Chapter 489: Bloody Earl
"Just in this way, your identity will be exposed. I'm afraid Orca Harbor won't be able to stay here any longer." Weaver sighed softly.
Taylor smiled and said: "After so many years of business, I have expected such a day. So I have prepared several other identities, and the Orca Port can't stay. The empire is so big, and it can't go anywhere."
"No matter what, you sacrificed most of your family business after all."
"Elder Weaver's words are serious. How could my business be managed if it wasn't funded by the Naga tribe. What's more, if it wasn't for the Naga tribe, I would have died in the hands of pirates or in the belly of a fish."
Weaver didn't say much anymore, and let Taylor go down to rest.
At this moment, the castle "Blood Dusk" is also brightly lit, and the lights illuminate every corner of the castle. This castle is not famous for its elegance. In the castle, you can see pointed arrow stacks, gloomy shooting fortresses, all kinds of spikes that are not for decoration or to strengthen defense, and circles of crimson bloodstones embedded on the dark black walls , have decorated this fortress as a synonym for terror.
Seen from the night, the entire Blood Castle looks like a huge devil's head, and the two terraces on the left and right above the castle are the devil's eyes. Especially when the lights in the halls they are connected to are lit, they are like demonic eyes flickering with hellfire. At this moment, the hall connected behind the two terraces is lit. This is a dark hall with few decorations, and the exposed foundation stone can be seen, with an original flavor.
On both sides of the wall and in the center of the hall, there are strange candlesticks shaped like palms. The white candles on the candlesticks are flickering with fire. Nearly two hundred candles illuminate the hall. Under the wall in the middle of the hall, there is a dark red armor on each side, and a huge portrait in the middle. It was a handsome man in the finery of an earl. The painter's skill is very exquisite, which makes the characters in the painting extremely vivid. There was a hint of coldness in the smile that seemed to hang on his lips. And those eyes, if someone looks closely at the eyes of the characters in the painting, they will find that a landscape like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is reflected in those eyeballs.
This is Eric, or rather, Eric as a young man. After all, this portrait has been placed here for twenty years.
On the main seat in the hall, someone was leaning on the dark red velvet backrest, resting his chin on one hand, and staring sideways at the two people below. Being able to sit in this position, only Eric in the entire Blood Castle is qualified to sit here. Eric has aged a lot compared to his young self in the portrait. The years have carved deep marks on his face, and the handsomeness of his youth has now settled into a kind of majesty. Only those eyes were still there, and there seemed to be a mist of blood surging at the corners of those eyes. Looking into those eyes, it was not difficult to find that the four characters of cruelty and ruthlessness were engraved in this man's bones.
"So, you're going to tell me. You night ghosts picked up five killers,
In addition to the two of you, you can't take Taylor who is only protected by a mosasaur knight? "Eric said softly, his voice carried a touch of majesty. If judged only from the voice, it would make people think that this is a high-ranking, majestic and decent figure.
"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, we messed up." The petite woman who was fighting the Mosasaurus Knight on the carriage was the one who spoke, she lowered her head and said, "But if it wasn't for those two people who were killed in the middle, everything would be smooth .”
"Which two?"
"A man and a woman, my lord. But they are new faces, and they probably have just arrived at Orca Port not long ago."
"It's really interesting to ruin my business just after arriving at Orca Harbor."
"What's more interesting is that Gang Pao discovered that some people chased them for most of the night."
"Oh? Who is it?"
The big man who was repelled by Belmode raised his head and said: "A guy named Deke, it seems that those two people had some conflicts with Deke during the day. Oh, this man named Deke is from your Blood Shark Chamber of Commerce." The next guard captain."
"Very well, it seems that you have also made some preparations. But it seems that the preparations are not sufficient, otherwise, that guy named Dyke would have to be here to accept my questioning, am I right?"
