Chapter 69: The Black Robe
The town centered on Winterburg was full of all kinds of people, including ordinary peasants, who only wished they could have more land to cultivate, and merchants who came and went, who lamented as always the weight of the tariffs, which would reduce their income, and of course, there were also lawbreakers, or villains, and the law had no effect on them, as long as they did not offend the nobles in the castle, then they would be safe.
In addition to these people, there are naturally various guilds in the towns of Winterburg, where they either do their normal business and activities, or hide in the dark corners and ditches with the company of the stinking rats......
A man dressed in a black robe that even hid his face so much that he couldn't see it appeared at the end of the stinking ditch, and in front of him he was surrounded by several large men, holding various weapons in their hands, and the fierce scars on their faces seemed to indicate that they were not simple characters.
They all have a bad smell on their bodies, which is pungent, after all, what can be clean when they stay in the ditch all year round?
But the black robe didn't look disgusting, and seemed to turn a blind eye to these situations, or maybe he was used to such places for a long time......
"Is this how you entertain your guests?" The black robe suddenly laughed, and his voice seemed to have been deliberately changed, making it look very hoarse.
"Hey, it's not like all cats and dogs are entertained here, I don't think you even know where this is, do you?" A big man waved the big stick in his hand, as if to deter.
"Hehe, I want to see your chief, Teresa of Poison Rose." The black-robed man ignored their threat, as calm as if this were his home.
"Want to see Teresa?"
"Yes, I think we're going to make a good deal." The black robe squirmed slightly, looking a little weird, but the next moment he threw out a small bag of coins, and some of his thin hands showed his sleeve robe, which was slightly pale and a little oozing in the light.
Luckily, this is the Guild of Villains, where they live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, and no one will be afraid, at least not until their lives are really threatened.
"Okay, I can take you to Teresa." The villain tossed the money bag in his hand, and smiled greedily when he heard the "rustle" sound inside, it was indeed Natas for the real thing, maybe only copper, but it was not less.
"Hey Hannes, you can't keep this money to yourself." He didn't have long to be happy, and several big men around him surrounded him, putting their hands on his shoulders and looking like good brothers.
Hannes snorted and cursed in his heart, but he had to squeeze some smiles out of his face.
"Of course, this money will naturally be divided equally between us." Hannes' heart was bleeding, but he knew that if he really dared to take it alone, his "brothers" would definitely let him know what a real villain was.
"I don't care how you divide the money, I care more about which of you can take me to see Teresa of Poison Rose right away." The black robe was disdainful in his heart, such a small amount of money made these villains infighting, and he didn't know if they could complete the task.
The villains looked at each other, and eventually, after a bit of competition, the villain named Hannes carried the black robe through the underground passage that was twisted and surrounded by stinking water, and even the corpses of dead rats floating here and there, all the way to an entrance that ordinary people could not find.
When you enter the entrance, the whole space suddenly opens up, and it seems to be another world.
The black robe was a little frightened, the villain's guild had unknowingly developed to this point, and this underground had been connected by them, forming a large area, no less than an arena.
"When you get there, you go inside and you'll find Teresa of Poison Rose." Hannes pointed to a door and left without looking back, with a look of fear on his face, as if he didn't want to see Teresa.
"Teresa of the Poison Rose......" the black robe muttered, this name may not have been heard much by the nobles in Winterburg, and even if they did, they would probably soon forget, but in the underground world of Winterburg, this name is simply a legend.
It is rumored that she brutally killed those who dared to oppose her at a young age, and life seemed to be worthless in her hands, as long as she was unhappy, she could let that person die.
The black robe took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
It's just that the door is different from what he imagined, it is just an ordinary-looking room, and a woman is sweeping the floor.
The black robe swore that this woman was definitely a nobody, with long blue hair and a shawl, revealing some imaginary shirts and casual wear, making her look extremely charming, and the leather armor around her waist that made her figure more beautiful was like a jewel in the crown.
"Are you Teresa?" Maybe I don't know when it started, but the title of black robe has been brought in.
But although he asked, he felt that this should not be Teresa, after all, although the beauty in front of him was gorgeous, she didn't seem to be murderous, and it didn't seem to be doing this, and it was more suitable for her to return to the family as a daughter.
