Chapter 150: The Earl's Court Demands Debts
In the southern part of the Danube, a jagged convoy of horses appeared on the edge of the fiefdom of Count Carreno in the north of the human realm, and the sound of the bells of the carriages and the whips of the chariots mingled into a symphony of spring mornings.
"Hey! There aren't many thieves along the way! It's a tedious journey. ”
Xia Yi lay lazily in the carriage, grumbling as she drank her wine. Along the way, there was only a group of bear goblin robbers who were ready to rob the Chail's caravan, and after being easily smashed by Pomlibe, there were no more waves. Xia Yi also found trouble with several legendary bandit dens, but the other party's force disappointed her very much.
The carriage had been plundered from the Count of Carreno, and the goods were almost intact, and Shay left the forest trolls and other warriors on the red slopes, on the one hand, to protect the castle, and on the other hand, if they were brought to the Anthropocene realm, it would definitely cause panic, or even the king would not be able to enter.
She brought only twenty halflings with her to help unload the cargo, as well as the Shadow Cat Man guards.
"There aren't many caravans passing through the Danube in the first place, and bandits can't starve to death if they rob here?"
Old man Merlin made a cameo appearance as a coachman, who would have thought that a sloppyly dressed coachman would be a Sanctuary mage. He took the initiative to ask to come to the human realm, because he wanted to personally select the monster skins and demon cores to repair the teleportation array.
"Yi, are you going to turn into another drunkard?" Mondo said unhappily.
"Hehehe...... Take a few sips. ”
Shay put down the flask in disgust, it was really the wine made by the halflings was so delicious, they were inventing a mead, the wine was rich, not as bitter as the spirits, and there was a floral aroma. It's a great aftertaste.
"Honey, enjoy it if you want."
The only one who contradicted Mondo was the Zombie King, who sat in the sunlight from the car window with a book in his hand. was reading, originally Xia Yi didn't want him to come, and his appearance in the royal capital would definitely attract the attention of the Illuminati Sect. It's just that he doesn't feel at ease, to be precise, worried about what will happen to Shay and Mondo during their journey that he can't tolerate.
"How's your business? Did you find it? Shay leaned in.
The Zombie King shook his head and said, "No, there is no mention of the Dreadful Phantom in Sauron's notes, it is a magical beast with superior intelligence. I think it's as difficult to tame as a dragon. ”
Xia Yi was still thinking about the dreaded phantom that she had caught in the temple, which had been kept in the cell of the castle, and Xia Yi didn't have time to pay attention to it, but she didn't want to raise a dangerous monster.
"Just slaughter it and stew it in a hot pot." Xia Yi spread his hands and said, "Old man, you can also use its fur and magic core to repair the teleportation array." ”
"Spiritual Demonic Beasts didn't help the teleportation array. I think you want to taste the taste of high-level demonic beasts, right? Old man Merlin said disgustedly.
But Shabit was interested. Said: "I think the meat of high-level Warcraft must have a natural deliciousness, we shouldn't use complicated cooking methods, steaming is the best, can retain the most original umami ......"
An extremely discordant voice shouted: "Master, I have already said that I have no record of fearing phantoms here!" However, in the opinion of the erudite Bock. It's a special kind of magical beast that can be tamed and will definitely have a good value, woo woo woo ......"
Shay brutally covered Bock's mouth, most of the time. She preferred to put it in the Void Ring, because once it opened the conversation, it couldn't stop.
"Where are we?"
"The border of the human kingdom is the border in front of it, and I am afraid that only hotels can be supplied after entering the country."
When Chay saw the Count of Carreno's domain, he couldn't help but sympathize with him, almost as barren as the Danube, sparsely populated, the pass in front was just an earthen wall, although the Count of Carreno was vast, but half of it was wasteland with no production value, and sometimes he had to pay some in.
No wonder he set his sights on the Danube and was destitute.
There were a few guards standing on the wall, they threw their weapons aside, four people gathered around, playing dice, and a few people were lying on the ground and sleeping, and the city gate was closed, how many people passed through here? Except for the hunters in the village, there is almost no need to care about the city gates, and no one will attack from here.
Even the Goblin Pirates don't visit here, they will go straight south and plunder the bustling towns.
"Anyone?!"
Chailly stood under the walls and shouted upwards.
A few guards who were gambling stopped, and when they saw a team of carriages, they all rubbed their eyes, and thought that they had seen it wrong, why did a horse convoy appear in this place? Moreover, these carriages are very familiar......
"Who are you?"
One of the captains of the guards asked, his wording was not at all rigorous, and Xia Yi knew that these guys were probably some villagers recruited from the surrounding villages, and they couldn't compare with the regular army.
