Chapter 489: Bloody Earl
"Just by that, your identity is revealed. I'm afraid Killer Whale Harbor won't be able to stay any longer. Wake sighed.
Taylor smiled and said, "After so many years of business, I expected such a day." So several other identities have been prepared, and Orca Harbor can't stay. The empire is so big, and where can it go. ”
"No matter what, you've sacrificed most of your family business after all."
"Elder Waifu said this, how can I do this business if it is not funded by the Naga clan. What's more, if it weren't for the Naga, I would have died at the hands of pirates, or in the belly of a fish. ”
Waiff said no more and told Taylor to go down and rest.
At this moment, the castle is also lit up in the "Scarlet Twilight", which is not famous for its elegance. The castle is full of spires, battlements of arrows, eerie shooting fortresses, spikes for some reason for decoration or defense, and circles of crimson bloodstone embedded in the deep black walls, all of which decorate the fortress with a synonym of terror.
From the night, the entire Blood Castle looked like a demon's huge head, and the two terraces above the castle were the demon's eyes. Especially when the lights come on in the hall they are connected to, they are like demonic eyes flickering with hellfire. At the moment, the hall connected by the two terraces is lit, it is a hall with dark tones, the hall is hardly decorated, and you can see the bare cornerstones, with a primitive flavor.
On both sides of the wall and in the middle of the hall are strange candlesticks shaped into palms, on which white candles flicker, and nearly two hundred candles illuminate the hall. Under the wall in the middle of the hall, a dark reddish armor is placed on each side, and in the center is a large portrait. The portrait depicts a handsome man, dressed in earl ornaments. The artist's skill is very exquisite, making the characters in the painting extremely expressive. The smile that seemed to be on his lips had a hint of coldness. And then there's the eyes, if someone looks closely at the eyes of the people in the painting, they'll see that a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood are reflected in those eyes.
This is Eric, or rather, Eric in his youth. After all, this portrait has been placed here for 20 years.
On the main seat of the hall, someone was leaning on a dark red flannel backrest, with one hand on his chin, and was staring at the two people below. To be able to sit in this position, only Eric in the entire Blood Castle is qualified to sit here. Eric's portrait of himself as a young man has aged a lot, and the years have carved deep marks on his face, and the handsomeness of his youth has now precipitated into a kind of majesty. Only those eyes are still the same, and there seems to be a blood mist surging in the corners of those eyes, and looking through those eyes, it is not difficult to find that this man is engraved with the words cruel and ruthless from his bones.
"Well, then, you're going to sue me. You nocturnal ghosts have five killers, and with the two of you, you can't take down Taylor, who is only protected by one dragon knight? Eric said softly, his voice tinged with a hint of majesty. Judging only by the voice, it will make people feel that this is a high-powered, majestic and decent person.
"I'm sorry, Lord Count, we screwed up." It was the petite woman who was fighting with the Canglong Knight on the carriage who spoke, and she bowed her head and said, "But if it weren't for the two people who came out halfway, it would have been very smooth." ”
"Which two?"
"A man and a woman, my lord. But they were fresh faces, probably not long after they arrived in Orca Harbor. ”
"It's really funny that I broke my business just after I arrived in Orca Harbor."
"What's even more interesting is that the steel cannon found that there were some people chasing them for most of the night."
"Oh? Who is it? ”
The big man who was repelled by Belmode looked up and said, "A guy named Decker, it seems that those two had some conflict with Deke during the day. Oh, this one is, and it's a captain of your Blood Shark Chamber. ”
"Very well, it seems that you have made some preparations. But it seems that I am not well prepared, or that guy named Dekker would have to be here to be questioned by me, am I right? ”
The woman and the big man looked at each other and bowed their heads.
