v1 Chapter 123: clock tower

The structure of the bell tower is various, most of which are connected with the house building, and a rectangular spire-shaped building extends on the roof in the middle or on both sides of the house, and this type often appears in some large private mansions, It is used for daily time discrimination, so that servants know what to do when they are.

The big clock tower in Preston is also the same structure, except that its function is not to tell the time for the servants of a certain family, but to provide time-telling services to most of the citizens living in Preston. Preston City Hall next to it.

In a sense, the construction of the big clock tower here may also mean that the government personnel are all servants of the people, but whether the people here can truly do it is another matter.

clang~clang~clang~

The routine bell at 8 o'clock in the morning shook a large number of pigeons parked in the square near the clock tower, flapping their wings in pairs, flying over the government building and rising into the sky.

Donald sat on the bench in front of the flower bed in the park at the entrance of the government, looking at the tall beige-grey clock tower nearly 20 meters high in front of him. The mottled wide stone bricks were the main material, and the top floor was in a hollowed state, with a gap of about 3 meters. Inside is a large clock whose material cannot be seen clearly.

This is the most representative clock tower in Preston that he confirmed after asking many people. It can be said that it has as long a history as Preston.

"The clock dial...is that you?"

His right arm was placed horizontally on the back of the bench behind him, and his left hand was holding an open note with the appearance of a clock dial on it. Donald looked up at the stone clock dial with a radius of nearly 1 meter and the black scales and hands on it. He had a strong hunch that he had found his goal.

Meow~

Finger raised his paws and pulled the little blue flowers in the flowerbed behind the bench, sometimes pacing back and forth on the edge, and sometimes looking back at his master who seemed to be in a daze.

"Don't step your paws into the mud, let's go and take you to breakfast."

Reaching out and grabbing Finger's stomach and holding it in his arms, Donald had no intention of going to the clock tower at this time.

This clock tower is next to the Preston City Government, and there are guards on duty at the gate of the government every day. Even the clock tower is also a government building. The area where the clock plate at the top is located is a special area. In order to prevent accidents, no outsiders are allowed to enter.

In Donald's view, the only option is to sneak in at night, when the government ends the day's work, and the number of night guards will undoubtedly decrease.

But tonight he was very busy, stuttering his meals and doing things one by one.

Whether the Dark Book can be obtained, whether Infinita's forces can successfully break out a conflict with Rastole, and whether the information he told Antoine and his sons about the Dark Book will have the desired effect, these are all questions that Donald thinks about. Care.

He wants to use this action to force all those who peep into the legacy to the bright side. Didn't he want the dark book? Let me tell you where it is. Can you argue?

Donald was fed up with being manipulated and watched by puppets, they gave him a stage and limited freedom, which was not what he wanted.

So he decided to use the dark book and pull everyone off the field. Only by seeing their faces and strengths clearly can Donald have a chance to deal with them.

The key part of this is Ogoff.

How much meat can this old dog who has been with Rastole for many years turn his back on when he turns his back on his master?

"You guys, go patrol around, the previous stronghold has been known by Kuito, this stronghold must not be discovered!"

Ogoff stood on one side of the room, with his subordinates standing in front of them. They were all Ogoff's old subordinates. They were originally distributed in various parts of Preston to help him with his affairs, but they were all recalled by him recently.

Rastole's activities over the years, although he has deliberately reduced his influence, he has spent a lot of effort in the construction of strongholds. When the previous strongholds were exposed, he realized that someone in the team had turned against Kuito's. Subordinates, so Ogoff screened the subordinate team at the fastest speed to ensure that there were no traitors in the team.

It was indeed rewarding. Ogoff quickly found out that several people under Kuito's hands had come and went to subordinates, and there was no interrogation. They all appeared in a large boiler that was cleaned up the next day. among the scum.

However, Rastole never imagined that Ogoff, who had been with him for many years and had been tested for loyalty, was the real wicked ghost...

When his subordinates left, Ogoff quickly walked to the sideboard cabinet on one side of the room, took out the fake wrapped in gray cloth from his arms and stuffed it under the cabinet.

This is where Donald and Rastoller agreed to meet tonight.

"Ogoff!"

Rastolle was calling him outside the door. Ogoff's body was shocked, and he quickly got up~lightnovelpub.net~ While sorting out the folds on his body, he opened the door and went out.

Rastolle stood at the window and looked at the pedestrians on the street outside. This was a property he bought with a lot of thought. After changing hands and covering it several times, the concealment seemed to him to be no problem, but he didn't know whether it was What's the matter, since Rastolle told him last night that His Excellency was going to re-read the Dark Book, he had been feeling inexplicably anxious.

"Your Mightiness."

"Has anything special happened recently? How's the asset transfer going..."

"A private clinic belonging to Your Excellency Cuito was raided by the police station, and the girl he sent to kidnap was found in it. At present, the police station has caught some believers. I think I will be able to follow the clues and find other parts of the church soon. , As for the assets, I have already transferred most of them, and I will leave the city of Preston by train in a week."

As the number one person under Rastoller, he has been busy with his feet not touching the ground these days.

"Oh? Cuito's stronghold has been taken up... Don't you think something is wrong, you even bought the train ticket? You did a good job. When this time is over, I will personally help you become a heretic, you There will be a whole new life!"

Rastolle regarded that strange feeling as a sense of crisis. The idea was right, but unfortunately he got the wrong object. He turned around and sat down on the rattan chair by the window, looked back at Ogoff, and tapped the rattan with his fingers. Chair handle, promise to Ogoff.

"Thank you for your gift, I will definitely handle all the next affairs!"

Ogoff naturally bowed gratefully, but there was no joy on his face facing the floor.

Do you still make such empty promises at this time?

Mr. Rastole, I did buy the train ticket, but I only bought one...
