"This is Daniel's original work! It is said that one piece is worth at least six thousand quintana!"
"Korea silk! The curtains here are actually woven from Kolia silk, and they also have a bit of Parsu style. I'm afraid they are made by a master from the East!"
"Porcelain! This is carved porcelain from the Far East! This is incredible! I've seen it with my father at an auction in the royal capital before. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it if it doesn't cost ten thousand quintana!"
"Rich! So rich! It deserves to be the top VIP room of the Castel Mercenary Association! It's so rich! This level of luxury is almost as good as ours before!"
In the VIP room of the Mercenary Association, the vampire girl Agnes looked left and right, touching various luxurious furniture and decorations, her eyes shining.
However, her excitement and excitement made the middle-aged knight's eyes twitch:
"Miss, please... be careful. The things here can easily cost thousands of gold. If you accidentally break it, we can't afford to pay for it now."
"Harm! I know! I will be more careful! Besides, when we sell the castle, we can make a lot of money. I have calculated it. Although the corner castle is a bit remote, it can still be done anyway.
Sell it for hundreds of thousands of quintana! We will also be rich by then!"
Agnes said excitedly.
However, after listening to the girl's words, the middle-aged knight hesitated:
"Miss... I always feel a little uneasy about the clients mentioned by the Mercenary Association."
"Do you think it's such a coincidence? We came to entrust the castle to be auctioned, and someone from the Mercenary Association on the other side wanted to buy it, and they also wanted to meet us?"
Seeing the worried look on her knight's face, Agnes's heart moved slightly:
"you mean……"
"Miss……"
Rahel's expression became solemn:
"You also said that the Pointe Castle can be auctioned for hundreds of thousands of quintana at least. This is by no means a small amount. Someone who can easily come up with such a large sum of money, even in the wealthy Cass
Ter, I’m afraid there are only a handful of them.”
"This is Beigang, the capital of Castel. Being regarded as a VIP customer by the Mercenary Association, and also interested in acquiring castles and territories, who can come up with so much money at once, could it be..."
Agnes raised her eyelids:
"Are you worried that we might run into the little Earl of Castres?"
Rahel hesitated and nodded.
Agnes jumped up immediately:
"Hush! Don't say such unlucky words!"
"But...it's better to be cautious. Count Castel is too evil. Even you can't suppress the Necronomicon, but she can be obedient. She is definitely not that simple..."
The middle-aged knight reminded.
Agnes pursed her lips and said:
"I know that there must be a secret about her. It may be that she is really like the legend. She is a saint of the Holy Royal Court, a favored person walking on the earth. She may have some powers that are unknown to mortals."
"However, don't worry too much. I quietly investigated yesterday. She should be at the Castel Silver Mine now. I heard that there is a big problem in the Castel Mine."
"Hey, it seems that the Castel Silver Mine is also a place that those guys are eyeing. It must be related to those guys. It will keep her busy for a while."
The girl was gloating.
As she spoke, she touched her chin again:
"Of course, what you said makes sense. There are not many donors who can spend so much money. Maybe we know her. We really have to be careful. Even if we meet, we have to hide our appearance."
"I have already told the front desk not to reveal our true identities. We are still registered mercenaries. The Mercenary Association still has this principle."
After finishing speaking, Agnes groped around in her arms, took out two masks, put one of them on, and threw the other one to the middle-aged knight Rahel:
"Here, put on the mask! When the transaction is completed, we will completely change this shabby outfit. No one will be able to find us by then!"
After thinking about it, she still felt uneasy, so she went to the window and opened it, leaving a path for her to escape at any time.
Taking the mask from the girl, Rahel also put it on his face.
Just looking at his rusty armor, he couldn't help but mutter:
"I hope it really isn't her..."
"Don't say bad words! Change your mindset! Now we are mysterious vampire mercenaries!"
Agnes stared and said.
While the master and servant were talking, the receptionist who led them to the VIP conversation hall also left and returned:
"Dear lady, distinguished gentleman, the client who wants to see you two has arrived."
