Chapter 527: Conspiracy by the River

The moon hung high in the sky, and the man wrapped in a cloak walked silently along the Vis River. He watched the quietly flowing river move forward, occasionally turning back in the opposite direction. Looking at it, he saw that the lights of Huxin Town, which had not yet been completely extinguished, were moving away from him.

He gradually walked to a shallow shoal, and a huge stone came into view. This huge stone was embedded at the junction of the land and the river, half on the land and half in the river.

There is a man sitting on the boulder, holding a fishing rod, waiting attentively for the fish to take the bait. This is indeed a good place for fishing.

The cloaked man moved closer to the boulder. Although the boulder was big, it was not high. He stepped on the smaller rocks next to it and came to the boulder. He sat down next to the man who was fishing.

The cloaked man asked: "How many fish did you catch today?"

The angler waved his hand and sighed: "Hey, forget it, not a single one was hooked, but I caught a turtle and asked me to throw it back."

Then the two of them fell into silence. The angler continued to wait for the fish to take the bait, while the cloaked man looked at the moon shadow in the water in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, the man in the cloak asked: "Have you finalized everything?"

The angler nodded, "Okay."

"Then I'll go back and inform the old guys. By the way, can you tell me more specifically? Oh, I'm not doubting your ability, but it's always good to have one more person to consider."

"There is nothing to hide. Anyway, we are on the same boat now. Next month the garrison in Lake Center Town will go to Emden for training. It is also the day when the nearby militiamen come to Lake Center Town for training. We will use the militia to start an uprising."

"Militia? Can't you raise a decent army and find a reason to leave one behind?"

"It's not as simple as you think. The senior management has very tight control over the standing army. At least with my current status, I can't command even a single soldier."

The angler shook his fishing rod and said with ridicule in his tone: "Really? Everyone in your hometown thinks you have become a high official under the lord."

The cloaked man ignored his ridicule and said calmly: "The system of the Arda army is very complicated, and the internal distribution of powers and responsibilities is very clear. It can't be explained clearly in a few sentences. Besides, the officers and soldiers of the standing army are not good... they are not easy to fool. , Militiamen who are not familiar with various regulations within the army are easier to encourage.”

"Okay!" The angler shrugged, "As long as you can complete your part of the task."

"Where are you?"

"It's all arranged."

"I want to remind you!" The cloaked man said very seriously: "You must pay attention to the advice I give you, and you must occupy the communication base station as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay! I will go back and notify you of your reminder!"

The angler made a reassuring gesture, but he didn't know if he heard it in his heart.

The cloaked man said with some concern: "If you let the count out of control, he will immediately summon troops from all over the country to be loyal to him, and the small flames ignited on our side will soon be extinguished."

"Haha!" The angler laughed softly, "Don't worry, the old guys have also invited strong foreign aid."

"Foreign aid?" The cloaked man was very surprised.

"There are many people outside who are coveting the wealth that Earl Grayman has accumulated in the past few years! There is a certain nearby lord - forgive me for not revealing his name now, you will know when the time comes - and E There are some vassal territories in Mden, and they are very interested in many things in the earl’s hands.”

"You...you actually colluded with outsiders? Aren't you afraid of bringing in hungry wolves?"

"A hungry wolf? Paul Grayman is a hungry wolf. Look at the way he exploits us. The other lords are the messengers of justice who rescue us."

"You guys...well, okay."

The cloaked man sighed helplessly and lowered his head.

"Besides!" the angler continued to enlighten him, "With the support of other lords, the matter of the heir can go more smoothly. Let that adult communicate how to explain this matter to the Duke of Northwest and the royal family."

The cloaked man raised his head, "Speaking of the successor, who did you choose? Send him to Lake Town in the next few days."

The angler shook his head, "Although the direct line of the Graiman family is thin, the branches have spread out a lot over the past few hundred years. It's really a headache to decide which branch to inherit the territory. ”

The cloaked man was shocked and angry, "There is almost an uprising, but such an important issue is still being raised? What do you do for food? There is no heir, and even if you control every aspect of Lake Town, you don't have a formal title. , How will the follow-up unfold? If there is no new lord in place, those lords who are friendly with the count will immediately suppress us as a rebellion. "

The angler chuckled and said, "It's precisely because it's an important issue, so we have to choose carefully. Who will inherit the territory? Of course, whoever promises more benefits will inherit it. Don't worry, you must give people to you before taking action. You send it over."

He glanced at the cloaked man and gently poked the other person's body with his elbow, "I can hear that you feel guilty when you say your words. Why?"

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

The cloaked man lowered his head again. Because it was night and he was wearing a hood, the angler could not see his current expression clearly.

"I...after all, I swore an oath to Count Greyman."

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" The fisherman was a little amused, "Do you really think of yourself as a knight under the earl?"

"The earl's requirements for us are higher than those for knights. To be honest, if it weren't for my family, I would be very happy to serve Earl Graman. The earl... let me know a lot of things I didn't know before. Maybe you who live in the countryside don't know, just the whole of Arda... no, even the whole Northwest Bay, because of Earl Graman, there have been so many incredible changes."

"Oh, I can feel it a little bit. There hasn't been a flood in my hometown for two years. Thanks to Graman for building the reservoir and dam. In droughts, we can use the water in the reservoir for irrigation. Hey, do you know? He paid the workers when he built the reservoir. If you ask me..."

The fisherman sneered, "What a fucking fool... He is a dignified lord."

The cloaked man looked at the fisherman speechlessly, and for a moment he felt that he seemed to have made a wrong decision.

He suddenly reached out and held the fisherman's arm, holding it very hard.

"Please take my words back. When the time comes, please don't let Earl Graman die in too much pain."

"Don't worry!" The fisherman took his hand away with his other hand and sneered, "It's only a moment. Our lord - let me call him that for the last time - won't suffer for too long. He will soon return to the arms of the Lord of Light."
