Vikings: Journey of the Juggernaut

Chapter 92: Gray line of grass snake, four years of lying on the pulse

"Qiongfu?" the old man guessed.

"Yes, Jonfu, who stabbed Bassomo in the back during the tribal meeting, felt uneasy and came to seek comfort. I got a message from him."

"what's the message?"

"This is about the Cambridge Raid." White Prophet continued, "During the Battle of Cambridge Reed Field, the Six Rayleighs were besieged by the elite Iron Guards with four times the manpower. Old Sam died in the battle, leaving behind I got a very important piece of information, which is the information I got from Jonfu.”

"When Bartholmore took Rayleigh and others to the Fern Strait for the raider baptism, was it Old Sam who revealed the whereabouts to the Blackfish tribe?" The old man had a vague guess.

"Yes, before he died, he took his last breath and told Reilly and others that he had received the captain's secret order to reveal the whereabouts of the baptism team at that time and reminded them to be careful."

Prophet Bai said with some emotion, "Later, I went to the simple-minded Jekam and confirmed the matter and learned more about it from him. The battle in the Cambridge Reed Field was very tragic. Old Sam's death at that time The last words "not to burn them later" show that he really cares about those young people and would not make up a lie."

"Then the man in black will be one of Dawn, Shurut, Victor, and Gordon." Four names crossed the old man's mind.

Old Sam is Daun's man, and he has known for a long time that what he received must be the secret order of Daun's fleet.After all, Bartholomew was a foreigner, so it was understandable that Dawn was wary of him.

"It's not the first two, it can only be the last two." The old man said again, "Rayleigh didn't die in the Battle of Prisoner Island, so the next thing is the sixth thing he experienced, the Black Fish visiting group."

The White Prophet shook his head: "I think the Black Fish visiting group has nothing to do with this. It can only be regarded as an unexpected episode. If it must be said that it is related, it only pushed Rayleigh's reputation to the peak it can reach at this age, making the black people behind the scenes People are becoming more and more urgent, and if he continues to grow like this, Rayleigh will soon be no longer matchable by him."

The hoarse voice continued: "After returning to Prisoner Island, he came to my place. At that time, I gave him a piece of parchment, which recorded the information I had investigated over the years. Among them, the most important ones were three. indivual."

"First, Thom is not the person behind the two confused people. This has been clearly understood from Thom himself, who has come to answer questions many times."

"Secondly, if the infidel attack was not an accident, then the person behind the scenes must be Gorton..."

"What's the reason?" the old man asked.

If the leader of the heretic attack was Gorton, then he was probably the one who disappeared in the Bastian farm fire two months ago.

Bai Xian replied: "Over the years, I have discovered one thing from the explanations of other soldiers on that ship at that time. Only Gorton can speak Western European languages. He studied it very carefully at the Kalich stronghold in Britain. Although I don’t know where that place is. In addition, the pagan does not know the Viking language, which has been confirmed from the mouths of those warriors.”

"A heretic and one of the murderers of Thor. He knew that he would definitely die. If he really wanted to take one person away before he died, he would have more chances on that ship. But he didn't. Instead, he arrived at the territory After that, attacking and killing him again would be too abnormal."

Bai Xian continued, "Of course, it's not completely impossible, but the chance is extremely small."

The old man understood: "So, if the pagan attack was premeditated, there is only one kind of person who can arrange this precise assassination, and that is someone who understands Western European languages."

Bai Xian replied: "Yes, it may be to threaten the pagan's family, or to threaten with physical torture, or in some other way. The key point is to be able to communicate with them."

"Then it seems that the identity of the man in black is most likely Gorton." The old man analyzed, "If the captain's secret order and the heretic attack are the same thing, it may be a coincidence. Two things cannot be such a coincidence. Where is the third important piece of information with the parchment?”

A complicated expression flashed across his vertical pupils: "Both I and Rayleigh may have mistakenly recognized one thing, that is, what we are looking for may not be one answer, but two answers."

"You mean..." the old man quickly responded, "the two confusions about the death of my brother and the attack by the heretics, you mean that they were caused by different people."

"I'm not sure either. This is the content of the third intelligence, the memories of the soldiers on the ship about the battle when Thor was seriously injured, and..."

Prophet Bai paused, "Let me talk about the memories of the soldiers first. According to one of the soldiers, during the melee at that time, Thor and Gorton were each surrounded by several enemy soldiers. He was going to Support the captain, but after Gorton shouted, "Come here and help me", he finally went to help Gorton. He waited until Gorton and Gorton finished killing the opponent before going to support the captain. At that time, Thor was already seriously injured... some other soldiers What they said is much the same.”

"It's hard to tell just from the fact that Gorton shouted, 'Here are some people, help me'. It's normal to shout such words in a melee. What else?" the old man asked.

"And some information about his sister-in-law."

Bai Xian analyzed, "Assuming that Thor's death was not an accident, then the apparent beneficiaries: One is Thom, who competed with him for the captain's position. With Thor's death, he is very likely to become the captain. But now It can be ruled out that the ultimate winner of power has become Gorton."

