The Celtic Earl's estate is so large that you have to take a car to get from one end to the other, or it would take half an hour to walk.
Along the way, they saw many extraordinary individuals, but their strength was generally very low.
Hiring superhumans is expensive, and ordinary guards don't need so many strong people. The three people Yang Cheng killed before were the true confidants of Earl Celt.
But it's clear that the Earl of Celt can't find a superhuman of that caliber in the short term.
Yang Cheng and Master Morton stealthily made their way to the largest building in the manor. Master Morton took out a small bottle and released some small, bright green insects.
This can be considered an alchemically synthesized beast, but it belongs to the lowest level and can be used for exploration.
Master Morgan quickly located the room where the Celtic Earl was, and they could even see the scene inside the room from the perspective of the insects through a small mirror.
The Celtic Earl was playing a threesome with two people, but the problem was that the other two weren't women, but a man and a woman. Yang Cheng could hardly bear to watch the scene.
He never expected that this Celtic count would be bisexual and have such a wild life.
Master Morton also found it offensive, so he directly manipulated the little bug to bite each of the three people, and in an instant, all three of them passed out.
Upon entering the room, Master Morton set up a silencing spell and tapped Earl Celt on the head, instantly waking him up.
Upon seeing Yang Cheng and Master Morton, Earl Celt exclaimed in surprise, then immediately lowered his voice and said, "Gentlemen, isn't what happened last time already over?"
"Huggins is dead, so be it. I never even considered avenging him. What do you mean by this?"
The Earl of Celt was no idiot; in this situation, his life was clearly in the hands of Yang Cheng and Morton.
If he were to threaten with shouting and yelling, he might die even faster.
He had a grudge against the two of them because of what happened with Huggins last time, so the Earl of Celt thought that they were still targeting him because of that incident.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "What happened last time is in the past; this is a new matter."
Why did you assign Wood the task of finding healthy, strong, and fresh blood?
"With just this one mission of yours, more than ten civilians in the West District have died tragically."
The Celtic count was taken aback. His face remained expressionless, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He never expected that the other party would contact him because of this matter.
Meanwhile, Celtic was also secretly cursing Wood for being unreliable.
In fact, the Celtic Earl did not approach Wood with the request to find targets and collect blood in the western part of St. Brand.
He simply told Wood his requirements: as long as things were done discreetly and the blood met the requirements, that would be fine.
Wood subcontracted the mission to Noynes, only emphasizing the blood requirements and not mentioning things like stealth, since he wasn't actually doing the mission anyway.
Of course, Noyce couldn't do this task himself, so he handed it over to his black magician and ordered him to do it on the ground.
Noynes was actually quite shrewd, fearing that taking action in other districts might attract the attention of superhumans. So he deliberately sent his men to the chaotic civilian district of the West District, but he didn't expect it to backfire and they ran into Grace and Yang Cheng.
The dark wizard was lazy, thinking that it didn't matter if a few people died in a place like the West End, so he didn't handle the bodies properly, which led to Grace being discovered.
So the Earl of Celt was really unlucky; not only did the middleman take a cut, but he was also ripped off.
"Wood? Is that Captain Wood of the Royal Guard? I haven't given him any missions."
The Earl of Celt's face instantly showed a look of surprise, his disguise was so perfect that it was impossible to miss.
A sharp, bloodthirsty aura appeared in Yang Cheng's hand, and he lightly tapped the Celtic Earl's head. The chilling aura made the Celtic Earl shiver.
“I don’t have time to argue with you here. Tell me why. You only have one chance. If you answer wrong, I’ll poke your head off.”
Yang Cheng's tone was not fierce; on the contrary, it sounded quite calm.
But it was this calm tone that sent a chill down the Celtic count's spine. He knew that Yang Cheng was truly capable of killing him.
“I said! The mission was mine. The purpose of collecting blood is to complete an alchemical secret and help Prince Leon give birth to a child.”
Yang Cheng was slightly taken aback. How did this get involved with the child?
Tell me in detail.
The Earl of Celt dared not conceal the truth and quickly recounted the details of the events.
The deaths of the commoners in the western district were rooted in the power struggles within the Assyrian royal family.
Edward Clough, the current emperor of the Assyrian Kingdom, was over sixty years old, yet he had only one descendant, who was not made a prince.
It seems as if the Edwardian family of the Assyrian Kingdom was cursed, with very few members in each generation of the royal family.
Only one of Clough's brothers, Ryan, was made a prince in his generation.
Logically speaking, Clough had a child who should have been named a prince, but perhaps because he was over fifty years old when the child was born, the child had some congenital defects. He didn't learn to speak until he was seven or eight years old, and his reactions were very slow. Now he is ten years old and can barely write his own name, and he can't even recognize all the letters of the alphabet.
Simply put, he was the emperor's only son, and he was an idiot.
However, allowing a fool to inherit the throne was unacceptable to both the royal family and the entire Assyrian kingdom.
