Chapter 4: My Name Is Frostfeather (4)
Wandering through the dark alleys, avoiding the sewage on the ground, Rosentier kept the uppers of his shoes clean, and looked around from time to time, as if looking for someone.
Back at the Chamber of Commerce, seeing the mess outside, Rosentier's face was extremely dark, and only then did he know that his goods had been robbed after inquiring about the situation, and seeing the water stains left on the ground, Rosentier sighed deeply.
The knight who stayed with him shook his head together, and Krantiel rubbed his beard with a troubled look:
"It's really troublesome, it looks like you're being targeted, that little guy won't refuse our offer."
After a few dry coughs, Rosentier gave him a look of disdain.
"The dignified former White Tiger Knight, would he be afraid of a little hairy child? Your purpose is to catch him and hand it over to me afterwards. ”
The two entered the chamber of commerce, and Crantil poured himself a cup of tea and bowed his head in silence. Rosentier, who had been in a motionless position in his seat, looked at the child outside the window and opened his eyes slightly.
It's quite rare for prey to be delivered to the door.
At this moment, among the six nobles who have the most territory under the emperor, in many fields such as military power and financial resources, at least one or so is more powerful than the emperor. Because of this, Tarim Ransen is just one of the nobles in the eyes of the six nobles.
Although he purged the Ailu clan more than ten years ago, he was still unable to secure his throne because of his innocence of blood, and even Crantiel, a former White Tiger Knight, secretly colluded with Rosentier, the most powerful of the four nobles, to help him seek power and seize the throne.
But it is not excluded that the other party is someone sent by the emperor to spy on him.
Then, Rosentire's mind was reminded of a silver-haired girl.
In terms of power, the emperor's power has been almost divided among the nobles, but a few days ago, Tarim Lansen announced that he had found his lost daughter many years ago, no one knows where this daughter came from, and what is even more incredible is that she actually has the bloodline of the Light Clan, as the bloodline of the founding emperor, once the girl falls into the hands of Tarim Lansen, then his authority as an emperor will increase, and it will be he who is a nobleman who will be squeezed at that time.
Therefore, Rosentier, who hired a killer a day ago, was ready to let her assassinate the girl she had never met, and if she was protected by Klaas, who was the best knight, the battle would be fierce, and since she was known as the strongest assassin, she should be able to assassinate successfully.
Although, there is no doubt that sending Krantiel does not have to worry about intelligence leaks.
But Krantiel's age was approaching fifty, and even the strong flesh that had been trained without leaking water was about to turn into the glory of the past, and the voice and gaze like that of a bird of prey made it seem that he still had a small number of warrior residues left.
He couldn't beat Klaas, who was called the best knight of the year, in a heads-up situation, probably.
As a warrior, he lost to aging, but as a strategist, he made up for his shortcomings.
What he needs to do should be something more important.
When the girl is dealt with, and then the genius magic chanter Frost Feather is enlisted, his strength will be further improved, and it will not be long before he can replace the emperor and control most of the power of the empire.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the servant next to him immediately ran to open the door, followed by an answering sound, and Peng Di closed the door.
"Lord Lawson, a merchant said he wanted to see you, but he looked like a child, I don't know?"
Rosentier and Crantiel immediately got up, and Crantiel sat down again with a smile.
"The prey has been delivered."
"Let him in."
Rosentier's expression melted, the tips of his eyes drooped, and the corners of his mouth were undeservedly warm. It was only a moment from seriousness to intimacy.
Pushing open the door, Frost Feather, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, carried a bag, although the grain in the bag was an inferior product obtained for free from the tavern owner, but at the same time, Frost Feather was also mixed with a large amount of high-quality grain.
"Hello Rosen-sama, my name is Frost Cold."
Frost Feather used a pseudonym, because his name had been introduced to the imperial capital, and Emperor Tarim Lansen and many nobles knew about this genius boy who could use first-order magic at the age of fourteen, but his face had never been seen before.
The immature voice that he had never heard, Rosentier and Krantier looked at it together, and there were no stains on the tender face, which made Rosentier not believe that he had lived in such a place since he was a child.
"I don't know about you...... What do you want to trade with me? ”
"I heard that Lord Lawson came to buy grain today, but it seems that he was robbed? I don't know if the adults still collect the grain, I have a little grain that I hoarded before, and the price is according to the decision of the Chamber of Commerce, one hundred copper coins, how about it? ”
Saying this, Rosentier looked at the immature Frost Feather, and it was funny to say, the robbers robbed him of his money, and then sold his own materials in turn? Rosentier sneered at this:
"Frost Feather, fourteen years old this year, was born on September 7, 19533 in the imperial calendar, was identified as the best student in magic on October 25, 1957, and learned the first order of magic on November 5, 1954, and achieved such an achievement in only eleven days, it can indeed be called a genius."
"You investigate me?"
Rosentier didn't answer, just drank the tea on the table lightly, and just when the room fell silent to the point of impatience, Rosentier broke the silence.
"Not only that, but I also know that it was you who caused the previous commotion."
“...... What do you mean. ”
Frostfeather took a step back, only to see that the door she had entered earlier had been blocked by Krantiel.
"I've come here to buy grain for one thing, and the other thing is because of you, I think, you joined the Academy of Magic in the name of the Rosen family, and Lozfar will teach you personally, so you don't have to worry about that."
Rosentier gives the impression of speaking calmly and unhurriedly, as if a negotiator is on a battlefield called negotiation.
“......”
"The pay is very objective."
Seeing that Frost Feather didn't answer, Rosentier added, still in the same tone, so that people couldn't hear the purpose.
"What's in it for you."
Frostfeather, who was carrying Crantiel on his back and facing Rosentier, said coldly, letting out an annoying laugh, and Frostfeather threw out a cold mockery.
"Sir, I don't want to be a lackey of the nobility."
As soon as these words came out, the hatred of the servants around him could be seen everywhere, and Rosentier did not stop it, because Frost Feather, who was born as a civilian, scolded his people in front of him.
If Frostfeather nodded and accepted it, then it would be favored by Rosentier, but Frostfeather hated the nobility, and Rosentier could only frown at this.
"The information they gave me didn't say that you hated nobles."
