172 Merry & Lenardo
An hour later, an ugly-looking Ciri left Pitt City Castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he had expected it, when Pompeit talked about the Camellia Chamber of Commerce, he still felt deeply humiliated!
"Lord Siri, I know that there is some misunderstanding between you and that Chamber of Commerce, but in the battle to seize the territory that has been led and occupied for many years, don't you think it is important to be able to get the support of the Siege Society? Even if you suffer a little grievance for this, isn't it still serving your own monarch? ”
These are Pombert's exact words. This guy is so loyal that he is completely stupid! In the past, Ciri didn't hate this kind of person, after all, he was able to escape from the continent of Tren to the continent of Loth, and it was all thanks to those loyal men. But now, he hated Pompey's foolish loyalty to that Zigra IX!
Reconcile yourself with the Camellia Chamber of Commerce? How can it be that easy? That's right, Pompeit can say that, after all, he is the Marquis of the Kingdom of Zigra! The greatest nobleman under the king! There was a conflict, and the Chamber of Commerce only made him aggrieved at most, and he could only suffer a little grievance! But what about Tasiri? What is a small baron who doesn't even have a territory? He can be wronged, but will the other party let him go because of this?
Enraged, Ciri went straight to the military camp set up in the city. However, this is not his own military camp, but the military camp of Mei Li, the former leader of the Black Panther Mercenary Regiment. He was going to find the old woman. In Zhenxi City, Jador had promised to jump his men at will, but in fact, apart from Roger, an old drunkard, only his friends had joined his troops. Without him, Siri is just a baron no matter how he says it, and staying under Jador's hands undoubtedly nourishes a lot, for example, the previous chief, as long as he hasn't died in battle, has become a chief. As for the original Bai Commander, he also directly became the commander of the legion.
The same is true for Mei Li, in the early days, her mercenary group was only a holy place in everyone's eyes, and now the situation is similar. In other people's legions, there are only two or three hundred female soldiers at most, but among her legions, there are still all female soldiers, and even the three thousand auxiliary soldiers accompanying the army can't find a few male soldiers.
"Huh? Isn't this Lord Siri? Rare guests! Rare guests! Did you come to me and fall in love with that girl again? Don't worry, just by virtue of the name of the mad baron, as long as you speak, I have nothing to disagree with. ”
Mei Li is still Mei Li, although the clothes on her body are a lot more gorgeous, but she is still so dignified and temperamental. "I've taken a fancy to you, I don't know if you agree?"
Merry couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Little brat, I'm enough to be your mother, and you're still joking like that? Say, you came to me this time, what's the matter. ”
"I want you to help me investigate the camellia chamber in this city."
"You just entered the city, you are restless, is the Chamber of Commerce provoking you?"
"That's right, they're investigating me, so I'd like to check it out and see if there's any need for this chamber of commerce to stay."
The flat tone, but the killing intent behind it, even Mei Li, who had been an assassin for many years, couldn't help but be moved. Perhaps, the constant war has made this kid more determined and more and more temperamental. In her heart, Mei Li said this to her son, but on the surface, she still maintained her usual elegance.
"Young man, why are you so angry? The other party is just investigating you, and you are going to eradicate them in the entire chamber of commerce? ”
This sentence is completely a temptation of Siri. However, it is not Merry to test Ciri's attitude towards herself, but to prove his previous speculation about Cieri!
Ciri smiled.
"Aunt Merry, do you have the impression that I am such a domineering person? I will tell you only one thing, this chamber of commerce once organized two brigades of private soldiers to participate in the battle against my troops, and the spoils of war almost exceeded the annual tax of an earl. ”
"So, you're in it for the money?"
"For money? Am I that kind of person? Don't forget, I'm just a little baron, and a chamber of commerce like Camellia that can keep private soldiers in captivity and has deep pockets will look at people like me? I let them go, will they let me go? ”
"Understood. I can't imagine that at my age, you can see things clearly. Merry sighed and smiled at Ciri again. Boy, I've got you covered, but when I get a knighthood, I'm automatically retiring from the Dark Professionals' Guild. If you want to do this, you must first give me a thousand Zigra gold coins to clear the way. ”
Ciri nodded, took out a gold bar equivalent to five thousand Zigra gold coins from the storage ring, and handed it to Merry. "Auntie, I hired them for three months to keep them on the lookout for everything about the city of Betnes and the battle in Zigra. You know, these days the nobles are arguing about the city, and I want to get some information about the king. ”
"Investigate the king? Celery, haven't you always been afraid of heaven and earth? I'm starting to get timid. ”
"No, after all, Betnes City is too far away from us, and if something happens, we should be prepared, right?"
Ciri smiled and got up to say goodbye, Merry was his own, he didn't distrust the other party, but there was no need to tell her everything.
When he returned to his barracks quarters, he saw his boss, Count Lenardo, sitting on the sofa waiting for him, when he came in. Lenardo couldn't help but snort.
"Lord Siri, the rules of your military camp are really strict enough, and I also know that the guards are doing their duty, but do they keep their bosses out of the door?"
"I'm sorry Lord Lenaldo, there was a nasty ghost in the afternoon, and the guards were afraid of continuing to be blamed by me, so they did this to you."
Leonardo's face softened slightly. "Alright, come with me. You've heard what Pombert said, right? The only top chamber of commerce in the Principality of Kante, the Camellia Chamber of Commerce, set up a banquet, and you and I have to go to the banquet. ”
It's that idiot chamber of commerce again! Hearing the name again, Ciri almost went berserk again. "Lord Lenaldo, didn't I tell you? The 10,000 gold coins I gave you earlier were found from the private soldiers of that chamber of commerce. Besides, I'm not a recruiter anymore, so why do I have to go? ”
"Maybe they think you're the best at fighting? That's right, right? ”
Lenardo smiled. Although he didn't care at all, whether the other party really accepted the idea. "Ciri, I really don't understand, a chamber of commerce is on the pole to send you money, why do you just pay attention to small things? Do you think that a chamber of commerce, which is all ordinary people, has the ability to confront the aristocracy? ”
You're right, not only did they do that, but the people who took up the position of heroes, both in number and in the quality of the treasures, are higher than the so-called nobles in your mouth! Ciri couldn't help but exclaim in her heart. He seemed to understand that maybe it was because of the nobles with this kind of cognition that such an all-encompassing chamber of commerce would be born, but unfortunately, I can't help but I can't wait for them to meet Xirui, he is also a nobleman, but he will never allow such a dangerous chamber of commerce to continue to exist! (To be continued.) )
