Chapter 1298 Queen
Without knowing it, he assassinated the nobleman. This was a way to end the problem, but it was the last resort.
No matter how you say it, a big noble is still in charge of a territory. Once he is assassinated, his descendants will probably fight for power.
After all, Zephyr Continent is a concession system.
Once this area becomes chaotic, it will most likely affect the development of the new heroic guild. At that time, I will have to slow down the pace of the guild's development.
Now, the war is coming. Although we don’t know when it will break out, once it breaks out, we must have enough power to fight it.
In view of this, I must gather all the power that can be gathered during this period, grasp all the rights that can be grasped, and face the coming troubled times.
It may take days to look for clues, but it only takes a few hours to investigate them.
Just after nightfall, Boss Ren handed me another document.
Open the file and read each page carefully. It contains detailed information about everyone related to the lending organization.
"It turns out it's these three nobles." I sneered.
At that banquet, the fat boss seemed to have casually introduced some nobles to me, including three of them.
Two are middle aristocrats and one is a minor aristocrat.
Looking through the personal records related to the three nobles in the data, it was found that these three nobles had backstage, one of them had some relationship with Swift, and the remaining two were entangled with the Lord of Balan City.
Putting down the information, I asked Boss Ren, "If it were you, who would you treat first?"
Boss Ren thought for a moment and said, "I will start with the Lord of Balan City."
"reason?"
"The Lord of Balan City is not acquainted with you, and he is a big noble who is in charge of the entire city of Balan. If you are able to convince him, the remaining big nobles who have a slight friendship with you will also be a favor and help us. plans to fuel the flames.”
"What if I go to Swift first?" I asked.
"It's hard to say," Boss Ren said: "Swift may be frightened by the pressure of the Iron Wolf Guild and has no choice but to help you, but secretly he may do something and become a stumbling block to our plan."
"Well, okay, let's start with the Lord of Balan City."
Early the next morning, I brought gifts to the palace of the Lord of Balan City.
As a result, he was rejected.
The reason is that the lord of Balan City is entertaining the orc king and is unavailable.
It’s really weird, the big nobles are all the same, and they are turned away time and time again!
I'm so helpless!
It's right to think about it. The nobles have so many things to do, how can they have time to receive common people like me.
I had no choice but to give the gift to the guard in front of the door.
"Sorry, we can't take your things," one of the guards said.
"Yes, even if you bribe us, we can't let him go," another guard said.
"It's not a bribe." I sighed slightly: "Since I can't see the Lord of the City, I will treat these things as my heartfelt gifts and give them to you."
"But, is this okay?" The guard was a little embarrassed: "These are luxuries that we can't even afford."
"It doesn't matter, just accept it," I said disappointedly: "You have a good attitude toward me, and I also have a good impression of you, so just think of it as a consolation gift to you."
"this"
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said: "Well, let's do this. Although the city lord does not allow outsiders to disturb him, it is still okay if you just walk in the garden. This way, you can do business easily when you go back."
"Is it okay?" I couldn't help but said happily: "You won't be punished?"
"It should be possible" the guard said.
"That's good for you." I quickly thanked him.
"This." Another guard was a little reluctant and handed the gift back to me and said, "If you meet the city lord, maybe you can still use it."
"No need," I said, "Since I gave it to you, it belongs to you. As for the city lord, haha, I can only blame him for not being so lucky."
After hearing my somewhat presumptuous but confused words, the two guards were a little surprised, but they didn't care.
After all, no matter who is rejected, he will have some temper.
What's more, someone like me is so generous.
Things, sometimes, are just so coincidental.
When I was touring the garden of the mansion, I saw several ladies walking towards me. Judging from their expressions and movements, I guess they were also visiting the garden.
The guard stopped and whispered to me: "The queen and the city lord's wife are over there. When they come in, you should follow my example, stand still, salute, and don't do anything unnecessary. This is for your own good."
I nodded and said, "I understand."
Afterwards, when we were still more than ten meters away from the queen and the city lord's wife, the guard and I stood at attention and lowered our heads.
When the queen and the city lord's wife walked up to us, we both packed our luggage in a uniform and standard manner.
However, I think my bald head may be more outstanding, otherwise, why would the queen stop in front of me and stop moving forward.
"Raise your head." A very soft but unmistakable voice sounded.
I turned my head and took a look at the guard. I found that the guard was dripping with cold sweat and his body was like sieve chaff.
"The Queen said, raise your head!" Beside him, the city lord's wife shouted.
Her tone was very rude, as if she was scolding a servant.
"Tch" I was very unhappy and straightened up.
"The queen told you to raise your head, but not to straighten your body!" the city lord's wife shouted again. The guard behind her had already shown her weapon, but had not yet unsheathed it.
Beside me, the guard stretched out his hand and pulled me.
I ignored his kindness and the scolding of the city lord's wife. Instead, I smiled, greeted the Queen, and said, "Hello, Your Majesty the Queen."
The queen smiled gracefully and said: "I said, why does it feel familiar? It turns out to be you."
"You, do you know each other?" The city lord's wife looked confused.
She is well-informed, and the Queen still smiled and was not angry when she was responded to in such a rude way, not only because of her mother's magnanimity, but also because she knew the young man in front of her.
The queen ignored the city lord's wife's surprise and looked directly at me, saying, "I went to watch the games you participated in before. They were very exciting."
"Hehe" I said with an embarrassed look on my face, "Your Majesty the Queen is laughing."
"My husband wanted to call you before, but I stopped him. I think the reason why you didn't come to see us is because you don't have time. If you had time, you would take the initiative to come to see us. I said that, right? ?”
She still smiled, but there was a hint of blame in her words.
Huh?
Why do I always feel that something is wrong with the Queen’s words?
It's as if I have to go and see the Beastman King and her when I come here. Why!
I was very puzzled, but I didn't dare to be rude, so I scratched my head and said, "You're right, I'm here to pay homage to you and the Beastman King."
Hey, I keep scratching my head and my scalp hurts.
