Chapter 187 37 Oh, We Meet Again
Chapter 187 -37- Yo, we meet again
"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 used to see it with my father at an auction in the royal capital. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it if it doesn't have 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 can almost catch up with our family 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 it gets damaged accidentally, we can't afford to pay for it now."
"Harm! I know! I'll be more careful! Besides, when we sell the castle, we can make a lot of money. I've done the math. Although the corner of the Cape 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 felt a slight movement in her heart:
"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. He can be regarded as a VIP customer by the Mercenary Association, and he is also interested in acquiring castles and territories. He 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 the Necronomicon, which you can't suppress, is still obedient to her. 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, or it may be true that she is a saint of the Holy Royal Court, a favored person walking on the earth, and 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."
"Hehe, 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 gloated.
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 cover 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 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 tattered 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 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 mentality! Now we are mysterious vampire mercenaries!"
Agnes glared 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 front desk lady turned sideways and respectfully moved out of the way.
Agnes and Raheel suddenly became very energetic.
And 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 deacon 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, seeing the two people wearing masks, Charlotte and Sebastian were also slightly stunned. But soon, their expressions became a little strange.
Charlotte's eyes paused on Agnes's washed-out noble dress and La Haile's still tattered knight armor, smiled slightly, and said:
"Miss Agnes, Mr. La Haile, the world is really small, we meet again."
Agnes was completely frozen.
She swallowed her saliva, subconsciously adjusted the mask on her face, and then laughed dryly, and said in a low voice:
"Uh... this beautiful lady, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Charlotte looked at her with a smile:
"Miss Agnes, before changing your clothes, you should also change your clothes. The sleeve hem that was torn when you escaped last time has not been repaired."
Agnes: ...
Sebastian's eyes also fell on the sword scar on La Haile's chest that he left on his chest, and smiled. Asked with narrowed eyes:
"Sir Lahail, does your wound still hurt?"
Lahail:...
Seeing the two people who were instantly facing a great enemy, and the earl and his servant who seemed to be smiling, the branch president of the Mercenary Association, Leighton, was slightly stunned:
"Lord Charlotte, do you... know each other?"
"Know each other? Of course I know each other. After all, more than half a month ago, these two mercenary friends gave me a great gift and almost used the Undead Army to keep my Castel's caravan in the Violet Forest."
Charlotte said with a smile.
After hearing her words, President Leighton's face suddenly changed.
To this day, the fact that Count Castel was attacked on the way to the territory has long been spread with the spread of the caravan.
Although it is a rule for mercenaries to do things for money, some things cannot be put on the table after all.
Attacking nobles, no matter how you look at it, is a taboo in the "Sacred Code".
Not to mention, this matter is likely to involve the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom.
Noticing President Leiden's expression, Charlotte knew that this branch president probably didn't know what Agnes and Lahail had done.
"Lahail! Retreat!"
The blood girl Agnes shouted.
Without hesitation, she turned around and fled, like an agile mountain rabbit, jumping out of the window of the VIP room.
The middle-aged knight Lahail also acted quickly.
He picked up the priceless carved porcelain at hand and threw it at Charlotte and others.
Charlotte slightly turned sideways and avoided the attack of the porcelain. President Leiden's expression changed, and he rushed over and caught 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, Lahail had already followed Agnes and jumped out of the window to escape.
"Sebastian, chase after him."
Charlotte ordered.
"Yes!"
Sebastian jumped out of the window and chased after him.
Charlotte did not chase after them, but looked at President Leighton who was protecting the carved porcelain with a smile.
Being looked at by Charlotte's meaningful eyes, President Leighton felt guilty. He gritted his teeth, turned around and ordered the receptionist:
"Send someone to chase them! Help Mr. Sebastian to stop them!"
After giving the order, he carefully put the porcelain back to its original place, and then said to Charlotte with an apology:
"My Lord Earl... I'm sorry, we didn't know that they were the ones who attacked you, and they used necromancy..."
