Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Gate of the Abyss! Chapter 11: The Battle of Talents! (4)

Despite being a temporary residence. But the place where the Black Widow lives is exquisite and luxurious. This made the nobles who came and went very hot. Envious.

The ordinary aristocracy guarded the rich manors and fertile land. There is also a good income every year. But that's just land, after all. No matter how good the harvest is. No matter how much you reap. Only grain and plants come out. Leaving enough to feed the peasants and family members. There is also a part that must be handed over to the monarch. Then the rest can go to trade and exchange money finances. Equip the Knight Servant. Form a noble guard. Build and maintain castles. Attend a large banquet. Therefore, some nobles who seem to be glamorous are often unable to make ends meet. Some of them often have accounts that have been mortgaged for years. Or even the harvest more than a dozen years later. In the end, it is likely to be reduced to selling off the land. Become a rundown nobleman with nothing but the top title.

But Black Widow is different. All the nobles who knew the details of this woman knew it. She is sitting on mountains of gold. Although her land is barren. However, it has many rare deposits and magic crystals. It was the legacy of her father, Namero, who had been the head of the Monks' Order. Although it is inevitable that a woman with such amazing wealth will be coveted. is a very dangerous thing. But she's very good at business. I also know how to deal with interpersonal relationships at the top. What's more. Since her father's death. She provides a large number of magic crystals and ores to the Mage Guild for free every year. No lord would have been so generous with this land as she was. Lednoisa, the Mage's master, once praised her as a wise woman.

But in Charlemagne's opinion. This woman is more than smart. It's a combination of a politician's scheming and a businessman's shrewdness.

Since the age of fourteen. Black Widow's husband, whom she had never met, died in a drunken fall from a horse. She hadn't talked about her marriage for ten years. This made many nobles who had the hope of plundering beauty and wealth constantly offer their hospitality. Embark on a love offensive. And the black widow shuttles constantly among these men who can be called the nobles of the mainland. And everyone can feel that they are approaching the final step. It's just a little bit of a success. But no one has been able to break this situation so far. But these people have no complaints. This is what makes people most surprised and admired.

Sit in the hall of the Black Widow's Mansion. Charlemagne sneered. Deal with such a woman. The method of those aristocratic little white faces is not to use the land at all. His logic. It's a fist!

Only with the most direct. The most primitive. The most violent way. can make this woman obediently obey. Use those roundabout words and communicative behaviors. Those so-called style and etiquette. It's all about binding itself. but a shackle that binds hands and feet. It's ridiculous that the pretentious fools don't see that.

"Vice President Charlemagne. Since you have deigned to come to my mansion. That's my guest. Would you please invite you to our dinner? There are things we can talk about later. Black Widow was not at all surprised by Charlemagne's inexplicable visit. The words also show the bearing of a high-ranking female noblewoman.

"No need!" Charlemagne was not of aristocratic origin. He doesn't have that much politeness and exquisiteness. Instead, he said bluntly: "I am looking for you to discuss an important matter. I'll leave right away when it's done. lest thou defile thy rich, clean dwelling. "Between words. His thick frame seemed to twist uncomfortably. The precious silk cushions brought from the Far East under him were ravaged.

The black widow was veiled and had no expression on her face. But the two dark blue eyes flashed. Let out a pleasant laugh and say, "Vice President Charlemagne has a bold personality. I admire it. Please speak. As long as you can help. I won't say no. ”

"Then I won't dwell on it. Charlemagne lifted his buttocks. Dragged the wooden chair forward a little. Rubbed his hands together again. Hehe smiled: "I want a teleportation item that can send at least three people out of this city at the same time." Well. Of course. I won't take your stuff for nothing. It will be exchanged for an equivalent benefit. ”

The black widow's slender and beautiful eyebrows are raised. She groaned. Seems to be thinking. And then to put it mildly, "You know." I'm not just a nobleman. And also a businessman. So I'd love to hear your equivalent. What do you mean?"

Charlie waved his hand. "Ten years of pro bono service in the mercenary union. What do you think?"

Black Widow smiled. She looked at Charlemagne. Said: "Although the mercenary guild has power all over the continent. But. One is that I don't lack this little money. The second is that I don't think pro bono service is better than paid service. At least. They won't work harder than they used to. Thirdly. She smiled. "If I really want this result." In the early years, I tried to get it. It doesn't have to be impossible. ”

"So. What about my personal friendship?" Charlemagne seemed to have anticipated this outcome. So the second condition was thrown up without any delay.

