Chapter 4 Conspiracy, of course, there must be a conspiracy
Bruce Langdon noticed something, raised his head in a vigilant posture, and pressed the brooch with his right hand. This brooch was a life-saving item that he had spent all his efforts to obtain, and the spells stored in it could save people at critical moments.
His life.
After all, he is not like his sister - although Bruce Langdon is also quite handsome, he is not a warlock and has no ability to cast spells.
Bruce Langdon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the tall and thin figure walking out from behind the curtain.
"Can't you go through the main entrance? Use your proud disguise." He said to the figure, his tone had completely relaxed, but his hand did not take away from the brooch.
"We are accustomed to living with shadows," the figure said softly.
"So, let's get down to business. Have you found out the details of the mage who appeared at the city gate this morning? Is he a disciple of my father's distinguished guest?"
"No, there is no evidence that he is a disciple of the Grand Master of the Palace. However, many people saw it. He stayed in front of the notice board at the door for a long time and took off the notice posted by your sister."
Bruce Langdon frowned: "Why would a mage take the commission from that notice board?"
On the notice board at the city gate, only the lowest-level mercenaries will look for tasks there. Most of the tasks that will appear there are boring tasks such as transporting goods and exterminating rats. Occasionally, there will be a debt collector.
, will immediately be snapped up by the lowest-level muscle gangsters.
When Bruce Langdon heard that his sister actually posted a solicitation on that notice board a day ago, he couldn't believe his ears.
His sister, the youngest daughter of Duke Langdon, is usually smart and smart, but in this case she acted like a retard.
So much so that Bruce Langdon once suspected that there was some mystery in it, thinking that it was actually a code for someone.
After all, the content on that solicitation notice was also very serious. Investigating missing cats and dogs? It sounded like an aristocratic lady playing house.
Although Elizabeth Langdon is indeed the most distinguished noble lady in the city.
Today, it seems that everything has become clear.
Bruce Langdon said seriously: "I understand. My lovely half-sister, I don't know when she established contact with a certain archmage. This solicitation is actually their secret code for contact. The archmage sent a
Magical advisor to her!”
"But," the wanderer hiding in the shadows interrupted Bruce, "the person who came out of the portal was a young man. When the guards at the city gate checked him, they were very sure that he was at most eighteen years old. Most of them were eighteen years old.
My apprentice can only cast second-level magic. Isn’t he a little too young to be a magic consultant?”
Bruce Langdon frowned: "He may have deceived the guards through spells such as suggestion. Mages are very cunning. In short, my sister may have a powerful mage assistant now. Be careful about this in the future."
Wanderer: "Actually, after meeting your sister, the mage quickly left her stronghold and started wandering around the city."
"Alone?" Bruce asked in surprise.
"No, two, together with the swordsman Mark. Also... maybe the drow is also nearby."
Bruce pursed his lips, pondered for a moment and then asked: "If we test his strength...will it be revealed that we did it? I don't want to break up with my lovely sister so quickly."
Wanderer: "Actually, you don't need to be so anxious, because your sister seems to be planning an adventure. We don't know where she is going yet. If she is going to a dangerous place, such as the city's sewers, maybe you can stay forever
One less opponent."
Bruce: "Isn't she looking for a cat? What's the risk?"
"Last week your father just mobilized the city defense army and adventurers to eliminate the underground goblin tribe. Wild cats and wild dogs are the favorite food reserves of the goblins living in the city's sewers."
Bruce was speechless. After a brief thought, he ordered: "Find a way to release information, implying that goblins are responsible for the decrease in cats and dogs."
"There's no need to hint. All adventurers know this."
Bruce: "My sister is not an adventurer, she is just a little girl playing house as an adventurer. Release the information, and - it is best not to go through the Thieves Guild, Marika will see that we are luring her."
Wanderer: "Then it's up to you to take action. Maybe you can tell Miss Marilyn, my classmate, a story about goblins who like to eat cats and dogs?"
Bruce: "I will let the bard do this. Marilyn is very fascinated by that guy. You go ahead and continue to monitor the mage apprentice. It is best to find out his strength."
The wanderer bowed slightly, then silently retreated into the shadows.
Bruce breathed a sigh of relief.
The rogue guild of this city has placed the future lord's treasure on Duke Langdon's second son, at least for now.
Bruce knew that the guild was probably betting so confidently because it could threaten his life at any time.
Who knows whether the elder brother's strength will further improve in the future. It is already very difficult for rogues to threaten his life now.
As for the youngest daughter, Elizabeth Langdon, she was a sorcerer. Killing her now might be as easy as twisting off a baby's arm, but that might not be the case seven or eight years later.
What's more, now Duke Langdon has hired a well-known old warlock to be Elizabeth's teacher. Who knows if the old warlock has left any life-saving spells on her.
Looking at it this way, the second prince, Bruce Langdon, is the easiest to figure out.
Of course, the second prince will never sit still and wait for death.
He called softly: "Kassande."
"I'm here, Your Highness."
A gecko on the wall suddenly deformed and turned into a tall cat-man and quickly landed on the ground. The druid gestured to his employer: "Everything is normal, the thief has left."
"Let Kellerman take over, and you go see my sister, my new mage companion."
"Understood." Cassander paused and then said after a brief hesitation, "Your Highness, as a druid, I have been having nightmares recently. I asked Verney, and his dream interpretation said that nightmares are warnings from nature.
"
Bruce smiled: "Natural nature, do you want to say that at this time when all parties are eyeing the position of the next Duke, in addition to the various forces with their own agendas, do I have to worry about the natural world?"
"I don't know." Cassander shook his head, "But the disappearance of wild cats and wild dogs is indeed strange, and the Druids of the Green Field are also investigating this matter."
Bruce: "Then let the druids worry about everything - and of course my sister. Find out the details of that mage."
Cassander nodded, turned around and turned into a sparrow, jumped out of the wooden window of the study and disappeared under the bright sun.
