Chapter Twenty-Six: The Blue Tower Gold Coins
Commander Harry soon appeared with his soldiers, and the assassination in the Earl's Mansion was a slap in the face, and he was completely enraged, so that the soldiers kept blocking three streets and then began a thorough investigation.
The result was a quick one, with two Assassins, one from the Sanctuary of Silence. After the fall of the Holy See, some of the Silent Assassins joined the Shadow Clan, some became mercenaries, and a small number became Kou Chengke's killers. This group of Assassins specially trained by the Holy See to monitor and assassinate have always been the most expensive and powerful killers.
And the other assassin, who was immediately identified, was one of Aldrich's men!
Enraged, Ella directly ordered Aldridge to be arrested, and Harry did so without saying a word, and simply put Aldrich in a private prison in the Earl's Palace. I don't know if it's true or not, and I killed several of Aldrich's men on the spot on the charge of resisting arrest.
The aftermath of this incident did not end until the next morning, and the old Edward, who got up early in the morning, shook his head: "This kind of shoddy competition method is really unsightly. ”
He immediately decided to go back to the ancient capital, away from these uneducated rural aristocrats.
Even if you hire a killer, can you use your own people?
Stupidity!
"Stupid! Even if I hire a killer, I won't let my men do it! Aldrich in the dungeon screamed the same way, but no one wanted to listen.
At the suggestion of Jincheng, Ella personally sent old Edward onto the ship, and old Lynch also arranged for someone to load a whole warehouse of jewels on the ship. Surprisingly, Clarence did not show up at Edward Sr.'s farewell party.
The city of Adora seemed to calm down for a moment, and the consul was quiet and did not make a sound, and went about his work as usual. And Harry, the commander, has unknowingly taken refuge in Ella.
As the person concerned, Jin Cheng didn't care about his injuries, his body was made of the power of the World Tree, and his recovery power was amazing, as long as he didn't die, he could heal quickly. However, in order not to attract attention, Kaneshiro agreed to Ella's request, and the priest of the Church of Light in Adora City gave him a bounty healing.
The effects of bounty healing are extraordinary, and they are extremely expensive. Sometimes, the nobles found that instead of contributing to the Holy See to hire a priest, they could spend their money on hiring more powerful mercenaries, who would save more money for the same return.
After all, there was no injury to the muscles and bones, under the dual effect of the gift treatment and the power of the World Tree, Jin Cheng meditated in bed for two days and got out of bed, the wound between his waist and abdomen had grown into pink and tender fresh meat, and it was itchy for a while, but there was no big problem for him to act.
Kaneshiro suddenly became very dissatisfied with the status quo, and he was a little hesitant whether he wanted to stay in Prohai or not. Although Qiao Huel agreed to introduce him to an old friend from the space department, this is a matter of no shadow, and the time will be in a few months.
Going home has always been the most important thing for him, and a few months of time for it is nothing. But if there is still a danger to life in this, it will have to make Jincheng think about more things.
"The matter of the Lordship of Prohai must be resolved as soon as possible, this matter is a complete waste of my time!"
Kaneshiro thought angrily, and the first thing he did after getting out of bed was to go to the Church of Light in Ador.
Faced with Jincheng who came to the door, the old priest thought that there was a problem with his gift, but when Jincheng threw out the secret method detection compass from the Silent Temple, which he had found from the assassin, the priest's face sank.
It didn't take much for the pastor to confess everything he knew.
Of course, he didn't know anything about the Assassins, but as the head of the Church of Light in Ador, he was well aware of the few hiding places left behind by the Sanctuary of Silence.
The power of the Holy See of Light is not as strong as it used to be, especially in the southern region, many churches are already struggling to support, and it is impossible for the priest to let the power of the Holy See suffer a greater blow in order to break away from the assassins of the Holy See.
Jin Cheng immediately took Harry's Commander to seal these caches, which were very secretive, even though the Silent Temple branch of Adora City had long since been removed, these places have been preserved.
