213. All the best
Sean was a little dazed.
He stared blankly at a codex in front of him.
This is a white codex, the cover is painted with some ornaments similar to patterns, the overall thickness is only one or two centimeters, if it is unfolded, I am afraid it will not have this thickness, but at the moment it is tied with a red silk satin knot and a fire paint stamp, which means that this codex has been officially sealed.
This codex is what he brought out from Hastings Manor today, and it is also what he has been most eager to get his hands on during this time.
Tranda's territorial deed instrument.
Before that, Sean had fantasized about the countless possibilities and how hard it would be to get his hands on this thing. He even discussed with William and Neil, and if he really didn't work, he was ready to disguise himself as bandits and bandits to attack, and of course, it was indispensable for the strong men with high-end combat power to invade.
Just for all kinds of backup plans, Sean has prepared as many as four or five copies.
But in fact, this territorial deed document was simply thrown by Soma to Domingo. On the table in Hasting's bedroom. And this room is not allowed to be entered at all, except for the routine cleaning once a month, and there is not even a guard outside the door.
At noon that day, after lunch at the Hasting Manor, Yeres took Sean to visit the main building of the manor, which was actually where the descendants of the Hasteen family could live. However, because of Yeles's special status, Soma also arranged a room for him in the main building, in a certain name, Sean was not allowed to enter the main building to visit, but his housekeeper considered that it was Sean who Yeles took the initiative to invite, so he did not stop him.
Afterwards?
When Sean came out of the main building, the Panda Territory's territorial deed document had been hidden in the storage space by Sean and brought it out.
By this time, he had returned from Hastings Manor to Binks' private room.
But Sean's face was still a little dizzy.
It's as simple as that?
So haven't all the efforts he has made in the last few days been in vain? If you had known that the road would have been so easy to get. Sean doesn't need to come here in person, why don't you just entrust someone from the Thieves Guild to do it? And Elekate said things so complicated before, which made Sean really worry for a long time.
"I think, can we go back?" Alfred also found it a little incredible, and the sudden success of things made it feel like a conspiracy.
"Not yet." Sean shook his head, "To do a show, you have to do a full set, and if we leave now, it will hurt Yeles." ”
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.
Anno got up and went to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Ellie Kate.
At this time, he also had a look of disbelief on his face: "You mean you've done it all?" ”
Sean nodded, gesturing to the white codex on the table in the room.
This room was originally a single room. Usually even if it is only Sean, it seems relatively narrow, not to mention that there are two burly guys in the room at the moment, Anno and Alfred. So when Elekate also entered the room, there was almost no room for movement in the whole room, and even walking became a difficult thing.
Seeing this, Alfred greeted Sean. So he took Anno out of the room, and suddenly the room became empty again.
At least. Delusionally, so.
Sean didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Elekate, the look of doubt on his face that had not completely subsided.
Truth be told, what would have been complicated and cumbersome suddenly becomes incredibly easy and easy to get to the bottom of it, which can give people a subtle sense of self-denial, and of course, the illusion of conspiracy.
"Could this be a conspiracy?" Elekate asked, "Things." It's unbelievably smooth. ”
Sean has prepared countless plans, and Elekate is equally unequivocal.
According to his plan, Sean appeared as a nobleman at the beginning, and then came into contact with Master Rhoda. After that, he dealt with the wealthy merchants of Lominen City, stole an invitation letter from them, and finally stole the territorial deed documents during a dinner party at Hastings Manor. Although the whole plan is not seamless, at least the feasibility is very high, and there are no obvious flaws.
And at the beginning, according to Elekate's plan, things did go well.
As a result, neither Elekate nor the Thieves' Guild found out that Master Rhoda had a drawing in his hand that had aroused the extreme attention of all parties. It is precisely because of this that Baron Yeros's accident caused by the accident, which caused Sean to be forced to talk to Soma in advance. Hasteen meets.
Almost everything changed after this incident.
