Chapter 284: Uneasy

"What? Baron Winston was killed by the devil?" Renault asked in surprise.

Schroeder nodded, and said in a bit of pain:

"This is what happened late last night. The devil broke into the Winston family castle and killed the baron himself and his wife."

"Baron Winston is a senior awakener. Before he was killed, he had fought with the devil, but his strength was slightly inferior to that of the devil, and he suffered a surprise attack while he was sleeping, and was eventually killed."

"The battle also awakened the guards in the castle. Unfortunately, they couldn't organize effectively in a hurry. Finally, after the devil jumped from the window of the baron's bedroom, he killed 6 guards and successfully escaped from the castle..."

Renault sighed and said in a low voice:

"Baron Winston is a brave warrior. May his soul rest in the'Father's Kingdom'..."

He hung his head at the right time, and his right hand dashed the holy emblem of the Church of the Father on his chest.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Anyone familiar with Renault will definitely drop his jaw to the ground after seeing this scene.

Because Renault hated the Church of God the Father in private, he would never say "the kingdom of the Father" and would not draw the holy emblem of the Church of the Father on his chest, so he was completely nonsense.

This shows how hypocritical this servant is.

Schroeder broke the silence. He turned to look at Moose and said sincerely:

"Your Excellency Moose, you are a powerful and extraordinary person. This time I was asked by Lord Earl to entrust you with one thing. Of course, Lord Earl will pay you a reasonable remuneration afterwards."

Moose glanced at Schroeder noncommitantly and asked:

"His Excellency Schroeder, can you give a general introduction to Earl Eriksson's commission?"

Schroeder smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm so happy!"

"The murder of Baron Winston has had a very bad impact. Lord Earl has made up his mind to kill the devil at all costs, but the problem is that now the people in Starfish City are panicking. As the leader of the Knights, I must sit in the city to stabilize. People can’t spare time to go to Baron Winston."

"Fortunately, your arrival has solved this trouble. Lord Earl hopes that you can go to Winston Castle to investigate the whereabouts of the devil. At the same time, we will send some members of the Knights to assist you. You can also bring your chamber of commerce manpower."

"I heard that your Chamber of Commerce wants to buy a manor in Starfish City. Lord Earl happens to have an idle manor intending to sell. This manor is close to the east of the city, with a total area of ​​close to 5 hectares, and the market price is about 1,500 kinnals."

"Regardless of whether you find the devil's whereabouts or not, Lord Earl is willing to sell the manor to your chamber of commerce for 1,000 Kinnars. If you can find the devil's path and kill it, then this manor will be your reward. Your chamber of commerce can get it without paying a copper nar."

Even if Moose is extraordinary, the price offered by Earl Eriksson can be considered quite generous.

According to the information collected, the strength of the devil is only slightly stronger than that of the awakened, and it does not reach the level of the transcendent. That is to say, as long as Moose can catch the devil, he can definitely kill it. The manor is worth 1,500 Kinnar. It's easy to get there.

Obviously, in order to solve the devil as soon as possible, Earl Eriksson did offer a great reward.

The reason why the devil is a headache is that its concealment ability is terribly strong, and it only appears at night, it is extremely difficult to find it, which is the biggest difficulty of this task.

After a pause, Schroeder said again:

"In addition, the members of the Knights will carry a strange object called the'Tracking Devil's Disk'. If the devil's blood can be found on the spot, whether it is fresh blood or dried blood, just put it in the Devil's Disk. If the devil is still in the starfish Within the range of the island, it can sense the specific position of the devil."

"Unfortunately, in the previous case, we did not get such items."

"However, there have been fierce battles in Winston Castle. We inferred that it is very possible that the devil's remnants can be found on the scene."

Moose touched his bald head, and when he was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of Renault winking from the corner of his eye. He immediately understood and said calmly:

"His Excellency Schroeder, this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow morning at the latest."

After sending Schroeder away, Renault sneered and said:

"This Count Eriksson is absolutely not at ease!"

Moose was taken aback and looked at Renault with some doubts.

Renault immediately uttered the doubts in his heart.

"I suspect that the real purpose of the devil's raid on Winston Castle and killing the Earl of Winston is to lead the snake out of the cave."

"In fact, the devil's choice of targets has very obvious rules. In the previous homicides, most of the victims were ordinary people. In recent homicides, there have been frequent awakenings."

"Do you think this is just a coincidence?"

Muston suddenly realized, and asked:

"Lord Lord, are you saying that the devil wants to draw out the extraordinary? Then look for a chance to attack the extraordinary?"

Renault nodded affirmatively, his eyes flashed with a clear cold light, and said:

"Yes, although I don't know exactly what the devil will do, I believe Earl Earl and Schroeder are mostly aware of this. They entrust you to investigate the devil, and only want to use you to test the strength of the devil. ."

"If you can kill the devil, that's good, the serial murder can be completely ended; if you lose to the devil, Schroeder can figure out the devil's true strength without personal risk."

"Hey, how can these guys make a profit without losing money...

Moose was taken aback and murmured:

"No wonder Earl Eriksson deliberately paid for a manor, originally to lure us into the bait..."

Renault's voice became low:

"Not only that, I guess Earl Eriksson may have deeper calculations. If you are unfortunately killed, this Earl has a great possibility of conspiring to seize the Haichao Chamber of Commerce's property."

"In their eyes, as a transcendent, you are the backer of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce. If the backer falls, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is a super fat sheep. Can Earl Eriksson bear it?"

"Moreover, there is a direct conflict of interest between us and Earl Earl. As far as I know, the largest soap workshop on Sea Star Island is the Earl’s property."

"This workshop mainly produces medium and high-end soaps made from fish oil. It employs more than 300 people and has an annual output of close to 2 million pieces. It can bring him more than 2,000 Kinnars in profits every year."

"However, the soaps they produce are not competitive at all in front of the'Haichao' soap. In the future, the products will definitely be severely unsalable, and the workshop will close down sooner or later. Will Earl Eriksson sit and watch this happen?

"What's more, we still have the technology for sailing during the storm season, as well as these weapons manufacturing technologies. These technologies are invaluable and will definitely be worthy of Earl Eriksson."

A trace of fright flashed across Moose's face, and he immediately believed Renault's words. Isn't this kind of trickery and arrogance a method used by nobles?

If it is the local chamber of commerce that has been rooted in Haixing Island for many years, the earl may have scruples, but the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is an outsider, and the earl might have sharpened his sword.

This time the temptation is only the first step. If you don't cut off the paws that have been extended, there will be more methods in the future.

From these tricks, we can also see how cunning these nobles are.

Moose asked in a deep voice:

"Lord Lord, what should we do? Shall we reject Schroeder directly?"

Reynolds touched his chin, a stern look appeared on his face.

"There is no need to reply, Schroeder thinks it will be difficult to see your reply again..."

"Hmph, these insatiable maggots dare to calculate the master's head..."

At this moment, Renault was completely murderous.

Although he has no direct evidence, there is a kind of evidence called "free heart testimony."

The lord "feel" that you are doing the ghost, then you are doing the ghost, this is the evidence!

Besides, does murder really need evidence?

The night is like water.

Wearing Shura's armor, Renault rose from the manor to the sky, swiftly skimming the night sky, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Tonight, he is going to kill.

In the name of the devil!

This is what Renault does. Regardless of your conspiracies and tricks, this master will break them all!

Oh, noble scum, aren't you afraid of the devil?

Now that the "devil" has really come, are you ready?
