"As expected of the two pillars of the former kingdom, I am willing to ask a price." After reading the "quotation" handed to her hand, the middle-aged woman in a brown robe smiled and said to the old man with a rose embroidered on his chest: "Earl Sam, if you don't mind, could you please tell me how much the Lane family paid you in total to help deliver this letter?" "this……" "Haha, forget it if you don't want to say it, I'm just asking casually." After looking at the troubled old man, the woman in brown robe smiled and said: "It's your own ability to squeeze money out of the Lane family. The teachings of our Scales of Gold sect are not against this kind of thing, and even encourage it. It’s just that without me, you wouldn’t be able to earn this money, so as the most critical part, I ask for an additional share of your income. Do you agree? " "Agree, of course I agree!" After silently cursing in his heart for demanding money, he realized that the initiative was not in his hands. The old man named Sam had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly while gritting his teeth and handing over a new quotation.
Seeing the brown-robed woman's eyebrows, a look of satisfaction finally appeared. The old man, whose eyes were full of pain, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he bowed slightly and said with a respectful expression: "Master Priest, the Lane family is outside. If it's convenient for you now..." "Convenient, of course convenient!" After imitating the old man's tone and answering, the brown-robed woman who looked to be in her forties laughed and said: "You can get such a huge income just by helping to find someone. How can it be inconvenient for me? Come on, take me to meet the guests of the Lane family." "Okay, please come this way." After leading the brown-robed woman through the corridor in the manor and arriving at a rather secluded reception room, facing several people who stood up in a hurry to greet them, the elder of the Rose family took the initiative to introduce both parties: "Your Excellency, Bishop, these are the last remaining elders of the Lane family, the new governor of the Lane family, and the old Duke's most trusted personal butler. Everyone, this person next to me is the priest of the Wealth-Recruiting Department of the Scales and Gold Sect. You can call her..." "There's no need to mention my name. You can just call me 'Brown'." After interrupting the old man's introduction, a middle-aged woman in a brown robe quickly stepped forward, shook hands with several people one by one, and then said with a bright smile: "I heard from Count Sam that several people contacted our Scales of Gold Sect. The person appointed by the Ryan family to attack the Lord has gone missing. They want me to find his whereabouts, right?" "Yep!" Upon hearing the question from the woman in brown robe, the new governor, who was the youngest among the three, immediately nodded his golden hair and said with a little excitement: "Brown...Your Majesty the Bishop! To be honest, we really have no choice now. There are more than two days left for the knighthood ceremony, and the invitation letters to the ceremony have been sent out, but the knight appointed by the old Duke ran away from the hospital this morning! To tell you the truth, if you can help us find him within two days, we are willing to add 50% to the gift list for you! " ? ! ! ! Are you crazy? How can you tell the truth at the first meeting?
After hearing the young man's words, the other two members of the Lane family were immediately shocked, and then looked at him with shock and anger, their eyes full of sullenness and blame. The young man seemed to have reacted, and suddenly reached out his hand to cover his mouth. Then he shook his head desperately and said with panic in his eyes: "I...that's not what I wanted to say! I didn't!" "Haha, please don't blame him. Your Majesty the Governor didn't mean to say this. It's just that I personally don't like to lie to each other, so I just used some small tricks, hoping to make everyone communicate as candidly as possible." After briefly explaining what she had done, and looking at the three people with deep fear in their eyes, the woman in brown robe smiled nonchalantly, and then suggested: "As for the additional five achievements, forget it. The gift list you handed over before is already generous enough. Although our Scales and Gold Cult loves money very much, we are not that greedy. Just take the money you deserve." Looking at the people who were obviously relieved after hearing that there was no need to add money, the woman in brown robe slightly raised the corner of her mouth and then added: "It's just that... although we are very sure to find the new Duke, our method of finding someone is a little special. I wonder if you can accept it?" Something special? After hearing the brown-robed woman's words, the three members of the Lane family couldn't help but exchange glances with each other. Finally, the eldest clan elder asked: "Your Excellency Brown, may I ask what you mean by special..." "You need to join our Scales of Gold Cult, but it's not you, but the new Duke of the Lane family." The woman in brown robe slightly opened her mouth, like a big brown cat that saw a fat mouse coming to the door, showing a rather weird smile. "I worship the cat spirit among the three holy spirits. Anyone who has used money, or even has a slight relationship with money, cannot escape its perception and call. Therefore, it is very simple to find the location of the new Duke. If Master Mao Ling is willing, he can even invite him directly in front of everyone. Even if he has run out of the royal capital, it will not delay the Duke Assault Ceremony two days later. It's just that as a price, after being locked by the power of Lord Mao Ling, the new Duke will be influenced by Lord Mao Ling, and he will have the smell of our Scale Gold Sect, and it is almost impossible to be involved with other sects. . I don’t know if any of you are willing to accept this price? " Will he be forced to join the Scales and Metal Cult? Can’t join another sect anymore? After listening to the woman in brown robe, the three members of the Lane family couldn't help exchanging glances again. Just add more, he is just a puppet Duke anyway. As long as he can appear at the knighthood ceremony two days later, the situation of the Lane family must be stabilized first, let alone joining the Scales of Gold Cult, even if he is missing arms and legs, there will be no problem. ! But...what if the people of the Scale of Gold Sect have impure intentions? The clan members are so anxious to carry out the knighthood ceremony because they hope to preserve some of the Lane family's wealth. Even if it cannot be preserved, they can rely on the Lion-Hearted Duke's name to gain more benefits for their family members. And if the new Duke is allowed to join the Scales of Gold Sect, then there will be one more person who can play the title card. What if someone from the Scales of Gold Sect sneaks out and fights for the Lane family's wealth? … "Your Excellency, Bishop, please lock down his location first." After a rather intense exchange of glances, several members of the Lane family finally reached a consensus. The old Duke’s butler bowed slightly and said: "If the new Duke has not gone far yet and is just hiding temporarily, then we can go find him ourselves. If he has left the royal capital, please take action to get him back." "Okay, then please give me something he used."
Not caring about the little plans of Ryan and the others, after taking two bandages still stained with ointment from the old housekeeper, the woman in brown robe lowered her head and sniffed, her dark brown lips trembled slightly for a few times, and then chanted silently Two sentences. Immediately afterwards, a lazy cat meow suddenly sounded in the reception room. The pupils in the brown-robed woman's eyes quickly closed, and then opened horizontally as if they had been stabbed. The eyeballs also swelled rapidly, turning into a pair of strange eyes. Cat eyes. "I saw." After blinking in discomfort, she looked at the "marks" on the bandage that gradually spread into the distance. Her eyeballs more than tripled in size. The woman in brown robe, who looked much more terrifying, smiled and said: "The traces are very heavy. It seems that the Duke did not run far away. Let me take a look at his surroundings first... Well... He climbed over a wall with something and jumped into a large field of red roses. Inside, not far away is a rose-red six-story building..." etc! Why does this building look familiar?
