Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The first snow in early winter fell, rustling, but it seemed that early winter was more peaceful.

Some cicadas are noisy and the forest is more than quiet.

Rain cleans the dust, snow cleans the gods.If the snow was bigger, it seemed that the whole world could be purified, but this was only the first snow in early winter, so it was melted by the high temperature as soon as it fell on the ground, and it became a place of unwilling tears.

The people in Leonard's territory were enjoying the first snow, calmly accepting the arrival of winter, because they had prepared everything.

But in Darkmoon Town far away from Little Thorn Castle, it was different.

Darkmoon Town is a town located on the edge of the Darkmoon Forest. The town is built in a valley and rarely communicates with outsiders.

Darkmoon Town looks as impoverished as Eveningbell Town back then, and the annual tax of this territory is as low as that of Eveningbell Town.

But there are hidden worlds in Dark Moon Town.

The lord of Darkmoon Town is called Grote Warner. He inherited his father's position as a baron, inherited the baron's position and this small territory, and lived in the dilapidated Darkmoon Castle as a lord.

Then his brother Thorndike Warner, following I don't know what tradition, went to be a robber.

Oh, this is the noble robber.

In this era, it was quite common for the second son of a nobleman to become a robber.

This kind of aristocratic and robber behavior is naturally strictly prohibited in the territory of Thorn Green, so the identity that his younger brother Thorndike Warner told the people of Darkmoon Town is a businessman.Every time he went out with his men and came back with goods, he also looked like a businessman.

The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, after all, there are too many people talking about it.

Therefore, except for his elder brother Grote and a few closest subordinates, no one else knew the identity of his younger brother Thorndike.

Sometimes people under his command were injured. When Thorndike came back, he explained to his brother's vassals that they had encountered robbers.

Well, it is true that a group of people encountered robbers, but it is not known who the robbers are.

Thorndike is also very smart. Every time he robs, he goes further east instead of robbing nearby.

This avoids attracting the attention of nearby nobles and associating the bandit with them.

However, they also encountered other noble bandits when they robbed in the east.

"Yo, grab it."

"Yeah, grabbing it."

"Hurry up, I'm leaving first."

"Okay okay."

Hmm... Then the greeting as above, of course, is not so funny, usually everyone tacitly passes by.

In addition, the bandit group of the younger brother Thorndike has a certain connection with the local bandit group. Generally, if bandits are too rampant in an area, several small lords will unite and send out a little soldier to suppress the bandits. After all, a small territory can support There are too few troops, so everyone has to come together.

The elder brother Grote held a meeting with other lords to formulate a plan to suppress the bandits.

Then he turned around and told his brother Thorndike the detailed plan.

Brother Thorndike then notified the nearby robbers.

Oh, that's 'Grey Wheal'.

There are more robbers here to cover your identity.

The group of lunatics from the 'Grey Wind Group' would sometimes evade, and occasionally, relying on their preparation, they would head-to-head with the knights of these lords.

After going back and forth a few times, some soldiers were lost, and the lords here are not willing to suppress the bandits anymore.

This is also the main reason why the 'Grey Wind Group' developed to such a large size later.

The younger brother Thorndike is actually a little afraid of many robbers in the "Grey Wind Group", some of them are really crazy.

For example, the robber named Spender, his younger brother Thorndike felt that his martial arts skills were superior to his, but he would probably be killed after a few moves against him, because the ruthlessness of the other party was really terrifying. The other party stared at it, as if being stared at by a hungry wolf looking for food in the desert.But later it was heard that Spender had fallen ill, and his status plummeted.

Under normal circumstances, apart from going to the east to snatch caravans, their brothers also do such cunning things——

The elder brother Grote made a deal with some local lords, and later let his younger brother Thorndike rob him, and then let the other party lose both money and goods.

They work very well together.

Of course, my elder brother Grote will also choose a partner, and he can't be robbed every time he does business, which is too easy to arouse suspicion.

