Chapter 389: Initiative IV.
In the morning, the Grand Duke Swordsman arrived at the 'Seagull Inn'.
It's not a simple trip alone, but a guard from Emerald Castle.
And this naturally shows that the Grand Duke Swordsman is not here on behalf of an individual.
Under the innkeeper's sincere hospitality, several guards guarded the door and corridor of the inn, and the Grand Duke Swordsman left to the room where Dean was sitting.
"Nice catch!"
Entering Dean's room, the Grand Duke Swordsman looked at the three people who were unconscious on the ground, as well as the dozen or so humanoid ice sculptures on the other side, and couldn't help but say.
"It's better than I thought it would be - this guy must have something to do with Seymour's family, the same...... Someone or someone in the Seymour United family also has a certain relationship with this pirate alliance incident; But I didn't ask for specifics - I wasn't given such plenty of time last night! ”
Dean pointed to the middle-aged man with broad cheeks and said.
"Of course, at a glance!"
Grand Duke Swordsman chuckled.
"This one is a spy from the local black market, and this one is from the Thieves' Guild - I thought you'd be useful, so I stayed! I've taken care of the rest! ”
Dean gestured to the other two unconscious men.
"Thank you for what you've done for me!"
Suddenly, the Grand Duke Swordsman said, and there seemed to be a different charm in his expression.
"We're friends, aren't we?"
Dean said deafly, and then, straight away. "Next. I need you to cover it up for me. There is real news that it was sold to several parties, including the one you represent; However, instead of taking Kimpton, he received a request: to escort him out of Southport County safely! ”
"You want?"
The Grand Duke Swordsman looked at Dean in a daze.
"We got some of the information we wanted, but not all of them - look at the guys in front of us, they are all small fish. We need real big fish! ”
Dean explained slowly.
"We need a more detailed plan, it's too risky for you to be the only one Dean!"
The Grand Duke Swordsman's words were tinged with rejection.
"Instructor, at any time, there is no such thing as being perfectly prepared - you just need to be able to take the lead, which is the biggest advantage! And now, we have the biggest advantage! ”
Dean said with a smile.
Such words seem to be unreasonable, but if you taste it carefully, there is some truth.
In short, it's hard to refute.
And Dean, who said that. Naturally, there is no more way.
After all, he can't always say. He needs more enemies in exchange for XP, right?
【XP:510】
Last night, facing the steady stream of 'visitors', Dean gained 450XP.
This was a natural surprise for Dean.
And this unexpected joy made Dean begin to face up to his identity as a 'decoy' this time - unlike at the beginning of this southward journey, in the face of the Ring of Morbius, Dean was for more XP.
Because, given the situation in Southport, Dean doesn't think he'll be able to get more XP.
However, last night's harvest made Dean realize that he was thinking a little wrong.
Even with a golden powerhouse like the Emerald Grand Duke, there are still countless characters in the shadows, and they are not weak - among the visitors one night, there were three big knights, and the rest were knight-level, such a lineup definitely surprised Dean.
So, when the time was right, Dean thought he could change his original plan.
After all, Dean doesn't dislike XP - at any given time.
"What's more, this is Nangang County, which is the territory directly under His Highness, how can I encounter real danger when there is no gold-level powerhouse?"
Dean persuaded again.
Obviously, the Jade Grand Duke has a rather different status in the heart of the Grand Duke Sword Master.
In Dean's words, the swordsman's face loosened slightly.
"Besides, I'm not really going to leave Southport County - instructor, you can support you at any time!"
Looking at the Grand Duke Swordsman's face with a loose face, Dean said in pursuit.
"Won't you really leave Southport?"
Grand Duke Swordsman asked.
"Well, my plan is ......"
Dean nodded, his voice lowering involuntarily.
……
The guards of Emerald Castle and the chief swordsman of the Emerald Grand Duke suddenly appeared at the 'Seagull Hotel', which made the people in the dock area inexplicably surprised for a while.
And many people rushed to hear the news and wanted to see if it was true or false.
When they really saw the brightly armored guards of Emerald Castle, these people couldn't help but admire.
However, in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, the qiē in front of them is different.
They reported all the news of the inquiry to the big man behind them.
The second floor of a shop in the business district.
