Chapter 11: A new teammate has joined the team

"So what's next? Do you have any plans? Claire. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing that the two sides had reached an agreement, Evan immediately asked.

"During my wanderings, I knew of several tunnels leading to the outside of the city, the most hidden of which was an abandoned underground ditch in the slums, but to be honest, I don't think a pampered guy like you would like the environment. ”

Hearing this, Vivien Leigh immediately showed a look of disgust. The so-called underground culvert is actually the place where the town discharges all kinds of sewage, and it is conceivable that it is not a pleasant environment.

Charlotte found this very interesting. The world of Steeu is obviously only a medieval civilization world, but the design and construction of underground ditches is very atmospheric, at least much more reliable than the urban sewage system that clogs after a rainstorm in his previous life. When I think about it, there is magic in this world that is in some ways more convenient than technology, and I don't think it's too surprising.

However, no matter how annoying the underground ditch is, it is nothing compared to his precious life.

"No problem, no matter how bad the environment is, I think we will try to endure it for our precious lives. ”

Hearing Charlotte's answer, Claire's expression was visibly relaxed. Charlotte turned her mind slightly, and realized that what she had just said was both a suggestion and a temptation. After all, if this was really a prank trying to play with Claire, then for the sake of a joke, no nobleman would stupidly run to the underground gutter to smell the stench. This also made Charlotte impressed by this young bartender with pale blue hair, who may be surprisingly delicate.

"Very well, then it's decided. I'm going to get you some clothes. To be honest, your outfit is too eye-catching. I suspect you won't be able to get out of the slums without Kelvin's help. ”

"Don't underestimate people, I'm very good!"

His words provoked Vivien Leigh's protest, and the little princess stood up and slapped the luxurious saber at her waist and pouted in retort. Despite being rude, Claire felt that she couldn't hate this cute little girl no matter what, and her angry appearance was full of pitiful cuteness.

"Vivien Leigh, listen to Claire, this is no joke. ”

Evan gently criticized Vivien Leigh, and when she saw her eldest brother warn, the little princess could only sit down unhappily.

"Then please, Claire. ”

Evan politely addressed Claire, who nodded coldly, and was about to turn away when he was stopped by Charlotte.

"Wait, Claire. I still have some ideas, I don't know if you can do it. ”

With her elbows resting on her head, Charlotte gave her trademark wicked grin.

In the mayor's palace in the center of town, the butcher stands in a room on the third floor, spying on the crowd outside with shutters. It was the most open part of the square, and he had a great view of most of the square.

"Those three little mongrels don't seem to be showing up, Kelvin, do you know what's going on?"

Behind him, the former proscribed arms dealer, now Sir Kelvin, wiped the sweat from his head, his oily face full of nervousness. The thought that he was now helping the northern barbarians kidnap the Clayderman family made him feel that the world was too crazy.

What would the Grand Duke of Erosa do when he learned of all this? Gallows the Gallows No, no, the conqueror would not give himself such a dignified death, and he would have inflicted the most cruel penal law on himself as he had done with a foreign race!

"What are you thinking, do you want to betray me?"

The butcher's cruel and indifferent voice made him tremble, and he realized that he had reached a dead end. If he doesn't do what this terrible guy wants, he will undoubtedly tear himself into several pieces. And the most uncomfortable thing is that even if he tries his best to denounce the butcher now, his past behavior, which is almost equivalent to betraying the country, is enough to make him die hundreds of times! The **** named Kelvin feels like he has been forced onto a cliff for the first time.

"Why, my lord, I'm your companion now. Well, the three little cubs did not know if they noticed something, and they changed their clothes and went to the slums west of the city. ”

"Dressed up in the slums, hum, a clever little bastard. Send your men to keep an eye on the city guards and transfer the city guards to the square to maintain order, after all, there will be a well-known circus performance later, and it would not be good if there was a riot. ”

The butcher's words relieved Kelvin, who realized that by deploying the soldiers in this way, his chances of exposure would be minimized. Maybe in the future, he will be able to live a prosperous life and a two-faced life, which makes him almost can't help humming a song.

