Chapter 129: The Auction. Clearance down
Just as Dean had expected, after the last auction item had been sold, the waiters began to rearrange the hall, the square tables and chairs were moved in, and the original guests in the hall went to the side hall to rest for a while—Dean was certainly not interested in listening to the nobles talk about the previous auction, and he left the side hall after signaling to the young lady of the Baron Tyre's house that he was going out to get some air.
It is naturally not easy to find someone in an ancient castle.
However, if this person is the owner of the castle, it is much easier.
After all, even in the castle, the owner of the castle had his own guards - although the Marquis Vauban was not a luxury person, he still attached great importance to his own protection.
At least, in the previous auction, Dean could still feel the wariness of the Baron Jandu.
Undoubtedly, at that time, Baron Jandu was the bodyguard of the Marquis de Vauban .
After leaving the hall, Baron Zhandu naturally couldn't keep up, but beside the Marquis of Vauban there was naturally no shortage of guards.
What's more, Dean also knows the path of the first half when the other party leaves-
"The hall has three doors, one leading to the side hall and the other to the square of the antechamber, and the Marquis de Vauban takes this one leading to the back atrium...... Over here! ”
Dean, who had locked on the general direction, quickly appeared.
At the door of a room next to the corridor, two heavily armed guards were standing, and the knight-level status indicated the nobility of the person being protected in the room.
And in the Château Vaubana, there is naturally no one else except the Marquis of Vauban anymore.
Dean stood in the shadows on one side of the promenade, the setting sun providing him with good shelter. But. It's not night, after all. If you want to get closer, it's a bit difficult for Dean; If it were two ordinary people, he would still be able to try it, but if it was two knights, especially if he was in Fort Vauban, Dean would never dare to take the risk lightly.
"Did Mader get into action and shirk his responsibility? Or did the 'Brotherhood' release some smoke in advance? ”
Dean stood in a shadow of light and darkness, his gaze not taking his eyes off the room. At the bottom of my heart, I continued to speculate before.
Of course, Dean couldn't make a final guess until he saw anyone in the room except the Marquis de Vauban again.
Luckily, Dean knew the conversation wouldn't be long.
After all, the Marquis de Vauban as the master would have been present in the hall before the dinner began.
As the sun receded, blackness began to appear in the sky.
And the door, which had been stared at by Dean, was opened at this moment.
The Marquis de Vauban stepped out, and the door closed slowly.
"Huh?!"
Dean was slightly stunned. It was hard to hide the surprise on his face, in his expectation. The people in the room should have left with the Marquis de Vauban .
However, now the Marquis de Vauban left alone.
Looking at the approaching Marquis of Vauban and staring with bated breath, Dean let out a slight sigh of relief when the other party left here with two guards; However, his body still stood in the shadows, and his eyes were fixed on the room.
Now, far away from those two knight-level guards, if Dean wants to get closer, it will naturally not be difficult.
However, the banquet that was about to begin, if Dean was not there, would obviously attract the attention of some well-intentioned people; Including the Marquis de Vaubana.
For this old fox in the same camp, Dean never dared to underestimate it.
And once the suspicion of the other party is aroused, it is quite disadvantageous for Dean; After all, some of his details simply cannot stand up to scrutiny until he has made a thorough arrangement.
If it is exposed, it will naturally fall short.
Dean would never let his whole plan go wrong because of what was in front of him.
So, after glancing at the room again, Dean quickly retreated back to the side hall—
"Hurry up, the party is about to start!"
The young lady of Baron Tyre's house, looking at Dean who had walked in, immediately walked over.
Obviously, because of Dean's 'polite refusal' to the Marquis of Vauban before, the young lady of the baron's family was in a good mood, and Dean's senses changed again.
Of course, this does not mean that the resentment against Dean in her heart has disappeared, but only because of Dean's appearance, this young lady has temporarily buried this resentment in her heart.
As for how much will disappear?
The girl's heart is like a needle under the sea, and those who want to guess are stupid.
"Hmm!"
Dean nodded slightly, and walked into the hall side by side with the young lady of Baron Tyre's family beside him.
Yes, the jealous eyes of Baron Jar next to him?
Dean simply ignored it.
