347. Everybody is an adult
"Mr. Sean, huh?" Antun suddenly chuckled, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed, "I don't know what Mr. Sean has to say." â
"About your attempt to murder the Holy Maiden of the Church of War." Sean grinned, looking unusually harmless to humans and animals, but what he said made Anton feel creepy in an instant, and even the smile instantly froze on his face.
"Mr. Sean, you're not funny at all!" An Tu retracted his expression and became very serious.
Seeing Anton's reaction, Sean's admiration for the God of War Church became even more apparent.
I am afraid that in the entire Miracle Continent, only the people of the two countries of the Northern Duchy Federation and the St. Joels Empire will have such reverence for the incumbents of the church. Even if Settle is already a strong man of the upper gold, he still doesn't dare to be presumptuous to Shawshank, who is just a high-ranking silver, and even Sean, who only shows the upper bronze at this time, he doesn't dare to have any mockery and contempt, even if it is the erasing machine, it is very hidden.
It's just that after Sean said the matter of "Antun tried to murder the Holy Maiden", this powerful earl didn't say that it was a deeply hidden killing intent, and his whole person instantly looked a little frightened. Not to mention trying to murder the Holy Maiden, even if it is an attempted murder, once it is revealed, his position as earl will definitely not be kept. The first person to trouble him will be the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Jordan, because of this kind of matter involving the God of War Church, many times even the Grand Duke may not be able to withstand the pressure.
In particular, the Count of Hecalom tried to murder a saint!
"I'm Emily. âŚâŚ Emily. Morality. Romes. Emily suddenly smiled. On the way here, Sean had already told Emily about his plans and intentions. So Emily knew it was time for her to play," the leader of the Rose Mercenary Regiment. â
The Earl of Anton's heart really scolded the noble boy who came to him at this moment.
As Shawshank said before. The Monster Hunters are the powerful earl's personal mercenary group, which he formed when he was on a tour of the principality. So without his authorization and nod, no one would be able to command this mercenary group, let alone let them do things. Therefore, this mercenary group will attack Emily's rose mercenary group, and it must be settled and nodded personally.
But at that time, Emily wasn't a saint - and certainly not now, and her status as a saint was actually forged by divine power. But as long as she is not exposed one day, then she is the holy daughter of the God of War Church, especially since the Pope has received the oracle from Marz. The Templars were sent to find Emily, which was of a completely different nature and significance.
Therefore, people will only know that Count Hecarrom tried to murder the Holy Maiden, but they will not know that Emily was not a Holy Maiden before Count Hecalom's operation.
And this kind of extremely private thing is naturally only known to Sean and Emily.
The Earl of Anton didn't know the details and the key to this, he only knew that he had really committed a catastrophe.
It's just that now Sean and Emily haven't come up with any evidence. So he didn't want to admit it so quickly, maybe they were just bluffing? Although it is known that this possibility is very low, after all, the Warcraft Hunters have dealt with Shawshank a few times, and they know each other well. It's just that this is not the final step. Settling in is definitely going to have to struggle a bit.
After all, he can be considered an "old fox" by Sean, and he is also a powerful earl with both ambition and strength. Anton, of course, knew that many nobles knew the way well. If he admits it at this time, then it means that he really fell into the hands of Sean and Emily. Especially at this time, Shawshank, the god of war knight directly under the church, was also present, which is living evidence.
"The Rose Mercenary Regiment?" Count Anton frowned slightly. In order to hide the panic in his eyes and heart, he quickly thought about the next situation and dialogue in his mind under the pretense that he was thinking about the origin and fame of the Rose Mercenary Group at this time.
This skill of procrastining time is something that almost every nobleman does.
Sean didn't urge, just let the earl stand here like this, frowning and thinking. He turned around and continued to look at the Black Iron Castle, this castle has very obvious traces of renovation, but because of the lack of the design of the castle itself, it is naturally impossible to make some details of the repair and treatment like the original castle style, so the entire castle looks a little nondescript at the arrow tower.
However, this nondescript is not just a matter of aesthetics, and after careful inspection, Sean quickly discovers the problem of the Arrow Tower's zĂ i - the attack is oriented to conflict. According to the design concept of the Black Iron Castle, these arrow towers should be able to cover the entire frontal battlefield environment: in fact, the arrow towers rebuilt by Count Hecarrom can indeed play this role, but because he does not have the original castle design drawings, he does not know what the specific arrow towers will be built, so they overlap with the attack surface of the arrow holes and arrow stacks, but it is a waste of manpower.
Sean pouted imperceptibly.
And Sean didn't speak, and of course Emily didn't say anything, she just stood quietly beside Sean, but her expression was a little boring. It's just that from the perspective of attitude, anyone with a little normal eyesight can find that Emily is completely centered on Sean, which makes Earl Anton a little unsure of Sean's origins. He now regrets that he failed to bring Shawshank into his camp, otherwise he would have been able to get a little reminder from Shawshank at this time, and he also knew how to deal with the matter.
"Ahem." Earl Anton coughed lightly, "This rose mercenary group, I ......"
