Chapter 340
The middle-aged man was excited but deliberately made a hesitated expression on surface: "Architect Dean this thing is illegal . . . If it passed out . . . " He didn't continue till the end so to make a room for maneuver .
Dudian narrowed his eyes as he said: "I am an architect of the Temple and I won't ever leave outside the giant wall . I was there to take care of the hunters and show them the usage of some tools . Shouldn't I be released after the medical inspection? Do you want to treat me as a hunter?"
The middle-aged man's face changed . He thought that Dudian would try to favor him more but never imagined that he would take such a tough stance and attitude . He felt a bit tricky but he smiled: "Architect Dean no need to talk so seriously . Naturally, these hunters can't be compared with you . I'll order my workers to give a clean room to you and release as soon as possible . . . You are an architect of the Temple . Your stay here is the loss of the Temple and it could be considered as a infidelity! So I will order you to be sent back after the physical examination!"
He paused and stared at Dudian: "But it will be good if your 'lightning rod' would be sold to Scott consortium . "
Dudian didn't expect that Scott consortium was behind the director . Atlhough all six consortia tried to penetrate Holy Church but Scott consortia was able to push their person as the director of the detention center . In short they were in charge of life and death of hunters . It was a great role and the man was in an influential position .
"Scott consortium and Mellon consortium have deeply penetrated into the society . It would be very hard to fight them ony by one . . . It would be very slow . . . " Dudian's eyes brightened as an idea passed through his eyes . He calmly looked at the director: "I have cooperated with Scott consortium many times and I believe that it will be very pleasant to sell the rights of 'lightning rod' to Scott consortia . What was your name?"
"Architect Dean is polite . I'm Ludwig . " The middlea-aged man was full of joy and excitement . Actually releasing Dudian was a small matter for him . Even if Dudian didn't agree to sell 'lightning rod' he was willing to release such a person with extraordinary potential . However this opporunity will bring alarming wealth to him and improve his status within the Scott consortium . It was a cheap deal!
Dudian nodded slightly as he wrote down the name: "We have a deal then . " Afterwards he sat back on the couch .
Ludwig smiled: "I will arrange you another room for the physical examination . This one is too dirty . "
"No need, I don't care much about the residence . " Dudian replied .
Ludwig looked at the boy with interest: "That being the case I will leave then . " He departed out of the cell .
After Ludwig left Nicholas looked at Dudian: "Master, are you going to take me with you?"
"You will be here for the term . " Dudian indifferently said: "There will be concerns from some forces after I go back . If we go back together then problems may arise . Be careful and try to not to talk about this matter . "
Nicholas heard his warning: "I will young master! I had made mistakes but now I'm absolutely loyal to you . I hope you can believe in me again!"
"I will look at your performance . " Dudian indifferently said .
Nicholas slightly smiled but didn't continue to talk .
After a minute two doctors came and check Dudian . They didn't inspect Nicholas but left afterwards .
The next day .
Dudian sat in the carriage while Ludwig send a team of knights of light to escort him to the nearest border fort . The main reason for sending the team of knights was the recent activities of the barbarians . He feared that Dudian would be injured and Ludwig wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility . In addition he hoped to earn goodwill of Dudian .
The Holy Church had eyes almost everywhere so they were aware the fort which had less attacks from the barbarians . There were several waves of different beast attacks along the way but they didn't encounter any barbarians .
Dudian directly went back to his castle . The carriages of wealthy businessmen tend to move to roadside to avoid blocking Dudian's carriage as the coachman saw the flag of the Holy Church .
Dudian returned back to his castle after few hours . He saw the Jin sitting in the hall: "Where are those two?"
Jin was cutting down a fruit . He was frightened to see Dudian come back so suddenly . He almost cut off his finger . He stood up in hurry: "Young master both of them are at home . Gwyneth is upstairs while Sergei is in the training field at the back . "
Dudian commanded: "Call them up . "
"Yes . " Jin turned and run .
Dudian was drinking tea when Gwyneth, Sergei and Jin came into the hall . His body lacked water so he was trying to overcome his thirst: "Sergei go and buy this things to make traps . This is the money . " He threw a stack of gold notes on the table .
"Are you planning to go outside the giant wall? Didn't you just come back? "
"Just go! Why so much nonsense?" Dudian said .
Sergei picked up the golden notes and left the hall .
"You should buy some weapons . By arrows for me and some ropes . "
Gwyneth nodded as she picked the notes and left .
Dudian looked at Jin: "Hire . . . Forget that . Buy a mammoth carriage and make sure that its ready to haul at any moment . "
Jin nodded .
Dudian turned towards Kroen who was closeby: "We will go outside the giant wall so the house will be under your care . Make sure that news doesn't leak . "
Kroen nodded . He had seen the attitude of Gwyneth and others towards Dudian . He felt familiar and unfamiliar with Dudian . The latter grow up with them in the orphanage however Dudian was able to distinguish himself in the society .
Moreover while Dudian was outside the giant wall he had chatted with Sergei, Jin and others . He deliberately talked about going outside the giant wall with them . But he had heard Sergei and Jin talk about the dangerous monsters outside the giant wall . He understood that Dudian who was similar to him in age had gone through many life and death battles to achieve today's status .
"One more . " Dudian handed him the cup .
Kroen took the cup and filled it .
Dudian gently tapped the table with his fingers as he delved into thoughts .
A few hours later .
Jin came back with the mammoth carriage and stopped by the river outside the giant wall .
Dudian saw Jin jumping off the mammoth beast: "What about coachman?"
Jin smiled: "Originally coachman was included in the price of the carriage but I thought that young master needs such a carriage to carry some secret things . If the coachman had big mouth then it would spread to ears of other consortia . It took long time for me to learn how to control this beast so I came back a bit late . "