"They should have used a private contract. For this kind of contract, our Mercenary Association can only supervise the general process, but not the specific details."
Charlotte nodded slightly, but did not respond, but continued to look at the other party with a smile.
She knew a little 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 like "killing nobles" have always been a gray area in the mercenary world. Even if a mercenary contract is signed, it is probably a secret contract with details not disclosed as President Leighton said.
However, knowing is knowing, dissatisfaction still needs to be expressed.
Agnes and La Haile are registered mercenaries of the Northern Mercenary Association after all. Private contracts are gray contracts that are not disclosed. After all, they are indeed a gray area of supervision by the Mercenary Association itself.
Facing Charlotte's half-smile, President Leighton suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
The information of the Mercenary Association is still smooth. He knows what the newly appointed young earl has done in the Silver City in the past few days.
The young earl in front of him can take back control of the Castel Silver Mine so quickly.
Although the Mercenary Association is a pan-continental organization and is not inferior to the nobles of various kingdoms, the headquarters is the headquarters and the branches are the branches. The principle that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake 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 Leiden said decisively:
"Mr. Earl... This time it is our fault. Our Mercenary Association will definitely give you an explanation!"
Charlotte nodded slightly, sat down in the room naturally, and then picked up the parchment on the table and read it.
When she saw it, her mood suddenly became strange.
This parchment was nothing else, but the title deed of the Pointed Castle, which was certified by the Holy Royal Court. It seemed that it dated back to the great development period of the Crescent Kingdom.
Agnès ran fast, but she left the title deed behind.
At this time, Sebastian also came back, but... he came back alone.
"Lost?"
Charlotte raised her eyebrows.
Sebastian's expression was a little ugly:
"They got into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It seems that they used teleportation magic again, but... they fought with me a few times before they escaped. That Lahaier should have been severely injured by me again."
"It doesn't matter. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. This time they even forgot to take their family property with them."
Charlotte handed the parchment scroll to Sebastian, and after Sebastian took it and took a look, his expression became strange:
"Holy deed? Do they completely want a home? Without this thing, they will lose their legal rights. The territory supervision of the Crescent Kingdom is done by the Holy Royal Court."
"Haha, it depends on whether they dare to go back now."
Charlotte chuckled.
After that, she turned around, smiled slightly, and said to President Leiden:
"President Leiden, Agnes and Lahaier attacked the kingdom's nobles, and I accepted their land deeds. Is that okay?"
President Leiden said with a stiff face:
"No... no problem! Attacking the kingdom's nobles is a serious crime. As the lord of Castel, you... have the right to take back their land in Castel."
After that, he patted his thigh again and said:
"I will arrange it now, abolish the mercenary qualifications of those two people, and at the same time issue a wanted order and offer a high reward for them..."
"Yes, but... the content of the reward needs to be determined by us."
Charlotte said.
"Of course, everything is as you wish. After you decide, just inform us and we will cooperate."
President Leiden said respectfully.
"Don't rush to offer a reward. Wait until I finish the banquet in Beigang in two days."
Charlotte closed her eyes and felt for a while, and suddenly spoke.
"Banquet... Banquet?"
President Leiden was stunned, not knowing what the wanted order had to do with the banquet at the Earl's Mansion.
But Charlotte did not continue to explain.
Seeing this, President Leiden stopped asking questions, but apologized repeatedly and sent Charlotte out respectfully.
"Master, do you need to send a message to Baron Angus of the Valais family? The Pointed Castle is very close to there. If they are ordered to send troops now, they may be able to catch up with the two vampires."
"Although they ran away again, La Haier took a blow from my sword, and Baron Angus should be able to deal with it."
Sebastian asked respectfully.
"No, no, let's turn around and go to the outer area of the island."
Charlotte shook her head.
"Outer area of the island? What are you going to do?"
Sebastian was stunned.
Charlotte raised the corner of her mouth slightly:
"Of course, I'm going to catch the little mouse."
After that, she closed her eyes and sensed it, and chuckled:
"This time, they didn't teleport too far, they are still in the city."
