Section 326: Finding Death

"But they ...... It's really amazing!" the subordinate cringed a little. "I don't think that's an ordinary human being......"

Although he said "not an ordinary human", after all, there are many things in this world that are beyond ordinary humans. Special groups such as Holy Knights, Chaos Champions, etc., often have beings beyond ordinary humans. Then there are magicians, some of which are said to be able to transform them into behemoths. So the fact that "not an ordinary human" doesn't attract much attention.

"Sister, what do you mean...... Go to the gladiators? or ...... A better weapon?"

"Gladiators, I'm afraid they can't either. "Rhodia is very clear-headed, and with a single whip, he can take down dozens of big men, and this kind of ability cannot be underestimated. "The musket is not suitable...... although it is said that the musket will definitely be able to deal with the twins, but the bullet does not have eyes, and it is fine to hit the hands, feet and limbs, but it is a big trouble to hit the fatal position. "Well, I'll find a master. ”

"Master?" the subordinate wanted to ask again, but Rhodia looked like "I have made up my mind", and he wisely retracted his words.

However, since that kind of thing has already happened, it must be much more difficult to get started. In the experience of that Countess Marianne, they must have raised their vigilance by now. Rorty thought to himself. If you want to do it, you have to find a good opportunity. The old woman was not easy to deal with, and she was no stranger to violence and plotting.

Truth be told, this time Rhodia miscalculated. Because the Countess Marianne did not smell the warning signs of danger in the air. This conspiracy is too secretive, it was planned inside the palace, in the queen's bedroom, whether it was the little girl or Rhodia, they all firmly guarded this secret, so there was no rumor outside. Aunt Mary heard about it from the twins and didn't take it to heart.

You must know that during Byron's reign, the Falcon City was once very chaotic (of course, in several areas outside the noble district), and it was common for robbery and kidnapping to happen. In fact, nameless corpses are often seen on the streets, and even more so are those that are left unattended. Not only commoners, but also many nobles have been victimized.

However, at the end of Byron's reign, probably under the influence of the assassination of Byron Jr. (today's version generally says that Byron Jr. was stabbed in the street because of jealousy), Byron suddenly came to a city-wide law and order sweep. The cruelty of the means is beyond anyone's imagination. Perhaps Byron's plan was to take this opportunity to sweep away a group of small characters who did not deal with him, but it also had an immediate impact on law and order. Next, the little girl recaptured the royal city with the support of the Guards Legion, and took advantage of the situation to deal a big blow to the gang. Under these successive waves of attacks, the once-rampant criminal activity has rapidly shrunk. However, the psychological shadow of the beginning is not so easy to remove, and it is not surprising to say that those criminals have made a comeback or something.

Speaking of which, the twins did it too early and too fast. Before the men sent by Rhodia could get the word out - and to be honest, if they did, maybe they wouldn't have done it - they were defeated by the star carving on the principle of "strike first". Therefore, in their concept, the matter is very simple: "I met a bandit on the road".

If you want to say that you care about anything, the key is to expose the combat power of Star Carving Superman, which may cause some trouble. Aunt Mary warned them, and the others didn't pay much attention.

Then they received a letter.

This is a very ordinary letter, to be specific, it is an invitation letter, the inviting party is a newly opened auction house in the business district of Eagle Falcon City - due to the previous political reshuffle, the pattern of all aspects of the city has changed a lot, and it is normal for a new auction house to pop up. Of course, the invitation is accompanied by an advertising brochure.

There are a lot of new (or closed) auction houses, but this new auction house clearly intends to do something special to open the market. Therefore, the things they auctioned were quite targeted: mainly all kinds of spices collected from all over the world (there were even several rare spices made by elves), some self-defense weapons suitable for women (the focus was on a few delicate and elegant but easy-to-use small pistols), some precious and rare jewelry, some clothes and fabrics that ordinary people had not even heard of, and some exquisite works of art. In short, the auction is clearly aimed at young women, and everything on the auction is aimed at the needs of such customers.

It was Aunt Mary who received the letter, and upon opening the letter, everyone's attention was immediately grabbed.

The twins are no longer ordinary squire aristocrats who stay on the outskirts of Brasian. Although Aunt Mary took them in and out of the social world of Eagle City, one thing to understand was that Eagle City was a royal city. In other words, there will be no shortage of celebrities and dignitaries in this city, as well as rich kings and grandchildren. When people of the same class meet, they naturally make comparisons, or show off their minds. And for the aristocracy, what better way to show off their status and wealth than jewelry, so the various balls, banquets, tea parties and other gatherings that are constantly held in the city of the falcon often turn into a jewelry show. Women compete for jewelry, while men compete for women.

