Chapter 610: The spy suddenly appeared
Sometimes things in the world are so helpless, the more you hate and fear something, the more it comes together. As soon as Henry returned to the Geralt family, he immediately received a report from Antleb that Liloa, whose bones were broken, were missing, and to be exact, she should have disappeared out of thin air.
Under the guard of several elite assassins, she suddenly evaporated from the world for some reason, without any traces of movement, and there were no fluctuations in spells or magic spells, which made people's scalps tingle strangely. Even more unfortunate is that the Mother of the First Family, Adu (Lace), is planning to convene a meeting to ask all the housemothers of the ruling family to attend.
This is simply forcing Henry to do it right away. You must know that the Mother of Xingdra was hacked to death a few days ago, and the corpse has long been fed to the trolls. And her successor, Liroa, is now alive and dead, and she can't even find a temporary replacement, so she really can't find any other way than to start a war immediately. Just as his eyes flashed a fierce color and he was about to make a direct move, a noisy sound suddenly came from the gate.
"Your Excellency, it seems to be Jalaso and his independent mercenary group of Dayette." Anteleb glanced at it and cautiously reminded.
He had spent the past few days in a state of panic and fear since discovering that such an important prisoner was missing, lest he wake up and see the entire city's army concentrated at the gates of the Geralt family. You must know that the murderous housewives have always been merciless to those men who dare to challenge the dominance of women, and there is definitely one to kill one, and two to kill a pair.
Obviously, once the word of what they are doing in this family gets out, there is no doubt that they will be punished by Ust. The encirclement of Nashar. Don't plan it then. It's hard to say whether you'll be able to escape alive.
Henry took a deep breath. forced himself to calm down, then rubbed his brows and whispered: "Let them in, it just so happens that I also need to find out if anything major has happened in the last two days." Also, let your people kill all the remaining priests, these guys are a source of instability right now, and I don't want to be stabbed at a critical moment. ”
Anteleb nodded slightly: "Understood, I'll do it." But what about the emissary sent by the council? He is still waiting for our reply. ”
"Tell him that his mistress will be punctual first, and then ...... halfway," Henry squinted his eyes and made a throat-slitting gesture. He couldn't think of a better way now. I had to choose to kill people to delay the time. Not more, just a few hours.
Since the end of the surface war, at least half of the forces of the Mage, including the Chief Mage Sidrix, have been destroyed, and the Mage Tower is now basically in an unprecedented state of weakness, and it is the best time to rescue Eren and settle the feud with Chasma by the way.
"Rest assured, I guarantee that this messenger will not survive for more than ten minutes." As he spoke, Anteleb bowed deeply and turned to leave. He knew very well that this was his last chance, and if he messed up again, let alone the noble title, he was afraid that he might not even be able to keep his current position.
Robert's principle of control of the Thieves' Guild has always been loyalty first. Ability second. On the premise of ensuring loyalty, capable people are always promoted quickly. That's why organizations are able to grow as quickly as they snowball. There are quite a few capable guys in the Dark Elf Assassin Squad, and a few of them are not very peaceful, and they have been snooping on this position for a long time, but they have never been given a chance.
Competition brings progress, competition brings vitality, and competition also brings a huge sense of oppression. No one wants to fall from a height, and Antlebe, who has already tasted power, is even more reluctant. He secretly swore that once he found Liloya's damn biaozi, he would definitely let her taste what it meant to be better off than dead.
A few minutes later, Jalaso, dressed in a tight-fitting crop top, came to Henry. He took the initiative to take off his hat, then sat down in a chair and said with an exaggerated expression, "Oh...... My friend, you've done something terrible. With thousands of Dark Elf armies destroyed and all the nobles and priests killed, it will be difficult for the city to recover for hundreds of years. ”
Hearing this, Henry's face changed slightly, and he stared at the cunning mercenary leader in front of him for a few minutes, and then shook his head with a chuckle: "It seems that you are very well-informed, and you know it so quickly." But Uster. The city of Nasa has no chance, and it will not be long before I destroy it and disappear from the world completely. How's it going, did I bring what I wanted? ”
"Wow! It's horrible. But you better be careful, my nose smells of conspiracy on you, it's very ...... Very rich. As he spoke, Jalaso fumbled in his waist bag for a long time, and finally pulled out a piece of parchment full of wrinkles. Here's what you want, a pass to enter the Mage's Tower, which can only be used once, and then it's completely useless. ”
"Thanks, I guess having this is enough. In return, now the entire Geralt family's warehouse is open to you, and you can take as many weapons and armor as you can. After Henry got the pass, he did not hesitate to be generous.
