Chapter 9: Chess pieces
"Your Excellency, your Excellency!"
Jack cautiously called out to Dean, who seemed to be pensive—although during this time of Dean's contemplation, Jack wanted to flee very much, but the corpses of Basum and Sidley on the ground made him wisely choose to give up; The corpse of the former once again revealed Dean's great strength, which he was far behind; And the latter? It even forced him into a desperate situation: Jack couldn't think of any other way than to choose to cooperate with the person in front of him.
As for going back and begging for mercy from the original boss 'Wild Fox' Mitte?
Jack, who killed his own people and betrayed the other party, can be sure to wait for only the torture that his boss loves.
What's more, there is also the ** in his body, which makes Jack have no choice - he doesn't want to die yet!
Therefore, at this time, Jack can only hope that the adult in front of him can fulfill what he said before.
"Well done! This is the antidote for this half a year, open your mouth! ”
Dean, who came back to his senses at Jack's call, threw what he had prepared into the other man's open mouth - his antidote was just something random, and Dean couldn't rest assured if he didn't watch the other person take it; After all, there are not many wizards who are proficient in alchemy, but there are also quite a few.
And the appearance of any one of them may break his lies.
Before taking over the power of 'Wild Fox' Mitt, Dean has no intention of letting this lie be exposed.
That's right, at this time, Dean has already thought about the use of this Jack who would have been killed by him - whether it is the smuggling channel, or some men walking in the shadows, Dean needs to take over the power of the 'Wild Fox' Mitt, of course, with him and Jack now, it is still far from enough.
It also requires some meticulous planning.
And because of this thought, in the following conversation, Dean slowed down: "Jack, take out everything you brought!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Jack, who had just escaped, didn't know that he was just glad that he was temporarily free from the threat of **; However, when he thought that it had only been half a year, in the face of Dean's order, the robber-turned-Jack became more and more submissive.
Under Dean's orders, Jack ran very quickly for a distance of about twenty yards, and after a careful search for a long time, he picked up the long sword in his hand and dug - it was clear that the bandits who had come to Horntown were quite careful and knew how to hide those unsightly things.
As for digging with a long sword, insulting the meaning of the sword?
Jack, who was born as a robber, couldn't manage so much, he wasn't a knight, he only knew that his hand was injured, and digging with a sword was more effortless.
"My lord, it's all here!"
After five minutes of digging, Jack moved a box that was slightly larger than the previous one, and seeing Jack's struggling appearance, Dean estimated the weight of the box, which was much heavier than he had seen; Of course, this proves that it is worth a lot.
"Search carefully, bury them, and remember to dig a little deeper!"
Dean, who lowered his voice, commanded Jack again, although the latter wanted to complain that his continuous excavation had consumed a lot of body and needed to take a break, but in the face of Dean's dark eyes hidden under his hood, Jack cleverly chose to remain silent and began to drag the two corpses to the place where the box had been dug up before.
Undoubtedly, the robber wanted to build on this hole; At the very least, it will save him some effort; He didn't get tired to the ground because he didn't complete the orders of the big man behind him who scared him.
After all, he couldn't guarantee what would happen to him if he didn't complete his orders.
Seeing Jack holding the sword to expand the pit again, Dean didn't say anything - his intention to let the other party leave was just an excuse to bury the corpse, more out of caution; You know, he used this 'distraction' method to kill Basum, who was a step stronger than him, and Dean was not willing to follow in Basum's footsteps, even if the other party was very docile and respectful.
Syllable!
The bronze lock, under the smash of the hilt of the long sword, twisted swiftly and broke away from the lock - it is clear that the four robbers, including Basum, did not have the key on them, and this lock was stored to show sincerity, the sincerity of 'Wild Fox' Mitt.
