"I mean, how much money did you give that guy?"

After leaving the residence of the Home Secretary Blaus, Javier had maintained that smiling face, so that although he did not speak, everyone could see that he must have learned a lot from his trip.

"Huh?" After hearing Raymond's voice, he came back to his senses and responded, "It's a lot of money, but it's well worth it." ”

"Oh, yes, and what did you get?" said Raymond skeptically.

The more he came into contact with Javier, the more difficult it became for Raymond to understand these Lowell Chamber of Commerce people, sometimes they had to fight for baht, and sometimes they didn't spend their money as money at all. In Javier's mouth, the so-called "valuable" things that he bought at a large price may be worthless waste in the eyes of others.

It's like spending 20,000 gold coins just to meet people.

Unaware that Raymond had equated himself with the loser in his heart, Javier took out an official letter from his bosom: "Tonight at the palace of Prime Minister Duke Charlie, a banquet will be held to welcome envoys from various countries, and the Lowville Chamber of Commerce is honored to be invited." ”

"Are you going to sell it?" Raymond couldn't help but say.

Seeming amused by his words, Javier laughed: "Of course, it can also be said that this is a good opportunity for countries to know our Lowville Chamber of Commerce. However, I prefer that we can take the opportunity to understand the situation on the Veronica continent first, and then talk about the rest slowly. ”

"Wait, what do you say about us?" Raymond could tell that something was wrong.

Javier shook the official letter in his hand: "Of course, it's us." In this banquet, the Lowville Chamber of Commerce has the qualifications of three people, and I don't want to waste two-thirds of what I got at a big price. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Raymond: "Therefore, I hope you can go with me." And, of course, the mysterious Mr. Freddie, I think he will be pleased. ”

Unexpectedly, Javier pulled himself in, and Raymond couldn't help muttering, "I thought I was just here to be a bodyguard." ”

Javier smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If Lord Raymond's ambition is only two small towns, I didn't say anything about it just now. However, Lord Reed expects much more from you, so I am obligated to get you in, even for the sake of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Raymond is certainly not short-sighted, and he knows very well that this is a rare opportunity. Without the help of the Lowville Chamber of Commerce, hiding in the remote Hairington, God knows when he will be able to cross paths with people of this level.

For those who are interested in showing their skills on the continent of Veronica, the significance of this is self-evident.

So despite the utilitarian flavor of Javier's words, Raymond was very grateful.

"Well, there's not much time, and I'll have to get you a dress for the dinner when I get back, which is an essential investment. Javier still said in his businessman's words, "It's too late to train etiquette, but I'm sure you'll be able to handle it." ”

Everyone talked and walked into a secluded alley. Suddenly, Bath, who was walking beside Raymond, pricked up her ears.

"What's wrong?" Raymond asked.

"It's like... What's the sound?"

Before Baste could finish speaking, she heard a loud bang, and a wall to the left of the group suddenly shattered, and a man flew out of the gap and fell into the middle of the street.

This change was so sudden that everyone was startled, and the soldiers behind Raymond were all wary, and Baste also touched the hilt of the knife with his backhand.

"Bathter, go take a look. Raymond winked at Catwoman.

Bastet said yes and was about to go when another man stepped out of the gap in the wall.

When they saw her, everyone looked surprised.

It was a girl of about 15 or 6 years old, not tall, delicate, with short dark brown hair only ear-length, and a cold expression, which made it difficult to get close to. Her figure is thin and still shows a hint of childishness, but she wears a standard knight's light armor and a long sword hanging from her waist, which has a different kind of heroic spirit.

At this moment, the girl kicked the gravel off her feet and slowly walked towards the man who flew out earlier.

Seeing her, the man looked frightened, and even rolled back and retreated: "Who are you, why are you chasing me?"

"My young lady wants to ask you something. The girl said lightly.

"She, who is she?"

"You don't need to know, come with me at once. The girl approached the man.

Suddenly, it seemed that only then did she notice Raymond and the others on the side, and the girl turned her head to look at them vigilantly.

