Section 223 price

According to the analysis, the greatest possibility of the kidnapped Bayrell is still in the aristocratic district. Because in several other neighborhoods, such as the Flower Block, there are a lot of people at night. Three or five people dragging one person through the street, nine out of ten will be seen and attract unwanted attention. Conversely, the aristocratic districts are less densely populated, and the likelihood of such leaks is much less. In addition, the aristocratic district has another advantage, that is, there are many hidden places to hide. Tibetans can be found in any aristocratic mansion.

What did the cultists kidnap Belle for...... At least the fools understood that they certainly weren't kind enough to invite Bayor for a cup of tea. In fact, what Rhodia said was completely correct, since he received this urgent news last night, Prime Minister Irynne urgently summoned the relevant personnel three times in a row, and ordered them to immediately find out those secret agents hiding in the aristocratic district.

Of course, considering that Bayrell may have been taken out of the aristocratic district, the entire Eagle Falcon City can only enter the city for the time being, and cannot leave the city.

Truth be told, Bayer could fully understand Prime Minister Iryn's urgency, but he could only eat his own lunch for now. Perhaps it was not a comfortable thing to eat in this small room, which can be said to be cramped, or perhaps it was uncomfortable to eat under the gaze of Rhodia, and Béral found that his appetite had become very poor.

He still couldn't figure out what Rhodia was trying to do. But he could see that it was only a temporary house arrest. In fact, Bayral felt that if he had to force himself to leave, it was estimated that this woman would not forcibly stop him. However, he was not in a hurry to leave now.

On the one hand, the strange potent effect on his body has not completely faded, and on the other hand, he is also full of curiosity about Rhodia.

"Do you know what that smell from last night was?" asked Béral, taking a long sip of his wine.

"Legend is a magical artifact. "Rhodia has all the answers. "I remember seeing it on the black market a few months ago. It's a pity I didn't ask for details. I'm not very interested in this kind of thing. ”

"Magical artifact...... Where did it come from?"

"Church magicians don't do such boring stuff. I guess it's either from the Stygia region...... For I have heard that the prophetesses are magicians who like to play tricks. Or from the elven clan, because the elves are not only good at magic, but also have a soft spot for all kinds of spices. Of course, it is also possible that the Chaos Wizards specially designed it for this operation. ”

"I'm coming to Eagle Castle...... Only one night. The house where we stayed...... No, I believe not, because I've heard that the Queen uses a lot of her house to entertain guests...... In fact, the reason why I live there is the result of my own choice. He recalled. "There were a few other houses to choose from...... One of them...... Blinds were used. If I had chosen that house, I guess the effect of the incense would have been very poor. ”

"And judging from the power of the church here, it must be very difficult to specialize in making magical items or something overnight. It's easy for ordinary cultists to sneak into the city, because they won't be discovered without going through complicated and cumbersome testing. But Chaos Wizards are a different story. The church is useless, and it won't allow a Chaos wizard to sneak into Eagle City. Bayrell said. "So I'm sure this thing is the one you've seen on the black market. If you can start on the black market, you should be able to find clues to the cult believers. ”

"Very good inference. Rhodia looked interested. "It's said everywhere that you're a smart guy, and that doesn't seem to be true. ”

"Isn't you smart enough to ignore the danger this time?" Beller smiled wryly. "By the way, Lady Rhodia, may I ask you why you don't like Prime Minister Arlenne, for I seem to have heard everywhere that he was a man of great fame and respect. ”

"Of course, it's because he doesn't like me either. Rhodia replied. "I'm very vindictive. ”

"Oh, why doesn't Elenn like a beauty like you......? Is it because he thinks you're not fit to be the queen's governess?"

"Well, although she is a 'temporary' tutor, she also has the privilege of coming and going in and out of the palace at will to meet the queen. This privilege is not too big to say, and it is not too small to say small. I guess our Prime Minister Ellen doesn't think so. ”

"Oh, indeed, I can understand. This position can have an impact on Her Majesty the Queen, and it is a very important position. I'm afraid that the aristocratic women who want this position will be able to form a long line. Bayrell said. He noticed that Rhodia seemed a little absent-minded. "How did you get this honor, Lady Rhodia?"

"Hah...... It wasn't an honor when I got it. At that time, everyone thought that our little queen's throne was about to fall, and her little court would not last long. I don't know how many people in the road have a secret communication with Byron. So I got this position with a little personal recommendation, and it didn't take much trouble. ”

"I'm sorry, but I really want to ask, at that time...... Why do you want to accept such a position that seems dangerous and has no future? People can't foresee the future!"

