"What do you want from me?" A voice with a very impatient tone came from not far away.
Kang heard it and felt that it was somewhat familiar, but it was not Vickery's voice. It was obvious that a second person had appeared here.
Carefully taking a few steps forward, Kang hid behind a few trees and weeds that formed a bush, quietly pushed aside a branch and leaf, and finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.
Vickery stood in the open space in front of him with his back to his gaze, and there was only a young man opposite him. From the comparison of his face and voice, Kang immediately determined that this was the person who had happened to Vickery during the carriage ride today.
Although he did not know the name of the person involved in some conflicts, Kang knew that not only was he not from the organization, but he should also be from the enemy. He could find out who he was by just taking the time to check at the organization's stronghold.
"You really need to change your temper, Cordray. By the way, I heard that your brother is now very much loved by old Lord Lanyon. The position under your butt is not very secure." Vickery smiled.
Full of undisguised malice.
"That's enough. If you came here specifically to humiliate me today, then prepare to bear the wrath of me, Cordray Lanyon!" Cordray's low voice was full of uncontrollable anger.
"Humiliating you? I don't have that much time." Kang saw Vickery, who had his back turned to him, shrugging, but judging from his tone, you could tell that his face should be full of sneer at this time, "
I called you here because I want to make a deal with you, I just want to see if you are interested."
"Deal? The two of us? Vickery, did you hit your head on the carriage today? Trade? Your brain is really out of control." Cordray laughed, as if he wanted to throw the previous negative emotions back to Wei.
On Klee.
"Really? Don't you want to know where the man who killed your brother-in-law is?"
Vickery just said a fluttering sentence, and Cordray was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His laughter suddenly stopped. The cause was that the breath changed too quickly, which resulted in a series of uncontrollable laughter.
Coughing sound.
In Kang's eyes, he saw the originally tall young man bend down suddenly, his face distorted but he kept shaking and coughing. His eyes wanted to be squeezed out by the force of the cough, as if he was being swallowed hard.
It's like drinking a cup of chili powder.
After finally waiting for Cordray to adjust his breath, he looked up and saw Vickery's face with a hateful smile. Suddenly, his heart became angry again. He habitually raised his eyebrows and wanted to have an attack, but when he thought of the previous one
Question, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "What do you know?"
"I know everything you want me to know."
"Then what do you want?"
"Command authority, command authority for this joint mission. During the mission, your people must obey my orders unconditionally. You don't pay attention to their life and death anyway, do you?" Vickery threw out his conditions.
Cordray did not answer immediately and began to weigh the pros and cons.
Cordray is determined to win the murderer of his brother-in-law Hagrid. This is not only a matter of hatred, but also many issues related to the interests of the family.
Hagrid's death in the war not only led to the reimbursement of all the resources the family had invested in him over the years, but more importantly, Hagrid's failure also caused the Priory to transfer a large part of the benefits that would have to be paid if the bet failed.
As for the Lanyon family, once the family really bears these costs under the pressure of other families, the Lanyon family will instantly become one of the core families in the monastery and become a middle-level family, and may even regress back to a marginal family.
, it is very likely that he will not be able to turn over for a long time.
Don't think that if everyone is in the same organization, other families will help the Lanyon family. Not to mention that there are many families waiting for the top who are staring at the seat under the Lanyon family, and the essence of a noble family is
Hungry wolves that devour everything, the Lanyon family's history has also developed from constantly devouring other families. Once the Lanyon family becomes weak, some families are ready to eat this feast.
There are only two ways in front of the Lanyon family. One is to kill the opponent who caused Hagrid's death, and the other is to defeat the Gant Empire in this mission and take a lot of credit in it.
The advantage of the first option is that it can show the strength of the family and respond to the rumors of the family's weakness with a tough attitude, and killing Geer can also weaken a super player of the Brotherhood of Steel, who would otherwise be able to kill Hagrid in a head-on confrontation.
I don’t know how much loss it will bring to the Priory in the future. Thinking about the benefits that Hagrid has obtained from the Brotherhood of Steel several times before, just by being able to do this, the family can be in the decision of the Priory.
Promote your merits confidently to reduce most of the losses that would befall the family.
But it is difficult to do it. Because it is already in a truce with the Brotherhood of Steel, the power of the Priory will never be dispatched for the affairs of the Lannion family. It can only rely on the Lannion family to do it themselves.
On the one hand, the Lanyon family is doing it in the name of revenge, which is acceptable. But another problem is that not only the Lanyon family, but also the entire Priory is in San Lotaro, the center of the empire and the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel.