Dean could have guessed that the key that could open the lock was in the hands of the big man who was about to trade and form an alliance with 'Wild Fox' Mitte
However, I am afraid that this 'wild fox' Mitt did not expect that the greed of his subordinates would completely destroy his plans, and even he himself would be hanged at the head of the city - yes, from the beginning to the end, the Ruman from the Emerald Capital. Bora is just a fat sheep who has been targeted by robbers who have seen their fortune.
As for who 'Wild Fox' Mitte wants to trade?
Of course, Dean had a certain suspicion - there were not many people in Yorkshire who could be seen by Mittre 'Wild Fox' in Vaubon, and it just so happened that according to Dean's memory, there was one in Horntown, or ...... Horntown is the territory of the opposing party.
The second son of the Marquess of York, he was in charge of two of the two largest and six small and eight of the eight lords of Yorkshire. York, and Horntown is just one of four towns that the other side has in addition to Tiphorn.
For the second son of the Marquis of York, Dean remembers it vividly in the previous life - in the First Blood Moon War, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Cipti broke through Yorkshire, which was regarded as the northern barrier by the Emerald Kingdom, in less than three days, and this second son of Yorkshire contributed a lot.
Of course, it was not a rebellion, but only a struggle between the eldest son and the second son of the nobles.
It's a pity that the King of Seti directly seized the opportunity and attacked the Emerald Capital in one fell swoop, opening the fiasco of the Emerald Kingdom in the First Blood Moon War.
Therefore, for the second son of the Marquis of York this time, Dean did not have the slightest favor, and it would not be too much to say that he was disgusted.
So, when he picked up the letter that had been placed at the top of the box, and confirmed that his guess was correct, Dean snorted.
The whole letter did not contain much content, and most of it was the passionate sycophants of the 'wild fox' Mitter, and only in the last part the matter of the 'smuggling route' was raised—although it was only a few strokes, but the importance of it could be seen by anyone, and Dean was no exception; What's more, Dean himself is here for this.
The wealth generated by this smuggling route is immeasurable, especially for Dean - the most basic thing to do in a war and change its course is Kimpton, and only with Kimpton can he have equipment, weapons, and soldiers.
Of course, in order to truly 'own' this smuggling route, some arrangements are necessary, and first, the 'wild fox' Mitt who knows must die!
As for how to take out 'Wild Fox' Mitt, Dean already has a very good idea and a ready-made candidate, so in the next moment, Dean's eyes are on Jack, who has just completed the task of burying the body.
"Your Excellency, please command!"
When Ye Qi's gaze came, such a greeting sounded immediately - although the fatigue of the body made Jack want to sit down very much, gasping for air, but when he saw Dean's gaze, Jack subconsciously stood up straight and asked respectfully.
"There's one thing you need to do...... What do you think of Mitter? ”
Dean pondered his words and said in a low tone.
"Boss Mitt is very powerful...... Of course, you're the best! ”
Jack didn't know what Dean meant, he only instinctively answered, but the robber did not forget to add at the end - when it comes to flattery and sycophancy, almost everyone is self-taught, and this robber is no exception.
"What if you were asked to take your place?"
Ignoring the other party's clumsy flattery, Dean's eyes hidden under his hood stared at the other party silently.
"What?! Me, I...... He, he ......"
Jack subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then, speechless.
"Do you want to? To know...... Some opportunities are only available once! ”
Dean asked, and kept putting pressure on Jack.
Sweat overflowed from the robber's forehead, a dense layer, and the lips, which were already dry from fatigue, became more and more chapped, so that Jack involuntarily stretched out his tongue and licked, his breathing began to rapid, and the sudden heat in his heart made his voice tremble.
"Think, think!"
Jack said.
Then, as if he had lost all his strength, Jack collapsed on the ground - he raised his head and looked at Dean who was wrapped in a cloak and stood by the campfire, the other party's shadow danced twisted under the flames, as if the devil in hell had broken the ground, stretched out his claws, and shrouded him slowly and powerfully, but he couldn't stop or dodge at all, because in that claw was not only with a deadly sharpness, but also with a ** that he could not let go, making him motionless.
