"So that Count Philip Netvan is really a mole?!"

——Caterina Igor widened her beautiful eyes and asked the lord this sentence. It was already two days later in the afternoon, in the back garden of Igor’s residence on Lombard Street in the Unicorn District of the Imperial Capital.

inside.

The lord of Frost Maple Ridge was lying leisurely on the grass-green hammock, just like a giant silkworm chrysalis.

Next to the official Xiahou, two delicate elf maids were carefully peeling pomegranates for him——

——These two girls were sent by the Elf Archmage Belgrade last night to work for the Lord. They can also be regarded as a sign of goodwill from the Elf family to the Igor family.

It is obvious that since the hunting competition, Shuangmangling's reputation level in the imperial capital's social circle has improved considerably.

Facing his sister's question, Xiahou, the official, turned over comfortably in the hammock and muttered vaguely:

"How should I put it... I may or may not be considered a traitor, it depends on what you think. My dear sister, just let me get some sleep. I've been exhausted in the Crown District these past two days..."

Catalina knew that she would not be able to get any useful information from her lazy brother.

Therefore, the eldest lady of Frost Maple Ridge quickly turned to Eldridge——

——The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Territory was also an eyewitness to the "Kemal Manor Incident" that night. However, during the lord's afternoon nap, Eldridge's temporary duty is to protect the lord's safety;

However, Eldridge is currently squatting by the fountain that Butler Mr. Bart Black has just repaired, staring at the goldfish swimming in the water in a daze, obviously not looking like he is guarding his surroundings.

"Commander Eldridge." Katarina asked with her hands on her hips, "What happened at that time?"

When the eldest lady asked a question, a wage earner certainly didn't dare not answer.

Eldridge winced and replied:

"It wasn't that, ah, I accidentally made a mistake and injured Count Netwan, ah,..."

Master Lowry and Chris Mann were playing Manx in the garden pavilion nearby.

Hearing Eldridge's "failure" remarks, Master Lowry and Chris simultaneously let out a disdainful laugh.

"So?" Katarina, who was not at the Kemal Manor at the time, was a little confused by Master Lowry's reaction, but she still patiently continued to ask, "What happened next?"

Eldridge put his hand into the water, touched the goldfish, and shrugged:

"Later, when those, ah, elf girls cast spells on Earl Netwan to heal his wounds, ah, they found a small piece of paper from the middle of the Earl's clothes. Ah, it was very mysterious! Miss, guess what, ah, it says

What is it?"

"How do I know!" Catalina frowned.

She now quite doubted that Eldridge's ability to tell stories was learned from the unscrupulous writers in Dongbingku.

"These are the accounts! Ah, the secret accounts of Deadwood Forest!" Eldridge picked up a goldfish from the fountain pool, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then threw it back into the water. "It's all Knight."

Earl Wan sold arms to the Eastern Federation, ah, the evidence! Duke Rivera was completely numb at that time!"

"Count Netwan sells arms to the orcs?!" Katarina covered her mouth in surprise:

Humans and orcs are currently at war. If Count Netwan actually smuggles arms to the enemy country, this would be a heinous and serious crime!

"Unless we have found solid evidence, who the hell would dare to believe it!" Eldridge sighed with emotion.

"I can only say that our lord has a sly plan and a sharp eye! He can tell at a glance that this bastard, Count Netwan, is not a good person!" Knight Commander Cousins ​​walked into the back garden with a purchase list under his arm, and first looked at the lord on the hammock.

He bowed and handed the purchase list to Miss Catalina.

"What is this?" The Lord raised his head alertly.

"The decorations for the banquet, the purchase list of drinks and ingredients." Catalina shook the list in her hand towards her brother, "Several noble ladies have asked me in the past two days when the banquet will be held at Igor's residence.

Here! I have discussed it with Mr. Black, we have to prepare all the materials first..."

"It's a waste of money again..." Xia Houyan muttered, but his sister tapped him on the head with a list, and he suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

"Speaking of which, my lord, you were really powerful at that time. You immediately found the mole among the imperial nobles!" Knight Commander Cousins ​​saw that his boss was frustrated and quickly flattered him.

In the past two days, the legend that "Eagle Eye" Eliot Igor and "Magic Detective" Master Namisas joined forces at the Kemal Manor to uncover the inner ghost for the empire has spread in the imperial capital.

, Knight Commander Cousins ​​has obviously heard a lot of street stories.

"Don't praise me randomly! The higher you praise me, the harder I will fall!" Xia Houyan looked around furtively to make sure there were no outsiders around, then lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I didn't even know about Knight at the time.

Wan, this guy is not clean at all - it’s just that he wanted to slander me at the time, and I happened to have the corpse of a death knight from the Deadwood Forest on hand, so I just went with the flow! Who the hell would have thought that Nate Wan is really stupid

You carry evidence of collaboration with the enemy with you!"

