Four hundred and sixtieth chapters meet nephew and uncle
"Hey~ Isn't this my cute nephew? Long time no see!"
When Cecil appeared in the mission hall of the Eighth Knights, he saw Conrad at a glance and frivolously went over to say hello.
Conrad did not expect to meet his uncle here. He pondered with a stern face whether this was a coincidence or if the other party did it deliberately and remained silent. An old man had already walked over from the work area.
"How come the Vice-Captain has time to come to our place? I wonder if he has any tasks to entrust."
"Haha, I happened to have a mission that I wanted to release, so I came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the elder of the Labor Forest personally greeted me."
The two were obviously acquaintances, so they complimented each other in the hall, causing everyone in the hall to look askance. Elder Morisato and the others all knew him. He was the elder of the Eighth Knights, an elder who was responsible for publishing tasks to the outside world and reviewing the evaluations of personnel.
As a member of the Cavaliers all year round
The people in the regiment are also familiar with the situation of the Eighth Knights. The Eighth Knights have two deputy captains, but they are definitely not this person. So they are all guessing which knights are the deputy captains.
, could he be a member of the mysterious Seven Holy Knights?
"I just heard that you seem to have met someone you know?" Senri glanced at Conrad as he spoke.
"Yes! I heard that my eldest brother's outstanding son came here, and I came here specially to have a look. I didn't expect that he was actually here."
"Eldest brother's son? Javier?" Senri has been managing this place as an elder for a long time. He knows a lot. Thinking of Cecil's origin and surname, he immediately thought of a person, "Conrad?"
Didn’t he go back to inherit the title? Why did he come back again?”
It was hard for him not to have an impression of this person. When he first appeared, he was a very talented young man, and his abilities were equally outstanding. He was impeccable in terms of his origin and strength. He also reported this matter to the senior management. It was a pity.
After a period of observation, I came to the conclusion that Conrad, who was still a young master at the time, had a personality suitable only for being a young man.
A nobleman was not qualified to join the Holy Knights at all. He regretted for a while that his ability was really suitable for the Knights, but it was a pity that his character needed to be polished for a while. After a few years, he just showed some improvement, and finally
He went back to inherit the title. Unexpectedly, he came back today. He didn't notice it just now.
But he looked at Cecil again. If he remembered correctly, the person in front of him was the one who wrote the review for Conrad at that time. He had read it at the time and it was quite pertinent. So what do you want to do here now?
?
He asked softly with some hesitation: "Then do you want to give him some good tasks?"
Cecil refused without hesitation: "No. The Knights have their own rules, and no one can break the rules. He can take on any task he wants, as long as he is qualified. Even if he has accumulated the corresponding status and submitted an application,
It is also for the Holy Knights to investigate, so there is no need to take special care of him."
Mori nodded clearly. It seemed that Cecil could still distinguish between public and private affairs. But even if he wanted to show favoritism, it was impossible. The seven major knights would have to come for the assessment, at least three of them, and it seemed that the deputy commander
The elder also has rivals who are sophisticated and know a lot about these people's secrets, which is why he doesn't accept the topic of releasing tasks.
At that time, he was wondering whether the deputy captain wanted to help his nephew and specially came here to post a mission. Cecil was the deputy commander of the Modesty Holy Knights. If he had a mission, he would ask anyone in his knights to do so.
The knight can just finish it, there is no need to come here. Now that he knows it is not for Conrad, he feels relieved. ap.
As for why he came to the Eighth Knights to issue a mission, it was not his turn to take care of the secrets contained therein.
"Okay, then I'll arrange for people to register for the mission. I still have things to be busy with."
"No problem, please go ahead and do your work first, Elder Senri."
Keeping a smile on his face, Cecil cursed in his heart: He was indeed the old fox. After confirming that he had other plans, he accepted the task of issuing it himself. But it didn't matter, he had other deep intentions for this task.
He walked up to Conrad and said, "Long time no see, Conrad! No, I'm going to call you Earl now."
Just now, Cecil and Mori spoke very softly and used special means to prevent outsiders from hearing. However, Kang
Ladd also guessed what they were talking about through their actions, and it must be related to him, about taking care of himself. His good uncle must not have said good things about him.
He responded indifferently: "I wonder why uncle came to see me?"
"Nothing special, just to see if you are dead." Cecil's tone was frivolous, but his meaning was very cold.
Conrad still remembered that the client of the assassination mission was here, and the first target of suspicion was the man in front of him. There was also this unpunchable smile on his face, so if he punched him, he would not look good on him.
