Although he was reluctant and had no other choice, he could only agree: "Yes, uncle, I will ask the servants to find a few valuable things and transport them to your castle now."
"Yes, there are still gold coins. Give them to me now?"
"These are the gold coins in my pocket, and there are another twenty gold coins. I will get them for you now." Earl Marton took out the two gold coins from his pocket and put them in Duke Dark's hand.
When I was about to go out and come back with twenty gold coins, Xiumu came in with a plate.
"Your Highness the Duke, Your Highness the Earl, this is your water."
When Earl Marton saw him, he put on a ferocious expression again: "Hey, since you are free now, why don't you go get the twenty gold coins stored in my box."
Xium was stunned for a moment. He obviously had saved hundreds, but why was it twenty? But he quickly realized and said: "Yes, I will get it for you right now."
Duke Dark saw his abnormal expression just for a moment, and wondered in his heart, could it be that this nephew saved more than twenty gold coins? What a lie. He even lied to me. Humph, forget it, now for this matter
It's not worth being angry.
Soon Earl Macdonald and Hume walked into the study again and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have sent several vases and jewelry to your castle, and here are the gold coins that Hume found."
As he spoke, he placed twenty gold coins on the table, and Duke Dark put all the gold coins in his pocket.
"Uncle, should we get down to business now?"
"Yeah, it's time to get down to business. What does that cabin look like now?" After Duke Dark said this, he started to drink water. After finishing the glass in his hand, he picked up another glass.
Earl Marton glanced at the cup and thought, why did you pick up my cup before I drank it? However, he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction and just replied: "...
From the outside, the hut has not changed much, but when you enter the basement entrance, you find that the door to the hut has been opened."
Duke Dark drank all the water in the cup and said, "Then you discovered that the person you captured and guarded was not inside, and the hairpin and diary were also stolen?"
"Yes, uncle."
"I'm curious, what does that hairpin look like?"
"When I first got the card, didn't I write to you and tell you?"
"I know, but I still want to see with my own eyes how the sapphire glows in the dark night, and how we can actually see the dragon pattern." Duke Duke asked again, "What did the person selling hairpins say? Is it true?
Is it related to the Dragon Clan?"
Earl Marton shook his head: "He didn't mention the dragon clan at all. It was my servant who accidentally discovered the dragon patterns and patterns on it and brought it to me."
"It seems to be related to the Dragon Clan. We must get back all the diary and hairpin. As for the guard, we should kill him when we find him."
"I think so too, uncle. But, who do you think broke into the hut?" Earl Macdonald frowned, "I suspected it was the eldest prince at first, but I took people to his castle the day before yesterday.
I searched and found nothing. Moreover, I asked the people of Yemu Town and they found that he had never been to Yemu Town, so I felt that it was not his fault."
After hearing what he said, Duke Dark lowered his head slightly in thought and frowned: "When you led people to build a hut and set traps, were you not discovered by others?"
"We did it very covertly and no one would find out."
"What about the person you captured and guarded? Could it be that his family rescued him?"
"He has no family. Even if he knows someone, they don't know that he was captured by us, let alone find the hut."
"I think this thing is very strange. It is difficult for someone to avoid all the traps. Since the person who broke into the hut avoided all the traps, it means that he has extraordinary skills and is quite smart."
"Yes, he did not fall from the fake basement entrance and found the real entrance. This means that he talked with Khalil and learned the location of the real entrance from Khalil; when he walked to the entrance
When he entered the door of the hut, he was not killed by the poisonous needle on it, which shows that his eyesight is extraordinary, even better than that of normal humans.
After he saw the hut, he found something under the thorns, so he went to look for it. There was no blood on the poisonous thorns, which meant that he was not stabbed by the thorns. He must have been wearing gloves or something like that; and he was able to cross the thorns.
The fact that he was able to cross the deep pit with Khalil showed that he was flexible and strong.
Such a powerful person is probably not among the people we know."
Duke Dark frowned after listening to his words, sighed, stood up, and paced on the floor of the study.
"Uncle, what are you thinking of?"
"What kind of person do you think is willing to break into this weird-looking hut regardless of the danger?"
"Either someone who is familiar with Khalil, or the lord of this place."
"It is difficult for Khalil to know such a powerful person. Even if he knew such a person, they would not take risks for him or even offend the nobles, so it is impossible for someone he is familiar with to break into the hut."