They are all extremely weak. In addition, due to the severe attrition after the previous war, the few manpower in San Rotalo has been cleared out. Now it is impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of the Brotherhood of Steel in San Rotalo.
Talor's Gurr launched a large-scale attack, and it was difficult to even control Gurr's whereabouts.
The second option is just a backup option after being unable to kill Geer, but the family spent a lot of resources to get it for Cordray. As long as he performs well in the mission and obtains benefits for the country, then rely on this
The credit can be attributed to gaining a certain bargaining chip in the negotiations between Prince Fayelino, who represents the Brotherhood of Steel, and it can also be regarded as relieving a certain amount of pressure on the family.
For Cordray, the second option is obviously safer than the first. The Lanyon family has invested a lot of elites in the men brought by Cordray. Relying on this strength, he is very confident that he can win this time.
He gets the most credit for his mission, but no matter how well he performs in this mission, most of it is the family's credit and has nothing to do with him. As Weekley said, Cordray's position in the family is not the same.
It's not safe. Even if this mission is completed, it won't help him gain many points, but if he successfully kills Geer...
Thinking that he had single-handedly made a great contribution to the family that could turn the tide, then no matter how much his father favored his younger brother, he could not shake his status.
Thinking of this, Cordray's heart felt hot.
"Okay, I agree, tell me the news."
"I think it would be more appropriate for me to tell you the news tomorrow after you incorporate your men into my team and officially give me command in public."
In Cordray's eyes, Vickery's smile was particularly hateful at this moment, but he also knew not to get the news from Vickery for nothing, but his mouth remained stubborn: "Then how can I believe you?
If you know, you will tell me after the handover, and how can you prove that your information is accurate?"
"You shouldn't have to worry about this. I also hope that you can run far away and don't come to ruin my affairs. But forget it, I'll give you a guarantee. I'm at the Naims Hotel now. You have one night
The time can be confirmed, but I advise you not to mess around. This is not your territory, and it is only for this night. Starting tomorrow, your spies are not allowed to stay in the city, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind.
As for the destination and route, it depends on your sincerity."
Naims Hotel?!
Kang Huoran, who had been hiding and listening in a daze, was shocked. When he parted with Geer today, on the plaque of the hotel on that side, which was much more conspicuous than the surrounding buildings, the line of golden words almost blinded his eyes.
It's the Naims Hotel!
The Lanyon family?
Sounds a bit familiar.
By the way, didn't the master who was killed by Geer some time ago serve the Lanyon family? At that time, I used this as material to show off among my colleagues every day!
The Lanyon family, the Nemes Hotel where Geer was currently staying, and the Lanyon family who had a grudge against Geer, combined these two terms with this conversation, and Condun immediately came up with a very bad result.
At this time, Cordray also finished thinking about it, took a deep look at Weekley, and said: "I hope you won't lie to me."
Then he turned around and headed back in the direction he came from.
Just when Cordray took five or six steps, a well-armed middle-aged man appeared from behind a tree. His sharp eyes lingered on Vickley for a while, and then he followed Cordray without looking back.
Del Rey left.
"Sir, is this all?"
After Cordray's figure disappeared, Kang was still wondering why Weekley didn't leave, when a sudden voice came into his ears, startling him.
But Weekley didn't seem to be surprised at all, and responded calmly: "Whether it is for him personally or for his family, there is no choice."
Weekley turned to face the shadow on the left and said in a very stern tone: "Remember, I will only help you this time. You don't have to come to me again in the future."
Kang looked in the direction Vickley was facing and saw a somewhat uncoordinated black figure in the shadows, which should be the person who was talking to Vickery now.
"That's enough, sir. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for my dead brother Morad." In Kang's eyes, the black shadow walked out of the protection of the shadow, came to the place covered by the moonlight, and walked towards Vickery.
A respectful bow.
At this time, Kang Cai clearly saw the appearance of the black figure. It was a young man who looked a little tall and thin.
"Okay, I don't want to get involved in your brother's bad things. You can follow him yourself, remember to keep your hands and feet clean, and don't force me to do anything unpleasant." Vickery waved his hand, showing his impatience.
"Well, I will seize this opportunity. No matter what, I owe you once...who!"
Kang suddenly felt a trembling feeling spread throughout his body. The black figure in front of him was already looking in the direction where he was hiding. He raised his hand and several points of cold light shot out, heading straight for Kang's position.