In this kind of competition, ordinary jewelry has no appearance value at all. Only those special, rare things can attract the eye. For example, if you have a scent that no one else has smelled, if your clothes are made of a material that no other woman can recognize, if your jewelry is intently looking at you - then you win.

Aunt Mary had a lot of jewelry, which she had bequeathed to her by her successive husbands, as I had said. However, times are changing. The things that were enough for Countess Marianne to dominate the crowd at the beginning are obviously not of enough grade now. In addition, Aunt Mary had to dress up for herself, but now she had to put on two—two and a half in fact, because she herself needed some jewels to decorate the façade.

If they don't have any money, that's fine. The problem was that they were rich - even if Aunt Mary was not counted, Ashrufat had left a huge income for his two fiancées. Yes, according to the law, the property of the fiancé is calculated separately, but if the fiancé is willing to - then who can say "no" to the fiancée spending some money?

So, with her vision and experience, Aunt Mary immediately recognized the value of these goods on the advertising brochure.

"The time is tomorrow...... Okay, let's all go and see it tomorrow. Aunt Mary quickly made up her mind.

Unfortunately, some time later, a messenger knocked on the door. A dignitary in Falcon City asks to meet with Countess Marianne - and tomorrow happens to be the time.

Aunt Mary just regretted giving up this opportunity. In the end, the twins went to the auction house and, if the price was right, bought a few suitable items, while Aunt Mary and Fana were at home to receive the guests. As for Shirley, she was now in the palace for most of her time, and only occasionally came back for the night.

When the twins went out, they called a carriage nearby—there was never a shortage of such rental carriages in the aristocratic district. The carriage in Falcon City was much smaller than a normal carriage, and could only fit two guests, not to mention Aunt Mary's four-wheeled carriage. However, the carriage has the advantage of being flexible and able to move around crowded urban areas.

After the twins stepped into the carriage, the coachman waved his whip and the carriage sped forward.

"Wait," Starmark immediately realized that the carriage was not going in the right direction. "Mr. Coachman, we are going to the business district......"

"It's a lot of traffic jams right now. The coachman lowered his head, his face hidden from the brim of his hat, and his voice sounded muffled. "If you want to hurry, you can't get there. If you want to get there quickly, it's best to make a slight detour. ”

Having said that, the twins can only give in. They sat back in the carriage, closed the curtains, and felt the sparkling vibration of the wheels. I don't know how much time has passed, but the carriage is still running. This time, Xingke sensed that something was wrong.

"Mr. Coachman, why haven't you arrived yet?" she shouted as she poked her head out of the car. Now she finds herself not on the bustling streets of the business district at all, but in a relatively unfamiliar place. It should still be within the boundaries of Eagle Falcon City, but it was an unfamiliar town she had never been to before.

"It's coming soon. The driver's voice was still a little muffled.

"Stop!" Starmoment quickly realized that something was wrong. When she shouted this, the carriage obediently stopped and leaned against the side of the road.

"Where is this? This is not a business area...... Xingke jumped out of the carriage for the first time, and when she wanted to ask the coachman for clarification, the movement suddenly stopped. Because she saw someone she wasn't supposed to see.

The driver did not stop the car because he had already reached its destination.

"Rhodia?" Xingke called out the other party's name in surprise. The two sides have met several times, so they know each other.

"What's the matter, sister, how are we ...... Rhodia?" She looked around in surprise and saw that there was no one else in sight except for the two of them, the carriage, and Rhodia. This is unusual for a bustling city like Eagle Falcon.

Rhodia stood on the side of the road, looking at the twins coldly. After seeing both of them get out of the car, she raised her hand and made a gesture. So the carriage sprang out like a spring, and in two or three moments it turned around a certain turn and was out of sight.

No matter how stupid the twins are, they understand what the hell is going on.

Even though the two of them were wearing exactly the same clothes, the difference between the twins was immediately apparent at this time. Hoshimi retreated behind his sister in uneasiness, while Hoshiki still stood proudly, undaunted.

"Lady Rhodia!" Starcut said. "What do you want to do?"

She also already knew from various rumors that this woman was unusual. Such a woman, who was born into a commoner and had no formal and good education, and even worked as a prostitute for a time, became the little queen's teacher, and was extremely trusted, and was able to come and go freely in and out of the palace. Anyone can tell from this fact that this Rhodia is definitely not as simple as an ordinary teacher. It is rumored that the little queen escaped from Byron with the help of Rhodia. This is already a lifesaver. And this woman was not given a knighthood or anything, which made it difficult for others to make a move against Rhodia.

"I didn't do anything, I just heard about it...... You're amazing!"

Xingke's heart chuckled. She immediately realized from Rhodia's words that the last time she had done it—it was probably not a group of robbers she had met by chance, but something to do with this Rhodia.

"That is?" she snorted. "So what? It's they themselves who want to die. ”
