Chapter 34 is a bit unacceptable! (5K)
…
As far as Matthew knows.
Zeller's position in the Lord's Mansion is the head of intelligence and adventurer-related affairs.
This person is deeply trusted by Rhaegar.
This can be seen from the fact that in the kidnapping of Sif, Rhaegar handed over the picketing of the traitor to Zeller.
And Zeller is also worthy of Rhaegar's trust.
He seldom appears in non-working places, but he can be inseparable from Rhaegar. As long as the owner of the Blood Banner appears, he can often find Zeller within ten steps.
It's been a long time.
So much so that there was even an extremely outrageous rumor in some small circles in Rolling Stone Town—some people said that Zeller was Rega's new love after he was betrayed by his wife and changed his orientation in a rage.
But Matthew felt that this was pure nonsense.
He didn't find even the slightest sign of a couple between the two.
not to mention.
From what Sif said, Matthew already knew that Zeller followed Rhaegar before the latter got married and had children. The two should have accumulated a pure and profound friendship during years of fighting side by side.
The person who fabricated that rumor was probably jealous of Zeller's transcendent status in the Lord's Mansion and his face that could bring disaster to the country and the people.
…
"Thanks for reminding."
Matthew put his hands together and murmured:
"So it's the lord's intention that Your Excellency's visit tonight?"
Zeller smiled softly:
"No, that's what I meant. Rhaegar was not happy to let a necromancer intervene in the intelligence work of Rolling Stone Town, but I convinced him."
Matthew gently squeezed the phalanx:
"what do you want to do?"
He heard what Zeller meant.
Zeller stretched his right hand into the sleeve of his left hand, and then there was a high-quality kraft paper envelope between his index finger and middle finger.
He put the envelope in front of Matthew, and said unhurriedly:
"This is the whole content of the intelligence, I will tell you while you read it."
Matthew didn't hesitate.
The envelope was not sealed, and when the red string on it was untied, several sheets of thin paper slipped out.
Matthew glanced roughly, and frowned slightly.
"It's tricky, isn't it?"
Zeller took a sip of cold **** water:
"It's fine if there is only one Scourge. I never thought that Rolling Stone Town would be targeted by three notorious evil organizations at the same time. The timing is too coincidental. I'm afraid that none of them organized Not even Brad would believe it."
Matthew looked at the three organizations mentioned in the intelligence that may attack Rolling Stone Town in the near future—
Scourge Order;
Brotherhood of Silver Frost;
Cult of Blight;
"What is even more ironic is that these three organizations have sent us threatening letters or letters of challenge in their respective names!
Even the approximate time and place of doing it are written clearly, what should I say?
Is it time to admit that the thinking of the current leader of the criminal organization is really unconventional?
Or should we feel that Lei Jia has been hiding his strength for so many years, so that the outside world has forgotten the tyranny and terror under the gentle appearance of the Blood Banner family? "
Zeller's speech rate is very flat and steady.
But when it comes to the last sentence.
Matthew felt a gushing anger.
"He does seem to regard himself as a member of the Blood Banner family?"
Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.
His eyes quickly scanned all the words.
not long.
Matthew knew everything.
“As you can see, the Southern Patriarch of the Scourge Order asked us to hand over the murderers who killed their members and pay 50% of the annual tax as an annual tribute, otherwise they will raze Rolling Stone Town to the ground;
The big boss of the "Silver Frost Brotherhood" asked us to hand over the two arsonists who are currently in Rolling Stone Town Prison, and to pay 60% of the annual tax as an annual tribute, and to provide the Silver Frost Brotherhood with a stronghold for training reserve players , in the end, they even asked us to send 50 women every year to solve marriage problems for their members;
As for the "Withering Cult", ah, they are the best at talking. As long as we get 30% of the tax, the request is only to let them destroy the forests you planted around the town. "
Zeller still has a gentle smile on his face:
"These robbers may know more about blackmail than the devil in purgatory."
Matthew's complexion is a bit serious:
"Can Rolling Stone Town deal with the invasion of three evil organizations at the same time?"
Zeller Expressway:
"Resisting invasion is fine, but controlling harassment is not."
Matthew understood in seconds.
The most troublesome thing when a territory encounters an evil organization is that the other party will not play the game of two armies against you.
If the opponent is determined to play harassment tactics with you regardless of loss.
A hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.
The law and order situation in the territory will take a turn for the worse in a short period of time!
Let's not talk about Rolling Stone Town, even a medium-sized city like Strom City dare not tell their chests that they will come and go.
Among the nearby cities, only Baiyan City and Jade Cangting have such strength.
"Two of the three organizations are targeting me, and the remaining one is inseparable from me."
Matthew pouted.
"It looks like this on the surface, but in fact, without you, they will all launch malicious attacks on Rolling Stone Town."