It's just that when Elekate also suspected that it was a conspiracy, Sean finally came to his senses.
"No, it won't." Sean shook his head, not so much that he believed in Yelles, but that he believed in the Haytham Institute, a gathering place for madmen.
The Temple of Wisdom has never been a place to produce strong people, but it has been able to stand for so many years thanks to the existence of the Haytham Institute. Basically, no matter which side is powerful, it will have something to do with this existence to a greater or lesser extent, and for the people of the Haytham Institute, they have no eternal enemies - even if they temporarily become enemies this time because of some purpose, but if there is a chance to cooperate next time, they will definitely be the one who can release their previous suspicions as soon as possible.
And for such a place, although there are many factions inside, its unity and secrecy are not weak, and it can even be said that it is even more than that. Therefore, after Sean understands the true value of the thinker, he will choose to trust Yeles unconditionally, and only in this way can it be justified that Yeles will be so convinced of himself and support himself unconditionally.
Elekate didn't understand these reasons, but seeing that Sean said it so confidently, he didn't ask anything more.
"When will this document be processed?" Sean asked.
The territorial contract document does not mean that everything will be fine if you steal it, and you also need to carry out a means similar to "transfer".
But in fact, this method is actually just a process, and most people don't take it very seriously. But in Sean's case, it was different, because he had to forge the document and it had actually fallen into their hands from the beginning, so not only the name of the holder of the contract document had to be changed, but also the seal of the family crest, the brand of fire paint, and so on.
Elekate is a master in this regard, so naturally he is responsible for everything.
Sean asks when Elekite will be able to complete the job.
"It's going to take a little time." Elekate had already cut the paint open with a paper cutter, and then unfolded the contract document thoroughly.
As Shaun expected, there were only three pieces of paper in this codex, one about the origin of Panda's territory and the size of the territory, and one was a certificate written by the original owner, proving that the territory now belonged to Domingo. Hasting's, as for the last one, is the signature of the Witness to ensure fairness, and it is also printed with the family crest belonging to the Witness. Other than that, there was nothing else in the Codex.
What needs to be replaced is actually the last two certificates.
In this regard, Sean and Asuna have already discussed. Because it was obtained from Asuna, the original owner was Asuna, and the new territory holder was Sean; On the Witness side, Elizabeth and Simi have the status of Earl of the Duchy of Lane, while the latter can be represented by the Wizard's Academy, which is also extremely heavy.
These two certificates have already been prepared, so at this time they are only replaced and framed, and the technical content is not very large. What really needs to be wasted is to make the material of this territorial contract document "old", at least to make people feel that it is some years at a glance, and not just obtained, which is why Elekate said that it is a waste of time.
In addition, because of the change in the plan, in order not to affect Yeles, Sean and the others had to take another risk.
Elikite will carry out a forgery on this deed document, which is a high-quality imitation territorial deed document that can be seen with flaws and forgery traces as long as it is carefully examined, but there are also some real things in it, that is, the two replaced certificates and the signature of the witness. This is a forged contract document, and Sean must find a way to put it back in Domingo. In Hasting's bedroom, only in this way will it not affect Yeles.
All the planning is thorough and careful.
The only flaw is probably Sean's presence here. But luckily, Elekate is a master of disguise, so this only flaw is actually quite difficult to expose - at least, as long as Elektate doesn't betray Sean, then there won't be a problem. But if you think about it, if Elekate really wanted to betray Sean, he wouldn't have done so much work, and he only had to ask Soma. Hastings just said it.
"That forged document must be produced before the dinner at Hastings Manor." Sean opened his mouth to remind, "That day is the best time to put the paperwork back. ”
"I know it." Elekate nodded seriously, "Five days is more than enough." …… However, because this document of yours needs to be forged, it will take a little longer, it may take three to four days, only then can I guarantee the quality, otherwise it will be easy for people to see through. ”
"Then I'll leave everything to you." (To be continued......)
