Chapter 18: A Sudden Meeting (2-in-1)

Heiliga's question made the two of them stunned for a moment. They were just talking about some luxury goods. I thought that this kind of conversation and joke would continue, but I didn't expect Hailiga to suddenly change the conversation and point the topic to a certain nobleman.

"Hmm...... That's right. By the way, I seem to have seen you talking to him just now? One of the golden-haired aristocratic youths said, "That man has always been like that." ”

"Has it always been? It's hard to imagine. I think with his personality, if he comes forward to talk to people about business, it will be difficult to continue the conversation. Could it be that someone else in his family is in charge of this, and he is in charge of some things like logistics and tidying? ”

"Hmm...... This doesn't seem to be the case. I remember seeing him deal and negotiate with foreign suppliers a few times before. The blonde nobleman showed a thoughtful expression, and then it seemed as if he had suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I seem to have heard the elders of the family talk about it...... It's a rumor about the Count of Hertha. ”

"What rumors?" Heliga asked with some eagerness, and then seemed to notice that he was a little too impatient, so in order not to arouse suspicion, he coughed secretly, adjusted his expression, and pretended to be just curious about such gossip rumors.

Fortunately, the two nobles were complete fools, just like the one they had encountered during their previous internship, and they didn't notice any of the unnaturalness in Helriga, let alone let their guard down. Heiliga showed a strong interest, probably to curry favor with Hailiga, the young master of Haidu who seemed to have a good relationship with Jusis, and the two of them naturally began to think desperately, "Ah, the elders seem to have sighed that Count Hertha was a very cheerful and talkative man when he was young, and originally his family was the title of viscount, but because of the contribution of Count Hertha and his father to Baryahat, and because they have indeed been here for nearly two hundred years- So the Duke of Elbare elevated his title to the rank of count, and His Majesty the Emperor recognized this. ”

"Wait...... Are you saying that, after becoming an earl, the Count of Hertha became what he is now? Heliga heard what the two men meant.

"yes...... But that's probably not very credible. The blonde nobleman scratched his head and continued, "It was about seven or eight years ago...... I can't remember the specifics. However, although he is very strange now, it is said that at least in business he is still very credible, and there is no other problem other than becoming a bad word, so everyone gradually does not care about this matter. ”

"Seven or eight years ago...... At that time, I hadn't left the circle around my hometown, so I had no way of knowing what was going on. Helliga shook her head, thinking to herself, "But, since I already know that he has been to Paradise - at that time, Paradise must have not been swept away by the forces of the Society, and still existed somewhere in the world." ”

What's more, the Count of Hertha's personality changed dramatically from that time - referring to what "Paradise" did to those children who suffered all kinds of suffering, I am afraid that it is not incorrect. If he remembered correctly, Joachim's notes also seem to mention that Paradise would provide special services to those who came to the world from all over the world, if that included special medicines to enhance physical pleasure -

"That...... Excuse me, is there anything wrong with what I said? Seeing that Helica's face began to change subtly, the blonde nobleman seemed to be starting to panic a little.

"That's why I said it all, tell you not to talk nonsense." His companion gloated, "This kind of story is just a rumor at best." ”

"Yes......" Helliga came back to his senses, the information the two men had provided was not necessarily accurate, and they had indeed said that it was just a possibility cobbled together from their own memories. If you want to confirm it further, "It's all rumors...... However, your storytelling skills are quite high, and I was a little fascinated by what I listened to just now. ”

"Well...... I think so. The man listened to Hyliga's flattery and said triumphantly, "Speaking of which, how about telling us the story of Haidu?" Is there anything like that, urban legends? ”

"Hmm...... In Haidu's case, it seems that there are few rumors about this. Heliga cautiously said something he knew better, "If you have to say it, it's probably the ...... of Count Florald's family?" ”

Florald ...... I remember this name as a very famous nobleman in the Haidu area, right? Ran a large trade-related company. The nobleman recalled.

"Yes...... The Florald family is sort of Ordis's coffers—at least that's what Kane said. If Kane heard this, he would have shouted something like "I didn't say that," Heiliga thought to himself, "but it seems that because of the existence of a new type of chamber of commerce supported by the reformers, such as the "Kleist" in the imperial capital, it is currently suffering quite a huge blow. In addition, because the former city of Julai was also merged into an autonomous prefecture by the imperial government, trade routes were further restricted...... Anyway, the Earl's family seems to have had a lot of trouble lately. Naturally, these rumors were the result of Hyliga's usual casual conversation from Alyssa, who had a good relationship with Florald's daughter, Phyllis, who belonged to the same club.

"Looks like we don't get any more information." Heliga was a little regretful, but out of caution, he really didn't fit to ask further questions—if he only pretended to be interested in rumors and gossip. After the conversation, he was a little absent-minded, and finally slipped away under the pretext of seeing other acquaintances.

"Haha, looks like you're having a great time." As Heliga walked among the other nobles, thinking about his next course of action, a bold voice suddenly came from his ear. Following the prestige, it turned out to be Count Gotti, who was gently shaking half a glass of mead in his hand, looking at himself with a spring on his face.

"Ah...... Count Gotti. Although it happened suddenly, Heliga did not respond unnaturally, "I don't see you here...... In fact, I'm looking for Eussis. ”

"He's probably scribbling to the others...... Needless to say, Lord Helmut, even Lufas-kun was overlooking the whole situation from the sky at this time, and the burden on Young Master Jusis would not be light. Count Gotti said.

"With great power comes great responsibility." Heliga said softly.