The woman didn't answer, but continued to clean the slightly messy table and chairs.
The black robe was a little disappointed, Teresa was not here today, leaving only such a maid, depending on the situation, she might even be deaf......
"Well, just wait here for Teresa to come back." The black robe sighed and lay down comfortably on the seat,
In fact, he really wanted to leave now, after all, it had taken a lot of hard work to finally find this place, but he didn't even see Teresa's face.
"I have a business to find Teresa, where is she?" The black robe's tone was a little harsh, after all, he felt like he had been tricked now.
It's just that the next moment he didn't dare to move, and there were a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, because a sharp dagger had been attached to his neck, and he didn't know when the "maid" had arrived behind him.
"Tell me, what business do you want to do with me?" Teresa's voice was cold, and she had the feeling that she was going to make the other party disappear forever if she didn't agree with her.
"You're Teresa?" The black robe was shocked.
Teresa ignored him, she put down the dagger and walked to the seat, sitting down with Erlang's legs crossed, the graceful figure and movements will definitely make the blood of ordinary men boil.
But at this moment, the black robe didn't feel this way, he could just swear, it was the most terrifying aura he felt, the other party just seemed to really plan to kill him, this was a madman who killed people without saying a word.
"What's the business, just say it." Teresa asked casually with her eyes slightly closed.
"Kill someone."
"Who?"
"Charles Chris!"
Teresa opened her eyes sharply and stared at the black robe, which only felt locked, as if the rose in front of her would pierce him with her thorns in the next moment.
Charles Chris is going to inherit the title of the old earl and become the new earl, and it would be too much to say if he hadn't heard of the guild under his domain.
"Who are you?" Teresa asked slowly.
"The Guild of Villains doesn't seem to have a rule for asking guests about their identity." The black robe pretended to be relaxed.
"Kill the new Earl? Haha, I hope you're not kidding. Teresa sneered, this is simply a dream, not to mention how noble the status of the earl is, how many guards he has with him, just after killing the earl, I am afraid that there will be no place for her in heaven and earth, and every nobleman will feel deeply disgusted with this kind of thing.
"I'm certainly not kidding." The black robe's voice was low, and although her eyes were covered, Teresa could feel the other party's eyes.
"It might be better for me to take you and send you to the Count to receive your reward." Teresa sneered.
"You wouldn't do that, I don't think Teresa of Blood Rose would be a person who would give a client to another person out of timidity." The black robe said calmly, in fact, he was also a little panicked in his heart, although even if he was caught, he would not reveal anything, how could Charles believe the words of a villain, but being caught was likely to make him die.
"Oh, I think Winterburg...... No one in the nearby counties would dare to take on such a business. Teresa turned the dagger in her hand.
"Others don't dare, but I believe Teresa of Blood Rose dare."
"I can offer a large sum of money, more than all the businesses you've done before combined! And I can guarantee you a safe departure from Winterburg. ”
Rich can make demons grind, but didn't Judas betray Jesus just for thirteen gold coins? At least that's what he believes.
"Looks like you've investigated me very clearly." Teresa licked her lips, yes, she is a lawless person, and there is only one thought in her eyes about what is extremely dangerous in the eyes of others, and that is whether what can be obtained is worth her doing!
The black robe smiled, he knew that he had already succeeded more than half of his success by this step.
"This is the deposit, this is where Charles will go in a while, and there won't be many guards around him at that time, and that will be the best place and time for you to act." The black robe threw out a piece of paper and a bag of coins, and on the paper was all kinds of useful information.
Theresa didn't look at the information, and she shook the coin, and the sound was crisp.
Teresa smiled lightly, hanging on her face like a bright moon that made people feel like a spring breeze, I am afraid that no one would have thought that such a smile would be a murderous demon.
She's in a good mood right now, and she can feel that the money bag is full of Jinnatas, and there are a lot of them!
"Very good, I took over this business."
"Then I wish you success."
Seemingly unwilling to stay here, the black robe saw Teresa take it and immediately tightened the robe on his body and left quickly.
"The glamorous nobles are still filthy under their skins...... "Teresa whispered as she continued to turn the dagger in her hand, as if it were her habit......
