Chapter 308: The Canary
So every day you live with Remy? ”
The little girl who followed behind Kalujie was now blue and swollen. His arm and left leg were wrapped in bandages, and there was a bulge on his forehead that was visible to the naked eye.
"Ms. Kalujie, we don't expect this little girl to be of much help to the Empire, and it's too much for you to torture people every day." Giovanni said half-jokingly.
"Coerced confession? Not really, I just taught him some of the tricks that a gypsy caravan walker girl would do. The royal family shouldn't be able to support her for the rest of her life, right? I have taken care of her these days, but I have paid for it. Kalujie angrily found a chair and sat down, "I'm just asking Epirus about business, receiving His Majesty's salary, and finding something to do for myself." You see that Remy is just a little girl now, and she will definitely not ...... in the future."
"Don't all those stunt gypsies never tell the story? Oh...... But think about the posture of those dancers, it's so beautiful! ”
"If they kicked me out of the caravan and wandered the world, why should I stick to their rules? Besides, what I taught Remy wasn't these useless tricks. If His Majesty had a ball, I'd be afraid it would be time for me to go out of town. Kalujie took Remy's hand, "Do you see this layer of cocoon, since the little girl likes to tinker with those things, I will take her to learn." It's a little rusty to not practice for a few years, but it's no problem to teach her. ”
"Oh, you're so modest that I almost forgot why His Majesty brought you back to Gombrigne in the first place."
"If something of value is stolen from Fort Combrigne in the future, I will definitely think of you two sisters for the first time, Carlujie." John also laughed, "What's wrong with teaching people...... Do you want a female thief on the streets of Gombrigne in the future who no one can do anything about her? ”
"I've heard that Ilgen of Pojbrad used to have a bunch of gypsy dancers as assassins, and you didn't have a small dagger with you before, so you wouldn't have done it." Giovanni looked at Calujie with interest, "First use your posture to charm the other party, and take advantage of the fact that others are not paying attention...... Syllable! ”
"General Giovanni, I don't mind stabbing you right now." Kalujie rolled her eyes, "If I had that skill, I wouldn't have run so awkwardly with His Majesty John." ”
"Even if you have a martial art, you should only be able to run when you see hundreds of mercenaries." Giovanni added in due course.
"Yes. If General Giovanni had been on the front line, he would have been able to return to Combrine with His Majesty the same way and not hurt a single hair, right? ”
"You ......"
……
"Alright, let's get down to business. I also applied for employment with Mittal out of curiosity, which should have happened four or five days ago...... Received a reply today. John raised the letter in his hand, "The reply received was quick and ......"
With a shake of John's hand, the envelope was divided into four parts: "The price I may have promised was a bit charming, and we were contacted by four Mittals. They all call themselves the most elite of the Mittal mercenaries. ”
This reply also proves that they are also aware of each other's existence, and are currently in a state of symbiosis with other forces calling themselves 'Mittal'. It stands to reason...... If it's a regular mercenary group, I'm afraid it won't let other impostors tarnish their reputation. This Mittal is indeed too strange as a mercenary organization. Kalujie frowned.
Generally speaking, a freelance mercenary also needs to befriend at least one local lord or nobleman. This allows you to settle down in the area, or at least in exchange for a place to be stationed. Otherwise, it is very likely that the authorities will cut off their back road when they are "a little tight on hand". Now Mittal is in a mess, but he is still desperate to pick up work everywhere, which is really a bit of a daring artist.
"At least as mercenaries, a professional or semi-professional army must be more sensible than a bunch of peasants under our command. There are enemies on all sides, and there are backers on all sides. Austria and Hungary have an ambiguous attitude, but their business has been good. Sophia sat next to John with her hands crossed, and said with a smile, "Calujie also said before that Remy's necklace is inseparable from the real Mittal and the real high-level, and this Mittal is likely to have a deep grudge against Frederick III because of a necklace." ”
"Your Highness...... I'm afraid that Mittal's higher-ups won't believe what we say because of this necklace. He could have understood us as liars who wanted to use hatred to draw Mittal into the Imperial camp......"
"So I said, I wasn't idle for the other few days." Kalujie sighed, "Your Excellency Giovanni, I sent someone back to Anriwang to find the ruins of the mill in Remy's hometown. Also found...... The place where Remy said the box was buried. ”
"Box? That woman's box? ”
Little Remy didn't mean to convey the news for the woman at all, he just wanted to take the gold and silver jewelry and these tools. So the letter is still in the box...... Although the handwriting is decayed and illegible, the content left on it should be enough to convince the so-called Mittal that Remy has really come into contact with this information."
"So what now? Write a reply to each of these four letters? John asked.
"No, there is no need to write a letter. All we need to do is draw Remy's necklace on paper and write down Anriwang's mill. Whether they're real Mittal or fake Mittal, or what's out of nowhere. As long as you know this symbol and have a connection with that woman from a few years ago, we will communicate separately...... But I believe that it should not be us who should be in a hurry at this time. "That woman insisted on getting Remy to convey her revenge, not only because she was confident in Mittal's army, but also in her own identity in Mittal. ”
"But a few years passed...... People change. We are also not sure that the backer that woman thought of at the beginning still has much status in Mittal. Your Majesty, if you really expect the help of the Mittal Mercenary Regiment, there is no need to expect much at this time. ”
"It doesn't matter if I help or not, what I'm curious about now is how many forces are behind this Mittal to mediate...... To be able to make a mercenary organization that was originally disintegrated exist in such a strange form......"
