"So, are you going to help him?" Mal Tokat frowned, "A remnant of a church?"
After taking Joe down, the captain of the guard immediately called the special envoy of Glorious City and repeated the matter from beginning to end. He was not worried that the three families would have an intention on the treasure. After all, no one knew its true use. If it is really a rare treasure with great power, then it is impossible to flow out of the morning light from the beginning.
"It's not up to me to help or not," Sean said indifferently, "I was given an order to find the whereabouts of the treasure as much as possible. Now that I finally have a seemingly credible clue, I naturally have to go further. Just confirm it. As for what action to take next, it will be up to His Majesty to decide." He paused and looked at the other party, "So, do you have any good plans, Mr. Special Envoy?"
The First Army is unmatched, but it also has to have an enemy. The search for spies hiding in the dark is not the leader of the soldiers. This kind of thing is undoubtedly more suitable for the three major families.
"Honestly, I wish I'd never heard of this," Marl shrugged. "If it wasn't for the church, Sister Quinn wouldn't have been kicked out of Dawn, maybe she's my eldest brother's wife by now... ahem, but Since you have spoken, I can only help to the end. Although many people have come to the town recently, it is not difficult to find a specific group of people."
"A specific group?"
"That's right, when the Cage Mountain can't be climbed, the closest way to get here from Wolf Heart is the sea port city, Coral Bay, which is located in the northeast of Thorns Town." Marr pointed his fingers, "come from the east, There are ten to fifteen people, and there may be teams with a wolf-heart accent or clothing style. By screening according to these conditions, the target can be narrowed down to two or three groups of people and no more than five groups at most."
"Because the big city to the east...is there only one Coral Bay?" Sean thought thoughtfully. It's like the people who come to Neverwinter from the east may come from all over Greycastle, but those who arrive in Neverwinter from the west are basically only the devils left. "When these people are found, detain them all and interrogate them again?"
"That's what it means." Mal nodded, "And the spies you are looking for are among them."
"The question is who will do this?"
"Is there anyone who knows the situation in the town better than the local mice? Problems that can be solved as long as you give money are usually not problems." Marl smiled and stroked his chest, "In order to show the sincerity of the three major families, this fee will be paid by The Tokat family will take care of it."
…
In a house on the outskirts of Thorns Town, Hagrid, the butler of the Earl of Grand Duke Island, was impatiently driving away the mosquitoes around him.
He couldn't even find a ventilating tent in this damned place. He thought angrily, the flying insects were all over the place before summer arrived. After another two months, wouldn't it be impossible to treat people at all
However, until now, there is still no clue as to why the ritual cube glows.
He wasn't even sure if the King of Greycastle really came to curse the treasures in the temple.
See what the other party has done during this period
According to the information gathered by their subordinates, the Greycastle exploration team arrived in the town of Thorns two months ago, and after that, they were building a mountain and building roads, and they were recruiting death row prisoners. The temple on the mountainside was also dug upside down by them. Every day, bricks and stones are transported down from the mountain and placed in an open space that is always guarded.
If it was all about finding treasures that might be buried, it would make sense, but the truth is that Greycastle’s attitude towards stones seems to be much more eager than treasures. He had observed the open space from a distance. After the bricks and stones transported from the temple were evenly dried, they would be loaded into carriages and sent to Coral Bay in the east.
Hagrid couldn't understand why the King of Greycastle wanted these black stones.
He also managed to steal a few temple stones from the port and ordered them to bring them back to Count Lorenzo. However, as he expected, the ritual cube did not regain its legendary power.
The key thing that caused the reaction of the ancient treasure must be something else.
"Sir, we have brought the person you are looking for," suddenly a subordinate opened the curtain and reported to him.
"Let him in," Hagrid hurriedly tightened his bow tie and sat up straight.
"Yes!"
Then a man who looked like a villager was pushed into the house. He knelt on the ground and raised his head cautiously, "Sir, my name is Naf, do you want to go up the mountain? As long as you don't cross the peak line, I can take it anywhere. you"
"I heard that when the Greycastle people first came to Cage Mountain, you were the guide they asked for?" Hagrid interrupted.
"Yes, yes... my lord."
"Snapped."
Hagrid threw a small cloth bag directly in front of him. "There are twenty golden dragons in it. As long as you can say something that interests me, it will be yours."
"Yes, of course, my lord, I must say everything!" Naf responded excitedly.
"Let's tell the whole situation first, don't miss every detail." Hagrid glanced at the person under his feet contemptuously, leaning back on the chair and said.
When Nuff described the group climbing Cage Mountain, he suddenly opened his eyes, "Wait, what did you just say?"
"That lady witch called Akima"
"No, the last sentence!"
"Well, she said, holding a coin, go this way."
"Coins?" Hagrid demanded. "What kind?"
"It looks very ordinary, neither like a silver wolf nor a copper eagle." Nave thought for a while, "By the way, there is no pattern on it, it seems to be just a polished sheet."
"Did the witch keep holding it?" Hagrid felt that he had grasped the key.
"Most of the time," the guide said with an epiphany, "I also remembered after hearing what you said, that group of people was dominated by witches in the direction of travel, and every time they turned, the witch would put a coin on the It was as if he was staring at something in front of him."
Damn, it really has something to do with this group of aliens!
Hagrid clenched his fists. "Where is that witch named Akima... now?"
"I-I don't know," Nave shook his head again and again, "She left Thorns Town within a few days, probably... went back to Greycastle?"
If there are only a few days, then the other party must be no longer in the cage before he leaves, but the reaction of the ritual cube has not stopped, which means... the coins are left here? Hagrid thought quickly in his heart that it was probably not a coin at all, but a "key" that the King of Greycastle had found from other ruins. Since it was no trivial matter, the custodian must be the leader of the exploration team.
He had already found out this information. Currently, the two people with the highest status in the Greycastle team are the commander-in-chief Sean and the special envoy of the three major families, Marr.
Compared to the second son from a noble family, a king's personal guard seems to be more easily seduced. Most castles in the world are often conquered from the inside.
If you want to open a breakthrough in him, how many golden dragons must be prepared
Five hundred... or a thousand
However, Hagrid knew that no matter how much it was, Lord Earl would be happy to pay for the secret of the Rubik's Cube.
As long as I can get on the line with him, I must be not far from the answer.
Hagrid couldn't help but get excited.
If he gets the key "key", he will definitely be highly appreciated by Count Lorenzo, and even go a step further, is the position of lord not a bad idea? After all, no one stipulates that only the lord can use the Rubik's Cube.
Just as he was envisioning a wonderful future, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Wait, who are you?"
"what!"
Then there was a banging sound, and before Hagrid could recover, the door was violently kicked open, and a group of uninvited guests in patrol attire poured into the house and pressed him to the ground.
Hagrid struggled to straighten his bow tie, "I-I'm a legitimate businessman, you can't treat me like this! If you want money, I'll do my best to cooperate."
"The Lord of Thorns Town suspects that your caravan contains the remnants of the Church and needs to be investigated immediately," but the other party was unmoved.