The woman and the big man looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Suddenly there was a gentle breeze, and the steel cannon flew out somehow, hitting the wall before hitting back. He fell to the ground and spat out blood with a wow. Eric didn't look at the big man as if nothing happened, he stretched out his hand and pulled the woman's hair, then lowered his head, until their noses were almost touching, Eric said: "You Lian, Tomorrow morning. I want to see that Deke is here, and all the people who have been in contact with those two people will be brought to me. I want to know the identities of those two people. Since they are related to the Naga clan, The identity must be unusual."
"If it can't be done..." the count stretched out his hand and held the woman's left chest. With a light pinch, pieces of the armor protecting the chest peeled off. The woman named You Lian showed a painful expression, but she didn't dare to cry out, and could only nod repeatedly.
Eric let her go, kicked her in the chest, and kicked her out. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Go away."
Gang Pao hurriedly ran over to help You Lian, and the two left without saying a word. Eric sat back in the chair, stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers on the side armrest a few times, and said to the empty hall, "Is there any news about Carlo?"
Two white arms protruded from the back of the seat, obviously two women's hands, these hands fell on Eric's shoulders, and then swam to his cheeks. The fingers painted with dark red armor lightly touched the earl's face, the candle was flickering, and in the light of the fire, there was a woman quietly behind the earl. Her skin was morbidly pale, but she intentionally put on extremely thick eyeshadow, and her lips were painted bright vermilion. She lowered her head and said to Eric: "From the news we inquired, apart from the meeting between the young master and the Naga royal family, we only found out that the last place he arrived was Ark Harbor."
"Ark Harbor? Oh, that useless territory called the Earl's Shame, called Oban? What does Carlo go there for?"
The enchanting woman behind said softly: "It seems to be related to the person who released the Naga people on Pearl Island. Our Serpentine has already checked, that person is Alan, a little baron, and he has just joined Oban not long ago. "
"A little baron?" Eric showed a faint smile on his face: "Am I old, Marlene? Now a little baron can interfere in my affairs, and Aubin has accepted him. Very happy Well, it looks like I'll have to take a chance and talk to the wimpy earl."
"Are you going to see Master Carlo yourself?"
Eric shook his head: "I don't have that skill now, that guy Taylor actually bribed Josh and replaced the real one with a fake account book. Although I still found out, I couldn't stop him immediately Him. Now that account book has probably fallen into the hands of the Naga clan, those alien species can hand it over to the royal family, so that Master Mason will be blamed. And if Master Mason is unhappy, I don’t even want to be happy.”
"What are you going to do?"
Eric said lightly: "Of course, keep them in Orca Harbor forever."
The woman behind the chair was startled, and said: "It's fine to kill Taylor, but His Highness Naga and several elders are hidden in his mansion. If we kill them, we will attract the intervention of the royal family." .”
"As long as the hands and feet are clean, we can excuse ourselves afterwards. And if His Royal Highness Naga dies here, it will be easier for Lord Mason. Although the royal family will not let me go easily at that time, there is Mason. It’s not a big problem for adults to deal with it. What’s important is that I can gain a relationship with the fourth prince of the empire, which will be beneficial to our future development.”
Hearing what he said, Marlene could only nod her head and said, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare it. It's just that His Highness, I probably didn't have anyone under my command who could threaten her."
"It's okay, I will greet her personally."
"You want to do it?" Marlene frowned, but said helplessly, "That's right, except for you, there is no one who can defeat that princess."
"Okay, you go and prepare. Be quick, tomorrow night at the latest."
On the second day, several carriages drove into the blood castle. The carriage opened, and some people were driven out of it. Among them were Deckard, Balin, and the female bartender who had contact with Belmode. Except for Bahrain, the faces of the others were tense. Gang Pao came over, waved his big hand and said, "Take them in, the Lord's Bloodfang Hall is waiting for them."
A group of soldiers behind raised their muskets and pushed them forward against their backs.
In the hall, Eric was still sitting in his seat, as if he hadn't left from last night until now. With his chin in one hand, he glanced coldly across the crowd in the hall, and finally fell on Bahrain. Eric said, "Old Bahrain, you're here too."
