Chapter 383: Clue II

Emerald Castle, lobby corridor.

Dean walked side by side with the archduke swordsman, and the two talked in a low voice——

"This Nok should be one of the links of the arranger, or the arranger found Nok, but for some reason, Nok was handed over to Mike in the dungeon!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said with a little consideration.

"Well, according to Mike, Nock doesn't have any skills, and it's always been out of a position of cooperation—and according to the rule of thieves who work harder and get more, even if the two cooperate, they will definitely have some benefits." Conflicts, once or twice, and then, over time, and it just so happened that Nock encountered such an opportunity to get a lot of Kimpton and get rid of Mike... I don't think he would mind doing it like this One ticket!"

Dean nodded, agreeing with the words of the Grand Duke Swordsman, then he frowned slightly, and said solemnly in his voice: "The only thing I worry about now is whether this Nock is as smart as he appears! "

"You mean...to kill and silence?"

The Grand Duke's swordsman was startled for a moment, and then he reacted.

"Dead people are the ones who are the easiest to keep secrets - the person behind the scenes is planning a big operation, and will never be negligent in such a small place! Therefore... the person who is most likely to make mistakes will definitely be killed: It is absolutely impossible for Nock to be let go—even if he arranges for Mike to replace him, he himself is not really safe! So, I hope he is really smart and understands his situation!"

Dean nodded again and said slowly.

At the same time, Dean's pace accelerated again.

The Grand Duke's swordsman also quickened his pace and followed.

However, as soon as the two walked out of the hallway in the front hall, they were stopped by someone——

"Master, a gentleman named Nord is waiting for you outside the castle!"

Tom, who had obviously been waiting here for a long time, walked over quickly as soon as he saw Dean. He speaks very fast, but clearly.

As Dean's entourage and domestic servant, Tom did not enter the meeting room. Instead, they were assigned to the outer fort area where followers and servants gathered.

As for Dean's request and notification, the castle guard also notified Tom - this is etiquette and respect for the guests.

"Nord?"

Dean didn't stop walking. He asked casually.

At the same time, an image of a weak-tempered mercenary immediately appeared in his mind—the other party had appeared in Tyre, and he was also a Frost Noble.

He even hired other mercenaries to verify whether he was the real Frost Nobility.

Before arriving in Nangang County, because of the relationship with the Seymour United Family, Dean thought carefully about this person who belonged to this United Family - in order to judge the Seymour United Family's relationship with him. manner.

However, the conclusion is not very optimistic.

the simplest. Just hiring mercenaries who have nothing to do with the Frost Nobility to investigate him is enough to explain everything; not to mention, there are people with ulterior motives mixed in this mercenary.

Therefore, Dean was very surprised that Nord showed up.

"Yes, he is waiting for you outside the drawbridge of the castle!"

Tom didn't know what Dean was thinking, he just spoke from the perspective of a follower and servant.

"Ok!"

Dean nodded, then exchanged glances with the archduke swordsman, and the pace of the two quickened again.

Now they obviously don't have more time.

but. Nord, who represents the Seymour United Family, can't be seen; after all, Dean still has the surname of Zelgang-hence. A brief meeting is the best result.

...

Emerald Castle, outside the drawbridge.

Nord, who was dressed in an icy blue coat, was wearing a single-sided glasses, and his already frail aura seemed even more frail.

Although he carried a thin sword at his waist, he still looked like a noble scholar, not a so-called mercenary.

Nord standing by the carriage,

From time to time, he glanced in the direction of the castle.

A touch of anxiety appeared on his supposedly calm expression.

In fact. When the family meeting ended that night, Nord's anxiety didn't subside in any way——

because. After discussing the issue of the surname 'Zelgang'.

Various representatives of the joint family put forward their opinions on the second day. It is believed that the elder is too old to continue to be one of the decision makers leading the joint family.

They need a new elder.

Regarding such a proposal, Lunk, as an elder, remained silent.

Neither agreed nor opposed.

It looks like it has nothing to do with him.

Nord knew very well that this was because of the attitude of these family representatives on the issue of 'Zelgon', which made the elder completely disheartened.

For those greedy guys like jackals, Nord also didn't have the slightest favor.

Therefore, after he learned that Dean had entered the Emerald Castle, he appeared here.

