One hundred and forty-fourth game
Duke Eble closed the inner city of the castle. The civilians outside the castle knew nothing about this. On the surface, everything was calm. Who could have imagined that a storm that would change the political structure of power in the Mason Duke was about to hit. Baron Valk's ears were full of his son's screams. He burst into tears and regretted that he obeyed Count Lauziz's words, which led to the father and son falling to such a level. ()
"Have Sir Andrew admitted it yet?" Arod waited patiently in the room of Duke Eble. The ground in the room was covered with hay to prevent moisture, and a raging flame was lit in the fireplace. A palace guard reported to them the progress of torture of Sir Andrew, but it was not smooth. The proud Sir was a tough guy.
"Don't be anxious about Arod, no one can tell the truth under the jailer's torture." Duke Ebul looked good and comforted Arod.
"We must get the evidence of Earl Lauziz as soon as possible. Do you know that if it weren't for Dylan Matt, the news that Earl Lauziz brought soldiers and weapons into the castle to me. Now maybe he has successfully launched a court coup. This person is really too dangerous." Arod knew that Duke Eble was a standard child of a nobleman. Although he was approachable and kind, he could not help but have a high self-esteem. Now that the political enemy has not yet been cleared, the new Duke is full of clothes to wear more in the ceremony of inheriting the title.
"Coup? Don't worry, as long as Arod inherits the title of Duke, Earl Lauziz must be loyal to me. I have the right to mobilize his army, and I will order him to dismiss his soldiers." Duke Ebul said proudly, but Arod may have watched too many dynasty fights in the Celestial Empire and did not believe that there is a peaceful solution in political struggles. Since ancient times, who has not been able to take power to rank in blood. It seems that Duke Ebul is unreliable and can only strengthen his surveillance of Ebullaine Lauziz.
Just as Sir Andrew was under the various punishments of the prison guards, Earl Lauziz urgently summoned his advisers and several of his confidants. They squeezed into Earl Lauziz's room and looked sad. At this time, the inner city was closed and blocked. They completely lost contact with the outside. What was even more terrifying was that there were Arod's soldiers inside and outside the castle, and no matter where they walked, they felt the gaze being watched.
"My Monk Robert, what are your ideas now?" Earl Lauzits walked to Monk Robert a few steps and said loudly to him. The situation was already a little furious.
"Master Earl. Why did you hand over the poisonous sword to Baron Valk? This is simply putting evidence into Arod's hands. If things succeed, they can certainly get rid of the enemy, but I didn't expect Arod's reaction to be so fast." Monk Robert said with some depression. Earl Lauziz did not discuss with him when he handed the poisonous sword to Baron Valk. Now something happened, he blamed him, which made the monk a little bored.
"My friend, I also know that this matter is a bit reckless, but at that time I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Earl Lauziz said, slumped on the wooden chair with fists and knocking on his forehead.
"Sir, let us take a few armed servants, and now we will kill him and vent our anger for you." A knight of the inner palace under Earl Lauziz said to him with the sword at his waist.
"No, it's too risky. Not to mention the guards of the inner knights around Arod, you can't get through his brother Ifu's level. If you are caught, your identities will be enough to give Arod a reason to arrest the Earl." Monk Robert scolded dissatisfied. Earl Lauziz, who originally wanted to praise his loyal subordinates, also looked dark when he heard this. Isn't this helping him?
Everyone in the room was silent. Monk Robert frowned and held his hands tightly back together. His mind carefully analyzed various pros and cons, and planned the master Earl Lauziz, who provided him with shelter. Others, including Earl Lauziz, looked at him nervously, fearing that he would interrupt Monk Robert's thinking. After a long time, Monk Robert finally raised his head. When he saw the longing eyes in the room, including Earl Lauziz, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
"I remember that the one-eyed man beside Jeff once arranged for an assassin to assassin to assassin Arod, that's the case?" Monk Robert suddenly asked a question that was not at all. Earl Lauzits was a little surprised, but answered.
"Yes, do you mean to let the assassin kill Arud? This is impossible. If he could succeed, he would have succeeded long ago, and I would not have risked giving the poisonous sword to Baron Valk." Earl Lauziz shook his head and said to Monk Robert.
"No, I want the assassin to change the target of the assassination. He must kill Baron Valk and his son in the dungeon." Monk Robert stretched out his thumb with his right hand and slashed through his throat. He said with a fierce look in his eyes. Baron Valk and his son were the key to solving the problem at this time. Without their confessions, in order to stabilize and maintain the authority of the new duke, Arod did not dare to order the arrest of a vassal.
"A good idea, as long as Baron Valk and his son die, what can they do to me?" Earl Lauziz immediately jumped out of his seat with joy. He was not so stupid that he could not think of this joint, but he was in it and became panicked, and almost forgot the connection between these things.
"In addition, we have to complete two things. First of all, we must find out who leaked the news that you gave the poisonous sword to Baron Valk, that is, we must first find out the traitor among us." Monk Robert stretched out his two fingers on his right hand and said to Earl Lauzits.
"Are you saying there are traitors between us?" Earl Lauziz said in surprise, but soon came back to the scene. Arod's response to this incident was too quick, as if everything was ready, just waiting for him to step into a trap, but he was still kept in the dark without knowing it. He was foolishly waiting for others to reach out and grab his wrist. Thinking of this, his eyes became as cruel as a snake, and his eyes looked at the confidants in this room. In the town outside the castle, they seemed to be the only confidants who knew about the meeting and sword gifts with Baron Valk in the town. Could they be the ones who betrayed themselves?
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared on the horizon bit by bit. The guards in the castle alternated for dinner according to the rules of standing on shifts. At this time, if the person is interested, they will find that during this period, there will be a slight gap in the castle's defense, but this gap is not enough to make the enemy outside discover it, but it is enough for the person who is interested in hiding in the castle.
A figure appeared in the back corner of the side building of the main tower. The thick walls here were covered with green moss. The man dressed in a servant walked there and picked up a stone from the ground, drawing strange curves and symbols on it. After the drawing, the man turned his face and looked around. If anyone saw it, he would find that he had only one eye. When he confirmed that there was no one, he immediately walked away from here quickly.
"Hey, wash the harness quickly and prepare. The chain mail of Lord Gong Xiang should be placed in a wooden basin with sand and stirred with wooden sticks to clean it." Less than five minutes after the one-eyed man left here, several people dressed in entourages passed by here with harnesses and wooden basins. This is a road closer to Aruod's room, so servants often go to the laundry room from here to work. These entourages are actually not as old as fifteen or sixteen years old, but most of them are from low-ranking noble families, and of course there are also civilians born in them.
"Hey, Sean, do you want to be lazy again?" A nobleman with a watermelon head looked at the boy who was holding the heavy chain mail in dissatisfaction, holding a dazed look and shouted at him.
"Oh, I'll come now." Sean stopped because he was attracted by the symbols on the wall. As a member of the Assassin Guild, even an apprentice could recognize these strange symbols that were not noticed by outsiders. When he saw clearly the symbols on it, he felt very surprised. It was a task to change his assassination target.
"You lazy guy, I really don't know why the great Gong Xiang will take you in. Even if you buy a donkey, you are more diligent than you." The entourage born to the noble child scolded Shawn and sarcastically sarcastically from time to time. Shawn lowered his head and was silent, looking like he was obedient. In order to complete the task, he had to endure the whole sarcastic guy, but now he would not have to endure this hateful guy as long as he completes a new task. He had long wanted to break the throat of the noble child, or tear his mouth with a dagger. This idea appeared in his mind more than once.
