Back at the Earl's Palace in Oro City, the construction work here is still in full swing.
Sean didn't want to spread more about what happened in Tacoma City. He only told Luke about what happened at that time. It was impossible to find the book, but he didn't know if he could inquire about the unknown statue.
As early as when the traveling merchant Adak said he wanted to go to the statue, he had been wondering whether that thing was something left behind when the immortals summoned him before. If it was true, should he be prepared?
"I personally don't think it's necessary." Luke's idea surprised Sean.
"Tell me what you think."
"Since Your Excellency thinks this thing is dangerous, then why not just leave it alone? If it's already there, the people in the Adak region will also fight for it. The Adak region is also vast, so if it's lost there, there might be no chance of getting it out. Furthermore, they have many countries on different sides."
Luke's thoughts often include actions within the larger picture.
This should be considered the way smart people think, but even smart people’s predictions may not be completely correct.
That's right.
The Adak region also has its own internal affairs, and they also have opposing countries. Once that kind of thing spreads out, other enemy countries will definitely pay attention to it, and they may even send people to investigate the matter.
But Luke did not see the summoning scene with his own eyes
That is definitely not something that humans can resist. At least among the humans he has met, no one can resist that kind of madness.
And Old Tacoma is the place where it was once called
However, the other party's words did remind him that even if he sent people over, ordinary Basaran soldiers would be easily discovered. If he wanted to specially train a group of elite teams, it would not be done in a day or two.
"Luke, how's the Adventurer's Guild doing?"
We have been so busy building the city that we almost ignored the existence of such an organization.
In fact, the Adventurer's Guild is a force that cannot be ignored no matter where it is. Although they focus on their own interests, they are very united when the interests of everyone are threatened.
During the last Tacoma City incident, didn't the Prince and the Grand Duke also want to use the power of the mercenaries? But in the end, the effect was not great. However, due to irresistible reasons at that time, any force seemed insignificant at that time.
"My Lord wants to use mercenaries, but mercenaries are unreliable."
"I just had this idea. Of course, a well-informed mercenary would be better. Have you ever learned about the mercenaries in Oro City?"
"I'm not interested in knowing about mercenaries, but there is one thing that deserves your attention." Luke is a scholar. It seems that there is such a chain of contempt in many places, and those who study literature and martial arts look down on each other.
So Luke never really cared about the mercenaries.
"What's up"
"Although it's only a small number of people in recent times, they haven't had a very good opinion of them." This is already a very tactful way of saying it. It is probably that some people in the city have begun to disobey his rule.
"I guessed it earlier."
During this period, there has been a lot of construction going on, and land for construction and various other places have been divided.
Some of them have already affected the interests of some people and will definitely attract opposition.
"Your Excellency is very wise, but the noises I've heard outside lately are different."
"What's the difference?"
"They seem to be a group of people who specialize in fighting against the nobles and wealthy families. Many people among the people are talking about their deeds." Luke said.
rebels
Sean immediately thought of the existence of the rebels that both Prince Philip and the Grand Duke had mentioned. Although they had been hiding well, no one had ever denied their existence.
“Right in the city”
"I don't know yet, but people have been talking about this matter recently. I think we should send more people back to the Earl's Mansion." Luke suggested.
"No, if that happens, they will be even more likely to take action."
"But"
"Once one group of people enters the Earl's Mansion, a second group will come. If they are really in the city, they will take action one step ahead." Sean explained.
In fact, it is possible to add more manpower, but Sean doesn't like the feeling of having more than a dozen people standing at the door, and his current strength is not weak. After all, he is a level 4 Orderer and will not have no room to fight back.
Luke wanted to persuade her, but seeing how persistent she was, he stopped talking.
Sean still hasn't forgotten about the statue. He really wants to find a wizard to help him study the things in the old city of Tacoma, but there are very few wizards available in the entire city of Oro.
It's not because there aren't any, but when the Tacoma event happened, the people who sacrificed the most were the capable ones. Sean felt that this was probably intentional by the Deep Ones, just like when the Goat Man directly killed the strongest mercenary Lugal, using the strong as a sacrifice to summon what they wanted to summon.
However, due to the large-scale extinction of high-level orderers and the subsequent escape of some of them, there is currently hardly a single orderer above level eight in Oro City. Even the highest level in the mercenary guild is only level 7, and most of the others are around level 56.
This put Sean's original plan of recruiting capable people on hold.
But in the end, he suddenly thought of another thing. Isn't he also a member of the Wings of Covering the Sky that is well known to the public? If he remembered correctly, Frelia had promised him that he would enjoy this right forever.
Why not let the Wings of the Covering Heaven set up a branch here? Not only can it establish connections with the headquarters, but more importantly, those girls seem to have a good impression of me, and I am also capable. It would be a shame not to contact them.
Thinking of this, he began to write a letter to the headquarters of the Wings of the Sky in Lietis.
Sean would try his best to describe his current situation as miserable as possible, preferably in a state of panic.
This way, even if the prince and others knew about it, they wouldn't say anything. Even if they had doubts, he had an identity after all. It seemed nothing wrong to ask the headquarters to send someone over. With Frelia's intelligence, she should be able to understand the meaning of his letter.
Busy until late at night
The last light that was turned on every day in the Earl's Mansion was almost always in his own room.
And at this moment, hundreds of meters away from the Earl's Mansion.
"Tatsumi, have you found out the residence of the Earl of Oro City?" a female voice said to the figure in the dark.
"I've already heard that he's usually busy until very late. We just need to wait until the last few lights go out and then split up to take down this noble."
"That's right, his soldiers can't stop us." Another person in the shadow also said.
There were five people in the group, and they were quietly waiting for the night to fall.
