The cold wind came from the pavement, and the guards standing on the walls shivered. He shuddered, then turned his head, and after seeing that there was no one left and right, he reached into his arms, and quickly took out a flask and tasted it. Then he sighed in satisfaction, and before he could retract the flask in his hand, an eerie voice came from behind him.

"Your Excellency has an order, you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the patrol."

"Huh

Hearing this, the guard jumped to his feet, and he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, only to see a stout man standing behind him with a long scar on his face. Seeing this person, the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed over the flask in his hand in a low voice.

"I thought it was who, it turned out to be Brother Scar, you are doing well, just take it as if you didn't see it? On this cold day, how can you survive without drinking some wine? Besides, isn't the front line still open yet? Relax a little, hehe, just relax a little, don't worry too much. ”

"Hmph."

Hearing the guard's plea for mercy, Scarface snorted, then reached out and took the flask, opened it and took a sip, then threw it back to the guard. He shook his head helplessly as he watched the stupid guy put the lid on the flask and stuff it back into his arms.

"With so little nonsense, how can we guess what the above means? It may have been the case before, but not necessarily now, the rebels have almost finished beating the Soros family's valuable places. Now the old men are in a hurry to die, and I only heard a little news before I came here, and maybe the Pawood family will raise their troops to cross the river before the beginning of spring. And so on. When the spring flowers bloom, this group of noble lords will fight again, I am afraid that those rebels will not even give them a poor bone. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Scarface is heard talking. The guard was also shocked.

"Are those rebels so powerful?"

"It's the Templar Order, cut. With the few private soldiers of the Soros family, can they still compare with the paladins? This time the God of War Temple can be regarded as showing its face, I really didn't see that group of war maniacs fighting so hard before. Before, we were escorted here with a few soldiers, you know, I heard from them, but those paladins of the Temple of War fought and did not want to die, and after reciting the prayer, they rushed forward, and their bodies were still glowing, and even more deadly arrows could not be pierced, and the sword could not be split, how do you say this should be fought? ”

"Is it so powerful?"

Scarface is heard talking. The guard's eyes widened in surprise and shuddered.

"My God, we're not going to fight the Templars."

"Who can say for sure......... Where can we guess what the above masters think, but the movements of those paladins have indeed been getting bigger and bigger recently......... Forget it, that's not something we should worry about. ”

Faced with this problem, Scarface did not have his previous swagger, but sighed helplessly. Then he snorted and reached out and slapped the guard on the head hard.

"I've been talking nonsense with you for so long, and it's okay to help you be lazy! Hurry back! Lest you be caught eating whips from above, I won't help you. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Scar, I'm going back now......... Hey? There's a carriage over there, as if it's going into town? It's amazing......... On such a cold day, those nobles still have the leisure to run here? ”

"What carriage......... Show me? ”

Scarface said. Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, when he saw the black carriage speeding towards the solid stone city, his whole body trembled suddenly. Hurriedly staggered backwards, stepping on the edge of the steps without stepping steadily. The whole person fell to the ground with a pop, and his face, which was originally a little red from drinking, was now pale.

"Brother Scar? What happened to you? ”

Look at Scarface like this. The guard asked, surprised. Hearing his inquiry, Scarface seemed to have recovered from his previous shock, and he stood up tremblingly as he spoke.

"Hurry, close the gates, don't let him in............ No, no, no! Don't close it, hurry up and open the city gates, give the order to go down, don't check the carriage, go quickly, I will personally inform the city lord......... Just go!! ”

"Brother Scar?"

Hearing Scarface's inappropriate order, the guard was confused.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become so bold? Don't check? If you don't check, the brothers will be fined, what's the reason for that carriage? Don't even our city lord care? ”

This time, in the face of the guard's inquiry, Scarface unceremoniously got up and slapped him.

"Shut up! Damn it, if you want to die, don't catch me, go! I want them to open the gate at once and let the carriage in, and don't stop it, and don't check it, and even if they do, they just look at it. Tell them not to go for trouble with the carriage, and not to collect any extra money, do you hear it, or I'll kill you!! ”

Although he didn't know what was wrong, looking at Scarface's nervous expression, the guard naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took the order. Scarface, on the other hand, looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer to Solid Rock City with a gloomy face, hesitated for a moment, and then stomped his foot, hurriedly turned and left the other side.

And at the same time, within the Star Chamber of Commerce, a quarrel is breaking out.

"It's been three days since the president died, Miss, we must find a way to solve the current problem of the Chamber of Commerce!!"

A man dressed in a fine costume who looked like a walking bucket slapped the table with his large, fleshy hands, even if his palms were red. He just stared at the girl sitting in the middle of the table, and his two small eyes were round.

