Chapter 56 Late Night Visit
Lord, Embassy Row.
The noise outside the window made Duldu, who likes to be quiet, frowned.
He got up and walked to the window, looked at the workers who were still under construction outside, and pursed his lips.
It is different from the still intact embassy area.
The mayor's office, including the entire office building, was completely destroyed by the "old jazz" who gave his life away.
"Trash Telcon!"
Durdu muttered in a low voice.
Occupying the right time, place and people, in the end he died with that stubborn old guy.
It was a waste of the prince's investment.
but……
The barracks are doing well.
As the young emperor grew up, some of the fellows became more eager to move.
"What an ungrateful bunch."
"If there is no conquest by the prince."
"Siwok has long since become history!"
"Furthermore, after enjoying the war benefits brought by His Excellency the Prince, and now wanting to return to the so-called orthodoxy... What an honor and stand!"
Durdu sneered.
The ambassador from Telt, the capital of West Wok, can already imagine the expressions of those guys either angry or panicked after learning what happened in Lord's barracks.
There are many of the former.
The latter will be more.
However, these things are not what Duldu should care about.
All he cared about now was Telkang's legacy.
As a "grave keeper", the fourth-level "corpse whisperer" is about to become the fifth-level "defiler of bones", and Telkang, who has been in the Lord elite for 20 years, must have a considerable legacy.
For him who is also a "gravekeeper",
The value is undoubtedly higher.
And the reason why the prince sent him to Lorde was also to help him be promoted from the third-level "decomposer" of the "grave keeper" to "corpse whisperer".
This is trust in him.
It is also a reward for him.
Dourdoux is well aware of this.
Therefore, while completing the task of the prince, he is also actively looking for Telkang's legacy.
But it's been four days.
He investigated Telkang's residence, office, and laboratory.
Nothing at all.
The residence is simple and maintains the personality of a 'good mayor'.
The office was in ruins. Although the excavation was not over, he asked some wandering spirits, but there was nothing under there.
And the lab?
This is located in a two-story building between Telkang's residence and office.
In order not to expose his identity, Telkang was very careful.
Every day when I "sleep", I make a dummy doll in my residence, and I myself go to the laboratory, and I will definitely return before dawn.
His Excellency the Prince has already investigated these matters clearly.
But in the lab, no.
Nothing at all!
Some basic experimental items are available.
But worthwhile?
absolutely not.
"Is it a blindfold?"
"The real lab isn't there."
"Or did you leave a way out for yourself when you completed the 'Promotion Ceremony', and moved it on purpose?"
Durdu thought.
He leans towards the latter.
As the third-level "necromancer" of the "Gravekeeper", he knows very well that the "Gravekeeper" cannot leave the corpse if he wants to improve his strength. Whether it is an experiment or a ceremony, it is closely related to the corpse.
And when Telkang just became the mayor of Lord, he was only a third-level 'deviser'.
In these 20 years, the other party not only successfully promoted to the fourth-level "corpse whisperer" of the "grave keeper", but also almost promoted to the high-level "bone defiler" of the "grave keeper".
With such a promotion speed, there must be a huge and sophisticated laboratory.
There must be.
But can't find it.
This feeling made Duldu feel more and more irritable.
"If I were Telkang, where would I transfer the laboratory to save myself a way out?"
"First of all, for safety, you should stay away from Lord."
"Secondly, the ability to obtain a large number of corpses at will."
"In the end, it will be a place that will surprise everyone."
Durdu thought.
At this time, the ambassador had returned to his desk.
He's holding a glass of sparkling water with lemon, mint and a lot of sugar - a little alcohol doesn't affect his mind at all after becoming 'The Necromancer', but Duldu is still the better drink of habit .
Fragrant but sour red wine, he doesn't like it.
And when he was thinking, the sugar helped him think.
It's a pity that after drinking all the sweet and refreshing drinks, Duldu's thinking has come to no avail.
Also like a few days ago.
This made Durdu even more irritable.
three days!
three days left!
His Excellency's army is coming.
