Chapter 34 Guessing

Chapter 34

Trigan didn't feel strange when he heard the Baron say this.

A senior professional, not to mention the little baron leader, even in the capital of Gilt, Karancis is a rare talent.

Especially this "Night Demon" is an assassin professional. If he cannot recruit him, he will have this terrible assassin living nearby, so he may have to open his eyes when he sleeps.

However, assassin is the most vigilant profession, so it is not easy to recruit.

"Sir Baron, I think it's hard." Telligan puts the difficulty first: "A high-level assassin is taboo to show up in public, and it's dangerous for you to meet him before he's completely sure of his intentions."

Lord Baron is a level 6 knight - Knight is not only the most basic aristocratic title, but also a professional name - in the eyes of ordinary people, this is certainly considered a strong man, but if Lord Baron is asked to face with a high-level assassin, it would be like putting the little white rabbit into the tiger's mouth. Whether or not it is eaten depends entirely on whether the tiger is hungry.

It is a basic etiquette to recruit a higher-level profession, and it is the basic etiquette to meet the Lord in person. Liu Bei recruited Zhuge Liang and visited the cottage three times. When recruiting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he became sworn brothers, claiming to live and die together.

If you just send someone to pass on the message, "Hey, come and be my subordinate." Of course, it's enough for a low-level profession like Trigan, but how can a high-level profession be treated like this? If you meet a narrow-minded high-level profession, it is possible to turn against you.

"Well, this is a problem." Baron Leicester touched the stubble on his chin, thought for a while, and then continued, "Okay, I have to think about this matter again. You are paying attention to the movement of the Shadow Guild. If you have any questions, come and see me immediately."

"As for the representative of the Shadow Guild, for the sake of the "Night Demon", you will bring him here tomorrow, and I will hear what he wants to say."

"As for the order, Lord Baron-Do you have any more instructions?"

"No more, you go down." Baron Leicester waved.

After facing the Baron three steps back, Telligan turned around and left the Baron's study.

This is a basic etiquette for the lower-ranking person to say goodbye and leave after meeting the superior.

The lower-ranking person must retreat one after another and set a distance from the higher-ranking person before turning around and leaving with the higher-ranking person.

This was originally a code of conduct formed to prevent assassins disguised as attendants from taking the opportunity of retreating, blocking their sight with their bodies, and secretly taking out weapons for assassination. Now, it has become a solidified aristocratic etiquette.

After Terligan left, the side door of the study opened and an old man with white hair walked out.

The Baron's study is also the Baron's office. In order to facilitate the baron's rest when he is tired, it is no secret that there is a lounge next to this study.

However, there are few people who are qualified to enter the Baron's study. There are no more than three people who are qualified to enter the Baron's lounge - two of them are the Baroness and the Baron's eldest son, and even the Baron's second daughter and third son are not qualified to enter the lounge.

"Uncle Kruel, you heard it all, what do you think?"

Kruel Wien is one of the orphans adopted by the deceased Baron's grandfather.

The leaders of the black snake and members of the black snake were adopted orphans. These children have been educated loyally since childhood and naturally became loyal to the Leicester family when they grew up.

And this Kruel Wien was severely damaged in a fierce battle when he was young and lost his fertility forever, so he regarded Baron Leicester as his child.

To some extent, the relationship between Kruel Wien and the contemporary Baron Leicester is even more close than that of the Baron Leicester's biological father.

"Sir Baron, you must be careful about the 'Night Demon'." Kruel's face was a little heavy.

"Uncle Kruel, have you heard of the 'Night Devil'?" Baron Leicester respected the old man quite seriously.

He trusted the old man even more than his wife.

"I haven't heard of this name, but as Tilligan's description reminds me of a person."

"Who do you think of, Uncle Kruel?" Seeing the old man's face so cautious made Baron Leicester a little nervous.

"Uncrowned Sword Saint-Avigh Solan, I hope it won't be her."

"What? You said that Avigh Solan, who is half orc blood and half elf blood? This is impossible. Hasn't she been moving in the south all the time?"

"That way of raiding and killing people is really too similar to her style," Kruel said with a frown.

Although Kruel spent most of his time serving the Leicester family, this does not mean that he had never gone out to study. In fact, most warriors have the experience of traveling around and taking risks everywhere. Otherwise, a frog in the well would not be able to cultivate a real strong man.

Kruel once saw this uncrowned swordsman take action thirty years ago.

It was the opening festival in the southern city of Helway.

