Lord of War

It was still in the private room at the end of the corridor on the left, but this time the only people meeting were Alfred, Annuo, Sean and Eli Kate, and Sefanio and Rena did not appear here.

In fact, after Sean's contact with that old man last night, whether Sean is willing or not, he has officially entered the eyes of most residents of Lomingen. Even, behind the two groups of people who showed different attitudes towards the old man last night, they must have known about the existence of a number one person like Xiao En. The group of guys who just want to protect the old man's safety are okay, but the other group of people still let Alfred protect the old man after clearly expressing their hostility to the old man, so this is an offending approach.

Seeing Eli Kate's serious face at this moment, the atmosphere in the private room became a little gloomy.

Sean frowned, he had already realized what Ali Kate wanted to say.

"Did you have any conflicts with others last night?" Eli Kate asked straight to the point, "I mean, after contacting that Master Rhoda"

Master Rhoda was the old man that Sean was trying to get close to.

Sean turned his head to look at Alfred, Eli Kate saw Sean's move, and immediately understood what was going on, so he also turned his head to look at Alfred, but with Sean's casual The attitude is different, Eli Kate's attitude is obviously becoming a little more serious - at least in Eli Kate's cognition, Alfred is far more terrifying than Sean, and is currently on the list of nobles in the Kingdom of Dabion Among them, Alfred is still the most dangerous person, followed by William Yale, and as the direct superior of these two people, Sean Connery is in third place.

Under such influence, Eli Kate naturally had a slightly more respectful attitude when facing Alfred.

"No." Alfred shook his head bluntly, "After I sent the old man home, around ten o'clock, one of the old man's apprentices opened the door, and the other party knew my identity. When I was a family knight of a viscount, I was very warmly invited to take a rest and drink a cup of hot cocoa before leaving, but I refused.... When I returned to the tavern, it was not yet eleven o'clock. Noah was there."

"Yes." An Nuo nodded, "I just ate ghosts..."

"Wait, you eat from half past nine until eleven?" Sean interrupted An Nuo.

"yes.

"An Nuo took it for granted, "Didn't you say that if I'm not full, I can go downstairs and continue eating?" "

Sean glanced at An Nuo's belly, he wondered why it hadn't been burst yet?

"Cough cough." Seeing the expressions of Sean, Annuo, and Alfred, Eli Kate had to cough lightly to remind the three of them of the current environment, "If you haven't had any conflicts with anyone, then This is getting a little tricky.”

"What's going on?" Sean frowned.

"Several adventurers hired by Baron Yeros died on Pine Cone Street last night." Eli Kate said, "The death methods of these five people are similar, and after inspection, it has been confirmed that they were killed by someone similar to boxing skills and heavy weapons. type of weapon to kill."

When Sean heard the first sentence, he instinctively wanted to ask Cefanio, because besides Alfred, Cefanio was also with him last night, and the two complemented each other brightly and secretly. The purpose is to prevent the possibility of some situations that Alfred cannot handle. But after hearing the second half of Ali Kate's sentence,

Sean felt that there was no need to ask Xue Fanio, because if she made the shot, then the other party would most likely turn into an ice sculpture, or even a pile of crushed ice.

Moreover, the strength of those adventurers is only at the bronze level. Even if Xue Fanio really can make a move, it is impossible to bully such people. The two sides are not at the same level at all. Not to mention Cefanio, even Alfred and Annuo, if it is not necessary, they will not act like someone in the bronze realm, because this is simply a very cheap thing-of course, the most important thing is, Not any good.

"I thought there would only be two groups of people targeting that old man, but I didn't expect that there would be a third group lurking in the dark." Sean sneered, "Those who were killed by weapons such as heavy weapons, Do you have obvious sharp wounds on your body, as if you were killed by an ax, spear or other weapon."

"Yes." Eli Kate nodded.

But soon, he also reacted immediately: "I was framed!"

There is no doubt that there are definitely more than two groups of people eyeing the old man, and the group of people who shot last night must have left the tavern after Sean and An Nuo returned to the second floor, otherwise Sean would never have Discover. And judging from the details of the opponent's attack, it is obvious that the opponent has a certain degree of understanding of Sean and the others, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a clever arrangement. It is carrying the fangs of the flame lion.