"Young master?" Bath looked inquiring.

"Forget it, care so much about others. Raymond waved his hand.

Then, he smiled at the girl, and made a sideways gesture to give way, with a casual posture of asking you to do so.

Knowing what he meant, the girl's face turned slightly bright, and she turned her gaze to the man again.

Although it is not clear what the two men have a grudge with, Raymond is not interested in meddling. He remembered the last time his curiosity was forced to run here from the continent of Mortina.

Javier was an old man, so he was naturally not interested in paying attention to this sudden situation, and he coughed lightly: "There is something important in the evening, let's go back to the inn by another way." ”

The group was about to turn around the other way according to their words, but the man was in a hurry, but suddenly rushed over to this side: "Wait a minute, please help me." ”

"Huh?" I didn't expect him to make such a move, and everyone was stunned.

Before Raymond could say anything, the man said in a loud voice, "Do you know who I am? ”

The girl walked over, and she held out her hand to Raymond: "Hand him over." ”

"No, she's crazy, I'm going to die, help me!" The man simply shrank into Raymond's team and relied on them directly.

"Oops, that's a problem. Facing the man asking for help and the girl looking directly at him, Raymond couldn't help but scratch his head helplessly.

Of course, Raymond didn't want to get involved in this matter, although he could ignore it and forcibly hand over the man, but looking at the other party's pitiful appearance, he really couldn't do it. Besides, the girl has not been very polite, she has just made concessions, and it is a bit too much to say that she will do what she does at this time.

Baste obviously had the same thoughts, and she snorted: "Young master, why do you want to listen to her, we won't hand it over." ”

"I don't want to engage in unnecessary conflict. The girl's face flashed with anger, she pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, and said slowly: "But I must take this person away." ”

"Me too. Raymond shrugged: "Otherwise, let's talk about it." ”

Before the girl could reply, she heard a voice come from behind: "Duncan, you are here, what happened?"

Raymond turned his head to see a group of heavily armed men walking out of an alley behind. As soon as he saw them, the man named Duncan was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over: "Captain, it's all because of that woman." As soon as I was about to come back to my life, I was targeted by her and chased here. ”

The captain was a man with a thin face wearing a knight's armor and a shawl with long hair. Seeing Duncan pointing at the girl, he frowned, "You said her?"

"That's right. Duncan nodded again and again, with a look of palpitation: "She's so strong, I'm not her opponent at all, if it weren't for these people..."

Before he could finish speaking, a lazy voice sounded: "Duncan, what do I want, you didn't lose it, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Duncan's face showed an expression ten times more frightened than just now. He hurriedly ran to a man behind the crowd: "Temple... The host, here. ”

The man took a letter-like thing from Duncan: "Has anyone else seen it?"

"Nope. Duncan quickly shook his head.

"Master, what about these people?" asked the man named Belen, looking back.

"Grab that girl, I want to know who is interested in my business. The man thought for a moment, then waved his hand lazily, "Kill them all." ”

"What!?"

Unexpectedly, the other party would say such a thing, Javier was startled, and hurriedly said: "Wait, this is a misunderstanding, we have nothing to do with this matter." ”

Duncan also hurriedly said: "Master, he is right, it was these people who helped me, so I was not captured by that woman." ”

"Really?" the man muttered, and then the crowd stepped to the front.

Only then did Raymond see his appearance clearly.

The man was about 20 years old, quite tall and a little thin, but he was very handsome, and his blue eyes were like a bottomless pool of water, so clear that there seemed to be no blemish. Judging from his dress, he is obviously a nobleman, and he has a long-term pampered temperament in his gestures, and his blonde hair is slightly messy, which adds a touch of laziness to him.

From the point of view of male surnames, this person can be said to be quite attractive.

And no one noticed that the surprise on the girl's face disappeared after seeing the man's appearance.

At this time, the young man touched his chin with one hand and stared at Raymond and the others, revealing a look of thought.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you, otherwise Duncan's stupid guy is going to be bad..."

