"Dear, do you think the reaction between Dean and the purple-robed woman tonight was a little strange?"
At night, the banquet ended and the crowd dispersed. In the highest room of Blackhammer Castle, Rhodes hugged Caroline and asked in a low voice about his new wife. Caroline nestled in Rhodes' arms like a bird, looking as if
Happy face.
"Strange? How to say?"
Caroline leaned her head on Rod's chest and asked softly.
"He is eager to talk to you... It seems that there are some things that even he cannot control. Also, how did the Iron Ring Castle lose money in just two years? What did Dean do inside? More importantly, how did the Iron Ring Castle lose money in just two years?
One o'clock, have you noticed? Tonight, Alves did not attend our wedding banquet."
Holding Caroline in his arms, Rhodes asked a series of questions. But Caroline looked confused. She didn't think about it that much. After all, at tonight's banquet, Dean was stopped by Rhodes and had no chance to talk to him.
After chatting with Lorraine, Carolyn didn't notice anything strange about him. As for Alves, Rod was familiar with him, and she didn't have much interaction with the dwarf. So, while Rod was immersed in thought on the bedside
At this time, Caroline looked at him blankly.
"Didn't you say that he was corrupted by Chaos? People who are contaminated by Chaos will do crazy things sooner or later." Caroline thought for a while, "Didn't you ask the guards to keep an eye on him? But in the absence of conclusive evidence,
We can't do anything to him, he is a distinguished guest."
"I know, so I just let them stare and didn't let them do anything. It's not what a lord should do to attack guests in his own castle. The important thing is that we have no evidence that he was corrupted by Chaos. If there is
, you can take action. I believe other people will support it."
Rod held Caroline in one hand and sighed softly.
"Okay, don't think about it so much. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Dean doesn't have many people, and they all seem to be a bunch of sissies. Since you have sent people to keep an eye on them, everything will be fine. For now.
Dean’s identity is still being kept secret. You said you can’t alert the enemy in the slightest, right?”
Caroline said, rubbing into Rod's arms. One hand even reached into Rod's pajamas...
"Well... that's right... I'm just worried about Alves..."
Rhodes said while grabbing Caroline's restless little hand.
"Okay, we'll worry about it tomorrow."
Caroline coquettishly turned over and lay on top of Rhodes...
…
In the early morning of the next day, the guests gradually left. They were just here to attend the wedding and had nothing important to talk about. So, after a full night's sleep, it was time to leave. At the same time, at this moment, Blackhammer Castle
There is nothing worthy of their visit. At most, the population is more than before, the city is larger than before, and the Dongquan River has begun to have docks. But these changes are nothing to the lords. Their territories
It was the same scene inside. Especially Count Hillel, the lord of Watchfort, was even more scornful of the current situation of Blackhammer Castle. He just glanced at it and got into his carriage. His expression was arrogant and noble, as if he was saying
Attending this wedding is already enough honor.
Rhodes ignored them. The real development of Blackhammer Castle was still to come. Before, there was no one without money. Now, with money and people, many things can be done. After sending away waves of people, Rhodes
Found Diego.
This is something he has always wanted to do, but has never made up his mind to do it. Now, he has finally made up his mind. Because it seems that he can't delay it any longer.
"Brother, have you seen that carriage?"
Rhodes put one hand on Diego's shoulder and pointed at the departing motorcade with the other. Dean Aubrey's carriage bumped along the road, and the double-headed eagle emblem was still conspicuous.
"Um."
"That is the convoy of Lord Dean of the Iron Ring Castle. Remember what I told you, Kislev is full of forces of Chaos. At that time, I advised you to stay and fight side by side with me. Now,
The opportunity has come. Young Lord Dean is most likely a follower of Slaanesh. You can track him and find evidence that he believes in Chaos. As long as I have evidence, I can lead my troops to capture him."
"You should have told me earlier..."
Diego complained that he was very drunk last night. If he had known that the Chaos followers were among them, he would have set out to arrest them.
"I told you sooner that you would do something stupid."
Rhodes said.
"Okay, okay, it's not too late to tell now. I will catch up with him."
Diego's words were full of anger, and upon hearing the words Chaos Believers, the witch hunter was immediately filled with motivation.
"Catch him, but don't act rashly. Chaos has corroded the Iron Ring Castle beyond your imagination. You can't defeat them there alone. So, I want you to collect evidence. Once there is evidence that Dean is a Chaos believer
, that way, I can lead people to encircle and suppress it."
Rhodes explained.
"I see."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Rhodes narrowed his eyes and continued - "The situation in Iron Ring Castle is very bad. I guess you will face a lot of problems after you sneak in. You must control your emotions and don't go it alone.
.Also, I want you to help me find someone."
"who?"
The witch hunter turned around and asked.
"Alves, a dwarf. You have met him. After the Battle of Erengrad, I had a gathering with him. You were also present at that time."
"I remembered, it was him..."
Diego said thoughtfully.
"Well, help me find him. He is a key figure. In the entire Iron Ring Castle, he may be the only one who has not been contaminated by Chaos. At the same time, he may be able to help us find evidence that Dean is a believer in Chaos. As for where he is now
, I don’t know, that’s why I asked you to find it. Be careful, Dean is very disgusted with his uncle, and I’m worried that Alves may have been hacked.”
Rhodes said worriedly.
"I understand, I will find him. Again, do you care so much about that dwarf?"
Diego asked.
"This is a long story. He is not an ordinary dwarf... Without him, Blackhammer Castle would probably be gone. I will tell you the story slowly when you come back."
Rhodes said.
"Well, it seems that my task is very heavy. Go deep into the Chaos lair alone, collect evidence, and at the same time rescue your dwarf companions..."
Diego joked.
"Hmm... So I hesitated for a long time whether to tell you this matter. After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that only you can do it."
"Of course, can you find a second hunter better than me in your territory?"