The banquet was as boring as ever, as if it were a copy of yesterday - in fact, most of the banquets attract attention the first time.
However, the second and third time, only boredom remained.
After all, no one wants to go through the same thing again.
Therefore, everyone who attended the banquet formed their own circle and talked to each other to beat the time.
Of course, for some people with special purposes, this is the best time to do so; Whether it is to join a certain circle, or to inquire about some things through a certain circle, it is extremely convenient.
Dean watched the Marquis's aide Madr wander around the circle with a wine glass, and subconsciously thought of the word 'courtesan'.
The other party obviously has quite good knowledge and cultivation, no matter which circle it is, it can be smoothly integrated, and, driving the overall atmosphere, bursts of laughter.
Of course, that's not what Dean was paying attention to!
The other party seems to have entered the hall before him!
After all, before he entered the hall, the other party was already standing here - even if he didn't know the other party's name just now, but because the position where the other party was standing was not far from the Marquis of Vauban side, Dean had already remembered the other party's appearance in his heart, and after that, the other party's wandering and greetings let Dean know the other party's name.
"He can't be faster than me, unless ......"
Dean speculated.
Dean knew the route back to the hall from the back gallery room; After all, it was a matter of self-evidentness, and on such a route he had not seen anyone but the Marquis de Vauban again; Therefore, if Mader was in that room, it would not have been possible to be faster than him.
Unless the other party will be invisible!
However, this is obviously not possible.
Although, wizards are very good at this, but they will never use spells for no reason; Especially in the situation at that time, it was obvious that it was the most correct choice for the other party to leave with the Marquis Vauban .
As for the secret passages?
There are certainly secret passages inside Vaubant Castle, in fact, every castle will have a secret passage.
However, there is definitely no connection to a place as crowded as the lobby.
The meaning of the secret passage is for the sake of secrecy, and the secret places are inaccessible to ordinary people; For example: the master's bedroom, study, etc.
"It's not him in that room!"
Eventually, Dean came to this conclusion.
"Who is talking to the Marquis de Vauban in that room?"
Naturally, the previous conclusion was reached, and this conclusion appeared in Dean's heart.
However, the scope is so vast that it is impossible for Dean to get an answer.
What's more, Madel, who was not far away, had already walked over with a wine glass.
"Baron Jandhu, good evening...... Baron Jan, it's a pleasure to see you again...... Lily. Miss Tyre, you are so beautiful...... This one, this must be Dean. Captain Ken, right? Your recent fame has really been thunderous to me! ”
Madr smiled and greeted Dean and the group.
It is hard to imagine that in such a short sentence, this Lord Mader has done everything; And it's all according to the differences of each person.
Undoubtedly, such a greeting is extremely easy to gain the favor of others.
At least, the Baron of Jall was already smiling.
And the young lady of Baron Tyre's family also smiled.
As for the baron of Zhandu, who has a stern face?
He didn't frown, he had already explained that the other party didn't disgust him.
And Dean?
With a peculiar hint of reserved humility on his face, he responded to each other with a smile, as if he were the children of those nobles.
"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Lord Madel!"
"Dean. Captain Ken, your strength is really admirable, Vauban is rarely a young man like you! Where is your hometown? ”
"Katyujun!"
"It turned out to be the three southern counties! It's under the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke, no wonder ......"
"The Grand Duke is a man worthy of respect!"
……
A simple exchange begins with such an exchange.
Dean had apparently noticed that the Lord Mader was very interested in him, and was inquiring about something from time to time - of course, very stealthy.
Look at the unaware appearance of the other three people present, you can know.
As for the other party's suspicions, Dean gradually turned from speculation to affirmation.
The other party's body has a smell that he is very familiar with-
That hypocritical taste of walking in the shadows with a mask!
The staff of the Marquis de Vauban has the taste of a man who walks in the shadows...... The identity of the other party seems to be self-evident.
Of course, Dean didn't skip the small steps in the original plan because of this.
In fact, because it is certain.
Dean would see the necessity of such a small step.
After all, he had to control Gosai's entire spy network in Vauban County.
And if you want to control the entire network, you must naturally kill the original deep-rooted second-in-command, and only in this way can his 'brain' appear!
