Section 21 Private meeting
Cade was waiting for him in the mill. When he saw Ashu Rufate, Cade showed a smile on his face.
"You are indeed here! I knew you will come."
"Is there anything I have to look for?" Ashu Rufate tried his best to pretend to be unaware of it. "Or did I do something wrong?"
"You did nothing wrong, you did a good job." Cade laughed. "Actually, when I asked you to go to the excavation site, I didn't have much confidence. But it turned out that I was wrong! I overestimated the vigilance of those church people and underestimated your skills. Being able to climb up from that wall is an amazing achievement. I know that many agile people sighed in front of the slippery city wall."
"How do you know...I crawled over?"
"Because those peaks are impossible to cross and that beach is too sinister, there is no other way except to climb in."
"How do you know that it wasn't the guard who let me in? Maybe I bribed someone."
"I have my own news channel." Cade smiled mysteriously. "Eric also praised you. So I came to see you specifically. In fact, I need your help!"
"What's the busy?" Ashu Rufate asked. He clearly noticed that Cade's expression and tone were completely different from the last time he met. Today, Cade looked like a mysterious and mysterious person, and he was still willing to stop talking.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... Let me think about how to start this. By the way," Cade paced, "you should have talked to anyone else about the three of us, right? I, Neil, and Pete...how do they think of us?"
"They said that you three are direct subordinates of Baron Pinold, who receive orders from the Baron and are responsible for leading the entire team." Asu Rufate did not hide it.
"Yes...yes, that's it, so our problem comes!" Cade stopped and looked up at Ashu Rufate, the eyes of both sides were in contact.
"I have never seen Baron Pinold!"
"You haven't seen it?" Ashu Rufate was really not pretending to be surprised this time.
"Although many people think I am a direct subordinate of the Baron... when others ask me this question, I deal with it casually, neither admitting nor opposing it... but in fact I have never met Baron Pinold."
"The only ones who have seen the Barons are Pitt and Neil. The earliest of our team was organized by them. I have not been very long," said Cade. "I joined this team more than a year ago. Over the past year, our influence has become increasingly greater and even spread throughout Sivania. It's not that I boasted, at least half of them were my credit. Now, everyone admits that I am one of the leaders. Logically, my loyalty and ability should be unquestionable, but Baron Pinold has never met me, never once!"
As he said the last sentence, Cade stared at Ashu Rufate's face.
"Ashu Rufat, I remember what you said when we last met... Actually, I joined this team with the same motivation as you. A year ago, I bumped into it like you last time, and now I feel that something is wrong. This is why I look for you, because you and I are exactly the same in this regard."
"Uh..." Ashu Rufat originally thought that this meeting was a meeting of win-win and bribery, but he didn't expect Cade to say these things. "Didn't you ask Pete and Neil?"
"I asked, of course. I asked them many times when they would meet the Baron. At first they always fooled them. But at that time, I thought my performance was not enough and I could not get trust, so I didn't pursue it. But now the same excuse can no longer stop me. Some time ago, Pete told a task assigned by a Baron, and he said that if I completed the task, the Baron would meet me."
"What mission?" Ashu Rufate wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't say it. Cade would naturally say what he wanted to say, and there was no need for him to be led by the other party.
"The task of this content is to kill Hathel of Via!" Cade shrugged, "I think this may be related to his recent raid of our people. Several brothers have been arrested by them... I don't know how many secrets they revealed under torture, but our people finally saw that the captured brothers were on the gallows."
Ashu Rufate began to understand a little bit what Cade was doing for him.
"But it's not easy to kill that Hathel... In fact, it's not just not easy, but very difficult. The guy is very afraid of being assassinated, so he has the best bodyguard, an excellent guard dog, and a well-defended residence. What's worse is that the guy always huddled in his home and rarely went out, like a turtle that just shrank in his shell!" Cade smiled. "I have a feeling that even if humans perish, that guy will live with cockroaches."
"If the house is protected in a tight way, can't you wait for his chance to go out? As long as there is an ambush circle composed of fifty people... fifty bows and arrows are shooting at the same time..."
Cade shook his head, "Even if that guy goes out, there is no regularity. It is almost impossible to judge where he goes and set up an ambush. Besides, it is difficult for us to arrange such a team... Even if it is arranged, it is easy to be discovered."
