Chapter 66
2014-08-16
About ten miles in the south-east direction of Auston Castle, there is another huge monster erected here. If you look from above the East City District, you will find this is the heart of the East City District's aristocratic residences.Its walls are not as high as Oston Castle, its main building complex doesn't look gorgeous, and even the yellow Golden Lion head family emblem in front of it is a bit old-fashioned.
But when you look directly at this noble castle, the first reaction in your mind is often words such as "context", "heavy", "history" and so on. This is the castle of the Robert family, one of the four counts of Black Rock City.
At this time, behind the castle, a group of black armored guards surrounded a grey clothes person and entered the back door.
After entering the castle, the grey clothes person waved and said something, and the group of black armored guards bowed and saluted, then retreated.
Then the grey clothes person hurriedly walked into the castle. His identity seemed to be quite high. The steward and guards he met along the way were all bowing to him.
After a while, he arrived at a three-story stone building in the castle, entered the door, went straight to the second floor, and finally stopped in front of a red cedar wood door.
"dong, dong, dong!"
"Come in!"
grey clothes person opened the door, the interior decoration is quite simple, facing the Towards the door is a large desk, which occupies 1/4/2022 of the entire room. The table is full of various official documents and materials. Although there are many things, the owner may like to be neat and tidy, so the arrangement is very orderly. Sitting behind the desk was a man looking down at the document, with dazzling blond hair.
After the grey clothes person came in, he didn't say anything immediately, but closed the door and stood respectfully beside the table.
The whole room suddenly became quiet again, during which only the sound of blonde man was constantly flipping through the paper, and occasionally he would pick up a quill and write something rustling.
After about ten minutes, the blonde man finally closed the file and lifts the head.
His sharp-edged face seemed to show his decisive character. Although his griffin-like eyes were slightly bloodshot, he was still sharp. This man was the second son of the Robert family, Bevin.
"I've said it many times, Grey, just sit down when you come in."
"Okay, Master Bevin Young, I'll pay attention next time." grey clothes person, No, Gray said, bowing. As he has said before.
"Okay, I hope you really listened to this time." Bevin smiled and shook the head: then calmly said, "How about that thing?"
Gray showed a touch of excitement, took out three pages of paper and put them on the table: "Master Bevin Young, it worked."
If Tang En was here, he would recognize these three papers It was the fragment of the ledger he had brought from Auston Castle.
Bevin nodded, picked up the paper, flipped through it quickly, and laughed dumbly: "This Auston family really dares to do anything."
"Yeah. ." Gray said with emotion: "If these three pieces of paper flow to the court table of the Imperial Court, then the Auston family will have to become pirates again."
"I won't let it go. This kind of thing happens, because then we get nothing." Bevin put down the paper and said with a smile, "So, the Allston count should thank us, well, in return for sending his four docks Give it to me, it's not too much to think about."
"Yes, Auston count should thank you for your kindness."
"Haha." Bevin finally revealed at this time With an excited expression, he immediately opened the mouth and said, "Let the wind out tomorrow, and say that the Auston family is smuggling the enemy country. Two days later, we will contact the Auston count again and hand over the dock by the way."
"Yes" Gray bowed.
"By the way, how's the construction of the new wharf going?" Bevin tapped his forehead and said.
"It's not going well. The new wharf will take up five streets, and now only one has been cleared."
"What's going on?" Bevin frowned, "The official document is not two weeks old. Has it been sent out before?"
Grey spread his hands and said: "The Government Affairs Office responded that they have been doing it."
"These wine skin and rice bags, if I'm the City Lord, I'll have to withdraw them." Bevan's eyes became sharp in an instant, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Transfer some people from the Golden Lion gang to clean up the other four streets."
"Okay. , but the demolition cost..." Gray said hesitantly, "We don't have much money to use, and the elders of the clan have some opinions on our recent golden flower fund."
Bevin pressed the button Temple: "These old stubborn...well, let the five Delke families temporarily contribute some funds, and go to the Finance Office to declare when the cleaning is finished. During this time, they also ate a lot of meat, it's time to make some efforts!"
"Okay!"
…………
Okay, let's turn our attention back to the main character, Tang En.
After the split was over, Tang En and Jack chatted for a while, and prepared to leave.
Jack left an address before leaving, because he knew that Tang En was Assassin, so Jack was very sensible and didn't ask for the address of Tang En, but just said that you should bring him with you when you have a big deal next time, Tang En is natural Full of promise.
Let the carriage tick slowly towards Southwest, Tang En fell into deep thought.
The quest to steal the smuggling ledger of the Auston count has been completed, Tang En has received many benefits, but there is still no clue to the mysterious sender.
Tang En doesn't like this kind of feeling very much. It's like walking in a night where you can't see your fingers. You never know when a big hole will appear in front of you, waiting for you to fall into it.
"Shit, don't let me know who you are, or..."
Huh? Just as Tang En gnashing teeth spoke ruthlessly, a sudden chill of shivered spirit swept through his heart.
At this time, the carriage was passing a narrow bluestone street. The sound of horses' hooves fell on it, and it came out far away...
Tang En leaned forward slightly, his legs were tense, and his eyes kept scanning all around. The feeling just now... I can't be wrong, I am definitely being watched.
The carriage continued on, past low houses.
Suddenly, the chill dropped again, this time with a much stronger intensity. Tang En's body is like falling in a ice hole, it's cold inside and out.
The wrist moved, and Tang En resisted the subconscious reaction of popping the dagger.
The chill came for a while, and it seemed like it was about to break Tang En's line of defense.
The horses also seemed to feel the strangeness, and stopped moving forward, their hooves digging uncomfortably on the ground.
Tang En suddenly turned his head and looked towards the right. There was a low tiled house over there, and when Tang En first started to look, it was empty. But now above the roof, a silhouette appeared like a ghost.
It was dark, but Tang En recognized who this man was.
Because his outfit is too conspicuous, bright-colored clothes, mask, long hair... It's the Ghost Face that Tang En wanted to investigate recently.
