Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The gloomy night shrouded the brightly lit castle of Eilyn, and the high white walls were covered with countless striking dark green vines, numerous in number, even surrounding the castle's numerous windows.
There were no magic lamps in the castle, the path was full of flickering candlesticks, the air was faintly smelling of oil smoke, and Pandelia was in a golden hall as she was led by a maid's attendant through a snow-covered garden.
The roaring flame of the fireplace in the hall warmed her body, the candlesticks on the walls and the candles on the ceiling lit up in every corner, and on the white and flat floor, Pandelia's eyes were fixed on a man sitting on the throne in front of her.
The man was dressed in a crisp black gown, with a delicate bow tie under the collar, a slight tension under the white undershirt to show the man's strong chest, and a gentle faint smile on his handsome face that seemed to be carved by a knife and axe, and the first impression made people feel his politeness and friendliness.
"Evening Gui'an, my dear Miss Pandelia."
Overred stood up and greeted with a standard aristocratic etiquette.
"Gui'an in the evening, Lord Overred."
Without thinking about it, Pandelia knew who the man in front of her was.
"I beg your pardon for inviting you to Earling Castle, and I hope you don't care, Miss Pandelia."
Overred walked slowly towards Pandelia, a smile still on his face.
"It's my honor to invite you, but I don't know what your purpose is in inviting me to Earin Castle, Lord Overred?!"
Pandelia took a slight step back.
"The purpose? If I said I just wanted to meet my future fiancΓ©e, would you be satisfied with my answer? β
Overred closed the distance between him and Pandelia, one step, one step.
"Lord Overred. Please don't make such boring jokes! β
Pandelia said with a cold face.
"Jokes? Do you think I'm joking with you? β
Overred approached her, smiling as she took in Pandelia's delicate face.
"I'm sorry! I think Lord Overred you need to calm down your feelings. β
Pandelia hurriedly took a few steps back, widening the distance between herself and Ofred, and said indifferently.
"No, no, no, I've always been calm! It's you who are too nervous. β
Ophreder no longer persecuted Pandelia, but stood still and stared at her.
"I heard that Lord Overred recently defeated Viscount Duda's sneak attack. Why are you staying in Eblasro now that you're preparing to support the Cantrant front?! Pandelia digressed from the subject, trying to deflect the embarrassment.
"It seems that you know a lot, but unfortunately your information is not complete and correct, I did not come back to Ebrasrow because I was resting the army and preparing to go to Cantland to support!" Overred chuckled.
"And youβ" Pandelia said with a pandelia in her heart.
"Of course, I have come back to Ebramrow for you, my dear Princess Pandelia!"
The conversation eventually returned to a place that Pandelia didn't want to face.
"Lord Overred, please pay attention to your words!" Pandelia scolded.
"Anger at a lady is indeed not a matter of aristocratic etiquette. I apologize to you profusely. With that, Overred once again politely made a courtesy.
This gesture made Pandelia frown, what was he thinking?
"Overred! Please don't be coy! Say what you invited me for! Pandelia said directly.
"Didn't I say that? I invited you just to meet my future fiancΓ©e! β
Overred walked slowly towards Pandelia.
"Wishful thinking!"
Pandelia's face was like frost, and the hand that held the dagger under her coat tightened.
"It's not a delusion, it's a reality of preparing to live!"
As she spoke, Overred had stepped up to her. Looking at the petite man who was only as tall as his chest, he stretched out his fingers and unscrupulously tapped at the other party's delicate chin.
"Overred, do you have to figure out what you're doing?!" Pandelia said with a cold gaze.
"Of course I know what I'm doing! It's just that where did you get the confidence to boldly refuse to resist me? A hint of evil appeared in Overred's smile, "Let me guess if it's the Frank you hired to protect you. Lord Charan? β
"You should know what happens if you offend a high-ranking powerhouse!" Pandelia did not deny it.
"What a scary answer."
Overred laughed, and the laughter grew louder and louder!
"Do you really think I'm going to be afraid of him!"
Hold back the laughter. Overred's handsome face showed a hideous expression: "I'm afraid it won't take ten days and a half months for you to get the news of his death!" β
"What?!"
Pandelia was startled, and the whole person was shocked in disbelief.
"You're plotting against him?"
"Plot?! Perhaps. Overred nodded indifferently and said, "Of course, if you are willing to be my fiancΓ©e, I can save his life for you!" β
"Don't think! Your Excellency Xia Lan will definitely not die lightly! When the time comes, he will definitely kill you when he finds out what you have done to me! Pandelia said calmly and indifferently.
"Kill me? It's really exciting! Overred sneered.
"You'll see that day!" Pandelia argued.
"Excellent! So you have to hope that he doesn't die so easily, and the day he dies is the day we get married! β
Overred turned his back and snapped his fingers.
