Chapter 928: Robbery (Page 1/1)

It's hard to imagine such a creepy desolate place in the bustling imperial capital, with hundreds of towering wooden stakes erected in the square, each of which hangs only a skeleton corpse. More than half a meter tall artemisia grass grows from the cracks in the stone slabs in the square, and a few fresh corpses that have not yet rotted can occasionally be seen in the artemisia grass, which is obviously a good place to kill people and sell goods.

"Haven't you heard the old saying, 'Uncle'?" said Jill with a wicked laugh as he jumped out of the carriage, "and no wise man lives. ”

"I've heard of it. I don't think I'm going to die here, though. In Jill's eyes, Alfie was just pretending to be calm at this time.

"That's not up to you!" said Jill with a grim step.

"Difficult, do you dare to kill a priest of the Holy See in the Imperial Capital, aren't you afraid that the Holy See will trouble you?" Alfie asked in a bit of a panic.

"Holy See?" Gil laughed, "The current Holy See is no different from a lost dog, under the strong suppression of His Majesty the Emperor, they don't even have the courage to step out of the church, let alone stand out for an insignificant little priest!"

"Y-What do you want to do?" Alfie's voice began to tremble.

"Robbership, of course!" Jill looked at Alfie in surprise, with the intelligence he had shown before, he couldn't even guess it, right?

"But I—we don't have anything of value on us anymore!" Alfie argued, blushing.

"No money, don't be funny!" Jill pulled out the silver coin and shook it at Alfie, "Do you think I'll be fooled easily? ”

"Why?" asked Celent. In his opinion, there is nothing special about this silver coin.

"These newly minted silver coins will be supplied to the nobility first, and it will take at least three years for them to circulate to the people, and I can guarantee that this silver coin will definitely not take more than three months to be minted!" said Jill confidently, absolutely confident in his vision.

"You're not going to treat us as some aristocratic kids, are you?" said Alfie, who couldn't help but admire Jill's brains.

"So you admit it, but it's fine, it won't leave you alive!" Jill pulled out a swarthy dagger and gestured at the two of them.

"You dare to kill a nobleman in the imperial capital?" Alfie's face changed slightly when he saw the dagger, and he could tell that the dagger was coated with a layer of poison that sealed his throat with blood, which was why it took on that abnormal blackness.

"Hehe, who let you come to this forbidden land? The noble lord probably doesn't know, right? Kill you and throw your corpse in this forbidden land, no one will track it down at all, this is already the default rule of all forces in the imperial capital. Jill laughed, "If you want to complain, you have not been deeply involved in the world, and I brought you here!"

"Oh, won't you be pursued even if you kill people here?" asked Alfie, an eyebrow raised.

"It's too late to know. As he spoke, Jill swung his dagger and prepared to make a move on the two.

"Wait a minute. Alfie shouted, "Can you answer me a question before you start?"

"Do you want to call for help? Don't dream! No one will pass by here, and even if there are, they won't be nosy!" "Jill seemed to see through Alfie's trick at a glance.

"No, no, no, I really have a very important question. I won't be blind if I don't get an answer!" Alfie lowered her voice to show sincerity.

Jill's eyes glanced at the sun casually, but it was just past noon at the moment, he estimated the time, nodded and replied: "For the sake of your acquaintance, ask any questions quickly." ”

"My question is simple. Are you in the same group as that Jason?" Alfie suddenly smiled slightly, "You keep looking up at the sky, probably estimating the time when Jason arrived?"

After listening to Alfie's words, Jill's face changed drastically, and he didn't know where Alfie saw the flaw, and he guessed it correctly.

Jill shuddered, staring at Alfie as if he had seen a ghost, and was frightened, if Alfie had expected this and was willing to be brought here by him, wouldn't that mean that Alfie had a way to deal with it?

Thinking of this, Jill no longer cares about the "gentleman" agreement with Jason, and decides to preemptively kill this cunning bard first.

As soon as the thought of killing people started, Jill was shocked to find that he had lost control of his body, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison, and his whole body was paralyzed.

"Let me guess, I'm afraid you're not only with Jason, but also with Fett, the gate guard, right?" Alfie knew that the paralyzing potion had taken effect when she saw Jill's expression. Although it is not a powerful paralyzing potion that is effective even for the powerhouses of the Sanctuary, the ordinary paralyzing potion from the hands of Master Madison, the pharmacist of the Sanctuary, is enough to incapacitate Jill.

Alfie received the answer from Jill's horrified gaze, and continued, "Fett became greedy after receiving the four newly minted silver coins I handed in, so he arranged for you and Jason to rob us. You and Jason argued in front of us before, probably to dispel our suspicions, right?"

Alfie was satisfied with admiring the gray expression of Jill on the first line, and knew that she had guessed correctly: "It's ridiculous that you have been telling me many secret things as gossip for fear of me being suspicious along the way, but I don't know that it is precisely this that reveals the flaws!"

"Elfie, how did you do that?" asked Celrant softly. At least he didn't hear anything wrong with Jill's words.

"Quite simply, the information about the Duchy of Bavaria and the mechanical creations is not known to a coachman, and even the reason why His Majesty the Emperor hanged all the energy suppliers is a secret that ordinary people can never know. Alfie glanced at Jill, "So the true identity of this Mr. Gil is probably not as simple as a coachman." ”

"And who is he?" Celent admired Alfi so much that he didn't expect Alfie to even guess this.

"Probably the gate guards too?" Alfie said tentatively, confirming her guess from Jill's drastic change in face.

"The gate guards are robbing?" asked Celent, surprised, feeling that his brain was running out of ideas.

"That's right. I'm sure they're doing a lot of it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so skilled, and so sure no one would be held accountable. Alfie casually pointed to the fresh corpse not far away, "I'm afraid those people have their hands." ”
