Lord of the Oasis Chapter 89: .2 different conspiracies
When Kant led the team out of the mansion and planned to leave towards the city gate, many eyeliners who had been waiting outside the mansion to investigate, suddenly all left in the shadows and corners.
Including the five hooded men who had been eyeing Kant when they first came to the Stone Pass.
But that's not the only one stalking.
Among the pedestrians outside the official residence, a few civilians in shabby clothes also left in a hurry with their heads lowered.
Looks like normal.
But in fact, in this small stone pass, there are layers of waves.
The basement.
These five thin, hooded men are reporting.
The man sitting in the chair nodded with a lazy tone: "So, you don't know what Baron Kant and Baron Dylan were talking about?"
"Sorry, my lord, there is nothing we can do."
Among the five thin men, the one who was in the lead was ashamed.
"No, there's no need to apologize." But the leader sitting in the chair shook his head slightly: "The five of you have done a good job. After all, Baron Dylan, a country bumpkin, takes his official residence very seriously and wants to put it in. A few spies are impossible."
The candle on the table flickered, and light appeared in the room.
The basement is silent.
The spy chief sat in his chair and thought for a moment, before making up his mind: "You guys are waiting for me here."
"Yes," the spies responded.
He stood up with a chair in both hands, took the crutches beside him, and limped toward a wooden door next to him. Obviously, he was a **** with mutilated limbs.
But these five spies did not dare to show contempt, and still waited respectfully.
The spy chief slowly pushed open the wooden door.
Inside is another basement.
There are cabinets, tables and chairs, and several other wooden doors, like an underground labyrinth.
The spy chief is already familiar with the route.
From the dark compartment of the cupboard, he took out a box the size of a human head. After opening it, there was a huge crystal ball, flashing with a slight blue light. With his several movements, layers of halos gradually appeared.
There is a muffled voice in the room.
Appears to be conversing with the crystal ball.
After a while, the halo disappeared, and the room returned to silence.
The spy leader put the box back together, returned to the room where he was before, limped to the chair and sat down, said indifferently: "Let Miss Jacqueline act with you, in the barren desert. , a young hero will lend a hand to a beautiful lady who is being bullied."
"Yes, my lord." The five spies nodded.
"Go ahead." The spy chief waved, signaling the spies to leave.
In the empty room, the corners of his mouth were also somewhat mocking.
For these young nobles who have just gained their own rights, they are very willing to show their strength and pride like the classic passages in the novel. The tune of heroes saving beauty is simple and effective.
………………
But in the slums of Stone Pass.
Dirty sewage was flowing freely on the streets, and the pungent stench also appeared in the shacks on both sides.
Pedestrians come and go in ragged clothes.
These are the bankrupt poor living here, with indifferent and lifeless eyes.
Even if they are alive, they are just lingering.
However, just inside the slum, in a slightly larger house made of wood, a group of 40 thin men were gathering, looking respectfully at the four burly men sitting on the chairs in front of them.
If Kant and the others were here, they would recognize these 4 burly men.
Because Kant met them in the Lord's Hall at dinner last night and breakfast this morning.
Although he didn't speak, he was vaguely recognizable by his face.
These 4 guys,
He is the vassal knight to which Baron Dylan belongs!
It was also in the lord's hall that the four knights who looked at the Sarand rider with greedy eyes left a deep impression on Kant, who was actually secretly alert, and it was absolutely impossible to forget it in a short time.
Kant was guessing at the time that he might be in trouble.
And now, his guess was correct.
"With this vote, we can get out of this damned Stone Pass."
The headed vassal knight said with a gloomy expression, "I know that Viscount Wayne, who is in charge of North County, is very dissatisfied with Baron Dylan. If we take refuge in the past, we may have a chance to obtain our own knighthood."
Another person also said: "Yes, Viscount Wayne will definitely canonize the village near the Stone Pass as a knightly fief for us, unlike the **** Dylan, who hasn't mentioned the canonization of knights for 5 years. What to do!”
Speaking of this, all four of them were sullen.
About 5 years after arriving at the Stone Pass, although he was recruited as a knight, he was not actually a fief.
Without a fief, it means that there is no real recognition. It is completely dependent on Baron Dylan's subordinates and obeys his various dispatches, just like a wandering knight hired for money.
A knight with a knight's collar and a knight without a fief have a very different status!
The former is the real noble reserve.
And the latter are nothing more than mercenaries with superb force.
So the four of them have long been dissatisfied with Baron Dylan, and they are unwilling to continue to stay in this barren stone pass. They want to go directly to Viscount Wayne to make a fool of their luck. knights, get their own knight collars, and own their own fief villages.
"Now that we have so many people, let's do it!"
Finally, the four vassal knights made up their minds and looked at the 40 thin men in front of them. Although they were all starving, as long as they were armed, their momentum was not bad.
Do what they say, they are not good people.
Before becoming vassal knights, they slaughtered on the battlefield ~IndoMTL.com~ and even robbed caravans for money.
Even when you come to Stone Pass, you will occasionally go back to your old business.
Sometimes the gangs of robbers that appear mysteriously in various places, loot and disappear mysteriously, are also related to these vassal knights who are short of money. Even if the lord knows about it, they will turn a blind eye.
It's not a caravan that plunders its own territory, and it will only leave a stingy reputation.
This is also the main reason for the underdevelopment of commerce in the male lion duke.
Even on the Reisniston River, river bandits in disguise can occasionally be found. If Lionheart City had not established a river patrol team, it is estimated that the economic lifeline of this lion principality would have been hit.
Bandits are really serious in the Principality of Lions.
Of course, Kant didn't know that his whereabouts had been tracked by people with ulterior motives.
He's still taking people to buy something in the market at Stone Pass.
For example, logging axes and agricultural tools are all in short supply in the Sentinel Oasis. Take the lead to buy 50 tools back, whether it is logging, farming, or collecting coarse salt, they are very useful.
It's just a mountain path on both sides of the Stone Pass. Two teams of people from different affiliations are heading to the desert without leaving a trace.
They have to prepare in advance.