After saying that, the lady at the front desk turned sideways and respectfully moved out of the way.
Agnes and Lahire suddenly became very energetic.
The next second, they saw two familiar figures, one short and one tall, walking in, accompanied by Layton, the branch president of the Mercenary Association.
A blonde girl in a black and white Gothic aristocratic dress, and an elegant elf butler in a black tuxedo.
If not Charlotte and Sebastian, who are they?
The smile of the vampire girl Agnes froze almost instantly, and Rahel almost subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.
At the same time, Charlotte and Sebastian were slightly stunned when they saw the two people wearing masks. But soon, their expressions became a little weird.
Charlotte's eyes paused on Agnes's washed white aristocratic dress and Rahel's still tattered knight armor, smiled slightly, and said:
"Miss Agnès, Mr. Rahel, the world is really small, we meet again."
Agnes suddenly froze completely.
She swallowed, subconsciously adjusted the mask on her face, then laughed dryly and said under her breath:
"Um...this beautiful lady, did you two recognize the wrong person?"
Charlotte looked at her with a half-smile:
"Miss Agnes, before you change your clothes, you should also change your clothes. The sleeves that were torn when you escaped last time have not been repaired yet."
Agnes:……
Sebastian's eyes also fell on the breastplate sword mark that he personally left on Rahel's chest, and asked with a smile:
"Sir Rahel, does the wound still hurt?"
Rahel:……
Seeing the two people who were instantly facing a formidable enemy, as well as the earl's master and servant who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Leiden, the branch president of the Mercenary Association, was slightly startled:
"Lord Charlotte, do you... know each other?"
"Know? Of course we do. After all, more than half a month ago, these two mercenary friends gave me a big gift and almost used the undead army to leave my Castel's convoy in the Violet Forest."
Charlotte said with a smile.
After hearing her words, President Leiden's expression suddenly changed.
To this day, the news that Count Castells was attacked on his way to his territory has already spread along with the caravans traveling with him.
Although it is a rule for mercenaries to take money to do things, there are some things that cannot be put on the table after all.
Attacking nobles is taboo in the Sacred Code no matter where you look at it.
Not to mention, this matter may also involve the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom.
Noticing President Layton's expression, Charlotte knew that the branch president probably didn't know what Agnes and Rahel were doing either.
"Rahiel! Withdraw!"
The vampire girl Agnes shouted.
Without hesitation, she turned around and ran away. Like an agile mountain rabbit, she jumped out of the window of the VIP guest room.
The middle-aged knight La Hire also acted very quickly.
He picked up the priceless carved porcelain at hand and threw it towards Charlotte and the others.
Charlotte turned slightly to avoid the attack of the porcelain. President Layton's expression changed, and he rushed forward to catch the porcelain that was about to fall to the ground. He was relieved when he found that it was not broken.
Taking advantage of this gap, Rahel had followed Agnes and jumped out of the window to escape.
"Sebas, catch up."
Charlotte ordered.
"As you command!"
Sebastian jumped out of the window and chased after him.
Charlotte did not chase after him, but looked at President Layton who was protecting the carved porcelain with a half-smile.
Being looked at by Charlotte's seemingly meaningful gaze, President Layton felt guilty for a while. He gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered to the front desk lady:
"Send someone to catch up quickly! Help Mr. Sebas stop them!"
After giving the order, he carefully put the porcelain back to its place, and then apologized to Charlotte:
"Lord Earl...I'm sorry, we don't know what they did to you, and they used necromancy..."
"They probably used a private contract. Our Mercenary Association can only supervise the general process of this kind of contract, but we don't know the specific details."
Charlotte nodded slightly, but did not respond. Instead, she continued to look at the other person with half-smiling eyes.
She knew a little bit about mercenaries. There were so many registered mercenaries in the North, and no one could understand all the mission contracts.