"For I have seen Byron, and I have seen Ashrufat. Rhodia replied. "I don't think Byron has a chance to win. ”

Bayral immediately realized that there was a lot of information in the answer. He wanted to ask, but Rhodia had already sensed something.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Mistress Beller, are you fooling me?"

"Absolutely not. Bayral replied. Serious as if he had never lied in his life.

"You must have seen Ashrufat last night. Rhodia asked.

"That's right. "Bayer never plays any tricks on such public matters.

"Well, from a man's point of view, what do you think of Eshurufat?"

"Oh, in the meaning of Lady Rhodia's words, do you mean that men and women see people from different angles? I wonder what kind of person is Count Ashrufat from a woman's point of view?"

"At first glance, it is ordinary, but if you look a little deeper, you will find that there is a sense of danger in him, which is even beyond the scope of normal human beings. Ruthless, yet trustworthy. As an enemy, he is a terrible opponent, because he will not show mercy to any enemy. As a friend, he is a very reliable friend, because he is noble and proud by nature, and does not have to worry about his betrayal. Rhodia replied.

"I completely agree with the first few points. Bayrell said. "From my point of view, I mean from a man's point of view, that's pretty much the case. But I'll be honest, he ...... The ambition is a little too big. ”

"Ah...... Ambition?"

"Of course, I'm not saying that ambition itself is wrong. To be a man should be ambitious...... In a sense, he is the kind of character depicted in children's storybooks, which is not very real, and is far from reality. Because the average person gradually increases his ambition as his status changes. For example, those who want to usurp the throne are ministers, and those who want to eat enough tomorrow are beggars. And he seems to be ...... Well, that ......"

"Hahaha...... Lord Beller, you must have misunderstood. Rhodia smiled and said.

"Oh, what did I misunderstand?"

"I can't say, at least not so simply. Rhodia looked at Beller. "Do you know that according to someone, intelligence is the most valuable commodity in the whole world. ”

"It's really a famous saying, I don't know which one is so philosophical?"

"A very obnoxious old man. Rhodia replied. "Having said that, if you want to know the way, you might as well make a price. ”

"I have nothing on me. Béral gestured to his pajamas. As mentioned earlier, his pajamas have no pockets, and he really has nothing but his pajamas. "By the way, I remember taking out that sword that even I had...... It should be in your hands now, right?"

"How much is that sword worth?"

"It's not worth much. Bayral honestly admitted. His saber is not a legendary magic weapon or even a divine blade, but just a very ordinary military standard longsword. This is because Bayrell has never been the kind of general who excels in personal force. Of course, even with a standard military sword, there is no problem in killing people. "But I really don't have anything of value on me other than that sword. ”

"That's good. I threw the sword to one of my men, and it would be a shame to take it back from him. Rhodia said. "Let's not discuss your worthless sword. In fact, they all say that you are a rich lord. I've heard that you have more than one territory, Lord Bayrell......"

"Hah, that's true. Bayral suddenly noticed sweat oozing from his forehead. It's strange, it's late autumn and early winter, is it so hot in the room?

"I heard that the various taxes of the territory alone can reach more than 200,000 gold orioles per year. ”

"You've done a great job of investigating!"

"500,000 Quioli, I'll be able to tell you everything you want to know. Rhodia said suddenly, nakedly.

"I thought a beautiful woman like you wouldn't be particular about money......" Seriously, Bayral had been waiting for this sentence. He also vaguely guessed that Rhodia kept him like this, not just to give Irene a headache. A deal, a fair and reasonable deal, that's what Rhodia is really about. However, when Rhodia did say this sentence unmistakably, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"A Kioli night. Rhodia said suddenly.

"What? What does a Kioli mean for a night?"

"One night at Gioli, that's the price of my 'peerless beauty'. Rhodia said. Right in front of Béral, she pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "Got it? I'm a prostitute, at least I was. ”

"Ah......h

"So you see, I'm not an earthly angel who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, I'm just an ordinary woman. Don't play this trick on me, half a million quillies, you can get all kinds of messages you want. ”

"Can I bargain?"

"No one is missing. ”

"Can I give some other services besides the message?"

"No problem. Rhodia threw away her cigarette and immediately began to undress. "Every day you stay in Eagle City, I can spend the night with you. By the way, I'm confident that you'll be satisfied with this aspect......"

"Wait......" Beller found himself speechless for a moment. Women are no less hooligans than men, in fact. But he himself realized that there was a very small part of his heart, unconsciously expecting Rhodia to take off more.

Outside, the door opened again.
