The private soldiers killed all the guards who came to capture the earl, and then quickly fled the capital with Patrick and returned to the earldom.
However, unlike this life, Filia was wandering around the earldom with the brave man at that time.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Patrick at that time used the excuse of escorting his daughter back to the capital to bring his family's private soldiers into the capital and hid them in his own mansion.
This is a game between the top powerful classes.
Although Murphy didn't know much about what happened afterwards, according to his memory, Patrick should have won in the end.
Because Earl Patrick eventually returned to Wilfridsburg, broke away from the control of Leyden XIII, and took complete control of the entire earldom.
What's even more outrageous is that no one knows what means he used to make Leyden XIII choose to keep silent and not cause trouble for the Reinhard family.
As for Filia, in order to find the remaining members of the brave team that would satisfy the brave, she had been taking the brave to wander around her own territory.
So she was completely unaware of these things, and she found out later, apparently from what Patrick told her when he suddenly returned home.
Murphy didn't know any further details, as Filia didn't say anything.
She only said at the time that she joined the team because of the hero's visit.
And her father, Patrick, had a conflict with the king and then suddenly returned.
In fact, Filia also said one thing later, that is, after Patrick came back, she had a conflict with her father and even had a fight.
Murphy didn't know the details because he was completely asleep at the time.
And because he was asleep, he didn't hear what was said later, and he was beaten by Filia.
Beat him until he falls asleep immediately.
The original Filia should be with the hero now and has not been sent back to the capital.
But in this life, due to the change of the world line, she was sent to the royal capital by private soldiers, and now she should be staying at home with Patrick.
Although Murphy knew that Patrick must have his own way to ensure the safety of himself and Filia, after all, the game in the previous life ended with his victory.
But there is no absolute in everything.
If Patrick lost the game with the king because of Filia's return to the capital, or because of something he had done, then what would await him, Filia, and the other members of the Reinhard family would most likely be death or imprisonment.
After all, that was Leiden XIII, the king of the Kingdom of Leiden.
The result of going against the leader of a country might be better if you win.
But if you lose, it can only be a tragic ending.
No, since Patrick was able to win in his previous life, there shouldn't be any problem this time...right?
After all, for him, the only changes now are that Filia returned to the capital and that she did not meet the hero this time.
These two points should have little impact on Patrick.
Forget it, let's take a step by step.
Murphy shook his head and put these things behind him. He should go back to sleep now. After all, he did drink a lot of wine with Old Jed today.
-------------------------------------
The next morning, although Murphy was a little tired due to the hangover, he still completed today's training well.
Being tired is not a reason to be lazy. Since you have decided to do something, you should do it well.
After swinging the sword for an hour, Murphy simply washed himself and took a nap to recover his lost strength.
After waking up, he went to church first, and received a reply that neither Aunt Kelly nor Ella had returned.
After all, selecting a saint is not a trivial matter, so it is normal to take more time.
So, although Murphy was a little disappointed, he could still understand.
Next, he went to Gralin's blacksmith shop.
Gralin has already dealt with the dragon horns.
This sword made of dragon horns is black and red overall and looks very beautiful.
The texture of this sword is more like some kind of jade than metal.
However, although it looks like jade, this sword is very sharp.
And because the sword is made of dragon horns, it is incredibly strong. This can be seen from Murphy's previous iron sword, which became even stronger after adding some dragon horn scraps.
Since the sword is made directly from a whole dragon horn, the hilt and the blade are connected, and there is no hilt (the hilt is the guard where the hilt and the blade are connected).
So it's more of a blade with a grip than a sword.
In order to meet Murphy's request to hide the dragon horn sword, Gralin specially gave the sword a hilt.
While hiding the dragon horn material of the hilt, it also allows Murphy to use the sword better, although Murphy is not planning to use it in battle.
Murphy simply waved it twice and found that it felt a bit heavy and not suitable for him, which made him more determined to use it as a decoration.
After examining the dragon horn sword, Murphy began to talk to Gralin about Bronco.
Gralin didn't know that Murphy had still gotten rid of Bronco, so he was still struggling with whether he should tell him Bronco's information.
In his opinion, the guards at Wilfred Castle in the Earldom were undoubtedly very strict, so he was a little worried about whether Murphy could escape safely.
Although he had said before that he and that gray hat had slain the dragon together, Gralin was still a little worried.
This is not Gralin's fault. After all, he is just a blacksmith and has no specific idea of Murphy's strength. He also doesn't know how high Murphy's infiltration level is as a thief, otherwise he wouldn't be so entangled.
Chapter 76 Lars's Unsolved Mystery - The Disappearing City Lord
Gralin had no concrete idea of Murphy's strength, and Murphy had previously told him that although he and Candice killed the dragon together, almost all the damage was done by Candice, and he just helped to delay some time.
Therefore, he still didn't believe that Murphy could do it. After all, that was the fortress of the Reinhardt family. How could he easily break in, kill someone, and then get away with it?
But now Gralin can no longer regret it, because dwarves will not lie. Since he made a promise to Murphy before, he must fulfill it.
Even if that promise was originally just a way for him to buy himself some time.
Murphy looked at Gralin's extremely conflicted expression and smiled. He knew what Gralin was thinking at the moment. The way he glanced at him from time to time said it all.
"I went to the Earldom last week." He considered his words, spoke to attract Gralin's attention, then shrugged at him and continued, "I also visited Wilfred Castle."
"Well...I also went to meet someone."
"What?" Gralin was stunned. He always felt that Murphy's three short sentences seemed to contain a lot of things, but he had no time to think about it, because Murphy continued to speak.
"He seems to be the swordsmith of the Reinhardt family, his name is—"
"—Bronco."
When he finished the first half of the sentence, Gralin seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and looked into Murphy's eyes.
