170 Matt's Surprise(1/2)
"Dear guest, Viscount Leofric welcomes you," Viscount Leofric said in a hoarse voice as he slowly walked out and welcomed Elinor and others.
At this time, Elinor was also slightly stunned. It was said that Viscount Leofric was also a strong man in the viscounty territory and had a good reputation. How come he is now a dying old man?
In his twilight years, he will fall down when the wind blows. This is how Elinor really feels about Viscount Leofric at this time.
"Sir Viscount, I believe you have read the letter from Mr. Marquis. If you have no objection, we will launch an investigation in the Viscount territory," Eileenor politely thanked the Viscount for his enthusiasm, and then went directly to the topic.
"Miss Elinor, this is the town of Trubrun. According to the sacred Alfred Code, everything here belongs to the Leofric family. There is indeed a crisis now, but we can solve it ourselves," Wu
Nila frowned slightly and said.
"Master Unilla, are you sure?" Elinor frowned, "I hope you can understand that this matter is related to the stability of the southern border of the kingdom, which is the responsibility of the Marquis.
If the Leofric family insists on doing this, out of respect for Alfred's Code, the Marquis is willing to guarantee the Leofric family's absolute dominance over the viscounty and give up the investigation of this incident.
But if an accident occurs and causes turmoil on the southern border of the kingdom, all responsibilities will be borne by the Leofric family themselves."
"You..." Unilla was speechless for a moment. He naturally understood how serious this matter was and could even threaten the safety of the Leofric family. Even if he was angry for a moment and had a ulterior motive, he could
How could you really refuse?
After all, if the Leofric family did something privately, as long as Leo rescued him in time, there wouldn't be much of a problem. At most, the reputation would be a little ugly, even if it really resulted in the loss of the viscounty, for Leo
Viscount Frick was severely hit, and the Leofric family is still the Viscount family in the Kingdom.
Even if one day the kingdom recaptures this viscounty, it will still be returned to the Leofric family. This is the kingdom's kindness to the nobles.
"Your Excellency, Unilla is ignorant and has offended something. I apologize for him," Viscount Leofric glared at Unilla fiercely, and then said politely to Elinor, "It was just a shock.
After seeing the Marquis, we were still very uneasy.
Since the Marquis asked you to come to investigate, we will naturally not stop him. This is the token of our Leofric family. With this token, you can come and go without any worries in the viscounty."
As he spoke, Viscount Leofric handed a simple purple-red token from his waist to Elinor. After hearing this, Elinor naturally suppressed her inner joy and took the order as if nothing had happened.
Card,
…
"Everyone, please calm down. Now our Viscount has brought in a big boss," someone advised the people around him in a low voice.
"Yes, I heard that they were people from the Marquis Territory. They were personally sent by the young Marquis. I don't know what they were doing to investigate." Soon, all kinds of news were half-true and half-false.
It spread in the huge town of Trubrun.
…
"Who is it? Now that the town of True Brunn is completely closed, we can't... It's Lord Alienor," a soldier shouted, suddenly recognizing the other party's identity, and felt uneasy in his heart.
The reputation of the Marquis's messenger Eleanor has already echoed in the town. She is a person that the viscount will be very afraid of, because behind her is a young overlord, the largest noble in the vicinity, Archmon.
Marquis De.
"We have something to go out of the city for. This is Viscount Leofric's token," Elinor raised the token in her hand slightly.
"Quick, quick, hurry up and open the door for Lord Eilenor," the officers guarding the city shouted hurriedly. They had already heard that Lord Eilenor had obtained permission from Viscount Leofric to enter the city.
Act freely within the viscounty.
His identity is unusual in the first place, and with the permission of Lord Viscount, how many people in the huge town of Trubrun dare to stop him?
"Sir Elinor, what is her background? Why does such a beautiful woman seem so scary?" A soldier murmured to himself.
"Scary? You haven't seen those legs, they are absolutely amazing. My God, do you think that noble Marquis..." A soldier said in a very vulgar manner, which immediately attracted a lot of people.
The whole room burst into laughter.
"That's a retinue of a seventh-level Fierce Lion Realm knight!" an officer snorted coldly, "Be careful if someone hears it, I'll chop you down with a sword."
"Level 7!" someone exclaimed, looking very shocked.
"Oh my god, the seventh level knight's retinue of the Fierce Lion Realm, just thinking about it makes me a little...excited! Lord Marquis is so happy." The soldier who spoke before sighed, but not many soldiers agreed with him.
…
Of course, after these people left the city, Eleanor and others also directed a group of people to advance along a remote path.
"Lord Eilenor, there is no one from the viscounty behind you," a soldier said respectfully. He had a thin face, but his eyes were particularly smart, as if reflecting the dark color. After some inspection, he came to a conclusion.
.
"Normally, if you rashly send someone to follow you, it will easily arouse the hostility of the Marquis. Viscount Leofric is not a fool, and of course he will not act like this." Elinor nodded lightly and said, "You guys retreat first."
