413 Drop-off!
When Charlie came out of the warehouse, it was almost early in the morning, Martel, who was guarding the door, was sleepy-eyed, and when he saw Charlie, he was immediately shocked.
Martel was surprised, "Your lord, you ...... It seems that something is different. ”
"Oh? What's different?"
Martell scratched his head and said, "I can't say the specifics, but it just makes me feel a little intimidated, and there is a cold aura." ”
Charlie smiled, quietly reined in the shadow energy that escaped, and asked rhetorically, "Is it?!"
Charlie's own different forms will give people different feelings, which is obvious, when he switches the life tree bloodline form, he will make the elves feel close, and even mistakenly think that he is a half-elf, and when he switches the shadow bloodline form, he will become a complete cold-blooded killer.
He had just made a breakthrough in the Shadow Bloodline, and his aura was not completely constricted, so Martell felt something abnormal.
Martell sneered, "Maybe I didn't wake up!, Lord Lord, do you have any orders?"
"I'll go to rest, you find someone to clean up the storage room, don't touch it with your hands, burn it directly to ashes, and then clean it up, after all, it's an evil thing, don't let the brothers be disturbed, understand?"
"Understood. ”
Soon, Charlie arrives in the suite on the top floor of the inn, and replaces rest with star meditation, and the dissatisfaction with the magic in the furnace always gives him a feeling of insecurity, although this feeling is likely to be psychological.
Charlie's rest did not last long, and the noise on the lower floors of the inn disturbed his meditation, and when he pricked up his ears, he realized that it was someone from the Count of Galeon's side.
Charlie washed up and went downstairs.
Seeing Charlie come down, Martell and Stonefield had a look of apology on their faces.
"I'm sorry, my lord, my subordinates are incompetent and woke you up. ”
Charlie waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.
"I'm still asleep at this point, Pavel's young master really has a big heart!" a sneering voice caught Charlie's attention.
There was an ordinary middle-aged man standing in front of him, with a mediocre appearance and a slightly rich figure, showing everywhere that he was a very ordinary middle-aged man, only the noble and elegant demeanor could mark his level, there was no doubt that he was a typical nobleman.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man puffed up his chest, and his impeccable etiquette did not mean that he had respect for Charlie, it was just to set off his noble background and good cultivation.
"I am Baron Betis, and on behalf of the Count of Galeon, I have made a formal diplomatic representation to the Pavel family, urging you to come up with a plan satisfactory to us regarding the mining accident that occurred the night before!
So, I hope you can send someone who can make a decision, I don't know if Mr. Charles can represent the Pavel family, hehe! After all, the story of Archduke Thomas's angry dismissal of his own son was widely spread!
If Mr. Charlie doesn't have the right to decide, then send someone who can talk, my time is precious, and I don't want to waste it on someone who has no influence!"
What an arrogant baron!
Hearing this, Martell couldn't help but reprimand: "Mr. Baron, please be respectful, now Mr. Charlie is the patriarch of our Pavel family!"
Betis suddenly burst into flames and scolded: "What are you? Is there a place for you to speak?!
Lao Tzu is a baron! He is a baron officially canonized according to the laws of the Empire, and he has his own baronial ridge, not to mention Charlie, even if Archduke Thomas is standing here, I have something to say, what is a bought honorary duke?!
Martell, the scolding person, shaved Charlie's face.
was reprimanded by Betis, Martell was weak and very angry, but he didn't know how to refute it, it is true that as a family knight, in essence, he is not at the same level as the nobles, and his words are transgressing his identity.
Charlie was not annoyed, and said indifferently: "According to the laws of the thousand-year-old empire, obtaining the honorary title can be regarded as adding to the qualifications of the nobles, and the territory or something is nothing more than a resource, you have it, I don't, you can indeed be proud."
But I really don't like your poor and remote land.
You are right, we Pavel people just have a few dollars in our pockets! I am so rich! If the law allows, we can buy a hundred barons and play with the same.
In addition, don't scold my knight, I am the master, I can scold, you can't, and I have to remind you that he has a bad temper, and if he scolds in a hurry, he will hit someone! If I hurt you, I also feel very embarrassed, after all, they are all guests from afar!"