"What do you mean, the eldest prince is the most likely?"
"Yes, the eldest prince became the lord of Night Town the day before the hut was stolen. As soon as he became the lord, the hut became like this the next day. Don't you think there is something wrong with this? I think it was clearly the eldest prince who learned about it.
In order to become the lord of Nightfall Town, I hurriedly went there to inspect."
"I've thought about this too, but it doesn't prove that he is the one who broke into the hut."
"Think again, if this person just wanted to save Khalil, why would he take the risk of taking away the hairpin and diary? Since he did it, it means that he has enmity with us. The eldest prince has a lot of enmity with us.
.”
Hearing this, Earl Madoner raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Yes, so the eldest prince is the most suspicious!"
"It is very possible for him to do such a thing. When he was in the palace before, he hid it so deeply that we all mistakenly thought that he was an extremely cowardly person."
"However, we obviously didn't find anything from his castle, and the people in Nightfall Town also said that he had never been there."
"This is his cunning. As long as he wants to hide, he will not let you find it. And he also has many ways to conceal his identity and secretly patrol Night Town." Duke Dark sneered, "And his
His skills are quite good, and he may also have magic weapons to help him, so it won't be difficult to overcome those traps."
"So that's it." Earl Madonle slammed his hand on the table, "The damn eldest prince actually lied to me!"
"I really don't blame you for being deceived by him. The eldest prince is cunning and cunning, and I have been tricked by him. But why did you leave things at night?
Muzhen, this is really a miscalculation."
"Uncle, I just wrote to you about getting the card and started building the hut. I didn't know that you would give Night Town to the eldest prince."
"Oh, in the final analysis, we still have to blame Agris! This unsatisfactory daughter caused us to lose Nightfall Town!"
"Uncle, don't be too angry. My cousin is doing it for your own good, so I'm thinking about you."
"Huh, I hope she doesn't think about me." When Duke Dark thought of Agnes, he felt annoyed again and said to Hugh, "Pour me some coffee, I'm a little sleepy."
Earl Marton said anxiously: "Uncle, what should we do now? We can't wait. If the eldest prince finds a chance to inform the king about this, then we will all be doomed!"
Duke Dark stared at him and said: "I can't stay here for too long. I have to go to Frank City soon. So, the next thing depends on you. You go to Daybreak Town to find my informant Noli.
, he will tell you his thoughts, and then you will work together to get rid of the eldest prince, so that he will have no chance to speak out about us in front of the king."
"I know, I will go to Daybreak Town today to find him, and at the same time, I will also meet cousin Agnes."
"You also let Agnes know about this, but try not to let her interfere. You can teach her appropriately what to do to avoid making mistakes."
"Yes, uncle."
At this time, Xiumu brought over two more cups of steaming coffee: "Your Highnesses, it's cold here. If you drink cold coffee, it will be even colder, so I brought you hot ones."
"Well done, I'm very cold now, and you're very considerate." Duke Dark put his hand next to the cup to warm it and said, "You have to help your master."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness, I will do my best for the master." Xiumu asked with a smile, "Now that lunch has been heated again, do you two Your Highnesses want to go to dinner?"
"I happen to be hungry too, so I'm going to try the food here." Duke Dark stood up and walked out.
Earl Macdonald also followed.
Xium sighed behind him and secretly rubbed his shoulders while they were not paying attention. After what happened today, he didn’t want to follow Earl Madonna anymore. He just had no choice but to stay here. If he had a chance, he would come back
It would be fine to be an ordinary guard in his uncle's castle beside his family, he thought.
After Duke Dark had eaten and drank enough, he hurried to the door and said loudly: "Bring me my cloak."
"Uncle, do you want to take a nap before going back?"
"I can't waste any more time. The king is very likely to look for me in the afternoon. If I haven't been at my residence in Frank City, he will become suspicious. Don't let the elves in the morning send me away again. Although I fly fast, my strength
Xiao, this will be very dangerous. I'd better let your stronger elf take me back."
Earl Macdonal found another elf for him and sent him to Frank City.
After Duke Dark left here, Earl Marton said to Hume: "I won't take a nap either. You should accompany me to Daybreak Town now and find Noli next to cousin Agris to discuss countermeasures. I'll let Feixiang
The elves send us.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
There were more and more dark clouds in the sky, and the sky looked very dark. Two flying elves grabbed their cloaks and quickly passed by at low altitude.
