"Goodbye, dog!"
Joan made a grimace on the hound, padded his toes, spread his arms to keep his balance, and walked around the hound cautiously and climbed the stairs in a ballet-like posture.
Ascending to the corridor on the second floor, Qiao An heard a weird movement, as if someone was grinding.
Qiao An listened for a while, and the grinding sound seemed to be coming from the warehouse behind the big house, temporarily unable to check it out, and continued to search on the second floor.
In the big room, only the living room on the second floor was lit. Under the cover of the night and "advanced invisibility", Qiao Ann climbed up the stairs without knowing it, speeded up the run-up to the luminous window, leaped forward, and leaped into the air Rising up, fluttering down on the windowsill as high as three feet.
Across the glass window, Qiao Ann saw two people sitting opposite each other on the living room sofa, both holding pipes, chatting while spraying clouds, the smell of tobacco, and the sound of two people talking, escaping through the window. come out.
A middle-aged man dressed in a gentleman's style and with a mustache, sat on the sofa on the left side of the window with his legs folded. It was Francis Messinger.
Opposite Mesinger is a halfling man in a purple silk dressing gown. He wears a magical ruby ring on his right ring finger. The thick temples are white, and the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and forehead make his face look particularly gloomy. , I want to be the owner of this manor-Am Frody.
Joan also noticed that Mustafa, Mesinger's servant, was standing at the door of the living room, arms crossed, with a solemn expression, as if he was playing the role of a guard.
Joan sneered silently at Mustafa. The probably never dreamed that someone could sneak into the big house in a way beyond his imagination, and just under his nose, eavesdropping on the conversation between Mezinger and Frody.
Joan retracted his gaze from Mustafa, with his ears close to the window, listening intently to the movement in the room.
Facts have proved that he did not come in vain tonight, and the topics that Mesinger and Frody are talking about at the moment are closely related to Hailar's life experience.
In small talk, Mesinger revealed that he received a letter from Frodi two months ago and learned that the "Herlinghorn", which had sunk near Galti 18 years ago, has reappeared in the world and has appeared on many occasions. In the waters of Maple Bay, I couldn't help being surprised, and came to discuss countermeasures with my old partner.
Am Frody admits that the information he currently has is not enough to prove that the so-called "ghost ship" is indeed the "Heringhorn", but the mere existence of this possibility makes him uneasy. Ning, worried that Aaron Green’s undead was at work, returned to the Yang world from the underworld after a lapse of 18 years, seeking revenge on him and Mesinger.
Hearing this, Qiao An knew that Hailar's mother, Mrs. Nanna, really did not misunderstand the wrong person. Mesinger and Frody, as expected, had become traitors and jointly murdered their captain, Aaron Green.
In fact, another concern of Mrs. Nanna before her death was confirmed.
In his conversations with Frody, Mesinger mentioned Earl Winthrop many times, and explicitly suggested that the reason why Aaron Green died violently, could not blame him and Frody for treachery, stabbing a knife in the back, only to blame himself too much. Naive, even delusional to get rid of the control of Earl Winthrop, wash hands ashore, like a decent person, guarding his wife and children to live in peace.
"How is this possible?"
Mesinger sneered contemptuously.
"Aaron has such an idea, and he is destined not to die properly. If we refused the commission of Lord Earl, there would be no good end. I don't want to bury Aaron that big fool!"
Although Messinger did not specify the details of the assassination of Aaron Green, it is not difficult for Joan to imagine that he and Frody secretly accepted the purchase of Earl Winthrop, betrayed Aaron Green on Galty Island and assassinated. After succeeding, the "Herlinghorn" was sunk into the seabed, disguised as a shipwreck.
Afterwards, Mezinger and Frody returned to Freeport in secret, planning to assassinate Aaron Green’s wife Nana Green. Due to the protection of Heller, the two could not find a chance to assassinate Mrs. Nana and had to go to New · Avalon, shelter in the Earl of Winthrop.
Mrs. Nanna was overwhelmed by her husband's death and died of illness in just three years.
During these three years, Francis Messinger and Am Frody continued to play for the Earl of Winthrop. Coupled with the embezzlement of the property of their companions who died on Galti Island, both became millionaires. .
Upon hearing the news of Mrs. Nanna’s death, Mesinger returned to Freeport under the orders of the Earl of Winthrop. Later, with the strong support of Earl of Winthrop, Mesinger wooed unscrupulous MPs in Freeport and formed The alliance against Heller has now become one of the most powerful members of the Pirate Council, and is qualified to fight Heller, the "pirate speaker".
As for Am Frody, he has stayed in New Avalon for these years, engaged in the slave trade, opened a magic crystal refining factory, and secretly did some ugly deeds for the Earl of Winthrop. Now he has become Jotunheim. A member of the colonial high society, widely respected industrialist and manor.
...
"Am, the'Hellinghorn' was cut through by the two of us. We watched the ship sink to the bottom of the sea. If it really turned into a ghost ship, I am afraid it was given to the'Hellinghorn. 'The buried crew also stayed on the ship, becoming undead..."
Mesinger muttered to himself while holding the pipe.
"It is indeed possible." The halfling warlock rubbed his forehead and whispered, "Francis, you must remember the terrible undead on Galti Island. The entire island and the surrounding sea are filled with strong negative energy. People who die in such an environment will have a high probability of being transformed into undead creatures. Looking back now, we made a serious mistake and should not sink the ship near Galti Island."
"That's what I said, but at the time we were all scared to death by the banshee on the island. We just wanted to get the task assigned by Lord Earl as soon as possible. The farther we can escape, the better. How can we be so considerate!" Singh smiled bitterly.
"Yes, until now, I occasionally dream of that terrifying banshee, waking up in shock and sweating." Frody sighed, "If I had to have it, I really don't want to return to Galti Island. It's like walking into a living nightmare."
"Be optimistic, my old friend, in fact, we should really thank the banshee who reported the funeral. If she hadn't led the group of ghosts suddenly rushed out and entangled Aaron Green, we wouldn't be able to stabbing it so easily." Ge Hehe smiled.
"I'm not like you, I always think things for the good, no matter how much trouble I cause, I think I can do it!" Am Frody said grimly.
