Chapter 74 Evidence
"It's you?" The man in black said his last words, and his head soared into the sky. The secret room was not big. The bloody head hit the roof of the secret room and then bounced on the ground twice before it stopped moving. When the man's head stopped rotating, his body that had lost his head was shaking. After a loud bang, he fell heavily to the ground.
"Now, find his nameplate. This kind of temple envoy will use the nameplate to record his position and destroy it. In this way, the other party will die in Loux's mansion. Even if you don't do it, the temple's people will not let him go." Zero had been the pope, so he knew very well about some common methods of the temple. Gui Chou started to touch the waist of the secret envoy and found the nameplate that Zero said.
But the nameplate did not have any magic fluctuations, it was just a very ordinary iron plate. This time it was not only a ghost and ugliness, but even Zero was surprised.
"Strange, when did the temple get so poor? Is this guy a fake using an ordinary iron plate as a nameplate?" As for Zero's words, Gui Chou said undeniably: "No matter whether it is true or not, since it has been found, those few will just destroy it directly." After saying that, Gui Chou used force on his hand. The iron plate was very thin, but he didn't know what material it was. Gui Chou twisted the iron plate hard and did not move at all. Gui Chou knew how much power he used, and 50% of the power could not shake it. This iron plate must be not an ordinary product.
He tried hard again, this time Gui Chou used all his strength directly, and finally saw the results. Gui Chou also discovered that this iron card actually began to emit magic elements outward!
"It should be mixed with mitr silver, which is the metal with the strongest affinity with magic elements, but is it too extravagant to use it as an iron card?" Ling, who had completely forgotten that he was still sarcastic about the poor temple just now, immediately changed his face. Gui Chou was surprised after hearing Zero's words, but this also proved that the other party was indeed a person from the temple. No matter what purpose he was for, he did not kill the wrong person.
In fact, whether it is Kale or Gui Chou, they all know very well that the relationship between them and the temple will never be calm. This not only means that the fifth prince who is fighting for the throne rises by relying on the power of the temple, but also because both of them clearly realize that the existence of the temple is like a sore that has to exist in the empire. This sore absorbs the blood and nutrition of the empire, but never heals, but becomes more and more intense. However, the sore has penetrated into the bone marrow. In order to cure it, in addition to external treatment, it also needs to be cleaned internally, otherwise everything will return to its original erosion.
So when Gui Chou saw the man in black and learned the identity of the man from Zero's mouth, he immediately killed the other party. Gui Chou made a clean and neat move, and an ice blade cut off the other party's head directly, without giving the other party a chance to react and fight back. It is precisely because of this that Gui Chou has enough time to think about how to deal with the problem.
"There is only one purpose for the temple at this time. We should delay our pace as much as possible. As long as we pass this spring, survive the spring plowing, or let our aid grain be distributed in advance, then their goal will be achieved. A medium-sized province has specially sent people to lobby. It can be seen that the temple has put in a lot of effort, just like when intercepting the 10th Guards."
Gui Chou then collected the property on his body and unexpectedly found that this guy had a lot of valuable things on his body. There were three space rings alone. Although the space was not large, there were a few jewelry of good quality inside. Zero estimated that the value of these jewelry should be tens of thousands of gold coins.
"It's a pity that there is nothing that can indicate the identity of this person. A small priest would definitely not have so much money. His status should be quite good. How could he come to this maple leaf to escape secretly? By the way, his iron card..." Gui Chou looked at the iron card that was thrown in the corner by himself. With all his strength, the iron card had been twisted into a twist, and the magic elements inside had stopped overflowing. It should be that the elements stored in it had been released, and it should be a piece of scrap iron. However, Zero's reminder reminded Gui Chou that it was mixed with mitril silver, and the value of mitril silver seemed to be higher than that of gems.
Zero's reminder was exactly the same, but Gui Chou did not move, just staring blankly in front of the corpse, thinking about other things.
"Let this thing be put here. Things you haven't recognized are not necessarily safe to wear on your body. There are so many ways to do it. If you find yourself on your head because of this little thing, wouldn't it be unfair?"
After hearing this, Zero thought it made sense. He was right as the pope, but that was also something that happened many years ago. He knew that if there were temple envoys, he would wear nameplates. The nameplate in front of him was obviously completely different from what he thought. He did not sense the mystery of this nameplate at the first time. It was precisely because of this that it suspected that this person was a fake temple envoy who came specifically to blackmail Loux. If it weren't for Gui Chou's attempt, even Gui Chou would have thought so.
