    Duke Bamilyan's fingers stiffened when playing with the dagger, and he almost dropped the dagger on the ground.  "More questionshave been answered." He smiled reluctantly, "Is that Lord Thoth lying in the room? Ah, I should have thought of it earlier. When was Long Fengdrick exposed?  Was it when he applied the poison to the Griffin Sword?" "It was earlier than that." Tomad blinked at the Minister of Intelligence, "You shouldn't have arranged for him to contact Viscount Tonks."  For the first time, a suspicious expression appeared on the Duke's face, "He shouldn't be the one who contacted Viscount Tonks. There are several spies with sleepless eyes in the fortress. No matter who they are, they are more suitable than Feng Derek." "  That afternoon, Tracy Bloodsnake saw Viscount Tonks and Mr. Fonderrick getting together sneakily. If some kind of super-friendship relationship hadn't developed between the two people, then there was no doubt that Tonks  The sudden change in Viscount Si's position must be related to the order conveyed by Mr. Feng Derick." Thomas shrugged his shoulders with a hint of ridicule, "Okay, Your Majesty, you haven't given an explanation yet." "I'm sorry, but.  I don't want to give a deceptive answer, so I have no comment." Duke Bamilyan replied with a serious face, and bowed with his hand on his chest, "If some compensation can alleviate the hostility between you and Lord Marquis Dragunson,  Then I am willing to pay 20,000 golden griffins or equivalent materials." Tomad concealed his surprise.  Twenty thousand golden griffins!  This is not a small sum, enough to purchase a large tract of land anywhere in Zephyr County.  An ordinary manor with a farmhouse, orchards, cultivated land, and a hundred tenant farmers was worth about a thousand golden griffins. Considering the impact of the war on the western border of the empire, 80% of the time it would only cost six hundred gold griffins.  The annual military expenditure of Tallon Fortress is only 12,000. This money is needed to pay more than 4,000 soldiers, repair ordnance, purchase food and other supplies, and also deal with the occupation of the Knights of the Steel Fist and the quartermasters at all levels.  Considering the current situation of the fortress, Tomad, as the temporary commander, was indeed moved.  "I already know the answer." Marquis Dragunson snorted heavily, "The deal is easy to sell, old spider. Three conditions in exchange for reconciliation." "Ah, this is the best thing I heard today.  News." Duke Bamilyan replied with a smile, "Mr. Tomad has no objection? Of course, if I can do it, I will do my best." "Of course you can.  I want to know if your plan succeeds and I am assassinated and Tomad is stigmatized, who will serve as the guardian of Tallon Fortress? " "The first condition is that I betray my accomplices?" Duke Bamilyan smiled bitterly?  He patted his cheek, "Okay, actually you can guess it even if I don't tell you, it's Earl Cedric and his White Wolf Knights." "The obvious fact." Marquis Dragunson commented, "Second  "You just mentioned that there are spies from the Sleepless Eyes in the fortress guards. I want to know who their leader is." "It's Tonks. If you are willing to return him to me intact, I can also give it to you."  A list of the spies installed in the Knights of the Steel Fist. "Is there anyone in the Knights of the Steel Fist?" Marquis Dragunson stared suspiciously.  "Sleepless eyes, eternal attention." Duke Bamilyan's tone was still gentle and humble, but when he said this sentence, there was a hint of pride.  "But it is not a good thing to eliminate all these spies. Lord Marquis de Dragunson, you don't think that our Majesty is happy to see a powerful armed force not under the surveillance of the Sleepless Eye? Even Bablu  There are also spies with sleepless eyes among the pilgrim brothers of Pa Monastery. Mr. Tomad, do you want to know their names? " "I don't want to know. Under the majestic gaze of the Lord of Justice, all the little ones have no escape.  "Tomard replied coldly, and then changed the topic, "What I want to know is, is that Tonks guy so important?" "Of course, Tonks is very useful, from what noble lady?  The information dug out there is sometimes more than what is found in the court, and it is often more true and credible," Duke Bamilyan explained candidly.  "So I want an intact Tonks. If his little white face is scratched, then please help me bury him properly." "But he might still be alive." "He lives for that face.  " Duke Bamilyan said softly.  "Okay, Lord Marquis, let me hear your third condition." Marquis Dragunson shook his head slightly, "The third condition belongs to Tomad." "Long? Feng Derek is now  To do things for me, I promise him to guarantee his personal safety. "This is the third condition."?" Duke Bamilyan looked at Tomad with a half-smile. In his suddenly clenched left hand, the edges of the gold badge made his palm hurt. "No, this is my little reminder.  "Tomad shook his head, "The third condition is that you promise to pay 20,000 golden griffins, half of which must be paid in cash, and half of which must be paid in stone and food, and they must be delivered here within a month.  " "Those are simply two conditions, but it's no problem, my young friend, things that can be solved with money are never troubles.  Feng Derek will be yours from now on, but the badge is still valid, and Sleepless Eye intends to continue to be your friend, not your enemy.  "After Duke Bamilyan said these words, he bowed again. When he straightened up, the figures of Tomad and Marquis Dragunson had disappeared behind the sand dunes. Hugh walked quickly from the other direction.  Return, "Golborne is out of danger, my lord.  "He held three beautifully decorated daggers with surprisingly short blades in his hands and handed them to Duke Bamilyan respectfully. "Can you please give us instructions on what to do next?  " Duke Bamilyan suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he even dropped the veil in his hand to the ground. Both Hugh and Master Mufasa looked at the uncharacteristic intelligence minister with fear, but this burst of laughter  There was no reluctance or hatred in the voice, and it seemed to be full of joy. "Sir, you" "It's so interesting. If you don't encounter such an opponent, life will be as boring as a glass of water.  Tasteless.  "Duke Bamilyan did not pick up the veil that had fallen to the ground. Anyway, his identity had been recognized, and the veil was of no use. After a crisp snap of his fingers, the veil burned violently on the sand dunes, and in the blink of an eye, only  The evidence that he had been here disappeared in the flames. Duke Bamilyan chuckled softly, turned his head, and said in a frighteningly soft tone, "Master Mufasa, you are so old and virtuous.  Well-informed, but have you ever seen someone who actively keeps exposed spies around them?  " "No, it's too stupid to do that.  "Master Mufasa shook his head. "That's what Tomad did.  Duke Bamilyan stroked his smooth chin with his fingers, "This is really a very clever method. After what happened, can I still believe in continuing the dragon? Feng Derek did not betray, but continued to be loyal to me?"  " "Master Feng Derek is there any problem?  "Master Mufasa asked hesitantly. "He sent a warning message, but he didn't explain anything.  Because of this message, I have to wake you up from deep meditation and want to terminate the assassination plan.  But the message was short, garbled and came too late.  In addition to causing you to be accidentally injured, I didn¡¯t have time to make any contingency measures" Duke Bamilyan said his analysis slowly while thinking, "Then there are only two explanations for Feng Derek's behavior.  , first, he has expressed his allegiance to Tomad in private, and this message is simply a trick he used to divert my attention; second, Fondrick himself fell into the trap carefully laid by Tomad, but  In this way, it is difficult to explain why Tomad continued to retain him.  " "Maybe" Xio scratched his head and said, "I guess maybe Tomad lacks manpower?  ¡± ¡°My predecessor once said to me that a sharp knife does not need to have a mind of its own.  Duke Bamilyan said in a solemn tone, "Now I feel that this sentence is really correct."  " "My lord, if we leave here, what will Earl Cedric and the others do?  Master Mufasa hesitated for a moment, then spoke cautiously, "He is still waiting for news from Viscount Tonks. Should I inform him that the plan has been cancelled?"  "    "plan?  what's the plan?  "Duke Bamilyang curled his lips and took steps in the opposite direction of Tallon Fortress, "Have I ever promised anything to Earl White Wolf?  The Sleepless Eyes are His Majesty's eyes. They pay eternal attention and are absolutely loyal. They will not do anything beyond the limit.  "
