Chapter 105 Anya’s Diary
Two days later, in the open space outside the Endless Tower.
"The first task we are assigned is to investigate the movements of the Principality of Xihe, especially their actions against this territory. At the same time, we also need to look for opportunities to assassinate the Duke of Xihe. Next, I will explain the specific personnel arrangements. ..."
Anya held her hands and gave orders to the dark elves lined up in front of her.
When Anya was captured by Dolan Siloni, the dark elves left in the Endless Tower were immediately leaderless, and were quickly captured by the golems led by Zhenna and Isabel.
After successfully persuading Anya to surrender, Ganorn also tried to let the remaining dark elves make a choice.
The remaining people, including the three spies who were sent first, a total of fifteen people, finally chose to accept the [Prisoner Contract] and stay with Anya.
People who have received "Maze" training have been more or less brainwashed to a certain extent and will not betray their family easily.
But when Anya chose to leave, she also carefully selected the people she took with her.
Those who are very loyal to their family and deeply influenced by their family's glory find it difficult to accept leaving the family and following them. Therefore, except for some people who have followed her for a long time, she selected subordinates with a strong sense of autonomy.
This type of subordinates are less loyal, but relatively easier to mobilize.
Facing Anya who was trying to break away from the family, and Dorancelone who suddenly appeared, these people quickly assessed the situation and changed their stance.
Moreover, in this incident, these people unexpectedly learned that the "Mr. Messenger" who controlled the family behind the scenes was actually a blue dragon.
In this case, there is actually not much difference for them between returning to the family and accepting the command of a blue dragon from behind, and being dominated by a red dragon here.
Moreover, they already know family secrets that they should not know. It is unknown how they will be deployed and handled after returning.
In the end, facing the fifty-year contract offered by the Red Dragon, they all chose to accept it temporarily.
So Ganon has his own dark elf intelligence team, led by Anya.
Anya assigned the tasks assigned by the red dragon to her subordinates and ordered them to disband.
Nearly half of the people received their luggage and horses under the leadership of the golem, and they will go to the Principality of Xihe to perform tasks. Ganon is not worried about these people escaping. Even if they leave the territory, the [Prisoner Contract] can still restrict their movements.
After they were dismissed, Zyra stepped forward and talked to Anya: "Mistress."
"I won't listen to you if you complain. Even if I apologize to you, it's meaningless." Anya just glanced at Zyra.
The people here fell into the hands of the red dragon. Ultimately, it was because Anya planned to break away from the family behind their backs, and the key was that she failed.
"No, I don't actually have too many complaints against you. The family is now dominated by such a force, and I can understand your approach." Zyra replied calmly, then carefully approached Anya and lowered her voice and said, "I just want to Let me hear your judgment. How trustworthy do you think the red dragon is?"
"It's dangerous to speak like this. The red dragon might be looking at us." Anya also lowered her voice.
"I'm sorry, but I really want to talk to you about this matter. Everyone is very uneasy right now." Zyra said.
Although they accepted the red dragon's contract, the dark elves were still a little worried about the red dragon's control.
Ordinary dragons sometimes choose to enslave some humanoid creatures to work for themselves, such as using slaves to gain information about the civilized world.
However, due to the cruelty and capriciousness of the dragon, these slaves are often precarious. Not to mention making mistakes or doing things poorly, the master may be in a bad mood one day and will stab them for no reason to vent his anger.
Although Zyra can also see that this red dragon is different from the giant dragon in their common impression, they still don't know what its true appearance is.
After all, the result of their previous repeated investigations has been confirmed to be performed by Red Dragon.
"I am also waiting and watching, and now we can only wait and see." Anya let out a long breath, "Let everyone keep an eye out, observe the situation more, and sort out the information when we gather every day." "I understand."
Zyra Replied.
After sending Zyra away, Anya turned back to the Endless Tower, took out her notebook, and made a simple note in a personal code that only she could decipher.
After accepting Ganon's contract, while working for Ganon, she began to observe the red dragon carefully.
The strength of the [Prisoner's Contract] is at the level of an artifact. Unless something unexpected happens to the Red Dragon one day, they can only live under the control of the Red Dragon for the past fifty years, and they are unable to change the status quo under the constraints of the contract.
How the red dragon treats them determines their future destiny. Only by carefully understanding the true face of this red dragon can they make reasonable responses.
