Chapter 109: No Windfall or Wealth
The aristocratic district of Stormwind City, which is the area with the best urban planning, the most exquisite architecture, the most complete facilities, and the largest area in the entire royal city. It is no exaggeration to say that the land price in the aristocratic district is very expensive, after all, it is the center of the kingdom and the only place where you can enter the royal palace.
The news of the riot of the prisoners of Stormwind Prison had spread throughout the city at this time, and the city guards were also fighting fiercely with the rioting prisoners, and Stormwind City was in a uproar because of this incident, but the noble district was very quiet, as if the prison prisoners riot was just a legend.
Seeing that there was not even a trace of chaos in the aristocratic quarter, Leo, who had infiltrated here, became depressed. Is it because the nobles have been in comfort for too long that they are slow to react, or are these guys all very strong in their hearts, and they are as calm as boiled water about the prisoners' riots.
You nobles say you have nothing to do, why are you calm? It's so troublesome that my brother can't do some small movements. Someone muttered secretly, but forgot the fact that he usually had nothing to do and the word "calm" was on his lips.
Although the situation is a little different from what I thought, I still have to do things. After releasing the crow to scout, Leo quietly infiltrated a mansion, which was owned by none other than Count Gregg.
With no valuable clues found in the prison in Stormwind, Leo decides to go to Grig's mansion and look around. Scarlett's mind is too orthodox, and in the female knight's mind, as long as there is no solid evidence, the nobleman's mansion cannot be searched, because it is very rude. But Leo ignored this, and in his opinion, it was much more useful to find evidence of Gregor's deal with the Defia thieves than to go to the person's house and search around the house than to stay in prison.
Greg's mansion has many servants and bodyguards, but how could these people find Leo? The training plan developed by Pasonia was not something that ordinary people could find, and it didn't take much time for him to enter Greg's room.
Don't ask Leo how he knows this is Grig's room, it's weird if the main house of a mansion isn't the owner's room.
Sneaking into Greg's room, Leo's eyes couldn't help but light up, the layout of this room was so luxurious, the whole was so brilliant that even the corners of the walls were plated with a layer of gold.
Leo, envy, jealousy, and hatred, an upstart, you Greg or an earl, why are you so tasteless? The whole room is golden and dazzling, and it looks very rich, but it gives people the feeling of being a nouveau riche, a nouveau riche who suddenly became rich without any background.
After a careful search, Leo wondered if he hadn't found anything useful. There is nothing in this room except for some of the owner's usual objects and ornamental luxuries.
"Gregor's curly hair seems to have put important things elsewhere, which is going to be difficult."
It is impossible to search the huge Earl's Court in less than ten days with Leo's alone, this is still a rough search, and if you search carefully for a month or two, it will not be completed at all.
Leo was in a quandary, and a message from the poisonous vine that traveled underneath the Earl's Court brought a smile to his face. It turns out that Poison Flower Vine has inadvertently burrowed into a basement where there are a lot of "interesting" things.
It's really another village, but I didn't expect the poisonous flower vine to make a contribution at this time.
Using the Poison Flower Vine, which can travel underground, Leo directs it to carefully carry the items in the basement. Gregor's collection of art, priceless jewelry, and the finest magical materials that are hard to find outside...... It was transported out one by one by the poisonous flower vine, and was received by Leo in his private space.
As the real power count of the kingdom, and also a real power count with very unclean hands and feet, the wealth hidden in the basement of Greg directly made Leo step into the ranks of the rich, not to mention the others, the value of magic materials alone is more than one million gold coins.
"Haha, this is really a man without a windfall and no wealth, and a horse without night grass and no fat. Greg, this golden curly-haired, if I see his treasure room being moved by me, I don't know if he will be angry directly? ”
With such a large windfall, Leo smiled happily. Brother finally has money and silver, no wonder so many people like to rob the rich to help the poor, robbing the rich of their wealth to relieve their poverty is really a shortcut to make a fortune.
It's a good thing to be rich, but the lack of evidence of Gregor's deal with the Defia Thieves is a fly in the ointment. But some things are really reluctant, Leo controlled the poisonous flower vine and searched for most of the day and still didn't get any gains, and in the end he had to give up.
By the time Leo returned to the Gilded Rose Inn, the Stormwind prison riot he had started was nearing its end. Under the powerful offensive of the city guards, most of the prisoners who started the riot were killed and wounded, more than 600 people were killed in the riot, and less than ten prisoners managed to escape. Next, as long as you hide deeper, it won't be a big problem to avoid the search of the city guards. After all, this is a royal city, and it is impossible to hunt down a few prisoners who are insignificant in the eyes of the aristocracy.
As soon as he entered the house, a large sword was horizontally in front of Leo, and Leo was greeted by Scarlett's pretty face full of anger.
"You made up the prison riot, do you know how many people died?"
This girl actually asked her brother with a righteous face, who does she think she is, is it amazing to be beautiful? Leo pursed his lips, in his eyes the words that beauty is privileged will only work when he is in a good mood, and now, anyone who is put on the neck with a big sword will not be in a good mood.
"The prisons in Stormwind City are full of vicious criminals, and it's a good thing that these people are dead, and you need to know that eliminating evil is promoting good. As for the casualties, you'll understand after listening to me......"
If it weren't for the fact that the two were still working together, Leo wouldn't have explained to Scarlett that it's your business what love thinks, but please don't be presumptuous.
As Leo spoke, Scarlett's face couldn't help but look shocked, she had never imagined that these jailers, who were members of the Kingdom Guard, would do such a thing. Words such as the heinous nature of human life should not be applied to criminals, who are far more appropriate than criminals.
Scarlett didn't doubt Leo's words, and the female knight's instincts told him that everything this man said was true.
"I really didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Stormwind Kingdom." The female knight's sword has been put down, and Scarlett's mind is not the rigid kind of old stubbornness, and she understands the truth that eliminating evil is promoting good. Whether it's a criminal in a prison or a jailer, neither is a good thing, and it deserves to die. As for the problems of the city guards, they were tacitly ignored by the two, and sometimes some sacrifices were necessary.
Hearing that Leo did not find evidence in Earl Gregor's Palace, Scarlett pondered for a while and said, "If it can't be found anywhere, will it be that the evidence was taken by Greg with him, after all, no one would think of searching an earl." ”
After being reminded by the female knight, Leo felt that the surname might not be ordinary, and if there was really evidence, it would be much safer for Greg to take with him than to put it in the secret room. The secret room will also attract thieves, and who will check the personal space of an earl?
Scarlett had apparently thought of this, and the knightess decided: "Go to the palace, I will meet your king Anduin Ureon." ”
