Chapter 0166: Chance Encounters and Bad News
Aldolph eventually walked away.
Because he really has no evidence that it was Nock who cheated Mark.
Moreover, this statement is also a bit untenable.
After all, why did Nock pit Mark?
Jealous? Envy?
Two people can complete silver-level tasks, and one more mark may become a burden.
After all, after Mark left the help of the two, the success rate of those missions was really ugly.
Even "Violet" proved that without Mark, they could still successfully complete the bronze mission.
Therefore, Mark's role is at most to treat the team's people in time and make the team have a better endurance output.
The strong team is still strong, and the weak team, with Mark, is still weak.
So, with or without Mark, it's the same for both of them, so why do people still pit Mark.
Besides, I didn't listen to Nock!
The first silver mission Mark completed at the beginning was to pick up the cheap of Nock and Leo.
The credibility of this statement is heightened by the fact that Nok was seen raising a cub of a demon eagle.
Therefore, even if Aldolph was unwilling, he did not dare to expose what he knew.
Otherwise, it won't be Nock and Leo who will be scolded, but him, the elder!
He had just forced Nock to help Mark pay back the money in front of everyone.
If Nock bites back, saying that he can't force the debt, and is annoyed and angry, then he Aldolph won't be ruined!
Nock didn't expect Aldolph to leave so easily.
But think about it, the adventurer's union has so much money in a day, just fifty gold coins, a dime a dime.
Big deal, let out the rumors that Mark owes money to the Adventure Union, and Father Molière can be cheeky and not pay it back?
It was thought that the adventurers earned a lot, but it was the adventurers' union that was really ruthless!
No one knows how much they charge their employer, anyway, on the adventurer's side, a task is charged 20% of the fee!
Even Nock and Leo, as the only scarce talents who can complete the silver task, have been deducted a 10% handling fee.
This is still a discount given by Aldolph himself, otherwise the two of them will also be deducted by 20%.
Nock is sure that the adventurer's union must eat both ends, and the employer must have charged a fee, and it must be higher than 20%.
Don't ask, ask is business experience.
After all, Nock had also been a partner of the Adventurers' Guild for a while!
He even has a contract to cooperate with Seine!
If Nock returned to Tarn Village at this time, he would not need the consent of the Seine City side to continue the Adventurer's Tavern. The legal one, the adventurer's union has absolutely no opinion and no objection.
This is also the reason why Nock dares not to give face to Aldolph, a gold-level powerhouse.
Because he knew that he could earn money for Aldolph and contribute to his promotion!
Nock is fearless.
Leo doesn't care anymore, he is now playing the role of Mu Ne's entourage knight, he just needs to keep an eye on Nock at all times to avoid being sneak attacked, and leave the rest of the operations to Nok.
Anyway, these days, Leo has faintly touched the bottleneck, and he just wants to find a master to make a move, what if he breaks through?
He wished that Nock had Aldolph into a fight.
In the city, can Aldolph still kill people because of a war of words?
It's a pity that Aldolph confessed to this cowardice, which made Leo, who had no fight, express regret and disappointment.
Forget it, anyway, Nock's purpose was achieved.
I had enough rest for the past two days.
It's time to go back and have a showdown with Molière.
If he still can't make up his mind, then Nock won't play with him.
Walking out of the Adventurers' Guild, the two of them strolled down the streets, occasionally passing by young ladies who were attracted to Nock's handsome appearance.
The current Nock is still disguised as black except for his hair color, which is his real appearance, and his appearance is handsome and extraordinary.
However, Leo's charm is not far behind, and those passing ladies frequently send autumn waves to Leo who passes by.
"This is a big city!"
Nock looked left and right, and his heart was full of emotion.
Compared to life in Tarn Village, this is a paradise!
"What are you looking at?"
Leo asked.
"There are so many beautiful women on the street, my eyes are dazzled."
Nock laughed.
"When did you become a scoundrel?"
Leo cursed with a smile, glancing several times at the luxurious carriage of the roadside guards, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Leo. β
Sensing that Leo's expression was wrong, Nock asked the doubts in his heart.
Leo stopped, looked at the carriage on the side of the road not far away, and asked Nock, "Don't you think that carriage over there is a little familiar?" And the guards, I seem to have seen them somewhere. β
Nock smiled and looked in the direction Leo was looking, "You shouldn't be dazzled, how can there be a ...... we are familiar with here?"
I'll go!
It's really a familiar carriage!
This isn't Madame Freya's carriage! β
"Lady Freya?