"The second one is Itia, who occupies the farm and becomes Bastian's parent."

Bai Xian continued, "I have also done research on her in the past few years. She is from Puffin. There are two very bad rumors about her. Many people in Puffin believe that the death of her stepmother's daughter was She was pushed into the well and her son died unexpectedly again a few years later. It was also her fault."

"Is it credible?" the old man asked.

"There is no evidence that she did it, and the suspicion cannot be ruled out. In the end, she married our fogcrow and the matter was settled."

Baibu Nei's brows furrowed slightly, "The only thing I can be sure of is that she is a person who is very good at deceiving and lying."

"With Rayleigh's wisdom, after all these years, if it was really Itia who did it, he would definitely be able to find out." The old man said.

"What if she has two faces, what if she can deceive herself." Bai Xie shook his head, "After so many years of relationship, Rayleigh has already grown up. Why don't they get married? I think in his heart Something to be afraid of." That year, Reilly was addicted to his own hallucinogenic powder, and he must have seen another side of women at that time.

Underneath the hallucinogenic powder are the truest thoughts in his heart!

"So, even you can't give this confusing answer." The old man said.

"Yes, Thor's death may have been an accident, or it may have been the hand of Gordon. The possibility of Itia is not ruled out."

Gordon has been following Thor for several years. If he really has an idea, during the countless trials over such a long period of time, for example, in every battle, he would be a little slower when helping Thor block the knife, or shout something at the critical moment... …There’s always a chance someone gets hit.

Enough to kill without leaving any evidence.

As for Itia...

"This confusion needs to be found by Rayleigh himself. It will be revealed after Daun's fleet goes to Western Europe to retrieve the wealth." A flash of expectation flashed across his vertical pupils.

It was impossible for him not to have heard the news about Bastian selling his sword during this period. This was a signal of 'murderous intent', and he was obviously ready to take action.

Through this signal, Rayleigh can see clearly how many people are likely to be on his side and how many people are likely to be neutral on that ship. He will have some confidence and anticipation of the situation, and will not act like a reckless man. Plunging headlong into an unknown hunting net.

"Give me a piece of parchment and a fine charcoal pencil." The old man suddenly said.

The two things flew over. After the old man finished writing, he put the parchment away.

"For Rayleigh?" Prophet Bai asked.

"Yeah." The old man's eyebrows flashed meaningfully, "I'm going to give it to him too, what do you think?"

"That's really surprising. Since you've already decided, no one else can change it, so why bother asking." A slight shock flashed across his vertical pupils.

"I think it's a good idea." The old man said to himself.

"Gorton, are you going to leave it to Rayleigh to solve the problem himself?" Prophet Bai asked. Due to his curiosity and eyesight, he couldn't help but take another look at the parchment written on it just now.

"Is it true? The longhouse trial of Gorton will definitely reveal that old Sam is also a collaborator. His bones are still hung on the walls of Cambridge. Let him go to the Hall of Valor in the name of the 'Mistcrow Warrior'. "

The old man stood up from the stone, "Whether it's Caisen Raleigh or the others, or Bartholomew Dawn and the others, I don't want to see such a scene. The signal Raleigh sent out in the name of selling swords is obviously also preparing to do it himself. the meaning of."

"You are not afraid of accidents. He may not be Gorton's opponent. After all, he is too young." White Prophet said again.

"If you can't deal with even a small captain, how will you face Kurag in the future? That will be the real trouble. You have to crush Gorton's behemoths who don't know how many levels." The old man took a deep breath.

If they want to arm-wrestle with the God of War Kulag, the older generation Old Wolf Head can't do it with him, and the backbone generation Daun Blood Eagle Firebird and others can't do it either. They can only place their hope on the younger generation Lei Lei. Benefit yourself.

"Yeah, but I have a question in my mind. Why does Gordon, who has such a bright future, do so many unscrupulous things?" A look of confusion flashed across his vertical pupils.

"Of course the future is brighter."

The old man walked towards the stone door: "It's hard for guys with no ambitions like you and Sparrow to think of this."

Some people are obsessed with love, some are obsessed with family, and some are obsessed with revenge, and they will all sacrifice everything for it.

Ambition and power are also enough to make some people sacrifice everything.

After Thor's death, Gordon became the youngest captain of the tribe;

If the surprise attack on Prisoner's Island develops as expected, without the three geniuses Rayleigh, Kayson, and Jackham, and Sparrow has no interest in power, then the future leadership of the Mist Crow will be very important to him. As for Gorton, who was highly valued by Dawn, no one would be able to compete with him.

There may be another Victor, but there is still a long time before he can become the leader. There is no need to rush to make a move. Waiting for the opportunity, there will always be an opportunity that is close to perfect.

There was also the fire at Bastian's farm two months ago, which tried to kill the extremely talented girl with different eyes.

Once you take the first step for your obsession, it is difficult to look back.

No matter if there is an abyss ahead, he can only go wrong.
