It was still in the private room at the end of the corridor on the left, but this time it was only Alfred, Anno, Sean, and Elitate who were meeting with them, and Shephaneo and Rena were not here.

In fact, after Sean's contact with the old man last night, whether Sean wants it or not, he has officially entered the eyes of the vast majority of Lominen's residents. Even, behind the two groups of people who showed different attitudes towards the old man last night, they must have known about the existence of such a number one person as Sean. The group of guys who just want to keep the old man safe is okay, and the other group of people still let Alfred protect the old man after they made it clear that they were hostile to the old man, so this is a way to offend people.

At this moment, seeing that Elikate's face was so serious, the atmosphere in the private room became a little gloomy.

Sean frowned, he was probably aware of what Erikate was trying to say.

"Did you ever have a conflict with someone last night?" Elekate asked straight to the point, "I mean, after coming into contact with that Master Rhoda. ”

Master Rhoda is the old man that Sean is trying to get close to.

Sean turned his head to look at Alfred, and when Elikate saw Sean's move, he immediately understood what was going on, so he also turned his head to look at Alfred, but unlike Sean's casual attitude, Elekate's attitude obviously became a little more serious - at least in Elekate's cognition, Alfred's terrifying degree is far above Sean, and at present, in the list of nobles in the kingdom of Dabiang, the number one dangerous person is still Alfred, followed by William. Yale, and as the direct superior of these two men, Sean. Connery was third.

Under such influence, Elli Kate was in the face of Alfred. Naturally, the attitude is to be a little more respectful.

"Nope." Alfred shook his head very dryly, "After I sent the old man home, it was about ten o'clock, and it was opened by one of the old man's apprentices, and when the other party learned that I was a knight of the family of a viscount, he warmly invited me to come in and take a rest and drink a cup of hot cocoa before leaving, but I refused." …… When I got back to the tavern, it was not yet eleven o'clock, and Anno was there. ”

"Yes." Anno nodded. "I just finished eating ...... that time"

"Wait, you eat from half-past nine until eleven?" Sean interrupted Anno.

"yes." Anno took it for granted, "Didn't you say that if I didn't have enough to eat, I could go downstairs and continue eating?" ”

Sean glanced at Anno's belly. He wondered why this place hadn't been broken yet.

"Ahem." Seeing Sean, Anno, and Alfred's expressions, Elekate had to cough lightly to remind the three of them of their environment at the moment. "If none of you have ever had a conflict with anyone. Then it's a little tricky. ”

"What's going on?" Sean's brow furrowed.

"Several adventurers hired by Baron Yeros died last night on Pinecone Street." Elekate spoke, "All five of them died in a similar way, and upon examination, it has been determined that they were killed by weapons similar to boxing and heavy weapons. ”

When Sean heard the first sentence, he instinctively wanted to ask Shephaneo, because in addition to Alfred, Shefanio was also with him last night. The two men complemented each other in order to prevent the possibility of something that Alfred could not cope with. But after hearing the second half of Elekate's sentence, Sean felt the need to ask Shephaneo, because if she made a move. Then the other party is likely to turn directly into an ice sculpture, or even a pile of broken ice.

Moreover, the strength of those adventurers is only at the bronze level, even if Xuefanio really knows how to make a move, it is impossible to bully such a person, and the two sides are not at the same level at all. Not to mention Shefanio, even Alfred and Anno would not act like a person in the Bronze Realm if they didn't have to, because this would be a very cheap thing at all - of course, the most important thing is that there is no benefit.

"I thought there would only be two groups of people eyeing that old man, but I didn't expect that there would be a third group lurking in the shadows." Sean sneered, "Those who are killed by weapons such as heavy weapons do not have obvious sharp scars on their bodies, as if they were killed by weapons such as axes and spears?" ”

"Yes." Elekate nodded.

But soon, he also reacted immediately: "I was framed!" ”

There is no doubt that there are definitely more than two groups of people eyeing the old man, and the group of people who shot last night must have left the tavern after Sean and Anno returned to the second floor, otherwise Sean would never have found out. And judging from the details of the other party's shot, it is obvious that the other party has a certain degree of understanding of Sean and the others, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a clever arrangement - after all, Alfred had the fangs of the flame lion on his back before last night.

