Chapter 381 Scandal

Allen finally decided to accept the invitation of Black Iron Fort, and went to the Blood Rock Wasteland to sign a peace agreement with Sir Sharon a week later.

After bidding farewell to the envoys in Black Iron Fort, Belmode returned secretly. The first thing he did when he returned to Storm City was to report to Allen his findings in Black Iron Fort. The information obtained by Belmode is very useful. Allen can use this as a basis. Only when he meets Sir Sharon will he be able to decide on some details and attitudes.

"The Black Iron Castle has a history of more than a hundred years. After five lords, Sir Sharon is the sixth lord and the one who has been in power for the longest time."

In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Belmode reported: "Sir Sharon himself is a 16th-level knight. He may not be outstanding in personal force, but he is very good at business. The Iron Banner of the Black Iron Castle The first president of the Chamber of Commerce was actually Sir Sharon, who was later handed over to the current president, Cam. Also under the governance of Sir, Black Iron Fort quickly accumulated a lot of wealth in just two decades, making the territory Going strong."

"Of course, if it was just Sir Sharon, Black Iron Fortress would not be able to develop to its current scale. Among other things, Sir Maud of Storm City had thought of it more than once. In the end, Maud and Sharon still chose The marriage is because of the existence of Higgs."

"Higs?" The figure of the middle-aged man in the mission flashed across Allen's mind: "The leader and founder of the Black Cloud Knights?"

"Yes, this is Higgs." Belmode said in a deep voice: "Heggs already had the strength of level 17 when he founded the Knights, and it is said that he has already started to reach the level 20 mark in these years. If there is no accident In other words, his strength is at least around level 18 or 9. In terms of personal force, Higgs' strength is enough to sweep all the strong people in the entire border land, including you, the boss."

Allen nodded and said, "It's true in terms of level alone. It's just that in real battles, level is not the only criterion for winning or losing. Of course, that's on the premise that the difference in level is not too big."

"In short, I will be careful about this man, so go on."

"The next thing I heard was more interesting."

Belmode showed a meaningful smile: "But I don't think this is a rare thing for the boss, after all you noble lords... Hehe. Let's get to the point, Sir Sharon has two wives, the first wife Due to her frailty and sickness, Su Ya married the Jazz for many years but had nothing to do. So the Jazz married another wife, Melinda, and this Melinda is Higgs' younger sister."

"Oh?"

"Before that, Higgs was just a warrior. But when Sir Sharon was still a horse thief, Higgs had a close friendship with him.

After marrying his sister to the knight, Higgs even used this to enter the center of power in Black Iron Castle. Coupled with his strong personal strength, and the establishment of the Black Cloud Knights. It can be said that Higgs' influence in the territory is gradually overpowering Sir Sharon himself. "

Allen said unexpectedly: "This is not good news. If the master and slave are confused, Sir Sharon is not afraid of being taken over by Higgs?"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Belmode shook his head and smiled: "Sir Sharon is very afraid, otherwise he would not have cultivated his own bodyguards these years. His bodyguards have been stationed in the city lord's mansion for many years, and the leader of the bodyguards, Tucker After Higgs, he is regarded as the knight with the most potential to hit the 20th level in the Black Iron Fortress. If he didn't have this power in his hands, I'm afraid Higgs would have pushed Sir Sharon out of power long ago, right?"

"In other words, the interior of the Black Iron Castle is not so united, which is worth noting."

"Not only that, I also said it just now, some interesting things." Belmode shrugged his shoulders, no longer showing off, he said: "Higs and Melinda secretly have an affair. And this matter, Sir Sharon has heard about it for a long time, but because of Higgs' high position and authority, he has been unable to move him. So this green hat has been held on the poor Sir's head for many years."

"What?" Alan asked in surprise, "Aren't Higgs and Melinda brother and sister?"

"Their relationship is just Higgs' one-sided remarks. Everyone knows that there are many ways to do it. What's more, what if they are brothers and sisters? This is not the first time I have heard of this kind of thing." Belmode He said with a dry smile: "The important thing is that there are rumors that Higgs and Melinda have their own son. If this is true, what do you think will happen in the future?"

Allen thought for a while, and said: "Higs doesn't need to come forward at all, he just needs to guard this son. And this son, at least on the surface, is the child of Sir Sharon and Melinda, so he has the right to inherit. Well, Higgs only needs to eradicate those competitors for his own child, and finally assist him to sit on the lordship of Black Iron Castle, which is not much different from sitting in that position himself."