Zeller tapped the left and right knuckles with the tip of his right finger, and said briskly:
"It's better to say that you have resolved an attack from them for us,"
"And with you here, Rolling Stone Town's resistance to evil has increased a little bit, so you don't have to think about it—as long as you are a resident of Rolling Stone Town, you will be protected by the Blood Banner Family, and the Blood Banner Family will never compromise with evil."
Matthew nodded.
He believed Zeller's words.
"If it is said that the three major organizations' hands-on time was mentioned in their letter, then their number of members, position structure, and estimated military strength—where did these detailed data come from?"
Matthew pointed to the rows of numbers on the information and asked.
"That's the work of divination and spies."
Zeller explained:
"Where there is any change, there must be traces. In fact, before I received the letter, I had already ordered spies to collect information in surrounding cities. At that time, I found some clues-such a large number of people's movements cannot be done quietly. They Food, lodging, and equipment are needed."
Matthew looked at him curiously: "How did you think of sending people to investigate in other cities?"
Zeller patiently described:
"This is why I have to mention the **** case that I was entrusted by Rhaegar to investigate."
Matthew got some spirits:
"Have you found the mole?"
Zeller definitely said a name:
…
"Vic Bamer, known as Little Bamer, is the son of Old Bamer, one of the nine knights who fought with Rhaegar in purgatory.
Bamo Jr. is the same age as Sif. He looks like a very simple and honest little fat man. He has followed Sif since he was a child, and he regards himself as a follower, so he has a good relationship with her.
After he grew up, little Bamo was taken by his father to the manor in the west to train, and he had less contact with Sif.
In the spring of this year, he suddenly wrote a letter to Sif, inviting her to play in the countryside.
While on the way, something happened to Sif.
This guy or the mastermind behind him is very cunning, and set up many wrong options for me to track down.
Half a month had passed when I actually locked him in. When I sent someone to Old Bahmer's manor, I was only sorry to find that there was no one alive in the whole manor.
The original farmers, maids, gardeners, cooks in the manor, and even the whole family including Old Bahmer—all of them have become creations of trickery.
My people had to clean up the manor. I found some manuscripts of the magician in Little Bamer's bedroom, and I was basically sure that he was the culprit.
Honestly, I hugged little Bamer when he was born.
His honest appearance is too deceiving.
No one expected that he would come into contact with sorcery, and the first thing he did after becoming a sorcerer was to refine his father into a deceitful creature!
I heard that old Bahmer was very strict when training his son.
Perhaps this is where Bamo Jr.'s hatred comes from.
But he's a brute anyway.
It's a pity to let him run away.
It was when my people were looking for the whereabouts of Little Bamo that they accidentally learned that an evil organization was recruiting soldiers in Strom. This news became more comprehensive after I confirmed it through divination. Of course, the value of this information soon It was greatly reduced, because they directly issued the gauntlet. "
…
Zeller calmly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
At the end.
He seriously added:
"Old Bahmo is a very good person, loyal and brave, but he is too old, and Rhaegar and I are negligent. If we pay more attention to his recent situation, he may not be harmed by his rebellious son."
Matthew also had anger on his face:
"So, not only is that little Bamo still alive, but he may even return to Rolling Stone Town when the next three major organizations take action?"
Zeller nodded lightly:
"Theoretically, there is such a possibility, maybe he was the one who brought the Scourge here at the beginning, or maybe he was just the most suitable breakthrough for the Scourge to find in Rolling Stone Town.
But these don't matter anymore.
The important thing is how do we deal with it next?
Before sharing my solution.
I need your opinion. "
Matthew thought for a few minutes and replied:
"Since these three organizations sent letters of war separately, it shows that they are not monolithic internally. The best response strategy is to divide and break down one by one.
"Withered Cult" has the most concentrated targets, just make a fuss around the oak forest to lure them into the bait;
Isn't the "Brotherhood of Silver Frost" still have two arsonists in prison? Just find a suitable time to let them escape successfully. There is a high probability that they will go to the organization after they escape, and we can follow the clues;
I have no idea about the "Society Order". They dared to come to me after Finn's death, proving that they have the ability to fight against bone dragons. Warlocks are evil and hard to defend against. But one thing worth noting is that they are very concerned about the blood flag The blood of the family, so Sif and Rhaegar are the focus of protection, and they can also be used as bait to lure the snake out of the hole, but there are risks in doing so. "
Zeller showed a look of approval after listening:
"Your response and thinking are top-notch, and most of your ideas coincide with my plan in the "second phase". "
Matthew was a little surprised:
"Phase 2?"
"Yes, what you said, we will do it, but not now."
Zeller explained:
"At this stage, people from the three major organizations are estimated to be infiltrating in batches. At this moment, they must be extremely vigilant and not easy to take the bait.
Evil forces are gathering towards Rolling Stone Town.
Can be at the same time.
Our rescuers are on the way—
…
Only three of the nine knights who fought against Purgatory back then remained in Rolling Stone Town. One of them died, one retired, and only one was able to fight. The rest went outside to make contributions.
We have written to them for help, and these people will definitely come back as long as they receive the letter.
