Section 134 Assassin Apprentice
Dylan... Matt's inheritance document confused Count Lauzits, the great nobleman who could cruelly leave his ancestors' castle, was confused with a thin piece of parchment. Holding this document in his hand, he had half the inheritance rights of the principality without any risk. Count Lauzits believed that with his prestige and influence among the nobles, he would effortlessly obtain the rights he deserved.
"Sir, you must make the next decision, is it a coup at this time, or~~~." Monk Robert looked at the hesitant Earl Lauzits, and was so anxious. At this time, it was the time when Arod and the Wendell family were far away from Mason Castle, and the Regent Earl Emble was only fourteen Duke Guards, and the Castle Guard was weak. He only needed to control the city gates, let the Viking mercenaries rush into the main tower, control the members of the Herman family and important court officials, and force the Regent Emblem Emble to give up his inheritance, take the lead in carrying out the duke's inheritance ceremony, and force the nobles to recognize their authority.
"Is there any news about Lord Eberhard, Duke of Frankenia?" Earl Lauziz also knew that with his influence and authority alone, if you want to eliminate the possible bad influence after the military coup, you must be a real big shot as your backer. Eberhard, the younger brother of former King Conrad I of the East Frankenia, was Eberhard, Duke of Frankenia.
"This is not yet." Monk Robert also knew that if he wanted to launch a coup, there would be a possibility of failure if there was no foreign aid. However, Monk Robert did not agree with Earl Lauzits' plan, not to find foreign aid. Instead, the Duke of Frankenia was rumored to be a very ambitious nobleman. Some people said that he had been obsessed with the throne lost by his brother Conrad I. It was really unpredictable to introduce such a great nobleman into the Principality of Mason.
"Then let's pause the plan for a moment, let me think about it." Earl Lauziz was frowning. He looked at the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and then looked at his coup plan map. Should he take half of the principality safely, or risk a coup to take over the entire principality?
Dylan Matt walked out of Count Lauzits' room and immediately came to the Duke's stable. He carefully avoided others' eyes and ears and came to the stable. He saw a young horse boy washing a horse. When he saw Dylan Matt, the horse boy stopped his movements, wiped his hands on the apron, and walked towards Dylan Matt.
"Sir, do you need a horse?" The horse boy said to Dylan Matt.
"Yes. I need to go somewhere else. But my back is very painful recently. I can't ride a horse at all." Dylan Matt walked to the horse in embarrassment, stretched out his hand and patted the horse's body. His tone was filled with a low mood.
"You need an errand running." Ma Tong shrugged. He was ready to continue to do his own business. He didn't want to throw away his work and help a hunchbacked nobleman run errands.
"How about I give you a reward? Help me go to Lauziz County and hand it to Lord Palace." Dylan Matt took out a few silver coins from his wallet and handed them to the horse boy in the stable. These silver coins were attractive enough for a horse boy, but the horse boy was stunned and took the silver coins. The reason he agreed was not because of the silver coins. The horse boy's name was Sean, and he was an apprentice of the Assassin's Guild.
Sean rode his horse on a journey of bringing letters to Dylan's horse boy. When he arrived in Lauziz County, it was the noble alliance army of the Principal of Mason defeating the Duke of Bohemia and sieging the Bohemians in the castle. Sean drove his crotch through a cut wood. He was shocked by what he saw. Two trenches with almost the same width and narrowness were tied tightly outside the castle, and people were bustling on the platform in the trenches, as if they were in a market.
"Hey, do you want horse meat? Bohemian war horses are raised in the plains, and they all look like they are tendon meat." A meat vendor raised a horse's leg for Sean to watch. The bloody horse's leg was obviously on the injured war horse. Sean shook his head and continued to walk forward. There were many vendors gathered outside the trench, which was not like being in a battlefield. At a gate near the entrance to the trench, there were dozens of Mason soldiers guarding it.
"I am a messenger from Mason Castle. I want to meet the Prime Minister Gong Xiang." Sean was thinking about how to kill Arod along the way to complete his assassin apprenticeship graduation mission. He didn't have enough time to poison him. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fortress formed by the trenches and would be chopped into meat paste by the soldiers who flocked to him. It seemed that he was thinking too simply. Moreover, Sean didn't understand why he assassinated a noble like Arod, and the Assassin Guild would hand over such a first-level important task to himself.
"Oh, come with us." The guards of Mason looked at each other. One of them waved to Sean and led him into the trench. Every two hundred meters passed by, there would be a strange side van with several crossbowmen standing on it, holding crossbows in their hands and staring at them.
Arod held the letter in his hand. The letter was written in Latin, so Dylan Matt didn't have to be afraid that Sean would peek at the informant. The content above made Arod's brows frown tighter. He originally thought that leaving Harvey in Mason Castle could completely monitor Count Lauziz's movements, but when he was unable to defend himself, Count Lauziz was already planning and implementing a court coup. If it weren't for Dylan Matt carefully realized that he might still be in the dark.
"Is this what Lord Dylan Matt personally gave you?" Arod's eyes moved away from the letter, looked at the young man dressed in Ma Tong in front of him, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Yes, Lord Dylan Matt asked me to hand you the letter and told me that you can find a good job here." Sean looked at the assassination target in front of him, with a noble and young face but full of majesty. Yifu, who was standing beside Arod in the tent, was tall and mighty, and the bright plate armor on his body was impressive. Sean knew that today was definitely not a good opportunity to take action.
"Oh? Lord Dylan Matt said this." Arod looked at the young horse boy suspiciously, thinking that Shaun had some relationship with Dylan Matt, so he didn't say anything else. He asked Shaun to find an errand in his entourage. What he needs to face now is a more difficult problem.