"So... I seem to know who his child is."

"Oh? The boss is really well informed." This time it was Belmode's turn to be surprised.

Alan shook his head and said: "No, I'm just guessing, but it should be eight or nine. Not long ago, Higgs personally served as an envoy, and there was a young man with him. He is Sir Sharon Bill, the son of Higgs, if what you said is true, then this Bill should be the son of Higgs. But judging from their attitude, Bill doesn’t know the truth.”

"If I were Higgs, I wouldn't let him know the truth. The less he knows, the better it will be for Higgs." Belmode smiled.

"You're right." Allen patted him on the shoulder: "I've worked hard on you this time, so I'll let you go on vacation for a few days. Spend more time with Miss Qila. If you are willing to get together, I can be your partner." Witness."

Belmode laughed and said: "It's a bit early to say this, and with our current situation, I don't have any intention of getting married. I think the same is true for Qila."

Allen smiled without saying a word.

A week passed quickly, and when scaffolding began to be erected at the construction site outside the city, Allen left Storm City with a team.

The meeting place with Sir Sharon was set at Dick's old lair that day. According to Higgs, it was once the end of the chaos in the Blood Rock Wasteland and the beginning of the peaceful development of Storm City and Black Iron Fort. is of great significance.

And now, as the initiator, the people from Black Iron Fort arrived at the meeting place as early as three days ago.

Most of the stone houses in Dick's old lair still survive, and the caved-in cellar later became a grave for burying the dead. The traces left by that day's battle can still be seen here, as well as the dark red blood that has been mixed with sand and stone. In addition to the black cloud knights, there are two hundred infantrymen in the Black Iron Castle. After the team arrived, they moved in first to clean up the meeting place that would bring about major changes to the borderlands and prepare for it.

And the day before Alan's departure, Sir Sharon arrived late with his personal guards. Higgs arranged a ventilated room for Lord Jazz. As soon as Jazz moved in, the guards immediately sealed off a large area nearby. Higgs just smiled, and told his knights to stay away, so as not to cause friction with the guards at this juncture, and make outsiders laugh.

Unexpectedly, at night, there were several screams from Sharon's stone house. Then a woman covered in blood rushed out of the house, but was captured by the pro-guards. A guard pulled out a sharp sword and directly stabbed the woman through the heart.

Higgs heard the sound and just saw this scene. He frowned and shook his head, walking forward. The two guards stepped forward, stood in front of Higgs expressionlessly, and said, "My lord, it's late at night. Your lord Baron has already gone to sleep. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do."

"Soldier, I'll give you a chance now. If you don't want to die, get out of here." Higgs smiled coldly. In his eyes, these two tenth-level personal guards didn't even have the right to block the way.

If he hadn't been taking care of it all these years, Higgs would have taken these personal guards to the knife. These sirloin dogs thought they had climbed up to a good master, their eyes were higher than the top, and they didn't know if they were dead or alive. Contradictions like this are not once or twice, but this time, Higgs has been secretly furious.

There was an invisible killing intent on his body, and the huge sense of oppression made the two guards feel overwhelmed. At this moment, a person came out of the house, and said with a light smile, "They also acted according to the order and offended the head of the group, please don't worry about it."

"Tuck." Higgs narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young guard commander in front of him.

Tucker is less than thirty, but already has the strength of level 17. He is tall and tall, without the domineering oppression of Higgs, but he also has a certain bearing. His bronze-tanned skin made him look as firm as cast iron. With his deep outline and status, he seemed to be the dream lover of all the girls in the Black Iron Fortress.

Even Higgs has to admit that such a promising young man is indeed worthy of appreciation. Unfortunately, the two did not stand on the same front, so Higgs did not buy his account, pointing to the female corpse on the ground and said: "This is the female slave I just gave to Sir Sharon, should you explain to me?" Excuse me, why is she now a corpse?"

Before Tucker could speak, a rough voice sounded from the stone house: "I let them kill people!"

A man emerged from the room, and this man was even a little taller than Higgs in terms of stature. On the rough face, a pair of eyes loomed fiercely. His hair has turned gray, but his body shape remains the same as that of a young man. Even because of the precipitation of the years, he naturally exudes a heavy breath. He is like a hard rock on the blood rock wasteland, no matter how the wind and sand erode him, he still stands upright.

"Lord Baron." Tucker stepped aside and called out in a low voice.

This man is naturally the lord of Black Iron Fort, Baron Sharon!
