Chapter 267 The Viscount Mansion on the Peak

"Player Super Justice ()"

Viscount Dolgoruki.

In the investigation of the players in the saltpeter ranch, only this name was finally found. It was as if this man was the only one dealing with the Fallen and the others were completely unaware of it.

This is obviously not possible.

The political composition of the Far North Brotherhood consists of a county and its subordinate viscounts.

And Dolgoruki is not the most authoritative Viscount, nor the one most loyal to Earl Yuri. He does not have the power, nor the courage, to contact the Fallen on behalf of others.

This requires no reasoning at all.

The truth is already in front of you.

——Viscount Ostov Dolgoruki was just a target and a scapegoat pushed out by the Far North Brotherhood.

Only then did Annan realize that they had already made a plan for "if they were discovered"... and the content of this plan was to launch Viscount Dolgoruki and the entire Dolgoruki family behind him. top sin.

"Are you trying to delay time..."

Annan thought.

No matter who proposed the "Sufficient Gold" plan, who taught them the magic cellar technology, why they believed in this plan and why they agreed to it... In short, all they need now is time.

If Annan didn't know about the "Sufficient Gold" plan, then he came to knock out the Dolgoruki family, which could be considered a successful political goal.

First of all, arresting them with tangible evidence will undoubtedly suppress the arrogance of the nobles in the north and increase the deterrence of other nobles in the mainland.

And through the torture of Winter's Hand, they can also end their communication channel with the outside world... If you are careful, you can even touch the handle of several of his "accomplices".

A great harvest.

It can even be said to be a big victory - if there are no accidents after that, the Extreme North Brotherhood will not be able to make any waves again.

However, Annan knew about the full gold plan.

Then he can perceive...

"—This is the gecko's tail-cutting plan."

The Far North Brotherhood bought time by ceding a large number of political interests and shrinking its sphere of influence on a large scale.

In this way, it can be said to be the second layer.

But here comes the problem.

Annan learned about the evidence of the Dolgoruky family's connection with the Fallen at the same location where he learned of the "Sufficient Gold" project.

Since they have already made a plan that "evidence of collusion with the fallen" will be discovered, are they so sure that the "full gold" plan will not be spread?

So what if their purpose is to hope that Annan thinks "they're just stalling for time" and throws them away?

This is the third floor - and back again.

The question now is which floor they are on.

"There are wise men in the north..."

Annan thought with interest.

There is only one problem, Annan has not figured it out for the time being.

Since the Far North Brotherhood had used "Viscount Dolgoruki" as a bait, it was thrown directly in front of Annan and the others.

How could they be sure that it was absolutely impossible for Annan to convince him to leak the information... Or were they so sure that Viscount Dolgoruki could withstand the torture of the Hand of Winter?

Well, the other way around.

Annan took a deep look at the man in military uniform with a scar on his face.

——Is he really Viscount Dolgoruki?

As if feeling Annan's gaze, Ostov Dolgoruki suddenly turned his head, nodded at Annan, and showed a kind smile.

This smile made Annan narrow his eyes slightly.

If he's really Viscount Dolgoruki... it's too calm, isn't it?

Annan temporarily gave up the idea of ​​jumping his face and grabbing people away.

Because he smelled traps—

And Annan deeply understands... no need to fear traps.

Only need to break the opponent's trap, but it will put the enemy at a disadvantage. Because there is too much information in the trap, it will in turn expose the other party's situation and the other party's understanding of themselves.

This is undoubtedly an opportunity.

And when Annan noticed their route, this feeling became more and more obvious:

After leaving the subway station in Wrangel province, walking a little way west, you come across a high mountain.

Although it was the first time that Annan saw it, he could recognize it at the first time. This was Mount Fran—and the source of the name of Wrangel Province.

The name Fran means "deep well" in the Elvish language, and it is one of the few mines in Winter that produces rare coal resources.

In front of them is a rugged mountain road.

Even though the small enchantment had blocked the freezing blizzard outside, it still couldn't stop the freezing cold seeping from the ground.

It was noon now, but there was no warmth at all.

The air in the mountains was damp and cold, as if the soles of the shoes were glued to them. This is not so much a "road" to the Viscount's mansion as it is a narrow path leading to a hunter's hut in the mountains.

Not only are there no stones, but even the soil on the road has not been completely leveled, and its width cannot even allow more than four people to travel together.

The only difference between it and the jungle is that it still chops down trees temporarily, and occasionally steps on roots that have not been dug up, or trips over stones.

This can't help but make people wonder - will people really take this road on weekdays?

Or……

"Under such traffic conditions, how should the Viscount's daily food needs be transported?"

Citalopram asked.

She is not the Hand of Winter, but she is also a young girl more or less. It's not rude to ask such a thing in her capacity, and it doesn't seem like a forced question.

"Actually, there is another road to this mountain. It goes up half a circle from the west side of the mountain. It's just the opening, it's too far from the subway station... It's better to say, we're taking a small road here. But go up a little bit. , you can see the road."

The Viscount explained: "As for the miners, they usually enter from the mine on the south side, and they don't need to climb up the mountain..."

He said, and led the crowd out of the jungle.

The eyes suddenly opened up—although there was still no slate paving, it was a smooth and spacious dirt road going up the mountain. The Viscount Palace is at the top.

"Lord Viscount, do you usually live so high?"

Citalopram pressed, "Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

"Ah, because I like watching the sea."

"Seaview?"

"That's right, you probably haven't seen the map. After Fran Mountain and further west, it's the Black Sea...that is, the sea north of Noah."

The Viscount smiled gently and introduced calmly: "If you live on the top of the mountain, you can see a beautiful sunset every day at dusk. This is the most beautiful scene you can see in a desolate place like Wrangel. already."

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly... Annan felt that the Viscount did not lie.

But he always had a vague feeling... like something wasn't right.

Zhuoya also seemed a little silent. Since she saw the Viscount, she didn't say a word. She followed Annan quietly, as if she was thinking about something.
