Chapter 440 Departure
When it was time to set off, Nancy led a small team to Cliff City, and Olivia also brought some people, including Richard.

"Let's go." Nancy greeted from a distance, and then turned her horse's head, waiting for Olivia to catch up and walk side by side with her.

"Let's go and see how the trebuchet is doing." Olivia said to Nancy.

"Good!" Nancy had no objection.

The territory of the Hansmo family is not far from Cliff City, otherwise it would not be selected as the first target. It only takes less than two hours to ride a horse, and soon saw the territory of the Hansmo family. The city gate, but they did not enter the city, but went to the lake outside the city.

This lake also belongs to the Hansmo family. Although no one is guarding it, the Hansmo family said that anyone who is close to the lake will be regarded as an enemy and will attack indiscriminately. Ordinary civilians dare not approach easily.

Next to the lake is a dense forest. This dense forest does not belong to the Hansmo family. Even if someone enters the Hansmo family, they can’t control it. That is to say, as long as they don’t step on the lake, the Hansmo family will not drive them away.

It was sent by Olivia, and the people in the manor are in this dense forest.

Along the marks, they found the person.

Researchers on the estate are cutting down trees to make trebuchets.

"Father," Olivia called, "You have worked hard, take a rest."

Blake turned back when he heard the voice: "Olly, you are here."

The trebuchet is a product that has been researched, and Black actually looks like a normal person when he is not in the state of research, not as slovenly as Black when he was addicted to research.

When Olivia went to the manor to transfer people, she actually didn't order Black. This time, it was Black who volunteered.

To be honest, Olivia was shocked. Black is not like the kind of person who will ask for action by himself. For him, the world is the biggest research, but Olivia still agreed to Black's request and let him come. .

In front of the elders, Nancy was still polite: "Can I see how the trebuchet is doing?"

"Okay." Black made a gesture of letting go.

Olivia and Black walked to the side of the carriage to talk.

"The parts are actually already done," Black said, "Fortunately, you have assigned me a man. It is convenient to have a magician. They save a lot of effort in cutting down trees than us."

"I look at these trees, the wood is not very good, how many times can it support throwing?" Olivia asked.

Black has already calculated: "Hundreds of times should be fine, anyway, the things you ask to throw are not too heavy."

The trebuchet was just a cover to cover Nancy's landing on the island.

"We may have to act tonight." After all, this is a lightning operation, the sooner the better, Olivia looked at the faint sky light in the sky, "Can we make it in time?"

"Of course," Black nodded, "I can cooperate with you at any time."

"Thank you." Olivia nodded and said to Nancy, "We should go."

Olivia and Nancy's group entered the city, but were stopped by the soldiers at the gate. Olivia showed Fred's warrant: "I am the next Viscount Cliff. His Royal Highness ordered to meet Earl Hansmore."

The soldiers guarding the city gate will have some rights of transmission. By the time they arrive at Hansmore's house, Earl Hansmore and his family have already stood up and waited for Olivia and Nancy.

Earl Hansmore is over 70 years old. He has gray hair but is hale and hearty. It can be seen that he lives very comfortably.

Can you feel comfortable? Although the Hansmo family has a territory, they have no real power. In other words, they don't have to take care of things. They only have fun and don't worry about it. Who doesn't envy such a life?

But at the same time, the lack of real power also means that when the royal family wants to do something to them, they can resist quite limited.

"Miss Nancy and Miss Olivia are here, and they are really full of glory," Earl Hansmore greeted them with a smile on his face, "Please go inside."

Olivia gave Nancy a little humility. After all, Nancy was taller than her in terms of status.

Nancy strode directly to Hansmo's house without seeing anything.

I don't know who cursed in a low voice: "Female bandit."

Nancy heard it, and so did Olivia, but they turned a deaf ear.

Because, they came to be bandits this time, so they accepted such a veritable title.

After entering the reception room, Nancy took the main seat without hesitation.

In fact, in terms of status, none of the people present could pass her, but under normal circumstances, the guests will let the host sit in the main seat, unless it is His Majesty the king, even Fred, in order to show humility, he will choose to let her Take the lead.

Nancy is doing this now, obviously because she doesn't intend to be polite, that is, she doesn't intend to give them face.

Olivia sat down next to Nancy. She looked up at the people who were still standing, and smiled with her lips curled up: "You're welcome, everyone sit down."

Her anti-customer attitude made people really itch.

Earl Hansmore held his breath more calmly than others. He could see that the comer was not good, but he could only cover it up.

He raised his hand: "Let everyone else go out, I'll chat with you two."

Nancy laughed loudly: "Why bother, it's not a big deal, it doesn't matter if your children and grandchildren stay and listen."

But Earl Hansmore insisted: "No need, they are not qualified to stay yet."

"You've already said that, so of course we do as you please." Olivia sang, although she said "as you please", she and Nancy didn't even have the intention to stand up.

polite?That also depends on the occasion.

"I don't know you two, what's the matter this time?" Earl Hansmore chose to test.

Olivia said lazily: "Don't you know why we came?"

This is a technique of speaking. If you don't say the purpose, let the other party guess. People with a guilty conscience will naturally feel flustered and short of breath subconsciously.

But Earl Hansmore has lived for so many years after all, and this little trick can't shake him: "Sorry, I really don't know."

"Really?" Olivia said with a smile, "Since you don't even know our reason for coming, you must not know about those things."

They played charades, each pretending to be more stupid than the other, just not to understand what they said.

Earl Hansmore knew very well that as long as the words were not clear, Olivia would not be able to use the facts to convict him.

But Olivia stood up at this moment, with a smile on her face: "Since you don't know, then your heir must have done it without telling you, so we will help you clean up the house and prevent you from being dragged down by unscrupulous descendants." Go into the water."

Olivia gave Nancy a wink.

Nancy nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me, it's just a few arrests, it's easy."

Before Earl Hansmore could say anything, Nancy strode out.