Suddenly, the breeze was light, and the steel cannon somehow flew sideways and hit the wall before crashing back. Fell to the ground and spat blood with a whoa. Eric didn't look at the big man as if he was fine, he reached out and pulled the woman's hair, then lowered his head, and only then did Eric say, "Youlian, tomorrow morning." I'm going to see that here, and all the people who have been in contact with those two guys have been brought to me. I want to know the identities of those two, since they are related to the Naga, their identities must be unusual. ”
"If you can't do it......" the Count reached out and took the woman's left chest. With a slight pinch, the armor that protected her chest peeled off, and the woman named Youlian showed a painful expression, but she didn't dare to scream out loud, so she could only nod her head again and again.
Eric let go of her, kicked her in the chest, and kicked her out. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Get out." ”
Steel Cannon hurriedly ran over to help Youlian up, and the two left without saying a word. Eric sat back in his chair, reached out and flicked his fingers on the armrest next to him, and said into the empty hall, "Haven't you heard from that kid Carlo?" ”
Two white arms leaned out from behind the seats, apparently women's hands, which landed on Eric's shoulders and then to his cheeks. The fingers painted with dark red armor gently flicked the count's face, and the candle flame flickered, and in the firelight, a woman crept behind the count. Her skin was sickly pale, but she deliberately wore her eyeshadow very thickly, and her lips were painted bright vermilion. She lowered her head and said to Eric, "The news we heard, apart from the young master's encounter with the Naga royal family, only found out that the last place he arrived at was Ark Harbor. ”
"Ark Harbor? Oh, is it that wretched territory called the Count's Shame, called Oban? What does Carlo do there? ”
The bewitching woman behind her whispered, "It seems to have something to do with the person who freed the Naga people on Pearl Island." We, Snake Queen, have already checked, and the man's name is Alan, a little baron, who has just joined Oban. ”
"A little baron?" A faint smile appeared on Eric's face, "Am I old, Marlene?" Now a little baron can meddle in my business, and Oban accepts him. Very well, it looks like I'll have to get a chance to talk to the Count. ”
"Are you going to find Master Caro yourself?"
Eric shook his head: "Now I don't have that skill, and that guy Taylor actually bought Josh and exchanged it for the real one with a fake book." Although I still found out, I couldn't stop him in the first place. Now that the book is in the hands of the Naga, the xenos can take it and give it to the royal family, so that Lord Masson will be rebuked. And if Lord Masson is unhappy, I don't want to be happy. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Eric said lightly, "Keeping them in Orca Harbor, of course." ”
The woman behind the chair was startled and said, "It's okay to kill Taylor, but his mansion can hide His Highness Naga and several elders." If we kill them, we will attract the interference of the royal family. ”
"As long as we do our hands and feet cleanly, we can excuse ourselves afterwards. And if His Highness Naga dies here, it will be easier for Lord Masson's big business. At that time, although the royal family will not let me go lightly, but with Lord Marson maneuvering around, it will not be a big deal. The important thing is that I can build a relationship with the four princes of the empire, which will be beneficial to our future development. ”
When Marlene heard him say this, she had to nod and say, "Then I'll let people prepare, but that Your Highness, my subordinates probably haven't been able to threaten her people." ”
"It's okay, I'll greet her personally."
"You want to do it?" Marlene frowned, but said helplessly: "Also, except for you, no one can match Her Royal Highness the princess at all." ”
"Alright, you go and prepare. Be quick, and do it tomorrow night at the latest. ”
By the next day, several wagons drove into the Blood Castle. The carriage opened, and some people were driven down from inside. Among them were, Balin, and the bartender who had been in contact with Belmode. With the exception of Bahrain, the others looked nervous. The steel cannon walked over and waved his big hand: "Take them in, the hall of your blood's fangs is waiting for them." ”
A group of soldiers raised their fires. Guns, pushing people forward against their backs.
In the hall, Eric still sat in his seat, as if he hadn't left the night before. With his chin in one hand, his gaze coldly swept over the crowd in the hall and finally landed on Bahrain. Eric spoke, "Old Balin, you're there too. ”
Balin immediately walked out and saluted the Count: "Good morning, Dear Count Eric. ”
"I'm not in a good mood at all, old Balin, you should know why you're here?"