"Open the door! We are friends with Count Carreno! ”
Xia Yi is ready to pull the banner and scare these people.
"Your Lord's friend??"
There was a commotion on the city walls, and they were discussing fiercely, and the captain of the guard shouted, "How do you prove yourself?" And, friends of adults, how could they run away to the Danube? ”
"Count Carreno himself went to the Danube a few days ago to visit his old friend, me, do you know this?"
"What? Lord Count went to the Danube? This is the only whistle, how do we not know the way? The captain of the guard said blankly.
Xia Yi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was not a fair and honest thing for Count Carreno to go north, and his whereabouts would definitely not be known to a few small villagers at the border pass, and besides, Count Carreno was not something they could touch.
"This is his carriage, I made a special trip to send his carriage back, you always know the family crest of Lord Earl, right?"
Xia Yi took off the family crest from the carriage, and finally they recognized the lord's family crest, which recognized Xia Yi's identity.
"Since you are a friend of Lord Earl, please wait a moment, we will open the gates for you now."
If Count Carreno knew what Charity had done, he would have been ashamed and angry
In fact, Xia Yi didn't have to be so troublesome at all, as long as Pomlibe had a mallet, this gate would be knocked into slag. It's just that she thinks she is a serious businessman, not to come to the human kingdom to rob, and the basic rules and regulations still have to be followed.
After passing through the border and resting at the town's inn, the rest is much easier with food and water. It's just that Xia Yi and his gang are not in a hurry, and they have been sightseeing all the way, and it was not until half a month later that they arrived at the human royal capital, and the family badge of Count Carreno could not be fooled, and Xia Yi showed the badge of his mage academy to pass.
"You sort the goods into categories, and then sort them out." Xia Yi explained to the halfling assistant, "By the way, go and check all the nobles with status in the royal capital." It is best to have a certain amount of financial strength, and when I come back, give me the list. ”
"Shay, where are you going?" Mondo asked, nervous as soon as he arrived in the human king.
"Go and ask for debts......
Xia Yi laughed, and staggered out alone, she was ready to go to find trouble with Count Carreno, he said in a month. Send a million gold coins to the Red Clay Plateau, and now the time has passed. She wants to get it back with interest.
After several inquiries in the bustling streets, he learned that the Count of Carreno was in the royal capital, the estate of the wealthy district, not far from the estate of the Blue Rose family, and Xia Yi thought of the stinky Marquis of Blue Rose, and wondered how to take something out of his pocket.
Upon arrival at the estate of the Count of Carreno. It's already evening, and with Chailly's current ability, entering and exiting a manor is like walking on the ground, but it is a little difficult to find where the Marquis of Carreno is, although the castle is not as luxurious as the Marquis of Blue Rose. But it's not small, she doesn't want to look for all the bedrooms and living rooms.
So a maid who came out of the kitchen was struck by a plate that seemed to be ready to be sent to Carreno's room.
Xia Yi appeared behind her silently, covered her mouth, put a dagger to her throat, and said, "If you want to die, don't make noise when I let go, unless, do you think the family knight is coming faster than my dagger, understand?" ”
The maid whined in agreement, nodding her head before Xia Yi let go of her hand.
"This should be Count Carreno's food, right? Foie gras? Looks pretty good. Shay sniffed, "Are you going to deliver food to Carreno's room?" ”
"Yes...... Yes. The maid replied in a whisper, although the end of betraying the family was terrible, but if she didn't answer, she would now go to see the god of light.
"Very well, take me there."
Xia Yi secretly said that this guy Carreno really didn't take her warning to heart, not only did he forget all about the gold coins, but he also dared to stay at home leisurely, did he think it would be safe to hide in the royal capital?
"Count Carreno, the foie gras and wine you asked for have been brought to you." The maid knocked on the door, her voice trembling.
Xia Yi frowned, because she heard the coquettish panting in the room, it seemed that she had disturbed the wind and snow in the room.
"Wait!"
Count Carreno said angrily, there was a coquettish smile in the room, and the door opened for a long time, Count Carreno was wearing a bathrobe and slippers, and when he saw the person outside the door, he jumped up like a ghost, and even the bathrobe slipped off his body, revealing his fat body, and his abdomen was as fat as a sandwich cake, and Xia Yi was greasy for a while.
"You!! You, you, you, you! ”
Count Carreno was on the ground.
Xia Yi pursed his lips, this scene is not very pretty, if it is Mondor instead, it will be fine.
"Dear Count Carreno, it seems that you remember me, yes, I came to ask for a debt, you won't forget it, will you?"
Shay slammed the door shut, cutting off Count Carreno's back path, and when she saw a woman on the bed, she saw a stranger break in, screaming and covering her shame with a velvet quilt. (To be continued......)
