Chapter 911
"I've heard the general outline of the matter from the knights of Crusch. But..."
Saying that, Anastasia glanced at Emilia, then moved her eyes to Noel, and then she continued to speak.
"I would like to listen to the person concerned to say it again in detail. I don't want anyone to intervene during the narration, because this will affect my final decision. Is it okay?"
"Worried about us colluding to deceive you?"
"It's hard to say, isn't it?"
"Although we really didn't lie to you, I know you won't believe it...well, I have no objection."
In the middle of speaking, Crusch thought about it carefully, if Anastasia didn't believe it, it would be useless to say more, so he didn't want to talk more nonsense, and directly agreed to her proposal.
Without saying anything, Emilia nodded and agreed.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Noel knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage, so he got straight to the point and started talking.
He carefully explained the contents of the negotiation with Crusch from the beginning to the end.
Of course, I also said that because Crusch felt that he was short of manpower, he brought up the matter of Anastasia's joining the team. Anyway, he didn't hide anything from her.
The pendulum appeared on the tea table again, allowing Anastasia and Russell to pick it up and watch, explaining the use of the pendulum by the way.
During the narration, Anastasia and Russell also raised some questions respectively, and Noel also answered them slowly.
Said and said, asked and asked.
Nuoer took a sip of tea to quench his thirst, and did not disturb the two of them thinking again.
Both of them were thinking with their jaws up, considering the benefits they could get from it.
Both of them knew clearly that whether the white whale would have no definite evidence, this matter was completely gambling in nature.
If you win the bet, you will gain both fame and fortune.
If the bet is lost, some labor costs and shipping costs will be wasted, and there is not much loss.
After thinking about it, Russell first opened his mouth to break the silence.
"I personally agree to join the gang, and I will bear the weapons and shipping costs. I want to buy this pendulum afterwards."
"I also agree to join the group. My mercenary group will join the crusade, but the corpse of the white whale belongs to my side. This is my only condition."
Anastasia stretched out her right hand and raised her index finger, proposing her only condition for joining the gang.
"I don't have any objection to Anastasia's condition, Miss Crusch doesn't need it either?"

Chapter 70 My Mount

"I just need to transport the white whale back to the capital for public display."
"Okay, as long as the body of the white whale can be obtained, it's fine to be late."
Crusch only used the carcass of the white whale to show the public. In the end, the ownership of the carcass of the beluga was still his own, and Anastasia didn't care about the time.
Anastasia's problem solved, now only Russell's little problem remains.
"Mr. Russell, let me explain in advance that no one can use the pendulum except me. If you still want this pendulum, I can give it to you afterwards."
"It's a pity that it can't be used, but this pendulum is so delicate, it's also very good for collection."
"Okay, I will send the pendulum to you afterwards."
"Then I will thank you in advance, Mr. Noel."
With a slight bow, Russell expressed his thanks in advance.
Next, Anastasia and Russell learned of the time for the operation, and they knew that the preparation time given to them was very, very tight, so they didn't stay at Duke Karsten's house any longer.
Walking out of the gate of Duke Karsten's house, the two merchants, Anastasia and Russell, just as they announced, quickly ordered their men to collect all weapons and props, and told them to prepare all the weapons and props before tomorrow night, and then delivered them all Come here to assemble.
Under the orders of these two people, a large number of people under them began to run around the capital, frantically collecting weapons and props.
A large number of collectors were dispatched, and they could be seen in the streets and alleys of the capital. These people knocked on the doors of closed shops, waking up the sleeping shopkeepers one by one.
It is a very unpleasant thing to be woken up while sleeping, and those shopkeepers are certainly no exception.
However, after hearing that the collectors needed a big purchase, the little bit of unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and the collectors were warmly entertained.
To put it simply, because of the orders given by Anastasia and Russell, the quiet nighttime capital became very lively.
Since it was late and there was nothing to discuss, Emilia, Ram, and Rem went to the arranged guest room to rest.
At this time, Noel was leaning on a big tree pole outside the mansion, watching people and objects frequently coming in and out of the villa.
"Aren't you busy?"
"Philip is a medical staff, and the medical supplies have already been prepared, so there is nothing to do meow."
"Are these people Miss Crusch's subordinates?"
"Not all of them, only some are under Crusch-sama's subordinates, and the other part are newly recruited people."
"Have those new recruits been tested?"
"Yes...wait! You mean...one of the new recruits has a problem!"
Realizing the meaning of Noel's words, Phyllis suddenly turned her head to look at those busy people.
It's a pity that he observed everyone carefully, but he didn't find anything wrong, let alone where the problem occurred.
"Just asking casually, you don't need to make such a fuss, I'll go back and rest first."
Noel shrugged with a smile, turned and walked towards the mansion.
Seeing Noel's back gradually disappearing until he entered the mansion and disappeared from her sight, Phyllis shifted her gaze to the busy people again.
"Really just asking casually? No, I have to report this to Lord Crusch."
After finishing speaking, she observed the busy people again, but unfortunately she still didn't find anything, so Felice gave up on continuing to observe, and quickly left the place to report to Crusch.
After hearing Felice's report, Crusch didn't take any action, and everything went on as usual.
So everything went according to plan and nothing changed.
