran looked at Wren's expression and thought for a moment.
"If that's him, can Catherine see it?" said Tyran.
"After all, it's better to be young. Jack continued with a grin.
"In my opinion, I'd better come. I must look a lot better than Wren with makeup. I'm sure I'll be able to captivate that Catherine even more!" said Tyran.
"Tyran, don't make trouble, can you do this kind of thing?" Wren worried, although he didn't have to go by himself, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but worry when he thought of Tyran, a weak woman, who wanted to go to Hukou Fan's danger.
"Don't worry, after all, I have developed hundreds of believers. Can you still be stumped by this?" said Tyran, looking at Wren.
The four of them agreed on a plan of action, so Jack and Reading immediately went to contact the members of the Tiger Mercenary Group. Let's just say that the four of them plan to join the Tiger Mercenary Group together. It was then up to Tylan to confuse Catherine and wait for an opportunity to steal the Tigers' account books.
Jack and Reading the Hammer were also well-known figures in the Tiger Mercenary Regiment back then, and I heard that the two were going to return to the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, which may greatly restore the lost reputation of the original Tiger Regiment. This made David so happy that he arranged a feast at the mercenary group station that night, and invited the four of them to participate together.
