Chapter 54 Local Leader Wilder (Part 2)
"So I did a test afterwards," Ian replied with a smile.
"test?"
"As I said before, the Blackfire Treasure is no secret in this generation, but so far neither the Iron Throne nor any big family has sent anyone here. Why?"
"Forehead"
"This is because the existence of the Black Fire Treasure is still just a guess. No one has found any definite clues or evidence to convince the big shots to believe this ridiculous thing. Likewise, I don't have any in my hands.
So what I said before about reporting it to the Lannister family should be more of a joke in your eyes. Even if I really find people, they will probably come for a while and go back after finding nothing.
In the face of my threat, you should simply ignore it. If you just don't want to cause trouble, then at most you can offer me a comfort price.
But your reaction was just the opposite. You offered a high price of 20%, which shows that you are very eager to reach an agreement.
In other words, you're very worried about the Lannisters sending someone. This can only mean one thing. You have found the key clue, and you don't want anyone to cause trouble at this time. "
monster! Wilder and Willy looked at each other. Willy was obviously standing in the hall of his home, but he felt inexplicably a little restrained.
"This in turn explains why you told me that the operation was over after hearing my last name. You didn't want anyone from the Lannister family to participate in your operation. You were afraid that I would report it to the family after I got the key clues. , thus allowing you to achieve nothing." Ian continued,
"So even though you agreed to let me join the alliance at this moment, you have no intention of letting me participate in the next actions. You just want to stabilize me first. As for my share."
"Your share will definitely be given to you, Sir Lucian. No matter what we say, we dare not play tricks on the Lannister family on this issue." Wilder quickly explained to the young knight who was only as big as his grandson. I found that I was inexplicably afraid of the other person at this moment.
"But I can't accept this plan," Ian shook his head. "You ask me to do nothing but get 20% of the dividend. No, this is blackmail. This is not my style of doing things. I must Get involved in your actions.”
In the original book, Sir Willy Ward was still poor when Catelyn kidnapped Tyrion, which means you never found the Blackfire Treasure at all! If I don’t take part in the action, why would I get a piece of shit? Ian added in his mind.
"This" Sir Wilder hesitated. If he agreed, he was worried about 'Sir Lucien' revealing the key clues. If he refused, he would be worried about angering the other party.
"At the same time," Ian continued without waiting for Sir Wilder's reply, "I don't want you to regard me as an uninvited guest who comes to disrupt the situation, but as a true collaborator.
I swear on the honor of the Lannister family that I will never report the Blackfire Treasure to the family, otherwise the judgment of the Heavenly Father will come to the Lannister family. "
"You don't have to do this at all." Seeing 'Sir Lucien' swearing so seriously, Wilder finally dispelled the last doubts in his heart, but he still said polite words.
"The most important thing about cooperation is unity. I must dispel your doubts so that our alliance can go further." Ian showed a frank smile.
"You really don't look like a person of your age." Wilder couldn't help but sigh.
Guessed correctly, but no prize, "What should I look like at my age?"
"Greedy and reckless, of course, I'm not talking about you."
"Okay, let's hurry up and get down to business. Otherwise, let's start with your action?"
"Okay, let's start with this operation." Although Ian asked in a questioning tone, Sir Wilder instinctively followed his advice, "You were right before you said that, we did have a very important discovery. We have discovered an important stronghold of the Ghosts of Whitewall City."
"Another ghost camp? Is it the gate to the seven hells?" Ian made a joke.
"Oh, it's not their camp." Sir Wilder directly ignored the second half of Ian's sentence. "In fact, we only found the other side's camp once during the initial joint operation, and it was an empty camp." Wilder laughed sarcastically.
"Only found it once in the whole process?" Ian smelled something unusual. "Can you tell me in detail?"
'Adopted son' Dorian also mentioned this matter before, but at that time Dorian provided a lot of information at once, so that Ian ignored this detail. Now that he thought about it carefully, this 'only time' was discovered. There might be something unusual about the campground.
"Ah?" Wilder wondered, "Why do you care about this issue?" Shouldn't what normal people should be concerned about is the stronghold we discovered this time?
"Curious," Ian casually found an excuse. "After all, you have been fighting each other for so long, but you only discovered their temporary camp once. This makes me have a lot of doubts."
"This" Wilder didn't want to waste this time, but 'Sir Lucien''s attitude seemed to be very determined. After hesitating for a few seconds, he chose to compromise.
He didn't know why, when facing the young Lannister knight, he was instinctively unwilling to oppose his opinion.
This is a true leader's temperament, but it's a pity that he is probably just a side branch. If Lord Tywin can have such a grandson, he probably won't need to worry about his two sons, one of whom joined the Kingsguard and the other of whom is a dwarf. Bar? Wilder thought to himself.
"Okay Sir, let me think about the temporary camp at that time."
"First of all, how did you confirm that the camp belonged to the ghosts of White Wall City?" Wilder didn't say anything after recalling it for a long time, so Ian simply took the initiative to ask.
"At that time, the patrol team in Taman Village reported to us that they had discovered a group of bandit cavalry operating north of their village. We immediately sent a light horse team to rush there, and then discovered this abandoned camp in the woods north of the village."
"Is there any evidence in there related to Blackfire or the ghost of White Wall City?" Ian asked.
"No, but the camp was very large. There were traces of cooking for 50 people. Apart from us and the ghosts of White Wall City, there are no armed forces of this size nearby. In addition, the confession of the patrol captain of Taman Village ——He saw a horse team entering the woods after looting the caravan, so we concluded that it was the temporary camp of the ghosts of White Wall City."
"Besides the traces of the camp, are there any other harvests inside? For example, there are living supplies left behind or the goods they robbed from the caravan."
"No." Sir Wilder shook his head.
