Chapter 539: Confrontation I.
In the dark, Arionde, wearing a cloak and holding his hood down, appeared in front of Prince Eddie's mansion.
"Stop!"
Before he could really get closer, he was stopped by a group of guards.
Since the riots, the vigilance of the entire Gaosai royal capital has more than doubled, especially the palaces of the royal family and nobles, and there are more open positions and secret whistles.
When Arriande entered the street, he found at least two sentry posts.
In such a situation, if it was still in the 'Brotherhood', Arriande would definitely give up immediately and look for a higher-level assassin to come.
Now, though......
Arriande's body stood straight, and under his hood, shadow-shrouded features loomed in the light of the guard's torches.
"I want to see His Highness Eddie!"
Arriande said.
However, the head of the guard did not buy it, and the prince of a country did not say that he could see it when he saw it, and he was ready to shout at once.
However, before the words reached his lips, a token appeared in Arionde's hand.
Token of the royal family!
More precisely, the token of the princess of the high race!
The leader of the guards looked at this token, and the whole person was stunned, he didn't know why the person holding the token of the princess of Gao Sai came to the prince's mansion in the middle of the night.
After all, according to the current situation, the two sides are friends and enemies.
With such a thought in his heart, the leader of the guards did not slack off.
"Wait a minute!"
With that, the leader of the guards ran towards the mansion.
Whatever the reason for the other party's presence here, it was not something that a small leader of his could solve. Naturally, it's going to be handed over to those big shots!
A moment later. A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked out.
He saluted Arriande. After receiving the token and confirming that it was correct, he walked into the prince's mansion with Arriande.
In front of the study-
"Your Highness is inside!"
The middle-aged butler said this, and opened the door for Arriande, closing it again after Arriande entered.
Arionde, who entered the room, looked around.
Easily perceived a few vague breaths.
It's intermittent and hard to detect.
Arriande doesn't care about this - Prince Eddie meets a man who holds the token of the King of Gosai. That's a strange thing if you don't do some preparation.
Arriande's gaze looked at Prince Add, who was standing in front of him, and he took off his hood, revealing an ordinary face.
"Your Royal Highness!"
Arriand saluted.
"You're holding Vivien's token...... However, Vivien doesn't have you by her side, right? ”
Prince Eddie didn't start talking, but looked at Arriande carefully for a long time, and only after confirming in his mind that there was no such person beside the princess of Gosai did he ask.
"Of course, there is no such person as me by His Royal Highness Vivian's side...... If I had, I wouldn't be here – I hope to be able to make a deal with you! ”
Arriande said with a respectful, humble smile.
Listen to Arriande's words. Prince Eddie immediately lost interest in the conversation, originally thinking that the female subordinate of the King of Gosai had come to join him. Now that it is confirmed that it is not, Ariander immediately became an insignificant person in Prince Eddie's heart, especially when the other party followed closely, which made Prince Eddie quite angry.
Because this sentence seemed to remind him how bad his situation was.
However, Ariande's last words made Prince Eddie suppress his anger.
"What deal?"
Prince Eddie asked.
"A deal that could ruin Her Highness Vivien's reputation - Her Highness Vivien has a relationship with the Cult, you should know, right?"
Arriande deliberately kept his voice down.
"Do you have proof?"
Prince Eddie raised his eyebrows, he knew that this niece of his had something to do with the Divine Cult.
I also wanted to rely on this to regain the current disadvantage.
It's just that he doesn't have conclusive evidence!
"Record Crystal! A record crystal that records the relationship between Her Highness Vivien and the Cult...... By Her Royal Highness Vivien's own admission! ”
Arriande laughed, he said.
"Really?!"
Prince Eddie was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step forward excitedly, wanting to catch Arriande and ask for clarification.
However, Arriande retreated without a trace, and his arm easily got rid of Prince Eddie's palm, and then said very sincerely: "Of course it's true, you see, my presence here is the greatest sincerity!" ”
"What do you want?"
Prince Eddie, who was excited because he suddenly heard the evidence of the reversal of the disadvantage, although he was far inferior to the other prince Findel, but as the prince of Gosai, some of the habits of the superior still had - when Arriande easily got rid of his palm, he had already calmed down, and at this time, the whole person was even calmer, he looked at Arriande, and asked directly.
"Gems equivalent to 10,000 Kimpton!"
Arriande spoke.
"Yes!"
