"It seems you have an idea in mind," said Earl Hamilton.

Even though this guy was full of negative emotions, he was very accurate in observing people. Sean's eyes moved a few times and were caught by the other party.

It is conceivable that if the earl did not have these symptoms, he would have been a great politician in his heyday.

In Sean's eyes, the other party was not under any curse... According to him, he had felt abnormalities in his body three years ago. A curse could not last for three years. It was probably at that time that the root of the disease was left, and now no matter what the curse was, it has turned into a disease.

"What do you think of this, Lord Weiger?" the other party asked again.

"I just remembered the monster I met today." Sean had not mentioned the avalanche yet, because only he and the members of the archaeological team knew about it.

"Do you suspect someone is raising it behind the scenes?"

"It's just a guess."

Sean had seen the state that appeared instantly above the big rat's head, which actually indicated that someone was talking to it, but such evidence could not be directly shown to other people.

So Sean could only guide the other party to help him explain.

"I'll let Alia investigate this matter. She'll let you know if there's any progress!"

From the moment Sean learned about his arrival at the Earl's house and the attack on the road, he understood that although the Earl could not often appear in public due to his illness, he was well aware of everything happening around him.

"Then what is the purpose of the Earl calling me here this time? It's not just to tell me that someone is attacking the nobles." After telling so many stories, the other party probably wanted to wait for me to ask questions first.

"That's right. I called you here for something only you can accomplish... As I said earlier, among all the nobles, you, Weiger, are a special case. You've hardly left the mountains for a hundred years. If someone wanted to take action against the nobles, you would be the easiest target. But you've lived well all these years, so I conclude that Weiger wasn't on their list in the first place."

Sean noticed that the earl's head was slowly showing a state of "guessing!"

Despite so many negative effects, he can still persist in thinking, which makes people admire his spirit.

It’s a pity that his guess was not so accurate. Perhaps since the avalanche, his town has also been targeted!

"Perhaps because Thelmian Town is so remote, they abandoned the Weiger family. However, with your arrival, they may become a new target... So I need you to help me find the enemy hiding in Koga City."

"My Lord Earl wants me to lure out the enemy?"

Sean roughly understood what the other party meant. To put it bluntly, he wanted to take advantage of his new arrival to lure and see if anyone would choose to approach him, because in the other party's assumption, the enemy might be among the nobles.

Looking up at the Earl in front of him...

At this moment, a "Testing!" sign appeared above the opponent's head.

Eh...

Testing? What was he testing?

I am the only one in this room. Is he testing me?

Sean immediately recalled the states of those viscounts he had just seen outside. Perhaps they had all said the same thing...

Oh shit!

Old YB, he is already terminally ill but still thinking about how to cheat the nobles in the south.

"Yes, because you are the most suitable one." Earl Hamilton said sincerely.

If Sean hadn't been able to see the other person's current state, he would have almost believed it...

"This job might be very dangerous. If I do it alone, wouldn't it be a bit..." Sean was thinking about how to act out the inner thoughts of the person who accepted the task, because it might be meaningless for him to agree or refuse.

The other party probably said the same thing to everyone, so even if you agree, it may not be taken seriously.

"Don't worry about your safety. I heard you're very close to the witch of Elinta. This is a good start."

"Alinta?" Sean listened to the strange name.

"She's the little girl who's always been by your side. You probably don't know her yet. She comes from a legendary wizard organization that's also affiliated with the Bashalan Empire. She's a companion worth making friends with," said Hamilton.

"Don't worry. I promised to ensure the safety of all the southern nobles, so there won't be any accidents. The Bashalan Empire has been able to stand firm in the world for over four hundred years and has seen all kinds of threats. This is just an incident... I have already reported the current situation to the north. Koga City suffered a major civil unrest a hundred years ago. I will not let it happen again."

Earl Hamilton made this assurance in front of Sean, and the meaning was to express that Koga City was very powerful and there was no need to worry too much.

After all, this city was his territory, just like when he was in Thelmian, so Sean could understand this. Finally, he symbolically agreed to the other party's request and then said goodbye and left the room.

It didn't take long, probably about the same time as the previous few viscounts who came in.

This means that the messages received by several people may have the same purpose. The earl was just testing whether there were any rebels among the nobles.

Shortly after Sean left, Earl Hamilton, who was still in the room, said to the room behind him: "What do you think of this baron?"

At this time, an old man who was equally old but obviously stronger came out.

"Typical villager thinking. Even if we give him the task, I don't think he'll do it with all his heart..."

"That's not what I mean, and there are quite a few nobles like this." Hamilton sighed.
