Chapter 610 The Bourne Emerging
Sometimes things in the world are so helpless, the more you hate and fear, it happens to all come together. As soon as Henry returned to the Geralt family, he immediately received a report from Antlaib that Liloa, who had broken bones all over his body, had disappeared. To be precise, he should have disappeared out of thin air.
Under the guard of several elite assassins, she suddenly evaporates from the world inexplicably, without any trace of movement, nor the fluctuation of spells or divine arts, which makes her scalp numb strangely. What’s even more unfortunate is that the first mother of the first family, Adu (Lace), is planning to hold a meeting and ask all the mistresses of the ruling families to attend.
This is simply forcing Henry to do it right away. You know, Mother Xingdra was hacked to death a few days ago, and the corpse had been fed to the troll. The successor, Liluoya, is now alive and dead, and can’t even find a temporary substitute. Apart from immediately starting a war, there is really no other way. At the moment when a sharp color flashed in his eyes, he was about to start directly, a loud noise suddenly came from the door.
“Your Excellency, it seems to be Jarlaxle and the Dayet Independent Mercenary Corps under him.” Antlaib carefully reminded him after a glance.
Since discovering the disappearance of such an important prisoner, he has spent the past few days in panic and fear, for fear of seeing the entire city’s army concentrated at the gate of the Geralt family. You must know that the ferocious mistresses have always been merciless to men who dare to provoke the dominance of women. There is definitely one killing one, and two killing one pair.
Obviously, once the things they did in this family were spread out, they would undoubtedly be besieged by Uster Nassar. Don’t plan it at that time. It’s hard to say whether they can escape alive.
Henry took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then he rubbed his brows and whispered, “Let them come in. I just need to find out if anything major has happened in the last two days. In addition, let your people go and kill all the remaining priests. These guys are all right now. It’s a factor of instability, and I don’t want to be stabbed at a critical moment.”
Antlaib nodded softly: “Understood. I will do it now. But what about the messenger sent by the parliament? He is still waiting for our answer.”
“Tell him that the mistress will be there on time, and then halfway…” Henry squinted his eyes and made a throat cut gesture. He couldn’t think of a better way now, so he had to choose to kill people to delay the time. It doesn’t need to be much, just a few hours.
Since the end of the surface war, at least half of the power, including the chief mage Sidrex, has been destroyed. The mage tower is now basically in an unprecedented weak state, and it is the rescue of Alan. By the way, the best time to resolve the grievances with Chasma.
“Don’t worry, I promise this messenger will not live for ten minutes.” As he said, Antlaib bowed deeply and turned to leave. He knew very well that this was his last chance. If he messed up again, let alone the nobility title, he might not even be able to keep his current position.
Robert’s control principle for the Thieves Guild has always been loyalty first and ability second. On the premise of ensuring loyalty, capable people can always be promoted quickly, which is why the organization can grow as quickly as a snowball. The dark elf assassin team has a lot of capable guys, and a few of them are not very restless. They have been spying on this position for a long time, but they have never gotten a chance.
Competition brings progress. Competition brings vitality, and competition also brings a great sense of oppression. No one wants to fall from a height, and Antlaib, who has already tasted the taste of power, is even more reluctant. He swears secretly. Once you find the **** son of Liluo, you must definitely let him taste what life is better than death.
A few minutes later, Jarlaxle, dressed in a tight-fitting umbilical dress, came to Henry’s face. He took the initiative to take off his hat, and then sat down on the chair with an exaggerated expression: “Oh… my friend, you have done an incredible thing. The whole army of dark elves has been destroyed. The nobles and priests have all been killed, I am afraid it will be difficult for this city to recover within a few hundred years.”
Hearing these words, Henry’s face changed slightly, staring at the cunning mercenary leader in front of him for a few minutes, then chuckled and shook his head: “It seems that your information is very good. You know it so soon. But Uster Nazareth has no chance. It will be destroyed by me soon. It disappears completely from the world. How about, did I bring what I wanted?”
“Wow! It’s terrible. But you better be careful. My nose smells of conspiracy on you. It’s…very rich.” Jarlaxle fumbled in his pocket for a long time, and finally took out A sheet of parchment paper full of folds. “This is what you want. A pass to enter the Mage Tower can only be used once, and then it is completely useless.”
“Thank you, I think this is enough. In return, now the entire Geralt family warehouse is open to you. You can get all the weapons and armors as much as you can.” Henry didn’t hesitate after getting the pass. Be generous to the generosity of others.