He also sent people to the east to find an old acquaintance of his, who was a monk whose strength was close to legend. With him, the safety of Rolling Stone Town would be more secure.
In addition, I also used my contacts to call a few old friends to come to help out. Even Mr. Richard couldn't help sending a letter to Beidi when he heard about it.
Look, our network is not weak, all we need is time. "
Matthew responded quickly:
"So your "Phase 1" plan is mainly to buy time? "
Ze ransomware bluntly:
"I want you to pretend to be Ronan Archmage!"
Matthew was taken aback.
He immediately nodded and said:
"It's not impossible."
At this time.
Peggy, who had been eavesdropping for some time, finally poked her head out from under the windowsill:
"Won't Ronan be unhappy when he finds out?"
Zeller and Matthew answered almost simultaneously:
"Won't!"
"Maybe he'll find it funny."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
We chatted in detail for more than an hour.
When the night is dark.
Matthew left from Zeller.
The two walked on the gravel road in the garden.
Zeller, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back with a smile and said:
"Mr. Matthew, please forgive me for playing a little trick in order to gain your trust at the beginning of the conversation - the story about the awakening of the warlock is not my own, but I heard it from another warlock friend of.
I deliberately made myself miserable, so as to arouse your sympathy and pave the way for persuading you, but now it seems that this is unnecessary, you are the kind of person I like. "
Matthew was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's good if you don't, at least you haven't actually experienced such a miserable thing, which is a good thing."
Zeller's eyes shone with a strange brilliance:
"You are such a strange necromancer, your kindness is heartwarming.
Sorry again that I lied to you earlier.
But speaking of misery, my awakening experience was actually much more miserable than my friend's. "
As he spoke, he came to the fence and closed the gate gracefully:
"It's just my story, which I won't tell until I die."
"Good night, Matthew."
…
After sending Zeller away.
Matthew sorted out the information gained tonight in the living room.
Then he rushed back to the oak forest to watch the scene without stopping.
He has to talk to Eli about the "Wither Order".
The Blighter is the druid's nemesis.
About this organization, Eli must know much more than himself.
But before that.
Matthew went to the cabin and summoned A Bing.
After a week of hard work.
He has already accumulated the capital for another "Ten Consecutive Draw".
Now the crisis is approaching.
It is the time when immediate combat power is needed.
So Matthew threw all the strengthening times on A Bing.
…
「Reminder: You have consumed 10 reinforcement times, your summoned object "A Bing" has been upgraded to LV12, and its comprehensive attributes have been improved!
…
Your summon "A Bing" has obtained 7 keywords, 2 of which are "white", 1 is "blue", 2 are "purple", and the remaining two are "grey"! "
…
"Not so lucky."
Matthew sighed softly.
Two grays are really confusing.
He glanced over.
As usual, first look at the blue sky and white clouds.
…
「Backstab (White): When your skeleton attacks from behind the enemy, its damage and weapon stiffness are greatly improved.
…
Sprint (White): The movement speed of your skeletons in battle is greatly improved.
…
Storm combo (blue): When your skeleton uses a short knife as a weapon and successfully hits the enemy's vitals, it will be able to make a second and third combo in a very short time. This process will cause a lot of damage "
…
The quality of the blue sky and white clouds is surprisingly good.
Not particularly strong.
But the win is solid and useful.
"At least it's not farming skills and cub feeding after all."
Matthew next looked at the purple entry.
…
"Colorful Dance (Purple): When your skeleton uses this dance, it can leave an afterimage wherever it goes. During the dance, no matter what position and state it is in, it can return instantly The location of the afterimage.
The maximum number of afterimages that can be left at present is: 4
…
Fake Death (Purple): Your skeleton has learned superb tricks to cheat death, which is enough to deceive the world in most situations;
And when your skeleton cancels the fake death status, his next three normal attacks will cause a lot of extra damage.”
…
"The painting style is finally back to normal!"
Matthew felt very relieved.
One of these purples provides super high mobility, and the other provides a sinister ultimate move.
Although I don't understand how the skeleton cheated death.
But if you want to come to Ah Bing, there is naturally a way.
See here.
Matthew thinks that as long as the next two gray keywords are not too bad.
Itself is acceptable.
…
「Same hands and feet (gray): In the non-combat state, your summoned soldier, Bing, has developed the bad habit of having the same hands and feet without knowing it.」
…
"This one is okay."
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the next second.
His face changed slightly.
…
「Working Consciousness (Gray): Your skeleton has the consciousness that it is creating value for you. This consciousness is not strong, even a little humble.
Every 3 months, you need to pay 1 soul crystal as appeasement, which will give it a great incentive. "
…
"This... is a bit unacceptable!"
Matthew subconsciously put his hands on his head.
A Bing next to him stared blankly at him.
After a while.
Surprisingly, he also hugged his head with the palm of his bone.
The scene was funny and weird.
Eli flashed out from behind the house, staring at Matthew seriously:
"What is your posture? What evil creature do you want to summon in front of me?"
…
