Vol 4 Chapter 102: Thundershower (Part 2)

It was still a ruined street, and that tower was so beautiful and unreasonable; there was a little red in the mud at the foot, which was left a few days ago ... the color of blood.
Even if he was already familiar with the position this time, when Loren came to the place where he met Edward again, it was still a little unbelievable.
The former headquarters of the dazzling night watchman is actually the same as the houses of some broken nobles ... not to mention the traps, not even the most basic institutions.
Of course there may be, but it is hidden in a place where I can't see ...
Sitting in a familiar living room, the dark-haired wizard lightly snapped his fingers to light the fireplace, and casually touched a bottle of East Sakran's earthen red wine from the wine rack, as well as a plate of untouched blueberry pudding.
The pudding in East Sacran is not the same thing as Loren ’s last life jelly. It is more similar to the baked cake, which is filled with blueberries and various dried fruits. It is both a dessert and a dinner.
Open the stopper skillfully and pour a full glass for yourself; Loren actually prefers semi-sweet white grapes to dry red, but ... just waiting for someone, it does n’t matter what you drink.
He does n’t worry about being poisoned ... It ’s better to say that any guy with evil spirits in his head who is being watched by his body all day long does not have to worry about this
small
problem.
The blood-red wine swayed gently, and it was extremely charming under the fire of the fireplace. Loren enjoyed the pudding that didn't ask so unhurriedly; he took the glass and drank it.
The cool touch penetrates into the throat, but from the chest down is a smooth comfort.
By the time he drank it, there was already another person across from him.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time, they put down the wine glass and the sword in their hands.
"it's time?"
The indifferent night watchman used a rhetorical question, but there was no point in asking in the tone.
Now that Loren has come here, the answer is self-evident.
"it's time."
The dark-haired wizard nodded slightly:
"Brandon hopes to win the support of Red Blood Castle, it is best to be able to get married ... But this kind of thing is not his own calculation, we are going to find a way to reach an alliance with the Turin family first, and then convince Eckha His Majesty agreed. "
"So it is appropriate for you to be the middleman between the two parties ..." Lenovo's surname of the other side, Edward is not surprised by this result: "But generally speaking, this kind of marriage does not always require the approval of His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Loren slowly raised the corner of his mouth, his expression very subtle: "You also said ... that is the general situation."
"what do you mean……"
"The Turin family is not an ordinary imperial noble, but a wealthy man who has inherited the millennium and the Desalion royal family; if such a big family is forced to press them with His Majesty's will, it can only be counterproductive." Loren Shrug:
"In any case, give them a face, so that both parties are not happy; even if the marriage fails in the end, it will not be too stiff."
"And as a wizard consultant and messenger for Brandon de Salleone, I have a reason to justify leaving the capital."
These remarks are well-founded and do not leak water, but the night watchman still has some doubts:
"I heard that the Countess Charlotte Turin has arrived in the Imperial Capital and has appeared in the courtroom of the imperial trial ... Is it necessary to go to the Red Blood Castle again?"
"If it's just a marriage, of course it's not necessary." Loren replied calmly: "But the key is to make the Turin family a supporter of His Highness Brandon ... This is no longer a matter of the countess alone."
The indifferent night watchman nodded slightly, his eyes flickering on the invisible face.
That's true ... Even for the prestigious Turin family, or because it is "Torino", it is certainly impossible for such a big thing to be done without consulting the vassals and the family.
Once a decision is made, this is equivalent to standing directly on the opposite side of Crown Prince Connold-for the Turin family whose time has passed, it is not a big gamble
But their decision to make such a decision is equally understandable ... Although the title is deprived, the Turin family in the past two generations still has a very high status in Bairn and is still respected by many lords.
Until the twelfth generation, or the day when Crown Prince Connor officially entered the core of the empire's power ... The establishment of the imperial governor and the implementation of the governor system completely deprived the Turin family of the last prestige and real power in Byrne!
And those who stand behind the Yuqian Cabinet and the House of Nobility and vigorously promote the governor system; formally this imperial crown prince, the Prince of East Sacran!
Nowadays, the imperial governor still has only the financial power of the Principality and important resources such as minerals and war horses; but it is conceivable that once Connord succeeds, he will not be limited to this ... military power, land and even hereditary privileges and His status will be stripped away by him sooner or later.
It turned out that they were finally ready to let go ... Edward couldn't help thinking.
"When is the time?"
"After three days, it takes a little time to prepare and have a thorough communication." The dark-haired wizard said: "In any case, she is the earl of the Red Blood Castle, the vassal of the empire, the leader of the Turin family ... it can't be like ordinary People leave like that quietly. "
"At that time everyone's eyes will be focused on the countess returning to the fief. I will find a way to make an excuse not to leave with them. If you want to do it, that day is the best time."
Loren's expression gradually dignified: "How are you preparing over there?"
"Almost soon ... even if you don't leave, they should start working in the near future." The night watchman nodded slightly and exchanged glances with the black-haired wizard.
He knew that Loren was not referring to himself, but the night watchman behind him.
"I don't know the exact plan, but as long as you are about to send the information to the Red Blood Castle, they will have to change the plan if they are not happy ... so that I have a chance to intervene."
"Really so smooth?" The black-haired wizard frowned slightly.
"Don't you say that they have begun to guard against you ... At this time, a critical piece of information is suddenly taken, and no one is worried about fraud?"
"This is certain ..." Edward nodded, still with an indifferent expression: "So I will not give this information to them directly, but let them find it for themselves."
"How to do it?"
"It's simple, just let them know that I have contacted you privately." The night watchman's face does not change color. "Someone is following me on the way, and there are more than one."
Loren was slightly startled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ immediately understood Edward's plan.
Since the night watchman of the imperial capital had long suspected that Edward had been in private contact with himself, he simply exposed himself a little and made the other party mistakenly believe that he had obtained a major piece of information, but could win the other party's trust.
"And then ... is the second step." Edward continued: "When they 'dig' the information out of my mouth, I will entrust the matter to them in full, except for the first thing. . "
"In this way ... they will assume that I have betrayed you, but you are still in the dark, thinking that I will carry out the original plan-they will not overdo it in order not to expose my" facts of betrayal. " If you intervene, you will strive to get me the opportunity to assassinate you! "
When the words fell, Loren couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Fake things ... this guy is a deep routine!
"At this point, the plan has been shaped ... The rest is how you escape." Then, the night watchman stuffed a pen-sized scroll into the hands of the black-haired wizard:
"This is a map of the sewers of the imperial capital, and there are also some secret passages that connect to the sky dome ... After reading it, it is burned and found out, but it is a death sentence!"
"It's worthy of being a night watchman, this can also be obtained ..." Hearing his words, Loren took it with a smile: "Is there a recommended escape route?"
"No."
"Ok?"
"You only need to know this kind of thing ... If you can, it is best not to escape from the tunnel."
Edward's voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge in his words:
"Must remember ... never have the slightest sympathetic thought, Loren, never!"
"When you walk out of this door, you will be the one that Edward was dead, now he ..."
"It's your enemy!"