Black Widow was stunned. Then her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She knew that the question seemed nonchalant. But the answer is not good. It is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble. So she thought about it carefully. In the end, he shook his head. "I'm sorry. If it was a few days ago. Maybe I wouldn't hesitate to say yes. But now. I don't hide it from you. I only have one item in my hand for the time being that can teleport three people at the same time. Therefore. For your requirements. I can only say sorry. ”

Charlemagne, however, didn't seem to mind. He laughed. After the laughter stopped. He had a strange look on his face. Said slowly: "So." What about Lord Angus Gale's kindness?

"What, Lord Angus Gale?" the Black Widow shuddered slightly. This time she was really surprised. She stared at Charlemagne. After a moment, she smiled faintly. "So." How much does this kindness weigh?"

Charlemagne said hesitantly: "Now I can't produce enough evidence to convince you." But since you say you're a businessman. Then I guess there is a condition that you will definitely be interested in. Masquerade banquet. You've probably heard of it, right?"

"Masquerade banquet. There was a flowing flash of brilliance in Black Widow's blue eyes. I could hear that her tone was not calm.

The Masquerade Banquet is the largest black market rally on the mainland. The participants all have prominent backgrounds and rich net worth. It can be said that everyone's financial resources are not below Black Widow. There are even seas far beyond. All of them are among the local members who participate. You can enjoy a lot of hidden trade secrets and information. And the rewards of trade between members are unimaginable. Black Widow tried several times but couldn't get into the group. No wonder she reacted like that.

"The masquerade banquet only recognizes masks. By chance. I got one. Charlemagne pulled a golden mask from his bosom. He handed it to the Black Widow and said, "It must be in your hands." than with me. can play a bigger role. ”

Black Widow frowned and glanced at the mask. Awe-inspiring in my heart. She seemed to have heard that the person who had kidnapped the little girl in front of the temple square that day was wearing a golden mask. Glancing at each other. Her beautiful chest rose and fell. In fact. Charlemagne's conditions are very generous. And to get enough benefits. Of course, you have to take the same amount of risk. She knew that. Nodding. "Okay." We make deals. ”

She smiled. "Wait a minute. I'll go get what you want. She stood up. Turn around and walk towards the inner room.

Just this move. Charlemagne sneered. He knew Black Widow was lying. If there is only one thing left that is so important. How could she not have it with her. But now the result is still acceptable. Although he was ready to do it before coming here. But the mansion was heavily defended. If you don't get your hands on it, it can be troublesome if you don't restrain Black Widow at once. So he won't take this step until he has to.

Black Widow turned back in a few moments. on her hands. Holding a delicate metal box. Charlemagne's fierce-looking eyes gradually lit up. Then. One of the servants was outside, but said, "Ma'am." There's a pastor out there who wants to see you. He said it was your friend. ”

"Pastor, my friend?" the black widow snapped. She glanced at Charlemagne. I thought about it. "It's the priest in the temple." Or which bishop's subordinate?"

According to himself. It was from the Bishop of Landiston. ”

"Bishop Landiston?" Black Widow had wanted to ask the priest to wait. At this time, he hesitated. If this priest has the goodwill of Bishop Lantiston. If you refuse, it will inevitably seem a little sluggish. She apologized: "Vice President Charlemagne......"

"It doesn't matter. I said I'd take my things and leave immediately. Charlemagne stood up unconcerned. Take the metal box. I opened it up and took a look. He nodded in satisfaction. Hey. "So." Mrs. Sehir. Farewell. Things went so well. Charlemagne walked out the door in a good mood. It's time to get out of the corridor gate. A white-robed priest is being led by a servant. He glanced nonchalantly. After a few steps out, his steps staggered. Huo Ran turned around. "Stop!"

The boy turned around inexplicably. Look at this strange burly man.

"Is that you?" said Charlemagne's eyes. It's like a hungry eagle that has been wandering in the sky for a long time and finally finds its prey.

"Do you know me?" the young man's eyes were full of doubt.

"I know you!" Charlemagne nodded emphatically. He smiled wryly. Then he reached out. He said to himself, "It seems that my luck is really good today." Although it is enough to have that little girl. But with you. That's even more perfect. ”

The boy was a little confused at first. But when I heard the other party say the word "little girl". It stirred up his sensitive nerves at once. I reacted immediately. The flexible limbs he had developed in the mercenary team allowed him to dodge backwards in time to avoid the grab. Charlemagne was stunned. Then he laughed and took a step forward. The entire corridor seemed to be filled with his tall figure at this time.

"Stop. Vice President Charlemagne. This is my guest. Please don't do anything here!" the figure of Black Widow appeared at the other end of the corridor. She said coldly, "Since you have already taken the teleportation crystal. Whatever your grievances are. Please also go out of my mansion and solve it separately. "Teleportation Crystal?" the boy glanced at the metal box in Charlemagne's hand. Suddenly, I seemed to understand something. His expression was agitated and angry. The whole person opened his arms and took the initiative to pounce. At the same time, he shouted, "Don't give it to him!"
