Chapter 287: Aftermath. Looking for I.
After leaving the Lion Mercenary Regiment's residence, Dean did not return to his residence, but instead began to wander outside the civilian quarters of Hosh City.
According to his reasoning, the people of Count Hosh should have acted by now.
His initiative to return is far less convincing than being found by the other party.
In fact, it would be even better if there were a few more accidents!
For example, if you enter a secret organization, have a fight, and then bluntly state that you were brought here.
However, aside from the black market, Dean does not know the exact location of the rest of the hidden organizations in Horsh City.
Even the black market was only known because of the last time I passed through Horsh City, because I bought items.
As for using the black market as a scapegoat?
Dean, who also wants to find out the news, definitely doesn't think it's a good choice.
Therefore, he could only go to the chaotic civilian area.
Because in the entire city of Hosh, only this place is more compliant: conducive to evasion, concealment and other conditions.
And when Dean was making a second 'round' around the civilian area, there were waves of footsteps in the distance, holding torches alof, so that the leather armor of the Horsh City guards on them could be seen clearly from a distance.
In the same way, Dean, who did not hide his whereabouts, was clearly seen-
"Is it Lord Zelgaon?"
The leader of the guards shouted.
"Yes, you are?"
Dean nodded, then asked knowingly.
"We are Lord Karl who brought you to find and assist you!"
The leader of the guards replied with unusual respect.
Obviously, the news of the death of the 'abuser'. And it was not hidden.
"Good. The person I'm tracking has entered here. You help me cordon off this place, and there's only one left, help me inform Mott and ask him to bring more people! ”
Dean didn't give a polite assigning.
The guards moved quickly, and began to block the main entrances and exits of the civilian area, except for those who had gone to inform Mott.
Just five minutes later, Mott showed up with more people.
"Here?"
Without a pleasantry, Mott asked directly.
"Hmm. I chased it all the way here, and then, lost sight of the other party—they were very fast and unusually familiar with the terrain of Hosh! ”
Dean said with a solemn countenance.
"No matter how fast it is, it's just a mouse!"
Mott said this, showing considerable confidence, and then, with a wave of his hand.
Suddenly, a team of hundreds of people behind him began to enter the civilian area.
"Able to take out the 'Torturers'. Dean, your strength is really beyond my expectations, how about we fight? ”
At the time of the soldier searching. Mott said suddenly.
Looking at the burning heat in Mott's eyes, Dean suddenly knew what kind of person he had encountered, and couldn't help but smile bitterly - battle maniac, such a existence is not uncommon among knights, and it is even very common.
Especially in Xiti, that kind of belligerent atmosphere has spread from the royal family to the people, and it has almost become a practice to speak with fists.
Although the overall atmosphere of jadeite is not like this, some individual people are like this.
The most famous is none other than the chief guard of the Jade Grand Duke, and the 'Black Rose', who is as famous as the swordsman 'White Rose'.
Although the other party is a lady, that kind of fighting style makes many men who think they are brave and ashamed.
"I think you should go to the 'Black Rose'!"
Dean, who smiled wryly, said so.
Then, he immediately saw Mott in front of him, his face changed, and his whole person looked a little stiff.
"Well, it looks like you've looked for it!"
Dean looked at Mott's appearance, and immediately knew what was going on - it was obvious that Mott, who had the name of 'genius' when he was a teenager, was challenged by the 'Black Rose' when he traveled to the three southern counties, and the result of that battle was definitely unreminiscent.
"It was one of my worst memories!"
Mott replied, and then fell silent; Not only did he not talk to Dean about the challenge anymore, but he also lost interest in talking.
Naturally, Dean couldn't ask for this.
It's not that he's afraid of fighting, he just doesn't want pointless fighting.
And a battle that is just like a battle with no possibility of gaining XP is meaningless in Dean's eyes.
Therefore, after Mott fell into the memory of suffering and lost interest in conversation, Dean was silent, and around the two of them, the soldiers naturally did not speak, only the torches held high 'crackled' in the night wind.
And the soldiers searching in the distance also brought a burst of chickens and dogs jumping.
However, although the movement is large, the harvest is not much.
Although two or three seemingly secretive strongholds have been discovered, both Dean and Mott can see that these are just small organizations, or simply outlying strongholds of some organizations.