Prince Eddie frowned, then agreed, and then asked, "What about the record crystal?" ”
"You see, I am a greedy person who is afraid of death, how can I wear such a precious thing on my body? Of course, I'm not saying you're discredited, but it's my rule of thumb - tomorrow morning, at the Civilian Quarter Mouse Bar, you let your men go with the gems, and I'll send someone to pass the record crystal to your people...... It can only be one person, and there can only be one person around, and if I find someone else, I will cancel the transaction! ”
Arriande said with a smile.
"As you wish!"
Prince Eddie did not refuse.
In other words, he couldn't find a reason to refuse, even though there was a lot of dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, but in the face of the evidence to turn the situation around, he chose to endure.
"Then, tomorrow at noon, the people who are waiting for you are here!"
Arriande said so. Turned and left Prince Eddie's mansion.
And did not return directly to the military port. Instead, he walked around many laps in the entire Gao Sai King Capital. Then, it disappeared into the civilian area.
"Lost it!"
A princely guard stood in the civilian area with a frown.
"Go back and report to Your Highness!"
Another princely guard said.
The two figures quickly disappeared into the civilian area, and in the shadows, Dean watched the scene.
Arriande, on the other hand, stood behind Dean and remained respectful.
"The biggest fish bites...... Arriande did a great job! ”
Dean complimented softly.
"This is what I should do!"
Arriande replied respectfully.
Ariander, who had no pride or bow, and maintained a respectful posture, had a calm face, just as he had seen Dean for the first time.
Undoubtedly, in the hearts of the other party. The qiē he did was all in exchange for his own adult: Jiadis.
"You did what you should do, and I will do what I should do!"
Dean gave Arriander a promise.
For someone like Arionde, Dean knows exactly how to use it.
However, he doesn't intend to use Jiadis as a threat all the time to let the other party serve him, even if the other party is very good and his strength is not bad.
Of course, it wasn't Dean who sympathized with the Assassin who had a similar experience to him.
Sympathize. It is the biggest luxury item.
Dean doesn't have that right yet.
He just had a new plan, which could also be said to be a supplement to the original plan. After Arriander showed up and brought some news, the plan was ready to be put into full action.
"Thank you for what you have done!"
Arriande bowed and quickly disappeared from the shadows.
His mission is not yet complete, and he must speed up.
And after Arriande disappeared, Dean quickly disappeared from the shadows, just as Arriande had his own mission, Dean also had his own mission.
When Dean brought up some 'damned people', the Lady of Gossai spent about two hours giving Dean a list.
There are hundreds of names on it.
And Dean selectively singled out a few of them.
And these people all have one thing in common -
First, they were all involved in the riots that night.
Second, they all have considerable strength, at least knights to start.
Thirdly, they were all protected by the aristocracy.
In fact, most of the remaining people on that list are those nobles.
However, for the sake of future plans, Dean let these nobles go for the time being!
Otherwise, these nobles are Dean's best targets.
With family heirlooms, secret arts, and sufficient resources, the strength of these nobles is not weak.
In other words, these nobles are able to provide Dean with a considerable amount of XP.
Far more than the ones Dean has picked out right now.
But even the targets that Dean has chosen right now are enough for Dean at this moment!
"Mahik?"
Dean whispered the name of the Privy Council of the Cult, and then when a night breeze blew, Dean disappeared into the shadows.
Only the quiet and unchanging shadow remained, and in the night, it became deeper and quieter.
……
"Your Highness, the envoy of the Divine Sect will arrive at the military port at noon tomorrow!"
The chief guard of the Grand Duke, who had received the notice from the princess of Gao Sai, told the Grand Duke of Jade, and then, after hesitating for a moment, the chief guard said slowly under the gaze of the Grand Duke of Jade: "Your Highness Vivian, I hope you can uphold justice!" ”
"It's incumbent!"
The Emerald Grand Duke replied.
"But, but, the relationship between our Jade and the Divine Cult is already very tense, if there is a conflict with the Divine Cult because of this incident......
The Grand Duke said worriedly.
Although reckless, this chief guard is definitely not stupid.
She is very aware of the current situation of Jade: the royal family is weak, the nobles are strong, and the Divine Cult is involved in it, if the Divine Cult is completely evil, even if the royal family still has the support of the Jade Grand Duke, it will definitely be difficult, after all, for their respective territories, it is completely up to the nobles to have the final say.
Government Decrees, Taxes, ......
It's just a matter of moving the whole body!
"Justice is like a scale, on which conscience and interest are placed...... I want me to be on the side of conscience! ”
Grand Duke Jade said softly, while her palm rested on her sword.
The name of that sword is: [Scales]!