So although Darkmoon Town looks pitiful, Darkmoon Castle is quite rich.

At least the two brothers enjoyed it quite a bit, but the others couldn't because they were untouchables.

Later, the "Grey Wind Group" was wiped out, and his elder brother Grote was terrified. He told his younger brother Thorndike to avoid the people in Little Thorn Castle. It's gone, and the lord of Little Thorn Castle didn't have a meeting with other lords, and directly dispatched his own men.It's really terrible.

The destruction of the 'Grey Wind Group' brought a lot of impact.

Because of the expansion of Little Thorn Castle, Thorndike's bandits had less and less to gain, and he had to go further east.

I'm used to getting quick money, so I can't stand regular development, and I can't develop now.

This is like gambling. If a dice is thrown, there is a half chance that the previous debts will be wiped out, and you will get rich all at once. This kind of temptation is like a devil.It is completely unacceptable to work hard and suffer and work hard and only earn tens of hundreds of dollars a day.

Gambling magnifies the shortcomings of people's hearts, and doing this kind of business without capital is the same.

The brothers could no longer enjoy the things they had before, and then they found that they didn't even have much money left to buy food.

Because it was stolen before, I didn't cherish it, and I didn't have much awareness of saving money.

At the end of summer, the caravan from Little Thorn Castle passed through Darkmoon Town, and his elder brother Grote spent silver coins to eat delicious jelly.The crystal clear and refreshing taste made him dream about it.The elder brother Grote specially left some for the younger brother who went out, and the younger brother Thorndike

The caravan leader of Little Thorn Castle said at the time that there are more delicious things in Little Thorn Castle than this, and there are many more delicious things in the restaurants in Wanzhong Town.

Not long after the first snow fell in winter, a bard came to Darkmoon Town and sang a song praising Little Thorn Castle in Darkmoon Castle.

How rich, warm and cozy it is there.

There are gold coins, Maggie, and Eagle Bruce's horse...

Brother Grote's eyes turned red when he heard this.

After the bard left, his younger brother Thorndike pleaded: "Brother, let me go and find one of their caravans to rob. We have done many such things before, no problem."

"There are more than a dozen knights in each of their caravans." Grote said solemnly, "and they wiped out the 'Grey Wind Group'."

"I heard that the 'Grey Wind Group' surrendered directly, not wiped out at all." Brother Thorndike said, "And I led thirty knights to fight them." He took off his shirt and showed it to his brother Grote The muscles on his body, "And you know my martial arts, my dear brother, I am worth three experienced knights alone."

Thorndike's martial arts is indeed very high, or he is also very good in every aspect, including that kind of technique.

He was smarter and braver than his brother when he was a child, so his father paid more attention to training him.

Then he suddenly told his father that he liked men.

His father said gently, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether you like men or women or lambs."

The younger brother Thorndike was shocked by the 'lamb' and couldn't help feeling that ginger was still hot.

Oh, there were indeed some people who liked the sun goat at that time (…).

His father continued: "But you have to have a marriage partner, and you have to have a descendant."

Brother Thorndike said seriously: "I refuse, father, I will not touch any woman, and I will have no offspring."

His father didn't take it seriously at the time, he just thought that children were ignorant.But then he really did it, and fought against his father in various ways.Finally, in a fit of anger, his father disqualified him as heir and replaced him with his brother Grote.

At that time, Warner Sr. was seriously ill, and after announcing Grote as his heir, he was bedridden.

Grote walked to Old Warner's bed, kissed his father's forehead, and said, "Father, I heard that Thorndike said he liked men."

"Yes, ahem, that evil..." Old Warner coughed.

"Well, do you know?" Grote whispered in his ear, "The person he likes is exactly me."

"You, you..." Old Warner coughed frantically, unable to catch his breath.

Grote stood up straight and looked at him with a smile: "I will give you a beautiful funeral, Father."

In the end, the old Warner died with regret.

After the funeral.

