Ahem, well, now only Border Town is important, added Barov in his heart. Although Roland had promised him that he wanted to fight for the throne, there was still a long way to go. Barov didn’t know when it happened, but today he actually contended the 4th Prince as a true candidate for the throne. Compared with the past it was the difference between heaven and sky, previous he had thought that such an ignorant and dandy character could never become the king.
But since he came to Border Town, he got one surprise after another. Up to now, Border Town was still able to survive by only relying on the militia. The fact that they were still able to hold was really praiseworthy. Don’t even mention all the strange stuff he invented, the fact that he could handle all these people is totally unlike the 4th Prince. He seems more like the Devil who knows everything.
At this time, he heard a thunderous sound at his door, making him stop his work and answer, “Come in.”
The door was opened by one of his favorite disciples, “Filler” Yarrow.
“Respected teacher, we have caught another “mouse.” “
“Oh? Did you already question him?”
“He said that Timothy sent him. During the body search, we found cement powder, some coins and a letter on him.” Yarrow walked up and handed Barov the leather-wrapped envelope, “As for the other information, we are still interrogating him. Teacher, how to deal… “
“Just like the previous times, write down all the answers into the book and then hang the convicted spy.” Ordered Barov.
“Yes,” Yarrow saluted and said, “This disciple will leave now.”
When the door was closed again, Barov didn’t continue to work. Instead, he went back to his table, and opened the sealed parchment with his letter opener, taking out the letter.
The fourth … he thought.
Long before the Months of the Demons had started, Roland Wimbledon had summoned him and discussed this matter.
His Royal Highness believed that when the cement powder, the new snow powder and the witches were revealed, his siblings’ hidden spies would be unable to bear to not let their master know about it, which would be the best time to eliminate the mice. Thinking about it, Barov had to agree with the first part of his statement, but not the second part. In his view, Border Town had more than two thousand residents, which made it impossible to control everyone. They just didn’t have the manpower, and the people they had weren’t trained for it.
However, His Highness seemed to not see his points and said, “Why should we need so many people? Every person within Border Town will be our eyes.”
Barov couldn’t believe that the Prince believed his own words and let this ignorant, stupid and ordinary monitor for everyone to find the mouse? That’s just impossible!
But the people showed him that he was wrong.
When Roland ordered the first census after the beginning of the winter, he gave special orders to the people who had lived for five years or longer within Border Town: Surely Longsong Stronghold had tried to drive Border Town into bankruptcy after their attempt to burn the food, but they had not given up yet. Instead, their spies sent should still be lurking around. Most of them should be disguised as relatives of townspeople or merchants who were too late to evacuate, always on the lookout for an oportunitiy to harm Border Town. So if anyone saw a suspicious character, they should immediately report them to the City Hall. Once it was verified, they would receive a reward of 25 silver royals.
The results of this move showed that it was extraordinarily effective.
Naturally, in the beginning, they received some false positives, but it was not long before they found the first mouse and thus arrested them.
Barov remembered that Roland said this awkward sentence proudly.
What did he say again? He thought for a moment, yes … “Let the enemy sink into the bottomless sea of fighting against commoners.”
This sentence had a really strange syntax; the assistant minister shook his head and spread the letter within his hands.
The person named “Groundhog” repeatedly stressed that various phenomena showed that the 4th Prince, Roland Wimbledon, had been replaced by the devil, and Barov could clearly read his fear between the lines. When Barov thought about how the Prince used several people, he actually could not help but feel a glimmer of recognition. He took a deep breath, and then he held the letter above the candle, the former of which soon caught fire and turned into ashes.
Since he didn’t fear the God’s Stone of Retaliation, he couldn’t be controlled by the devil, right?