Not only has the elder's order, but also has his thoughts.

Therefore, when Nord saw Dean's figure, he immediately took a few steps to meet him——

"Your Excellency Zelgon!"

Before the drawbridge of the old castle, Nord stopped and bowed to salute.

Without permission, the closest position the visitor can get to the castle is where Nord is at the moment; if it exceeds a little bit, it is disrespectful and offensive to the owner.

"Nord, what's the matter with you?"

With his unstoppable pace and extremely fast speech, Dean indicated that he had something to do.

Behind him, Tom, who was leading the horse, explained more problems.

Nord looked at Dean who didn't stop, and then at Tom who was leading the horse. He had a thousand words in his heart, but under Dean's hasty attitude, he didn't know how to speak.

"Nord, what's the matter with you?"

Dean, who didn't get an answer, asked again, and stopped his steps at the same time, but his brows were also frowned.

"The elder said that he tried his best, but the others have long been blinded by greed. He has no way to restore the intention of these people-the union named Seymour. Even if he is an elder, he has no real decision-making power."

Looking at the slightly unhappy Dean, Nord's heart tightened. Subconsciously, he uttered the words of the elder.

"Is that right?"

Dean was taken aback. Then the frown became more and more tight.

Undoubtedly, what happened to the Seymour United Family was somewhat beyond Dean's expectations.

For the most part, it didn't surprise Dean. After all, if it was him, he wouldn't want someone to appear out of nowhere and suddenly overtake him.

Not to mention, Kimpton was involved.

therefore. Dean is well aware of those who have an unwelcoming attitude towards him.

Even, for this reason, Dean made several adjustments to the original plan.

However, the appearance of this 'elder' surprised Dean.

Listening to the meaning of Nord's words in front of him, it is obvious that this 'elder' is really loyal to the surname 'Zelgang', but he is alone.

"That's right. Moreover, because the elders supported you to return to the family, those guys actually chose to impeach the elders—they are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves. They have already forgotten the elders' kindness to them in the first place!"

In Nord's words, there was a strong sense of indignation, and then, the rapid indignation became a kind of expectation.

"So, in addition to conveying the elder's words, I also hope that you can help us!"

Nord said.

"Is that your carriage?"

Dean didn't answer, just pointed to the carriage beside him and asked.

"yes!"

Nord nodded.

"Well, then, drive us somewhere, and talk as we go—Tom. You hitch the horse behind the carriage!"

Dean ordered.

"Okay, master!"

Tom sprang into action immediately.

And Dean and the Archduke Swordsman stepped into the carriage. Dean sat on one side with the Archduke Swordsman, and Tom and Nord sat opposite.

A wider compartment. Even if four people sit in, it doesn't look crowded.

“Second main road to the Docklands!”

Through a small window deliberately left on the carriage behind him, Dean gave instructions to the driver, then turned around and looked at Nord, asking, "What do you mean by asking me to help you?"

"Because the elder disregarded the interests of the family and supported you to return to the family, the representatives of the other families thought that the elder was too old and blind to lead them at all—but these families never thought about how they joined Seymour in the first place. They came from this joint family, at that time they were completely left with an empty shell, even... like beggars! What did they look like at the beginning? You can never imagine..."

Obviously, Nord was in a hurry, and said all the things that should not have been said.

There are stories about the shabby appearance of a certain family representative at the time, a certain family representative sold his ancestral home in order to live a decent life, and so on.

Almost all appearances of embarrassment were spoken out.

The archduke swordsman on the side looked at Nord in surprise. At this time, the Frost nobleman realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, blushed, and stopped talking.

"Is there such a thing as the Seymour United Family?"

Dean looked at the Archduke Swordsman.

"The situation of the Seymour United Family was indeed not very good at the beginning, but... I didn't expect it to be so bad!"

The Archduke Swordsman replied.

"So, are you here on behalf of the elder you said this time? Or?"

Dean turned his head and set his eyes on Nord again.

"It's me! The elder is already disheartened - he doesn't want to dance with these jackals anymore, and is about to step down from the position of the elder!"

Nord replied sincerely.

"Well, can I meet this elder?"

After pondering for a moment, Dean asked.

"Of course! When?"

Nord nodded in surprise, and asked impatiently.
