Chapter 235 Two Bowls of Noodles for only One?

Storm Bay, Bastion Base.

On the second day after arriving in Xen'drick, Nia finally met Joanna.

With just one glance, Nia felt relieved about this outstanding noble girl.

Because she determined that she was not the type that Carl liked.

Although she herself did not know what kind of person Carl liked, she just had such a feeling.

"Hello, Senior Nia!"

In the Bastion Hall, Joanna greeted Nia with a little trepidation.

She had learned from Moore's class about Nia's identity, another girlfriend of Carl.

But what Joanna cared more about was Nia's reputation that had gradually grown in the School of Change.

Even their teachers in Kolan Castle would mention Nia's new discoveries in the field of alchemy during class.

"Well, hello, Miss Joanna, thank you for helping to deal with those government affairs. If you need any help, please tell me directly."

After returning the greeting to Joanna, Nia led Joanna to sit on the sofa, and then talked about the government affairs of Storm Bay.

Nia was actually a person who didn't want to get involved in government affairs, so she had no intention of taking power from Joanna.

However, considering that Storm Bay was now nominally owned by Carl, she naturally had to care about it.

Unexpectedly, Joanna was really rude. After hearing what Nia said, she immediately told her about the current hidden dangers in Storm Bay.

Most of these were minor problems, but there was one that could not be delayed.

"Senior Nia, I heard that there were many young people of unlanded nobles on the cruise ship you took. Do you know anything about them?"

As a noble without a fiefdom, Joanna really understood what these "colleagues" were thinking.

She had just sent away a nominal elder, and now she was not afraid of meeting these peers.

But as the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will win every battle. She was willing to learn about some of her peers and get closer to Nia.

But before Nia could speak, Lisanna had already started talking about these things.

"Those guys are so rude! They laughed at us when they heard that we don't have a title!

Don't let me meet them on the street! Otherwise, I'll let them know why the flowers are so red!"

It is undeniable that there are indeed many sensible ladies in the world.

But it is also undeniable that women's comparison mentality and their means of belittling others are also widely present.

As one of the few civilians in the cruise ship, it is not surprising that Nia and her friends were excluded.

After all, it is difficult to attack the three of them just from their looks.

"Indeed! If it weren't for the fact that it would be difficult to deal with it later, I would want to tear the mouths of those bitches apart and throw them into the sea!"

Next to Lisanna, Mitris, who was fiddling with a mantis knife, echoed.

As a person who lost her relatives at a very young age and grew up in the Sons of Winter, she had no good feelings for these guys who had little real ability and no self-knowledge.

Especially after she heard them secretly talking about herself, Nia, and Lisanna.

Wiping the slight sweat on her forehead, Joanna forced a smile in the murderous aura of Mitris.

Although she knew that the other party was not targeting her, the murderous intent that seemed to be real made her feel as if she was back in the wilds of Xen'drick, facing those violent monsters.

After sorting out the words, Joanna said very seriously:

"What I am most worried about now is that those nobles are trying to seize power in Storm Bay. Although the situation in Storm Bay seems to have stabilized now, there are hidden dangers when any regime is just established.

The adventurers have just overthrown the rule of the Storm Council. As long as someone incites them a little, it is hard to guarantee that they will not rebel again."

Joanna had told Carl about this before he went on the adventure, but Carl did not say anything about it.

Even if it was the Mooreban or the Dragon Mark Family, they could not massacre so many nobles who caused the rebellion.

"Hmph! You are too kind, little girl. They are bullying you because you have too high a bottom line.

Don't forget where this is. It's not too difficult to find a group of drow elves to assassinate those guys!"

Almost the next second after Joanna finished expressing those concerns, Mitress gave her solution.

If she can't solve the problem, can't she solve the person who created the problem?

Anyway, this place is far away from the emperor. Can those nobles really find someone to investigate?

If they really have this level of influence, how could they still be just nobles without fiefdoms!

Joanna opened her mouth and was speechless for a while.

Of course, she understood the hidden meaning of Mitress's words.

But it's okay for Mitress to do this. If she does this, she won't be able to return to the throne for the rest of her life.

The assassins hired by those nobles can fill her family's manor.

"Hmm~, Mitris! Why do you always like fighting and killing? Have you forgotten what Karl taught you? You have to convince others with reason!"

Standing up from the sofa, Lisanna pinched her waist, raised her head, and looked like "I have a way".

