Rohan's spies
As Corvin waited for the time when Blackheart was accused of his coming among his own, the situation began to become more and more agitated by the winter beating at the gates of Corvin's village. Many new people enter the village and walk through markets, talking to merchants about their products. Only a few people had come to the village to gather information about Corvin, rumors that had reached Argon's ears, which were heading to the king, telling him.
- My king, we have a problem.
-What?
- They seem to be asking people about Corvin.
- Do you know who sent it, for whom it works?
- Not really. There is only one variant about the person they would work for, Rohan.
- Yes, you're right. I want you to get someone to infiltrate and find out all they can about them. And to say that he saw him a few days ago leaving the village, and in case they want to leave, have someone follow them.
- I understood. Now I'm retiring and I will send someone as soon as I find out and report back.
Argon withdrew and headed straight for his room, where he ordered one of the most trusted of the guards to follow him. The watchman after receiving the mission given to him by Aragon, went and changed into peasant clothes with which to easily infiltrate among the villagers, and to find out as much information about the individuals who asked questions about Corvin.
After half an hour, you left the castle and started walking through the village, paying close attention to the people around you. After walking for more than one hour in the village, he decided to enter Baldor's bar, where most men went to rest a little and to wet their neck with a little rum. He went into the bar and went straight to the counter, where he greeted the bartender, asking for a glass of rum. While he was waiting for the drink, a stranger sit down next to him and spoke.
- Excuse me, can I ask you something?
-What?
- Did you see a new boy around here, his eyes brown, his hair black, 1.80 feet high?
- As far as I know, if you want information, you should first introduce yourself, especially since I haven't seen you in the village.
- My name is Luc. Now that you know my name, can you answer my question?
- I saw someone a few days ago. Why you ask?
- Let's just say it's not your job. Say everything you know or I'll make you say everything. You understand?
-All right. Don't get angry like that. I can tell you about a glass of rum. By the way, I'm Tom.
-Okay.
Then Luc motioned to the bartender for two glasses of rum.
- So what do you know about that person?
- I saw him here. I thought he was crazy.He was looking for something that hasn't been around for a long time. But why are you interested?
- He's just an old friend of mine. I heard he was here and I said to see him.
- I'm sorry, but it's been a long time. If you have a message to tell him, I can send it if he gets here.
- Where do you know he goes from here? Luc asks.
- He told me he would go here one day. I didn't know he had friends, since he's crazy.
- I'm a very old friend. But what is he doing?
-I didn't quite understand, but he's looking for dragons, which we both know has been around for a long time, Tom said.
Then Luc stopped and stared at him for a long time, as he tries to get up, being stopped by Tom.
. - Where do you go so fast?
- Aaa ... I have some work to do and I have to go ... Talk to you later.
- I bet if I didn't say anything about dragons, you would have stayed and asked me more about what he is doing and where he is. So what's the matter so important?
- I don't think it's your job and as I told you, I'm an old friend. Now I have something to do, I'll see you again, Luc said.
As he exited the bar, Tom followed him from a distance, not realizing it. Luc walked quietly and headed for the village gate, where two more of his friends were waiting. Seeing this, Tom motioned to stop Luc, but to keep the other two, the two watchmen at the gate, who were quite big and powerful, being the same watchmen that Corvin first encountered. the hour when he entered the village. Tom reached the back with several soldiers in the back and ordered them to take them to the dungeon, then went straight to Argon to tell him everything he had managed to get.
- So, what did you find out about Tom?
- Not much. But I know he wanted to go get some news from Rohan and I had to stop him.
- What made you believe that?
Then Tom told him everything he had gained from him and why he made him believe it, Argon thanking him for everything and sent him to take his court clothes to return to his position. Argon walked to the dungeon, where he had taken Luc, who was sitting on a chair with his upper body undressed and his hands tied behind his back. For Argon, the questioning of an enemy was through suffering, so he interrogates Luc through pain, hitting him and causing him to bleed, only to have him say whatever he wanted to know. That lasted quite a long time, but in the end it didn't endure and gave up.
- So you're ready for confession, Luc? said Argon.
- What do you want from me?
- First of all, I would like to know who you are looking for and why?
- Well, once you brought me here, I think you know who I'm looking for, right? ... why I'm looking for him, I don't think it's your job ... and when he finishes what he had to say, Argon hits him hard. across the face.
- So I ask you again, why are you looking for him? And be careful what you say now, that I will no longer use my fist, I have other tools that I could make you suffer and believe me I don't want to get there.
- Okay. I'm telling you because I'm not coming out of here anyway, right?
-Right.
- Rohan sent me. I don't know why he really wants to know what he is doing and where he is, but he is desperate ...... besides what I heard, he talks to a wizard.
-Vrăjitor? How do you know?
- One of the servants saw him, but he died a few hours after he told me.
- Anything else you know?
-Nothing. I was just going to tell him what I found out about the boy you were protecting and it seems that I missed it.
-Yes. Watchman take the other two, too, if they still live and kill them before they escape so they can not report.
After giving his order, he headed for the throne room where he found Blackscar, telling him what he had found. Blackscar told him that he had done well in connection with those spying on the village. In connection with Corvin, he told her to send someone and be careful when approaching the gate behind the castle. Argon left and did what he was told. As soon as you leave, Argon calls Tom and sends him on a mission, asking him to pay attention to Corvin's arrival ... which is essential.