Balin immediately walked out and saluted the earl, "Dear Earl Eric, good morning."
"I'm not in a good mood at all, old Bahrain, you should know why you are here?"
"Well, I heard that you are investigating a couple?"
"Yes, it looks like you've had contact with them. Tell me, what did you say to them?"
Priest Bahrain's face was a bit ugly, so he had to go through the conversation with Belmod yesterday in detail, and then said: "My lord, please forgive me. I didn't know they would ruin your business. If I knew, I would Tell the guards to arrest them all."
"Old Bahrain, I said earlier that if you don't control your mouth, something will happen one day. It seems that my words have been verified today. So, how much did he pay you?"
The priest stammered and raised a finger: "One hundred gold coins."
"A hundred gold coins?" Eric smiled and said, "A hundred gold coins will allow you to say all the things you shouldn't have said. Come on, give old Bahrain a thousand gold coins."
The woman named Marlene came out Shi Shiran, and put a buckskin bag containing gold coins into Eric's hand. Eric then threw the bag of gold coins in front of Bahrain: "Here, are you satisfied?"
Old Barin looked at Eric in fear and said, "Master Earl, what do you mean?"
"Obviously, here's the money. Don't you just like gold coins, old guy? Now, I'll give them to you. But you can't take them back with your hands." Eric gradually let out a smile: "Steel cannon, Let the old man swallow these gold coins, he loves gold coins so much, I will let these things be buried with him."
Steel Pao responded and strode over. Old Barin screamed: "You can't say that, Lord Earl. I'm also Diris, you can't kill your own people!"
The blood in Eric's eyes became even thicker: "You are ashamed to say that you are Diris, but you are just a child of a lowly bitch. You know better than me what you have done with Diris' surname all these years The reason why I didn't argue with you is because you are just a small character. But now, your mouth has ruined my big deal, it's not so cheap."
The steel cannon had already knocked old Bahrain down, then grabbed a handful of gold coins and put them in his mouth. Old Bahrain bit his mouth tightly, and the steel cannon glanced at Eric. The latter nodded, and the big man immediately let out a smirk, clenched his fist and knocked on Old Balin's mouth. The old priest let out a scream, opened his mouth, and his teeth fell all over the floor. Gang Pao opened his mouth in satisfaction, and stuffed the gold coins into his mouth.
It didn't take long for Old Balin's mouth to be filled with gold coins. The steel cannon continued, and in the end, he was gagged by gold coins and suffocated to death.
Eric waved his hand, and the steel cannon dragged the old priest's body down. Along the way, gold coins kept rolling out of the priest's mouth and fell into the eyes of other people.
Deckard trembled all over, and some people even passed out. Even if the priests of Bahrain belonged to Diris, they, who are not even as good as ants in the eyes of the earl, can imagine their fate.
"Okay, tell me everything you said and did when you were in contact with that couple. Don't waste my time." Eric said lightly.
It took a whole morning for Eric to listen to their confessions. Among them, the female bartender and Deckard had the closest contact with them. From what they said, the two arrived at Orca Harbor yesterday, and they came with a certain purpose. Otherwise, you wouldn't just ask the bartender where you can buy information as soon as you arrive. Based on Bahrain's confession, there is no doubt that they came for the Naga tribe.
This is strange, apart from slave traders, who else is so interested in the Naga tribe. Obviously, the two of them are not slave merchants, that is, they belong to another force.
Finally, Eric swept past them. His eyes fell on the female bartender first, and he said, "If you hadn't been so talkative, they wouldn't have come to Bahrain. Look, you not only ruined my business, but also killed a Diris. Since you are so talkative, Then pull out your tongue."
"As for you..." Eric looked at Deckard: "You are an idiot. They used them to attract the interference of the city defense team. You can't see that they are not ordinary people. What's the use of keeping a pair of eyes? Pick out the eyeballs for me."
When Dyke and the female bartender heard this, they were so frightened that they couldn't say anything. r1058
