The wet soil on the ground emitted the smell of unpleasant goat feces, but Oun lay on the ground and did not dare to move. On top of his head were clusters of weeds, which covered his figure. Suddenly, a group of cavalry rode away from Oun's side, galloping and shouting. Following the cavalry were some sergeants holding spears. They seemed to be looking for something, but when they were about to find the place where Oun was hiding, the cavalry in the woods seemed to have discovered something. They turned around to greet the sergeants. The sergeants gave up the search for the grass with their spears and turned to move closer to the cavalry.

"Let's take this opportunity to go quickly." Climbing next to Oun was the blood dagger Harvey, the beautiful leader of the villain guild in Mason Castle, was also covered in sludge and dirty. She held her famous dagger in her hand. After escaping from the sewage canal in Mason Town, Earl Lauzits's people were still unwilling to chase him along the way. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people around Harvey, and in the end, only Harvey himself and Oun were left.

"I, I won't leave." O'N sat on the ground gasping, complaining about his bad luck. For several days, he was hungry and thirsty, and he ate only the sour and astringent wild fruits picked up from the grass on the side of the road. He didn't know why Harvey offended the powerful Earl Lauzits, but implicated himself on the road of escape.

"Shut up and get up and follow me." Harvey's hair was covered with dry grass, her face was much haggard, and the leather armor on her body was damaged in many places, looking like a down-and-out mercenary, but her eyes were still full of murderous aura. The blood dagger Harvey thought countless times in her mind. The reason why Count Lauziz suddenly took a ruthless attack on the villain guild was still clueless. This made her feel more and more angry. Since she became famous, she had suffered such a great loss. Seeing her subordinates being killed by Count Lauziz's private soldiers one by one, she was at a loss, which made her vow to pay for the blood debt.

"No, let me go. I'm just a blacksmith with no resistance. These things have nothing to do with me. They just want to deal with the villains." Ouen was wearing a piece of clothing stolen from the farmhouse on the way to escape. The clothes were very incompatible, but they were better than wearing stinky clothes that stick to feces. Ouen at this time decided that Earl Lauziz was going to deal with Harvey and her villains, so he couldn't help but resent Harvey.

"Shut up, why do you think Count Lauziz drove us out? If you just deal with the villain guild, there is no need to kill everyone. Do you think there is no tax we paid in Mason Castle? Now it seems that no one who is involved in this matter will end up well." Unlike the simple blacksmith Oun, Harvey is a person who has lived in sin since childhood. The dirty activities of the nobles are not as unclear as she is, family vendettas, interest disputes, and even attacks on her relatives. The nobles hand over all the dirty work they don't want to do to the villain guild. Now, Count Lauziz's practice of killing the roots is only one explanation, that is, he does this without hiding a certain plan, that is, he is doing it without hiding the Duke of Mason and other people in Mason's court.

"Will I be killed?" Oun looked at Harvey in surprise. He simply thought that as long as he told Count Lauziz's people that he was just a kidnapped meat ticket, it was unfortunate that the passers-by involved had nothing to do with the whole thing. In this way, Count Lauziz's people would let him go.

"If you don't get up, you will die at my hands immediately." The beautiful Harvey narrowed her eyes. He weighed the long dagger in his hand and said to Oun in a fierce tone. The life of escape for several days was hungry and thirsty, and the dirty and smelly body made her patience at the limit. In fact, she knew that carrying Oun in such a burden made the way to escape more variables, but Harvey needed the protection and reward of Arod, the Earl of Mecklenburg, which forced her, who had nothing to do, to take a gamble. When she finished speaking to Oun in a threatening tone, the blacksmith had to get up and stumble behind Harvey for her life, and ran to a more remote place.

Count Lauziz wore a purple wide-brimmed hat, with several beautiful bird feathers inserted as always, with a large cloak on his body, white mink hair wrapped around his collar and the edges of his clothes, precious gold pendants hanging around his neck, and his chubby fingers as chubby as sausage were almost all wearing emeralds and ruby ​​rings. He stood by the window of the Mason Castle Tower and looked outward, and could see the busy crowd in Mason Castle. He liked the feeling of looking down at others, which brought him a sense of natural noble superiority. Behind Count Lauziz were several of his capable subordinates.