"Well, I've heard, you're looking into a couple?"
"Yes, it looks like you've been in contact with them. Say, what did you say to them? ”
The Bahrain priest's face was a little ugly, so he had to go through the details of yesterday's conversation with Belmode, and then said, "Please forgive me, Lord Count. I didn't know they were going to spoil you, and if I did, I would have told the guards to arrest them all. ”
"Old Balin, I said it earlier, if you don't take care of your mouth. Something will happen someday, and it seems that my words have been verified today. So, how much did he pay you? ”
The priest held up a finger in a slurp: "A hundred gold coins." ”
"A hundred gold coins?" Eric smiled and said, "A hundred gold coins will let you say all the things that you shouldn't say, come on, give old Balin a thousand gold coins." ”
The woman, Marlene, walked out and placed a deerskin bag containing gold coins into Eric's hand. Eric then threw the bag of gold coins in front of Bahrain: "Here, are you satisfied?" ”
Old Barin looked at Eric in horror and said, "What do you mean, Lord Earl?" ”
"Obviously, give you money. Don't you old guy like gold? Now, I give them to you. You can't take it back with your hands, though. Eric gradually escaped a smile: "Steel Cannon, let this old fellow swallow these gold coins, he likes gold coins so much, I will let these things be buried with him." ”
The cannon answered and strode over. Old Barin screamed, "You can't say that, Lord Count. I'm Diris, too, and you can't kill your own people! ”
The blood in Eric's eyes became even stronger: "You're embarrassed to say that you're Diris, but it's just a lowly bitch." What you've done with Diris's last name all these years, you know better than I do. I haven't bothered with you because you're just a minor character. But now, your big deal with my mouth is not so cheap. ”
The cannon had already knocked old Balin down, and then grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them into his mouth. Old Balin bit his mouth, and the cannon looked at Eric. The latter nodded, and the big man immediately laughed and slammed his fist on the mouth of old Balin. The old priest screamed, his mouth opened, and his mouth fell to the ground. The cannon opened his mouth in satisfaction and shoved a handful of gold coins into his mouth.
It didn't take long for Old Balin's mouth to be filled with gold coins. The steel cannon continued, and in the end, he was gagged by the gold coins and suffocated to death.
Eric waved his hand, and the cannon dragged the old priest's body down. Along the way, gold coins kept rolling out of the priest's mouth and falling into front of the eyes of others.
was trembling, and some of them had even fainted. The Bahraini priests are the people of Diris, and these people who are not even as good as ants in the eyes of the earl can be imagined.
"Okay, tell me all the things you said and did when you came into contact with the man and woman. Don't waste my time. Eric said lightly.
It took Eric a whole morning to listen to their confessions. Among them, the bartender and have the closest contact with them. From what they said, the two men had arrived in Orca Harbor yesterday, and they had come with some kind of purpose. Otherwise, as soon as I arrived, I would ask the bartender where I could buy information. And judging from Bahrain's confession, there is no doubt that they came for the Nagas.
It's strange who else is so interested in the Naga other than the slave traders. It was clear that the two of them were not slave traders, they belonged to some other force.
Finally, Eric swept them through. His eyes fell on the bartender first, and he said, "If it weren't for your mouth, they wouldn't have found Bahrain." Behold, not only have thou done me a bad thing, but thou hast killed a Diris. Since you love to talk so much, then pull my tongue out for me. ”
"As for you......" Eric looked at Dyke, "you're an idiot, they've used them to get the city guards to interfere." I can't even see that they are not ordinary people, they have eyes and no beads, what is the use of keeping a pair of eyes, let me pick out the eyeballs. ”
When Dake and the barmaid heard this, they were so frightened that they couldn't say anything. R1058
