    "Isn't this a joke?" Looking at the empty treasury, everyone present was stunned for a while, all with incredible expressions.  There are rows of shelves and containers in Nuoda's treasury, which was originally filled with mountains of gold nuggets, massive coins, various gemstones, valuables, works of art, and piles of real estate, real estate, and ships.  Contracts for mines, etc.  But now, the shelves are empty, the drawers of the containers have been pulled open or discarded, and there is nothing inside.  Although there were many gold coins and gems scattered on the ground, they were as insignificant as dust compared to the huge treasury. The messy scene showed that this place had undergone a complete relocation not long ago.  "It's damn it!" Harold was so angry that he grabbed the collar of the person in charge of the Sidonius sect beside him: "You liars, where did you hide the treasures in the vault?" That man  The person in charge was also horrified. He hurriedly said: "I don't know, I just got here."  Let's go." Harold said reluctantly.  ¡°I swear to God King Tai Lun, it was definitely not our sect that did it.¡± The person in charge shouted the injustice.  Harlot was about to press him again when Raymond said in a deep voice: "Harot, stop." "But boss, they" Harlot seemed to still want to argue.  He was a robber, and he valued his integrity when "sharing the loot" the most. Now he was watching a large sum of money he was about to get disappear, and one can imagine his dissatisfaction.  To be honest, Raymond is also full of hope for the money in the vault.  In the past two years, Headington has defeated the Gaspard Kingdom and Leonard, and the Sea Dragon and the Undead Army, which has put a lot of pressure on finances.  The wealth accumulated previously has been exhausted, and the Lovell Chamber of Commerce has suffered a disaster, so the support for Headington is not as strong as before.  Therefore, Headington is now facing a lot of financial pressure, but later Raymond still needs to help Sophia recover and repel the eager Dirk Kingdom.  There was no time for him to make money slowly, so Raymond urgently needed the funds from LaVitt's federal treasury.  Now that hope has failed, Raymond is in no better mood than Harlot.  However, after being shocked, Raymond quickly calmed down.  He knew very well that although the treasury was occupied by the Sidonis sect, they had just captured Sonali City and had no time to move so much property.  Therefore, he stopped Harold from questioning the leader of the sect: "They didn't do it. It must have been before the city was destroyed. The necromancer moved the contents of the vault away." "Yes, it must be those undead spirits.  Master." The leader of the sect hurriedly agreed.  "Meow, young master, what should we do? Didn't our trip go in vain?" Bast couldn't help but said.  Raymond shook his head: "No, Sonali has been under siege these days, and no one can get out. Therefore, these properties must still be somewhere in the city." The leader of the sect reacted.  He immediately said: "I will report to the Pope right away and search the whole city. We must find this money as soon as possible." "Transferring such a large amount of treasure is definitely not something that one or two people can do. It is best to interrogate it again.  Some prisoners with higher status," Raymond reminded.  The person in charge said that he remembered it, and then hurriedly left the vault.  Although things are not irreparably bad, it is still very discouraging to have the duck in the mouth disappear.  For a moment, Raymond and others were a little depressed.  The people from the Sidonius sect left, and they were the only ones left in front of the treasury. So after a while, the treasury manager asked cautiously: "My lord, please, please. What should I do here?" "Shut up the treasury, please."  "Lemon sighed: "You don't have to go to the prison camp. Just guard it here. Someone will come to take it after the battle is over." I heard that there is no need to go to the prison camp. Everyone who manages the treasury is very grateful.  Then he started to prepare to close the door.  At this moment, Harold suddenly said: "Wait a minute!" Everyone looked at him strangely, and Harold said without changing his expression and without a beating heart: "There is so much money on the ground, how could it be possible?"  It's a waste. Go find a broom and a bag and collect all the money. Don't miss a single gold coin. "The treasury is huge. Although it has been moved, there are still a lot of gold coins and some gems scattered on the ground.  It's nothing compared to the original treasure in the treasury, but if all were collected, it would be a considerable amount.  However, this kind of behavior, which is almost like picking up rags, is really a bit shabby.  The warehouse managers looked at each other with strange expressions.  Harlot didn¡¯t care at all, heHe glanced at everyone: "What are you waiting for? Do you still want your salary?" Startled by his ferocious look, the managers immediately dispersed and ran to clean up.  "Boss, leave this to me." Harold patted his chest and assured Raymond: "I promise not to lose a single gold coin." Although Raymond didn't think that such a few gold coins could change anything, this kind of hardship  The spirit of simplicity is still worthy of recognition.  He nodded and said: "Okay, I'll leave this to you." Bastet joked: "Meow, don't be corrupt yourself." Harlot was furious: "You look down on people so much, I  How can you be greedy for the boss's money?" Overall, Harlot's loyalty is still trustworthy.  