Chapter 85 Diary of Moving Bricks in Dragon Cave
Ian fell into silence. He could not find the truth based on these clues alone.
If he could be given Bonn's body, or let him go to the scene to check it out in person, he would definitely be able to find more clues, but it is obviously impossible to do both of these things.
The current situation can barely be regarded as one in which the enemy is in darkness and we are in darkness. If Ian asks someone to ask for Bonn's body from the golden robe or goes to inspect the scene in person, once these actions are discovered by the mysterious player, Ian will come to light.
Compared to that outcome, Ian would rather let the other party kill his people in Flea Bottom, and look for his own treasure in the Dragon's Den, instead of having a head-on confrontation with the other party for the time being.
After seeing off the two couriers, Ian did not personally participate in the work of cleaning up the collapsed boulders as he did during the day. Instead, he found a corner alone and thought about what happened in Flea Bottom.
If the murder of 'Bait' Bonn were singled out, the most suspicious person would undoubtedly be the landlord.
Although his mercenaries saw a huge wound caused by an ax on Bonn's chest, since Ian did not get the body, the wound might not actually be a fatal wound.
If the old landlord managed to poison Bonn, lay his body flat on the ground, and then hold the logging ax high with both hands and slash with all his strength, with the blessing of gravitational potential energy, he could completely achieve the chopping effect caused by a strong man in battle.
But unfortunately, Bonn's death is not an isolated case.
Since there have been several cases in recent days where people with the player's initial characteristics have been killed, the only one who can take action is the player.
Ian knows that it is normal for players to have the combat power to instantly kill an ordinary mercenary at this point in time, because for those players who have very rich combat experience in their previous lives, a slight increase in the page value can give them Strength brings a qualitative leap.
But Ian couldn't understand how the other party managed to avoid his three groups of mercenaries who were staring at Bonn's yard from different directions, successfully sneaked into the yard, killed Bonn, and then escaped unscathed.
Could it be that the other party knew the locations of my three groups of people in advance? Ian suddenly thought.
If this is the case, it is indeed easy for him to find a way to avoid the surveillance sight of these people.
For example, before infiltrating, ask your accomplices to make some big move to attract attention nearby, and then sneak in while the mercenaries' attention is attracted.
Anyway, it only takes a moment to get over the wall. There are many ways to do this.
But if the other party really saw through the actions of the 'Erotic Jokes' team, he should know that Bonn was just a 'bait'.
Normally, he should find a way to hide himself and find an opportunity to catch all the 'Naughty Duanzi' team in one fell swoop, instead of killing the 'bait' sown by the 'Naughty Duanzi' so as to arouse the enemy.
In Ian's opinion, a guy who can cast a net in Flea Bottom and successfully kill so many players without being seen by anyone should not do such a 'depressing' behavior, so the other party did not find out that he was 'evil'. Duanzi's team is more likely to just treat Bonn as a lone player.
But in that case, the 'Naughty Duanzi' team couldn't find the other party's traces despite their calculations, so the other party's ability was a bit astonishing.
I just hope that the group of players who just came from Pentos can touch the 'net' in Flea Bottom, so that I can have a chance to profit, Ian couldn't help but think.
Time came on the fourth day after Ian entered the dragon's lair.
After a day of hard work yesterday, although Ian and the others could not even clean out a basement, they had gradually mastered the skills and their operation efficiency today was much higher.
It was not until the afternoon of that day that they finally successfully cleared the first basement, but unfortunately, they did not find a tunnel inside.
Seeing that the progress was so slow, Ian didn't care to keep the secret from the sailors on Shayala's Dance. Before dusk that day, he summoned all the sailors waiting on the riverside into the dragon's lair.
In order to let the sailors do this unfortunate hard work together, Ian paid them 50 gold dragons in cash as a deposit in advance.
In this way, time came to the sixth day when Ian entered the dragon's lair.
In the past two days, several more players have died, and the number of remaining players has reached 64.
In the past two days, two more suspected players entered King's Landing from the ship from Pentos. In order to monitor these three groups at the same time, Sir Grantham, who was in charge of the port, had to reduce the surveillance of the earliest group to stay in Silent Sister Street. Player manpower.
But it's a pity that the two new players soon had troubles.
One of them discovered the man sent by Grantham to follow him and successfully got rid of him, while the other was killed that night in exactly the same way as the 'bait' Bonn who was killed by Ian before. .
According to the mercenary sent by Grantson to follow him, he didn't see anyone entering the house rented by that guy at all.
Faced with this situation, Ian completely gave up his thoughts on competing with the opponent for control of Flea Bottom before the results came out in Dragon's Den. Under Ian's order, the entire "Naughty Jokes" team began to cease and no more new stories were revealed. The bait is just waiting in place.
In addition, as for the origin of the "Stranger's Curse", the people under "Xun Duanzi" have not yet found out the reason.
This made Ian feel even more anxious. After thinking about it for the past two days, he had found out why he was so sensitive to the word 'stranger'.
Because Stranger is the god who represents death, he also fits the two system clues of [death] and [holy].
Although this was probably just his own overthinking, Ian sent Bronn to Flea Bottom to investigate the matter.
Anyway, his safety in the dragon's lair is guaranteed, and he wants to see if this 'number one tool man in the world of ice and fire' can bring any surprises to him.
In short, in the past few days, all the bad news has come from outside the Dragon's Den, and it's not much better inside the Dragon's Den.
Ian and others are basically progressing to one basement a day in the dragon's lair. As of today, they have cleared the third one, but they still cannot find the entrance to the basement that Ian guessed.
As there are fewer and fewer [Temple Crypts] left, Ian's heart becomes heavier and heavier. If his guess is wrong, then the time he wastes in the dragon's lair will make him lose all the opportunities.
On the afternoon of the eighth day after arriving at Dragon's Lair, as the penultimate basement was cleared, Ian eagerly stepped into it, preparing to personally search for the location of the tunnel as he had done with every previous basement.
However, at this moment, the sentry on duty outside the dragon's lair ran in and reported that Bronn was back and had captured someone.
This made Ian a little confused. He didn't know what Bronn had done, so he could only temporarily put aside the inspection of the basement and go out to see the situation.