A man of medium height, but extremely fat, was sitting behind a desk, quietly looking at the note in his hand.
"Our people, don't you have any news yet?"
The fat man asked.
"My lord, no!"
A subordinate standing next to him replied.
"Pull everyone back!"
The fat man said straight.
"But, my lord, that D......"
The subordinate looked at his adult in confusion.
"That D, I always feel a little unusual—and besides, this matter itself has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to continue to participate!"
The fat man waved his hand, and his tone became firm.
"Yes, sir!"
The subordinate immediately bowed down and disappeared into the room.
……
And not far from the previous shop, there is also a shop.
Only, from upstairs. Underground.
Four people who are hidden in the shadows. They silently looked at the news in front of each other.
"Humph! This D wants to run! ”
A voice snorted coldly.
"The people who provoked our thieves' union. How could it be possible to let him run away! ”
The other voice was somber.
"There are people from Emerald Castle near the docks, but those people are just a front, this guy D doesn't want to leave by boat at all, he should choose to go by land!"
The third voice was tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
"Then, we will stay on his path and deal him a fatal blow!"
The last voice, with a hint of decision.
"Do you need to notify that guy?"
The first voice said suddenly.
"Of course. Why not? We're staunch allies—and doesn't he want justice for his people? ”
A third voice replied.
"I always feel like this guy is hiding something!"
A second voice said.
"It doesn't matter what you hide, the most important thing is to give us the right Kimpton - he never gives it on credit, that's all that matters! Send the news to him! ”
The last voice said.
And it is clear that the last voice is the leader, and his words represent the final decision.
As a result, there was soon no sound underground, and the four figures disappeared.
……
Charcoal on a teapot. The milky flavor is overflowing.
Boiling milk, filling the room with aroma. The two maids immediately arranged all kinds of tea utensils with their hands and feet, put the tea leaves and spices into the teacups with extremely strict measurement standards, and then brewed them with boiling milk.
Then, another maid, holding a teapot and a teacup, walked slowly to another room at the end of the hallway.
Forty feet long in the hallway, every ten feet, stood two squires who were physically fit.
They have uniform armor and swords.
In the same way, there is also an aura that makes ordinary people tremble.
It's definitely not a showmanship, but a real good hand who has experienced the test of blood and fire.
The maid walked slowly among the guards, all of whom did not squint, as if they were sculptures, which was enough to show that they had good discipline.
"Your Excellency!"
"Come in!"
At the gentle knock of the guards in front of the door, a young voice came from inside.
The maid entered the room with a teacup.
Bookshelves two feet tall filled the room, and in the center of the room, a young man in a white robe sat half-reclining on a thick, extremely wide cushion.
The long blue hair is casually poured down like a waterfall.
And the handsome face, under a bit of laziness, with a hint of femininity.
However, it is precisely because of this hint of femininity that this young man is more and more loved by girls and ladies in high society.
In the upper class of jadeite, there is no shortage of ladies and ladies who love this type.
"Your Excellency!"
The maid's voice brought Kolco, who was immersed in the book, back to his senses, and he smiled gently at the maid, and suddenly, the maid's cheeks turned red, and she hurriedly put down the teacup, and stood there a little bewildered.
"Come, come here!"
Colko grabbed the handmaiden's palm, pulled the other party into his arms, looked at the other party's overwhelmed appearance, and smiled softly.
And just as Corco was about to go further, a faint tapping sound that he could only make out sounded sounded.
"Baby, I'm sorry - shall we continue next time?"
Colco looked apologetically at the maid.
The maid, who had already blushed, got up tremblingly, and then ran out of the room full of books quickly.
And the moment the door closed, a figure appeared in front of Corko.
"Young Master, there's news from the Thieves' Union!"
The figure handed the note to the lazy teenager in front of him.
"What boring fellows, who, in just one or two innocuous collaborations, elevate themselves to a point where they don't deserve it at all - what ignorance!"
After reading the note, Colko casually tossed it aside.
"Young Master, what about us?"
The figure asked.
"Follow them and see if there's anything cheap - that D's identity, find out?"
Colko shifted his position, stretching his body in a completely lying position on the mat, like a cat awakened, asking his subordinates.
"There are some clues......"
The subordinate immediately whispered.
