Chapter 59: The Trumpet of the East (Part II)
"Did you hear that? The Emperor is ready to crusade against the East! "Instead of the usual hustle and bustle, the Knight's Tavern has become very oppressive. People whispered to each other, looking nervous. And someone who got the news from somewhere actually said that the kingdom was going to start a war against the East.
And someone in the tavern immediately came out to refute the rumors, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Lao Tzu went to Caesarea with the kingdom four years ago, do you know how many people died?" How could the kingdom go on a crusade again? ”
However, there are also people who are not convinced by the rebuttal and stand up, "How is it impossible? You don't see that the Seljuk barbarians are already eyeing the other side of the Storm Strait, and if you want me to say that Your Majesty will definitely launch a crusade to give those people a good look. ”
Constance Dante looked coldly at these men, some of whom came from foreign lands and lived as mercenaries, and some of whom were merchants, wandering from country to country speculating for profit. Both are profit-seekers, like leeches that smell blood, but the former craves war, while the latter is very different. For Cons, Dante may have been a little touching, but the so-called empire in Nicaea was nothing more than a false and nominal empire.
He had no connection with the nobles, and all he wanted now was to break free from the whirlpool of Constantinople.
In the past few days, Constance Dante has been visiting here, and the rickety old man Oliver has not been talking to him, so Constance Dante is bent on inquiring about Andrew's whereabouts. Although looking for a needle in a haystack, in a place like this, where the three religions and nine streams gather, there are still clues that can be found so that the mud cow does not enter the sea.
"Haven't any strangers been to Findall?" The man dressed as a homeless man drank all the rum in his cup and thought about it in one gulp, and he didn't mumble in his mouth: "It stands to reason that it is already in ruins, and no outsiders want to come in, let me think about it・・・・・・"
Constance Dante had to wait patiently, and now he had to put his hope in this man.
"A young man about my age, wooden, very thin. Or maybe something different has been there. Constance Dante asked, trying to make the man remember.
"By the way, I remembered when you said that," the man suddenly slapped his head, "There are a few strange people who have been there, mainly because the little white face at the head looks like a big family in the upper city, so I remember." As for the person you said, I really didn't say anything, I don't think so. But it's not surprising that the group never came out after they entered Findall. The man looked at Constance Dante nervously, and although he did not help the person Constance Dante was looking for, at least he knew what he had said.
Constance Dante seemed a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything more, if it wasn't for the conditions, he would definitely go to Findel.
Several waves of people were sent away, but Andrew's news was not revealed at all, as if the world had evaporated, and Andrew's traces were erased by an invisible hand. Cons, Dante's eyes were cloudy, and the situation was somewhat out of his control.
He didn't think about lingering, and hurriedly got up to leave the Knight's Tavern, but there were several stout men blocking the way in front of the door.
"Cons Dante, we've been waiting for you for a long time." The man grinned ugly, and the faces of several people were full of ill will.
Constance Dante looked at these strong men who were a head taller than himself, their hands were full of calluses, and at first glance it was the reason for holding guns all year round, with wide joints and strong physiques, obviously not ordinary ruffians.
"Did Miss Granny send you?" Constance Dante guessed their identities at once, whether it was the details of their appearance or the expression of their movements, Constance Dante could tell at a glance that the other party was from the military camp, and the only thing that could be related to himself and the army was the conflict with Granny.
As soon as Constance Dante's words were spoken, the men's faces changed instantly, and it was obvious that Constance Dante was surprised by revealing their identities. But they quickly returned to normal, although the identity of the other party was recognized, but it was no big problem for them, and they were not prepared to hide in the first place.
"Yes, it was Miss Granny who asked us to teach you a lesson." Although they did not know what was wrong with the daughter of the noble duke and this shabby-dressed young man, they naturally had to act according to their orders as subordinates.
"Do you know why Granny wants you to teach me a lesson?" Constance Dante suddenly asked, looking at the young man's calm and composed, several big men couldn't help but put down their fists in curiosity.