At that time, he will not be able to accept Telkang's legacy as calmly as he is now.
Although the acceptance of Telkang's inheritance was acquiesced by the prince.
But acquiescence is acquiescence.
No command was spoken directly.
That is, there is room for turning around.
There are loopholes that can be exploited.
And the bastard leading this army is very good at taking advantage of loopholes.
Moreover, the other party will definitely do this.
After all, if it were his, he would do the same.
His Excellency Prince's subordinates are not so friendly.
compete?
That has always been there.
"We have to speed up."
"If I can't do it alone..."
"Then call more people."
Durdu immediately thought of Bundy, Hall and others.
Bundy and Hall have a considerable reputation in Lord and have hundreds of subordinates.
It would be much better if it was mobilized than if he was looking for it alone.
As for resisting bandits?
It doesn't matter to Durdu.
No matter how fierce and cruel these bandits are.
He won't be harmed in the slightest.
He is sure that he will be safe and sound under the attack of the bandits.
And the civilians attacked by bandits?
What's the matter with him?
These civilians are no longer within the scope of his mission objectives.
What's more, the bastard came three days later, so naturally he had to keep him busy!
And what is busier than suppressing bandits?
Naturally, it was a group of bandits who had gained a lot and were ready to go back to the mountains.
Thinking of the other party running like a dog in the forest, Duldu couldn't help laughing.
His competitors were unlucky, and he was genuinely happy.
What's more, this matter can allow him to delay the time smoothly.
It's killing two birds with one stone!
What else can you not do?
Of course, in order to make Bundy and Hall obedient, he had to 'declare his position'.
Explain that you can resist bandits.
Then, a little show of strength will do.
He is very familiar with this set.
Of course, with guys like Bundy, Hall, cheating?
That doesn't exist.
Because that's what it should be.
A bunch of low class people.
Cooperating with him, the other party's three lives are already lucky.
He walked to the side coffee table again, where there was a small bottle of soda that was sold in the Turt department store last month.
Beautifully made, expensive, and in short supply.
If he wasn't a close friend of His Excellency the Prince, it would be impossible for him to get this small soda water bottle.
He even used the prince's relationship a little bit to get it.
As for spending two months of his salary?
When he drank the sweet sparkling water, Duldu felt that everything was worth it.
Picking up the sparkling water with sugar, fresh lemon slices and mint, Doldu drank it all in one gulp.
Someone recommended honey to him.
However, Doldu prefers sugar to honey.
Because the sweetness of sugar is more obvious.
After putting away the cup, Duldu was about to leave his bedroom.
sleep?
As a third-level "necromancer" of the "grave guard", although the need for sleep began to decrease after the start of the second-level "Night Watchman" of the "Night Watchman", it doesn't matter if you usually stay up late.
And just when Dordu was about to leave, the door rang——
Boom, boom, boom.
First one, then two.
This is an agreement between Duldu and his entourage.
Tips to prove there is no danger.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Tanier made a surprise visit..."
"Please come in."
When the attendant stretched his tone, Duldu directly agreed.
Unlike Bundy, Hall and other inferior people.
As a "mysterious side person", Tanier can be looked at by Du Erdu.
After all, they are the only ones.
Especially after learning that Tanier is a "pharmacist" and has the identity of a teacher at the Deer Academy, Durdu hinted more than once that Tanier could have a further chat.
The former is enough for his camp to receive considerable assistance—not the big camp where Prince Ruitai is, but the small camp below, and the camp of the allies who have tied their interests with him.
You know, there is no 'pharmacist' in his small camp.
And the latter?
That is what His Excellency the Prince values.
You must know that Deer Academy has high-level professionals.
His Excellency the Prince has wooed the Deer Academy more than once.
But there was no news.
It would be great if the Deer Academy's own teachers could act as pathfinders.
Therefore, Duldu lowered his posture and approached Tanier.
It's a pity that Tanier pretended to be stupid.
Completely ignored what he meant.
Originally, Duldu planned to 'visit' Tanier again before the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Tanier himself had already figured it out.