"Darkmoon Town is finally ours." Thorndike said, kissing his brother.

"Yes, it's mine and yours," said Grote.

Now, looking at his younger brother, and recalling the comfortable life he lived before, Grote finally nodded, "Okay, let's do it."

Brother Thorndike showed a happy expression.

After making a decision, his elder brother Grote immediately acted. He said to Dorothea, the caravan leader of Little Thorn Fort, "I heard that you are establishing a jelly trade with nobles from other territories?"

"Yes, my lord," said Dorothea.

"I also want to buy a batch of jelly, but I have limited gold coins here, so I can only buy some. Can you send them over?" Grote asked.

"Of course, my lord," said Dorothea, "will I bring it to you next time?"

"Can I have it as soon as possible?" Grote asked. "Shall I send someone to Little Thorn Castle first? Will you send someone to take me there?"

"Yes, my lord," said Dorothea.

Grote thought clearly.

There were too many main caravan guards in Little Thorn Castle, so Grote said this on purpose, so that Little Thorn Castle could send out a small team to escort Jelly here.

At that time, Grote asked his subordinates to tell the lord of Little Thorn Castle that there are livestock for sale in Darkmoon Town, so bring some gold coins over and grab them when the time comes, hey, it's a pleasure.

Grote knew that there were already two caravans outside Little Thorn Fort, and if there was another team, there would not be too many guards.

Indeed, Leonard couldn't spare too many cavalry to escort the caravan. After all, the cavalry also had their own tasks on weekdays.

So Grote thought of such a way.

After talking with Dorothea, the caravan leader of Little Thorn Castle, Grote called his most loyal subordinate, Pittman, and he said seriously: "Pittman, you are my most loyal subordinate, I trust you more than Trust my brother." Grote would still say such words to buy people's hearts.

The confidant Pittman said emotionally: "My lord, I will die for you."

"Very good. Next, I will assign you a task." Grote said, "You are going to Little Thorn Castle, and tell the lord there that you want to buy some jelly, and that we have a batch of livestock to sell, and the price is The market price here. Little Thorn Castle has been buying livestock from outsiders, so it will not miss this opportunity. Ask them to bring gold coins, and then have as few guards as possible, and take them to Darkmoon Town according to the prescribed route."

The confidant Pittman realized something: "Do you want Lord Thorndike to take action?"

As Grote's most trusted subordinate, of course he knew that the lord's younger brother was a robber, so when he heard Grote's arrangement, he understood that he wanted to lure the people of Little Thorn Castle into Thorndike's trap.

"Yes." Grote Warner said, "but don't say it, and do things more quickly."

"Okay, my lord." said his confidant Pittman.

So his confidant Pittman, under the leadership of the leader of the Little Thorn Fort caravan, rode a horse and went to Little Thorn Fort.

After stepping into Little Thorn Castle, Pittman was stunned.

He originally thought that the bard's description was too exaggerated, but when he really got here, he felt that the bard was still not strong enough to describe this place well.

The gates of the castle were winched up, revealing the real castle.

It looks like most castles in appearance, but the battlements and watchtowers are taller than ordinary small castles.

After stepping in, it immediately rushed to the warm breath like spring.

This kind of warmth does not emanate from the fireplace over there, but really emanates from all directions.

The air smelled of spices, butter and roasted meat, and it looked like it was dinner time.

Pittman was ushered into the dining room, which was also warm, with a warm light emitting from the fireplace, and two hounds lying there.

Everything was dazzling, the food on the table was like nothing he had ever seen before, the walls were hung with precious blankets, and everyone was smiling, even the slaves, looking rosy and refreshed.

"It's a guest from Darkmoon Town. It must be frozen. Let's sit down and eat."

The lord of Little Thorn Castle wore a graceful and luxurious velvet robe, with a chic half-cape hanging from his left shoulder, fastened with a sapphire-carved brooch, and the family crest embroidered with dark green silk thread on his chest.

This is true nobility.Pittman couldn't help the thought.