At that time, the lord of Helway was Marquis Ethor, who was standing on the balcony and speaking to the people in the square.

It was very similar to what Tligan described. The uncrowned sword saint suddenly broke out of the wall. The Ice Blue Wind Sword instantly slashed six guard knights from behind, and then in full view of everyone, he slashed the head of the city lord of Helway City with one sword, and then turned around and escaped.

At that time, the incident happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned. No one expected that someone would dare to assassinate in public in front of everyone. So it was not until a long time before everyone realized that the uncrowned sword saint had already disappeared.

Later, the entire city of Dasuo, especially the building where Marquis Ethor spoke, was even turned over, but no one knew how the uncrowned swordsman sneaked in and escaped.

Until now, Helway City offers a reward of 50,000 gold coins for the uncrowned sword saint, which has been hanging on the taskbar of the Adventurers Guild for more than twenty-nine years, but no one has received it.

"A person like her cannot come to us in order to chase a mere assassin."

Baron Leicester shook his head. Although he trusted Uncle Kruel very much, this kind of thing was too ridiculous. He had been in charge of the territory for eight years, so he naturally knew that everything he did had a price and a benefit.

Please touch people like Ives Solan just to kill a Defoe Priligy?

This pays too high and the returns are too low.

"I'm not saying that the 'Night Demon' is Avigh Solan himself, but I'm just saying that he may be related to Avigh Solan. Lord Baron, when you meet that Khruv tomorrow, I will find a way to let me meet the 'Night Demon'."

"Is this - is there any danger?" Baron Leicester was a little worried. Although Kruel was once a level 8 Dark Night Walker, he is already old now, and even in his heyday, he may not be able to resist the "Night Demon".

"Sarri, I'm not going to fight with that 'Night Demon'. I just want to test his purpose of coming here - I can't feel at ease if I haven't seen this person with my own eyes."

Surrey Leicester is the current Baron of Leicester.

"Then--will I send someone to protect you?"

"If there are too many people, the other party will not agree to meet; don't worry, my old man is not worthy of the high-level assassin's attack."

Kruel laughed.

"Then let Tligan go to meet the 'Night Demon' with you. He is a level 7 sword and shield warrior and has a good defense ability. If there is a real accident, if he drags him, you will have a great chance of escape. Moreover, since the Night Demon did not kill him at that time, he should not take action this time."

Baron Leicester was still worried and decided to add another layer of insurance to Uncle Kruel.

As for Telligan, hehe, can the subordinates who have been investing halfway through the journey compare with their own relatives?

————————————

The next day, the former Xavier Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter.

"End, the three of them are the representatives of Wall Village." Xavier brought the three of them to Ender.

"Mr. Ender, we have seen all your archery skills at Harvest Festival. Your archery skills are so powerful that you will definitely become a big shot in the future."

The three villagers, the oldest, looked older than Xavier, and the other two were middle-aged men who looked stronger. The speaker was the oldest.

If someone cares most about who the position of guard hunter falls into, it is the people from Wall Village.

So the representatives of Wall Village watched Ender's assessment throughout the whole process - they also paid attention to the other two candidates' competitions, but Ender was the final winner.

Ander nodded, but said nothing, just looked at the three villagers and waited for them to continue talking.

"Ande, Lord Andde, this is the offering of our village this year." The villagers are simple and simple. They don't play with vain, so they just take out their money. A brand new deer-skinned wallet contains thirty gold coins, which is no longer a small number for a village.

"Well, I received it. I will continue to follow the rules left by Mr. Xavier in the future." Ender poured out the gold coins and counted them, then put them in the purse and put them away, saying with satisfaction.

The monthly income of the Guard Hunter is only three gold coins, and these thirty gold coins are already the income of Ende in almost a year.

Seeing that Ende received the money and nodded, the three villagers felt relieved.

The leaders generally have a sense of awe for the superiors. Although the guard hunter is not a real superior, he is in charge of various production in the woods. If he really wants to make things difficult for the villagers, as long as the villagers are prohibited from entering the woods, the villagers will have a hard time.

"But in addition to that, you need to send two people to help me on duty for one day every week. I have to go back to town to handle some things." Ender thought for a while and added.

"Ah! OK, okay, don't worry, we will help you on duty!"

The oldest villager agreed immediately.

This was an additional request. Ander originally thought that these villagers might bargain, but he did not expect that the villagers in the lead agreed immediately. Looking at his expression when he spoke, he seemed to have a good look of finding a cheap one.
