Chapter 19: Look at my sincerity
With this joy in mind, Abay returned to the hotel to see old George and Fishtail with a smile on his face, and he did not look as serious as usual.
Seeing Abay Lou returning, old George got up from his chair and greeted him: "Moonsickle, Fishtail and I thought something had happened to you!" and then his face was a little unnatural: "You..."
"It's too fragrant, isn't it?" the fishtail was not as scruple as old George: "When you came in, there was a very fragrant smell in the house." ”
Abaylou is not going to look for a courtesan. Old George felt that he was not such a person, and if he didn't come back for a day and a night, did he go to a brothel?
Yes, Abaylou's face changed, Qiaotz is indeed very fragrant, it may have something to do with Qiaoci Qiongqiong, and after staying for a long time, even his sense of smell has become dull. After sniffing, I could only smell a slight fragrance.
"By the way, I have something to tell you," said old George, with a straight face, "Fishtail and I met with my former boss, and he very happily agreed to my and Fishtail's application for enlistment, but... There was a Count named Count Peake who said he wanted to see you. ”
"Why did you see me?"
"I don't know, he pretends to be very familiar with you, my commander is a subordinate after all, so he can't help me speak, so I have to promise him to ask you. ”
"That's it?"
"That's all. ”
Abailou thought for a long time and didn't know what he had to do with this Count of Pique, he had no friends in Sapphire. Did this Earl of Pique find out who he was?
In order to make future trips less troublesome, Abay Lou still decided to go to the appointment. He was pressed for time and couldn't afford to spend his time on trouble.
He promised old George that he would go himself, and because the time agreed by Count Peake was at night, Abay Lou slept and considered his next step.
In fact, he has a big goal, and it is precisely because of the big goal that it is really difficult, how can a person make the countries of the mainland pay a price that is enough to make them break their bones.
One person is definitely not good, Abaylou has to win over those who dare to resist, he wants to return to Aegean, and some things must be done by himself......
Arran... Parrot Stone... Lady Cinny...
It's been a very much anticipated journey.
The Earl of Peake came with the greatest sincerity, and actually arranged for Abaylou a carriage, still with luxurious aristocratic interiors.
But no matter how luxurious the interior, the carriage is a carriage, and the stiff wooden wheels are still bumpy.
Earl Pique's estate is in another aristocratic district of Sapphire City, where he can simply and greedily exploit every commoner.
This is the prerogative of the nobility.
As a high-ranking nobleman of the Sapphire Kingdom, his pomp and circumstance are still very large, the manor is brightly lit, and the grand banquet is full of laughter.
"Let me see who's coming! it's my honored guest, Lord Moonsickle!" Count Peake walked to the door with an enthusiastic face, and shook Abayro's hand cordially.
Abaylou felt the oiliness in his hands, this fat middle-aged aristocrat was very hypocritical.
What the hell was the purpose of making him invite me?
This is the heart of Count Peake, of course he did not sincerely invite Abaylou, but also thanks to the fact that Viscount Joates had given him a wanted list before, and he looked at the dignitaries on the list, which was really similar to this month sickle. As long as you hand him over to the Holy See, there will be a reward. Dirty and vulgar mercenaries dare to shake the hand of Master Pique.
As for how he knew, the nobleman from the intelligence dealer that Abay Lou met was Pique.
What a flash.
In order to keep Abaylous, the Earl of Peake can be said to be unscrupulous: "I have an errand that I must ask you to help me with, old George told me that you are very capable! ”
Phew, how could it be, it was all Mistress Peake's.
If Abaylou was really just a mercenary, he might have caught the word, and the touting of a great nobleman was really comfortable.
But......
Quietly grasping the dagger from his sleeve, Abaylou followed Pique into the hall.
Count Peake gestured to the maid with his eyes, and several of the dancing girls ran over to show off their bewitchment, grabbed Abayr's arm, and smiled coquettishly. "Your Excellency Moonsickle, I still have to deal with the other guests, please have fun. ”
Treating this kind of woman, Abaylou has long been like a rock, deliberately showing a look of enjoyment and laughing with them.
In fact, he made eye contact with Jotz, who was surrounded by a group of noble ladies.
As the women of the Hank family, no man dares to strike up a conversation, so they let their women strike up a conversation with Jotz.
Because Jotz is a very strong potential stock.
Joates also saw Abaylou, who was not dressed in aristocratic clothes, and traveler's clothes were always very conspicuous in this hall.
"Pique, the pig called me, I think it has something to do with Abaylou. Jotz gave Abaylou a look of concern, stepped out, and handed a task to his guard: "Go and call the centurion of the Platinum Army." ”
"Miss Jotz, are you satisfied with the banquet?" said Earl Peake flatteringly, his eyes glancing up and down at Jots, obscenely.
"I caught a big fish," said Peake, "and I must have been a fugitive from Abdubi, and if Miss Jots is willing to give me a little credit." ”
Although Joates smiled on the surface, he rolled his eyes in his heart: Really stupid as a pig, do I need your credit?
Since Peake was going to do something to hurt Abayro, she couldn't sit still.
Let you see my sincerity, Joates looked at Abaylou with the rest of his eyes.
Abaylou, who was sitting in a chair and eating and drinking, also waved at her.
After an hour, Peake stood on the podium and exclaimed, "Dear guests, I will first toast you." ”
Although Pique is obscene, he is also a real earl, and the others also raise their glasses and shout: "To Count Pique." ”
"Ahem," he cleared his throat decently, "I've discovered a big secret, as a loyal nobleman of Sapphire, I must set an example!"
Here it is, getting to the point, and Joates and Abaylou staring at Abaylou.
"I've invited the commander of the Platinum Army, Sauer," a man in a tuxedo walked up to the stage as Peake introduced, "I must loudly announce that this is for everyone's safety, I found ......"
"Lord Sauer!We've found traces of the witch who killed Chief Hank!" Before he could finish speaking, Jotz's cards were played, and the centurion of the Platinum Army rushed into the banquet hall and shouted.
Sauer's face changed, this is a great achievement, and instead of making Peake continue, he rushed off the stage: "Where? We must make this man pay." ”
What!Is Chief Bishop Hank dead?
The nobles in the banquet invariably looked at the two commanders of the Platinum Army, and the scene was chaotic and bustling.
A bishop also came in through the door, and ignoring the changed face of Pique, ran to Sauer and said, "Captain Wanli is here." ”
Pique was very angry, today he should be the protagonist, but the limelight was all robbed, but it was the Holy See, and he was helpless.
"See my sincerity? Joates said to Abaylou with a wink.
"I'm curious about what's next. Abaylou replied.
"Come out with me and you'll know. ”
One of Pique's houses is opened, revealing a dark passage inside.
The Holy See is moving things out, and in addition to gold coins and other things, there are indeed other things inside... For example, the dry pot utensils used by the witch, and the strange internal organs that were soaked.
"It's the Holy See's own thing, used to discredit the witch. Fearing that Abaylou would misunderstand, Joates pointed to a pile of human skins that the Holy See had taken out.
"I know. ”
Someone in the crowd began to curse: "Damn witch, so evil. Then they all looked at Pique with hatred.
Poor Pique!
Pique's cold sweat was already soaking through his clothes, and he never knew that there was a witch's cave in his manor.
Finished. Peake sat on the ground with a dark look in his eyes.