Dazed, he sat down to eat with them, falling into deeper dreams after the first bite of meat.

This is so delicious and this place is so good and so great.

He even used the word 'great' to describe it because it was so good.

However, it can be regarded as a false hit. There are indeed some great places in Little Thorn Castle, but it is definitely not the prosperity on the surface.

This, this meat is too fresh and tender, it tastes delicious.

Wow, the fat inside this thing is so fragrant, the meat is so juicy and tender, what the hell is it, it's so delicious!

That thing called bean sprouts is so crisp and appetizing.

……

……

After the dinner, Leonard called the emissary of Darkmoon Town who seemed dizzy to the study and started to discuss business.

Leonard had heard of Darkmoon Town. There was still a certain distance between Darkmoon Town and Evening Bell Town, and it was said that it was quite poor, so Leonard hadn't paid much attention to it.But the lord of Darkmoon Town took the initiative to come over to do business, and Leonard must have agreed.

The messenger from Darkmoon Town was called Pittman, and he talked about buying jelly in a daze, and Leonard agreed without hesitation.

Then Pittman seemed to wake up a bit, and said, "Lord, we still have some livestock."

"Oh, then send it over to me," Leonard said.

"Eh, can you send someone over to get it in person? Darkmoon Town can't have too many escorts." Pittman said.

"Is there something wrong with your livestock?" Leonard asked, "It is reasonable to say that the slaves should be idle at this time."

It should also be delivered by someone.

Pittman Khan: "No, no problem, no problem with livestock."

Leonard said casually: "Then there is something wrong with people."

Pittman was poked in the center, trembling and speechless.

Leonard glanced at him, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Okay, then I'll send someone to buy it with gold coins, and I'll send a few more knights to accompany them for protection."

"Uh, no need, my lord, just send some slaves. There are not too many livestock, and there is no need for too many guards, and the area is quite safe now. I, we don't have many livestock in our town, so don't worry too much." More guards," Pittman said, his words somewhat incoherent.

In fact, he was originally a very clever person, but his mood fluctuated too much before, so now he is a little incoherent.

Leonard smiled, he already understood that the other party had a problem.

"You wait first." Leonard said, "Cronin, call Mayor Parker."

The servant Cronin immediately took orders, and he has now become Leonard's personal servant.

Mayor Parker arrived soon, and Leonard said to Pittman, "This is Mayor Parker from Evening Bell Town."

Mayor of Evening Bells!Pittman was startled, and saw that Mayor Parker had a refined appearance, wearing a white shirt with gold-plated buttons, and looked dignified and dignified.

"I've seen you, sir." Pittman saluted immediately.

Mayor Parker nodded and asked, "My lord, may I ask why you called me?"

Leonard said: "Let you give him some teachings from the predecessors."

Well... what is Mayor Parker best at?The best thing is of course brain supplementation.

Putting him together with a person who has a ghost in his heart, the effect is naturally very good.

Then, under Leonard's order, Pittman briefly introduced Darkmoon Town to Mayor Parker: "We are next to Darkmoon Forest, and there are hunting teams in the town, who will regularly organize them to pick fruits and then exchange them for food... ..."

"Tell me about your lord," Leonard said.

"The lord is a very good lord, shrewd and capable..." Pittman started talking nonsense.

Leonard probed and asked, "Do you have any family members? Are you married?"

"Eh, there is a family member, the lord's younger brother." Pittman said.

"Oh, don't their brothers fight for power?" Leonard asked casually.

Pittman Khan: "Well, that Mr. Thorndike is usually not at home."

oh.Leonard nodded, and stopped asking, but continued: "Your Darkmoon Town sounds poor, and you really need to develop well."

"Uh, uh..." Pittman didn't know what to say.

After he entered Little Thorn Castle, he was shocked by the environment here. Compared with Little Thorn Castle, their Darkmoon Castle was really not that good.Awful.

"Okay, I'll send fifteen knights to guard, and then bring thirty gold coins." Leonard said.