Anyway, the things forged by the dark elves can't be used on the surface at all, so it's better to take them out and give them to this mercenary leader to make a good fate, maybe when they can be used in the future. As for those gold coins, jewels, and special magical items, he had already swept them away, and they wouldn't be cheap to outsiders at all.
Rao is Jalaso was well-informed and couldn't help but be taken aback by this news. You must know that this is all the inventory of a powerful family, and if you take it out and sell it, you can definitely earn more than 100,000 gold coins. Although the Dayette Independent Mercenary Regiment has a great reputation, it is the first time that they have encountered such a generous employer.
He stood up excitedly and asked in a hurried voice, "How many are there?" ”
"Hehe, there are not many armor, only a dozen pairs of full-body armor, less than two hundred helmets, and a hundred shields. There are a lot of weapons, a large number of halberds, scimitars, long swords, etc., I haven't counted them specifically, it is estimated that there are at least about two thousand......" Henry said a number very indifferently that made the mercenary leader's heart tremble.
"Damn! There are so many. Oh...... Oh, my God! It's a blissful annoyance, and I've got to figure out a way to get them all out. Jalaso muttered as he scratched his ears and shook his cheeks. He was completely dazzled by such a large amount of wealth. He even forgot the purpose of his trip.
Seeing this guy's fidgeting appearance. Henry tapped lightly on the table and reminded, "If you need to." I can give you a pass for the Geralt family, and I believe that the guards of the city gate will not dare to stop you until the news of the defeat returns. But everything has a price, don't know what you can pay? ”
He was very curious about where the news of this mercenary leader came from, normally, no matter what kind of spy organization it was, it would probably not be able to be so accurate and efficient, unless......
"Hey, hey. I happen to have a piece of information here, and I'm sure you'll be very interested. As he spoke, Jalaso pulled a note from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table. There was a hint of amusement on his face, as if he knew some secret.
"Oh? Are you so sure I'll be interested in this information? Henry asked, frowning slightly. He didn't open the note immediately, because the mercenary leader's eyes were very abnormal, and he was completely in a posture of trying to see through himself.
Jalaso lifted the brim of his hat and laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahahahaha!" Friend, open it up and take a look. I want you to assure you that this is definitely the most information you need. It's unbelievable that the heir of the god of killing, Baal, has appeared underground, which is so interesting. Isn't it? ”
After hearing this, Henry's face instantly became gloomy. There was even a hint of murder in the two eyes. He resisted the urge to crush the preface to death, lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get the news?" Or to put it another way, who gave you the information? ”
"Why do you ask? Can't I get information from my own people? Jalaso asked loudly and bluffingly.
This is his usual style, first deceiving the other party, and then using tangled and strange ways to deliver the fatal blow. Few people can see through such chaotic behavior, because at first glance they seem to be moving from one thing to the next, and there is no pattern at all.
But Henry was different, he could clearly feel that there was a deadly conspiracy hidden behind those eyes, so he threatened without hesitation: "Ask one last time, who gave you information, tell him his name and appearance, otherwise we will be enemies." I think you should know how I deal with my enemies. ”
"Okay, okay, don't be so fierce, I just wanted to make a joke." Jalaso immediately raised his hands in surrender. "In the early hours of yesterday morning, a sneaky guy slipped a note into my pocket. His back looked like a thief, and his movements were out of step with those of the Dark Elves, and he felt a little like a surface human. As for the name, sorry, I don't know. I swear, that's all I know. ”
He was really a little afraid of those terrifying eyes, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. You must know that now the entire Geralt family is under Henry's control, if there is really a conflict, I am afraid that the Dayette Independent Mercenary Group will really become history.
"I was able to get accurate information...... The profession is a thief...... Acts like surface humans...... I think I know who this guy is. The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly into a wicked smile.
There is no doubt that in addition to always following in Joan. There will never be a second person next to Irenikas. I really didn't expect that he was still hiding in Uster. In the city of Naza, there must be some important plan being carried out, and judging from the description just now, it is likely that it is against itself.
"Interesting, an ace spy, a group of dark elf nobles who are ready to move, the first family that has been forced into a corner, the ignorant Abel Dale and his party, the vengeful Chasma, plus the Geralt family that I control, the situation is really lively enough. With that being the case, let's play a game of life and see who wins. After saying that, Henry's eyes showed a deep gaze, as if the whole person had become different.
He now has the confidence to defeat any enemy, even if it's a god. This is the consciousness of being a chess player, and it is completely different from those chess pieces that are still being manipulated at will on the chessboard. There are only a handful of players in the entire main plane, and they all have one thing in common, that is, they can face the gods head-on......