"Someone, put Miss Pandelia in her room for me! No one is allowed to let her out of the room for half a step! β
As the words fell, the door to the hall opened, and several sturdy maids walked in. Without waiting for them to make a move, Pandelia snorted coldly: "Don't let you do it!" I'll go myself! β
As Pandelia's figure left, the resplendent hall fell into an empty and deserted place.
"My lord, I wonder why you didn't simply occupy her!"
Suddenly. An eerie voice appeared in the hall.
"Oh? Are you trying to make me "qiangjian" her?! β
Overred sneered and said disdainfully, "Only a man with a weak heart would do such a despicable thing!" β
"Oh?! Do you want to get her heart? The voice chuckled. There seemed to be a mixture of ridicule in the laughter.
"I admit she's beautiful, but she's just a tool to me after all!" Overred snorted coldly. "At least we have some room for mitigation until we don't hurt her!"
"Relaxation? Leeway? My lord, are you worried about that young high-ranking swordsman? The voice said.
"Don't underestimate that man, the spies on the front line have the latest information, the old guy almost broke Viscount Farrante's military formation in a stalemate with Viscount Frank not long ago. And that man was the key to that victory! Overred said with a solemn expression: "Who would have thought that man could strictly delay Bai Xize's command of the attack and defense!" But he also paid a lot of price for this! β
"I heard he got a sword in the chest!?" The voice said.
"Yes, it's a pity that there is no place to insert it into the heart!" Overred said regretfully.
"Looks like our chance has come!" The voice said.
"No, we can't do it until the old guy has completely defeated Farrant!" Overred said flatly.
"Boom... The Earl would never have imagined that his son would stab him in the back at that time! The voice seemed to think of something and sneered.
"Shut up! Don't discredit my father! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! Overred said murderously towards some uninhabited corner of the hall!
"I'm very strange, sooner or later, the position of Lord Earl will be yours, why do you want to betray and usurp it so impatiently!?" The voice was silent.
"Because I need to prove to the old guy that he's really old!"
Fumbling with the silver-gray ring on his finger, Overred looked at the luxurious chair in the main seat of the hall and said lightly.
β¦β¦
"Has the groom loaded all the clothes in my room into the carriage? I'll be ready to go out in a few moments! β
Take a napkin and wipe the grease off your mouth. Winnie said as she drank honey to the maid who was serving beside her.
"Miss, everything you have ordered is done, and now the groom is waiting for you outside the door to come out at any time!" The maid on the side said.
"Excellent! Then I'm out now! β
As she spoke, Winnie took out a bottle of wine from a small box she was carrying by her and handed it to the maid, "It's very cold at night, you can send it to the groom to warm up first, this is a special liquor I have treasured!" β
The maid took the bottle. A smile appeared on his face and said, "Miss, you are really kind! I'll hand it over to the groom now! β
"Go ahead."
Winnie waved her hand and stood up, stretching her tired body, and a thick tiredness suddenly invaded.
He took out another bottle of potion from the small portable box and drank it, shook his head slightly, and felt a little more refreshed, then took the thick coat handed by the maid and wrapped it, and Winnie walked straight to the door.
"Thank you, Miss, for your reward!"
Get out the door. When he came to the carriage, the middle-aged groom said to Winnie with a grateful face.
"No, you don't! How do I feel about your spirits? β
Winnie smiled shyly, opened the small door of the carriage and went up to the back of the carriage.
"Excellent! The little one had never drunk such a strong and wonderful wine, and now my whole body is warm, and I don't feel cold even if I take off my coat! The middle-aged groom pulled the reins and slowly drove the carriage to the road.
"Just drink it! Just drink it! β
Winnie's smile was unusually bright, and instead, she suddenly asked, "Is the Mercenary Guild still open now?" β
"Of course! There's no such thing as a closing time for the Mercenary Guild! The middle-aged groom said.
"Then let's go to the Mercenary Guild now!" Winnie said.
"Huh? Miss, aren't you rushing to the alchemy workshop? The middle-aged groom said.
"Are you questioning your master's words?!" Winnie asked with a cold face.
"Don't dare, don't dare! The little ones obey your orders! The middle-aged groom hurriedly said in a cold sweat, but muttered in his heart that the little girl's mood is really like the weather, and it will change!
The carriage came to a halt after a long time. The groom pulled the reins and said, "Miss, we have arrived!" β
"Got it!"
Winnie in the carriage finished speaking. The middle-aged Muffton turned his head in a bad way, because the sound in the carriage suddenly became unfamiliar, when he saw the people in the carriage. The whole person was dumbfounded.
I saw that Winnie had changed into a mercenary outfit with leather armor and a sword at some point, and her cute and pretty face suddenly changed into a well-behaved boy. Even the sound is the same!
"Miss, you're ......"
"Shut up! Forget everything you see! Winnie scolded coldly.
