Chapter 4047 Verification
Conquer the northern coast of the sea, Troyes.
In Troyes in the early morning, the whole city is in a state of slowly reviving from silence. People are hurrying on the sidewalks to their workstations, there are increasingly more horse-drawn carriages on the road, and there are newsboys hawking their wares at every street corner. All these scenes seem to be no different from Troyes in the past.
There was an ordinary horse-drawn carriage driving on the road. There were two men sitting side by side in the carriage. Judging from their ages, both of them were middle-aged men in their thirties or forties. One of them wore glasses and a gray-black windbreaker, while the other was wearing an ordinary yellow coat and trousers. One of them was looking at the street scenery outside the carriage window, while the other was unfolding a newspaper and reading it seriously.
"Is there any news in the newspaper? Has there been any major movement in this city in the past two days?" The man in the gray windbreaker looked out the window and spoke while watching the people on the street, while the man in the yellow coat next to him turned another page of the newspaper, glanced at it, and spoke calmly.
"It's basically nothing serious. If I have to say something worth noting, it's that there was an explosion and fire in the west of the city the day before yesterday. A whole house was burned down. The news in the newspaper said it might be caused by a gas leak. This may be related to our incident."
"Only one house was destroyed... Was it a gas leak or an explosion? We can't confirm that this is related to the Dark Gold incident..." The man in the gray windbreaker stopped watching the outside of the car, turned his gaze back into the car, looked at his companions beside him and continued.
"If we want to deal with a gargoyle and a few wanderers, if we use strong physical means, the damage we will cause will not be as simple as blowing up a house. It is possible that half a street will be destroyed."
"Well... you're right, but this newspaper didn't report any larger-scale destructive events. So if the Dark Gold here were really dealt with, the mercenary who dealt with them might be a Beyonder who is strong in spirit or soul. After all, it's difficult to fight against the Gargoyles on the material level."
The man in the yellow coat put down the newspaper in his hand and said this, while the man in the gray windbreaker beside him nodded in agreement.
"Maybe so. If those so-called mercenaries can really wipe out the entire Dark Gold Stronghold in one go, this possibility is the greatest..."
"From your tone, it seems that you don't trust the other party, Bosque." After hearing the answer from the man in the gray windbreaker, the man in the yellow coat raised his eyebrows and asked back, while the other party continued to answer.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but it feels a little too unbelievable. Mador, think about it. Troyes Base No. 5 just contacted us, and then the General Workshop No. 6 told us that the Troyes Base had been infiltrated and replaced by the Dark Gold Men, and now it has been destroyed by the mercenaries they hired. Let us confirm the situation...
"Oh my god, even if the Troyes base that No. 5 contacted us about was a disguised Dark Gold Society and they had been replaced, this at least proves that they were still there at the time. And early in the morning on No. 6, the General Workshop suddenly said that they were all wiped out and were hired as mercenaries on the spot. In the whole of South Castile, when did mercenaries appear who could wipe out an entire Dark Gold base overnight?"
The man in the grey windbreaker named Bosque spoke with some disbelief. After hearing his words, Mador in the yellow coat also pondered for a while, and finally spoke slowly.
"You have some truth in what you said. This incident is indeed a little strange. But no matter what... since the matter was said by the main workshop this time, it is credible. We should trust the main workshop. The so-called mercenaries this time may be the result of someone in the main workshop using some connections."
"What you said does make sense, but isn't this a bit too casual? In order to ensure neutrality, generally speaking, the people in the General Workshop will not easily borrow external forces to handle things. This time they not only chose to hire others, but also made the decision so quickly. It always feels a bit wrong." Bosque said this bluntly. This was the first time they accepted a mission to confirm the results of the mercenaries, so it was inevitable that they were a little suspicious.
"It is a bit against convention, but we have confirmed the order from the main workshop again and again. In this case, we should focus on executing the mission... Of course, we still need to be cautious."
Mador said this. After listening to his words, Bosque did not respond directly but remained silent for a while. Mador looked out the window again and after taking a look at the street scene, he spoke directly.
"We seem to be in the right place. Let's get off the car and be careful."
After saying that, Mador called the coachman to stop the carriage, and then he and Bosc beside him got out of the carriage through a side door and came to the sidewalk. After looking at the relatively deserted street scenes around them, the two of them took out their gifts from the trunk of the carriage, and then fixed their eyes on a seemingly ordinary hotel on the side of the street.
Then, the two walked into the old-fashioned hotel and climbed up the stairs. After a while, they reached a higher floor. Looking around, they checked the serial numbers above the guest rooms. After walking around for a while, they found the room they were looking for.
"No. 504, right here."
After looking at the serial number on the square door, Madore said this, then he knocked on the door of the room, and then a male voice came from inside.
"Please wait a moment."
Footsteps were heard behind the door, and soon the door was opened. A handsome young man in a shirt and vest appeared behind Mador and the others. At this moment, he was looking at the two people in front of him with a smile.
"Ah... you are finally here, two people from the Artisans' Guild. I have been waiting for you here for a long time. My name is Brandon. What are your names?"
With a passionate tone, Brandon smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two people in front of him. After the two looked at each other, Maldo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Brandon, and then spoke.
"No need to report anything about your name. Let's get down to business, Mr. Brandon."
"Come on, let's get down to business? Of course, please come in." Brandon loosened his hand and made a welcoming gesture. After the two entered the room, they looked around and found that it was a simply decorated but quite spacious guest room. There was a stretcher on the floor of the room, covered with a white cloth, and under the white cloth was obviously the outline of a human figure.
"The bodies of those black business leaders are here. You can check them at will."
Brandon said casually while looking at the corpse on the ground, and then the two of them walked in front of the stretcher, lifted the white cloth covering him, and what appeared in front of them was the corpse of an old man. After looking at the corpse in front of them, the two of them chatted casually for a few words, and then one of them, Bosc, opened the box, took out many unidentified props and began to conduct some kind of examination, while Madore walked in front of Brandon and started chatting with him.
"Mr. Brandon, were you the one who hunted down the Troyes Dark Gold Society mercenaries?"
"To be precise, I am the person I serve... I am just a representative here to hand over to you." Brandon responded easily, while Madore continued to ask.
"The one you serve... In the entire South Castia, there aren't many forces that can destroy a Dark Gold stronghold overnight. And we all know that Mr. Brandon and the others must have come from somewhere else."
"Yes, we were passing through Troyes, and then the master I served happened to notice the abnormal situation here. After notifying his old friends in your craftsmen's union, he was commissioned to do the cleaning work. Now you are here to confirm the results of the cleaning, right?"
Brandon continued to talk with a smile. Listening to Brandon's words, Madore thought that things were just as he thought. This so-called mercenary should be a connection of a big shot in the main workshop, and was invited to help temporarily. The mercenary should have a very deep and close relationship and trust with a big shot in the main workshop, otherwise the main workshop would not have violated conventions and chosen to hire people to solve the Troyes problem.
Mador understood this clearly in his mind, and just when he wanted to continue saying something, he suddenly heard an exclamation voice from behind him.
"This, this... is impossible..."
Hearing this familiar voice, Mador immediately turned his head and looked at Bosque who was squatting on the ground conducting inspection. After seeing his stunned expression, Mador frowned and asked.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that corpse? Isn't it a gargoyle?"
