Charlotte knocked on the door, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Captain Durant!" I'm Charlotte, and I've brought you somebody. ”
There was no response.
Charlotte continued to knock on the door and shouted, "Captain Durant? Captain Durant, are you there? ”
"What a noise early in the morning! Dead fatty! A middle-aged man's roar came from inside the door, and although it was through the door, the sound still shook Xue Yuan's ears. Then there was the sound of something knocking to the ground. "I've told you so many times! Don't bother me so early! ”
"Captain Durant, I'm bringing someone for you!" Charlotte continued to knock on the door and shouted, "Isn't the convoy carrying supplies still missing?" ”
"Then you wait a minute, I'll be right there!" The middle-aged man in the door still looked impatient, and his voice lowered a little.
"For a while, talk less and nod more." Charlotte explained to the two of them again, "Mr. Durant's temper has always been not very good, and I will answer any questions he has for a while, and even if he indicates that he wants you to speak, he will act according to my face, you know?" ”
The door creaked open, and it was opened by a tall man in a gray leather coat. He has loose blond hair and a blonde beard, but it's messy and unkempt. The rough and fierce facial features seem to be hewn out of granite. He snorted a rough breath with the smell of inferior wine, and gave Charlotte a shiver very unceremoniously.
"You woke me up!" The strong man said in a vicious voice.
"Oops." Charlotte clutched the place where her head was knocked on, "Commander Durant, you yourself said that I will come to you as soon as I find someone." ”
"But didn't I tell you not to disturb me in the morning?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Then I forgot to tell you, but you should think of it yourself!" Durant waved his hand unreasonably, "I have to tell me everything, so what are you doing with your head?" I'm woken up by you right now and my head hurts! ”
"That's—I'm sorry about that, Captain Durant." Charlotte looked rather pained and took out a gold coin from her arms and stuffed it into Durant's hand, "I wonder if your headache is better?" ”
"Hahahaha!" Durant laughed wildly and unceremoniously slipped the gold coin into his pocket, "Yes, now it's fine." So—" His eagle-like eyes swept over Xue Yuan and Luna, "bring your men in, I'm going to do a simple review." ”
Durant stopped blocking the door and walked straight inside. Charlotte also motioned for Xue Yuan and Luna to follow.
The room was also very large, and it was evident that it had been lavishly renovated before - but now it was in ruins: the paintings on the walls had been removed, and only empty frames remained. There was a black round hole in the ceiling, and Xue Yuan guessed that it should be a chandelier. The room of about 100 square meters was nothing but a tattered desk and a huge wooden chair. The floor was full of potholes, and a few pieces of the floor simply cocked and creaked when stepped on.
Durant sat down in the chair and said to Charlotte.
"Dead fatty, the two people you chose don't look very good, one is a weak man, and the other is simply a useless woman. These two people alone can't afford your military service. ”
"Subject to military service?" Xue Yuan's eyelids jumped, "Charlotte has never mentioned this matter, what is going on?" ”
"Captain Durant! I brought 10 people to your convoy last year! Don't forget. Charlotte was a little angry.
"Oh? Is it? Durant ran his pinky finger into his ear, "I don't remember." ”
"Captain Durant! It's all on file! Charlotte was anxious and stepped forward and patted the table. You can't cross the river and tear down the bridge! ”
"I'm afraid it's not me who crossed the river and demolished the bridge." Durant lifted his feet on the table, "Who is arguing with me about the pension of those ten people?" ”
"But those ten are citizens of the Kingdom." Charlotte spoke very quickly, "I can't explain it to their family without a pension, and I have a lot of money on my own." ”
"It's none of my business, Charlotte." Durant raised an eyebrow, "If you want to evade military service, you must get a special contribution certificate from me." But I don't think you've made any contribution to the militia, and I won't give you any paperwork in this case. ”
"So what exactly do you want?!"
"Two of them, plus a thousand boxes of fantasy matches, Mr. Charlotte, I'll just want the purest kind."
