Dominate the world in three weeks?

Terrence's shout surprised everyone who heard it, and the people upstairs on both sides who stuck their heads out to watch the excitement immediately screamed in a low voice, mixed with doubts such as "No way".

The little duke ignored those voices. He only wanted more people to notice him. With the spread of public opinion, even if Cusack wanted to do something small, he would not dare to do it without a reasonable explanation. up.

When the captain of the patrol team heard Terrence revealing his identity, he even sped up and ran over.The squad leader was a very cautious person, he did not rush to salute when he came to Terrence, he first looked at Terrence calmly.

Since the Aldelete family are descendants of the royal family, they naturally inherited the iconic green eyes of the royal family. In addition, Terrence's mother was from Sealand, so black hair was even rarer in the empire.Based on these two points, the patrol captain was already convinced, and compared with the portrait on the bulletin, he had no doubts.

What's more, Terrence took out the goshawk family crest the moment he arrived.

He knelt down on one knee excitedly and said, "See Your Excellency, Duke Aldret!"

The reason why the patrol captain is so excited is naturally because of Terrence's noble status on the one hand, and on the other hand... the city lord also promised to reward anyone who can find the little duke with 100 crystal coins.

His actions are the best circumstantial evidence to confirm Terrence's identity, and Terrence smiled with satisfaction.

The patrol captain hurriedly asked the soldiers behind him to report the news to the city lord, Viscount Cusack, with Terrence's family crest, and he tried to show proper etiquette to guide Terrence, hoping to give this distinguished little The duke made a good impression.

Clinging to the upper class nobles—although this is a dream that we know is unlikely to come true, but the opportunity is right in front of us, who wouldn't want to give it a try?

While leading the way humbly, the patrol captain looked at the two people behind Terrence and asked, "I don't know if these two gentlemen are..."

"I was unfortunately in danger during this time, and it was they who saved me."

Terrence replied lightly.When he decided to enter the Bone Tower Forest, he had already made up an excuse to deal with his sudden disappearance, but there was no need to explain it clearly to the patrol captain to exercise his ability to lie.

The patrol captain didn't ask too many questions, he just felt pity in his heart that he didn't even think about the reward of five thousand gold coins.

The two chatted happily along the way, and seeing that the city lord's mansion was about to arrive, the patrol captain was even more delighted when he thought that he could receive a hundred crystal coins for this.

But who would have thought that a group of guards suddenly came in front of them and stopped them.

The captain of the patrol recognized that the leader was the chief guard guarding the City Lord's Mansion. He could be regarded as a trusted figure of the City Lord. He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Ye An, Lord Roma. You are here to personally greet—"

Before he finished speaking, Rom shouted loudly: "Take down the liar pretending to be Your Excellency the Duke! Patrol Captain Wood is suspected of being an accomplice, take him away!"

"what?!"

The turn was so sudden that the patrol leader didn't even react immediately, and he struggled until someone pinched his arm backwards.

"Master Roma! You must have misunderstood! I saw that the family crest was real, but I didn't—— um, um..."

His cry of defense was quickly silenced.

Looking at the current situation, Viscount Cusack obviously wanted to catch Terrence regardless.

Lancer's sword was half drawn. Although Lu Sien didn't understand what happened, he knew the danger and wanted to get the bow and arrow behind him.

Terrence stopped them in a low voice.

The patrol captain had already been tied up and thrown aside. Rom thought that the three of Terrence would resist, and had already ordered people to get ready. Who knew that Terrence didn't seem to know what was going on, like a spectator Passers-by usually stand in place.

Rom raised his eyebrows and looked at the child standing in front: "It seems that you are not afraid."

Terrence laughed: "Isn't that what I should say? To slander and attack nobles, it seems that Viscount Cusack doesn't want his life anymore, does he?"

As Terrence said, he looked at the burly man in armor in front of him.The other party's facial features were ordinary, and he was supposed to be unrecognizable when thrown into the crowd, but because of a long scar running through the bridge of his nose, he showed an impressive banditry and murderous aura.

He looks like a person who is not afraid of anything and dares to do anything.

Sure enough, Rom didn't waver at Terrence's ridicule, and said loudly, "I'm afraid the crime of impersonating a nobleman is not light? You are so confident, why don't you guess who is going to die?"

The other party's reckless appearance made Terrence even more sure that Viscount Cusack ordered this operation knowing his identity.And Roma's meaning is also very simple and clear. As long as Terrence is executed for impersonating a nobleman, how can the other party say that he "slandered and attacked the nobleman".

But Terrence still didn't intend to fight back at all, which made Rom suspicious for a while. He cautiously surrounded the three of Terrence with his men, but finally caught them easily.

Viscount Cusack didn't even show his face, and the three of Terrence were directly thrown into prison.

This situation made Terrence feel more at ease.

If Roma showed his intention to kill him on the spot, Terrence would certainly not sit still, but Viscount Cusack obviously did not have the courage to deal such a cruel blow.He never came to see Terrence in person, which further proved that the other party was still unwilling to do anything.

An indecisive opponent...

Terrence lowered his eyes and thought, this is completely different from the behavior of the four people who attacked him at night.

When Terrence entered the city, he had already prepared for the possibility of being assassinated. Of course, it was because the position of Cusack City made him uneasy, so Terrence was also the first to be attacked when he was actually attacked. Time identified Viscount Cusack.

This is also the reason why Terrence simply exposed his identity in front of the soldiers. If the patrolling soldiers were left behind by Viscount Cusack, how could they do anything to him in full view?

But judging from the soldier's reaction to his identity, the other party and the people who assassinated him are obviously not in the same group.