Unsurprisingly, Kaneshiro found traces of a recent human presence in a hideout and found a bag of gold coins.
A bag of gold blue tower coins.
The gold mine from the gold mountain plane, the Blue Tower gold coins minted from the royal dividends of King Ador, are only procured through the branch of the Puluo Chamber of Commerce in the ancient capital, and the materials are directly purchased to supply the Blue Tower gold coins of the South Bank Mage Association.
This bag of Blue Tower Gold Coins is very brand new, and the circulation characteristics of Blue Tower Gold Coins determine that such a brand new Blue Tower Gold Coin must come from the ancient capital.
"Master Clarence, do you have anything else to say?"
Kaneshiro poured the bag of gold coins on the table and interrogated Clarence with an unkind expression.
Clarence's eyelids twitched slightly, and that was because Harry's longsword was resting brazenly around his neck.
This damn Harry, he's already completely thrown himself into Ella!
Clarence sank his face and gritted his teeth, "You can't prove that I hired that killer just by relying on this bag of gold coins!" ”
"Am I the only one who has these gold coins? It's entirely possible for others too! ”
"You're slandering me!"
"That's right, so I got other witnesses." Jin Cheng nodded, stepped out of the way, and a guy with a respectful face came up.
"To introduce, this is the current head of the Puluo Chamber of Commerce, and the previous person in charge has just been executed." Jin Cheng pointed to the man.
The respectful guy immediately nodded, and said very quickly: "Lord Jin, I have checked the transaction records of all the Prolo Chamber of Commerce, and the only ones who can control this amount of Blue Tower Gold Coin are Young Master Clarence and the previous person in charge!" ”
Clarence's face changed, and he exclaimed, "Then he must have done it, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”
"You can't kill me!"
"As soon as I die, there will be no one in charge of the affairs of the Puluo Chamber of Commerce in the ancient capital!"
"Who said I'm going to kill you?" Jin Cheng said with a smile, took out a piece of parchment and slapped it on the table, "Come on, Master Clarence, this is a slave agreement, do you want me to read the entry to you?" ”
"From today on, you will become Miss Ella's slave and manage the affairs of the ancient capital for Prohai, and you will not be able to breach the contract for the rest of your life, otherwise you will ......"
Kaneshiro's smile turned dangerous, and Clarence was sweating.
The Slave Agreement was the easiest of all the contract agreements to make, especially when the target was an ordinary person like Clarence, and with the help of the Earl's Court stockpile, it only took Kinjo half a day to craft this Slave Agreement with a soul-locking effect.
Having no choice, Clarence tremblingly drew his name on the agreement, dripping blood.
"I ...... When can I go? ”
"I will go back to the ancient capital immediately, and I will use all my connections, as long as half a month......"
"No, ten days!"
"Just give me ten days, and the letter of appointment from the House of Lords will reach Prosea, and Ella will inherit the title!"
Clarence swallowed his saliva and said to Kaneshiro in fear.
Jin Cheng put away the slave contract and said with a smile: "Leave in the evening, Old Lynch has prepared a boatload of jewels, enough for you to use to urge the House of Lords to make a decision." ”
"But before that...... Mr. Pastor, please come in. Jin Cheng invited in the presiding priest of the Church of Light in Aduo City, and he pointed to the gold coins on the table and said, "Lord Pastor, how many healing techniques can you cast with these gold coins?" ”
The decline of the Holy See of Light, to some extent, is also related to the fact that the nobles were able to pay far more paladins and assassins than the Holy See.
The pastor's eyes flickered, and he calculated that these gold coins were enough to support the expenses of his church for a year, so he hesitated and said, "My divine power is a little insufficient, but I still have two students......"
"Alright then, Commander Harry, please cooperate with the priest." Kaneshiro took out a dagger and threw it to Harry, turned around and walked out of the room.
A cry of pain came from the room.