However, Joanna felt that this senior sister, who was actually older than her but looked more innocent than her, was unreliable.

While Joanna was muttering to herself, she saw Lisanna raise her hands, and her arms, which were slightly tanned, began to gesture randomly in the air.

"Killing is still too direct! Let's kill the heart! Whoever participated in the rebellion will be stripped naked and hung in the most conspicuous place in the town! Put a whip dipped in salt water next to him, and pay two copper coins for each whip, which can also generate income for the town!"

After hearing this, Joanna looked at Lisanna in shock.

For the first time in her life, she knew that the people in the Eluden Wilderness were so fierce!

"I, I will consider it. That~, I have been out for a long time, and there are still things to deal with at the Government Affairs Office, so I will leave first!"

With a little embarrassment and enlightenment, Joanna left the bastion.

Although Lisanna's idea was a bit rough, she felt that this punishment was indeed the best way to solve the ambitions of those young nobles.

Those people valued their face more than anything else.

If the punishment was too embarrassing, it should deter most people.

Just thinking about this, Joanna just rode the magic motorcycle to the outside of the Kolan Castle, and heard chaotic and noisy sounds coming from the castle.

Frowning, she immediately had a bad premonition.

"What happened!"

With the power that she had gradually trained these days, she walked into the castle with a dragon-like step and saw a group of people arguing with her cousin Kasha and other Kolan Castle students.

"Hey! Isn't this Joanna? Your people bought food and materials from me, but it was obviously two carts of goods, but you only paid for one cart of goods. Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

In the castle, a young noble who looked a little dusty looked at Joanna with a sinister smile on his face.

Joanna immediately recognized the other party's origin, a "fellow countryman" who was also a noble of the Throne Castle.

Beside him, some adventurers who looked sturdy and strong were dressed as laborers. When the young noble finished speaking, they accused the students of Kolan Castle again.

"Do you think your plan is perfect? ​​Next time before you start trouble, find out the process of purchasing materials! Kasha! Show the invoice and purchase order to the person in charge!"

Looking expressionlessly at the young noble who had once proposed marriage to her family, Joanna's chest was filled with countless anger.

The young noble man opposite suddenly changed his face after hearing what Joanna said.

Although he didn't know what an invoice was, since this thing was mentioned together with the purchase order, it was naturally a corresponding evidence.

Before he could say something, Joanna interrupted him again.

"Next time you think about these conspiracies, think about it, Your Excellency the Viscount!"

After saying that, Joanna didn't give the young noble man a chance to speak, and walked straight into the house.

The adventurers disguised as laborers wanted to take action, but a dwarf walked out of the house.

"Ouch! It's over? Since it's over, then pay the fine.

According to the regulations issued by Lord Carl Iris, Lord of Storm Bay, false accusers will be punished according to the corresponding false accusations. You need to pay a fine equal to the value of those goods and be whipped fifty times in the market district as punishment."

Joanna, who was walking into the house, was stunned when she heard this. She really didn't know when Carl made the law.

"You, you can't! I'm a viscount! I have immunity!"

Originally, when he heard about the fine, the noble young man still looked calm. He was not short of money, otherwise he couldn't hire these adventurers to make trouble with him.

This was offending the local government agencies.

But when he heard that he would be whipped in public, he immediately panicked.

"Hey, friend! You use the title of Throne Castle to exempt yourself from the laws of Storm Bay? Do your parents know?

Otherwise, after you are punished, go back and ask them, they broke the law in the Kingdom of Brooke, can their titles help them get away with it?"

Without waiting for the young man to say anything, the dwarf chanted a spell and cast a phantom force on the noble young man.

The pupils of the noble young man shrank instantly, as if he saw something that frightened him.

After a while, he woke up from the illusion and sat down on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

The two students of Kolan Castle came forward happily, escorted the noble young man out.

The adventurers hired by the noble young man looked at each other, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and no one knew where they ran to.

They had originally thought that the noble young man was generous and confident, and that he could really use some ingenious trick to cheat the government office, and then step on the people in the government office to get promoted, but they didn't expect...

"Hey! Don't let these accomplices run away! Don't run! I'll remember you!"

Seeing that the adventurers were about to run, Kasha immediately chased after them.

He was not good at speaking, and he was almost about to commit suicide to apologize to the world after being squeezed by the noble young man and these guys.