That being the case, which force was it that came to kill him?

Terrence sorted out the information he could remember, but he still couldn't think of anyone other than Duke Pacino, who had a dispute with him for the throne, who would be eyeing him at this moment.

So the killer was sent by Duke Pacino himself?This is obviously unlikely.There was no need for that old man to act without notifying Cusack's master. The result would be half the effort just like today, and he would be messed up by unsuspecting soldiers.

The fact that an opponent he couldn't think of wanted to kill him was more dangerous to Terrence than being in prison right now.

But Lu Sien, who was imprisoned at the same time, was obviously more focused on the moment. He walked around the prison as solid as copper and iron walls, thinking about only one thing: "Will someone bring breakfast tomorrow? I heard that the prison requires To catch mice and eat...?"

Terrence, who came back to his senses, looked at the solid floor mixed with silver-sulphur sand, dumbfounded. If a mouse can make a hole in this kind of place, his teeth are too strong.

Terrence guessed that the killer who assassinated at night was not ordered by Duke Cusack, is this the truth?

This is indeed the case.

Terrence was caught off guard by the killer's sudden attack, and Viscount Cusack was less prepared than him.When the soldiers came to report that Duke Aldret had been found, he was still sleeping soundly in bed.

He was originally from the lineage of Duke Pacino, and he had received a message from His Excellency the Duke a long time ago, asking him to keep an eye on Duke Aldret's movements.Of course, Viscount Cusack understood that the two dukes were the enemies fighting for the royal power. How could His Excellency Duke Pacino come here with good intentions to care about the life and death of Duke Aldret?This "staring" naturally has some deep meaning, and the duke didn't say it clearly, and Viscount Cusack couldn't fail to hear it.

But even if the Viscount is willing to work for Duke Pacino, there are still limits to what he can and is willing to do.He could help find out the whereabouts of the Duke of Aldret, but he never thought of killing a Duke himself.

There is no way, Viscount Cusack has declined three generations ago, and the former glory is long gone.Counting from his grandfather's generation, he has never been in the imperial capital, and only spends his days in such a remote town.Although he relied on money to open up a relationship with Duke Pacino, he himself was still a small lord far away from the circle of upper-class nobles, lacking decisiveness and adaptability.

Therefore, when he knew that the Duke of Aldret had been found, Viscount Cusack's first reaction in a daze was to yell for Rom to catch him quickly, while he hurriedly got dressed and contacted him. Duke Pacino.

But it was the middle of the night, how could the viscount contact the duke who was already asleep.He put down the communicator, at first he was a little dazed, and then became agitated.

The Duke of Aldret was like a hot potato falling on his hands. He kept the other party for fear of accidents, but he really didn't have the guts to kill the other party directly.

When Rom opened the door and came in, he saw Viscount Cusack walking back and forth while scratching his hair.

"gentlemen!"

Rom couldn't help but yelled.

"Rom." Viscount Cusack raised his head and saw his important confidant strode over immediately. "Well, where is the Duke of Aldret now?"

"Please don't be so anxious, sir." Rom pushed Viscount Cusack to sit on the chair, "I have already put those people in prison. I also took people to the hotel where they are temporarily staying. Three people died there, it seems that they were the assassins who assassinated that kid."

"What? Why didn't anyone tell me just now?" Viscount Cusack frowned, and was about to jump up again, but Rom still held him down.

The patrol captain was so excited when he found Terrence, how could he remember why he went there?He ordered his subordinates to report the news of Terrence, so naturally he did not mention this matter.

"Could it be someone sent by His Excellency the Duke?" Viscount Cusack couldn't help asking, if His Excellency Duke Pacino had already intervened in this matter, he wouldn't have to be so nervous.

Rom shook his head: "I don't know, but it seems that the two sides fought hard, which shocked many people."

"In this case, do civilians already know the identity of the Duke of Aldret?" Viscount Cusack reacted, and immediately held Roma's hand nervously. "What should I do? I have captured the Duke!"

Rom held the Viscount's hand instead, and said in a firm and ruthless voice: "Kill him!"

Rom was born in a bandit, and he often did road robbery and house robbery. He was rescued by Viscount Cusack because of an accident, and he has been with him for two years.

He is loyal to the Viscount, and the Viscount is often willing to follow his advice.The ideas of this vicious and cunning man were also very ruthless, which made up for the weakness of the Viscount's own personality.But this time—

The Viscount turned pale with fright: "That's the Duke!"

"No, he's not." Rom tensed his facial features, and the scar across the bridge of his nose was even more hideous. "Sir, you have been deceived, that is just a brat pretending to be a nobleman, he is nothing."

Rom's firm tone confused the viscount for a moment. He almost thought that what Rom said was true, but then he immediately remembered the goshawk family crest that was still in his hand.

But Rom looked straight into the Viscount's eyes: "We have to kill him, otherwise how can we explain the arrest of a nobleman? It's okay, I imprisoned him in the name of pretending to be a nobleman, as long as we die Just stick to this point and don’t let go, the hotel doesn’t have the kid’s name registered on it at all, he is disguising his identity, this is an opportunity! Think about it, sir. Your allies must want to kill that one too Child, let's act first, not only saved ourselves, but also made a contribution, right?"

Viscount Cusack seemed a little hesitant, and Rom continued to persuade: "Don't hesitate, sir!"

"I, I know..." the Viscount took a deep breath, "But we can't do it right away, find a boy who is about the same height as Duke Aldret to be a scapegoat, say that he is pretending to be the Duke, we must first get rid of the civilians Suppress the rumors over there. Then secretly kill, kill the Duke."

"No problem." Rom stood up straight, "I'll look for it in the slums."
