Chapter 607

Under the dark night, a man in a taupe hood was walking fast.

Although he has been walking in the shadow as much as possible, and still walking close to the root of the wall, in the eyes of some senior thieves, this man's hiding skills are very poor. It can even be said that he keeps leaving all kinds of traces all the way.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and there were not many people in the street. Except for the soldiers of the seventh Corps who kept patrolling back and forth, they didn't see anyone again. Logically speaking, walking up such a heavily guarded street, even the most senior thieves and even assassins must move forward carefully, but for this person, it seems like entering a deserted place. He can always move forward in the blind spot of vision between the two patrols, which is almost less than a second.

Many people have noticed the sight of the man wearing the adventurer's cloak. After discovering this, they have chosen to take back their sight.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people in tonis fortress. Even though the seventh Legion has fully implemented military control, no one knows how many people with different purposes have been mixed in this huge fortress when a huge stream of people poured into it. In addition, with the imminent promotion of the Principality of lane, both the upper and lower nobles in the domestic aristocracy circle are facing a reshuffle. Therefore, although there is no invasion of foreign enemies for the time being, it is still impossible to avoid that the whole kingdom of lane will fall into a state of political turmoil in a short time.

Usually, political turmoil often means conspiracy, assassination, and even the decline and destruction of one, two or even several families.

Political victims, that's all.

However, the political turmoil that Ryan kingdom will cause this time is actually limited to a relatively small scope.

To put it bluntly, that is, the interest contradiction between the old Ryan aristocracy and the capitulationist emerging Ryan aristocracy.

In a state of almost no one, the mysterious man soon came to a small hotel that looked rather shabby.

This is a hotel with certain historical traces in the inner city of tonis fortress. It is said that it was established when the fortress began construction. During that busy time, the hotel always provided the soldiers and a few workers in the fortress with high-quality and cheap food and hot wine. Therefore, later, when the fortress was completed, the Marquis of tonis fortress held a celebration banquet here, which later became the most proud sign of the hotel.

However, with the change of time, when more and more people began to pour into the fortress, all kinds of more high-grade pubs and hotels began to open, and the hotel was gradually forgotten in people's memory. Today, the hotel has become the best choice for poor travelers - even adventurers with a little money will not stay here.

But for some people, the existence value of this hotel is very high.

Because there are no adventurers, mercenaries, demon hunters and so on, the hotel will not be popular. The unpopular place usually means the lack of intelligence exchange, which is naturally a worthless place for those who rely on intelligence for food, so there will be no spies coming to such a place. In this way, the hotel is equivalent to a natural sound insulation place, so in the eyes of those who really know the goods, this hotel is the best choice.

The man who had not revealed his identity so far took a careful look, and then pushed open the wooden door of the hotel and went in.

A rotten and moldy smell came up, which made the mysterious man's eyebrows wrinkle slightly.

The boss in the counter in the hotel is an old man. His face is actually close to the bone, giving people an abnormal feeling. He raised his head slightly and looked at the mysterious man entering the door. His eyes were so indifferent that it was incredible. The mysterious man wearing a cloak even had an illusion of being seen through. How long has he not appeared?

"There's only one room left." The old man's voice was hoarse like blowing out of a bellows. The mysterious man could even see that when the old man said this, his chest was even compressed directly, which made him very worried about whether the old man would die directly after saying the next sentence.

"No, I'm just looking for someone." The mysterious man said quickly. Even he didn't know why he was so restrained in front of the old man. It felt like meeting an elder.

"The woman with the dragon on her head?" The old man glanced at each other. "Go up. It's the second room on the left. They haven't slept yet."

The mysterious man said his thanks with some restraint, then turned and began to go upstairs.

The whole small hotel gave people a feeling that it would collapse at any time. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he gave a creak. It seemed that he would be crushed if he tried harder. In this way, naturally, he only dared to go upstairs carefully and not too hard, but fortunately, when he went up to the second floor, the floor became much thicker, which made him feel a little relaxed.

The corridor on the second floor of the small hotel can see obvious signs of modification. It seems that there was no such corridor at the beginning, but even so, this corridor can only accommodate one person. According to the old man, the man who had not taken off his hood and cloak knocked on the door of the second room on the left, and then the door was opened the next moment.

The hotel room is narrower than expected, just a bed against the wall, a table near the window and a chair. There is nothing else. However, it can be seen that these things are obviously very old and have a history of at least more than ten years. It can be seen that these things definitely existed before the completion of tonis fortress.

The only advantage is that the bedding in the room is washed very clean and even gives off a faint fragrance.

It was Rena who opened the door. She had taken off her cloak and armor. She was only wearing a white coarse cloth shirt and a pair of legged trousers. The whole person looked like a tough feeling.

After seeing Rena, the man finally lifted his hood.

The face under the hood was broad.

Rena's eyes flashed a different color. It was obvious that she didn't know Brod's intention to go here in such a deep night. For a time, the atmosphere outside the room seemed a little tangled and low. After all, the two sides almost fought this morning. As a result, it was not long before Broder visited late at night. No wonder at this moment, Rena immediately tightened her nerves.

