Chapter 10: Be My Friend or Enemy
Belinda drove the carriage with ease, driving down the glorious streets of the City of Grace, and it was close to noon, and there were relatively few pedestrians on the streets, and people were all eating lunch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What are we going to eat, my lord, have you ever tasted the goose baked, the goose baked in the Old Hat Restaurant?" asked the girl.
"No, if it takes a lot of time and money to eat, I suggest it be simpler because I don't have the money to treat you. "Cumberland Drive.
"Why don't you ask the church to apply for some, and according to your position, you should also have a high salary. ”
"They pretended not to think that if I didn't have the money, it would have been a lot of trouble to do anything. Cumberland smiled, "But I'll have it soon, tonight, we'll have some wheat cakes at noon, and you'll have a treat." ”
"You're going to have money right away, I'm looking forward to it. Belinda laughed, thinking Cumberland was just joking.
Cumberland took two pieces of wheat bread and ate them as he walked, and walked to the bounty hall near Okais Square, which had just opened at noon, and Cumberland was the first guest. Because he has never appeared in public, although people know about the Son of God, except for the high-ranking members of the church, almost no one has seen his true face, let alone expect him to come to the bounty hall, otherwise the big boss here will immediately open the VIP room to welcome his arrival.
"This gentleman, do you have anything to serve, are you here to post a bounty, or to receive a bounty?" The young lady in the registration room had never seen such a handsome guy with such a sign, and took the initiative to come over and talk.
"Thanks, I'm just taking a casual look. Cumberland waved his hand to show that she didn't need any service, and the woman walked away boredly, glancing at Belinda next to the man.
"That chick has taken a fancy to you, Cumberland, and you are very attractive. Belinda laughed.
"Yes. The Son of God was not interested in Belinda's words, and scanned all the bounty signs, interested in the Assassin column.
The bounty hall is divided into several categories, including ordinary bounties, adventure bounties, assassin bounties, etc., in the face of the assassins' bounty cards, many of them just write a price, and the specific content is negotiable, which is obviously an unsightly deed.
Cumberland seemed to be looking for trouble, he took off all the Assassin bounty signs, then walked to the registration room, smiled at the registration lady and said, "I'll take them all." ”
"Oh, sir, I'm sorry, you may not know some of the basics here, but a task like yours is usually taken by the Assassins' Guild, and no one else can take it casually. The girl quickly explained.
"I'm a lone assassin, and I don't belong to any guild, but I can complete all the tasks, isn't that enough?" said Cumberland, "I can give them a twenty percent discount for the sake of my patrons." ”
"You're a cold-blooded assassin, it's incredible, it's cool, I'm going to inform our director, and you'd better talk to him. The girl screamed and ran to a room.
The director of the bounty hall walked out and received Cumberland with a warm face, and when he saw this strange young man, his expression couldn't help but show surprise, thinking that this guy was not joking, didn't he see the bounty number on it, some of them were twenty diamonds! What is the purpose of spending such money, at that time, it was to take the life of a big man, and it required the cooperation of the entire Assassin Guild to complete, and some small guilds didn't even dare to touch it, causing trouble, and they couldn't survive.
"You want to take all the bounty tasks, this kind of thing has not happened since the opening of the bounty hall until now, I have no authority to decide this matter, I must consult our big boss Grantham, please wait, we are contacting him. "The Director tried to be as careful as possible, he didn't want to provoke an Assassin, especially a terrible assassin like this.
"I know you can't call the shots, let your big boss come. Cumberland unceremoniously sat down in the chair of the director's office, lit a cigar in style, took a puff, coughed twice, and then returned to normal.
"Sir, I still want to remind you that this kind of reward must not be a joke, if you meet the representative of the customer and know the content of the reward, if you can't complete it, you will die, and if you leak it, you will die, and it will be too late to refuse. The supervisor said that he still hoped that Cumberland would put the sign back, and even if he messed around, the matter would end there.
"Sometimes, completing a task can be death, right?" added Cumberland, adding what the supervisor hadn't said.
"This, this...... This hall is only responsible for the posting, registration and redemption of bounties, and does not interfere with the rest. The director prevaricated.
After waiting for half a standard hourglass, the director whispered to Cumberland, "Sir, our big boss is here, he is waiting for you in the Pink Diamond VIP Room, please move." ”
Sure enough, it was a high-class VIP room, the decoration inside was very luxurious, all kinds of utensils were top-quality materials, and at one end of the long table made of red acid branches, there sat a capable old man, who looked close to sixty years old, short in stature, with a white beard on his upper lip, he had a cigarette butt in his mouth, and when he saw Cumberland come in, he stood up and greeted him, and made an ordinary greeting gift.
"My honor, may I inquire about your name?" asked Grantham.
"Cumberland, to put it bluntly, I'm the chief judge of the Chenxing Church and the head of the Temple Guard. "The Son of God does not hide anything at all.
"Original...... It turned out to be an adult, which was rude. Grantham felt that his greeting just now had despised the noblest figure in the empire, and hurriedly re-performed the noble salute.
"You're welcome, I don't do this, I guess you won't come in person, the brand, it's all back to you, I'm not interested in the bounty. ”
"Your ......, my lord?"
"Before I say what I want, I care about your choice, do you want to be my friend or my enemy?" said Cumberland, "You should be the most well-informed person in this empire, I am afraid that I know more or less about my current situation, and there are two people from the church outside the door, who are following me, all of which proves that I am not good now, but as a sharp-eyed person, I always have to look to the future." To be my friend, the church will take care of everything for him in the future, to be my enemy, he is tantamount to going against the whole Inquisition, duplex, that is an even more unwise choice, right, Mr. Grantham? ”
Grantham listened to the words of the chief referee, Khan stayed, weighed for a long time, and finally said, "What do you need, sir?"
"I need you to introduce me to a powerful Assassin Guild, and at the same time, show me a list of all the bounty tasks in the last year. Cumberland said calmly.
"This ...... This...... We are obligated to keep it confidential for our customers. ”
"Mr. Grantham, what you are now dealing with is the highest official of the Empire, and all matters within this country are not a secret to me, and you can choose not to agree, and I will regard you as standing against me from now on. (To be continued.) )