Even if the fangs of the flame lion did not open those white strips of cloth, it can still be judged from the outline that this is definitely a long-handled heavy weapon, and there are not many weapons that can become long-handled heavy weapons. In addition, Alfred also said that he was very confident in his boxing skills last night, and Alfred did not hold a weapon last night, so judging from this point, Sean can probably guess that the other party must have a character similar to a thief, and only such a person can overhear Alfred's confident words last night, so those who are hostile to the old man will die of boxing.

"What is there about that old man that deserves so many people to keep an eye on him at the same time?" Sean asked.

"I don't know about that." Elekate shook her head, "But the only thing that is clear is that Master Rhoda has obtained a mysterious drawing, which has nothing to do with architecture and design, but it is said that if it can be successfully made, it will definitely cause a sensation." ”

"Who said that?" Sean asked.

"Uh, an appraiser from the Mage Lominen's Guild ward." Elekate is obviously relatively well-informed about the gossip in this regard. "But this appraiser is a man who can't hide secrets. Originally, the Venerable Lord's ward had been secretly negotiating with Master Rhoda, and when he saw that the matter was about to be settled, the appraiser was drunk and told a wealthy merchant about it in the saloon, and the rich merchant brought it up to several other honorary nobles as a talking point, and as a result, these people began to try to take the mysterious drawing for themselves......"

"Needless to say later, it must have been the negotiation between the Luo Mingen branch of the Mage Guild and the old man."

"Yes." Elikay nodded, "Even if Master Rhoda is a respectable person, he has to think carefully about his position, after all, the people who want his mysterious drawings are nobles, and maybe they can't compete with the people of the Mage Guild." But if it really makes a fuss, it will be Master Roda who is unlucky, so if the Master Luo Mingen ward does not promise to protect it, the master will not hand over this drawing. ”

"So does this conflict with our plan to change?" Sean asked, "I'm not going to get involved in the battle for this drawing. It's their business how they like to fight, all I want is the blueprint for the Hastings Manor. ”

"It matters." Elekate said with a serious face. "The crux of the matter lies with Baron Yeros."

"What's wrong with this baron?" Sean was a little confused. "Isn't it just an honorary baron for life?"

"It's hereditary." Elekate opened his mouth to correct Sean's words, "The Yeros family is a small family, but the current patriarch of the Hasteen family, Domingo. Hasting's second wife is the sister of the current patriarch of the Yeros family. …… In a sense, the Yeros family can be regarded as the watchdog of the Hasteen family, most of the time when it is inconvenient for the Hasteen family to come forward. It's all up to the Yeros family to come forward, you know, this is the unspoken rule in the aristocratic circle. ”

"A fig leaf." Sean sneered, "So. That mysterious blueprint is actually what the Hastings want? …… I said that I obviously want this drawing, but there is a group of people who are full of strong hostility towards the old man, under normal circumstances, it should not be a roundabout way to contact the old man, and then find a way to start after gaining his favor, it turns out that there is a big man behind him, no wonder he dares to be so unscrupulous. ”

"It's not impossible for you to understand it that way, anyway, it's actually similar to this situation." Elikay nodded, "So the death of those adventurers is not a loss for the Yeros family, but it will completely expose you all, and it may even be hostile to the Hasteen family because of this, so that other people who are interested in that drawing can do it more conveniently." ”

"It's a good idea, and it's not easy for a guy to come up with it. After all, as an alien honorary nobleman, I really don't have any foundation here in Luo Mingen, offending Yeros is equivalent to offending Hestin at the same time, and as Hesting's status as a land snake, he will definitely attack us for Liwei, so that when the Hestin family focuses on us, the other party will definitely be able to easily obtain that drawing. …… I don't believe that since the other party can arrange such a perfect trap, there will be no other backhand. ”

"So, we have to revise our plans."

"There really needs to be some modifications and adjustments." Sean pursed his lips disdainfully, "Hmph, arrange a meeting with the Hasteen family for me." ”

"What?" Elekate was dumbfounded.

"Hmph, this guy's methods are very naïve compared to Neil and William." Sean's face was even more sarcastic, in fact, compared to Neil's ability to plan to make the churches of the whole continent gather in Void City for a time, and even provoke the hostility of the church and the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance, this is indeed not something that ordinary people can do, so like this obvious framing, even if the Hastings family can see it at a glance, they will pretend to be stupid.

But Sean will not act according to the other party's script, he decides to strike first and regain the initiative in his own hands.

Of course, this is also a good opportunity. (To be continued......)