"Yes!"
"Wait for me here, I'll be out soon!"
After saying that, the groom watched in amazement as Winnie walked towards the open door of the Mercenary Society!
There was no bustle in the mercenary guild during the day, and there were only mercenaries in the huge hall who were drinking and chattering quietly, and when they saw Winnie walk in, their eyes were faintly unkind.
"I need to hire some people!"
He didn't pay any attention to the eyes of the people around him. Winnie said as she walked over to the reception counter.
The person in charge of the reception at the counter was a young and beautiful girl, her cute face was dotted with some small freckles, she looked at the person in front of her, and said with a polite smile on her face: "I don't know what kind of people you need to hire?" β
The little girl who has been in charge of entertaining for a long time in this mixed place of the mercenary association has already developed a pair of shrewd eyes, and when she first saw the other party, she knew that the person in front of her was a little girl dressed as a man, but this kind of thing is very common in the mercenary world. So she didn't think too much about it either.
And what she cares about the most is the temperament of the other party, through the other party's words, deeds and clothing decoration, she can know that the other party must be a child of a powerful family!
For this kind of rich person, the little girl's attitude is naturally very enthusiastic.
"I need to hire some guards to protect me on my way to Cantland! And the requirements of the guards are only two points, credibility and strength! Money is not an issue! β
As she spoke, Winnie twitched the corners of her mouth and took out a bag of gold coins from her arms and slammed it on the reception table!
"It's a down payment! I'll pay 10 times the deposit when I arrive in Cantland! β
The little girl at the reception desk was stunned, but she felt ridiculous in her heart, it turned out that this guy was a rookie! But this kind of rookie is the most liked!
Untie the string of the money bag. The little girl counted the gold coins inside!
32 authentic Sisinian gold coins!
According to the little girl, then the commission for this hire is as huge as 32o Sisinian gold coins, which is a rare big business!
"Yo-Sylvia! It seems that you have received a good employer, don't forget to recommend my brother to me! β
"Sylvia! And me! Uncle watched you grow up! β
"Sylvia! Look here, look here......"
Unexpectedly, Winnie's act of throwing out the money bag immediately attracted the greedy eyes of the mercenaries in the hall of the association, and they immediately coaxed after seeing the approximate amount of gold coins in the bag.
"I won't hire any of them! I hope you don't smash your signboard in the Eblaunro Mercenary Association! β
Facing the noise of the mercenaries around her, Winnie said coldly to the little girl at the reception desk.
Sylvia didn't care about the threat in his employer's words, but nodded politely: "Don't worry, we will definitely arrange the right mercenary you requested!" Not sure when you'll need them? β
"Now!"
"What? Right now? Are you going to Cantrandland now? Did you know that the gates of Ebramrow are now closed? Sylvia was surprised.
"Not bad! As for the closure of the gates, I think you will have a way to solve it! β
As she spoke, Winnie once again took out a bag of gold coins and smashed it on the reception table!
"Don't worry! Please give us some time. We will solve your requirements in no time! β
Seeing the gold coin, Sylvia's face instantly turned straight.
"Beckto! Hurry up and inform the guys of the Gladius Mercenary Regiment, big business is coming! β
As she spoke, Sylvia immediately shouted to a young man behind her who was dozing off a wooden post.
The young man shuddered, and when he saw Sylviakin's shining eyes, he exclaimed! Here she is again!
Each mercenary guild's hospitality has their additional income. For example, after recommending a large employer to some mercenary teams, the mercenary team will also pay a referral fee in a timely manner, such as the commission hired by Winnie, Sylvia can get at least 16 gold coins of the referral money!
"Wait a minute. We will complete your employment commission in no time! Need a hot cup of tea? β
After Sisinia instructed Becktor to go out, he said to Winnie with a warm smile on his face.
"Yes! Hope you don't keep me waiting too long! β
The waiting time was not long, it was only about three cups of hot tea, and a group of elite mercenaries stepped into the hall of the mercenary association under the leadership of Becktor!
"Sylvia! Where's the big business employer you introduced me?! β
A loud voice suddenly resounded in the hall!
Winnie was shocked, and turned her head to look at the group of mercenaries walking forward. I saw that the mercenaries were all dressed in disarray, some of their helmets were half crooked, some were crooked, and some of their leather armor was torn apart...... This sight made Winnie's eyes widen and she was stunned!
"This is the mercenary you recommended to me! Are you kidding! β
Winnie stood up abruptly and slapped the table on the reception table hard.
"Calm down! Calm down! Don't look at them like this, they are now the most credible and powerful mercenary team in Ebranro! Sylvia hurriedly reassured.
"Haha! Top dog! It looks like we're being underestimated again! And it's still ...... Well...... Looks like a little girl......"