The room on the third floor of the tower is the guest room of the Duke of Mason to entertain the visiting vassals. It is decorated with exquisite wool tapestries from Florence. The tapestries are also depicted with the pattern of the knight killing the dragon. There are also groups of painted cabinets and furniture in the room. From this we can see that Duke Mason attaches great importance to his nephew and the vassal Earl Lauziz, who is also a vassal. Even in the war with the Duke of Saxony, the Duke of Rauziz's mistake disappointed the Duke, but soon the Earl Lauziz used his sweet words and money to win the Duke's trust again.

"Did Sir Eble notice our actions?" Earl Lauziz turned around and said to his advisers.

"You were appointed as the military chief by the Duke, so our actions were to maintain the necessary rectification of the policing of the town of Masonberg. This is a very appropriate reason within your purview and should not attract the attention of Sir Eble." A tall and thin adviser reported to Earl Lauziz, who was the chief in charge of espionage affairs in Earl Lauziz's court.

"Also, Sir Eble was recently appointed as the chief financial officer by Duke Mason. He was busy clearing the Duke's debts and had no room to pay attention to other movements." At this time, at this meeting composed of Earl Lauzits's court members, a gray-robed monk with birthmarks on his face stood.

"Very good, Dean Robert, if the secret passage you provide is feasible, then I will definitely help you take back the monastery after it is done." The fat meat on Earl Lauziz's face trembled a few months ago. Robert came to join Earl Lauziz a few months ago. At first, Earl Lauziz did not take the dean of his territory seriously, but Robert brought him an old document on the map of the underground drainage passage of Mason Castle. This document also printed with the Roman Empire era markings, and there was a schematic diagram of the early drainage passage system of Mason Castle. In the diagram, there was a passage leading to the inside of the castle, which attracted the attention of Earl Lauziz.

"I have to check around the castle every day and find that this drainage channel has never been changed since it was built. The entrance to the passage is the site of the villain guild's nest. The exit of the passage is in the courtyard in the castle, but now it is closed by a wall." In order to regain everything that belongs to him, Robert must do his best to help Count Lauziz. He walked around the castle with his own identity as a monk without being discovered. What he has made so much is nothing more than a verbal promise from Count Lauziz.

"It doesn't matter. As long as there is such a passage in our hands, we can send people to break the wall at any time." Earl Lauziz was not worried about this. As long as there is an authentic tunnel that can lead to the inside of the castle at any time, he could let his people lurk into the castle and control the entire Mason Castle when necessary.

"When will we do it?" Robert asked anxiously, but Earl Lauziz smiled, waved his hand and did not answer Robert's question. After all, Robert is not his most core member yet, and he doesn't need to know some things. Robert then felt a little abrupt and smiled awkwardly and took a step back.

"Okay, my closest friends, now you can retreat and do your own thing. Whether our honor is successful or not depends on you." Earl Lauzits clapped his hands and asked Robert and others to retreat. When Robert and others left the house, the door of the ear chamber opened, and Grover, the boss of the three wild boar brothers, walked out.

"Sir." Grover bowed respectfully to Earl Lauziz. His originally not tall figure looked even smaller.

"Have the goods from the Italian city-state arrived?" At this time, Earl Lauziz's face was filled with a gloomy expression. His eyes narrowed into a gap, and a cold light seemed to seep out of the gap.

"Yes, the most noble Count, one-handedly bought what we need from which family." When Grover mentioned the family in the Italian city-state, his body trembled for a moment. Even a cruel and violent person like him would be afraid of that family.

"Well, the money must be paid, don't offend that family easily. We just made a deal." Earl Lauziz bent down and lowered his voice, saying in Grover's ear, whispering in the palace of Mason Castle.
