Reggie didn't want Hurley to explore the way for him. This was not in line with his style, and he didn't have the patience. As Jarvan said, if he really wanted to inspect every building, it would take at least a month.
Do you really want Reggie to wait outside the city for a month?
But Hurley insisted on doing so, and he had only one reason, and it was very good.
"You can't afford to die. If you die, most people here will not survive. This is the fate of the expedition."
It has nothing to do with loyalty, only life and death. In such a deep castle, let alone some traps, it would not be surprising even if there are beasts from the prehistoric era hidden.
Regardless of whether Reggie is patient or not, he must wait for the perfect opportunity to completely occupy Blackwater City.
Of course, Hurley's efficiency will not be that low. His nose is indeed very good and he can smell the smell of saltpeter and sulfur across two walls. In addition, he has an assistant, Camilla, who brought the clairvoyant witch Charles
Sha took it with him.
The smart Hurley did not start the search from the outermost castle, but went directly to the innermost castle. The reason is very simple. After Reggie takes over Blackwater City, he will definitely live in the place where the White Wolf King lived for a long time.
The White Wolf King lives in the inner castle most of the time, setting traps here to have the highest chance of success.
From the moment Hurley entered the inner castle, there was something wrong with the expressions of the nobles. After only thirty minutes of exploration, Hurley smelled some sulfur.
"It seems that the White Wolf King has hidden a treasure here." Hurley stood under a five-story castle and showed a strange smile.
"Let me guess where the White Wolf King hid the treasure?" Hurley looked at the group of nobles, "Before I guess it right, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will make you yearn for the beauty of hell.
"
The nobles were frightened, but they still chose to remain silent. If they could find it, they might not be able to find it, but before Hurley actually found the trap, this group of werewolves would definitely stay cunning like other countries.
The Wolf King's inner fortress is astonishingly large, and there are countless secret rooms in it. It is really not easy to search them one by one. Fortunately, Shasha's witchcraft greatly reduces the difficulty of searching.
First of all, Hurley concluded that the trap would most likely appear on the first floor of the castle, or even in the basement, because the werewolves did not know which floor Reggie would live on.
If you don't bother to go, these traps will lose their meaning.
According to Hurley's inference, Charsha searched carefully, and in just an hour, she found the Werewolf's secret weapon, black powder dumplings, in the underground darkroom of the castle.
Looking at the workmanship and ingredients of these black powder dumplings, Reggie could tell at a glance that these items came from the Bayer Country. Although the power of a single dumpling was not worth mentioning, there were tens of thousands of such dumplings hidden in the huge underground dark room.
, if they are detonated together, this castle will be blown into the sky without any suspense.
Regarding this result, the surrendered nobles expressed no knowledge, and their explanation was still reasonable: "We don't want to die either. Do we want to die with you? Do you think the White Wolf King is worthy of this loyalty?"
It is no longer important whether it is reasonable or not. What Reggie wants to know urgently is the answer. How many similar traps are there in this city? Where are they? Reggie must have an accurate answer. He wants a good one.
Find all these traps.
Hurley took the initiative to take on the important task of interrogating prisoners. He chose a castle as the interrogation room and found a dead sheep as a prop for interrogation.
"I think you have all heard a legend that the number of bones will increase with status and status. Slaves only have one hundred bones, civilians have two hundred, and knights have three hundred... According to this method, White Wolf
The king should have at least a thousand bones."
The nobles responded: "Sir, we have never heard of such a legend, and we don't know what you are talking about. We really don't know that such a terrifying weapon is hidden in the castle!"
"We're not talking about weapons or legends. We're just talking about bones today," Hurley cut off a leg of mutton and said, "At first, I felt that people with higher status had more bones, but a man named Sven
Del's madness changed my view. The real situation is that no matter high or low status, everyone has the same number of bones, 206. Do you think this is amazing? "
The nobles trembled, realizing what was about to happen next.
"Guess, how did the madman know how many bones there are in people's bodies? Was it through magical calculations or guidance from the gods?"
Lord Zhong said tremblingly: "It must have been guided by the gods."
"You answered wrong," Hurley shook his head. "This has nothing to do with calculations or gods. He stole hundreds of corpses and counted them one by one."
Hurley grilled the leg of lamb with a flame, and the fragrant smoke filled the entire castle. It wasn't until the skin and meat on the leg of lamb were burned cleanly, revealing the complete skeleton, that Hurley put away the flame and rushed
He smiled at everyone and said: "These are the bones of a sheep. Count how many there are in total? After I finish counting this leg of lamb, I will slowly count your legs."
…
That night, the surrendered nobles told the whole truth.
They are the avengers left by the White Wolf King in the city. To put it bluntly, they are low-status cannon fodder. Their mission is to trick Reggie into the inner castle, and then find someone to ignite the bomb in the darkroom.
This is not a death-like attack. Before their assassins take action, all the nobles will try to stay away from the inner castle. Even if Reggie will not give them a chance to leave, they can still find several shelters in the castle. These refuges
This can help them survive the explosion with a high probability.
In addition to the castle, there are tens of thousands of black powder dumplings buried in the Wolf King's Garden (a place where beauties are tamed), the Wolf King's Secret Realm (a place where beauties are enjoyed), and the Wolf King's Temple (a place where all lords are summoned to discuss major matters).
This made Reggie very puzzled. Why would the White Wolf King rather leave these black powder in the castle than take them to the battlefield?
The nobles who knew everything immediately gave the answer: "These groups are from the Bayer country. The Werewolves do not believe in the weapons of the Bayers, and our soldiers do not like such weapons."
"When did the Byers give you these weapons?"
"Four months ago, my lord."
Reggie got a lot of information from just a few words. First of all, the werewolves were very conservative, and their recognition of new things was almost zero. In that intensive decisive battle, no matter how unbearable the black powder was,
It will also cause great damage to Reggie.
There is another piece of news that is even more important. Four months ago, Sophia's war fell into the most difficult situation, but she still did not forget to provide weapons support to the Benlang Kingdom.
The Bayer Country and the Benlang Country are cooperating. Although the purpose of their cooperation is unclear, Reggie can feel that it is all related to the Shattering Snow Country.
