Chapter 349: stalker barrett

Incarnated as a secret infiltration investigator, Barrett quietly moved forward in the shadows. He has become quite skilled at this sort of thing after many night dives.

With silent footsteps, agile jumps, and agile tumbling, Stalker Barrett is the unseen ghost in this city.

He climbed onto the roofs of the residents with a grappling hook, then hid in the dense oak tree canopy, and plucked off the dead branches on his head after jumping; , took the two copper plates in the apron when he left; he curled up in the grass and waited for the patrol to go away, then flew into the toilet next to him, and didn't forget to lift his pants when he came out; he caused a watchdog's attention Bark, then frighten it back into the nest with murderous intent, and then swear in a low voice to dry the **** that he accidentally stepped on the sole of his boot.

Barrett is like a dexterous cat, no, a tiger, looking for his prey in this jungle composed of stone and bricks.

And his tiger's hunting target is the unknown nobles in this city who have colluded with the devil.

It is worth mentioning that our secret infiltration investigator and an accomplice also came together. I don’t know if it is because the Vindicator is a little worried about Barrett’s investigation work, or because there is a surplus of manpower. Anyway, the guy and Barrett made an appointment to investigate separately, and then meet up to summarize.

The entire Holy Arathor Kingdom is located in the southeastern part of the mainland. Although the location of San Nino City is somewhat north of the kingdom, it is much warmer than the Muya city-state. Even if Barit does not use the 'endurance environment' on the leather armor Spell, I can't feel the coolness of the night.

According to what Barrett had known before, there were twelve noble families who were somewhat related to each other living in this city. The titles of these nobles ranged from earl to baron. If the information given by Vindicator Julian is correct, then the guy who colluded with the devil should be one of these nobles.

The forces of these twelve nobles are intertwined in the city of San Nino, and their identities are extraordinary. But none of them are the true rulers of this bustling city. Because of the special government established in advance by To'o I, the founding emperor of the Holy Arathor Kingdom, and the supreme authority left among the people, the imperial power in this country is more concentrated than other human kingdoms.

In Holy Arathor, very few nobles actually own their own territory, and most of the land belongs directly to the king. Even if some nobles have their own territories because of their outstanding ancestors, most of them are only at the village level. Therefore, those in power in big cities are basically the chiefs of city halls directly appointed by the king. Nobles are at most. It's just an important job in it.

Although the nobles have many privileges, no territory means no taxation. Although the king provides each noble with a lot of salary every year according to the level of the title, for those noble families with ancient history and many servants, the king The salary is nothing but a drop in the bucket. Therefore, almost every noble family with some history has its own unique way of making money.

Whether these ways of making money will be completely legal, obviously does not require too much speculation, so the residents here have doubts about the daily behavior of the nobles, which is normal in Barrett's view.

At this time, our barbarian infiltrator was preparing to go to the house of Countess Teresa, one of the twelve nobles in the city, to investigate whether the countess had any suspicious behavior in collusion with the devil.

The reason why Barrett chose to investigate the widowed countess first, of course, did not include some nasty thoughts, because the countess was nearly eighty years old, and it was not Barrett who liked it. type.

One of the reasons why he chose Countess Teresa was because the Countess's mansion was the closest to the pub where he applied for the job, and the second reason was the strange rumors that the Countess said in people's mouths.

Every nobleman in this city has suspicious rumors, Baron Richard likes to listen to opera and is very generous, but his ancestral property is not rich, and in the eyes of people, there is only a small shop selling it; Viscount Weiss is a small branch of another family, which only intermarry with internal relatives, and everyone has a small slender tail; Ser Duncan, because the title is too low and not hereditary, has never been ruled by other nobles. Accepted, but every descendant of this family can successfully obtain the title of knight through various channels...

And the Earl of Guise, who suddenly succeeded in inheriting the title, obviously sounded more suspicious, but in Barrett's view, Earl of Guise's actions were nothing more than an ordinary murder because of power.

Such murders are by no means uncommon among nobles, but it is not within the scope of Barrett's investigation, and he has no interest in the intrigues that are common in those families.

As for the Viscount Palm with the smell of corruption of the dead, you can investigate it carefully. If that guy really turned himself into an undead creature~www.wuxiaspot.com~Barritt doesn't mind chatting with him. .

Regarding Countess Teresa, although she is already an old woman in her late 80s, she looks like a young stunner only in her twenties or thirties. Although the Countess claimed to have paid a lot of money to buy some kind of potion made by a mage that can maintain her youthful appearance, old Todd swears that when she was forty or fifty years old, she looked very ordinary, absolutely nothing like So young now.

According to Barrett's understanding, the magician's medicine may be able to delay aging, but it is impossible to restore youth, so he decided to inquire about this beautiful countess first.

Countess Teresa's mansion has a high courtyard wall, and the guards are more formal. At least the two guards at the gate with long swords in their hands and wearing chain mail are very similar, and they seem to be more expensive than most city gates. Tax guards are more reliable.

But no matter how good the skills and seriousness of the two guards are, since ancient times, few sneakers have directly entered from the main entrance, so it is hard to say how big their real role is.

Although some steel spikes were inserted into the courtyard wall, it did not stop Barrett from climbing. Using the magic rope, he cautiously climbed up the courtyard wall, and looked inside.

There are several buildings with unique shapes in the courtyard wall, as well as a shadowy garden. There are two guards holding luminous stones, patrolling back and forth around the largest mansion in the center, occasionally scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Barrett did not jump in recklessly. He first found a section of the courtyard wall where several osmanthus trees were planted, and then quietly jumped in using the shade of the green osmanthus trees.

He lowered his body and climbed towards the mansion in the center.
