Chapter 129 Auction. Interval (Part 2)

Just as Dean expected, after the last auction item was sold, the waiter began to rearrange the hall, the square table and chairs were moved in, and the original guests in the hall went to the side hall to rest temporarily——Dean Of course, he was not interested in listening to these nobles talking about the previous auction. He signaled to the lady of Baron Tire's family that he would go out to get some air, and then left the side hall like this. (starting)

It is naturally not easy to find someone in an old castle.

However, if this person is the owner of the castle, it will be much easier.

After all, even in the castle, the owner of the castle has his own guards beside him - although the Marquis of Vauban is not a luxurious person, he still attaches great importance to his own protection.

At least, in the previous auction, Dean could still feel the vigilance of the Baron Jando.

Undoubtedly, at that time, the Baron Gendot was the bodyguard of the Marquis of Vauban.

After leaving the hall, it was naturally impossible for the Baron Cando to follow up, but the Marquis of Vauban naturally had no shortage of guards.

What's more, Dean also knew the first half of the path when the other party left——

"There are three doors in the hall, one leads to the side hall, the other is the front hall square, and the one that the Marquis of Vauban walked leads to the long corridor at the back...here!"

Dean, who locked the general direction, soon discovered something.

At the door of a room next to the long corridor, two heavily armed guards were standing there, and the identity of the knight level indicated the noble status of the protected person in the room.

In Vauban Castle, there is naturally no one except the Marquis of Vauban.

Dean stood in the shadow on one side of the corridor, well shaded by the setting sun. but. After all, it is not night. It's really difficult for Dean to get close; if it's two ordinary people, he can still try, but if it's two knights, especially in the Vauban Castle, Dean will never dare adventurous.

"Did Mader start to act and shirk his responsibility? Or did the 'Brotherhood' release some smoke in advance?"

Dean stood in a shadow of intersecting light and dark, without leaving the room. At the bottom of my heart, I continued my previous guess.

Of course, before witnessing the people in the room except the Marquis of Vauban,

Dean couldn't draw his final conclusions yet.

Fortunately, Dean knew that this conversation would not last long.

After all, as the host, the Marquis of Vauban will definitely appear in the hall before the dinner begins.

The sunset gradually receded, and blackness began to appear in the sky.

And the door that Dean had been keeping a close eye on was opened at this moment——

The Marquis of Vauban came out, and then the door closed slowly.

"what?!"

Dean was taken aback slightly. It was hard to hide the surprise on his face, as he expected. The people in the room should have left with the Marquis of Vauban.

However, now the Marquis of Vauban left alone.

Looking at the Marquis of Vauban who was approaching, Dean held his breath and concentrated. When the other party left with two guards, Dean let out a slight breath; however, his body was still standing in the shadow, and his eyes looked towards that room.

Now, away from the two knight-level guards, if Dean wants to get close, it will naturally not be difficult.

However, the banquet that is about to begin, if Dean does not appear there, will obviously attract the attention of some interested people; including the Marquis of Vauban.

For this old fox from the same camp, Dean never dared to underestimate him.

And once the suspicion of the other party is aroused, it will be quite disadvantageous for Dean; after all, some of his details cannot withstand scrutiny before he has made a thorough arrangement.

If it is exposed, it will naturally fall short.

Dean will never let his whole plan go wrong because of the things in front of him.

Therefore, after taking another look at the room, Dean quickly retreated to the side hall——

"Hurry up, the banquet is about to begin!"

The lady of Baron Till's family looked at Dean who walked in, and immediately walked over.

Obviously, because of Dean's 'rejection' to the Marquis of Vauban before, the young lady of the baron's family was in a good mood, and her perception of Dean changed again.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the resentment towards Dean in her heart has disappeared, it's just because of Dean's performance that the lady temporarily buried this resentment in her heart.

As for how much will disappear?

A girl's heart is like a needle under the sea, and anyone who tries to guess is an idiot.

"Ok!"

Dean nodded slightly, and walked into the hall side by side with the lady from Baron Till's family.

What about the jealous eyes of Baron Jenner next to him?

Dean simply ignored it.

