Chapter 224: Lord Earl's Purpose
Entering the library, Han Yuliang asked the little maid to make a cup of fine black tea, and then invited Earl Arthur and Alice to the director's room.
The moment she entered the curator's room, Alice, who was crying, returned to her normal expression in an instant.
The speed at which the expression switched almost made Han Yuliang hallucinate.
"Doesn't seem surprised at all?" Count Arthur smiled when he saw Han Yuliang's expression as usual.
Han Yuliang shrugged: "Alice knows that I am a member of the Freelance Association, and of course she also knows that the rules of the Association are that you are not allowed to use your real name during work. I can't think of any reason why I would have come all the way to question me like this!"
"What's more, it's even more unreasonable that you, Lord Earl, accompanied Alice to me to question this question during the critical period of the battle for the city lord. So the only explanation is that you have other purposes. I can't say that your father and daughter are mentally retarded at the same time, can I?"
Alice glanced at Han Yuliang dissatisfied, but Count Arthur laughed.
The little maid brought the brewed black tea, and then obediently retreated.
Earl Arthur took a sip of black tea and showed a very satisfied look: "Good tea, good craftsmanship!"
Then he put down the teacup and looked around: "I really didn't expect that the library director of Mingyue City has such a deep relationship with you. He's going to leave the library in your hands!"
Han Yu Liang spread his hands: "So all of you are so mysterious to tell me that this is a very good job, but that old bastard Hart never told me what this basically unattended shitty place is. Can you explain it to me, Lord Earl?"
Earl Arthur narrowed his eyes: "You seem to have changed a little!"
"It was working before!" Han Yuliang said with a look of course.
Actually, it's just some side effects of the Transfiguration, just a day ago, he had just restored his state to before the change, and at the same time, a little depression in his personality had also recovered.
Transfiguration is just a subtle effect on his character, if it is really Hart's description of "stealing from the druid, and then simplifying the special magic", Han Yuliang ate the table in front of him.
But that's all for later.
Han Yuliang smiled: "Is there something wrong with Lord Earl coming to me, if it is Cass's identity that has affected you, then please give me some time, I will make new arrangements for him!"
Han Yuliang didn't feel it himself, but Count Arthur and Alice felt it quite obviously.
There is a big gap between the person in front of them and the "Cass" they met in Berg City in the details of their personality.
If I have to describe it, the previous "Cass" seemed quite depressed and restrained, and now this is simply a state of self-release.
Or rather, full of self-confidence.
Such a gap does not make Arthur and Alice feel unfamiliar to Han Yuliang, but it does have a rather subtle sense of dislocation.
But what a character the Earl is, he just smiled: "Cass, I mean the real Cass is fine with me right now. I like people who are capable and affectionate. He, like you, is only the peak of the Yellow Order and the Elementary Level of the Orange Order, but he is far beyond the ordinary Orange Order in terms of magic control and perception, and he is a material that can be made!"
After a pause, the Earl said again: "This time I came to ask you to help me deal with Salak!"
Han Yuliang raised his eyebrows: "Let me deal with Sarak, after Yadra was dug up, is there anything else that Sarak should care about, Lord Earl?"
"Yes!" Lord Earl nodded, "The Faceless!"
Han Yuliang felt as if he had seen this word somewhere.
Seeing Han Yuliang's expression, Lord Earl showed a look that was really like this: "Should I say that I am worthy of being the person trusted by the Curator of Tulu? Now there are only a handful of people who can know the 'Faceless One'!"
Han Yuliang was calm and light on the surface, but he was already confused in his heart.
It's just that his mastery of Transfiguration is not absolutely subtle enough, and sometimes he is prone to facial paralysis.
The Faceless, he remembered where he had seen it, but he couldn't remember it at all.
"I now have ample evidence that Salak is related to the Faceless. In that case, dealing with Salak is something that must be done with caution, and I was a little hesitant to come to you, but now I am not worried. Because you're the librarian's trusted man!"
Earl Arthur said to himself, "We all understand!"
But Han Yuliang is completely in a state of blindfolding.
"Lord Count, maybe I didn't make it obvious, that old bastard Hart's relationship with me is not what you think. The biggest reason he handed over the library to me was because he owed me a lot of money, and now he suddenly ran away and wanted to use the library as collateral!"
Earl Arthur listened to Han Yuliang's words, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "I know that the inheritors of the library have some quirks, but the library is not something that can be measured by money!"
He smiled and waved his hand: "Han Yuliang, I sincerely hope that you can help me." Rest assured, now that I know that you are the head librarian, I will not force you to join me again. But for the sake of acquaintance, I hope you can help me!"
Speaking of which, it is already a rare soft word of a powerful Earl Arthur.
Han Yuliang: "In principle, I agree. But that old bastard Hart asked me not to leave until he returned. I can't get out of it now!"
Earl Arthur shook his head: "I'm not asking you to go now, but I want to get a promise from you." When I still have the city of Berg in need, I hope you can come and help us!"
Han Yuliang's brows furrowed.
The other party's words are quite connotative.
But soon his brow furrowed again: "Okay, when that old bastard Hart returns, I can go to Berg City at any time." I don't have anything to do right now anyway!"
The core of the Freelance Guild is "freedom", and no task is mandatory, which is completely different from the Mercenary Guild.
Of course, the risks and rewards of members of freelance associations are also quite "free", and there are often unequal situations.
Count Arthur got the answer he wanted, nodded in satisfaction, and stood up: "Then it's decided!" he turned and left.
Alice stayed behind and glanced at Han Yuliang deeply: "I don't care if you used a fake name before, but are you using fake feelings?"
Han Yuliang smiled dumbly: "Madam, what about you?"
Alice's face turned white, her eyes turned red, and she turned and ran away.
"Tsk, is it really a fake show?"
