Three hundred and twentieth chapters court death
Chapter 326: Seeking death
"But they... are really amazing!" The subordinates winced a little. "I think that's no longer the level of an ordinary human..."
Although it is said that "not ordinary humans", there are many things in this world that are beyond ordinary humans. Special groups such as the Holy Knights, Chaos Champions, etc. often have existences beyond ordinary humans. In addition, there are magicians. It is said that some magic can transform magicians into giant beasts. Therefore, it is not a common human being" that can attract too much attention.
"Sister, do you mean...go to find a gladiator? Or... change to a better weapon?"
"I'm afraid those who are gladiators are not good either." Rotia was very clear-headed. She could knock down dozens of burly men with a whip. This ability cannot underestimate the enemy. "The musket is not suitable..." Although the musket can definitely deal with the twins, the bullet does not have eyes. It's okay to hit the hands, feet and limbs, but it will be a big trouble when hit to the fatal position. "Well, I'll find a master to come."
"Master?" his subordinates wanted to ask again, but Rotia looked "I have decided", so he wisely took back his words.
However, since that kind of thing has happened, it is probably much more difficult to do it. With the experience of Countess Marian, they must have been more vigilant now. Rorty Issue. If you want to do it, you must find a good opportunity. The old woman is not easy to deal with, and she is not unfamiliar with violence and plotting.
To be honest, this time Rotia miscalculated. Because Countess Marian did not smell the danger in the air. This conspiracy was too secret. It was planned inside the palace and within the queen's bedroom. Whether it was the little girl or Rotia, they kept the secret firmly, so there was no sound outside. Aunt Mary didn't take it seriously when she heard about this from the twins.
You should know that during the reign of Byron, the city of Hawks was once very chaotic (of course, it was several areas outside the aristocratic area), and robbery and kidnapping were common. In fact, unknown corpses were often seen on the streets, and even more were left behind. Not only civilians, but many nobles had been victimized.
However, at the end of Byron's rule, perhaps due to the assassination of Byron's Little Byron (Today's statement generally means that Byron was stabbed on the street because of jealousy), Byron suddenly came to a city-wide security sweep. The methods were so cruel that no one could imagine. Perhaps Byron's plan was to take this opportunity to storm a group of small characters who were not in opposition to him, but it also had an immediate impact on security. Next, the little girl regained the royal city with the support of the Guards and took the opportunity to deal with a major blow to the gang. Under these consecutive waves of attacks, the once rampant criminal activities quickly shrank. However, the psychological shadow at the beginning was not so easy to remove. It was not unexpected to say that those criminals made a comeback again.
It was said that the twins were too early and too fast to do it. The men sent by Rotia had not yet let go - to be honest, if they really did this, they might not have done it - they were defeated by Xing Ke based on the principle of "taking action first"... Therefore, in their concept, things are very simple to "meet gangsters on the road".
If you have any concerns, the key is to expose the combat power of Star Ke Superman, which may cause some trouble. Aunt Mary warned them, but didn't care much about the others.
Then they received a letter.
This is a very ordinary letter. To put it more specifically, it is an invitation letter. The invitation is a newly opened auction house in the commercial area of Eagle Falcon City. Due to the previous political reshuffle, the city has undergone great changes in all aspects, and it is normal for a new auction house to emerge. Of course, the invitation letter also comes with an advertising instruction manual.
There are many new (or newly closed) auction houses, but this newly opened auction house obviously intends to do something special to open the market. So the auction items are quite targeted: mainly various spices collected from all over the world (there are even several rare spices made by elves), some self-defense weapons suitable for women (the key recommendations are a few exquisite and elegant but easy-to-use small pistols), some precious and rare jewelry, some clothes and fabrics that ordinary people have not even heard of, and some exquisite works of art. In short, this auction is clearly aimed at young women, and everything on the auction is aimed at the needs of such customers.
The person who received this letter was Aunt Mary. After opening it, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
The twins have long been no ordinary squire and nobles who stayed in the outskirts of Bracian. Although Aunt Mary brought them in and out of the social circles of Eagle Falcon City, one thing to understand is that Eagle Falcon City is a royal city. In other words, this city will not lack celebrities and wealthy princes. People from the same class will naturally compare or show off their thoughts when they meet. For the nobles, what can show off their identity and wealth better than jewelry? Therefore, various dances, banquets, tea parties and other gatherings held in Eagle Falcon City often turn into jewelry shows. Women compete with jewelry, while men compete with women.
In this kind of competition, ordinary jewelry has no value for appearance. Only those special and rare things can attract people's attention. For example, if you exude a scent that others have never smelled before, for example, the material of your clothes can make other women recognize it, if your jewelry is eye-catching - then you win.
