Chapter 5: The Ambush at the Mayor's Palace

The guard muttered to himself, if he hadn't noticed that the three siblings' clothes and Charlotte's overly arrogant attitude were not like ordinary people, and he tried to restrain his anger and not dare to be too rude. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If there is a bear child dressed in ordinary clothes, this uncle with a passer-by face will probably change his attitude and let the other party know what the anger of a small person is.

"Sorry, the mayor isn't here!"

Because he was afraid of Charlotte's identity, even if he was unhappy, the guard could only answer honestly.

"I'm sorry, sir. This is the character of the younger brother, he has no malicious intent. Excuse me, can't you really call the mayor out? We do have something very important to discuss with him. ”

Evan was one step ahead, thinking that the guards were deliberately making things difficult because of Charlotte's anger, so he explained politely. His noble demeanor was respected by the guards, and he took a closer look at the three siblings in front of him, convinced that these children were really big people he couldn't afford to provoke.

"But the mayor is not there. The day after tomorrow, Miss Cecilia, the daughter of the Count of Ferrard's family, will hold a celebration of her 11th birthday, and the mayor has been invited to a banquet, and she has already set off yesterday. ”

Evan and Vivien Leigh looked at Charlotte with strange eyes, causing the latter to shudder. Charlotte then remembered that they had been invited to Cecilia's birthday celebration. And most importantly, the little Lori with fiery red hair is still Charlotte's marriage partner.

"Then is there anyone in the mayor's mansion who can call the shots? I won't hide it from you, in fact, our three brothers and sisters are members of the Clayderman family, and we really have urgent matters to see the mayor this time!"

When the guards heard this, their expressions became serious. Although the de jure and de facto rulers of the Claydeman family's Duchy of Erosa could not confirm the identities of the three children in front of them, the guards did not dare to be vague on key issues. If they were neglected at this time, and they were really members of the Clayderman family, the guards could not imagine their miserable end.

Thinking of this, he immediately changed his face and smiled flatteringly.

"Oh, it's the old man of the Clayderman family, please wait, I'll go and inform Lord Cayde at once. ”

"Who, who's the master!"

Vivien Leigh pouted unpleasantly and kicked the bluestone steps hard with her pony boots. The rest of the guards were frightened, as if they were interested in the crack in the blue bricks in front of the door, and stared at the bricks with an inquiring meaning, and no one dared to speak.

Of course, in the world of Steeu, there is a huge gap between the class status of the nobles and the commoners, let alone Clayderman as the ruling family. It is no exaggeration to say that it is really no more difficult for any of the three siblings to kill a guard than it is to pinch an ant to death. It's good that the ants will still run, but the guards ...... If the Clayderman family wants his life, then he can only hehe.

About a quarter of an hour later, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a fancy costume walked out of the door. His blonde hair was meticulously brushed back, a popular hairstyle among the aristocracy, and sweat was pouring down his shiny head. He jogged out of the door, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his loose robe. To be honest, the image looks as disgusting as a fat pig.

When he came to the three siblings, he immediately braked, bent down exaggeratedly, and there was still a hint of a charming smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, it's actually three honorable young masters and young ladies who are driving to Santos, which really makes the villain so excited that he doesn't know what to do!"

"All you have to do is stay at least three steps away from me......"

Even in such a tense moment, Charlotte did not forget to complain. It's not that he's deliberately finding fault, it's actually that this lord has a strong fox smell, even if he tries his best to cover it up with perfume, it just makes the smell even more strange and unpleasant. Don't you see, Fei Wenli has already covered her nose and stepped back a few steps?

The lord's expression immediately became very exciting, and he rubbed his fingers awkwardly, looking at a loss. Ai Wen maintained the demeanor of an aristocracy, he took a step forward, bowed slightly and reserved in return, and showed a certain etiquette to the former.

"I'm the eldest son of the Clayderman family, Ivan, these two are my younger siblings, I have something very important to explain to the lord, I wonder if the lord can call the shots in the absence of the mayor?"

"Of course! Of course, it is my pleasure to serve three distinguished lords! Allow me to offer you some drinks, and perhaps we may sit down and talk. ”

To tell the truth, Charlotte is extremely unhappy with the way she talks about things like nobles, and she has her eyebrows burned and talks while drinking wine. But it can't be helped, this is the rule of the game in aristocratic circles. The well-educated Evan and Vivien Leigh also had nothing to do with it, with Evan taking the lead, Charlotte and Vivien Leigh keeping a certain distance from the Lord, and the three siblings stepped into the political center of Santos under the guidance of the Lord.

Naturally, the mayor's mansion cannot be compared with Fort Vasa, where Charlotte lives, you must know that Fort Vasa has survived more than 3,000 years of wind and rain without falling. From the very beginning, a small stone castle has been renovated several times, and with the efforts of dozens of generations, it has evolved into the majestic complex full of defensive barriers.