In the room, Sean sat at his desk and seemed to be flipping through a book. He read it so seriously that he didn't find it at the first time when Brod came. It was not until the atmosphere in the room became a little strange and low that Sean came back. When he turned around, he saw that Broder had been blocked out by Rena and started at once.

Cecilia, who was lying in bed, opened her eyes and looked at the man outside the door. When she saw that it was Broder, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. The journey these days has made her feel very tired. With Broder's strength and situation, it is not enough for everyone in the room to go out together. A Rena is enough for him to come back. So just turned over and Cecilia fell asleep again.

As for xuefanio, she leaned against the window and didn't know what she was looking at. The ice Lin was placed aside by her. From head to tail, she didn't even sweep the rest of her eyes to Broder.

"Let him in." Sean whispered.

Rena looked back at Sean with some confusion in her eyes, but after seeing Sean nodding, Rena still got out of the way and let Brod in.

After entering the door, Broder closed the door, but after glancing at the room and seeing that there were no extra chairs, and Rena and shefanio were standing, Broder simply took off his cloak, threw it on the ground and sat down. This action made Sean's face a little surprised. It felt that Brod had indeed changed a lot in the past year, which changed Sean's original frivolous attitude a little.

"You came a little later than I expected." Sean whispered.

"It's not easy to cross most of the inner city without being found by anyone." Broder said, "what's going on at Fort tonis now? I'm sure you should see it clearly today."

"Indeed." Sean nodded.

At this point, Sean glanced at broad with interest and said with a smile, "but I didn't expect you to say that this morning. I thought... "

"Thought I'd tell you about your coming here?" Broad interrupted Sean.

Sean smiled noncommittally.

"If it had been before the war with the kingdom of dabion, I would have done so, but not after that." Broder looked calm and said calmly, "I know we may have had some holidays in the past, but in my opinion, those are just small things. As you said, we are all aristocrats, so you and I know what the aristocrats do. Then you must have heard a sentence... "

This time, Sean interrupted Broder's voice: "there are no absolute friends, only absolute interests, right If I remember correctly, we are not even friends, are we? "

"Friends and enemies are always between one thought." Broder shrugged. "And I don't think our hatred will be too great before. Of course, I did go too far that time, so in order to show my sincerity, I apologize to you here, and I have prepared a manor for you in Wangdu to ensure that no one can harass you if you don't want to. "

"Except you?" Sean's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, except me." Broder admitted frankly, "after all, the manor has to pass through my hand. But I can guarantee that this manor is absolutely clean. Even if you move in, no one will know the relationship between me and you. "

"Do you want to reach a secret alliance agreement with me?" Sean tilted his head.

"Yes." Broder nodded. "We all know that after the upgrading of the Principality of Ryan, the domestic political situation will inevitably be turbulent. Of course, now the Principality of lane has also been divided into the nobles inside the great wall and the nobles outside the Great Wall... "

"The distribution in the aristocratic circle has been finalized?" Sean asked in some surprise.

Aristocratic circles have never been invariable. They choose to stick together or oppose each other because of different political ideas or entanglement of interests. Therefore, in order to continue to ensure the establishment of their own family in the country, they will choose to form an alliance with other noble families, whether it is group or opposition. This alliance relationship is deep or shallow, but once an alliance agreement is reached, a fixed circle will be formed.

Usually, the circle that has been established for a long time will become an old aristocrat, while those families that have only recently become aristocrats are generally called emerging aristocrats. If an emerging aristocrat does not have an old aristocrat as a introducer, the aristocrat will be completely excluded from the circle. Therefore, if those families called emerging aristocrats do not want to become political victims, they will also choose to stick together, so the contradiction between new and old aristocrats will naturally unfold.

This is an inevitable struggle among aristocrats in all countries.

However, in different national histories, there are completely different definitions of new and old aristocrats. For example, in the Principality of lane, the old nobles are those families that have been established for at least 200 years. Because there are almost no new nobles in the middle for nearly 100 years, the distribution of new and old nobles is very clear and there is no fuzzy boundary.

Therefore, the distribution in the aristocratic circle is not just casual, at least we must reach a certain consensus.

"Yes." As one of the old aristocrats, Brod certainly knew what Sean meant, so he nodded.

"What about the contradiction between the old aristocrats and the new aristocrats?" Sean's brow suddenly frowned. "Isn't there an irreconcilable huge conflict of interest between the two? Why did they suddenly join hands? "

"So I said, there are no absolute enemies and friends in this world, only absolute interests." Broder shrugged. "Those old nobles gave up all kinds of materials and resources with a total value of about 18 million gold coins, so those new nobles naturally rushed up at the first time. At least before the end of this great turmoil, Ryan Kingdom... "Broder specially emphasized the four words of" Ryan kingdom ":" those nobles who were granted the title before have been united. "

Sean did not expect that the political situation in Ryan kingdom would change so quickly, which was completely beyond his cognitive range.

At least, he remembered that there was no such situation in the game.

"What do you mean?" Sean asked in a deep voice.

"I have only one request." Broder whispered, "help me become the next owner of the rodis family, and I will be on your side."