"This..." said Pittman.Didn't you mean to send fewer knights?Fifteen is not too many, but it is not too few...

"I understand everything you said, very well, so I sent so many knights, well, you can go down." Leonard said, "Mayor Parker, you should have something to say to him. "

"Ah? Ah, yes." Mayor Parker said blankly.

……

The wind of cleansing cream blows on the face, which is cold.

The snowflakes on the roof shone with a crystal blue light.

The sky is light gray, and although the sun is very bright, it still feels like the air is full of haze.

Pittman and Mayor Parker came out together, and Pittman said nervously, "My lord, what do you want to say to me?"

Parker really pondered: "I'm also thinking about the meaning of Lord Lord's words."

"You mean, there's something in Mr. Green's words?" Pittman asked uneasily.

"Of course." Mayor Parker said, "You have to know that every word of all the lords is meaningful."

Pittman was even more terrified.

"You should know more than I do. You should think about it together with the words of my lord and your lord." Mayor Parker said.

Under the 'guidance' of Mayor Parker, Pittman began to think.

Lord Grote said: Pittman, you are my most loyal subordinate, and I trust you more than my brother.

Lord Leonard said: Oh, don't their brothers fight for power?

A bolt of lightning flashed across Pittman's brain.

Could it be that the lord is going to attack his younger brother?How can this be?this……

The lord said that he is more trustworthy than his brother, which means that he no longer trusts his brother!

Seeing Pittman's expression, Mayor Parker said, "Isn't it unbelievable that you thought about it?"

"But it's impossible," said Pittman, shaking his head.

Mayor Parker said: "It's not impossible. Those noble gentlemen think differently from you and me. Many things are not what they seem. You have to think about them. Think about their inner things. The noble gentlemen are very rational. They You can’t expose yourself by doing a lot of things, so you say something meaningful, let us subordinates taste it by ourselves, and they may have reached some kind of agreement. You taste, you carefully taste.”

Mayor Parker spoke entirely from the experience of Leonard's second brother, Vito. He came to some conclusions after crazy brainstorming last time, and then followed him to Thorn Castle, and was praised by the young master of the Green family. , Mayor Parker felt very honored at the time.That's the young master of the Green family!It will belong to the Duke in the future!

Pittman began to think seriously.

"Your Darkmoon Town sounds poor, and you really should develop it well."

Doesn't this sentence mean that Darkmoon Town is still poor even though there are bandits, so it should be developed in a different way?

Then, Mr. Thorndike is a stepping stone to develop in another way!

"I understand what you said, very well, so I sent so many knights, well, you can go down."

Oh yes, Mayor Parker is right, the two masters should have reached an agreement, so after hearing what he said, Master Green said directly, I understand what you said, so I sent So many knights.The purpose is to get rid of Mr. Thorndike!

It turns out that Master Green and his lord are thinking about the third floor!And he only thought about the second layer.I see.

Leonard: No, this wave you are in the atmosphere.

"I see!" Pittman said happily, "Thank you, Master Parker."

"You're welcome, we are also doing it for our lord." Mayor Parker said, "So, do you know what to do? Your lord will not assign such an important job to you, so you must perform well!"

Pittman nodded seriously: "I see, I'll go to see your knight commander and ask him to send fifteen of the best knights to prepare in advance to capture the lord's younger brother alive."

Mayor Parker: "...Ah? What did you say?"

Pittman said: "Ah, why are you so confused... Oh, I understand, Mr. Parker, you are too powerful, you are really my senior. The lord needs to get himself out of these, so we can't say these things openly , That's why you put on a puzzled expression, your reaction is really too fast, I still have a lot to learn. Well, yes, we just conducted ordinary trade, there are no robbers or anything."

Mayor Parker: "You seem to be..."

Hey, did I make a mistake?

"I'll go first." Pittman said excitedly.

He felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

In a sense, it is indeed a gate to a new world...