The banquet was as boring as ever, as if it was a replica of yesterday - in fact, most banquets will attract people's attention the first time.

However, the second and third time, only boredom remained.

After all, no one wants to experience the same things again.

Therefore, everyone who attended the banquet formed their own circle and talked with each other to pass the time.

Of course, in the eyes of some people with special purposes, this is the best time; whether it is to join a certain circle or to inquire about something through a certain circle, it is extremely convenient.

Dean watched the Marquis' aide, Mader, wandering around various small circles with a glass of wine, and subconsciously thought of the word 'social butterfly'.

The other party obviously has quite good knowledge and self-cultivation, no matter which circle he is in, he can smoothly integrate into it, and it drives the overall atmosphere and bursts of laughter.

Of course, that's not what Dean noticed!

The other party seemed to enter the hall earlier than him!

After all, before he entered the hall, the other party was already standing here—even though he didn't know the other party's name just now, but because the other party was standing not far from the Marquis of Vauban, the other party's Dean has already remembered his appearance in his heart, and after that, the other party's wandering and greetings let Dean know the other party's name.

"He can't be faster than me, unless..."

Dean wondered intently.

Dean was well aware of the route back to the hall from the long corridor room in the back; after all, that was something that was obvious at a glance, and on such a route, except for the Marquis of Vauban, he did not see anyone else therefore, if Mader had been in that room, it would have been impossible to be faster than him.

Unless the other party will be invisible!

However, this is obviously impossible.

Although wizards are very good at this, they will never use spells for no reason; especially in the situation at that time, it is obvious that the other party and the Marquis of Vauban leave together is the most correct choice.

As for the secret passage?

There must be secret passages in Vauban Castle, in fact, every castle will have secret passages.

However, it will never connect to a crowded place like the lobby.

The meaning of the existence of the secret path itself is to keep secret, and the hidden places are inaccessible to ordinary people; for example: the master's bedroom, study room and so on.

"The person in that room is not him!"

Eventually, Dean came to this conclusion.

"Who was in that room talking to the Marquis of Vauban?"

Naturally, the previous conclusion was drawn, and this conclusion appeared in Dean's heart.

However, the vast scope made it impossible for Dean to get an answer.

What's more, Mader, who was not far away, had already walked over with a wine glass——

"Baron Jando, good evening... Baron Janel, I am so glad to see you again...Miss Lily Till, you are really more and more beautiful...This, this must be Dean Captain Ken, right? Your recent reputation is really impressive to me!"

Madele greeted Dean and his group with a smile.

It's hard to imagine that in such a short sentence, this Lord Mader has covered everything; moreover, he started out according to the differences of each person.

Undoubtedly, such greetings are extremely easy to gain the favor of others.

At least that Baron Janel was already smiling.

And the lady of Baron Till's family also smiled.

As for the stern-faced Baron Jando?

He didn't frown, he had already explained that the other party didn't disgust him.

And Dean?

With a characteristic and slightly reserved humility on his face, he responded to the other party with a smile, just like those noble children.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Mader!"

"Captain Dean Ken, your strength is really admirable. There are very few young people like you in Vauban County! Where is your hometown?"

"Katyu County!"

"So it's the three southern counties! It's under the Grand Duke's jurisdiction, no wonder..."

"The Grand Duke is a man worthy of respect!"

...

Simple communication starts with such pleasantries.

And Dean obviously noticed that this Lord Mader was very interested in him, and he was inquiring about something from time to time—of course, they were all very covert.

Just look at the unaware appearance of the other three present, you can tell.

As for the suspicion of the other party, Dean also gradually changed from guessing to affirmation.

There was a smell that he was very familiar with on the other party——

The kind of hypocrisy that walks in the shadows and wears a mask!

The staff of the Marquis of Vauban has the taste of someone who walks in the shadows... The identity of the other party seems to be self-evident.

Of course, Dean did not omit the small steps in the original plan because of this.

In fact, precisely because it was determined.

Dean would see the need for such small steps.

After all, he must be in control of the entire spy network of Gao Sai in Vauban County.

And if you want to control the entire network, you must kill the entrenched second-in-command. Only in this way can he, the 'head', appear!
