Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 25 Brotherhood of the Black Hand

"500 gold coins, so much!"

Windsor pretended to have a dumbfounded expression, and looked at Sean in a daze.

"You heard me right, it's 500 gold coins!"

Sean was very satisfied with Windsor's acting skills, and secretly praised him in his heart.

While praising, Sean continued: "Wendsor, would you like to be my captain of the guard?

If you become my guard captain, I can give you a monthly salary of 20 gold coins. "

"Of course I would! It is my honor to serve His Royal Highness Sean!" Wen De Sole replied "ecstatically" while kneeling down to Sean to show his allegiance.

"That's good, I'll introduce my butler to you." Sean helped Windsor up from the ground.

"Henry, I have something to tell you." Sean greeted his butler.

. . . . . .

At this time, the butler Henry was covering his heart with his hands and staring blankly ahead, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock.

After hearing Sean's greeting, Henry came back to his senses and walked to Sean's side.

"Your Highness Sean, are you okay? Are you injured?" Henry looked at Sean with concern and kept looking around.

Seeing that there was no blood at the scene, Henry was relieved.

"Of course I'm fine. It was this soldier who saved me. His name is Windsor." Sean introduced, "He will be my guard captain in the future. Let's get to know him."

"Thank you, Wen De Sole." Butler Henry held Wen De Sole's hands excitedly, "If His Royal Highness Sean is successfully attacked by gangsters, I'm afraid I will spend the rest of my life in prison."

"I did this for River Beach Town." Windsor said seriously, "River Beach Town has suffered such a serious disaster. Only His Royal Highness Sean can lead us to rebuild River Beach Town. A lord who treats the people well like him is not good. He should die in the hands of gangsters!”

The refugees in River Beach Town who were still in shock next to him also expressed their agreement when they heard what Wen De Sole said.

"That's right! His Highness Xiao En gave us all tax relief and free food. I have never seen such a good lord!"

"His Highness Xiao En is so generous now, and he will definitely not oppress us in the future. The residents of our river beach town are so lucky!"

"I want to inform those relatives in the city as soon as possible, get out of the city early and go back to Hetan Town with us!"

In an instant, the open space at the entrance to the refugee camp was filled with all kinds of words praising Sean.

. . . . . .

After the housekeeper Henry and Wen De Sole got to know each other, Sean told the house house Henry: "Henry, you help Wen De Sole select a few strong residents to serve as guards temporarily, and buy them some weapons and armor.

Windsor's salary is 20 gold coins a month, and the salary of ordinary guards is temporarily set at 4 gold coins a month. "

"You must complete the task, Your Highness Sean." The steward Henry sighed as he replied, "20 gold coins a month, what a lucky guy!"

"Who says it's not the case? My salary is only 20 gold coins." John, the captain of the guard standing next to him, also said with a slightly sour taste.

He had been a bodyguard for the Earl of Rivers for more than ten years, and his salary was only raised to 20 gold coins per month until he broke through to the upper bronze position recently, and the guy in the black iron rank in front of him was already on the same salary as himself.

However, John was not jealous of Windsor, after all, without the help of the black iron-rank guy in front of him, he should have been on his way to escape to Port Kapoor to become a pirate by now.

. . . . . .

Over the next period of time, Sean began to reassure the frightened refugees in River Beach, telling them that the danger was over.

After Sean finished appeasing the refugees, Matthew came back.

"Your Highness Sean, I'm back and I have good news for you. I found this." Matthew handed Sean the hose that the assassin tore apart just now.

"What is this?" Sean looked puzzled at the hose Matthew handed him.

"This is a suicidal potion that assassins under the Brotherhood of the Black Hand often carry with them. After taking it, they will die within five seconds if they give up fighting spirit and resist.

"The Brotherhood of the Black Hand? Could it be that they are the ones who want to kill me?" Sean fell into deep thought.

"Yes, and no." Matthew nodded, then shook his head again.

"What do you mean?" Sean asked.

Matthew thought seriously for a while and said:

"The Brotherhood of the Black Hand is a mysterious underground organization, but they have always maintained neutrality, and the assassins under their command also charge money for their work. Like the assassins sent to assassinate you this time, they should also charge money for their work.

But after all, you are the direct blood of Grand Duke Ryan. If you want to say that this matter did not have the acquiescence of the high-level Brotherhood of the Black Hand, I definitely don't believe it.

How about this, I will help you investigate in the city for free and see if you can find any clues. "

"That's really hard work for you."

While talking, Sean secretly remembered the name "Black Hand Brotherhood" in his heart.

"It's okay, although you didn't hire me today, but since I'm here, the Brotherhood of the Black Hand sent someone to assassinate you, which doesn't take me seriously, Matthew, so I must investigate clearly .

Then, Your Highness Sean, I will take my leave first! "

"Matthew, you can do it. I wish your investigation goes well!"

Sean wanted to keep him for a while. After all, Matthew is a huge experience bag, so he was a bit reluctant to let him go easily.

But seeing Matthew's impatient expression, Sean didn't stop him anymore.

Matthew saluted Sean, then walked towards the city gate.

. . . . .

After Matthew left, the guards also dragged back the bodies of the three assassins.

Sean had never seen blood before, and he was very uncomfortable seeing the three corpses, and he was too nervous to be assassinated just now, and now he felt extremely tired physically and mentally.

So Sean said to Henry the butler, "I'll leave it to you and Windsor. I'll go back to the city first. When I go to Earl's Castle to receive gold coins in the afternoon, just go to the Magic Guild and find me."

"Okay, Your Highness Sean. But instead of going to the Magic Guild, I think it's better for you to go back to your residence and have a rest." The butler Henry suggested.

"I have my plan, go get busy." Sean waved his hand and walked towards the carriage.

. . . . .

After saying goodbye to the butler Henry and Wen De Sole, Xiao En left a guard to assist them in their work, and he left the refugee camp with the head of the guard John and two other guards.

After the carriage left the refugee camp and entered the city, it drove in the direction of the Magic Guild.
