870. Mercenary Chiefs and Witches
Emmanuel Joe's mercenary station is located between the underground market and the galloping horse chamber of commerce in the out-of-town district, and as Rand continues to rise in status, the former leader of the army is no longer what it used to be, and in a few months, he has purchased the adjacent courtyard around it, making his military station a comprehensive venue that combines the chamber of commerce, barracks, school, training ground, and dormitory.
Knowing that Rand prefers children with an educational foundation, he specially invited a few children of down-and-out nobles to teach the new children literacy and arithmetic, invited reliable wandering knights to teach the children training, and found some magic plants from Gatsby's black market to distribute to each of their meals.
After a few months of trying, the probability of the children he sent to Night Qicheng to be stimulated has greatly increased, and the commissions and potions he has harvested have also doubled, and now he is trying to break through to become a high-level knight after winning the second Demon Champion Lady, or find a junior demonic beast for himself to use as a mount.
In addition to these, his own sphere of influence has also risen, from a few blocks in the past, to now covering nearly 1/4 of the out-of-city districts, including all the main buildings of the Galloping Horse family outside the city.
The main building of his military station is also several times larger than in the past, and the room belonging to him, the mercenary leader, also occupies an entire floor on the 6th floor of the main building.
Now in Emmanuel Joe's reception room, he sat somewhat restrainedly behind his desk, and across from him sat a mysterious woman with a silver mask.
"Mr. Emmanuel, please don't get me wrong, I'm here to find my two juniors." The mysterious woman's voice was a little hoarse, making people hear it confusingly, "Their names are Su Jia and Finney, and someone has seen them sent to you by someone from their own family. ”
"Forehead......" Emmanuel's eyes unconsciously drifted to the white part of the woman's neck below, "Finney was picked up by a merchant named Gatsby, and Sujia went to Night Qicheng. ”
"Oh, Night Qicheng?" The woman sounded a little lost, "I've heard of that city, it seems that it was very inconvenient in the past." ”
As she spoke, the woman pulled out a small bag and threw it on Emmanuel's table, and by the clanging of the clatter, she could tell that there were a lot of gold coins in it.
"Could you please bring Su Jia here and let me see, I am her distant relative, and I miss her very much."
The woman's voice was full of temptation, the mercenary leader's right hand had already subconsciously wanted to take the bag of gold coins, but was suddenly held down by the left hand, the woman in front of her was undoubtedly a witch, and accepting the witch's trade without permission would cause big trouble.
"Ma'am, you can go to Finney first, Mr. Gatsby, it won't ......"
Emmanuel was still trying to make a fool of himself, when an old man in black robe with a powerful aura suddenly walked behind the masked woman.
"Someone who can't open his eyes is coming, I'm going to deal with him!" The old man's voice was even hoarse, and every word he uttered seemed to come from hell, making the mercenary leader tremble.
"Uncle, this is the royal capital, you have to be careful......" Before the masked woman could finish speaking, the black robe disappeared into the room out of thin air.
"Ma'am, it looks like someone is looking for you." Emmanuel cautiously probed.
"It doesn't matter, there are always those who don't open their eyes." The masked woman said nonchalantly, "Could it be the Knights of the Royal Capital that you called?" Guess what, can that pampered waste deal with a dark magus? ”
Emmanuel instinctively trembled when he heard the words of the dark magister, the scene from less than a year ago still recurs in his dreams, so he said: "I can't evaluate the combat power of a mage, but it is obvious that at the beginning of this year, there was another dark mage in the outer city area who thought the same thing. ”
Seeing that the mercenary leader in front of her refused to accept the gold coin, the masked woman sighed lightly and said regretfully: "Mr. Emmanuel, if you don't accept my employment, I can only find someone else to replace you, I'm afraid this will be ...... for you."
"Boom~"
Before the woman could finish the rest of the sentence, the walls and windows behind Emmanuel were torn open like paper, and Rand rode a mid-level frost wolf through the wall, carrying a head in his left hand and wielding the sword of the magic net in his right hand.
"Ahh
By the time the woman reacted, her thigh and right shoulder had been firmly clamped by the wolf's claws, and she couldn't use a trace of magic.
Rand patted the frostwolf under him, causing him to release his front paws, and the woman reacted and immediately pulled out her knife and tried to stab the frostwolf, but was slapped on the ground again.
"I am the court viscount of Duke Bennett!"
The woman's silver mask fell to the ground, revealing her delicate countenance, slightly dark skin, and the sharp horns of the demon that could be seen in the bun.
"I suspect you assassinated the Duke of Night Qicheng." Rand sat on the frostwolf and roared.
When the woman saw that she was completely unable to move, she hurriedly quibbled: "Impossible! I don't even know the duke! ”
"Coincidentally, I am," Rand said leisurely, "you were about to assassinate me." ”
"......" The woman was speechless, she didn't expect a duke to be so low that he would personally deal with the gang.
"Lan ...... Are you alright, Duke? While the woman hesitated, Inuya and Dugan rushed into the sixth floor with a large group of knights, and the accompanying knights almost filled the small courtyard at the core of the mercenary station.
"Lord Duke, I am Duke Bennett's man!" The woman yelled, "You can ask him, me and ...... Although this magister in your hand has demon blood, it is recognized by the empire ......"
Rand shook his head in front of the woman and said, "Bennett admits that it is his business, but this magister is a demon webwalker who is suspected of stealing the authority of His Majesty Willy, and as his favorite, I cannot tolerate such a blasphemous person jumping around in front of me." ”
At this moment, the woman's expression was full of innocence and fear, as if the Rand in front of her was the demon of the dark line, and she and his uncle were just innocent victims: "...... You. ”
Rand jumped down from the demon wolf, approached the woman, and asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you, what is the origin of this gang?" ”
After trying to break free from the wolf's claws again to no avail, the woman said a little embarrassed: "My lord, we are not a gang, I am the court viscount of the Bennett Pillar, and that is the private soldier of the Bennett Pillar!" ”
"Private soldiers?" Rand muttered, "Then why the hell are you here?" Where are your dens? ”