"But you have to follow me, after all, I can't do without the help of a good subordinate like you. ”

The butcher turned his face sideways, a sarcastic smile on his hideous face. Kelvin's heart almost hit rock bottom, which made him realize that the butcher didn't seem to fully trust him. And the most terrifying thing is that once those three nobles see their true colors, then he will never want to set foot in the Duchy of Erossa. He didn't know that everything about him was already in Charlotte's hands......

~~~~~~

No matter how glamorous a city is, there will always be some unsightly places, and that place is what we call the slums.

Dressed in shabby linen costumes, Charlotte's group of four walked down a muddy path lined with wooden huts that could barely be called sheds, and the paths were littered with disgusting garbage or vomit, as well as some unidentified and fishy-smelling white dry stains, which made Vivien Leigh even have to walk on tiptoe on the ground as if she were dancing.

The little princess pinched her cute nose, frowned, stood on tiptoe, and walked around the road cautiously. She followed the example of her brothers, and tucked her luxurious saber tightly in her bosom, like a vigilant little hamster, looking nervously at the people who were crouching in front of the door or leaning against the corner, unclothed but with ill-intentioned eyes.

"When I go back this time, I must suggest to my father that I allocate funds to manage this area well. At the very least, everyone should have a house to live in!"

Vivien Leigh spoke to Evan with the innocence of a child, and her words caught Claire's attention, and he looked thoughtfully at the little girl walking in the middle, and couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the three noble children.

The town of Santos is under the jurisdiction of the Clayderman family, and the mayor is only an administrator appointed by the Grand Duke of Erosa. Therefore, de jure, apart from the mayor, only the Clayderman family has the right to administer the land in the entire Stee world. As far as Claire knew, the mayor's family did not have children of this age, which made him wonder about the identities of the three men.

"Well, Vivien Leigh is such a nice boy. ”

Evan praised his little sister in a gentle manner, and in fact, he knew that it was nothing more than Vivien Leigh's wishful thinking. In any country, there is an inevitable distinction between class and rich and poor, and even the Grand Duke of Erosa, who is known as the wise king, cannot eliminate this class gap.

"Hmph, that's what I'm supposed to do. Everyone should have their own spacious house and warm clothes, this is the real ideal country!"

Claire's expression under the hood was visibly soothed, and although he knew that it was just a child's dream, his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at Vivien Leigh. He thought that maybe not every nobleman in this world was so hateful, and that there might be a good man like Vivien Leigh who had his own naΓ―ve ideals, but because of his ability or some other reason, he could not fulfill such a long-cherished wish.

As he thought about it, he found that he had arrived at his destination, a dilapidated and dilapidated house that was about to collapse, and the warm morning sun shone through the hole in the roof, filling the air in the house with the smell of mold. It seems that the house had been hit by a heavy rain the other night, and there were signs of dampness and mildew inside. Claire motioned for Charlotte and the others to stand back, then coughed dryly and walked into the room.

Soon, a figure sprang out from the shadows in the room. The man rushed to Claire like a civet and pressed a sharp dagger against Claire's neck. Following the sunlight, Charlotte could see his appearance, it was a half-grown child with flaxen hair, he was ordinary-looking, he looked only a year or two older than Charlotte, although he was thin, but his eyes were unexpectedly fierce.

When he saw Claire who lifted his hood, he couldn't help but let out a breath, and his expression was obviously relaxed.

"What, it's you. I said Claire, why don't you stay in the tavern and wash the dishes that never finish washing, but come to my slum? Go back to your tavern, be your bartender in peace, and marry a ****** girl for the rest of your life!"

"Listen Edie, I need your help. ”

Claire looked serious, and he grabbed Edie's shoulder, and with this sudden movement, the dandruff from the latter's flaxen hair fell down the sun. Seeing the white crumbs fluttering in the air, Vivien Leigh took half a step back without moving.

"What stupid are you talking about? Could it be that you have a crush on a girl from a family and want to use some extraordinary means to get her body? haha......"

This time, not only Vivien Leigh, but even Evan took a half step back, and only Charlotte stared at the thug with interest.

"I'm not kidding you. Listen, I need gunpowder, a bow and arrows, and some bells and little traps for warning. You can get it for me, right?"

"Hey, Claire, this isn't a joke. What the hell are you up to?"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the expression on Edie's face also changed, and he asked with a serious expression.

"Kelvin, this time, I'm going to kill him and avenge my mother!"

"Oh my God! Are you crazy?!Claire, it's up to you, don't be kidding, someone can easily take your life with a snap of their fingers!"

"No, I'm not crazy! this is the best chance, I have to avenge my mother, I don't want to be tormented by pain and remorse anymore, it will only make me an ugly monster!

Edie walked around several times, looking at the three siblings in linen hoods, and smiled when he saw their white hands hidden under their tattered clothes.

"Is it because of them? stupid aristocratic tricks! Would you fall for such a fool again? Claire!"

"We didn't lie to him!"

Vivien Leigh, the little princess couldn't help but pout, and let out a loud whining sound.

"Who cares about this! You want me to get these things? Claire, unless you ......"

"Unless what?"

Clyde asked in a loud voice.

"Unless I am one more, how can such a big thing as avenging my aunt be missing! If it weren't for my aunt's help, I would have starved to death on the streets a long time ago. Hey, if you talk about those little tricks of the yin people, Claire, how can you match me?"

"Deal!"

Before Claire could speak, Charlotte held out her hand to the gangster she had met for the first time.