Even if the flame lion's fangs didn't tear apart the white cloth strips, it can still be seen from the outline that this is definitely a long-handled heavy weapon, and there are not many weapons that can become a long-handled heavy weapon. If he concealed it a bit, then no matter what long-handled heavy weapon Alfred took out in the end, it would be able to match the marks of the wound. In addition, Alfred only said that he was confident in his boxing skills last night, and it was true that Alfred did not hold a weapon last night, so judging from this point, Sean It can be guessed that the other party must have a character similar to a thief. Only such a person can overhear Alfred's confident words last night, so those who are hostile to the old man will die from boxing skills .

"What is there on that old man that deserves so many people to stare at him at the same time?" Sean asked.

"I don't know about that either.

"Ericite shook his head, "But the only thing that is clear is that Master Rhoda obtained a mysterious blueprint. This blueprint has nothing to do with architecture and design, but it is said that if it can be successfully manufactured, it will definitely lead to uproar. "

"Who said that?" Sean asked.

"Uh, an appraiser from the branch of the Luomingen Mage Guild." Eli Kate is obviously quite well-informed about the gossip in this regard, "but this appraiser is a person who can't hide secrets. Originally, Luomingen The Mage Branch has already negotiated secretly with Master Luo Da, but when the matter was about to be settled, the appraiser was drunk and told the matter to a wealthy businessman in the salon area. I mentioned this matter to several other honorable nobles as a topic of discussion, and as a result, these people began to try to take that mysterious blueprint as their own..."

"Needless to say later, the negotiation between the Lomingen branch of the Mage Guild and the old man must have collapsed."

"Yes." Eli Kate nodded, "Even if Master Rhoda is a respectable person, he still has to think about his own position. After all, the people who want his mysterious blueprint are nobles. , maybe they can't compete with the members of the Mage Guild, but if there is a real quarrel, Master Luoda will be the one who is unlucky, so the master will not hand over these things if there is no guarantee from the Luo Mingen Mage Branch. of a drawing."

"So is there any conflict between this and the change of our plan?" Sean asked, "I don't plan to get involved in the competition for this blueprint, it's their business how they like to fight, all I want is Hayes It’s just the architectural blueprint of Ting Manor.”

"It's related." Eli Kate said with a serious face, "The key to the matter lies in Baron Yeros."

"What's wrong with this baron?" Sean was a little puzzled, "Isn't he just an honorary baron for life?"

"It's a hereditary system." Eli Kate corrected Sean's words, "The Yeros family is a small family, but the current patriarch of the Hastings family, the second wife of Domingo Hastings, is the Yeross family. The younger sister of the current patriarch... In a sense, the Yeros family can be regarded as the guard dogs of the Hastings family. Take charge, you know this is the unspoken rule in the aristocratic circle."

"A fig leaf." Sean sneered, "So, that mysterious blueprint was actually wanted by the Hastings family?...I said why they all wanted this blueprint, but there was a wave of People are full of strong hostility towards that old man. Under normal circumstances, they shouldn’t go around and get in touch with the old man, and then find a way to strike after gaining his favor. It turns out that there are big people behind him, so it’s no wonder they dare to be so unscrupulous.”

"It's not impossible for you to understand this way, anyway, it is indeed similar to this situation." Eli Kate nodded, "So the death of those adventurers is not a loss to the Yeros family, but it is Exposing you all completely may even cause you to be hostile to the Hastings family, so that other people who are interested in that blueprint can do it more conveniently."

"That's a good idea. It's not easy for someone to come up with such a move. After all, as a foreign honorary nobleman, I really don't have any foundation here in Lomingen. Offending Yeros is equivalent to offending Hastings at the same time." , as Hastings’ status as a tycoon, he will definitely take us for the sake of standing up. In this way, when the Hastings family focuses on us, the other party will definitely be able to easily obtain the blueprint. … I don't believe that since the other party can set up such a perfect planting trap, there will be no other fallbacks."

"So, our plans have to be revised."

"It does need some revisions and adjustments." Sean curled his lips in disdain, "Hmph, arrange a meeting with the Hastings family for me."

"What?" Eli Kate was stunned.

"Hmph, compared with Neil and William, this guy's methods are simply naive." Sean's face was more sarcasm. In fact, compared with Neil, he was able to plan to have churches from all over the continent gather in the Void City. Come on, even provoke the hostility of the church and the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, this is really not something ordinary people can do, so such obvious framing, even if the Hastings family can see it at a glance, they will pretend stupid.

But Sean would not act according to the other party's script. He decided to take the initiative and take the initiative back into his own hands.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity. (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @龙燕天] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
