Chapter 269: Posture
Four people walked in slowly, one of the three people wearing cloaks looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with black hair and blue eyes, and the other two were twenty or thirty years old, they should just be entourage, and no one saluted when the two groups of people met, and several people walked directly to Kane and sat down, but the old man in Black Mist Town stood alone.
"You're the buyer?" asked the old man with a proud face.
Kane nodded, "Why, isn't it like?"
The old man smiled, "It's really not, but it's nothing, the young people now are much more powerful than the older generation." β
Kane looked at him with a smile, "I wonder which one you're talking about?"
The old man glanced at him disdainfully, "I'll play dumb riddles with me, okay, tell me your identity." β
Kane glanced up at the old man in Black Mist, "Didn't he tell you?"
The old man's face was expressionless, "Is Your Excellency so sincere?"
Kane ignored his anger, "It's enough to do business and have money, what do you want to do with sincerity, or can you reduce some gold coins if I'm sincere enough?"
"Enough!" the old man drank, turned his head and glared at the old man in Black Mist Town, "This is the person you asked us to come all the way to meet?"
The old man of Black Mist Town responded tremblingly, turned his head to Kane and said with a smile: "My lord, since you have met the main master, tell your identity, everyone is their own person, why bother to make the relationship so stiff." β
Kane nodded, turning his head to look at the old man, "It's okay if you want me to say it, but I'm sure you're not the main master, let's talk about your identity and position first, and I'll see if you're qualified to know my identity." β
The old man laughed angrily, and only after a while did he say: "Okay, I hope your identity can be worthy of your arrogance, I am Loris, the senior deacon of the Holy See!"
Kane snorted lightly when he heard this, "I'm just a deacon for a long time, who is your master?"
"You!" the old man was furious, "tear this little bastard who doesn't know the height of the sky..."
Kane raised his hand to interrupt him, looking at him with sharp eyes, "Little bastard, Deacon Lorris, I'm afraid you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, the following crimes are serious crimes in the Holy See!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "The deceitful person has come to me, I really want to know who gave you the guts!"
Kane hesitated for a while and suddenly turned his face sideways, "I have to say that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" After speaking, he took out a badge, "Take it and see it yourself!"
This is nothing else, it is the Holy Dragon Knight badge issued by the Holy See, the front of the badge is a golden dragon, and there are eight golden wings on the edge, Kane once asked Evely privately, when she replied that the number of golden wings represents the status of the Holy See, the highest is the Pope's twelve-winged Holy Cross badge, followed by the bishop's ten wings, and then down, the lowest paladin has only one wing, and the level of eight wings is second only to the bishop and several special people, probably because of the first appearance of the golden holy dragon, Kane's identity soared instantly.
Now in order for this deacon to tell the truth, Kane has to gamble, this badge has not been seen before, the entire Holy See may be the only one, and the number of people who know it is limited, Kane is betting that he has not seen this badge.
Loris smiled disdainfully and stretched out his hand to slowly take the badge, looked down and saw that he was instantly cold, and directly fell to the ground, and the other two also hurriedly knelt down when they saw this, as a deacon of the Holy See, he naturally understood the meaning of the four pairs of golden wings, although he himself was the so-called senior deacon, in fact, to put it bluntly, he was an errand with a little identity, there were only four golden wings on the badge, and the concept of eight wings was to kill people of his level without reporting at all.
Loris almost trembled, "The villain deserves death, please forgive the adult!"
Seeing this, the old man of Black Mist Town quickly knelt down with a puff, and no longer dared to look up at Kane.
Kane smiled in his heart, but on the surface he looked cold, and slowly took the badge back, "Deacon Loris, what did you scold me just now?"
Loris was covered in a cold sweat, "The villain is old and dizzy, and he has offended the adult, please punish the adult." β
Kane smiled, "I'm a tolerant person, I can ignore the offense before, but you actually scolded me for being a little bastard, even my father scolded me!"
Loris didn't know who his father was, but he must have been an even more unprovoked existence, and he only had a resigned expression, "Please punish your lord." β
Kane thought for a moment, "I don't think you're going to bother with you because of your unintentional mistakes, so let's reduce the price of this sale by 10%, do you agree?"
Of course, he didn't really want to take advantage of this, he didn't want to pay at all, but this can make them believe that they are really here for business, so as to avoid all kinds of suspicions.
Lloris was afraid that he would say something terrible, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Agree to agree, as long as the adults don't care!"
Kane nodded, "Get up, you'd better rot in your stomach, I'll leave when it's done, and you're unlikely to see me in the future." β
"Yes, yes, the villain must be tight-lipped. Several people slowly stood up, their bodies almost bent at ninety degrees, let alone sitting and talking.