He followed him and said: "Besides, our business rule is not to take away empty money. We finally got here. It would be unlucky not to take something." As soon as these words came out, Raymond and Bastet were both dumbfounded.  Lot's attitude was still the same as when he was a robber.  Afterwards, the two left Harold cleaning up and left the vault.  ***************************************************  **************** At this time, the battle in Sonali City has come to an end. With the influx of Sidonis religious troops, the mercenary resistance was quickly collapsed.  Although there is still some sporadic resistance in the city, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.  Thick smoke rose from all over the city and rushed into the air. Occasionally, the screams of people dying could be heard, indicating that the fighting was still continuing in some places.  On the street.  Groups of sectarian soldiers ran past in neat lines, and residents hid in their homes, watching them with fearful eyes.  However, their military discipline was very good. At least along the way, Raymond did not see the usual scenes of robbery or disturbing the people after breaking the city.  At this moment, there is only one place in the entire city that is still resisting tenaciously.  That is the Central Council.  When Raymond and Bastet arrived at the central parliament, it was heavily surrounded by the Sidonian sect's army. The mercenaries who refused to surrender and the nobles of Lavit occupied the parliament and were resisting desperately.  The two sides were killing each other loudly, and the fierce battle was no less intense than during the siege.  Sheerness, Lorna and others were also there to watch the battle. Since Raymond was just a guest and he did not intend to help the Sidonis sect bleed in vain, he only brought a small number of people with him into the city.  Headington's troops were led by Bryce and Hermey.  Return to Ferelden City to rest.  "How's the situation?" Raymond walked over and asked.  Seeing that it was him, Hillness saluted Raymond, and then said: "There are still some people trapped in the parliament, refusing to surrender. The leader is the president of the Central Parliament, Lorraine." "Deneke  Where is Emil, have you found him?" Raymond asked.  Hillness shook his head: "They don't seem to be in the parliament. The Sidonis sect has launched a city-wide search, but so far no trace of them has been found." "Strange. Where did those two people go? Also,  Why is Lorraine the only one resisting in the parliament?" Raymond couldn't help but wonder.  Because they don¡¯t know what happened within the Necromancer Guild.  No one knows that the current Luo Lan is just a fake.  On the contrary, Raymond was quite surprised that the president of the Necromancer Guild was not Luo Lan, but Deneke, who had been his follower before.  In addition, after the death of the undead army, both Edward and Cyrus disappeared.  Now, with the addition of Denek and Emil, all the important figures in the Necromancer Guild are missing, which is really worrying.  It seems that only after breaking through the parliament and catching Luo Lan can we find out.  Because of the resentment of the undead killings in Leonard City.  The Sidonian sect's attack was very fierce. A large number of sect soldiers attacked the gate of the parliament. The mercenaries who defended the parliament erected fences and resisted desperately.  Rows of archers stood on the second floor, arrows flying all over the sky. The magicians from both sides continued to throw magic at each other. Ice, fire and lightning of various colors passed through the air, hitting the magic shield and bursting into clouds.  The light ball was hit somewhere from time to time, and the exploded bricks and stones flew in all directions, and dust billowed up.  "It looks like this place will be lost soon." After observing for a moment, Hillness came to a conclusion.  The people who are still resisting are all elite mercenaries. In addition, the building of the Central Council is tall, magnificent and extremely strong. It is quite difficult to capture this place.  But the large number of people can¡¯t stand it, and the sect soldiers are all eager for revenge. They rush up one by one desperately, and the mercenary defense line is retreating step by step.  Suddenly, there was a crash, and the fence blocking the door was blown to pieces by a magic bomb. The mercenaries in front of the door were caught off guard and were immediately swept away by the impact of the magic bomb explosion.  Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining people had no choice but to complain to the parliament.??Retreat.  At this time, more than a dozen soldiers of the Armored Monk Corps lined up, holding giant shields, and slowly walked towards the door like a moving wall.  The archers on the second floor tried their best to fire arrows at them, but they were unable to penetrate the opponent's thick armor.  Soon, the armored monks approached the door, and a few unwilling mercenaries tried to resist, trying to block them out.  But before they could get close, they were chopped into pieces by more than a dozen heavy swords.  After occupying the door, groups of commandos from the sect filed in, and the shouts of killing were heard again inside the parliament.  But everyone knows that this is just a desperate struggle, and the fall of the Parliament is a foregone conclusion.  ***************************************************  **************** "Meow, young master, let's go too." Bastet couldn't help but said, her hands itching.  "No need, this is not our battle." Raymond shook his head: "Just wait, they will bring the people out soon." Raymond didn't want to engage in a meaningless battle, and they couldn't intervene.  Get started.  Now the Sidonis sect is working hard to catch all the nobles of Lavit, and then find every necromancer.  By the time the battle here ends, the Ravit Federation will basically be completely defeated.  What he is most concerned about now is when he can find his money.  "You are Lord Raymond, right?" Just when Raymond was waiting to watch the show.  A voice suddenly came from behind them.  Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman standing not far away.  While carefully observing his surroundings, he looked at Raymond with a cautious look on his face.  Now that the war is in chaos, no one knows who this man is.  Bastet and Lorna immediately looked wary, and the man immediately spread his hands to show that he meant no harm.  Then waited for Raymond's reaction.  Raymond nodded: "It's me." "Great, I finally found you." The man said happily.  He took two steps closer, then lowered his voice and said, "I am Lord Freddy's secret agent stationed in Sonali City. I have important information to report to you." "Freddy?" Raymond and others couldn't help but wonder.  Take a look.  In order to guard against the Ravit Federation, Freddy sent many spies to sneak into Sonali City to collect intelligence. However, due to the strict system of the Necromancer Guild, it was impossible to penetrate inside. In addition, the focus of Headington's intelligence gradually shifted.  To the more threatening Kingdom of Gaspard and Kingdom of Dilk, there has not been much progress in the intelligence work on Ravit.  Now, a man claiming to be one of Freddy's men appears suddenly.  Can't help but make people suspicious.  Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, the man immediately took out something from his arms: "Lord Raymond, my name is Richard. Please see, this is the token sent to us by Lord Freddy." Hillness took it  passed, and then handed it to Raymond.  Raymond looked at it and saw that it was indeed the identification issued by Freddy to his intelligence personnel for identification purposes, and Richard's name was clearly written on it.  The other party can tell the name of Headington¡¯s intelligence chief.  With this thing again, the credibility is much higher.  Raymond then said: "What do you want to say?" The man named Richard was about to speak.  It happened that a group of Sidonian sect soldiers passed by in front of everyone, so he said: "This is not the place to talk, please come with me." Logically speaking, the Sidonian sect naturally has no control over Raymond's contact with his men.  , but as an intelligence officer's natural vigilance, Richard still chose to avoid it.  ??At least on the surface.  This guy doesn't look fake.  After hesitating for a moment, Raymond decided to follow him to see what information the other party could provide.  Several people followed Richard to a side alley. When the surrounding area was clear, Richard turned around.  at the same time.  Lorna and Silness guarded the alley one behind the other, while Bast watched each other's actions vigilantly. If there was any change, they would react as quickly as possible.  "Okay, you can talk now." Raymond said calmly.  Richard seemed to have never seen the actions of Bastet and others. He respectfully said to Raymond: "Lord Raymond, there is a secret passage in the Central Council." "What did you say!?" Raymond was surprised.  Richard said: "There is a secret underground passage under Sonali City. It was dug by the big businessmen to save their lives when Sonali City was originally built. Not only the Central Council, but also the homes of several important nobles in the city have entrances and exits.  The farthest exit is outside the city. This is a secret that only a few high-level officials know." Raymond said in a deep voice, "Is the news reliable? How did you know it?" Richard explained: "Sir Freddy sent it.  We sneak into SonaAfter Li, our original task was to infiltrate the Central Parliament and monitor the actions of Ravitt's senior officials at all times.  " "But after the Necromancer occupied Sonali, the defense was very tight. We didn't have any chance at all. My other companions could only collect some irrelevant intelligence on the periphery.  I was the only one who was lucky enough to enter the house of a high-ranking congressman named Vizsla and work there.  " "Later, Vizsla was assassinated by the Necromancer because of his disagreement with Speaker Lorraine. In the chaos at that time, I escaped with Vizsla's butler. The butler had served the Vizsla family for generations and controlled  I learned a lot of secrets about the other party, and I learned about this from him.  " "It is said that Vizsla's relatives tried to use that passage to escape, but the passage had long been controlled by the Necromancer, so no one escaped, and the housekeeper never dared to go in again.  " "In that case, why don't you report it to Freddy?  "Silnis asked. Richard said: "Not long ago, the undead poison in the butler's body broke out, and he revealed this to me before he died.  I originally wanted to report to the superiors immediately, but after the Sidonian sect laid siege to the city, no news could get out.  