"Sir, this is the mark they left," a man in black came out and pointed to a faint bell-like mark on the ground. The mark was very subtle and slightly vague.
When the man in black lowered his body, he took out a small bottle from his arms, shook it gently, and a faint black-red powder sprinkled down. Then, the original small bell mark turned into a small arrow and emerged.
And out.
This small arrow has three faint vertical bars cutting it.
"This direction is three thousand meters," the man in black said.
"These things of your Whisperers are so novel that it would be absolutely difficult for ordinary people to see them. Even if they do see them, they won't get any information." Eileen said with a chuckle, looking particularly impressed.
"These are the creations of the lord," the man in black said very humbly. As he spoke, the mark on the ground had completely disappeared.
"Okay, come here," Eileen said to the soldiers who had left before, and then led the team in the direction indicated by the arrow.
…
"Right here?" Matut said in surprise, looking at Owen in front of him, wondering why the other party would bring them to such a wooden house.
"Just wait," Owen said confidently. This was an abandoned safe house for their Whisperers, and it was a good choice to stay temporarily at this time.
"There doesn't seem to be much food here. It's hard to buy food in every small town nowadays. If we go to Quinte Town, we might not run out of food," Matut said with a frown.
"Don't worry, the food will be enough for us for a few days. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to enter the town of True Brunn soon," Owen said with a chuckle, with extremely strong confidence in his words.
"I really don't know how you can be so confident. That's the core town of the Viscounty, and it's not that easy to sneak in," Matut said with a wry smile. Although he knew that all of these people were elites, in this kind of situation
It's not of much use under the circumstances.
In the previous conversation, Matut could feel that these people actually did not have a good understanding of the town of Trubrun, and could even be described as unfamiliar. Where did they come from such strong self-confidence, even if they were
If you have extraordinary fighting power, you won't be so arrogant, right?
Is it too far-fetched to plan to capture the small town of Trubrun with just such a few people?
Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be some sound from all around, it was the sound of footsteps.
"No, it's the Kingdom's army." Matut jumped up like a reflex, his face changed drastically, "Is our plan known to others?"
"They are all soldiers wearing standard armor, they should be from the viscounty territory!" Spirit Wolf Morote's expression also changed drastically. The sound of these armors was really eye-catching.
Perhaps these standard armors will not worry the members of their adventure group in one-on-one situations, but once the number of people increases and the scale is formed, a thin layer of armor will form a terrifying advantage!
"Why are there no movements among your people?" The short-haired woman also said reproachfully, "If I had known earlier, it would be better for us to be on guard."
After all, it was Owen's men in black who were standing guard outside at this time. However, such a large team came so close and they heard it, and no news came in. This is too bad.
Just as he said this, a man in black walked in quickly.
This efficiency...
Matute had a bit of contempt. These people looked quite powerful. I didn't expect them to be so scientific. What's the use of reporting the traces at this time?
"Sir, Lady Elinor has brought someone here," the man in black reported respectfully.
Um?
Matut and the others' expressions froze, feeling a little uneasy. Listening to this, it seemed that the other party was with the visitor?
But here, there can be a large group of troops wearing the standard armor of the Kingdom of Fierce Lion Realm. They should only be people from the Viscounty Territory? But judging from what we have seen before, it is obvious that these people cannot be people from the Viscounty Territory.
But now, the viscounty is under full martial law. How could a regular team from the other side appear here?
For a moment, Matut and others felt confused and confused. This was really weird. Viscount Leofric would never welcome an outside team at this time.
Especially these soldiers, who are still wearing the fierce lion realm standard armor, this sound is really familiar to them.
The next moment, a tall horse with a fiery red body was seen dragging a tall woman. Behind it was a group of Lion Realm soldiers. Their hearing was correct.
"Lord Elinor," Owen said with obvious relief. Although everything was originally planned, Elinor is a key link. If there is a problem with this link, everything will collapse.
Therefore, even though he knew that the probability of an accident was extremely small, Owen was still worried. Although he had acted very calmly in front of everyone before, it was just to avoid affecting morale.
"Okay, according to the plan given to me by Shulton, I have brought people here, and now it's up to you to do your best," Eleanor nodded lightly. She also knew that the Whisperer was deeply influenced by Leo.
A lot of effort was put into it.
However, the performance of the Whisperers before was really not very good. Eleanor also knew that Shulton wanted to use this incident to make a name for himself this time and prove to other people in the Marquis that the Whisperers were not just about taking money.
of.
Especially for this plan, it is said that the Marquis personally reviewed it and confirmed the implementation of the plan. With this relationship, Elinor will naturally do her best to do it.
The next scene surprised Matut and others even more, because he saw many soldiers taking out the armor on their backs, which were all the standard armors of the Fierce Lion Realm.
"Don't be stunned, put it on quickly," Owen urged, looking at Matut who was still a little dazed in front of him.
Matut was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately, urging his men to act like this, and then looked curiously at Owen in front of him.
I saw Owen muttering with Elinor for a while, then turned to Matut and said, "Okay, Captain Matut, some non-essential members can follow them and leave the area first.
To be continued...
