Medieval White Elf Story

Chapter 20 Inside Story

Flynn hurried to Artus' side and saw the results of Artus' interrogation.

If the prisoner captured before was just beaten into something different than a human being, then now he has evolved into a new version that is barely human. At least Flynn needs to take some time to identify that this guy is the prisoner.Therefore, Flynn was very glad that he had just gone to see the Duchess of Werner instead of staying to observe the interrogation process. Otherwise, I am afraid that his young mind would have been left with many not-so-good impressions.

"The ones who attacked the Duchess were a group of human mercenaries, specially hired from the Anor Province. This guy was specially sent to serve as a guide for these mercenaries. It is certain that this matter has nothing to do with the Cecilia people." Artus's report was concise and to the point. "He doesn't know exactly who the employer of these mercenaries is, but what is certain is that the person who asked him to be a guide came from the Duke of Zeon's palace."

The people around took a breath. Once the matter involves the great god Duke Zeon, the water here will be too deep. This is exactly what everyone is most worried about.

Flynn frowned: "How does he know the other party's identity?"

Artus spat at the prisoner who was lying on the ground in a puddle of mud, and said: "This guy is a local, and he is responsible for finding women for the servants in the Duke's Palace when they go out to play, so he treats everyone in the Duke's Palace. Familiar. The guy who asked him to be a guide is in charge of the Duke's wine cellar, his name is... um..."

"Feleimon." A subordinate with a better memory supplemented him.

"That's right, Philemon. I don't know if there is any higher-level instructions behind that guy. Basically, I can only ask so much. It seems that he is just an errand boy. There are too many inside stories. I won’t let him know.”

Although the current evidence clearly pointed to the Duke of Zeon's palace, the strange thing was that Flynn's subconscious reaction was that it could not be done by the old Tibes. He expressed his thoughts and asked Artus for his opinion. .

Artus didn't quite understand: "Why can't it be Duke Zeon?"

"First of all, if Duke Zeon intends to kill the Duchess of Werner, he will not invite her to the wedding. No matter what the circumstances, if a duchess has any problems in his territory, Duke Zeon will cause the Duke of Werner to The anger will not do him any good. Besides, whether he plans to kidnap or kill the duchess, what can Duke Zeon gain? Duke Werner will not be threatened by others for this." Flynn sorted out his emotions as much as possible Think and share the situation you analyzed with Artus. "Secondly, even if Duke Zeon and Duchess Werner have some unknown secret that makes it necessary to attack the duchess, he can send a trustworthy army to act as a disguise. There is no need to find some unreliable and easy to leak secrets. Mercenaries, is it possible that Duke Zeon would rather trust these mercenaries who can sell their lives for money than trust his subordinates who can be more easily controlled?"

These two points of analysis were very reasonable, and Artus could only nod his head in agreement.

"Finally, even if the Duke has to use mercenaries for some reason, there is no need to find human mercenaries. This will definitely cause others to think about the relationship between the Principality of Zeon and Cecilia. I don't think the Duke currently has any relationship between the king and the king. The Cecilia people want to choose sides immediately, so why would he find a group of human mercenaries to come to his territory to do this?"

Artus thought for a while and said: "Could it be that he wants to frame this incident on the Cecilia people and divert the anger of the Principality of Werna?"

"There is no need." Flynn shook his head and said: "Werner and the Cecilia have been incompatible with each other for a long time. Werner will always be on the opposite side of the Cecilia without framing him. Besides, this does not get rid of the Duchess's presence. There is trouble in the territory of the Principality of Zeon, so I don’t think this is something the Duke of Zeon would do.”

Artus remained silent, obviously convinced by Flynn's analysis.

"I guess it's some people around the Duke who hope to use the Duke's name to mobilize people to attack the Duchess of Werner." Flynn made his own judgment and reminded Artus: "Don't forget the people in the town before. When there was a sudden blockade, the guards also said they had received orders from senior figures."

At this point, Flynn felt that the person behind this incident was a bit self-defeating. He arranged for guards to blockade the town. I am afraid that the purpose was to prevent the Duchess of Werner from having to travel overnight because she could not stay in the town, so that the mercenaries could take advantage of the opportunity. Flynn and the others happened to bump into each other and the next scene happened, causing his entire plan to fall short.

One of the servants asked confusedly: "The people around the Duke you mentioned, do you mean the Duchess?"

"I'm afraid not." Flynn didn't think so. "The Duchess of Werner came here at the invitation of the Duchess, so she shouldn't deliberately cause trouble. In my impression, the Duchess does not seem to be a stupid person."

Dibelli scratched the back of his head and still couldn't figure out what everyone was discussing, but he still asked: "What should I do with this guy?"

Flynn looked at Artus, who made a gesture of wiping his neck.

No matter what the truth of the matter is, it involves the Duke of Zeon's house. If this living confession is left, the other party will know about the Bain family's involvement if they don't succeed. After contacting the guide and missing, it is possible that for Murder and silence chose to attack the Bain family.So for the sake of your own safety, don't continue to fall into this conspiracy. Killing this guide is the simplest and most direct way.

This is also the reason why Flynn opposed killing. Since the Bain family has been involved in this conspiracy, no matter whether the guide is killed or not, the opponent will suspect that the Bain family has the inside story of the matter and will not let the Bain family go easily. Man, keeping this person alive may make the other party a little bit jealous.

Not only did he not plan to kill the guide, Flynn also arranged for his followers to bandage the guy's wounds. When he got to Quen, he would find a doctor to give him a good treatment. After the injury got better, he would give it to Werner's men to let them themselves. Deciding how to deal with it made Artus a little confused.

In fact, this is a simple blame-shifting strategy. Now that the other party's secret has been revealed, then quickly throw the hot potato to the serious owner of the Werner family. By then, the other party will be too busy dealing with the wrath of the Werner Principality. He didn't even care about how to deal with the Bain family.

"The way to safely master a secret is to let more people know the secret." Flynn said with a smile: "When enough people know the secret, it will not be so easy to kill and silence them."