"We don't have time left, and it's not good for anyone to drag on like this. I suggest that now is the time to elect the next president of the Chamber of Commerce! Can't let that group of clowns continue to toss, otherwise, the old man will work hard to build a family business. and they will be ruined. ”

"Don't spray people with blood there, you dead fat pig."

And on the other side of that fat barrel. A thin old man snorted coldly and glared at the fat bucket opposite.

"The Chamber of Commerce is what it is. Aren't all of you responsible? The elder had long sensed the irreconcilable antagonism between the North and the South. At that time, he didn't think about changing the status quo of the Chamber of Commerce, and you guys will only pull the old president's hind legs, you have found all kinds of excuses, that is, you are unwilling to develop new business channels, and the old president has no choice. Now it's good that the Soros family is finished, and we're going to be finished. But what do we have to do with the Soros family? We're just in business! And not their private business consultants! Don't think we don't know how much you get out of your business with the Soros family every year! Isn't the reason why you oppose the elder's opinion because you're afraid that you won't scrape enough oil and water?! ”

"You're reversing right and wrong! Dead old ghost! ”

And to hear the old man's questioning. The fat barrel jumped to its feet.

"You're also a businessman, don't you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to develop a new business channel? Our Star Chamber of Commerce is no longer as good as before, and before the old president took over, the Star Chamber of Commerce had lost its original glory. Now we are just struggling to live a difficult life, and we still have to develop new channels? Why is the old president moved by us, isn't it because he knows in his heart how difficult this is? You also know the stubborn temper of the old man, if he really makes up his mind to do this, we can't stop it even with our heads! ”

"Shut up!!"

At this moment, a coquettish cheer sounded. Interrupting the argument between the two sides, everyone immediately stopped and looked at the slender figure sitting in the chair in the middle of the table in front of them.

"I understand what you're thinking, but now is not the time to say that......... The most important thing right now. It is to consider how to give an account to the client of the previous task. ”

"Confession?"

Hearing this, the two sides who were still arguing just now were stunned.

"Miss, the elder has even explained to people. What else do we have to explain? We all know the rules of the Star Chamber of Commerce, and anyone who loses the goods. All have to be compensated in double amounts. And this is also the foundation of our Star Chamber of Commerce. But now that the new president can't be chosen, how can we pay for it? Who pays? ”

"It's not a question of whether we pay or not........."

Hear here. The girl sitting in the chair sighed softly.

"It's a question of whether we pay or not............"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, the faces of the fat barrel and the thin old man also became much more solemn.

"My father was commissioned to transport a shipment of magical materials and equipment from Solid Stone City to Passus......... It's a pity that I encountered mountain bandits on the road, not only did my father die, but those supplies were also plundered............"

Hearing this, the two sides looked at each other and said nothing. Although the girl in front of her said it lightly, everyone knows very well that there are definitely ghosts in the bandits this time. You must know that this time the old president personally led the team, and he sent the most elite guards in the chamber of commerce, but the result was almost wiped out, and even the old president was seriously injured and finally died. Ordinary bandits simply don't have the strength to sneak attack the Star Chamber of Commerce, and it is conceivable that this is definitely the ghost of those opponents in the business field. Before, they only focused on the power struggle within the Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't know what the materials escorted this time were, but at this moment, listening to the eldest lady, these things seem to be very valuable?

But it's also true, if it's not something valuable, the elder won't escort it himself.

But the next moment, the girl's words made their hearts sink to the bottom.

"According to my father's valuation, these things are worth a total of 1,760,000 gold coins, and the consignor is......... The Pachanon family. ”

"One million seven hundred and sixty thousand!?"

Fat Barrel stood up, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked like he was going to collapse from an asthma attack in the next moment. And the thin old man was pale, looking at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

"The Pashanonoms? Miss? You have received a commission from the House of Pashanonmen?!! ”

"Yes......... The other party gave a very good reward, and my father originally wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune and then reorganize the Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect ........."

"Hey, how can this be, how can this be!?"

At this moment, the thin old man also stood up and clapped his hands, anxiously like ants on a hot pot. If they used to peep into the chairman's position, now they don't want to sit in this position so much. The goods worth 1.76 million gold coins were robbed, and according to the regulations of the Star Chamber of Commerce, the compensation will be doubled, that is 3.52 million gold coins, even if the Star Chamber of Commerce earns five years, I am afraid it will not be able to make so much money!

Not to mention the Pashanomens......... Now who on the Eagle Plateau doesn't know that the lord of Passus is a lord to mess with? The goods they entrusted to their chamber of commerce to escort were actually robbed in the middle of the road, if this was known by the Pachanon family, would they still have good fruit to eat? (To be continued......)