This is a strong support, which makes Martell feel warm in his heart, and the rest of the silver knights also showed expressions of appreciation, the boss was criticized, and they were not comfortable in their hearts, but Charlie supported Martell, it felt like holding them up, and they were very comfortable!
Martell also realized what Charlie meant, and his malicious gaze fell on Betis, and this small action immediately stimulated several guards behind Betis, and the people on both sides looked at each other, and the tense atmosphere spread.
Looking at the figure of several guards on the other side, you know that it must be a strong man who is not inferior to the Silver Knight, maybe each has the strength to match Martell and Stonefield, and the baron of this level may be able to attract one, but it is unlikely to attract a batch.
At the end of the first round of confrontations, Betis, who had a fierce opening scene, was choked back, although they were not directly suppressed, and their momentum was a little weaker.
Besti snorted coldly, in response to Charlie's words.
Charlie said: "Okay, I can tell you unequivocally that I have full discretion in the affairs of the Pavel family, and if you have any conditions, just mention it!"
Betis pinched his voice and said: "Putting the people first is the basis for any decision made by the Count of Galeon, he attaches great importance to the people in his territory, and the people love him very much.
We are very sad and saddened by the disaster in the jade caves, the loss of 23 able-bodied laborers in the small town of Makolen, and the fact that at least 20 families have been broken and have lost their pillars.
We believe that the jade mine disaster is a very serious liability accident, and your people have failed to do their duty in three ways:
First, the mine safety monitoring was not up to par, and the supervisors were negligent in their duties, so that the mine was in danger, but it was not investigated until the tragedy occurred;
Second, the guards of the town were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they shrank back on the defensive, allowing the miners to be slaughtered, and the Moon Soul Werewolf killed more than a dozen miners last night, which was another big loss after the mining disaster, and this was a completely avoidable loss;
Third, it is not good for the protection of the Black Rock Church, so that several priests have no sense of security at all, and they have to choose to retreat, if it is not for the blessing of the main god Chris, they may also be killed, this is considered your luck, fortunately, several priests were not harmed.
Based on the above situation, we hope that you can severely punish the guards stationed in the town this time, and we want the heads of several main responsible persons! In addition, we ask you to make compensation for each miner and the miner's family, and the specific compensation plan needs to be further discussed. ”
After he finished speaking, almost all the silver knights present had extremely angry expressions on their faces, as if they had been slapped in the face!
What is the lack of supervision?!What is dereliction of duty?!What is greed for life and fear of death?!
The silver knights stationed in the garrison fought to the point that all of them were injured, and after paying a huge price to drive the Moon Soul Werewolf away, they retreated to the inn, because at that time, only two or three people still had the strength to fight, and the whole team almost fought to the point of running out of oil and lamps.
The anger that Charlie had just suppressed boiled again, and he slowly closed his eyes, because when he saw Betis's face, he couldn't help but want to slap him and break his neck directly with great force.
However, even if you kill Besty, it won't help, he is just an envoy, the status of the baron shows that he is insignificant in the eyes of Galeon, kill him, Count Galeon can send another baron, then the conditions may be even harsher.
Through the nature of all the appeals, Charlie senses that Galeon has malice towards him, perhaps coveting the wealth of the Pavel family, or perhaps containing other reasons that Charlie does not know.
No matter what compromise Charlie makes, the other party will not let him have a good time, so it is better to fight firmly.
After making a decision, Charlie's anger disappeared a lot, and he knocked on the table and said, "My acceptable plan is that each miner's family will pay 10,000 gold coins, and that's it."
If the Count of Galeon does not agree, he has two options: first, to sue the Council of Nobles, and I will argue with him clearly, and second, to settle the dispute directly by war, and I will accompany him at any time!"
Listening to Charlie's opinion, it was even more too much than his lion's mouth, Betis also felt a hot sting pain on his face, and the eyes of the yin owl glanced at Charlie.
"Young people are young people, Charlie, and I suggest you think clearly, there is a powerful earl standing opposite you!
Charlie didn't even raise his eyes, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Send off!"