"Thanks to uncle, it's not that easy to die."
Glancing at the mission book in his hand, Cecil said: "It seems that you have received your first mission after returning, so I wish you good luck with your mission."
Without waiting for an answer, Cecil left because a staff member had already arrived. Conrad was left standing here, wanting to crush the assignment book in his hand. It was the butler on the side who reminded him that he regained his senses.
He walked out of the hall without saying a word, gritting his teeth and vowing to make these people who despised him pay the price.
The newlywed group in the mansion continued to discuss.
"Brothers like Conrad naturally look down on the merits brought by fighting. Arrogant people like them, in addition to their own strength, pay more attention to maintaining connections. This is the City of Seven Hills, this is the Holy See State, can
The discipline required when meeting big people is countless times greater than in other places," Zavali said.
Seeing the surprised looks in other people's eyes, Zawali curled his lips and said, "I am also a noble after all."
Only then did everyone remember his identity. He was a vampire and a symbol of nobility. It was only natural that Zavali could see the checkpoints clearly. This man was paranoid and murderous. He was a psychopath, but not a fool. Then he turned his attention to Lucian.
, I would like to hear your opinion.
So Liang Zhen said hesitantly: "There are often some escort missions here, and they are some visiting big shots, or some valuables, attracting big shots to appreciate."
That's right, after basically confirming the employer's ideas, they will know the preparations later.
This is the difference between family-born children and wild children like them. The Javier family only obeys Conrad's orders. The only ones with the ability to think independently are the housekeeper and the guard captain. For the sake of survival, they, those who live in the underground world,
If you want to live, you have to be forced to think. Formulate policies for the next actions and determine your own position.
When Conrad returned to the mansion and summoned his men to announce the mission they had taken on, the newlyweds looked at each other and realized that it was the same pursuit mission as they had discussed at the time.
A group of thieves appeared in the city. They were so elusive that even the police were helpless against them. This was also because the families who were robbed were ordinary people with no power and power, so their efficiency was naturally low. One of the victims of the theft was a supernatural person.
I found a very valuable item and saw that the police did nothing, so I went to find it myself. Unexpectedly, there were also supernatural beings among these thieves, so I suffered a big loss. I reported the matter to the Eighth Knights, who evaluated the task level.
, the arrest mission was released in the mission hall.
Different from the loose spiritual side of the East, the church and knights of the Holy See are equivalent to the police stations of the supernatural side in other continents. This is also a means to gain the favor of most supernaturals and protect the divine bishops to maintain their dominance. The vast majority of people
All the cruelty and cruelty are given to ordinary people. Among the supernatural side, the weak make up the majority.
"Okay, this is a brand new attempt. Which of you will volunteer to go to the site with us?"
The subordinates who originally belonged to the Javier family were a little eager to try, but the new team was a little silent, just silently giving Conrad a cross for his performance. As a leader, not knowing the abilities of his subordinates and being unable to allocate manpower reasonably is a sign of dereliction of duty. This
This is not the time to mobilize the enthusiasm of your subordinates.
Feeling the hidden gaze falling on him, Liang Zhen shook his head slightly. He said that he had no information and that he would not participate in the on-site investigation. The feeling of gaze disappeared immediately.
The newcomers were not surprised. They all guessed Liang Zhen's choice because it was the same as theirs. Conrad's eyes swept over them, but he just sat firmly on his chair without any expression.
.This made Conrad, who was expecting them to take the initiative to invite him, so angry that he asked
These people came here to help, but now they are all dumbfounded.
The reasons for the seven people's choice are basically the same. After all, they have just arrived in a strange new environment. If possible, it is more important to familiarize themselves with the environment first. This is not a task of one or two days, but a task that needs to be carried out locally for a long time.
.
Although Liang Zhen has a lot of experience when it comes to seeing things in a new place, neither Marvin nor Lucian's information range is outside the City of Seven Hills. Strictly speaking, they have no local information resources. However, they can find information locally.
He was very skilled at the matter, and Marvin had another channel he could try, which was the person who contacted him to issue the assassination mission. He had investigated before and found that he was not an employer, but an intermediary like Marvin.
If you contact him, you may be able to get some paid help.
However, if you contact them rashly, there will be no connection. If you follow the clues, your covert actions will become a joke.
Just as he was thinking about it, Conrad had already identified the people following him with an expressionless face, not even bothering to look at the newcomers.
After everyone left, Liang Zhen stood up and said, "I have to go out and have some things to deal with."
"They are going to collect information, so they can't be idle." The other six members of the rookie group thought this way.
