Chapter 89 Private Transactions
"Oh, Kaz, you are annoying, interrupting Vera." Vera was a little reluctant and wanted to tickle Tang En.
Tang En raised his paw and gently patted Vera's little hand away: "Meow, please speak quickly, I won't interrupt."
"Hmph~, Kaz, if you interrupt me again, Vera will stop talking." Vera wrinkled her nose and puffed up her round face.
"Okay, I won't talk anymore. Listen to you, meow~" Tang En lay down and stopped moving.
"Turus is a fortress city in Bainis County, under the jurisdiction of Uncle Russell."
"This time, the runner-up from Bainis County got sick before coming to the royal capital, so Uncle Russell put in the gladiatorial champion from Toulouse as a replacement." Vera patiently explained the reason to Tang En.
Tang En nodded to express his understanding.
Vera continued: "The gladiator champion sent by Tulus City is a rare Mutu barbarian. He has a totem pattern on his body and a big bald head. He looks very scary."
"I heard from Teacher Witte that this man is a unique barbarian of the Mutu tribe, and he is at the same level as our intermediate knights of Elijah."
"Meow~, what about the ones from Hessen County?" Tang En couldn't help but interjected and asked.
Vera pursed her lips, and Tang En immediately lay down.
"The gladiator coming from Hesse County this time is actually a rare scout type. The teacher said that this gladiator is a typical assassin."
"Fast speed and sharp attack."
Seeing that Tang En stopped interrupting, Vera began to talk about this rare duel with great interest: "Both sides have applied for weapons for this gladiatorial fight, so it is another weapon fight."
"The assassin gladiator in Hesse County chose two short wooden swords, while the barbarian general chose a wooden stick."
"However, what is a little strange is that the barbarian seemed to be in a daze at first, until the assassin started to charge." Vera tilted her head, as if the scene was indeed strange.
"Assassin gladiators are very fast. In the arena, the barbarian generals simply cannot catch up with the assassins. Therefore, the assassins always take the initiative in the gladiatorial combat."
"It's really annoying if you can't hit him." Tang En thought to himself.
"However, the barbarian is very skillful with his stick and his defense is very stable."
"So all the people in the field could see was the figure of the assassin running around, and the sound of the wooden sword hitting the wooden stick when he attacked." Vera said with a look of concentration on her face, which shows that this competition was indeed very exciting.
"Meow~, then who won in the end?" Tang En couldn't help but interjected again.
"Later, the assassin won. Well, winning was strange." After saying that, Vera turned to read a book.
"Meow~, how did you win? What's weird?" Tang En stood up anxiously when he saw that Vera had stopped talking about the key points and went back to reading.
"Hmph~, Vera, don't talk anymore, you can go and see it yourself tomorrow."
"Meow~, Mao Yatou, don't be so stingy." Tang En knew that it must be him who kept interrupting, and Vera didn't like it anymore.
Tang En then lowered his face and said, "Meow~ No big deal, I'll tell you a story next time."
"Kazi, this is what you said!" Vera turned her face again, with a smile in her eyes.
Tang En knew that Vera was causing trouble, but he couldn't help it. Now that Vera was under his influence, she sometimes became very cunning, so he nodded.
"Then the bald general was beating him, and suddenly he started bleeding from all seven holes, and he fell to the ground and died."
"Then what? How did he die?" Tang En had a question mark on his head.
"I don't know, he just died like this anyway." Vera had this expression on her face, and then turned back to read her book.
"Meow~!" Tang En said with a dark look on his face.
Suddenly, Vera said something else: "I heard Teacher Witte say in a low voice, 'It's weird again'. Later I asked the teacher, but the teacher didn't say anything."
"Weird?" Tang En was a little confused, but the strange squirrel that suddenly appeared in the royal tomb flashed in his mind.
"No matter what, go to sleep!" Tang En jumped back to the den and went to sleep.
In the aristocratic district of the royal capital, Grand Duke Fermat's courtyard in the royal capital was still brightly lit and bustling.
Although the gladiator representative from Mushan County won the competition this morning by taking drugs, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Fermat, Frank Trilling, also won a large sum of money in the nobles' gladiatorial game.
In order to celebrate this event, Frank summoned many nobles to hold a dinner party at his home. However, it was already late at night and most of the guests had left.
In the study room of another courtyard, Frank, who was a little drunk, was holding a wine glass in one hand, raising his chin and looking arrogantly at Count Reis who was sitting next to him: "Reis, if you don't come back so late, what do you want to see me for?"
"Of course I have business to discuss with you, Count Frank." Facing the arrogant Frank, Reis was not angry and still held the wine glass with a smile on his face.
"What kind of business do you want to talk to me about, Les? Don't your Kanpur family make weapons and food? You have to talk to my father about that." Frank was a little impatient.
"I heard that His Excellency the Earl was somewhat interested in the wild girl from Mutu. It just so happened that last time my family's private soldiers followed His Highness Russell deep into the wilderness and gained a little bit."
"If Your Excellency the Count is interested, I can send you two educated men?" Reis leaned forward and looked at Frank with a smile.
"Oh? Are you telling the truth?" Frank's eyes lit up and his interest greatly increased.
"Of course, although our Camper family is rich, we don't dare to amuse you, Your Excellency the Earl." Reis smiled and gestured to Frank to put down the wine glass and took a sip of the wine.
"Hahaha, but what kind of business do you have with me? There shouldn't be anything good in my territory that you like, right?" Frank laughed and asked.
Reis stretched out his other hand and waved: "No, no, no, Your Excellency, you have it. Didn't your gladiator take a potion this morning?"
"That kind of thing is good for wrestling."
"Oh~, you mean that, hehe, that's true." Frank couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought about his Gladiator comeback today and winning a lot of money.
"However, since the arena is so useful, why should I sell it to you?"
"Your Excellency, your family is in Mushan County, and the Kanpur family is quite far away in Bainis County. I promise you that as long as you are willing to give me some, I will never use it in the Royal Capital or Mushan County."
"Moreover, I am willing to give you three times the price of this medicine, and I will take it as long as you have it. What do you think?" Reis's eyes flashed, and he threw out the money trick.
Although Frank is an earl, his fiefdom does not have iron mines like Baynes City, and he is used to spending money lavishly. Hearing what Reis said, he was a little moved: "Since your Excellency is so sincere..."
After a period of haggling, Count Reis left the Fermat Villa with a satisfied expression on his face and got into the carriage.
"Frank, this idiot, can't help but expose this kind of thing."
"Hehe~, but this is also an advantage for me. With this potion in hand, I will be more sure of what I want to do." Count Leith couldn't help but look at the small bottle containing three pills in his hand, with a bright expression on his face.
.
The next day, Werther still came to call very early. Tang En was not sleepy today, after all, he went to bed early yesterday.
