Volume 3 The Vortex of Strife Chapter 81 Hot and Sour Blackberries (II)
"It's worthy of..."Avi also glanced outside, the room they were in was open, and every time he spoke, he always felt that he was being peeked at instead of overheard, "It is worthy of being an elite agent of the two-color blade mercenary group, and he actually collected incredible insider information?!"
"Sounds like a compliment to me, huh... I'll tell you one thing first, I guess the eldest prince Bradley will soon find you, and he has been working non-stop since he returned to the kingdom's capital, and the first thing is to investigate why Evan and Stitch were attacked in Butterflytown. After Fan finished speaking softly, he ate more than half of a leg of mutton, leaving Avi time to think.
Avi drank two sips of Kerry's wine: "It's normal to look for me, after all, those mercenaries are chasing me, maybe those unreliable mercenaries will give instructions, in this case..."
"Hey, it seems that you read a lot, but your reaction is poor, if you can really find out who the instruct is by investigation and torture, and you have not moved for so long, and you are still going to be asked to assist in the investigation?" Fan squinted at Avi as he spoke, as if he wanted to strip Avi of his knaked.
Avi was startled, "Anything else, any other confessions about those mercenaries?"
Big-nosed Fan shrugged his shoulders, his appearance was obviously telling Avi everything he knew, "The man in black who doesn't know what he wants, and the mercenary who doesn't know anything, that's all." But don't be surprised, this is just the first inside information, and there's more trouble to come, just a little further away. Fan's tone and tone are like that of a cultist, spreading devastating prophecies of the end of the world, the collapse of the earth, and the sea sweeping over the homeland, and if a child hears it, he will definitely be scared to tears.
At this time, the person outside who had been coveting the blackberry roast mutton in the hands of the two of them finally couldn't help but come over, and he was drunk and cursed in his mouth, "Hey, you two boys, why did the blackberry roast mutton that was sold out be given to you two latest guys!"
As soon as the people outside saw that someone was going to make trouble, they immediately ran over to stabilize the drunk guest, who knew that the drunk man kicked the innkeeper open, and angrily reprimanded: "Lao Tzu came to the capital from Duro Town to eat the blackberry roast mutton here, and now he wants me to wait until tomorrow?!
"If you keep making a fuss like this, you might not be able to eat the blackberry roast lamb here tomorrow." The big-nosed fan was sarcastic, and deliberately picked up the roast leg of lamb with his hand, took a big bite off a piece of meat, and then provoked the drunk with the sound of chewing. Avi didn't mean to cause trouble, he was afraid that he would be targeted, and it would be good for him to keep a low profile to find out the secret.
"Okay, little ghost!I'll ask the boss here first!" he turned around suddenly, pointed his finger at Boss Jerry, and slowly walked in Jerry's direction, "Say!Why are these two guys so much later than me!, but they can eat a limited supply of blackberry roast lamb!" He roared as he pulled out a machete from his waist, and some of the guests were so frightened that they immediately hid in the guest room, but the subordinates in "Hot and Sour Blackberry" and the boss were as calm as ever.
Jerry said in a low voice: "This guest from afar, you are a little late today, they are all guests who ordered roast lamb yesterday, so..."
"Reservations?!Playing with me!" Suddenly he threw the machete at Jerry, and Jerry dodged sideways, but while the middle-aged woman dodged the attack, she already had something more in her hand. Jerry smashed something in her hand directly at the drunk, hitting the drunkard in the head and knocking the drunk unconscious. Avi looked at it and found that the thing had broken to the ground, and it turned out to be the clay doll that the big-nosed fan had just stuffed for the proprietress Jerry.
Jerry asked her men to carry the drunk to the guards guarding the city, she didn't show the slightest expression of concern, it seemed that she was already very experienced in dealing with drunks.
"Fan, you see that I just broke the doll you gave to my grandson in a hurry! What can I do?" Jerry is thin on the top and fat on the bottom, and her buttocks are like a pumpkin.
"If this meal is free, I'll consider giving you another one!"
"This meal is meant to be free, how about giving it to you again the next time you and your friends come back?!!" said Jerry with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll come back in two days!"
After Jerry left, Avi asked in a low voice, "What's the second inside information?"
Fan watched Jerry walk away before saying, "Listen, but don't tell anyone else for the time being, the second piece of information is about Bradley, the eldest prince of this country." ”
Bignose Van then tells Avi that all the information he's gathered recently is related to Bradley. The Grand Prince had returned to Mallotte a few days earlier, much to everyone's surprise. Princess Winlith, as his "vanguard", brought back the news that he was going to return to Mallote from the sea to the west, but the day after Winlith's return, the second prince Anthony Feremiz immediately left Mallote and returned to his own territory. Even the guards of the entire capital were trembling, but it was fortunate that Bradley had only brought some personal guards, otherwise he might have aroused the disgust of the current king. The reason is simple, because Bradley's reason for leaving the country in the first place is well known - to avoid the succession dispute.
At that time, the second prince Ansol had high political achievements and prestige, and the little prince Walter was King Byron's favorite son, so the eldest prince Bradley chose to go to a remote town to become the lord of the city. This decision disappointed many ministers, who had supported Bradley as the eldest son, but Bradley chose to escape. King Byron was getting old, and his three sons were all bad, but he never had a prince, and this problem was noticed by all the soldiers and civilians of the kingdom of Sarins. But Byron, as if he had not noticed, ignored the question, consciously or unconsciously, until the eldest prince Bradley returned to the capital many years later, and the question of the heir's succession immediately became sharp and sensitive, and even the sparrows in the trees smelled a strange smell.
"You mean... The eldest prince is back this time to snatch the throne?!"
"I didn't say that, I guess you received some inside information, right?" Fan turned his head and teased Avi.
Van went on to tell Avi that this time Bradley was returning to the capital for the pretext of "picking up his brother". He planned to personally lead a large army to the Duchy of Deramain and bring back Prince Walter, who was about to come of age. This reason seems reasonable, after all, it is time for Walter to return home, and if there is a large army, it can show the strength of the Kingdom of Salins and ensure the safety of the royal family, and at the same time, it can also keep the Duchy of Dramain humble and continue to ally with the Kingdom of Salins as a subordinate.
It's just that in the past two days, rumors have spread that Bradley wants to get the military power first, and then put the other party under house arrest after receiving his younger brother. When passing through Amsol's territory, he also eliminated the second brother who had come out of the house, and forced King Byron to hand over the great kingdom into his hands. This rumor is not unreasonable, sooner or later, it happens that Walter will return when he is an adult, and the route he plans to set out will also pass through North Salins, which is Ammekh's sphere of influence.
"The most important thing is that he brought someone back!" said Fan mysteriously.
"Who?"
"The eldest lady of the Duchy de la Main, the only daughter of the Grand Duke Webster, Miss Christine. ”
Kristen Avi thought about it, he had heard of the "runaway Christine" in the Kingdom of Sarins. The young lady who had been taken hostage had escaped from Mallot, and her whereabouts are still unknown. Fortunately, it was not to run away from the wedding, if that was the case, maybe the army of the Kingdom of Sallins would have set foot on Dlaman.
Fan looked at the other diners, none of them paid attention to this, "This Miss Christine will come to Mallotte soon, the eldest prince has brought Walter's fiancée back from his own domain, plus his status as the eldest son and his ability and prestige, if this does not let him pick up his brother, it will also be another opportunity." ”
Avi realizes the opportunity that Van is talking about, an opportunity to stand up and dictate the will of the people as the king's eldest son.