Constance Dante took a deep breath, looked at a few strong men seriously, and said: "Although I upset Granny, I still ・・・・・・ with her" Speaking of this, Constance Dante suddenly hesitated.
"Whatever, the eldest lady gave the order anyway." Seeing that Constance Dante raised his fist again and was about to fight, these reasons were actually not important to them rough people. I was a little curious about these things as a joke, and I didn't immediately move roughly.
"Emotional." After a pause, Constance Dante spoke anyway.
"Wait what are you talking about!?" In an instant, the mouths of several big men turned O-shaped, even more shocking than when Constance Dante told them their identities just now. Luckily, the tavern was already noisy, so no one's attention was drawn. Listening to what this kid meant, it seems that he has some inexplicable entanglement with the eldest lady of the Andrews family, so it's okay?
Constance Dante said with a complicated expression: "I also know that there is a gap in identity between us, so I have to leave her, this is the best ending." But I didn't expect Granny to send you out. Constance Dante was calm and calmly making up nonsense, and acting was also a necessary skill for him, so he could quickly adapt to various identities.
"Really・・・・・・?"
"Yes, I think the eldest lady of the Andrews family will be disgraced because of who I am, so I chose to break up." Constance Dante did not change his face in response to the other party's suspicions.
Now Constance Dante can only gamble, Granny did not tell these people the details of the matter, otherwise, with their size, Cons Dante without mecha is really a fish on the knife.
But can this flawed lie really fool these people? Cons Dante knew it was a risk. But can these simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs really think so deeply?
Several men looked at each other. Suddenly, he suddenly placed his heavy palm on Constance Dante's shoulder, almost crushing Constance Dante's thin body.
"It's a man!" Several men gave a thumbs up at the same time, and for Miss Andrews, they knew her wayward temper. And Cons Dante's ability to recognize them at a glance also dispelled many of their suspicions.
"If you let the Duke know, your body will probably float on the Golden Horn. Although love failed, it was a wise move. The men patted Conses Dante on the shoulder and said.
Constance Dante had a black line on his face, and he didn't expect it to be fooled by this, but Granny's reputation doesn't seem to be good anywhere! Constance Dante sneered slightly.
"But since the eldest lady sent us, we can't help but complete the task. So you still have to leave a mark on your body," the rude man laughed and patted Constance Dante on the back, almost pushing Constance Dante to a stumbling side.
I didn't expect it to be so ruthless!?
But Constance Dante still had a good time to say: "Think about it, although Granny asked you to teach me a lesson, but after all, she is only angry for a moment, if you do something to me, if she is angry, what do you say will happen to you." It's a completely unflattering thing. Why don't I go home and pretend to be injured, and you just go on an errand, isn't it good for everyone? Constance Dante didn't expect to be so flamboyant, but now he had to work hard with these people whose brains were full of muscles.
Sure enough, their faces showed hesitation, don't say, if this kid really becomes the uncle of the Andrews family, then he will not be unlucky. Several people discussed it and nodded at the same time.
"Okay, we can let you go, but you should never tell anyone about it. Also・・・・・・ we've done you so much, you have to mean it! ”
Knowing that this was Constance, Dante breathed a sigh of relief, "Then thank you." Cons, Dante, poured out the few gold coins from his bag and said, "This money will be used to buy you wine and drink." ”
"You're smart." Dahan smiled slightly, took the gold coins and put them in his pocket, and beckoned the brothers, "Let's go, we can also go to Shangcheng today to enjoy ourselves." ”
Looking at the backs of the men, Constance Dante's expression returned to normal indifference, and he muttered to himself: "This woman is really troublesome, it seems that she can only let me go if she hides in the academy for a while and doesn't come out!" "If Granny knew about today's events, that proud lady would be so angry that she wanted to kill herself! Constance Dante couldn't help but smile at his prank.
It's been a long time since I've been so happy!
