Chapter 28: Debrasie
On the top floor of Junxiao Building, in an elegant study.
Debracy was flipping through yesterday's briefing, who would have thought that the helmsman of Junxiao Building, the largest casino in the human race, was actually a woman, a charming middle-aged woman.
Debracy was a very skillful woman, known as the "poppy" in the upper echelons of the empire, with bright flowers but poisonous all over her body.
Casinos and brothels are not only places of entertainment, but also the best places for intelligence gathering, and people are prone to accidentally leaking secrets when they are most relaxed. The men who come to play in Junxiao Lou are either rich or expensive, and a sentence or two they inadvertently reveal may be a crucial secret.
Especially the news from the third floor of the casino and the sixth floor of the brothel, Debrasie looked at it very carefully, and the people who could go to these two places were all big names in the empire, so the news was naturally more valuable.
"Interestingly, Summererd's son lost more than 80,000 gold coins in one night, and the other party was a few strange mercenaries. ”
Debracy casually pressed the teleportation magic array on the table, "Let the dealer in charge of the third private room last night come to see me." ”
It didn't take long for the dealeress, who had dealt them to Arthur the night before, standing at Debrasie's table, along with a list of registered guests.
"Did you think there was anything wrong with last night's game?"
"It feels a little strange, that bearded mercenary is too lucky, but I didn't notice any behavior on the other side. ”
"Just because you didn't find out doesn't mean that the other party didn't do it, a mercenary who can easily take out 100,000 gold coins will never be a nobody. Debracy casually flipped through the register and found that the corresponding name was only the head of a C-class mercenary group from the border town of Isaac.
Debrasie's brows furrowed, she didn't believe that a C-class mercenary group had the ability to take out 100,000 gold coins.
"And a mercenary among the three?"
"Yes, the mercenary looks a little older, but she's still beautiful. The female dealer recalled earnestly.
"Let me see who she is?" Debrasie finally smiled as her fast-moving hand on the roster suddenly stopped.
"I think I know who these people are, go and draw them as they are!" a chill ran through Debrasie's tone.
......
To the west of the imperial capital, in a vast mansion.
Summererd, the deputy commander of the city guard, stared at Lore, who was kneeling in front of him with a grim face.
Summerer did not look like a burly soldier like his colleague Spence, but was short and thin, with a shriveled face and a smile on his face, often giving the impression of a businessman in the camp.
If anyone really thinks that Summerer is as unbearable as he looks, it is a big mistake, the four deputy capitals of the city guard are all the strength of the warriors. Summerer is insidious and easy to cling, and it is precisely because of the line of the emperor and queen that he, the deputy commander, has the opportunity to temporarily lead the 200,000 guards on behalf of the Grand Duke of Amaya.
"You've been idle all day, and now you're skilled, and you can lose 50,000 gold coins in one night?"
Lore muttered in a low voice: "Jun Xiaolou, these bastards, I promised to return it when I got all the money in the near future, but I didn't expect them to sue you!"
Summerer slapped the table heavily, "You pooled the money? Where did you get the money? If it weren't for Lao Tzu's position as the deputy commander of the city guard, why would Jun Xiaolou dare to lend you 50,000 gold coins on the spot?"
"It's a big deal, I won't pay it back, and they dare to go to the city guard barracks to ask for money?"
Summerer suddenly raised his foot and kicked Lore, who was kneeling in front of him, to the ground, "Bastard, Jun Xiaolou is an industry under the name of the old prince of Yunxiao, not to mention that I am the deputy commander of the city guard, even the prince and the grand duke dare not owe money to the old prince!"
Luo Er was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to speak anymore, he only knew that Jun Xiaolou's background was deep before, but he didn't know that it was so terrifying, even his father didn't dare to provoke him.
"Tell me, how much money did you lose, and how did you lose?"
"I lost more than 80,000 gold coins in total, and I suspect that the kid is cheating, he seems to be able to see my cards, and every time the stud has a card a little higher than mine!"
"Being able to go out of Junxiao Lou without being noticed, it's really not simple, who is the other party?"
"I don't know where it came from? There were three mercenaries, a bearded young mercenary, a good-looking female mercenary, and a mercenary with a large birthmark on half of his face. ”
"What do I want you for? I was swept away by someone who took away more than 80,000 gold coins, and I don't know who the enemy is?"
"The three people are not from the mercenary group in the imperial capital, I arranged for someone to check and found no clues, and even the guards I arranged to follow that night were knocked unconscious. Lore looked aggrieved.
"What about Jun Xiaolou, aren't all the guests who go there registered?"
"The guest information is a secret in Junxiao Building, and they don't let outsiders see it at all. Lore muttered.
"Something interesting. Summerer gently twisted a few sparse beards under his chin, "You will find a painter to draw the detailed appearance of those people in a while, as long as they are still in the imperial capital, they will definitely not be able to escape!"
"If you catch those guys, you're going to cramp and skin them!" said Lore, gritting his teeth.
Summerer glared at Lore fiercely, "You are not allowed to leave the house for half a year, let me know that if you dare to run out without permission, I will break your legs!"
......
Seongnam Hotel Street, inside Nino's grocery store room.
Unbeknownst to them, Arthur, Joan, and Aretha are having a good time.
McGinn's "Manulife" groceries are crowded with people, and Arthur and the others did not go back after coming out of McGinn's place, but chose to borrow Nino's place.
The mercenaries who followed Arthur and them into the city left the city the same day after the goods were delivered, and they would wait for Arthur and them at a pre-agreed place outside the city.
"Uncle Wang has promised that the Bright Empire will reorganize Isaac's cavalry and Locke's remnants into a legion, and set aside separate military camps and defense areas in the Gyeonggi region, and he will then personally write a reply to the Marquis of Jennings. Joan was talking to Arthur about the outcome of her talks with Prince Gallaher.
Arthur raised his glass and touched it, and the most important thing on this trip to the imperial capital was to be honest.
"The three A-level tasks for promoting the A-level mercenary group have been completed, but there is still one last hardware condition left, not only the registered general-level mercenaries in the mercenary group are needed, but also at least ten war-school-level mercenaries, and our mercenary group now only has four people. Joan said this to the titular head of the regiment, Aretha.
Aretha smiled, "This matter is easy, aren't there still a few warschool-level mercenary captains in our cavalry regiment, and then ask them if they are willing to join the Blue Enchantress? ”
"Then there is one last trouble, the amount of weapons and equipment we want to buy is too large, and it will take three or five days for McGinn to go at the earliest. In addition, the space equipment we want to buy is not at all eyebrow-raising. ”
Just then, there was a slight knock overhead......