Ganon didn't seem to mind the wait-and-see attitude of these dark elves. Although they were slaves, in order to allow them to carry out their intelligence collection work, he basically allowed the dark elves to move within the territory, and could leave the territory to perform tasks with permission. However, They are not allowed to contact the elves of late summer rashly.
Anya flipped through the notebook. On the pages here, she opened a new independent investigation record against Ganouen.
The beginning of this record reads:
"I opened this new record to urge myself not to let down my guard, and to investigate the true identity of the red dragon Ganon..."
Then there are the reports about Ganon's behavior in the past two days. Record:
"On July 13th, we played cards.
On July 14th, we played cards."
There was very little content in the record. This was because Anya could not keep tabs on Ganouen 24 hours a day, and at the same time she was very jealous of Ganouen. Be vigilant and avoid unnecessary direct contact at all times.
In addition, she directly omitted the recording of physiological needs such as eating and sleeping (sleeping took up most of the red dragon's day). Finally, she found that when she took the time to observe the red dragon in the mornings of the past two days, the red dragon was all He was playing board and card games with the two princesses, sometimes in the study room and sometimes in the restaurant.
Next to these two records, she made some fragmentary notes in small print, including the types of board and card games, as well as some details when the three of them played.
Ganon seems to like a few very special card games. These games are not even recorded in the intelligence collected by "Maze" on various countries, and are something Anya has never heard of.
Anya speculated that the rules of those board and card games were created by Red Dragon and were designed in a very orderly manner.
The two princesses didn't seem to be there to entertain Ganouen. They were very involved in playing chess and cards, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good.
No, that might be the result of training.
The record of the card game on July 14th took place in the closed study. At that time, Anya just eavesdropped on the sound while pretending to pass by.
At that time, she also heard the voice of the elf princess, mentioning something like "taking off your clothes if you lose".
Maybe, that kind of chess and card game is also a training method for Red Dragon.
More in-depth investigation is needed, Anya thought and closed the note.
In the next two days, she continued to observe and record Ganouen -
"July 15th, playing cards.
July 16th, Anya, Anya! This can't go on like this, the investigation has made no progress at all. Start recording. Have you forgotten the original intention? You must find a way to dig out more information!
July 17th, play cards."
On the 18th day of July, Anya passed by the stairwell of the tower and glanced at the people gathered in the restaurant. The three people who came together came to the hall, took out their notes, and wrote down today's observation record of Ganouen in cipher text:
"July 18th, playing cards."
After standing there in silence for a long time, Anya covered her forehead.
Does this red dragon only know how to play cards?
Apart from playing cards, the only behaviors she could observe were eating, sleeping and sunbathing. To put it simply, this red dragon almost always lived a happy life in its own territory.
Ganon operates farms and pastures in his territory, which are managed by several Late Summer druids. The yield seems to be quite high, which means he does not need to hunt at all on weekdays. With the [Watcher] present, he does not need to specialize. Patrol the area surrounding the Tower of Infinity.
The maintenance and management of the tower are basically left to the butler golem.
Zhenna and Isabel will also help take care of some things.
Zhenna will help manage the former captives from the Xihe Principality, assigning them the tasks of taking care of farmland and repairing towers, recording the conditions of these people, and formulating a system to implement rewards and punishments.
Isabel was responsible for handling many liaison matters with Mu Xia. Anya saw her more than once receiving the messenger eagle flying from Mu Xia, and then replying on Ganon's behalf.
As for Lord Ganon, it seems that he is basically only responsible for the security of the territory.
When the territory was not under direct threat, he basically had nothing to do and lived idlely - to a certain extent, this was very similar to Anya's previous investigation.
Could it be that the red dragon is acting again? Anya couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
The Red Dragon should have been observing the newly acquired Dark Elf troops these days, so he basically did not leave the territory, but within the territory, he actually no longer had the need to hide himself from them.
After observing them for a while longer, Ganon should begin to increase their outing activities.
But when Ganon was out, Anya couldn't actually observe him. She couldn't leave the territory privately.
"Looking at this red dragon to investigate, I can't find out the reason at all. The two princesses have much more information to write about than him." Anya thought like this and closed the note again.
Hey, wait, why not start investigating from that princess!
Anya suddenly changed her mind.
If she kept a distance and observed like this, she wouldn't be able to get much useful information at all. She had to muster up the courage to take the initiative to contact him.
But considering that Ganouen may have superb training skills, Anya still feels that the risk is a bit high to directly contact him.
It is undoubtedly the most reasonable to start with the two princesses who are the results of training!
Anya made up her mind.