Kane smiled, "Now can you tell me who is in charge of this Black Mist Town?"
Loris hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "It's Lord Robert, the High Priest in Cardinal. β
"Robert?" Kane muttered, a little suspicious in his heart, not that he was lying to himself, but that the power of a red-clothed high priest alone did not seem to be enough to support the existence of Black Mist.
So he looked at Loris who was ha-waisted, "Just him?"
Loris nodded, "All I can know is Lord Robert, as for... I don't know if there's anything else up there..."
Kane shook his head, a little angry, and said, "I've been around with me for a long time, but I'm just a little red-clothed high priest, and I'm going to meet this lord in person when I go back!"
Loris trembled again when he heard this, the identity of the red-clothed high priest was already in the top dozens of rankings in the entire human realm... It doesn't sound like much, but you must know that the population density of the Wind Continent is very large, often there are hundreds of millions or even billions of people in a country, and there are countless countries on the entire continent, so the cardinal high priest is already an extreme existence above tens of billions of people in this continent, but Kane said that he is small...
Of course, there is nothing wrong with putting this in his mouth, the red-clothed high priest is only six wings, and he is eight wings, two levels higher, Lloris has some suspicions that his badge may be a secret department of the Holy See, otherwise he would not have seen it before.
At present, there are only two things he can be sure of, one is that the badge is definitely from the Holy See, and it is impossible to fake, and the other is that the identity of the young man in front of him is against the sky, even the cardinal high priest Robert can't afford to provoke it.
So the next thing is much simpler, basically Kane said what Loris should do, Kane gradually entered the role, said too lazy to count one by one, but in order to avoid someone hiding privately, or came up with a fair price, a price of 180,000 gold coins, I heard that Loris wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him, and hurriedly promised that they would get all the goods together, but some bounty hunters ran farther, and it might take a few days to come back, although Kane wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, but he could only nod and agree, and it was a very simple truth to eliminate evilγ
So the matter was settled so happily, Loris, who had planned to go back to his life, decided to stay and supervise him personally for fear that something would go wrong with them, and the old man of Black Mist Town couldn't wait to kneel and talk as soon as he saw Kane, not to mention that the three meals a day were very exquisite, not to mention that he personally delivered them, for fear that any of his subordinates would offend this lord without opening his eyes.
The entire Black Mist Town was boiled as soon as he tossed it, and batches of beasts were sent to a large concentration to be fed collectively, three meals a day were unambiguous, and two bold bounty hunters secretly hid one and were directly executed, making those arrogant slave owners in the past tremble one by one, in addition to the goods in their own hands, even their own private beast slaves were handed over.
Kane's heart blossomed, he tasted the sweetness of power, but there were also things that he was unhappy about, Jessica's brother still kept lying at the door and refused to leave, Kane had no choice but to reward him with a few gold coins and then let the old man of Black Mist Town get him away, and finally whether he was alive or dead Kane didn't know, there was no difference between such a person living or not, and he didn't deserve his sympathy at all.
Imagine what kind of fate Jessica will face if she doesn't show up, I'm afraid it's even more uncomfortable than death, she can't earn money to support her, Kane can understand and tolerate it, but she went to a brothel for a month and spent all her savings, not to mention letting her sister suffer for it, this kind of thing is completely intolerable.
From Jessica's mouth, he also probably knew what happened to the two siblings, according to her, although their previous family was not big but quite wealthy, but then once the father was killed by a group of bandits when he went out to do business, the uncle in the family who had long coveted his mother's beauty forcibly took possession of her mother and the family property, their mother was worried that the uncle would hurt the brother and sister, so she sent the only trustworthy old housekeeper to take them out privately, who knew that the uncle already knew about it, and brought someone to intercept and kill them halfway, their mother was stabbed to death by the uncle on the spot in order to protect the three people, and the old housekeeper took the two out of the two and died less than a yearγ
Later, the brother and sister had no choice but to wander around, but fortunately, their mother had prepared a lot of money for them, but they met bandits on the way, but fortunately a kind ranger rescued them and took them all the way here, but after the ranger settled the two, he said that he was going to go out on a mission, and he never came back.
At first, the two of them could barely get by, but since my brother went to the brothel, it began to be worse day by day, and in the end, he was directly starved and unclothed, and when he was desperate, there was a later incident, which can be said to be really a twist and turn of fate.
Although Kane has long looked down on this kind of thing, he can't help but sigh, when will this world be able to live like the elves, probably never.