As the political and economic center of the town, the mayor's office is not expected to have any tall and magnificent appearance. It is just a three-story stone building covering an area of about 3,000 square meters, although its owner has purchased a lot of decorations in it, and some famous paintings and famous swords are neatly placed on display shelves, but from the eyes of the three siblings, they are just grandstanding fakes.

Of course, if the mayor of a district could get the real thing, then Archduke Erosa would probably have to wield a butcher's knife at this vampire long ago.

The lord led the three siblings to the living room on the first floor, and along the way, he kept wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. It seemed that those few short steps had exhausted his life's physical strength. For his waste-like performance, even Aven, who was the most reserved of the three siblings, couldn't help but despise him.

In the crisis-ridden world of Steeu, the nobility is not a parasite that only knows how to suck blood. They have more than 80 percent of the knowledge and wealth of human society, and it is only natural that they must charge at the forefront of human expansion.

Judging from the aristocracy Charlotte has seen since childhood, not to mention that they are all elites of society, but the difference in starting point and position has made them far better than ordinary commoners. Not to mention anything else, the power of the bloodline alone was enough for them to easily crush civilians who had worked hard all their lives.

Therefore, noticing the performance of this lord, Charlotte immediately concluded that the family from which this guy came from was just a nouveau riche with a history of only a few decades, or even less.

"How did the lord recognize us? I'm sorry, it's not offensive, but have we seen it before?"

After entering the mayor's mansion, the three siblings all let go of the big stone in their hearts, and Ai Wen had more energy to ask some details about this nouveau riche.

After hearing his question, the nouveau riche visibly stiffened, and he wiped the sweat from his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Ha, ha, that's right, at last year's Principality Celebration, the contemptible had the privilege of seeing the three of them from afar. After all, contemptible people are just insignificant little people, and it's normal for the three adults not to know contemptible!"

"Is that so? I'm sorry, but from this day forward, I'll remember you, so I can tell me your name? You've helped our three siblings, and I promise you'll gain my friendship!"

"The name of the contemptible is not enough to worry about......"

The upstart who walked at the forefront didn't know whether it was out of modesty or for other reasons, but he actually rejected the olive branch thrown by Aiwen. Then, he pushed open the door to the meeting room.

"Run—"

Charlotte, who fell in third place, grabbed Vivien Leigh's small hand, and at the same time reached forward with one hand, grabbing Aven's arm. In the brightly lit reception room, he saw a muscular barbarian man standing in the center with a long axe on his back, his ugly head hairless, and his face covered in hideous scars and mysterious war paints. That's the butcher who defeated the three siblings in the last world line!

The butcher smiled cruelly, licked his tongue and waved it with one hand.

"Well done! I just need a living mouth, dare to resist and kill!"

As the words fell, a dozen or so men in black immediately rushed out of the corner, holding scimitars and approaching the three siblings with strange steps. At the same time, in the upstairs position, some men in black occupied a favorable position, pointing their longbows firmly at the three siblings. This is undoubtedly a trap, and they have almost been cornered.

Qiang――

The three siblings drew their swords without hesitation, and Ai Wen rushed to each other first, he called out the magic energy in his body, and the light blue magic energy converged along his mind to the sword body, and he jumped up slightly half of his body and slashed at the man in black. The man in black seemed to be very contemptuous of such an attack, and in his opinion, what could a 12-year-old child have to fight against a killer like him who had experienced blood.

However, the truth was beyond his expectations, the scimitar and the saber were connected, and in just an instant, the scimitar broke like tofu, and the man in black didn't even have time to snort before his head was split by Aven.

In terms of martial arts alone, Ai Wen, who is only a second-ring warrior, is naturally not an opponent of the third-ring assassins. However, as I said at the beginning, the difference between nobles, especially pure-blood nobles, and commoners is in the bloodline. The noble and pure bloodline can make it easier for the children of the nobles to awaken the magic energy, with the assistance of the magic energy, both strength and speed will rise to a higher level, not to mention the extremely powerful martial arts in the ancient family, these factors have formed a gap between the nobles and the common people!

Among civilians, if they can awaken their magical energy before being promoted to a high-level warrior of the Six Rings, they can already be regarded as a genius-like existence. The three Clayderman siblings, on the other hand, are geniuses who awakened their magical abilities when they were children, and even in the history of the family, this is a unique talent.

Due to various factors, it is not surprising that in just one round, Ai Wen was able to use his magic energy to supplement his family stunt - the sword in the stone to kill the man in black.

However, the biggest crisis came. Behind the three siblings, the butcher who saw the strength of the three finally started to act!