Aunt Mary has a lot of jewelry - as mentioned earlier, this is the legacy left to her by her husband. However, the times are changing and developing. The things that were originally enough to overwhelm Countess Marian are obviously not enough now. In addition, Aunt Mary only needed to dress herself up alone, but now she now needed to dress up two - actually two and a half, because she also needed some jewelry to decorate the storefront.
If they don't have money, that's fine. The problem is that they are very rich - even if not Aunt Mary, Ashu Rufat left a huge income for his two fiancées. Yes, according to the law, the previous property of the fiancée is calculated separately, but if the fiancée is willing - then who can say "no" if the fiancée spends some money?
Therefore, with her vision and experience, Aunt Mary immediately recognized the value of these products on the advertising instructions.
"Time is tomorrow... OK, let's all go and see it together tomorrow." Aunt Mary quickly made the decision.
Unfortunately, after a while, a listener came to knock on the door. An important figure in the Falcon City asked to meet Countess Marianne - the time was set for tomorrow.
Aunt Mary gave up the opportunity with regret. The final decision was to go to the auction house to check it out, and if the price was right, buy a few suitable items, and Aunt Mary and Fana were welcomed at home. As for Shirley, she now spends most of her time in the palace and only comes back to spend the night by chance.
When the twins went out, they called a carriage nearby - in the noble area, there are never a few such taxi carriages. The carriages in the Hawks are much smaller than ordinary carriages, and can only be used by two guests, not to mention the four-wheeled carriage of Aunt Mary. However, this kind of carriage has the advantage, which is its flexibility and ability to move in crowded urban areas.
After the twins walked onto the carriage, the coachman waved his whip and the carriage quickly advanced forward.
"Wait," Xing immediately realized that the direction of the carriage was not very opposite. "Mr. Coachman, we are going to the trade zone..."
"The road is quite congested at this time." The coachman lowered his head, his hat brim covering his face, and his voice sounded a little vague. "Hardness is not achieved. If you want to get there quickly, it is best to go around a little bit."
Since that's what they said, the twins could only give in. They sat back on the carriage, pulled up the curtains, and felt the shimmering wheels. I don't know how much time passed, the carriage was still running. This time, Xingke felt something was wrong.
"Mr. Coachman, why haven't you arrived yet?" She shouted while poking her head out of the car. Now she found that she was not on the bustling streets of the commercial area, but in a relatively unfamiliar place. This place should still be within the scope of Eagle Falcon City, but it is a strange city that she had never been to.
"It's coming soon." The coachman's voice was still a little confused.
"Stop!" Xingke quickly realized something was wrong. When she shouted like this, the carriage stopped obediently and leaned against the side of the road.
"Where is this? This is not a commercial area..." Xingke jumped out of the carriage at the first time. When she wanted to ask the driver for an understanding, her movement suddenly stopped because she saw someone she shouldn't have seen.
The coachman didn't stop the car when he heard her order, but because the car had arrived at the destination.
"Rotia?" Xing Ke called out the other party's name in surprise. Both parties had met several times, so they knew each other.
"What's wrong, sister, why are we... Rotia?" She looked around in surprise and found that there were no one else in her field of vision except for the two of them, the carriage, and Rotia. This was very unusual for a prosperous city like Eagle City.
Rotia stood by the roadside and looked at the twins coldly. After seeing that both of them got out of the car, she raised her hand and made a gesture. The carriage immediately jumped out like a spring, and in just a few turns, she turned around and couldn't see it.
No matter how stupid the twins are, they understand what is going on.
Although the two of them were wearing exactly the same clothes, the difference between the twins was immediately noticed at this time. Xingjian retreated behind his sister in anxiety, while Xingke was still standing proudly, not afraid.
"Ms. Rotia!" said Xingke. "What do you want to do?"
She also knew from all kinds of rumors that this woman was unusual. Such a commoner who had not received any formal and good education and even had a prostitute for one time actually became the teacher of the little queen, and was extremely trusted and able to enter and exit the palace freely. Anyone could see from this fact that this Rotia was definitely not as simple as an ordinary teacher. There are rumors that when the little queen escaped from Byron, she relied on the help of Rotia. This was considered a life-saving grace. Moreover, this woman was not given a title or something, which made it difficult for others to attack Rotia.
"I didn't do anything, I just heard... you are amazing!"
Xing Ke's heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized from Rotia's words that she had taken action. I'm afraid that it was not a group of robbers I met by chance, but what did it have to do with Rotia?
"So that's the matter?" she snorted. "So what? They are trying to die."
