Chapter 120: She's hungry for my body!
"Hah!" Claire sighed at her lord's seal, then pressed it firmly against the written letter of introduction.
Standing across the table, Master Hughes looked puzzled, wondering why Claire had done this.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Personal habits." Claire shook the imprinted letter of introduction and handed it over.
"It's already written, you take this letter to the house of Countess Sophia of the Auguste family, and pass it on to the butler, she should summon you in a few days, and it depends on your ability to stay or not." Claire was confident that Sophia should give him this face.
Hughes took the letter from Claire and read it cursoryly, it was a very ordinary letter of introduction, nothing special. After looking at it a few more times, he put the letter of introduction into the space ring and looked at Claire with interest.
"How did you get to the Augustus family?" ”
Claire spread her hands, anyway, there is no spiritual connection now, so she just opened her mouth and came.
"She covets my body, but I am the kind of person who eats soft rice, and then resolutely rejected her, but although I rejected her, but the business is not benevolent, I still have a friendship with her."
Hughes frowned and hesitated for a moment, then took a closer look at Claire's appearance, and actually believed his nonsense. After all, Sophia had a precedent of falling in love with a baron before, and that incident was spreading in the royal capital at that time, and a mage like him who lived in seclusion had heard of it.
Claire saw that the other party actually believed it, and then continued to pour dirty water on Sophia's body, anyway, that girl is not a good person.
"It's a good thing you didn't kill me in the first place, otherwise, she would have known that she would have to seek revenge on you, and she would have to send three or four magician-level mages to hunt you down."
Speaking of which, Claire didn't forget to get vaccinated and said, "Oh yes! Don't tell me about it, no one else knows about it, and if it gets out, Sophia won't be able to arrest you in anger. ”
Hughes nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I'll rot in my stomach." ”
"That's okay, I won't send it if you go slowly." Claire sat in her chair and didn't even make a movement to get up.
Hughes didn't care, anyway, after learning that Claire and Sophia had this identity, maybe he would become his own boss in the future.
Hughes stood, a cold black smoke enveloping him instantly, and when the fog cleared, his form disappeared from there.
Claire blinked a few times and looked at it with some envy, this is a short-distance teleportation method that can only be used at the archmage level.
After a while, he looked in the direction of the county of Green, he had already sent Reagan out to negotiate the handover, and after the few minerals were in hand, the city of Nafu had a new impetus to promote its faster development.
The previous magic mine made the Viscount Griffin of that generation directly rich, and the city of Nafu also developed and grew at that time, and after the magic mine dried up, a large number of people flowed to other territories, and the viscount fell lonely for a few years, and now with these few rich mines, although it is not as powerful as the magic mine, it is enough to put the viscount on the right track.
……
Reagan took out a handkerchief from his arms again and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, he forgot how many times he wiped it along the way, and he was suddenly called by the young master to take charge of such a big business, he was a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous, Reagan Councillor, we're here." Isaac, who was floating in mid-air, immediately comforted.
Hunter, who was following on the side, also nodded, "Even if the lord didn't come, they are not our opponents at all. ”
It wasn't just Isaac and Hunter who came with Reagan, but all the knights of the viscount followed, in Claire's words, to overwhelm people.
Reagan put the handkerchief in his arms and explained, "The young master handed over such an important matter to me, I'm afraid I'll mess it up." ”
"It's okay, Claire has already reached a contract with the other party, and it is estimated that coming over today is just going through the motions."
Reagan didn't say anything, just nodded silently, thinking that he should behave like this later, so as not to let his young master lose his share.
……
After more than half an hour, Reagan and his party arrived at the main city of Earl Green, Corsi City.
From the outside, it is not more spectacular than Nafu City, it is the main city that an ordinary county should have, which is also because the previous Viscount Griffin led out the magic mine, so it took decades for Nafu City to grow into the main city of an earldom, and other viscounties are not as luxurious as this opportunity.
However, compared to Nafu City, the flow of people in Kosi City is much higher, and from time to time you can see horse-drawn carriages coming out of the city and caravans entering from outside, which is much more popular than Nafu City.
As soon as Reagan and the others arrived at the city gate, the knights in charge of guarding the city saw the familiar figures following behind Reagan, and their legs were so frightened that they almost didn't lie down. The wolf cavalry of Crane beat them out of the ordinary, they all saw a lot of their colleagues die tragically in front of them, if it weren't for the sudden retreat of the other party at that time, it is estimated that the lives of themselves and others would not be guaranteed.
"Quick! Tell me about it! The knight of that viscount called! ”
"No, you can go, my legs are weak and I can't stand up."
"Me too, I can't stand up either."
"Don't look at me, I can't stand up."
……
Reagan rode his horse a few steps forward, pondered for a moment, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Lao Tzu is the political officer sent by Viscount Griffin to negotiate peace!" Hurry up and let your people come out to greet you! ”
"!" The soldiers in charge of guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they had come to negotiate peace, and they thought they had been beaten to the city gate.
But why is the tone of this shouter so arrogant, shouldn't he be harmonious when talking about peace?
Isaac also looked at it with a question mark on his face, weren't you still quite nervous just now? Why are you so arrogant all of a sudden?
The caravans and the residents who were still coming in and out also stopped and looked curiously after hearing Reagan's arrogant roar. The battle between Viscount Griffin and Earlcounty Green lasted only two days, and they still haven't heard from it.
When the soldiers defending the city learned that they had not been beaten, their legs finally stopped trembling, and they hurriedly drove the caravan that had stopped.
"Let's go! Hurry up. ”
"Nothing to see, let's go!"
"If you don't leave, you'll pay an extra entrance fee!"
Driven away, the people and horses who had stopped finally flowed again, but there was a trace of curiosity left in their hearts, and they must inquire if they have the opportunity.
Inside the Earl's Court.
Bill, the butler who got the news, reported Reagan's arrival.
Earl Green clenched his fists angrily and slammed the metal seat he sat on, and the force hammered out a dent in it.
"It's so arrogant! And so soon they came and wanted me to cut the ground! ”
Seeing that his own earl was so angry, Bilmo was silent for fear of setting himself on fire, and unconsciously touched the position of his heart with his hand, although the dagger was taken out, but every time he saw it, he would feel a faint pain.
Earl Green suddenly shouted, "Bill! ”
Bill bent slightly, "Here!" Lord Earl! ”
"I'll leave this matter to you to discuss, although I signed a contract with him, but there is no stipulation on when to give it to him, you can delay the handover for as long as you want! I'll try to find a way to see if I can get it back. ”
After all, Claire had only sent his own butler, and Green was an earl, and in his capacity, it was impossible for him to personally negotiate peace with a viscount's butler.
Bill pursed his lips, a little unconfident, he still knew a little about the knights of his own territory defeating the other party as a housekeeper.
"It's okay, I'll watch from the sidelines, you just talk." Earl Green spoke, meaning that he was supporting Bill on the sidelines, telling him not to be afraid.
"Yes, Lord Count!"
