"I know." Richelieu agreed.
Dean gestured for him to leave. Richelieu understood and went to the other side of the hall. He took out a scroll from the drawer and started to write. He picked up the scroll and handed it to Dean for a look.
Dean glanced at it. The content was roughly the same as what he had told him. There shouldn't be any secret code hidden in the text. He nodded: "Alright, get ready and leave with me."
Seeing that things had come to this, Richelieu did not say anything more. He silently walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out some items, including a fine gold-plated goose feather pen from the pen holder.
Dean looked at the scattered things he packed and pointed to one of them: "What is this black box?"
"It's the box that I used to store my knight badge when I was promoted to captain. I keep it with me as a souvenir." Richelieu said.
Dean's eyes slowly swept through every item in the bag. There was an expensive quill, extremely white paper engraved with strange patterns, a badge engraved with strange patterns, a silver nail … There were all kinds of items.
He looked at them one by one and quietly looked into Richelieu's eyes: "Do you really want to take these things away?"
Richelieu had a bitter expression on his face as he said, "In the near future, I probably won't be coming back here again. Although these things don't have any practical use, they were once my most precious possessions. For example, this little nail. Once, when I was on a mission, I fell into a trap and was framed by my comrade. This nail was shot out by him with a hidden arrow, and it pierced my chest. Luckily, it missed by just a little, or else I would have died on the spot. So all these years, I've always kept this nail by my side, as a constant reminder to myself."
Dean stared into his eyes. Richelieu also didn't avoid Dean's eyes. After a moment, Dean slowly withdrew his eyes and nodded: "Since you want to take them away, I will let you take them all."
Richelieu looked relieved and sincerely said: "Thank you!"
Dean didn't say anything more. He turned around and took Aisha's hand. They went to the window and waited for Richelieu.
Richelieu quickly tied the bag and followed Dean.
The night was dark.
Dean let Richelieu lead the way down the mountain. Under the guidance of Richelieu, the two avoided all the gaps of the guards and smoothly came to the foot of the mountain. They didn't disturb any guards along the way. The entire heavily guarded mountain was like an uninhabited place for the three of them to go in and out.
Richelieu did not take the opportunity to call for help. When Dean asked him to lead the way, he knew that it was a test given to him by Dean. But such a small test was naturally not difficult for him. He also knew that even if he alerted the guards, it would be difficult to stop Dean. Instead, he would be killed immediately.
Dudian immediately took back the right to lead the way as he led Richelieu along the remote streets. A few hours later, Dudian and Richelieu returned to the castle by the Teza River.
Sergei, Glenn, Nicholas and others were shocked when they entered the castle. They didn't expect that the figure that they could only look at from afar would appear in such a close place.
Dudian called Nicotine: "How is the plantation?"
Nicholas looked at Richelieu who was standing behind Dean. He responded: "Master, the cultivation base has returned to normal. All the workers have been appeased."
"Is there a finished product?" Dudian asked.
Nicholas said respectfully: "Yes, according to your orders, they are all stored in the warehouse."
Dudian nodded: "Go and get some."
Nicotine was a little surprised and wanted to ask, "Now?" "Yes, Young Master." After saying that, he turned around and quickly left, leading a fast horse and disappearing into the night.
Richelieu frowned as he heard Dean's words. What kind of base is it?
Dean called Neuss after Nicotine left: "Go to the 9th region and ask Hawkeye to get two sets of decomposition equipment. One set is for alchemists and the other set is for potioneers. I want the best."
Neuss hesitated for a moment: "Yes, Young Master." He had participated in the operation to suppress the dark church in the 12th region. He estimated that he wouldn't be expelled or hunted down if he returned to the 9th region.
Dudian asked Glenn to steal some materials from the market after Neuss left. He wrote a list of materials and gave it to her. Glenn's stealth ability and Black Weaver's magic mark ability were overkill for her to be a thief.
Richelieu was puzzled as he looked at the orders issued by Dean. He felt an inexplicable crisis. It seemed that the youth was preparing for something big. Moreover, it had been a long time since the beginning. Even his plantation base! The hateful thing was that he didn't pay attention to the people around the youth. He didn't pay attention to his original subordinates after he was arrested in the inner wall. He was too careless.
However, he couldn't be blamed for this. It wasn't that he didn't pay attention to Dean's subordinates for a period of time. However, Dean's subordinates were behaving very well. So he gradually relaxed his vigilance and didn't investigate further. After all, at that time, Dean had completely become a person under his control. As for his original men, they had long been insignificant characters, not worth mentioning.
But who would have thought that in just a few short months, this young man had not only broken free from his control, but had even stepped on him? If he had been more vigilant towards this young man and thoroughly investigated the people around him, perhaps he would not have ended up like he did today.
He shook his head and sighed.
Dean glanced at Richelieu: "Has Mr. Mel woken up?"
"He has woken up but still won't say anything." Sergei replied.
Dean nodded: "Did the two little girls open their mouths?"
"No. Their mouths are too hard. I separated them in front of them but they still won't open their mouths. They didn't even beg for mercy." Sergei smiled.
Dean nodded: "It means that they haven't reached their bottom line. You don't have to be tender towards them."
Sergei scratched his head: "I'm already very rough."
"I'm not talking about physical torture. Do you understand?" Dean said in a teaching tone.
Sergei immediately understood: "I know."
"Go. I want to see them beg for mercy and lose all dignity." Dean said in a cold voice.
Sergei nodded and went upstairs.
Richelieu's face slightly changed as he heard Dean's words. He didn't expect that Dean was the one who massacred the Mel family! How much blood had this young boy's hands been stained with?
His lips moved: "You have destroyed the Mel family. Why do you want to torture them?"
"Really?" Dean glanced at him.
Richelieu was startled.
"If I remember correctly, there is a young master of the Mel family called Mel. He seems to be a Knight of Light from the Holy Church. He is very young and promising. He wasn't at home on the night of the incident. Afterwards he disappeared from the Holy Church. Do you have any trace of him?" Dudian indifferently asked.
Richelieu shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to these things. But if you want to check then I'll send a letter back and I'll give you the answer."
"No." Dean said: "The giant wall is big but it's not as big as the world. It's not difficult to find a person."