Maybe it's the beginning of good luck!
Durdu thought so.
Then, he quietly waited for Tanier's arrival.
About two minutes later, a follower in a black suit opened the door and made a please gesture inward.
Tanier walked in.
Looking at Tanier, whose clothes were wrinkled, stained and bloodstained, Duldu smiled.
He seemed to have guessed why Tanier came.
Immediately, the ambassador leaned back in the chair leisurely.
It was the first time for Tanier to meet the ambassador in front of him.
The previous meetings were all indirect.
Looking at the other party's pale face, and the bloody smell that was so strong that even perfume couldn't completely cover it up.
Tanier frowned.
Is it the third-order "deviser" of the "gravekeeper"?
Relying on the systematic "mysterious side knowledge" of the Deer Academy, Tanier quickly made a judgment.
The "gravekeeper" has to deal with corpses from the beginning.
But in the first and second ranks, there will be no smell of blood.
Only when one reaches the third level of 'decomposer', will there be a lot of lingering bloody smell due to the dissection of the corpse.
As for the higher fourth and fifth ranks?
If the opponent is at the fifth level, it is impossible to appear in Lorde.
Tier 4 is also impossible.
If the other party was a fourth-order 'corpse whisperer', he would have found Telkang's legacy long ago, instead of bumping back and forth like headless chickens these days.
"Good evening, Monsieur Dourdoux."
Thinking of Tanier greeting the ambassador in front of him.
"Good evening, Mr. Tanier."
When he found out that Tanier must have encountered some troubles and asked him for help, Duldu's eager heart turned into a careless gesture.
There is a difference between active and passive.
When you have the initiative.
Everything will be different.
If you can handle the opponent, you will be able to do a job with ease.
and,
able to get more.
Tanier looked at Duldu, who was sitting in the chair, almost looking at him with his nostrils, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
However, he did not speak.
And at this time, Duldu spoke.
"Mr. Tanier, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
"You're in trouble."
"Tell me about it."
"Maybe I can help you."
Durdu said so.
This is not a friendly gesture.
But full of arrogance.
Full of that condescending attitude.
Tanier showed a just right smile and responded to Duldu.
"certainly."
"I did run into some trouble."
"Otherwise I wouldn't be here."
Tanier said.
"Well, let's talk."
Doerdu, who was leaning in the chair, stretched out his right arm and knocked on the tabletop with his hand. When the sound of the tabletop beeping echoed in the room, the other party spoke the second half of the sentence.
"I'll hear what's going on."
alms.
It's as if after seeing a beggar and throwing down a copper gram, I feel that the beggar should be grateful to me.
Tanier disliked such people.
In his past life, once he met this kind of person.
He would just silently say something stupid, then turn around and leave.
Not today.
His cooperation.
Thinking of his friend's expectations, Tanier said after taking a deep breath in his heart.
"I was kidnapped by those bandits."
"Although they escaped by luck, those bandits will definitely not let it go."
Tanier said half-truthfully.
"Those bandits?"
"Bold enough."
"Mr. Tanier, you can temporarily live in the embassy area. Believe me, they will not come here, and they dare not come here-of course, it is only temporarily. You have to figure out your own way after dawn."
Duldu paused and said with a smile.
"What? Dawn?"
"This... I..."
Tanier panicked.
Looking at Ta Neal like this, Duldu felt a little satisfied.
"This is also impossible."
"There are so many bandits, no one knows who is hidden among them."
"Let Mr. Tanier stay until dawn because I am willing to take risks after I understand what you have done for Lord."
"Although I admire your behavior of walking with heroes, I am just a bystander."
Durdu continued.
He emphasized the pronunciation of the words "hero" and "bystander".
Enduring the other party's pretentious gesture, Tanier took a deep breath.
This time, there is no hiding.
As if he had made up his mind.
"I'm a bystander, you can't help me."
"What if I would like to join your team?"
"I can sign an employment agreement and become your follower."
Tanier said the rhetoric he had thought of long ago.
The corner of Durdu's mouth curled up.
Isn't this what he expected?