It has been delayed until now.  I learned that Lord Raymond had also entered the city, so I hurriedly came to report.  " This explanation is quite reasonable. The treasury that disappeared for no reason, the missing Denek and Emil, and the fact that Lorraine was willing to stay in the Central Council to defend the city all show that the Necromancer is confident. He is not afraid of the Sidonis sect attacking the city at all.  The treasure that disappeared from the vault was probably transferred out of the city through that secret passage. Then, it was naturally impossible for Luo Lan to really die with the Central Council. Looking back, he looked at more and more sect soldiers rushing into the building of the council.  Raymond knew that Luo Lan would escape from the secret passage at any time. If he wanted to catch this crucial guy, he had to act quickly. ¡°You have done a good job. Take us to the secret passage immediately.  "Raymond made a decision immediately and said to Richard. "Richard nodded: "I only know that there is one entrance to Congressman Vizsla's house. After Vissla's death, his house has been abandoned."  But I have already found out the approximate location from the housekeeper.  ¡± Then, under the leadership of Richard, Raymond and his party headed for Vizsla¡¯s mansion. ****************************  ****************************************** The group of people walked through the streets and alleys, and it didn¡¯t take long for them to  Arriving at a prosperous residential area, this place is located in the center of Sonali City, surrounded by beautiful mansions. Most of the nobles in Sonali are wealthy businessmen, so each of these houses is more beautiful than the other.  However, due to the destruction of Sonali City, these nobles were able to hide and escape. The once prosperous residential area was in a state of depression. The streets were littered with things discarded by the refugees, and all kinds of gorgeous clothes were now like weeds.  They were scattered all over the street. There was no one nearby, and occasionally a scream came from nowhere, adding to the feeling of chaos. Vizsla's mansion was located in the west of this area, far away.  Chad pointed to the largest mansion and said, "That's it.  " Everyone came closer and saw a wall as high as one person surrounding the wide front garden. The gravel paths in the courtyard were winding. They led to the huge fountain in the center, and beyond that was the amazing four-story mansion.  The mansion is surrounded by lush trees and occupies a very large area. It is obvious at first glance that the family is either rich or wealthy. However, at this moment, the elegant mansion appears to be in ruins. The front garden with intricate patterns is locked with an iron chain.  It had not been pruned for a long time, the weeds were overgrown, the flowers and trees were withered, and the ground was full of rotten leaves. Although the big house still looked relatively bright from the outside, the doors and windows of the house were closed, and it was gloomy and claustrophobic even during the day. You could tell at a glance that it had not been there for a long time.  Someone was staying. Richard walked to the door and pushed it. The door was closed tightly, and the iron chain wrapped around it made a clanging sound. Richard looked a little embarrassed: "Since Vizsla's.  After the family fell apart, this place was sealed off, and I'm afraid no one has been in for a long time.  " Lorna stepped forward without saying a word, pulled out the sword Goodwin left for her, and slashed the iron chain with her sword. Then, the rusted iron door slowly opened with a teeth-searing creak.  The sound of the iron door opening echoed in the deserted street. Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the clothes and debris all over the street were blown around. In the garden of Vizsla's mansion, weeds also blew with the wind.  The fallen leaves on the ground rolled up, just like the cry of injustice from Vizsla's ghost, and a heart-stopping sense of terror arose spontaneously. Raymond and others were used to seeing wind and waves, and remained unmoved. Richard was just an ordinary person.  The secret agent couldn't help but shrink his head and swallowed, "Let's go.  "Leimeng walked in first. Walking in the once delicateIn the garden, the dilapidation here is even more obvious. The beautiful fountain has dried up long ago, the bottom of the pool is covered with a layer of dust, and spiders have built thick webs in the corners of the fountain.  Everyone arrived in front of the big house. The main door of the house was closed tightly. There was still a seal from the Sonali garrison on it, but the paper of the seal was about to fall off.  The row of windows facing everyone had white curtains drawn, and the surroundings were silent, as quiet as if there were ghosts wandering nearby.  "Is the entrance inside the house?" Hillness asked.  Richard looked around, and then said: "No, the housekeeper said it was on the other side." As he said that, he led a few people to the other side and came to the rear of the house.  There is a small forest about a few hundred meters away from the house. There are several wooden houses and a warehouse standing beside the forest. It is a place where working tools, firewood and livestock are stored. There is a row of stables not far away, but of course there are already  There is nothing left.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
