Chapter 30, Assassination under the roof

Earl Schwartz cursed in the direction of the fire. His courtiers thought the Earl was cursing the rebels who burned the noble manor, and quickly advised the Earl, but Earl Schwartz looked at him like an idiot.

"Rebels, are those damn mobs worthy of my curses?" Earl Schwartz said coldly.

"Then, why are you angry, Count?" The court minister looked at his monarch in confusion. Now, besides being angry with the rebels, what else is worth angry with the Earl?

"It's Rudolph, idiot, it's Rudolph. That bastard disobeyed my order. If he reinforced the town of Movenna, those damn rebels would not be so close to us." Earl Schwartz stood on the wall, pointed to the fire in the distance, and said to his men.

"It's true." After hearing the count's words, the court officials suddenly realized.

"I have to summon the army now and re-appoint new generals to destroy these rebels before they are too proud." Earl Schwartz turned around tremblingly, and the courtier hurriedly supported him, and the count muttered to himself as he walked.

Just when Schwartz County was looted by the Flagless Brotherhood, Rudolph sat next to the dining table, but was quite tormented. This strange dinner made him feel like he shot himself in the foot.

"So, Lord Rudolph, are you here in Lorraine to find mercenaries?" Tracy sat there quietly like a lady at the dining table, wearing a dress that she only wore during the Harvest Festival. She asked Rudolph with a smile.

"Uh, that's right." Rudolph nodded, and he held the wine glass and said to the curious Tracy.

"Who is your enemy?" Tracy couldn't help but break the casserole and ask to the end. As a girl who can only be in the town of Lorraine, she was the time to crave everything new.

"Tracy, let Lord Rudolph enjoy dinner quietly to thank him for sending me back." Nord, who had been drinking soup silently, raised his head and said to his daughter. Although he was very polite, Rudolph obviously heard Nord's dissatisfaction. But thinking about it, he had just beaten him up, and at this time, he was still flirting with his precious daughter under his roof, and it was a bit unreasonable to put anyone on him.

"By the way, I really have to thank you Lord Rudolph. If you hadn't happened to pass by and saved my poor father, he would have been hurt by those lawless criminals." Tracy looked at the blue green on Nord's face worriedly and said to Rudolph in a grateful tone.

"Puff~." Taylor and Maxiu, who were also sitting next to Rudolph, couldn't help but almost laugh out loud.

"Ahem, Tracy, we have been entertaining Rudolph for a long time. I believe that the respected Lord Rudolph must want to return to his camp immediately. After all, he has many heavy tasks to do." Nord now tried his best to send Rudolph and others away, especially Rudolph, whose daughter seemed very interested in him.

"Dad, how could you do this?" Tracy stared at Nord with a look of anger.

"Uh, me?" Nord looked at his daughter in surprise, wondering what was wrong with her?

"Mr. Rudolph saved you and sent you home in person. As the masters, we should repay his kindness. It's so late now, and leaving the city is also a very troublesome thing. Lord. Rudolph please live with us!" Tracy said to Nord first, then turned to Rudolph and said.

"No, no, we can rest in the hotel in the town." Rudolph said quickly.

"Sir Rudolph, it may be better to accept invitations than hotels." However, Rudolph's fellow traveler Taylor spoke up and made suggestions to him.

"What?" Rudolf was very surprised when he heard this. He looked at Taylor, but the other party blinked at him.

"Tracy, I think our family is too simple to entertain a noble nobleman." Nord's forehead was sweating. What was going on with his daughter? He wanted to drive away a plague god like Rudolph immediately, and there was no reason to stay at home.

"I agree, thank you for your invitation." Rudolph left without rushing to listen to Nord's words, and he said to Tracy.

"That's great." Tracy seemed very happy to hear Rudolph agreeing to live, and the young nobleman left a good impression on her in the church.

Of course, there were several rooms for guests in Nord's house. The servant took the candle and brought Rudolph to a room. Although the room looked simple, the walls were painted with white ash and the air inside was very clean.

"Sir Rudolph, we are at the door. If there is anything, call me at any time." Taylor brought the door of the room and said to Rudolph. The nobles would not relax their guards when they were resting. At this time, Taylor and Maxiu acted as his guards, especially when they were visiting Nord's home, who had been robbers, and they could not relax their guards.

Rudolph walked to the wooden bed and pressed it with his hands. Unexpectedly, under the linen mattress, there was an animal fur that was covered with unknown details. It was not a hard wooden bottom at all.

"Ah." Rudolph always slept in a tent in the wild. Although there was an old blanket and the careful Taylor was spread on the ground with hay, he always felt uncomfortable. Now he was lying on the wooden bed of Nord's house, feeling much satisfied and gradually fell asleep.

Rudolph slept soundly in his dream, but Nord was like an ant on a hot pan. He grabbed his head and kept paced. Rudolph threatened him with his secret to force him to deceive the merchants of Lorraine. He knew that once this matter was revealed, he might be driven out of Lorraine, let alone continue to be the leader of the guild.

"But if I don't obey his orders, I will be hanged. What should I do if I do Virgin Mary?" Nord wanted to die now, but he had no choice. After careful calculation, he found that if he obeyed Rudolph's orders, he would still have a glimmer of life.

Nord, in an upset mood, opened the door and walked out. It happened that Rudolph's room was opposite his room. The moment he stepped out of the room, two sharp eyes immediately turned to him, and Taylor and Maxiu, who were standing at Rudolph's door, were staring at him vigilantly.

"I, I just want to go and make it easier." Nord swallowed. These two guys were not easy to mess with, so he quickly said to both of them.

"Don't play tricks." Taylor pulled out the dagger from his waist and said to Nord.

"No, no." Nord hurriedly walked sideways outside the house. He didn't dare to think of any terrible ideas.

"Maxiu goes and follow him, don't let him play tricks." Taylor winked at Maxiu and asked Maxiu to follow Nord. Maxiu did not dare to disobey Taylor's orders, just follow Nord and walked out of the house.

"Yeah." When both Maxiu and Nord left, Taylor's eyes became sharp. He held the dagger backhand and quietly opened a gap against Rudolph's door.

"Snooze." Through the gap, Taylor saw Rudolph lying calmly on the wooden bed, and then made regular snoring sounds. He knew Rudolph was asleep.