"Are you deceived too?!" Knight Cousins ​​was dumbfounded.

"Otherwise?" Xia Houyan sneered, "Can I recognize a traitor at a glance? Do you still care about being a traitor?"

"Then...then..." Knight Commander Cousins ​​said in astonishment, "Then the orc prisoner you captured, didn't he also identify Count Netwan?"

"I didn't catch that!" Xia Houyan lowered his voice again.

Master Laurie has always wondered where the orc prisoner came from. When the lord mentioned this, he simply pushed the Marne table and pulled Chris over to listen to the inside information.

Several of the core scum of Shuangmaple Ridge gathered in a circle, and Xia Houyancai said furtively:

"Before the hunting competition started, didn't the city defense army round up the orc spies? I heard from Master Laurie that there was an orc spy with no brains who jumped from a high tower and killed himself!"

"Didn't you fall to death at that time?" Master Laurie asked innocently.

"Do you believe it when I say it? How can you survive a jump from a clock tower like that? You'll definitely die!" Xia Houyan rolled his eyes at his chief mage and said, "But I've been careful about this because I think

That dead orc spy must know the information about the mole..."

Several people from Shuangfengling Gate heard this and immediately guessed the follow-up development.

The Lord’s narrative did not disappoint at all:

"Later, the day before the hunting competition started, I deliberately used shadow magic to sneak into the morgue of the Imperial City Defense Army, found the body of the orc spy, and used resurrection to pull it up..."

Everyone said "fuck" silently, not sure whether it was surprise, admiration or contempt.

Only Master Laurie felt his heart suddenly brighten:

No wonder when the death knight was resurrected, the lord said that the limit for this month was reduced once...

The co-author was going to steal the corpse and use it!

"Unfortunately, after I pulled the green guy up, he couldn't even tell me any information!"

Who! But the hunting competition was about to start at that time, and this guy was really difficult to deal with, so I put a magic collar on him, put on a robe and took him to the Kemal Manor, in case anyone found out.

Caught on the road - hey, I really got it right on my bet!"

Knight Commander Cousins ​​opened his mouth like a hippopotamus:

"So he identified Count Netwan at that time..."

"That green guy is a zombie under my control. Of course, he will identify whoever I ask him to identify!" Xia Houyan finally couldn't help it and showed a triumphant smile.

Everyone now just feels that Count Netwan is really damn unjust!

It has to be said that messing with someone like the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge is a calamity that should be in your life...

"So where is the orc now?" Knight Commander Cousins ​​asked stammeringly.

"On the way back to the imperial capital from Kemal Manor, I secretly escaped. At that time, in order to appear that he escaped from prison on his own, there was quite a big fuss." Xia Houyan chuckled, "But anyway, Count Netwan's prototype has been revealed.

We don’t have any use for this product.”

Everyone was speechless for a long time before Catalina sighed quietly:

"It can only be said that Earl Netwan, who smuggled arms to the orcs, is rewarded for his evil deeds..."

"Hey. Speaking of which, when this guy heard that his house was going to be raided, he became anxious and went crazy to assassinate Duke Rivera..." Eldridge said with a bad smile, "We were still

It’s very confusing, ah, it’s hard to understand, I guess it’s because I’m not clean myself…”

"More than just unclean!" Xia Houyan sighed, "After returning to the imperial capital from Kemal Manor, I have been in the Crown District for the past two days, helping Duke Rivera find out where Netwan is hiding in the basement of his house.

His account books - you won’t know if you don’t check them, but you will be shocked if you check them! Over the years, you have actually been exporting imperial armaments to the Eastern Federation and making a lot of money!”

Catalina blinked in surprise, her eyelashes trembling:

"So, it turns out that the imperial hunting team was ambushed and it was all the work of Count Netwan?"

My sister's question made the lord silent for a moment.

Xia Houyan suppressed his smile and replied slowly:

"I don't think so. From the results of checking the account books with Duke Rivera, it seems that Count Netwan did not escape by smuggling arms and making war fortune, but there is no evidence that he collaborated with the enemy and leaked information, which led to the ambush of the empire's elite.

——After all, doing this will not bring any benefit to Count Netwan! What’s more, there is currently no clue as to how the elite orc soldiers entered the empire..."

Igor and the scum were dumbfounded.

Xia Houyan shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"With the death knight's family crest and the accusations of the orc captives, all the imperial nobles now believe that Count Netwan is the mastermind behind the ambush at Kemal Manor - but only I know clearly that Count Netwan may

Smuggling arms is bad money, but ambushing the elites of the empire...should not be his part."

"So, so..." Master Laurie felt his throat was a little blocked, "...is there someone else who is the real mole?"

Xia Houyan nodded heavily.