"Then you come to me, do you think...you think I'm going to have fifty people?"
"No, the reason I look for you is because you are an absolute face and are very suitable for implementing my plan. Yes, I already have a way to deal with Hathel, but I just need to implement it alone. The reason I didn't do it myself is because I have always appeared as a baron subordinate. There are many people I know about this face, so the risk of exposure is too high."
"Do you trust me so much?"
"People with the same interests can always be trusted. You are also anxious to see Baron Pinold, right?"
"But this mission has nothing to do with me... You seem to believe I will help you? What can I get?"
"If everything goes well, I will meet Baron Pinold... Then no matter what reward Baron Pinold gives me, I will share it with you."
"So why should I believe your words are true?"
"Why should I lie? What we want is actually the same, that is the mystery of eternal life. And this mystery will not be reduced by sharing." Cade looked sincere, and he did not notice a trace of ridicule flashing across the corner of Ashu Rufate's mouth.
"What if Baron Pinold didn't tell you the secret of immortality?" Ashu Rufate asked. "It's very likely that vampires won't share this secret with others easily."
"I just said, 'No matter what reward Baron Pinold gives me, I will share it with you'. In fact, except for the mystery of immortality, you can give you everything else." Cade said. "And, although this secret is our final goal, we also need to come step by step, right? Seeing the Baron himself is the first step!"
Ashu Rufat sighed lightly. "Yes! What is your plan?"
"There is one of our people in Hathel's mansion," replied Cade. "You go find him, and he will find a way to recommend you to the butler as a servant. Then, you should be able to get a job of delivering water or food to Hathel... At this time, you find a way to find a chance to put this thing in his cup."
Cade took a necklace from his neck and handed it to Ashrufate. This necklace is a very ordinary bronze chain, not worth a lot of money, but its pendant is very unique. The pendant of this necklace is a huge stone with dark green light.
"Put this thing in? Such a big thing?" Ashu Rufate took the necklace - this one was too big. It would be impossible to put it in without attracting others' attention.
"That's not what you mean. Every time you just need to soak it in a drink and take it out immediately. This kind of thing only needs to be done ten times, and Hathel is done. Of course, if the time is right, you can also speed up - use a knife to cut a little powder and throw it in. In this way, it will be fatal at once!"
"This thing is so dangerous?" Ashu Rufate carefully observed the color of the stone.
"Although it's very poisonous, it's only for eating." Cade replied. "Although I know you won't be stupid enough to lick it, if your hands have touched this thing, it's best to wash it three times before you can get the food. But wearing it on your neck is not a problem, after all, you can't lick your chest, right?"
"Is this a simple task?" Cade asked. "It's just a servant for a few months."
Ashu Rufate did not answer, but just quietly put the necklace on his neck, just like Cade just now. Due to the length of the chain, the necklace was perfectly hidden under the neckline and under the clothes, and others could not see its existence.
"Carrie," he asked in his mind. "What is this?"
"Master, this is a dimensional stone." In my mind, Carrie immediately said. "It is an ore condensed and deposited by black magic energy. In other words, this is the materialization state of black magic energy. Although this thing is non-toxic, this stone is very large and has quite strong energy radiation. If you immerse it in the target food and water as you just said, or cut a small amount of powder and put it in the food and water, the accumulated trace radiation will easily enter the target body and cause fatal effects. Moreover, if ordinary people wear it close to their body, they will accumulate fatal radiation for about half a month and die in three months! Of course, it is completely okay for you to wear this thing. You can even smash it through black magic and turn it back into black magic energy for you to use!"
"Okay, then we're up. No matter what Baron Pinold gives you, you have to share it with me!" Asu Ruffatt put on his necklace, checked and sorted it out, and said to Cade.
"I swear!" Cade replied. After seeing Ash Rufate put on his necklace, his smile seemed very sincere. "I have no interest in anything except the mystery of immortality. This mystery will not be reduced by sharing."
"Tell me how to do it."
"Go to Via, there is a tavern called the Mysterious Stone. In the tavern, prepare a glass of ale, a glass of beer, and a glass of fruit wine for yourself, but three glasses of wine can only be placed on the table and cannot be drunk. Then someone will look for you." Cade replied. "If you sneak in and be a servant, that person will arrange it for you. As for the other...the details depend on your own grasp... By the way, I have another requirement."
“What are the requirements.”