"Alright." Sean stopped very casually and interrupted Earl Anton's words, it seemed that he was more like the master of this place than Anton, "Everyone is an adult, do you believe you when you say this?" â
Count Anton was a little stunned: "I didn't say anything." â
"I know." Sean nodded, "But I've already guessed what you're going to say, you've been thinking about it for almost a minute anyway." We haven't eaten yet, and we're still on our way overnight. So I don't think there's any need to waste each other's time. â
"Poof." Emily couldn't help but let out a chuckle. But soon he covered his mouth with his hands.
The Earl of Anton almost didn't catch his breath.
As if Antun didn't believe it, Sean pursed his lips and said, "You will definitely say that you have never heard the name of the Rose Mercenary Group." Then, if we don't speak, you'll find a way to get us to ask you why your private mercenary group is involved. At this time, you will definitely answer that someone must have forged your warrant, and you have to go back and check it. And invite us to live in your castle. â
Anton's eyes widened with a hellish expression.
"You see, I've saved us a lot of trouble now, and I've jumped straight to the castle." Sean shrugged his shoulders and looked like he took it for granted, he had already tried out the bottom line of the Earl of Anton, and the next thing was just to follow the script he had budgeted, "By the way, I suddenly wanted to eat a roast leg of lamb for dinner." I'm sure I'll be able to meet my request. Right. â
Sean's thinking was too jumpy, and he couldn't keep up for a while, but subconsciously replied, "But ...... OK. â
"Very well, then I'll get back to the original topic." Sean nodded in satisfaction. Then he continued, "You will certainly go and inquire about us while reassuring us. By the way, let your mercenary group clean up the evidence. âŚâŚ For example, get rid of the secret of the young nobleman who came to you for a secret conversation. This way you will be able to dispose of all the evidence. â
Count Anton's pupils shrank slightly, albeit in a small motion. But it was still captured by Sean lightly.
Now, Sean knows one thing even better: both sides have left evidence.
At first, these pieces of evidence may be just a hindsight when the two parties negotiate terms to prevent the other party from breaking the contract afterwards. But now, with Emily becoming the Holy Maiden of the God of War Church, these evidences that should have been used in case of the unexpected have become a talisman for the Earl of Anton.
"So, I said we're all adults, so there's no need to hide it." Sean laughed, "Are you sure we're going to continue to discuss these things in public like this?" âŚâŚ I think it's safer to go back to your castle and talk about it. â
"You ......"
"Huh!" Sean suddenly stretched out a finger and swung it slightly, once again unceremoniously interrupting what Earl Anton was about to say, "Don't ask me 'Who are you', it's too bad." âŚâŚ Whenever a nobleman's intrigue or inner thoughts are exposed by me, they always have to ask me who I am, and they don't even change it, which is really helpless. â
Earl Anton swallowed, and he finally realized that things were somewhat out of his control. And it is obvious that Sean and the others came completely prepared, and even the conversation in the past few minutes just now was completely carried out according to the other party's train of thought, and the way he tried to seize the initiative several times was easily unloaded by the other party. It's just that being so led by the nose by a young man who only has bronze strength, Earl Anton is really a little unwilling.
"How do I know that what you say is true?"
Sean didn't pay attention to Settling down at all, but looked at Emily, chuckled and asked, "Mistress Emily, do you know why sometimes when two people are talking, one of them is always deliberately leading the other to say something he wants?" â
"I don't know." Emily shook her head dryly, "Why?" â
"Because if you don't do this, there will be no way to continue the topic, and the other party will not be able to grasp the initiative of the conversation!" Sean burst out laughing.
All of a sudden, Emily immediately realized that in the conversation with Sean just now, she was completely led by Sean's nose.
Obviously, her "why" was what Sean wanted her to say.
Shawshank subconsciously distanced himself from Emily and Sean a little. He felt more and more that Sean was like a devil, always able to lure the other party to make the mistakes he expected, and then become a puppet in the hands of the other party so naturally.
Count Anton's face was a little red, which was angry.
How did he not know that the conversation between Sean and Emily just now was meant for himself. He would never follow his own train of thought to answer and ask any questions, which is why Anton felt that Sean's mind was too jumpy to keep up with the rhythm. Because he couldn't even see what information Sean had taken away in the process of talking to him.
Although it was very sad and helpless, the Earl of Anton knew very well that he was no match for the other party in this kind of language communication.
Taking a deep breath and calming down the feeling that seemed to be humiliated, Earl Anton finally bowed down and said, "Lord Sean, Lord Emily, Lord Shawshank, please come with me to the study to meet." â
"We're hungry." Sean opened his mouth to mention.
Earl Anton didn't know whether Sean was messing with his mind, or if he was really hungry, or if he had some other intention, so he could only sadly assume that it was just a very ordinary conversation: "I will order my servants to prepare dinner." (To be continued......)
PS: Ask for a monthly pass, I don't really ask for it, just keep the top six! I always feel that the people behind me will rush up at any time, and my chrysanthemum seems to be unsafe...... Let me take a break, there will still be an outbreak this month, don't worry!