The words that seemed to be grateful, but suddenly turned sharply: "However, I don't want to leak the slightest possibility of today's incident." So, kill them. ”

Saying this in the most relaxed tone, the man's eyes flashed with a look of cold madness that did not match his appearance at all.

"When you're done, bring that girl to me. With a tap on Belen's shoulder, the man swaggered and turned away, escorted by several people into an alley.

After the man left, Belen waved his hand, and the rest of the people immediately surrounded Raymond and the others in a fan shape.

I didn't expect to help the other party, but in exchange for such treatment, especially that man, his attitude changed so abruptly, as if he didn't take anyone's surname in his eyes at all. Killing people is as simple as breathing for him, and the madness is enough to chill anyone's heart.

"I'm sorry. At this time, the silent girl suddenly said.

"It's good that you know. Baste snorted angrily and said, "Young master, why don't we teach her a lesson first... Meow, it hurts!"

But Raymond angrily knocked on Catwoman's head: "Train you, don't mess with me at this time." Hey, what's your name?"

The latter sentence was said to the girl. The girl was silent for a moment: "Lorna." ”

"Lorna, huh?" Raymond smiled, "I'll talk about the apologies later, it looks like we'll have to work together to deal with these guys for the time being." ”

"How did this happen? Guys, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding, can we talk about it again?" Javier was a businessman, and he wanted to make a final fight at this time.

Belen slowly drew his sword and came out: "I'm sorry, this is the master's order, so you must die." ”

"Bath, up!" Raymond snorted at the same time.

For the next moment, chaos ensued almost simultaneously.

Before Raymond could finish speaking, Baste had already rushed out like lightning. I saw her squatting on the spot, jumping up in an instant, and the whole person unbelievably swept through the space of both sides, and jumped into the enemy group.

Unexpectedly, her bounce power was so amazing, and the unprepared enemy hurriedly drew his weapon. I saw Baste wipe his hands on his waist, and in an instant, the silver light flashed, and the two enemy soldiers had fallen to the ground screaming and splashing blood.

On the other side, Lorna pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword and rushed forward, aiming straight for Belen. Listening to the screams of the men who were killed and injured by Catwoman behind him, Belen snorted coldly and slashed out with a sword.

Lorna didn't avoid it at all, and at the moment when the oncoming long sword was about to reach her, she drew her sword out. The latter first hung on the body of Belen's sword, and then with a clever twist of his wrist, he actually pushed Belen's sword aside, followed by the sword in his hand like a poisonous snake, and took the opponent's throat.

Unexpectedly, this girl's swordsmanship was so exquisite, and Belen was surprised. However, he was not a mediocre hand, as soon as Belen's head dodged Lorna's stab, and at the same time, the sword that had been removed in his hand pulled back, and sliced into Lorna's waist.

Lorna calmly sank her wrist and slammed the end of Belen's sword with the end of the hilt. At the sound of this, the two of them each took a step back, but after a slight pause, they rushed back in an instant.

Over there, Lorna and Belen were in a fierce fight, and on this side, Raymond and his soldiers were also in a fight with the rushing enemy. Although the soldiers brought by Raymond this time were good picks from the Hydington and Auston garrisons, they were obviously no match for these people, and although Baste held back many people, the rest still made them have a hard time coping.

"Drink!"

An enemy soldier swung his sword at Raymond, who shielded the terrified Javier behind him while holding his sword in one hand. Unexpectedly, the force coming from his sword was so violent, the enemy soldier was knocked and staggered back, and Raymond took the opportunity to stab him through the chest with a sword.

However, although the enemy soldier was killed, three more people pounced on him from the left and right. Due to the need to protect Javier, Raymond could not move freely, so he had to protect Javier while blocking the non-stop attacks of the three enemy soldiers with one hand, which was in danger for a while.

At the same time, several of the garrison members who were engaged in the battle with the enemy soldiers were also slashed, and screams rang out one after another.