"Be taken down by these people and ask well!"
Mott did not give up, he glanced at the people who had been caught in these secret strongholds, and commanded directly, although he knew that there would be no valuable clues in the mouths of these people; The unrelenting resistance of these people in the face of the guards is enough to illustrate a qiē; However, it is also the reason why they survived.
"Let's go, Lord Count, it's still waiting for us!"
Mott, who had found nothing, smiled bitterly and glanced at Dean who was helpless on the side.
Dean didn't answer, just nodded—he needed a proper expression of regret, and a silent response was obviously best.
Dean and Mott returned to the inner city of Hosh.
Although nothing was found, but the corpse of the 'torturer', for the Earl of Horsh. It's the best thing to do. Therefore. The county king, who was a good old man himself, began to reward Dean in a big way.
Of course, because Dean was attacked before, there is also a hint of compensation in this reward.
So, it's very rich.
A valuable magical item!
【Ring of Tenacity】
【Type: Ring】
[Weight: 4g]
[Size: Normal human category]
[Special Effect: Determined]
[Strong-willed: Gives the wearer a +0.5 will bonus]
[Description: This is the ring worn by a wizard against a psychic warlock, except that he underestimated his opponent a little!] 】
[Note: This is a nice ring.] However, in addition to the tenacity, you still need a clear mind to judge and choose your opponent! 】
+0.5 will alone, at least tens of thousands of Kimpton attributes.
And with the [Dragon Sword Technique. Indomitable] Dean, this attribute, will obviously increase even more.
Therefore, after receiving this [Ring of Tenacity], Dean expressed his sincerest greetings to Earl Horsh.
As for the prevarication?
Let's not say that Dean wouldn't do this kind of hypocrisy that he clearly wants, but pretends to be noble.
Alone. The etiquette between the nobles made Dean unable to excuse himself.
Unless. He wanted to befriend the king of the county.
After Dean accepted the ring, the body of the 'Torturer' was carried out of the room, and after Mott confirmed it again, Earl Hosh finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The smile on his face grew even more.
However, the next piece of news made the smile on the count's face freeze.
"Lord Earl, the head of the regiment has been assassinated!"
The captain of the first team of the Lion Mercenary Group, Kesde, said with a sad face.
"What?"
Count Horsh's body shook a little, and Mott on the side hurriedly helped him.
"What's going on?"
Count Horsh, who was standing firmly, asked in a hurried tone.
"I, I don't know, I just went to see the head of the group's injuries, but when I opened the door, I found that the head of the group had died in his room!"
This rough man said everything he knew.
However, this obviously did not satisfy the Earl of Holsh.
The county king quickly gasped for two breaths, and ordered directly to Mott beside him: "Help me go and see the scene, I want to know what is going on!" ”
"Yes, Lord Count!"
Mott nodded, turned and walked out.
Dean didn't come out and say anything.
He was an outsider after all, and if he was too enthusiastic at this time, it would only surprise people.
Therefore, it was only a matter of inviting the Earl of Hosh to their temporary residence and quietly awaiting news.
And Kesde, the first captain of the Lion Mercenary Regiment, also did not leave, and he seemed a little distracted without the leader, just following behind Earl Hosh.
And on the premise that Count Hosh didn't say anything.
The people around them let it go.
However, when this rough man looked at the corpse of the 'torturer', he let out a low exclamation.
"Someone else has been assassinated here?"
The rough man asked subconsciously.
"Well, I met this guy in the room!"
Dean nodded and replied.
"You, Lord Zelgaon?"
The rough man was stunned for a moment, and then, almost subconsciously, said: "You and our regiment commander encountered an assassination together?" ”
As soon as such words came out, the swordsman of Count Hosh and the Grand Duke were stunned.
"Could it be that after the 'Torturer' assassinated him and was killed by Dean, that companion of his was looking for revenge?" The Grand Duke's swordsman frowned, and then looked at Count Hosh, whose face was a little ugly in an instant, and continued to ask, "Lord Earl, have you asked your family to go here?" After all, the current situation ......"
"Okay, okay!"
Without waiting for the Grand Duke Swordsman to finish speaking, Count Hosh nodded repeatedly.
Dean, on the other hand, looked at Yiqiē calmly from beginning to end.
After all, isn't that the effect he needs?
