The next day, Aranza was woken up by Cyril on time.
The boy vigorously rubbed his head, which had been washed away by alcohol all night, and rolled out of bed. Then the corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes fell on the clothes rack in the corner of the room. This was the second time he admired this set called "Silence"
Equipment, even so, when Aranza locked his eyes on it, he still felt that it was giving it a hidden power. Like a volcano.
A flash of thought flashed through his mind, so he waved to Cyril and said, "Come, help me put on my equipment."
Their trip today is a bit special - meeting another group of people on the island. Yes, another group of people. This does not mean that there are people on the island who have been watching the melee between Aranza and the Lane family. It means that they are experienced people.
Marquis Marler Gobi seemed to know about the intersection between Aranza and Nicole Lane, and deliberately waited for Aranza to wake up to interrogate Nicole. After the interrogation, he naturally wanted to return the prisoner to the Lane family.
These unexpected guests on the island are representatives of the Lane family who arrived here through the positioning transmission array sent by the Tulip family.
As for Margrave Marler Gobi, who has been controlling the overall situation from behind, he has been hiding in his captain's cabin and desperately eating all kinds of strange food.
After putting on the equipment and carrying the Silent Blade on his back, Aranza suddenly said: "Is Feiya not recovered yet?"
Cyril shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Hearing this, Aranza was stunned for a moment, then patted Cyril on the shoulder apologetically. Unknowingly, he seemed to have a tendency to treat her as a servant.
The two left the room and walked through the long passage to the deck in a short while. At this time, several mercenaries from the Black Pearl were already escorting Nicole and waiting for Aranza.
Seeing the posture of the mercenaries, Aranza could only shrug helplessly. It seemed that the Marquis of Malle Gobi did not want to put down the food in his mouth to attend this meeting with the representatives of the Lane family. However, Aranza also understood that the Marquis
What he meant was that he asked Aranza to come forward on behalf of the Tulip family, which was undoubtedly telling the Lane family about the Tulip family's attitude towards the son of the Hero King.
Aranza felt suddenly delighted.
It was inevitable that Nicole's mental state was not very good. There were two traces of tears on her originally capable cheeks, and when Aranza looked at her, the look in her eyes was not resentment, but deathly silence.
She leaned against a mast as if she had been drained of all her strength. The mercenaries did not deliberately guard her. These experienced mercenaries seemed to have seen how Aranza "tortured" Nicole, and, look,
Such a thing would be a big blow to Nicole. At least the mercenaries would not worry about Nicole suddenly killing everyone and then running away. The way she looks now, there is no difference between living and dead.
However, this is exactly the result Aranza wants.
Aranza walked over and took a look at Nicole. The corners of her mouth curved in a slanted arc. She touched her buttocks with one hand without hesitation and said, "Let's go, your beautiful Knight Commander."
Nicole had no reaction.
Aranza then directly grabbed her waist, jumped from the deck, and landed on the beach outside the ship. The meeting place with the representatives of the Lane family was arranged in an open space in the forest, and some mercenaries were already there.
After setting up the site and being on alert, Aranza and Cyril escorted Nicole, without stopping on the beach, and followed a few mercenaries who led the way towards the forest.
In an obvious clearing in the forest, there was an unexpected long carved table. Several mercenaries and Knights of Lane wearing black spar armor were standing guard with their backs to the long table.
At this moment, one side of the long table was filled with people. They were three men and one woman, representing the line of the founding king of the Lane family, the line of mercenary kings, representatives sent by the current head of the family, Alsis, and those who were still loyal to
A supporter of the King of Heroes line who has faded out of the Lane family. Four people make up the lineup for this negotiation, but looking at the division of this force, it is definitely difficult to judge during the negotiation.
At this time, a well-dressed aristocratic man with thick white powder on his face suddenly said: "Do you know who the Tulip family sent to negotiate with us? It turned out to be the Aranza who was proposed to the family by us last year!
"
Hearing this, the woman sitting on the left side looked at the aristocratic man. He knew this aristocratic man. He was a representative sent by the Duke of Alsis. The woman had an undisguised sneer on her lips, and she didn't care at all.
Identity, cursed with two words: "Chunk!"
"What did you say?!"
The noble man immediately slapped the table and stood up, pointed at the woman and shouted: "I will inform the head of the family about your attitude just now! Let him hang you on the gallows and burn you to death! Burn to death!"
"Is this so?" The woman did not look at the aristocratic man. Instead, she fiddled with her nails as if she was bored and said, "It seems that the head of the family listens to you. He will do whatever you say."
"you--!"
The aristocratic man had originally prepared a large number of swear words, but all of them were blocked in his throat at once, and he only cursed the word "you".
The old man sitting next to the woman stood up at the right time and closed the room and said: "Don't forget the purpose of our coming here. We just need to bring Knight Commander Nicole Lane back. Whoever came to negotiate with us will not matter anymore."
Never mind..."
It is obvious that the old man's attitude is neutral, but for him, it is meaningless to speak for anyone. Instead, it feels like he is bringing trouble to himself.
But as soon as the old man finished speaking and had not spoken, the rugged man sitting at the corner of the table suddenly snorted: "What do you mean just bring Nicole Lane back? I'll keep her here to feed her.
Fish is the best!”
"Your Excellency, please watch your words!"
The aristocratic man seemed to have found a target to vent his anger on, and immediately turned the conversation to the rugged man.
Not to be outdone, this rugged man from the line of mercenary kings scolded back: "Don't think we don't know what Nicole Lane is doing here! She was found in the wild and just happened to be caught by the Tulip family?! You didn't think so!
Such an excuse! When did the Lane family have the courage to train on the territory of the Tulip family?!"
Hearing this, the noble man's expression turned cold and he said, "Your Excellency, are you questioning the words of the head of the family?"
Before the rugged man could speak, the woman twirling her nails scolded him on his behalf: "What about the head of the house?"
The aristocratic man had a sneer on his face. Just as he was about to speak, a hearty laughter suddenly interrupted him.
"Haha, well, it looks like it's very lively here!"
The visitor was wearing red armor, and the perfect curves of the equipment were like a dead and restless volcano that made people dare not look directly at him. It was Aranza.
