Chapter 129: Ten Thousand Gold Coins
In a study in the aristocratic style of the First Roman Empire, a maid respectfully brews Sean a cup of coffee before quietly retreating.
Viscount Red motioned for Sean to try the expensive civet coffee as he leaned back in a high-backed chair and smoked an expensive cigarette.
In the middle of the clouds, Viscount Red noticed that Sean didn't seem to be interested in coffee, and shook his head, "Intix should tell me that you don't like coffee." ”
Sean put down the coffee cup in embarrassment, decided not to go around in circles, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Red, if there is something, you might as well say it directly." ”
Viscount Red shook his head slightly: "Sean, although you are still young, the first thing that a person who has achieved great things must do is to calm down." ”
You're not my father! Sean rolled his eyes in his heart, and his face was taught: "Mr. Red is taught. ”
"Huh." Viscount Red looked at Sean lightly, "I've heard everything about Intix, and I'm very grateful, so, let's say, what do you want?" ”
What do you want? Sean was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and frowned: "Mr. Red, you misunderstood, I don't have any other purpose, and helping Miss Intix is just me and her friends." ”
"Friends?"
"It's a friend."
Sean calmly looked at Viscount Red in front of him, vaguely guessed about the other party's purpose, and had no interest in continuing to chat, so he got up and said, "If Mr. Red has nothing else to do, I will leave for the time being." ”
So saying, he turned and walked out the door.
As soon as he reached the door, Viscount Red in the chair chuckled, "Don't you want to know Karl's whereabouts?" ”
Sean paused, turned around and squinted, "What do you mean, Mr. Red?" ”
Viscount Red smiled unchanged and said, "Sean, I know that you are tracking down Carl, in fact I am also looking for him, but I am different from you in that I know him better than you, so it didn't take long for me to find his traces." ”
Sean stared at him and said in a deep voice, "So what do you want to do?" ”
"Do what?" Red's own mustache curled slightly, and his gaze became cold, "I want his life." ”
Sean: "......"
The air fell silent.
Obviously, Viscount Red was just sitting there quietly, but Sean was inexplicably cold, as if the person sitting there was not an ordinary middle-aged nobleman, but a terrifying existence that could be bloodthirsty and kill at any time.
Viscount Red...... Sean was shocked in his heart, and almost instinctively opened his spiritual eyes, but he didn't see any spiritual light from Viscount Red, which either showed that the other party was an ordinary person, or that the other party was a transcendent person with a much higher sequence than him.
And there is no doubt that Sean is more inclined to the latter possibility in his heart.
And at this moment, Viscount Red suddenly smiled slightly, and the strange sense of oppression just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Sean, I think you should understand what I mean, for some special reasons, I need to be more stable lately, and Carl has a lot of secrets about me, so I hope you or you can help me get rid of him."
Viscount Red looked at Sean fixedly, and without waiting for Sean to answer, he stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand gold coins." ”
Hiss!
Sean's words that he wanted to refuse were swallowed into his stomach by force, and his breathing couldn't help but become short.
10,000 gold coins, that's 10,000 gold coins! Sean roared inwardly.
To be honest, for Carl, Sean has long made up his mind to kill in his heart, but he is just suffering from lack of strength and opportunity, and now that the other party is offering such a price, let alone him, he believes that none of his colleagues around him will refuse.
"Sean, I know you're wondering why I'm looking for you, not your captain." Viscount Red seemed to have been prepared, and did not give Sean time to doubt at all, and continued, "Actually, it's very simple, Intix said that you are short of money, and if I look for you, this commission, even if you find your colleagues to complete it together, you can get a lot of shares." ”
Sean was stunned for a moment, a trace of warmth rose in his heart, and he said sincerely: "Miss Intix is really a kind girl. ”
"Yes, so I hope you'd better not affect her future." Viscount Red looked at Sean meaningfully and said calmly, "Her future should be to be a noble wife who has no worries about food and clothing, not a hard-working woman who may be widowed at any time." ”
Sean couldn't hear the warning in Viscount Red's words, and pouted slightly, but still took off his hat and stroked his chest very politely: "Mr. Red, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
Viscount Red snorted, and then watched Sean leave, until the room was empty, he looked strange and said, "Strange, why do I always feel kind when I look at him?" ”
......
This episode of Viscount Red took Sean a long time to calm down, and he remembered his business and began to wander around the trading floor.
At this time, the hall was much less crowded, and Sean had enough space to take a closer look at each counter.
Eventually, he found a fist-sized piece of Mithril in front of a relatively cold counter, although it was not large, but it was enough to make a small carving knife, and after some haggling, he finally reluctantly bought the piece of Mithril for 150 gold coins, and cheekily asked the other party to give him a fire charm and a stack of parchment.
Then, perhaps because he had already spent a huge sum of money, he gritted his teeth and found a counter to buy 4 charms, and after a lot of hard bargaining, he finally settled the price at 9 gold coins each.
At this point, he only had 7 gold coins, 2 silver coins, and 46 copper coins left in his pocket.
But there was still a lot of gain, a fist-sized Mithril plus 5 low-level charms and a stack of parchment, in addition to 5 charms in case of emergency, he only needed to find a good craftsman to make a good carving knife, and he could practice making low-level charms.
In this way, after leaving the club, he did not have a front of the Red Zoo and Botanical Garden, but found a carriage and rushed to the Hunters' Guild, he wanted to tell the captain Viscount Red about this commission, after all, a Sequence 7 stalker, not to mention that there is a terrible Brotherhood of Beasts and a church traitor who may be hiding behind the other party.
Soon, Sean rushed to the Hunters' Guild to meet Captain Oscar, who was on duty again, and after briefly telling Viscount Red what he said about the commission, Captain Oscar attached great importance to it, and while telling Sean to go back and stare at the evil spirit first, he got up and left the Hunters' Guild.
As for the matter of the deep-sea shipping Baron Rohm, since Sean had not yet found a suitable reason, he did not say it immediately.