"yes...... Master Jusis is not a man who is afraid of challenges...... Rather, during the time he was temporarily in charge of the capital, I did not seem to see any difference from the time when His Excellency Helmut was there, and he was still as prosperous as ever. Count Goti nodded, "But ...... It just so happened that the Count of Ammancia was telling me about you—"

It was only with Count Gotti's words that Helriga suddenly realized that the nobleman beside him who also looked extraordinary—wasn't this the person who had just spoken to Count Hertha? Heiliga thought to herself, it seems that her guess just now was not wrong.

However, it seems that this person is much more difficult to deal with than the guy just now. Asking directly will inevitably arouse suspicion, and even if it is a side knock, I am afraid that such a person will easily notice - this time it is more like a trap than an opportunity.

"I'll admit it, at the beginning, I really didn't know ......" The man named Count Ammancia, with a faint smile on his face, took the initiative to reach out to Heliga, "saved the imperial capital...... There are even rumors of the hero who saved the fortress of Garelian from fire and water...... It turned out to be here. ”

"Whew...... Fortunately, I didn't rush to do it just now. Hearing this, Heliga couldn't help but secretly rejoice - the Count of Ammancia, even knowing that these news had been suppressed by the official media and intelligence services, proved that his position was absolutely extraordinary. In a sense, he seems to be better versed in the surrounding world than Count Gotti.

"Hmm...... What kind of rumor is that? Heiliga did not admit it, nor did she rush to deny it, but wanted to hear what the Count of Amencia had to say. He politely responded to the other person's etiquette by reaching out his hand and shaking it briefly.

"Where...... What happened in the Garelian Fortress is a secret, and even I don't know any details, except that I know that the special class that Master Jusis is in is involved. Count Amencia said nonchalantly, "As for what happened in the imperial capital...... I was there at the time. The scene at that time, to be honest, was really scary - Her Royal Highness was almost taken captive by that group of thieves. ”

"......" This guy is really difficult to deal with—Heliga thought to himself, not only did he not get any useful information after this inquiry, but he was even more unable to respond to the other party's reply. Was he really in the "Park of Our Lady"? I didn't have any impression at all, and originally, at that time, my eyes were completely on the princess Elfin who was the direct threat target of the terrorists.

"I even know about our VII class...... Haha, just now, in order not to get into trouble, when I talked to my noble colleagues here, they all pretended to be Jusses's classmates, but they were from somewhere else. After thinking about it, Heliga still decided to take the initiative - knowing the existence of Class VII, and it seems to know a lot of things, this already shows that this person is not simple, "It seems that His Excellency Count Ammancia's intelligence network is really well-connected...... No wonder he and Count Gotti are known as the twin walls of the business world. ”

"Haha...... Where, how can I compare with Count Goti? Count Amencia laughed out loud, "It's just that he has a good personal relationship with Lufas, one of the board of directors of your school—and he only reluctantly mentioned the involvement of Master Jusis in this matter under my soft grinding." ”

"I see...... A friend of His Excellency Rhoas. Speaking of which, Lord Lufas, it seems that he is also currently fighting in the west with the Duke of Kane to suppress the regular army there? ”

"yes...... The battle situation in the west is much more fierce than ours, and the regular army there seems to have been forced a little too anxious by the "Golden Rakshasa ", and has now entered the stage of desperate defense regardless of returns, and the current output input for their encirclement and suppression is less efficient than terrible, and it seems that the offensive has been slightly hindered. This time it was Count Gotti who interjected, "Because of this, our business will be a little unsmooth." ”

"Yes...... My hometown has also been affected to a greater or lesser extent. Heliga nodded, "The flow of materials is not good...... Fortunately, some mutual aid agreements have been signed with Regram recently, so that things can get better. ”

"Haha...... Thank you very much. Count Goeti smiled heartily, "After the war is over, the restrictions on trade and all kinds of movement will be lifted again—and by then, the empire will surely be better off without the hindrance of the reformers." ”

Then came some pointless pleasantries and simple conversations—Count Gotti once again praised Count Ammancia for his inflexible stubbornness, and then nothing more than words about wanting to be more refined in Tolz—and Heliga responded with the polite words he had prepared. Eventually, Jusis ended his conversation with the other nobles, and came to "rescue" the entangled Heliga, and the two went to the place where the former Count Hertha was - the Count of Hertha himself was gone, leaving only a table, on which the snacks and drinks were barely touched, and it was obvious that he had no heart to enjoy it at all.

"Count of Amancia...... What an old fox. Heliga whispered to Jusse to keep it from the others.

"He has a good relationship with his brother...... This is the first time I've heard of this. However, my brother did seldom tell me these things. Heliga briefly described the little information he had just gotten, which surprised Jusis a little, "Maybe he also has some contact with Count Gotti and their circle." After all, when it comes to being a noble leader, my brother is much better than me. ”

While the two young men were chatting with each other, the Count of Amancia's somewhat measured gaze swept sharply towards this direction, but quickly shifted his gaze.

Her Royal Highness the Princess—is she hiding next to such a person? It was a bit of a surprise. Although I don't know if he has any bad intentions when he appears here this time, it seems that there is nothing special at present.

As for the matter that Lufas had given him to confess, just in case, he would have asked again as a confirmation. After all, in those words just now, it was completely thorough and true, that is, he did, on the day of the attack on the Midsummer Festival of the Imperial Capital, in the Holy Mother Park of the Imperial Capital, he witnessed the scene of the young man in front of him directly tearing the demonic beast to pieces with an unknown force.

Leave aside the other issues - the power is genuine. Without complete certainty, he didn't dare to take any risks.