Anyway, the things forged by the dark elves can’t be used on the surface at all. It’s better to take them out and give them to the mercenary leader to form a good relationship. Maybe they can still be used sometime in the future. As for those gold coins, jewels, and special magic items that he had already wiped out, it would not be cheap to outsiders at all.
Jarlaxle was so knowledgeable about this news, he couldn’t help being surprised. You have to know that this is all the inventory of a powerful family, if you sell it out, you can definitely earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Although the Dayet Independent Mercenary Corps has a great reputation, it is the first time that such a generous employer has encountered it.
He stood up excitedly and asked in a quick voice: “What is the specific number?”
“Hehe, there are not many armors, only a dozen full-length armors, less than two hundred helmets, and one hundred shields. There are more weapons, a lot of halberds, scimitars, long swords, etc., I haven’t counted them. It is estimated that there are at least two thousand handles…” Henry said indifferently a number that shocked the mercenary leader.
“Damn! There are so many. Oh… my God! It’s just a happy trouble, I have to find a way to get them all out.” Jarlaxle muttered, scratching his ears and shaking his cheeks. He was completely stunned by such a large amount of wealth, and even forgot the purpose of his trip.
Seeing this guy fidgeting, Henry knocked on the table and reminded: “If you need it, I can give you a pass for the Geralt family. I believe that before the news of the defeat is returned, the city gate guard will be I dare not stop it. But everything has a price. I don’t know what you can pay?”
He was very curious. Where did this mercenary leader’s news come from? Normally speaking. No matter what kind of espionage organization is, I am afraid that it cannot be so precise and efficient, unless…
“Hey, I just have a piece of information here, I believe you must be very interested.” Jarlaxle took out a note from his jacket pocket and put it on the table. There was a hint of playfulness on his face, as if he knew some secret.
“Oh? Are you so sure that I would be interested in this information?” Henry asked with a slightly wrinkled head. He didn’t open the note immediately, because the mercenary leader’s eyes were very abnormal, and he was completely in a posture to see through himself.
Jarlaxle supported the brim of his hat and laughed exaggeratedly: “Hahahahahaha! My friend. Open it and take a look. I want you to promise that this is definitely the information you need most. It’s incredible, son of Baal, the **** of killings. It’s so interesting to appear underground, isn’t it?.”
After listening to these words, Henry’s face instantly became gloomy, and even a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He resisted the urge to crush the guy in the preface, lowered his voice and asked, “Where did you get the news? Or ask another way, who gave you the information?”
“Why do you ask? Can’t I get information from my own hands?” Jarlaxle asked bluffing loudly.
This is his usual style, first of all tricks to confuse the other party. Then use the strange way of entanglement to launch a fatal blow. Few people can see through this kind of messy behavior, because at first glance they move around, there is no regularity at all.
But Henry is different. He could clearly feel a deadly conspiracy hidden behind those eyes, so he threatened without hesitation: “Ask one last time, who gave you your information, tell him his name and looks, otherwise we Between is the enemy. I think you should know how I deal with the enemy.”
“Okay, okay, don’t be so fierce, I just want to make a joke.” Jarlaxle immediately raised his hands to surrender. “Yesterday morning, a sneaky guy stuffed a piece of paper into my pocket. His back looks like a thief. And his behavior is incompatible with the dark elves, and it feels a bit similar to the humans on the surface. As for what it is called. Name. Sorry, I don’t know. I swear. All I know is this.”
He was really a little afraid of those scary eyes, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings. You must know that the entire Geralt family is now under Henry’s control. If there really is a conflict, I am afraid that the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group will really become history.
“I can get accurate information… I am a thief by profession… I act like a human being on the surface… I think I know who this guy is.” Henry’s mouth turned upwards with an evil smile.
There is no doubt that There will never be a second person besides Yoshimo who has been following Joan Erinikas. I really didn’t expect that he was still hiding in the city of Uster Nazareth, and he must be carrying out some important plan, and from the description just now, it is very likely that he is dealing with himself.
“Interestingly, an ace spy, a group of dark elf nobles around the corner, the first family forced into a dead end, the ignorant Aberdare and his party, the revengeful Chasma, plus the Geralt family under my control, The situation is really lively enough. In that case, let us play a game of life as a bet to see who is the final winner.” Henry’s eyes showed deep gazes, as if the whole person was Has become different.
He now has enough confidence to defeat any enemy, even if the opponent is a god. This is the consciousness of being a chess player, and it is completely out of the same level as those of the chess pieces that are still being manipulated at will on the chessboard. The entire main plane can become one of the few chess players, and they all have one thing in common, that is, they can face the gods…
