Enforcer's Handbook

Although it was early spring, Song Lan still felt a chill from wandering outside in her pajamas.

The head chef's worries turned out to be true.

The internal struggle within the Iris Consortium has reached an irreconcilable point, and has even reached the point of assassinating each other in private.

Before letting himself out, the Scarlet Lord sternly warned him that if he could not complete this task, he would never leave the castle alive.

But he, Song Lan, was no fool. He knew very well that the other party had no intention of leaving him a way to survive in the first place.

Not to mention how he would pass the various checks and deliver the drugged meal to Mrs. Kalida and the eldest lady. Even if he did so and the two died of poison, they would immediately assassinate Mrs. He put the blame of the eldest lady on himself.

In any case, it seems that he will not die well.

So in desperation, Song Lan could only use his skills other than being a chef. As an unknown neutral philosopher said, a cook who doesn't want to be an animal tamer is not a good agent. As a chef, he knows a little bit more Animal training skills are also reasonable.

As they stepped outside, a commotion broke out in the Scarlet Knights' barracks.

After a brief exclamation, there were sounds of guns, sharp objects being cut, and walls collapsing.

He smelled blood, which grew stronger as the riot progressed.

Moments later, a first aid team overtook them.

Song Lan saw the man they escorted to first aid. He clenched his teeth and clutched his now empty right arm. The silver knight's armor inlaid with red lines was dyed red.

Now he finally lived up to his name and became the "Scarlet" Lord in the true sense.

The attack on the Scarlet Lord quickly spread in the castle, but the reason for the attack was puzzling. It is said that he was fed by the two-headed dog when he was attacked by the vicious dog that suddenly went crazy. He bit off his arm in one bite.

Then the vicious dog went crazy and attacked everyone around it.

After a fierce battle, the members of the Scarlet Knights finally killed him, and the hill-like corpse was now sitting among the ruins of the interrogation room.

A few minutes later, a woman wearing light armor walked into the dilapidated interrogation room.

The members of the Scarlet Knights wanted to stop her, but were froze in place under her cold eyes.

According to the regulations of the consortium, different knights are prohibited from interfering in each other's internal affairs, except for one person, because the mark symbolizing the six-star rescuer on the light armor indicates her identity.

Within the consortium, she has equal status with family members.

The woman carefully examined the wounds of the vicious dog and the damaged cage. This was the second attack in one day. Although this incident looked like an accident, she did not believe that the lord of a knighthood would His arm was easily bitten off by his own hound.

"Has anyone else been here before he was attacked?"

the woman asked.

"No."

The members of the Scarlet Knights were surprisingly consistent. They all insisted that the lord came to the interrogation room to feed the hounds he raised as usual.

But it was different than what she had heard.

Someone pointed out that before the Scarlet Lord was seriously injured in the attack, he once took people to the attic where the kitchen was located and took away a person from there.

Originally, according to her level, she didn't need to know these little things, but successive attacks had threatened the security inside the castle. Now the head maid and the lord of a knight order were seriously injured.

She did not continue to ask further, leaving the Scarlet Knights' station and heading straight to the kitchen.

What the Maid and the Scarlet Lord have in common is that they both went there before they were injured.

…

At the same time, Ye Lu sprang out from the corner of the room and was telling Song Lan her rescue plan.

She hid as soon as the Scarlet Lord led someone to the door. After the group left, she learned the identity of the other party from the artificial intelligence, as well as the route to the Scarlet Knights' residence.

"I heard that the Scarlet Lord is a drunkard. He stays with the Capello family every afternoon and gets drunk. I have already planned. I will poison their wine and then take advantage of it. No one noticed and swallowed them all!"

"There's a flaw in your plan."

Although it was gratifying to him that Night Heron could use her little brain to think of a plan instead of rushing directly into the Knights' headquarters and biting people in person, he had to point out the loopholes in this plan.

"First, you poison their wine."

"Um."

"Then everyone who drinks the wine will die from the poison."

"right!"

"In the end, you have to swallow everyone in your stomach while no one notices."

"Yes, that's it!"

"Then wouldn't you be poisoned yourself?"

"……Huh?"

Night Heron's eyes widened, as if he had encountered a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Regarding Ye Lu, Song Lan has always been focused on details such as how to ensure that so many people disappear at once without being discovered by the consortium, or how to avoid everyone poisoning the wine, and where to get the poison. problem, he stopped making things difficult for the other party.

After all, being able to come up with a "conspiracy" is already a big step forward for Ye Lu.

"Wait a minute, someone is coming."

Song Lan suddenly made a silent gesture to Yelu, and he sensed that someone was approaching in a hurry.

Only one person came.

He looked down from the window on the second floor. Not long after, he saw a woman wearing light armor. Almost at the same time as he looked at the other party, the other party seemed to sense his gaze and looked up towards the attic. Second floor window.

"Be careful, this person is not simple."

Song Lan immediately reminded Ye Lu, especially warning her not to talk nonsense for a while.

"How did you know?"

"This is a rule of thumb, Ye Heron. Take a closer look at her armor. Is it completely different from the knights we have encountered before?"

The bird standing on the windowsill nodded.

"Just remember, in places like this where the clothing is highly uniform, those who wear something obviously different from others are usually ruthless characters."

While he was talking, the woman had already entered the attic and headed straight to his room.

The woman was obviously stunned when she noticed the night heron on the window sill, but quickly focused on Song Lan again, "Are you the chef that Madam hired from outside?"

"Yes."

"Before Al... no, a man with a scar on his face took you back to their station."

The question plunged the room into a long silence.

Song Lan frowned, as if after a long ideological struggle, she shook her head.

"He asked you not to tell anyone about it."

The woman saw through Song Lan's thoughts and said with a confident tone.

Song Lan shook his head again.

"Did you see this?"

The woman pointed at her chest, but Song Lan not only didn't look at her, but also looked away to avoid suspicion.

"I'm referring to the emblem above. I am the chief knight of the Iris Consortium. You can trust me. If he threatens you, I will seek justice for you."

"So...you are his leader?"

Song Lan's expression finally became a little shaken.

The woman frowned slightly, but finally compromised, "You can think so."

"That……"

Hearing this, Song Lan seemed to have gone through a great psychological struggle before accepting her fate and saying, "He threatened to kill me if I told others about this."

"You can rest assured that as long as you tell me the truth, no one in this castle can threaten your life."

"Is this true?"

"Um."

"Leader, I want to report it!"

The promise of a six-star rescuer gave Song Lan great courage. He took out the medicine he brought back from the interrogation table and said, "I, Rob Lucci, reported the Scarlet Lord with my real name. He threatened me to let him go." I grind these pills into powder and put them into Madam and Missy’s meals!”

Thanks to the second lady from the North for the 1,000 starting coins!
