…
As far as Matthew knows.
Zeller's position in the Lord's Mansion is the intelligence manager and the person in charge of adventurer-related affairs.
This man was deeply trusted by Rhaegar.
This can be seen from the incident of Sif's kidnapping, when Rhaegar left the matter of detecting traitors to Zeller.
And Zeller was worthy of Rhaegar's trust.
He rarely appeared in non-work situations, but he could always be inseparable from Rhaegar. Whenever the head of the Blood Flag family appeared, Zeller could often be found within ten steps.
It's been a long time.
So much so that there is even an extremely outrageous rumor in some small circles in Rolling Stone Town - some people say that Zeller is Rhaegar's new love who changed his orientation in anger after being betrayed by his wife.
But Matthew thinks this is nonsense.
He didn't find the slightest hint of a couple between the two.
not to mention.
Matthew had already known from Sif that Zeller followed Rhaegar before the latter married a wife and had children. The two should have accumulated a pure and deep friendship through years of fighting side by side.
The person who fabricated that rumor was probably jealous of Zeller's transcendent status in the lord's palace and his face that could bring disaster to the country and the people.
…
"Thanks for reminding."
When Matthew heard this, he clasped his hands and said in deep thought:
"So your Lordship's visit tonight is your intention?"
Zeller smiled softly:
"No, this is what I meant. Rhaegar was not happy to let a necromancer interfere with the intelligence work of Rolling Stone Town, but I convinced him."
Matthew gently squeezed his knuckles:
"what do you want to do?"
He heard what Zeller meant.
Zeller stretched his right hand into the sleeve of his left hand, and then there was a high-quality kraft paper envelope between his index and middle fingers.
He placed the envelope in front of Matthew and said calmly:
"This is the entire content of the intelligence. You read it while I tell you."
Matthew didn't hesitate.
There was no seal on the envelope, so when you untied the red string on it, several pieces of tissue paper slipped out.
Matthew gave a cursory glance and frowned slightly.
"A bit tricky, isn't it?"
Zeller took a sip of cold ginger water:
"It would be fine if there was only one Calamity Order. I had never thought before that Rolling Stone Town would one day be targeted by three notorious evil organizations at the same time. The timing is too coincidental. I am afraid that no one among them would organize the plan.
Even Brad wouldn't believe it."
Matthew looked at the three organizations mentioned in the intelligence that might attack Rolling Stone Town in the near future——
Catastrophe Order;
Silverfrost Brotherhood;
Order of Blight;
“What’s even more ironic is that these three organizations actually sent us threatening letters or letters of challenge in their own names!
I even wrote down the approximate time and place of the action, so what should I say?
Should we admit that the current leaders of criminal organizations are really unconventional in their thinking?
Or should we lament that Lei Jia has kept a low profile for so many years, so that the outside world has forgotten the violence and terror under the gentle appearance of the Blood Flag family?"
Zeller's speaking speed was very smooth and steady.
But when it comes to the last sentence.
Matthew felt an outpouring of anger.
"He does seem to regard himself as a member of the Blood Flag family?"
Such thoughts flashed through Matthew's mind.
His eyes quickly scanned all the words.
Not long after.
Matthew already knew everything.
"As you can see, the Southern Patriarch of the "Calamity Order" requires us to hand over the murderers of their members and pay 50% of the tax every year as annual tribute, otherwise they will raze Rolling Stone to the ground;
The big boss of the "Silver Frost Brotherhood" requires us to hand over the two arsonists who are currently in the prison of Rolling Stone Town, and to hand over 60% of the tax every year as annual tribute, and to provide a base for the Silver Frost Brotherhood to train reserve members.
, in the end, they even asked us to send 50 women every year to solve marriage problems for their members;
As for the "Cult of Blight," ah, they are the nicest to talk to. As long as we give 30% of the tax, our request is only to allow them to destroy the woods planted around the town."
Zeller still had a gentle smile on his face:
"These robbers may know more about blackmail than the devil in purgatory."
Matthew's face was a little serious:
"Can Rolling Stone cope with the invasion of three evil organizations at the same time?"
Zeller quickly said:
"It's possible to resist intrusion, but it's not possible to control harassment."
Matthew understood instantly.
The biggest headache for a territory when encountering an evil organization is that the other party won't play the game of two armies against you.
If the other party is determined to use harassment tactics against you regardless of losses.
A hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.
The security situation in the territory will take a turn for the worse in a short period of time!
Not to mention Rolling Stone, even medium-sized cities like Grand Rapids didn't dare to pat their chests, as they might never come back.
Among the nearby cities, only Baiyan City and Jade Cangting have such strength.
"Two of the three organizations are here for me, and the remaining one has nothing to do with me."
Matthew curled his lips.
"On the surface it looks like this, but in fact they will launch malicious attacks on Rolling Stone with or without you."
Zeller tapped his left and right knuckles with his right fingertips and said in a brisk tone:
"It would be better to say that you have defused an attack from them for us,"
"And with you here, Rolling Stone Town's power to resist evil has increased, so you don't have to have other thoughts - as long as you are still a resident of Rolling Stone Town, you will be protected by the Blood Flag Family, and the Blood Flag Family will always be there.
Will not compromise with evil."
Matthew nodded.
He believed Zeller's words.
"If the three major organizations mentioned the start time in their letters, then where did their number of members, position structure, and estimated troop strength come from?"
Matthew asked, pointing to the rows of numbers on the information.
"That is the work of divination and spies."
Zeller explained:
"Any abnormal movement must be traced. In fact, before I received the letter, I had ordered spies to go to surrounding cities to collect intelligence. Some clues were discovered at that time - it is impossible for such a large number of people to move quietly.
They need food, shelter, and equipment."
Matthew looked at him curiously: "How did you think of sending people to other cities to investigate?"
Zeller patiently recounted:
"This has to mention the traitor case that I was entrusted by Rega to investigate."
Matthew came into some spirit:
To be continued...
