Chapter 90 Loving the People and Doing His Responsibilities
Earl Malcolm Black immediately shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Lord Mayor, this matter is done extremely covertly, and it is done in the name of the Hoffy Brotherhood. No one can detect it. In addition, it belongs to We will convert your share into gold certificates from the Royal Bank of the Kingdom of Clay and send them to your hometown. It can be said that God does not know it and the ghost does not know it." Hearing this
sentence, Malcolm immediately felt relieved.
What he was most worried about was the problem of funds. Unexpectedly, Earl Black was still very young and could do things well.
Although he thought so in his heart, there was a look of helplessness on his face, and he sighed: "Money or something is not what I am pursuing. I just hope that through some food, I can exchange for peace in the Woluo Valley. Although there is suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, to be honest, this is the minimum price. After all, our Volo Valley is far behind the Grizzly Fortress. They can't stop the evil orcs, so how can we face them head-on? Enemy?"
"That's right. The mayor thinks wholeheartedly about the people of the Volo Valley, and others don't understand. But we, the native nobles, deeply feel the mayor's deep love for our Volo Valley." Blake echoed the earl.
Although he is a count, after all, Malcolm is the local governor and is in charge of the city hall's finances and various military expenditures.
Facing the God of Wealth, even if he is an earl, he must not spare the face he deserves.
Seeing the convoy passing through the Odo Canyon in an orderly manner, Malcolm took a large cloak handed by the attendant, lightly stamped his feet and said, "Okay, I have to leave too. Cabinet Field will personally inspect the border defense these days. , in order to cope with the Fel Orcs' winter offensive and improve morale at the same time. I want to report to him before he reaches the front line. Of course, I will also mention in front of him the efforts made by you nobles in defending the Volo Valley. But the premise is that there must be no trouble during this period. As long as we can successfully pass the cabinet master and annual inspections, and ensure that the evil orcs do not dare to get involved in the river valley, the military expenditures we can get next year will hit a new high."
Bligh Earl de nodded slightly and thanked Malcolm: "Well, thank you, sir."
"You're welcome, Earl." Malcolm nodded slightly in response. Then, he waved goodbye to Brad, and then, led by his attendants, walked down the high slope, climbed into a carriage, and left from another road.
Looking at the leaving figure of Malcolm, Earl Brad looked disdainful and sneered: "Huh, this sanctimonious hypocrite. He obviously loves money to death, but he pretends to love the people and do his duty. It really makes me feel... Disgusting."
The attendant on the side came over and said softly: "Sir, I just got the news that the people sent to monitor Lord Saltin have disappeared in the Demonized Forest."
Brad was stunned for a moment: "Not one of them. Didn't come back?"
"Well, the last time I contacted them was ten days ago." The attendant nodded and said softly: "This Lord Saldin seems to have a list of our last transaction, and now he is photographed to monitor him. People are missing again. Are there any hidden dangers? Mayor Malkan is not willing to hear this news."
Brad pondered, shook his head and said: "Now is the time for the inspector to enter the river valley. Stability is the first priority. .Even if we want to touch him, it will never be now. Moreover, I feel that Lord Sardine is not interested in our affairs. If he really wants to expose it, he should also tell his boss, Viscount Alex . That old guy has the same virtue as his teacher, Earl Martin. If he had received the news, Mayor Malcolm would never have appeared here calmly today." "Then what should we do?" the attendant asked softly
.
"Pretend that nothing has happened." Earl Brad said calmly: "The people we sent out were originally to test his strength. Now that they have been killed by him, it means that he is definitely not an easy person. What we do is nothing more than I'm just asking for money, so there's no need to provoke such people."
At this point, Brad looked at the food that was being shipped out of the canyon in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Dealing with supervision and northern transactions is the top priority now, other things , Let’s wait until next spring when the flowers bloom.”
“Understood, sir.” The attendant bowed and said.
The attendant took half a step back and suddenly frowned, as if he smelled something.
Brad noticed the change in the attendant's expression and immediately turned back to look at him.
The attendant looked back at Earl Brad and pointed him in a direction with his eyes.
Brad nodded slightly and quietly lifted his clothes.
On his waist, ten flying blades glowing with magic light were suspended above his belt.
The next moment, five flying blades suddenly flew out of his arms and flew rapidly towards the direction of the attendant's eyes. Only a few loud bangs were heard, and those magic flying blades actually made a burst of explosions.
The place where the flying blade attacked was filled with dust, and even the earth seemed to shake.
At the same time as Brad was attacking, the attendant let out a strange cry of "Ouch", and his originally bronze skin instantly grew white hair, and his body grew wildly, transforming into a giant white ape.
He jumped to the place where the magic flying blade exploded. His hands were like the side of a hill, hammering down violently.
Along with two screams, five figures quickly flew out of the dust.
The giant ape followed closely behind, with a bloody corpse in each of his hands.
"Don't let them escape!" Earl Brad ordered loudly.
Suddenly, the surrounding attendants, including the guards escorting the grain truck northward, were immediately alerted.
These five figures were all wearing combat leather armor and had cloaks covering their faces. They were all more or less injured after being suddenly attacked by Earl Brad and his attendants.
One person's upper body was bloody from the explosion, and he had to be helped by someone nearby to prevent him from falling.
Under Earl Brad's order, they were now surrounded, and several people had taken out magic weapons and chanted spells at them.
Including the giant ape who had just taken action, he also put down his body and attacked the five people again.
Seeing that the five people were about to encounter a powerful siege again. The man whose upper body was blown to pieces managed to take out a scroll from his arms, wiped his blood on the scroll, and muttered something.
Seeing this situation, Earl Brad shouted again: "Stop him quickly! He wants to use life as a catalyst to use the teleportation scroll."
However, it was impossible to stop it at this time. The energy burned by life was too powerful, and it only took a moment. In the blink of an eye, the five people disappeared on the spot.
There was only a burnt circle left where they stood.
The attendants stopped their attack and looked at Earl Brad with some fearful expressions.
Earl Brad's face was livid, and he was obviously extremely angry.
Such a secret thing was actually eavesdropped.
"Check the two corpses left behind for me to see who they are. There are even teleportation scrolls. In addition, in the entire Woluo Valley, we have to dig three feet into the ground to find them!" Earl Brad
said He ordered through gritted teeth.
At the same time, in the northeastern part of the Soul-Splitting Castle in Sardin Manor, four lying figures suddenly appeared on a teleportation circle, plus a charred body.
