Section 608 Greed

"My dear nephew, you may be underestimating your uncle and me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAm I that stupid?" The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Tell you, in fact, I already have a belly case." With your eyesight and experience, when we meet for a while, as long as we are a little tempted, we can naturally easily tell whether that guy is something we can provoke. If it's a big person who can't be provoked, we will make a welcoming gesture to get the other person right. But if it's just a shitty mercenary, hmph, we'll be able to arrest him with confidence!"
"Understood!" the young man smiled bitterly, "I hope you don't make a mistake, uncle, otherwise it will be a big deal!"
"Don't worry, can't you trust my eyesight?" the middle-aged man said proudly: "I'm an official from the Imperial Foreign Ministry, and I deal with these guys every day, no matter how they hide it, they will definitely not be able to hide it from me!"
"I hope so!" the young man sighed.
At this moment, a puff of dust and smoke suddenly rose from the distance of the road, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard. The middle-aged nobleman immediately burst into spirits and said, "They're coming!"
The young nobleman immediately raised his head and looked carefully into the distance. I saw a relatively large caravan slowly approaching. Looking at their dusty appearance, it is obvious that they have come a long way. In a short time, they drove dozens of carts to the front, and were immediately stopped by the knights of the Holy Knights of Light.
Soon, Klaas, the owner of the caravan, appeared with more than a dozen mercenaries, including Constani and Vivian. And Sven and Chrischen were on guard not far behind them, although they felt a faint murderous aura from these knights, they didn't care much. After all, this place is already close to Bright Yanjing, and it is almost impossible to brazenly pretend to be a robber of the Bright Holy Knights. It is very likely that these people are looking for some fugitives, eighty percent has nothing to do with them, plus the old evil has an extremely high status in the Holy See, and he does not think that he will be attacked by the Holy Knights of Light, so the old evil and the others have relaxed their vigilance, and the old evil did not even make do with the front at all, just hid in the middle of the crowd of the caravan and drank quietly.
However, to the surprise of the old evil and the others, after Klaas came to the two nobles, he was very familiar with him and greeted: "My lord, you are here?
"Excuse me!" The middle-aged nobleman immediately smiled and said, "I received your news, can I not come?" Okay, don't talk nonsense, introduce me first!"
It turned out that Klaas knew that it would be difficult for him to quietly seize the space ring with his own ability, so he asked for his surname to inform his master, a great nobleman with a very high status in the Bright Empire, that is, this middle-aged man named Tiraz.
Tiraz is the second son of a great family, although he was not able to inherit the title, but with his own ability and the power of his father-in-law's family, he still obtained the title of a count, and also held a high position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Don't look at a person whose position is not very high, but after all, he has a network of two great families, and the energy in his hands is huge, so he can have such a huge caravan.
As for the other young man, it was his sister's son. Because of a chance, he became a captain of the Holy Knights of Light at a young age, commanding a thousand Holy Knights of Light, and his status in the army is extremely high, and he is already a general.
In fact, the little general named Kotler was not willing to take his knights to do this. But he owes this uncle a huge favor. Because his family was not very rich at the beginning, his mother was a concubine and had no status, and his father was the same, and he was a small nobleman, so he basically couldn't get along in Guangming Yan Kyoto. Thanks to the help of his uncle Tiraz, his family gradually improved. In particular, Tirazto had a lot of connections, and sending him to the Holy Knights of Light gave him a chance, thus winning his current status. Therefore, for Tiraz's request, although he objected in his heart, he had to come, "Yes, yes!" After listening to Tiraz's words, Klaas immediately pointed to Konstani and said, "My lord, this is the leader of the Blue Rose Mercenary Regiment, Miss Konstani!"
"Oh!" Tiraz immediately turned his gaze to Constantine, taking a closer look at the woman who was not very good-looking.
How shrewd Konstani was, as soon as he saw this posture, he knew that something was wrong, and vigilantly pulled Vivien back a few steps. Seeing this, Vivien immediately stepped forward, blocked Constani's body, and said to Tiraz very unceremoniously, "What do you want to do?"
As soon as Tiraz saw the dress on Constani and the ugly face that had been transformed, he directly concluded that she was definitely not a nobleman. Looking at Vivian's demeanor and actions, she didn't have the temperament of everyone's ladies at all, so she was even more sure of her thoughts, so she immediately glared at her eyes and said angrily, "Bold, where is Diao Min? When you see Lord Ben, why don't you kneel?"