"Boss! It's all your fault! I've said before that I'm going to give us all the commissions to change clothes collectively. But you took the commission to take us to drink! You see, now even employers are not happy! β
The mercenaries burst into laughter and noise when they heard Winnie's angry accusations.
"Quiet! You shit! Isn't it all about the collective approval of drinking? How did it become my fault now!? I'll clean you guys later! β
A strong man with a long beard stretched out his hand to pat away the blind companion beside him, and came to the reception desk with a snort, and his fierce face showed an ugly smile to Winnie and said, "Little girl! You're our employer this time, right? Please rest assured with us! Don't look at us as a disgrace on the surface, but our credibility and strength are well-known throughout Ebranro! β
"Really?" Winnie frowned. Asked the other party's mouth to spew out of the wine, the distrust on his face was directly revealed!
"Of course! If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone here! When did I Auden ever lie to someone! The big man patted his chest.
"This young lady, don't worry, I won't smash the signboard of our Ebramrow Mercenary Association, although these people in the Gladious Mercenary Group seem to be messing around, but their strength and credibility are still guaranteed, I will tell you quietly...... The leader of the dagger mercenary group in front of him was once the leader of a knight order who was defeated and lost his territory! Sylvia whispered in her ear as she pulled Winnie.
"In that case, I believe you! We'll be out now. No problem? Winnie maintained an indifferent attitude and said to the big man in front of her.
"No problem!" Auden said loudly.
"Excellent! My carriage is outside, and I need to see you later! β
With that, Winnie walked out of the gate of the Mercenary Society!
"Sylvia! That's okay with this employer, right? After Winnie left, Auden's face suddenly became stern and serious.
"Don't worry, in my experience, the employer this time is definitely the child of a big man's family, but why she went to Cantland is puzzling, maybe a relative had an accident during the war, otherwise I wouldn't have been in such a hurry, just the perfume I smelled on her body I knew was the most expensive purple rose perfume in Ebranro. You know, a bottle of Purple Rose Perfume is worth at least 1o gold coins......" Sylvia guessed as she recounted.
"It's okay over there, I trust your vision! We'll give you 1o% of the referral fee after this mission is completed! Auden nodded and said, "Thank you so much for your help in the past few years!" β
"It's just a matter of taking care of each other!" Sylvia said with a smile that didn't belong to her age.
"That's it! Little ones! Cheer me up! Get ready for your next adventure and challenge! β
Auden raised his arms and exhaled, which immediately caused the surrounding companions to shout loudly!
The groom, who had been waiting outside the mercenary association for a long time, immediately became nervous and concerned when he saw Winnie's shadow: "Miss, you have finally come out!" β
"Yes!"
Winnie answered casually and stepped onto the carriageway.
"I'm sorry, we'll need to get to the gates of Ebranro later!"
"Miss. What are we going to do there? The middle-aged groom suddenly said uneasy.
"Leaving Ebraunro, of course!" Winnie said lightly.
"Miss...... Where are you going to leave Eblaunro? The middle-aged groom said worriedly.
"Cantrant!"
"Ah...... Miss...... Please forgive me for not being able to travel with you to Cantrand, Ebranello and my wife and family need to be taken care of, they cannot leave me! The middle-aged groom hurriedly said.
"If you don't go, you can't do it!" Winnie said indifferently.
"Why? Miss! If you really need me to drive a carriage to CantrantΓ‘n, I'd rather quit this job! The middle-aged groom said angrily.
"I've poisoned your wine, and you'll die if you don't get my antidote by tomorrow morning! You say, would you rather obey my orders or would rather die! β
Winnie closed her eyes, even though she couldn't bear to say it.
"Miss, !! you"
The middle-aged groom's eyes widened, and in a blink of an eye, he vomited violently on the side of the carriage.
"The medicinal properties of the poison have spread all over your body, and it is useless no matter how much you vomit!" Winnie said in a deep voice.
"Miss, why do you want to harm me!? I don't want to die, and I don't want to go to Cantland! Please spare me, my sick wife and young children need my care, you can't be so cruel to us! The middle-aged groom was stunned for a moment, and then immediately collapsed on the side of the carriage and wept bitterly.
There was silence in the carriage for a long, long time.
Until Auden's familiar voice came!
"Miss! Is this your carriage? Hey, what's going on with the guy in the carriage? Do you need my help to solve it? β
"No need!"
After saying that, Winnie opened the small window of the carriage and dropped a bottle of potion that was still in front of the coachman's eyes, and the snow did not break the bottle.
"This is the antidote, take it! The man driving the carriage is coming! β
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss! β
Reaching out to pick up the bottle, the carriage kowtowed several times and thanked him, and then immediately ran away!
Winnie let out a long sigh.
After all, he is not Xia Lan who can be cruel and ruthless to everyone......

It feels good, it's the smoothest chapter I've written in the past few months, so let's have some votes to encourage it, haha
