Chapter 1964 Wiretapping

"Goodbye, dog!"

Joan made a grimace at the hound, raised her toes, spread her arms to keep her body balanced, and carefully walked around the hound in a ballet-like posture, and climbed up the stairs.

Going up the corridor on the second floor, Joan heard a strange movement, as if someone was grinding.

Qiao An listened for a long while, and the sound of grinding seemed to be coming from the warehouse behind the big house. She didn't bother to check for the time being, and continued to search on the second floor.

In the big house, only the living room on the second floor was lit. Under the cover of the night and the "advanced invisibility technique", Joan climbed up the stairs without anyone noticing, accelerated towards the glowing window, leaped, and her petite body flew into the air. It rose up and landed lightly on the window sill which was three feet high.

Through the glass window, Joan saw two people sitting opposite each other on the sofa in the living room, both holding pipes in their hands, chatting and puffing clouds, the smell of tobacco, as well as the sound of the two talking, escaped through the crack of the window come out.

A middle-aged man dressed in a gentlemanly style and with a mustache sat cross-legged on the sofa on the left side of the window. It was Francis Messinger.

On the opposite side of Messinger was a halfling in a purple silk nightgown, with a ruby ​​ring with magical aura on his right ring finger. His thick temples were graying, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead made his complexion look extraordinarily gloomy , presumably the owner of this manor - Am Frody.

Joan also noticed that Messinger's servant Mustafa stood at the door of the living room with his arms folded and his expression solemn, as if he was playing the role of a guard.

Joan sneered silently at Mustafa. This black ghost probably never dreamed that someone could sneak into the big house in a way beyond his imagination, and eavesdrop on the conversation between Messinger and Frodie right under his nose.

Joan withdrew his gaze from Mustafa, pressed his ears to the window, and listened intently to the movement in the room.

Facts have proved that he didn't come in vain tonight. The topic that Messinger and Frody are talking about at the moment is closely related to Hailaer's life experience.

In the chat, Messinger revealed that he received a letter from Frodi two months ago, and learned that the "Herlinghorn", which had sunk near Galti Island 18 years ago, had reappeared in the world, and had appeared on the The sea area of ​​Maple Leaf Bay couldn't help being very surprised, and came to discuss countermeasures with his old partner.

Am Flodie admitted that the information he has so far is not enough to confirm that the so-called "ghost ship" is indeed the "Herlinghorn", but the mere existence of this possibility makes him uneasy Ning, worried that Aaron Green's undead was causing trouble, returned from the underworld to the mortal world after 18 years to seek revenge on him and Messinger.

Hearing this, Joan knew that Hailaer's mother, Mrs. Nanna, was right. Messinger and Flodie were indeed traitors and joined forces to murder their captain, Aaron Green.

In fact, another concern of Mrs. Nanna's deathbed was also confirmed.

Messinger mentioned Earl Winthrop many times in the conversation with Frody, blatantly implying that the reason why Aaron Green died unexpectedly was that he and Frody could not be blamed for treachery and stabbing in the back. So naive, he actually wanted to get rid of Earl Winthrop's control, wash his hands and go ashore, and live a peaceful life with his wife and children like a decent person.

"How is this possible?"

Messinger sneered contemptuously.

"If Aaron has such thoughts, he is already doomed to die badly. If we had rejected the commission from the Earl, we wouldn't have had a good end. I don't want to be buried with that fool Aaron!"

Although Messinger did not explicitly disclose the details of the assassination of Aaron Green, it is not difficult for Joan to imagine that he and Frody secretly accepted the bribe of Earl Winthrop, betrayed Aaron Green on Galti Island, and assassinated After succeeding, he sank the "Herringhorn" to the bottom of the sea, pretending to be shipwrecked.

Afterwards, Messinger and Flodie secretly returned to Freeport, intending to assassinate Aaron Green's wife, Nanna Green. Because of Herrell's protection, they couldn't find a chance to assassinate Mrs. Nanna, so they had to go to New Zealand in despair. Avalon, took shelter of Earl Winthrop.

Mrs. Nanna was overly saddened by her husband's death, and died of illness just three years later.

During these three years, Francis Messinger and Am Froddy continued to serve Earl Winthrop, and together with embezzling the property of their companions who died on Galti Island, both became millionaires .

Upon hearing the news of Mrs. Nanna's death, Messinger returned to Freeport at the behest of Earl Winthrop. Later, with the strong support of Earl Winthrop, Messinger wooed unsuccessful MPs in Freeport and formed the The alliance against Herrell has now become one of the most powerful members of the Pirate Council, and is qualified to stand against Herrell, the "Pirate Speaker".

As for Amn Frody, he has stayed in New Avalon all these years, engaged in the slave trade, opened the magic crystal refining factory, and secretly did some shady business for Earl Winthrop. A member of colonial high society, a widely respected industrialist and estate owner.

...

"Am, the 'Herlinghorn' was pierced by the two of us together, and we watched the ship sink into the bottom of the sea. If it really turned into a ghost ship, I am afraid that the 'Herringhorn' was given 'The crew members who were buried with him were also stranded on the ship, turned into undead creatures..."

Messinger held the pipe and muttered to himself.

"It is indeed possible." The halfling warlock rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, "Francis, you must still remember those terrible undead on Galti Island. The entire island and the surrounding sea area are filled with strong negative energy. People who die unexpectedly in this environment will have a high probability of being transformed into undead creatures. Looking back now, we made a serious mistake and shouldn't have sunk the ship near Galti Island."

"That's what I said, but at that time we were all scared out of our wits by the mourning banshee on the island. We just wanted to finish the task assigned by the Earl as soon as possible, and escape as far as possible. How could we think so thoroughly!" Mai Singer spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"Yes, until now, I occasionally dream of that terrifying banshee, and I wake up in a fright, sweating all over my head." Frody sighed, "I really don't want to go back to Galti Island if I have to. It was like walking into a living nightmare."

"Be optimistic, my old friend. In fact, we should really thank that banshee. If she hadn't led a large group of ghosts to rush out suddenly and entangle Aaron Green, we would not have succeeded in assassinating so easily." Maxine Gehehe laughed.

"I'm not like you, who always think of the best of things, no matter how much trouble I cause, I think I can handle it!" Amn Flodie said angrily.