According to the tradition of the mainland, after meeting the nobles, the commoners had to kneel down and salute first. But Vivian, as the daughter of the Wind Sword Saint, even the prince only laughed when she saw it, how could she salute him?
I have to say that although Vivian's words are very refreshing, it is a pity that they are all vulgar words of commoners, and there is no aristocratic elegance at all. If it is a serious aristocratic lady, it is also extremely elegant to scold, just like this sentence, if you change a lady like Constani, you will say: "Your Excellency may be noble, but unfortunately, you are not qualified to let me kneel!"
In fact, this is not to say that Vivian is spicy, it only shows that she and Constani received a different education. The Constani family is full of learned nobles, and even her younger brother is a little adult. The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years of aristocratic culture is not something that can be learned casually, it must be imperceptibly learned.
And although Vivien is also a nobleman, it is a pity that her father was born as a slave, and later fought for many years, no matter how she pretended, she was not elegant. And her mother is also from a small aristocratic background, and she doesn't have much aristocratic temperament, and her brothers are all battle maniacs, and with such a family, Vivien obviously can't be elegant anyway. Even if she later entered the Noble Etiquette Academy, she couldn't completely kill her straightforward aura from the market.
Therefore, Lord Tiraz, who was born in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can see at a glance from these words and Vivian's chest movements that she is not a regular lady. A serious young lady would definitely not stand tall in front of so many men, that would be too unseemly.
After this discovery, Tiraz's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost decided that the other party was a group of dirt buns. However, Tiraz was not a reckless person, so he did not dare to make a rash decision with this loophole. After all, Vivian's identity may also be a maid, and that big family also has maids, and it is natural for maids to be rude.
However, at this moment, Tiraz suddenly made another major discovery, that is, he actually saw a spatial ring on Vivien's finger. It turned out that the girls saw that the old evil had unscrupulously started stealing food from the space ring, and they couldn't help it, and began to steal snacks to eat together, and just now they were eating, but this suddenly happened, and Constani and Vivian hurried over. And Constani was careful and temporarily hid his spatial ring, but Vivien was so thick that she forgot to hide the spatial ring given to her by the old evil. As a result, Tiraz was in the eyes of him.
You must know that a big family may give the maid excellent treatment, but no matter how good it is, they will definitely not give them such a thing as a space ring. So as soon as Tiraz saw the spatial ring on Vivien's finger, he immediately concluded that Vivien was definitely not a maid. Since she is not a maid, and she doesn't look like a lady, then she must be a lucky mercenary who occasionally gets treasures.
Although it may seem, Tiraz's inference seems a bit absurd, because the person may also be an upstart nobleman. However, there is actually some truth in Tiraz's judgment, because all the spatial rings on the continent are extremely rare, at least as far as Tiraz knows, they are all in the hands of the great family. Since it is a great family with a long heritage, it is obvious that the female surnames cultivated are all extremely elegant ladies. And although there are many nouveau riche nobles, it is a pity that it is basically impossible to have such a thing as a space ring.
Therefore, Tiraz, who wanted to understand this, almost subconsciously, decided that Vivien must be a mercenary who got the space ring by shit luck, and she had no origin at all. Therefore, he immediately became emboldened, and immediately said angrily: "Dare to make a fool of the people, and dare to talk to Lord Ben like this! Come on, arrest them all for me!"
"Yes!" As Tiraz snapped, not only did the hundred Paladins of Light around him threaten Constantine and Vivien, but the other 200 people who were lying in ambush on both sides also appeared, surrounding the caravan from the left and right flanks.
Seeing this situation, Constani and Vivian naturally retreated in fright, while Sven and Chrischen hurried over to protect them. As for the other mercenaries, under Klaas's suggestion, they all withdrew, leaving only the members of the Blue Rose Mercenary Group.
At this time, the old evil finally couldn't sit still, and walked out with a sneer, ignoring the surrounding circle of light paladins, directly blocking in front of the second daughter, and sneered disdainfully: "That said to arrest them?"
"What Master Ben said!" Tiraz immediately burst into anger when he heard the old evil's provocative words, "What? Do you dare to have doubts?"
"That's right!" the old evil sneered, "I just have doubts!"
And Constani also followed: "You actually mobilized the Holy Knights of Light to arrest people without permission, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?"