And when the three words "Blanco" came out of Murphy's mouth, his pupils suddenly contracted again.
Murphy certainly noticed Gralin's change, but he didn't care. He just continued talking to himself: "I felt that he was not a good person, so I found a night to go to his house and kill him."
His tone was relaxed, as if he was not going to kill anyone, but was visiting a relative and having a meal.
Gralin's hands gestured helplessly in front of his chest. He didn't know what movement he should make or where to put them.
His mouth opened and closed like a stranded goldfish trying to breathe oxygen. In fact, he really wanted to say something to respond to Murphy, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he had not yet organized his words.
No, it’s not so much that he didn’t organize his language well, but rather that his ideas simply could not be fully expressed in words.
In the end, the dwarf, who was already a little old, began to tremble all over as if a switch was suddenly triggered.
"I'm sorry for making the decision without telling you in advance." Murphy lowered her head slightly and apologized to Gralin.
Gralin just lowered his head and trembled silently. He did not respond to Murphy's apology, nor did he make any sound.
Murphy stood beside him waiting. After a long time, he suddenly turned his back and wiped his eyes where Murphy couldn't see.
"My eyes are a little itchy."
Looking at Gralin who was facing away and talking stubbornly, Murphy just smiled and asked back: "Really?"
This question choked Gralin. He turned around and stared at Murphy who was laughing secretly, and the air became quiet again.
After a while, Gralin calmed down. He patted Murphy on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you did a great job, really."
"Ok, I know."
Gralin patted Murphy's shoulder again and said, "There's nothing much to say. Come have a drink with me."
"......it is good."
I had quit smoking, but ended up becoming an alcoholic, forced to do so.
Looking at Gralin who had withdrawn his hand and turned to leave the blacksmith shop, Murphy smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything, just nodded at Gralin's back.
Just drink it, what else can I do? Can I get angry with this old man who loves drinking?
-------------------------------------
The next day at noon, when Murphy dragged his exhausted body into the alley after exercising, the first thing Old Jed said when he saw him was: "Why do you look like you're about to die?"
After finding that Murphy did not respond, he smiled wickedly and added: "You also know that you have to find a woman?"
"That's totally unrelated." Murphy smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining, "No one can stand drinking for two days in a row, not to mention that I drank with a dwarf all day yesterday."
Two days of hangovers and the alcohol mixed in his blood made Murphy, a young man who couldn't drink, feel what pain was.
Even if you stay in bed for a while in the morning, even if you take a nap after exercising in the morning, the fatigue hidden in your body still cannot be dispelled.
"Let's rest in the carriage for a while." Murphy sighed helplessly and got into the carriage first. Old Jed looked at his back, chuckled, and got in as well.
This time the space in the car was much larger because there was not so much messy cargo piled up.
That's right, this time they were just going to the capital to watch a play, so there was no need to disguise themselves, although Murphy felt that there was no need for that the time he was with Filia before.
But forget it.
By the way, Dickens disappeared the night Murphy just came back, the day he was drinking with old Jed.
He disappeared silently in his bedroom. No one knew the details. Even the woman sleeping next to him didn't know how he disappeared.
Murphy didn't know either. He just had a drink with Gralin and then went home to sleep. When he woke up, he found that his city lord was suddenly gone.
However, thanks to Dickens' disappearance, Old Jed was able to temporarily hand over the organization to his subordinates, namely Holt and others, so that he had free time to take Murphy to the capital to watch the show.
At present, the news of Dickens' disappearance does not seem to have spread. On the surface, it seems that the knights and the nobles in the city have not taken any action, but they seem to be secretly sending more people to search for him.
Although the hope was slim, they kept looking.
The knights were fulfilling their duties as "guardians of the kingdom (nobles)", so it was understandable that they had to look for Dickens without letting the ordinary people in the city know about it and cause panic.
But no one knows why the nobles in the city are so keen on finding Dickens, or something he left behind.
However, I heard that some messy evidence has been brought to the surface recently by people with ulterior motives, and it seems that the subjects of that evidence are these nobles.
As for how Murphy knew these secrets, who knows?
He was just an ordinary adventurer. These big-picture matters concerning nobles, city lords and the like had nothing to do with a commoner like him.
Chapter 77 Big Guy
Old Jed stroked the short, hard stubble on his chin with his palm and looked at Murphy, who was making preparations to set up camp, with a scrutinizing look.
"Hmm~ You did it quite well."
"It's all thanks to your good teaching." Murphy shrugged with his back to Old Jed, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, but his hands never stopped moving.
This time, it was not Murphy who took the initiative to make these messy preparations. It was Old Jed who asked him to do it. He did it under the pretext of training an ignorant apprentice who wanted to go on an adventure outside to take care of himself.
After Murphy slept in the carriage for an entire afternoon and woke up with a little strength recovered, he was immediately captured by his unscrupulous master and forced to do hard labor.
Murphy had no choice but to agree, and eventually, he returned to his daily life as a logistics member of the brave team.
Facing Murphy's sarcasm, Old Jed seemed not to hear it at all. He just laughed and said, "I never taught you that."
"Well, you did a really good job. I'll be troubling you for the next few days."
But even though Old Jed said so, he still waved his hand and called over the driver who he had previously ordered not to help: "Go out and collect some firewood and pick some wild fruits."
"Yes! Boss!"
After arranging the driver's tasks, he went straight back into the carriage to smoke.
No matter what, Old Jed is the underground lord of the entire Border Serras after all. How could he do something that would lower his status?
As for the coachman, Bray, he ran to the forest nearby and started collecting firewood as if he was familiar with the route.
This was his mission when he went to the royal capital with Murphy and Filia. Now that Filia has been replaced by Old Jed, his mission is still the same.