Not to mention that tasks such as "intercepting and killing nobles" have always been a gray area in the mercenary world. Even if you sign a mercenary contract, it is probably the kind of secret contract whose details are not made public as President Leiden said.
However, you know, you still have to express your dissatisfaction.
After all, Agnes and Rahel are registered mercenaries of the Northland Mercenary Association. In the final analysis, non-public gray contracts such as private contracts are indeed a gray area under the supervision of the Mercenary Association itself.
Faced with Charlotte's half-smiling expression, President Layton suddenly felt extremely stressed.
The Mercenary Association's information was relatively smooth, and he knew what the newly appointed young earl had been doing in Silver City in the past few days.
To be able to regain control of the Castel Silver Mine so quickly, the little earl in front of him should not be underestimated.
Although the Mercenary Association is a pan-continental organization and does not include the nobles of various kingdoms, the headquarters is the headquarters and the branches are branches. The principle of strong dragons not overpowering local snakes is the same everywhere.
And...he really doesn't want to get involved in the political struggle of the Crescent Kingdom.
Thinking of this, President Layton said decisively:
"Your Majesty the Earl...it was our fault this time, and our Mercenary Association will definitely give you an explanation!"
Charlotte nodded slightly, sat down naturally in the room, then picked up the parchment on the table and read it.
And when she saw it, her mood suddenly became strange.
This parchment is none other than the title deed of the Pointed Castle, certified by the Holy Royal Court. It seems to date back to the great development period of the Crescent Kingdom.
Agnes ran very fast, but the land deed was left behind.
And at this time, Sebastian also left and returned, but... he came back alone.
"Lost?"
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
Sebastian's expression was a little ugly:
"They got into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was suspected that they used teleportation magic again, but... they fought with me several times before they escaped. That Lahire must have been severely injured by me again."
"It doesn't matter, the monks who can escape can't escape from the temple. This time they even forgot to take away their family property."
Charlotte handed the parchment to Sebastian, and after Sebastian took it and took a look, his expression became strange:
"Holy land deed? Are they completely abandoning their home? Without this thing, they will have no legal rights. The territory supervision of the Crescent Kingdom is handled by the Holy Royal Court."
"Haha, it depends on whether they dare to go back now."
Charlotte chuckled.
After saying that, she turned around, smiled slightly, and said to President Layton:
"President Leiden, Agnes and Rahel attacked the nobles of the kingdom, and I accepted their land deeds. Is there no problem?"
President Leiden bit the bullet and said:
"No... no problem! Attacking the nobles of the kingdom is a felony. As the lord of Castel, you... have the right to take back their land in Castel."
After saying that, he patted his thigh again and said:
"I will make arrangements right now to ban those two people's mercenary qualifications, issue a wanted order, and put a high reward on them..."
"Yes, but...we need to decide the content of the reward."
Charlotte said.
"Of course, everything is as you wish. Once you decide, just let us know and we will definitely cooperate."
President Layton said respectfully.
"There's no need to rush to offer a reward. I'll wait until I finish hosting the banquet in Beigang in two days."
Charlotte closed her eyes and felt for a while, then suddenly spoke.
"Banquet... banquet?"
President Leiden was stunned, wondering what the wanted order had to do with the banquet at the Earl's Mansion.
But Charlotte did not continue to explain.
Upon seeing this, President Layton stopped asking questions, and after apologizing repeatedly, respectfully sent Charlotte out.
"Master, do you need to send a message to Baron Angus of the Valais family? The Pointe Castle is very close to there. If you order them to send troops now, they may be able to catch up with the two vampires."
"Although I let them run away again, Baron Angus should be able to deal with Lahire after he took my sword."
Sebastian asked respectfully.
"No, no need, let's turn around and go to the outer area of the island."
Charlotte shook her head.
"Outside the island? What do you want to do?"
Sebastian was stunned.
Charlotte raised her lips slightly:
"Of course I'm going to catch the little mouse."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and felt it, and chuckled:
"This time, they didn't teleport too far and are still in the city."
