Chapter 31: Elena
Slum Star Guild Headquarters.
"President, you're finally back!"
As soon as Qian Xinghe saw Fang Chen and his party returning, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward enthusiastically.
Ryan said: "I've seen adults! ”
Fang Chen said: "These days, is there anything important? ”
"There's one thing! The Black Snake Gang in this slum has demanded protection money from us. He made each of us have to pay a protection fee of 1 silver coin a month, otherwise we had to hand over the women to sell in their brothels! ”
"Ryan sent someone to inquire about it, and the Black Snake Gang is the head snake of this slum. They are said to have colluded with the city guards and ran casinos and brothels in the Rhine. The source of the women in the brothel is the women in this slum. “
"They are very ruthless, and the people who oppose them in this slum have become corpses in the stinking gutter."
"Due to the threat of the Black Snake Gang, our people can only huddle here these days, not daring to go out."
Qian Xinghe's face was very ugly. He was entrusted with a heavy task by Fang Chen, but these days he could only stay here and wait for death, which made him very ashamed.
Although Fang Chen took away the main force of the Star Guild, there was Ryan and his Xiongqi Goat Adventure Group. The strength of the Star Guild is still far superior to that of the Black Snake Gang.
However, the Black Snake Gang is the head snake in this area, and the city guards colluded together to form a huge black force, which is their unscrupulous confidence. If Qian Xinghe and the others forcibly kill the Black Snake Gang, they are afraid that they will immediately face the encirclement and suppression of the city guards.
There are many strong people in Rhine City, and there is no shortage of B-level knights, and the power of the Star Guild cannot compete with them at all.
Fang Chen said: "I know! I'll take care of that! By the way, I've done enough to be officially knighted as a Knight of the Kingdom of Herenice! ”
Rhine's eyes flashed with excitement, and he trembled with excitement: "Knight!" Lord Caesar, you have been awarded the title of knight! You're amazing! ”
Although Rhine became an adventurer, what he wanted most was to be a nobleman with his own fiefdom. Even if he is just a knight, he can have a superior status. The status of a noble knight is also far above that of a commoner. He was also well aware of the difficulty of obtaining a title of nobility.
Even if a B-level powerhouse with a superior professional rank is a knight who fights all his life, he may not be able to obtain a kingdom knight canonization. No nobleman wants to easily divide his realm to canonize a new nobleman.
Fang Chen said: "Rhine, you take someone to deliver a message, and let the leader of the Black Snake Gang come to see me at night!" Tell him it's his last chance! ”
Rhine said: "Yes! ”
After dealing with this trivial matter casually, Fang Chen came to the Rhine City Lord's Mansion again to ask to see Homus.
After waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion for an hour, Fang Chen obtained permission and came to the City Lord's Mansion meeting room to meet Holmes.
Fang Chen said: "I've seen Young Master Holmes!" ”
Holmes sat on the sofa, looked at Fang Chen who walked into the living room, did not get up, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with an arrogant face: "Caesar, what is the matter, say it!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that Fang Chen had just advanced to become a knight with meritorious service, Holmes would not have received a little person like him at all. Even if Fang Chen advanced to become a knight, he was only at the bottom of the nobility. Hormos was only a little curious, so he met with him.
Fang Chen said: "I came this time to want the Selu family to marry!" ”
Holmes sneered with contempt: "Just you, a mere knight, also want to marry my Seru family? It's overwhelming! ”
"I fell in love with Miss Elena of House Seru at first sight. Persuade the Earl, to give her to me. As long as this can be successful, I will give you 10,000 gold coins and 2,000 gold coins to you. This is a small gift, not a tribute, please accept it! ”
Fang Chen smiled slightly, opened a box, and a delicate sapphire necklace appeared inside.
"Elena!"
Holmes originally wanted to scold Fang Chen, but after hearing this name and the money Fang Chen proposed, he hesitated.
Elena is the product of a one-night stand between the Count of Rheini and a beautiful prostitute. The prostitute didn't even become the concubine of the Count of Rhine. After Elena was born, she was also not valued by the family, and grew up almost like a servant.
Holmes has no feelings for Elena's sister at all, and 2,000 gold coins is a lot of money.
In the slave market of the Rhine, a good-looking virgin slave was only 100 gold. 2,000 gold is enough for Homus to spend some time drinking.
"You're waiting here!"
Homus left a word, got up and walked out. He directly found Count Rhine in the study and relayed Fang Chen's words one by one.
Count Rhine sneered: "Caesar, this guy wants to cling to our family. He knew we couldn't marry Tess and Susan to him, so he chose Elena. Go back and tell him that I can give him 10,000 gold coins! Lovely Lena is not from our family! We won't admit that the family is marrying him, and he doesn't want to get any benefit from our family! ”
"Yes, Father!"
Homus left the study, returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and said with a hint of mockery on his face: "Caesar, since you like Elena so much, then I will reward her to you!" However, she's just the daughter of a lowly prostitute, not from our Seru family! You can't claim to be married to our family of Seru out there! Within three days, you must hand over 12,000 gold coins. Otherwise, you do it at your own risk! ”
Fang Chen's face instantly became very ugly, and he said anxiously: "Young Master Holmes! ”
Homus said coldly: "Okay!! Shut up! Danis, take him out, and give him Elena by the way! ”
Danis came out from the side, looked at Fang Chen with cold eyes and said, "Caesar, follow me!" ”
"Okay!"
Fang Chen sighed, got up and followed Danis's side, and walked out.
Under the leadership of Danis, Fang Chen came to a simple wooden house.
Danis said, "Elena, come out!" ”
A little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with shoulder-length silver hair, dry and split hair, a thin figure, bright eyes, and delicate facial features, but a huge black spot on the right side of her face, from the center of her eyebrows to her neck, came out of it.
Danis said, "Elena, from today onwards, he is your master!" ”
"I see!"
Elena glanced up at Fang Chen, then lowered her head, and followed Fang Chen as if she had accepted her fate.
"It's finally here! The future saint of the kingdom of Herenice! ”
Fang Chen forced a smile and looked at Elena carefully with a straight face, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure. His purpose is not to marry the Seru family at all, but to Elena herself!