It has to be said that the Mitsunian was melted into ordinary iron cards and did not reveal magic elements to the outside at all. This is something that Zero had never heard of in his lifetime. Even Goron did not teach it this knowledge. Magic has improved with time. Now Zero has completely felt that what he knew seems to be a bit outdated.
Therefore, it agrees with Gui Chou's words. According to its understanding of the temple, the temple must have considered the ending of the death card of this person. So how to do it next is too many methods, and Gui Chou chose not to move, because neither of them knew what the temple would do on this small card that was as big as a palm.
"Okay, take away all the things you can use, it's time to go back and see Loux." After Gui Chou finished cleaning up, he carefully checked whether there were any traces left on his body. After checking all of them, Gui Chou turned around and left the secret room. At the door of the secret room, the few people who were controlled by zero were still in a daze. Gui Chou thought about it but still didn't plan to take action. With these people next to him, he should be safer.
In their consciousness, no one except Loux had entered this secret room. So as long as someone discovers the death of the temple secret envoy, the first thing he thinks of is himself. However, they have no evidence, and as long as there is no evidence, no one dares to find fault with him.
After walking out of Loukes' room, Gui Chou left a long way before he let Zero remove his control over the guards, and then returned to the hall. Seeing the villain following him standing behind Loukes with a look of fear, Loukes and Feng Lun were still discussing the issue of aid. Gui Chou couldn't help but feel surprised. Such a simple thing, why did Feng Lun discuss with Loukes for so long?
"Mr. Feng Lun, we have a hard time traveling to maple leaves..."
"Mr. Loux, I believe I understand everything, but..."
"Sir Feng Lun, we have to save our maple leaves from the hardships..."
Curiously, Gui Chou listened carefully for a while, but after listening, his face became extremely strange. Because he was thinking about something else, he did not pay attention to what Loukes and Feng Lun said. But now it seems that Zero is crazy, it is understandable.
"Now I know, how did these two guys torture my ears? Although I heard it through your ears, I really felt that you were out, otherwise I would go crazy!" The voice of Zebu Yinbu Wuyang sounded, and Gui Chou couldn't help but smile bitterly but didn't respond. He just sat down slowly and watched the two people in front of him repeating the unnutritional words back and forth.
But what surprised Gui Chou was that when Feng Lun saw him come back, his previous perfunctory response immediately disappeared. This sudden change not only made Gui Chou stunned, but even Loukes on the opposite side could not adapt for a while.
"Mr. Loukes, our time is tight, and your request is not reasonable. All we can provide is eight hundred dans of grain and two hundred dans of seeds. If you don't accept this, you can ask someone to discuss it, or you can submit these to the emperor. As long as you get the emperor's approval, you will naturally give you enough compensation after we come back."
The tough tone made everyone present stunned, but the most shocking thing was Loux, because the first thing the old man opposite him said was to ask him to discuss it, but he was the lord of the Maple Leaf Province. According to common sense, there should be no one to discuss.
Loukes's face suddenly became a little ugly. The envoy of the temple was still waiting for his negotiation results in his secret room. Feng Lun's words were obviously meaningful. Loukes smiled awkwardly, with sweat on his forehead covered with sweat, obviously losing his inch.
"Sir, Maple Leaf Province..." Loukes secretly raised his anger. Just as he was about to use the same trick again, he saw Feng Lun wave his hand and said, "Loukes, I hope you can remember what I said carefully. For the quantitative measurement of Maple Leaf Province, we will finally finalize it before nightfall tonight. We will go back to the inn first, and hope you can give an answer as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be out of date!"
After saying that, the old man actually got up and left. Gui Chou was a little stunned by what he said, but when he saw that he left, Gui Chou naturally would not follow him. What medicine is sold in this old man? He has to ask clearly first.
After leaving the gate of the city lord's mansion, Feng Lun's steps did not stop. He turned around and asked Gui Chou with breathlessness, "How are you dealing with the matter inside?"
"What's the matter?" Although Gui Chou was wearing a mask, he could tell through his eyes that he was really full of doubts. Feng Lun saw Gui Chou answering his question in a humble manner and said in a deep voice: "Did you kill someone in Loukes's mansion?"