Do you mean the lady Freya who has been praying to you, has long blond hair, and wants to eat you? β
Leo said in surprise
Maybe the two of them were too conspicuous, or maybe the guards noticed that they kept staring at the carriage.
The guards next to the carriage couldn't help but look towards the positions of the two.
Then one of the guards walked to the window of the carriage with a little surprise, and knocked on it.
"What's the matter?" A cold woman's voice came from the carriage.
"Returning to Madame, I would like to see Father Lane, but his appearance has changed a little, and he looks much younger. But the person next to him, I must be Father Lane's guardian knight, Lord Gareth. β
"Oh? Did you read that right? The cold voice was skeptical.
"My subordinates have had the privilege of seeing His Excellency Gareth and Viscount Fred fighting, and they will definitely not mistake His Excellency Gareth."
"That's definitely right. Jon, go and bring Father Lane and Lord Gareth over, and say I have something important to discuss. β
Jon's guards were ordered to take the order, urging the horses towards the two of Nock.
Looking at the guards who came over, Nock smiled: "It seems that you are not mistaken, it is really her." I actually sent someone to invite us. β
Leo replied, "Just don't send us here. β
"You!" Nock nodded Leo, knowing he was joking.
It's not that Madame Freya doesn't know the strength of the two of them, how can she just send one guard over and want to arrest them.
Sure enough, the guard came to the two of them, turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly hugged their chests.
"I've seen Father Lane, Lord Gareth, and our lady has an invitation to say that we have something important to discuss."
"Huh? Events? Nock had thought that Lady Freya was just happy to see him, and wanted to invite him over to continue admiring his beauty.
But since the other party used the word "important matter", it would not be untargeted.
The credit of the nobility is not something to joke about.
"Since it is an invitation from the old people, please lead the way. Let's go over and say hello to Lady Freya. β
Soon, Jon brought the two to the carriage.
"Madam, Father Lane and His Excellency Gareth have arrived."
"Ask them to get in the car." Inside the carriage, a lazy voice came out, completely different from the cold voice before.
"It's not good!" Instinctively, Nock refused.
On this street, the two men got into a woman's carriage, which is somewhat unreasonable.
"Father Lane, please don't shirk it, what I'm about to say is inconvenient for people to be heard outside."
Lady Freya spoke, and Nock didn't want to say anything more.
None of the women in the family care, if the two of them push back again, it will be a little unreasonable.
So, under the watchful eye of the guard, the two opened the car door and walked in.
"Long time no see, Father Lane, Lord Gareth."
Madame Freya, who was still in the carriage, greeted the two men in the carriage.
Nock and Leo hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet Mrs. here, it's really fate." I don't know who the person next to me is ......."
Nock and Leo looked at a beautiful woman with a serious face sitting next to Lady Freya, waiting for an introduction.
Madame Freya suddenly said, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you. This is my butler, Charlotte. β
"Charlotte has met Father Lane and His Excellency Gareth, and has often heard my wife speak of you. If you meet for the first time, please take care of it. β
"Ms. Charlotte is gracious." Nock was polite for a moment, then looked at Freya and asked, "I wonder what Madame wants to say when she invites me to get in the car?" β
Freya looked at Nock and Leo with a slightly embarrassed expression, and cautiously reminded: "I have bad news here, which is related to the two of you, but please try to stay calm after listening to my words." β
Nock nodded and said, "Madame has something to say, and the two of us are not fragile people. β
Lady Freya glanced at the calm Nock and Leo, and lightly opened Sakura's lips: "After you disappeared, the Makina Tavern caught fire. Two bodies were found at the scene......"
"Click!"
"Click!"
Two strange noises interrupted Lady Freya's words, and Charlotte, the butler, twitched as she looked at the wood broken by the two Nocks.
"Don't worry, the bodies of Magina's mother and daughter have not been found, they are only defined as missing!"
Madame Freya didn't dare to sell it, so she quickly explained.
More than ten minutes later, in a teahouse, Madame Freya sat face to face with Nock and Leo, and continued the conversation on the carriage over tea.
"So, Lady Freya, is the Makina Tavern really on fire?"
Nock turned to look at Lady Freya.
I saw that Lady Freya frowned and nodded slightly.
"Although the tavern is on fire, I'm not sure if Miss Magina is still alive, perhaps, she's been burned to ashes."
"Maybe she's ......"
Lady Freya couldn't go on.
At this moment, both Nock and Leo's faces darkened.
