"Dear Lord Lucien, thank you for your help!"
Orlando stepped forward cautiously, and saluted the armored man respectfully.
Although his heart was also full of doubts, for example, how could Lucien become Count Angelet's subordinate? Another example is why such a person has a big bloody hole dug out of his chest, and he still looks calm and composed
However, one thing is very clear - his own life was saved by the person in front of him.
Moreover, Orlando, who had been driven to a dead end, turned around again and saw the hope of life.
Even, it is possible to go further...
Colin looked at Orlando in front of him through the eyes of the blood slave Lucien, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The chaos in Clover City this time was indeed planned by Colin, but the development of the matter exceeded his expectations.
It has to be said that human subjective initiative is a wonderful thing.
Every individual in the chaotic situation is struggling for his own interests, his own hatred, and his own destiny.
Harry, Blue, Ron, Capone, Orlando...
In Ke Lin's eyes, these characters who should be small characters and pawns may not be willing to follow the path that Colin planned for them.
These are variables.
This is why the more complicated the conspiracy, the more difficult it is to succeed.
On the contrary, simple and crude methods rarely cause unplanned situations.
However, if you want to be "simple and rude", you must have the ability to break the situation with force, which, at least in Clover City, Colin has not yet been able to do.
So, he planned it all.
Although there were many accidents, fortunately, the final result still satisfied him.
Moreover, Colin also got a surprise - Orlando.
This leader of thieves in Clover City may come from a humble background, may have had a bad past, and may even have questionable character, but this time he really impressed Colin.
The calmness in the face of desperation, the wisdom to see through the puzzle, the courage to survive from death, the courage to use oneself as a bait... Colin may not be able to do better than him in getting along with others.
This is a talent.
If used properly, it might be able to help Colin secretly control Clover City, and even cause great trouble to the Eastern Territory.
It's a pity that Orlando is not a knight, otherwise Colin would have wanted to transform him into a bloodborn.
If transformed into a blood slave, it would be too wasteful...
"Lord Lucien..." Orlando looked at the silent armored man, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and reminded him, "Your injury..."
"Small injury, it's okay." Colin manipulated Lucien to wave his hand casually, fiddled with the damaged armor, and covered the unsightly wound.
The corner of Orlando's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he changed the subject and said, "Lord Lucien, I wonder if I can pay a visit to Lord Angelet and express my gratitude and gratitude in person!"
"The count can't see you yet." Colin flatly refused.
Seeing the disappointment on Orlando's face, he said again: "However, the Earl knows about you and is very satisfied with you."
Orlando regained hope, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your approval! Please tell your lord that I am willing to swear allegiance to him! No matter what your lord has ordered, I will do my best!"
"I will convey your sincerity to the Earl, but under the current circumstances, you cannot reveal it yet."
Orlando rolled his eyes, seemed to understand something, nodded immediately and said: "Yes! I wonder what arrangements the Earl has for me?"
There was no joy or anger in the deep eyes of the armored man, and his tone was extremely stiff: "The Earl said, since you can guess his plan and break free from this puzzle, it means you are a smart person.
Therefore, the Earl is willing to give you a chance to prove yourself.
Without Capone, the Clover Brotherhood needs a new leader, and in this position, you do have a lot of hope right now.
Later, you will go to No. 87, Feren Street, where the Earl left you a gift.
At the same time, this is the greatest help the Earl can give you.
As for the next step, whether you can control the underground forces in Clover City depends on your own ability. "
"Thank you Earl for your trust! I will not let him down!" Orlando said loudly.
He had already vaguely guessed what the "gift" Earl Angelet left him was.
Moreover, he also knew that this could be a gift, but it could also be his lifeline.
However, Orlando accepted the gift without hesitation.
The experience of surviving a near-death made him understand many things. A small person like him has no power or strength. He may have a fairly smart head, but this alone cannot survive in such a troubled world. of.
He has to depend on something.
Moreover, Orlando is actually very clear that he has no right to refuse.
Earl Angelet sent someone to save him, but he could also send someone to destroy him.
Therefore, Orlando must follow the script set by Earl Angelet to give a perfect ending to the drama in Clover City.
Raising his head, Orlando asked again: "Lord Lucien, does the Earl have a detailed plan?"
The armored man shook his head and said, "No, next, it's up to you."
"Yes!" Orlando was a little worried, but more of an eagerness to try.
The man in armor saw the little man's ambition, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and picked up Capone who had fainted, and disappeared into the dark night after a few flashes.
Orlando stared at the place where the armored man disappeared for a while before turning around and going downstairs.
A group of loyal younger brothers had already gathered downstairs, and immediately surrounded Orlando when they saw Orlando.
They had been ordered not to come up no matter what happened upstairs, so they were very anxious when they heard the sound of fighting. It was not until now that Orlando appeared again safe and sound that they were finally relieved.
"Boss, we have found out that it was Musos who leaked your whereabouts to Capone."
Orlando nodded, seemingly not surprised by the news, and did not give any instructions, as if this leaker didn't deserve his attention at all.
The little brothers looked at each other and watched Orlando walking out without saying a word, so they had no choice but to follow quickly.
Under the cover of darkness, Orlando arrived at the address the armored man told him, and then found the "gift" that Count Angelet left for him in the abandoned warehouse.
Yes, that priceless bond!
Looking at this thing that turned Clover City upside down, Orlando couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
But soon, he put away these unnecessary emotions, hid the bond close to his body, and walked out.
Outside the warehouse, the younger brothers kept reporting that the leaders of the major forces in Clover City wanted to see Orlando.
But Orlando snorted coldly and didn't agree. Instead, he asked, "Have you found out the details of the envoys from the Eastern Territory that you were asked to check earlier?"
"Found it, the person who came to see Capone this time is Lord Fei Yin from the Eastern Region."
"Where is he now?"
"It's in the cathedral in Dongcheng District."
Orlando nodded, took a deep breath, touched the place where the bonds were hidden in his waist, and said:
"Okay then, let's go meet the Viscount of the Eastern Realm!"
