Chapter 817: Desperate Aristocrats

"Your Majesty, my name is Ali? Hassan? Abdul? Majid? Tikriti, from distant Kalinsan, has just led her family to rise to Manshakar and is honored to have you invited. Also, I hope my presumptuous thoughts have not disturbed your conversation with this beautiful lady. ”

The middle-aged man wearing a heavy turban and a white robe stroked his chest with one hand, and completed the full set in strict accordance with the etiquette of an audience with the supreme ruler, and the girl who followed him in a purple gauze skirt also learned how to look good, judging from the beautiful posture of the appearance, there is no doubt that he has received a very strict education and training.

Henry smiled and stretched out his finger to the chair opposite him: "Please take a seat, this lady is my escort at the banquet today, she is a powerful warrior and mage, so don't care." You must know that the world is not a balance now, and as the supreme leader of a kingdom, I have to be careful. ”

Hina, who was standing behind her, almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard this, her face instantly turned a little red, she kept biting her lower lip, and at the same time quietly twisted her bare thighs with her hands, and finally calmed down. She couldn't believe that someone could lie with a sincere face and not even blink an eye.

A Legendary Spellcaster Needs Guards?

It's just a joke!

As an eighth-level sword master and ninth-level mage, she was not even sure that she could get within a meter of Henry in the case of a sneak attack, and the countless magic items on her body alone were enough to give people a headache, not to mention that there were a lot of trigger protections, and only a fool would choose to launch an assassination on such a target.

"Thank you very much." The middle-aged man bowed again and sat down gently in his chair. "You're right! The world is full of crises. If I were in Callinshan, I wouldn't be alone at any banquets. Because assassination and poisoning there are completely commonplace. There are countless underground forces that are enough to completely cover up the truth. ”

When it came to the issue of security, he himself instantly became a little concerned, and the hand on the table trembled slightly, it seemed that he should have had the experience of brushing shoulders with death.

"Oh? I've heard that Port Carlin is quite chaotic, but is it the same with Manshaka? Henry asked, pretending to be interested.

With the intelligence network in his possession, I'm afraid that the slightest disturbance in the entire Kalinshan will have news coming back, how can it be unclear what form it is over there.

Since Serge Pasha. Lalan. El. After Pisaka, a man who had climbed to the top through lies, murder and blackmail, came to power, the South never stopped. He first made an alliance with the neighboring kingdom of Tesser. Then he actively infiltrated it, intending to attack the other side when there was civil unrest and annex it in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is only the external aspect, and the internal actions are also frequent, which makes many powerful nobles quite dissatisfied, plus the magic talisman will be manipulated in secret, it can be said that the conspiracy and assassination have not stopped for a moment, and the violent turmoil has made the already quite widespread gang members particularly rampant, so the person who can lead the family to prosperity in this environment is definitely not a general.

Ali smiled wryly and nodded, "That's right." The situation is slightly better than that of Port Carlin, but it is not much worse. Especially since the last two years my business has expanded to Port Carlin. The odds of being conspired against are multiplied. To tell you the truth, in addition to buying some jewelry, I want to find a reliable bodyguard, and I wonder if this lady behind you can ......"

Speaking of this, he secretly looked at the tall figure of the dragon girl, and there was a trace of greed in his eyes, and the naked possessiveness could be seen as long as he was not a fool.

"Humph!"

Sheena sneered disdainfully, and immediately released Long Wei, her pupils instantly turned into two lava balls, and the terrifying power swept half of the hall at once, and all the guests felt a chill down their spines, and they all turned their heads to see what was going on.

This slightly conceited middle-aged man was already sweating profusely at the moment, both legs were shaking uncontrollably, and if it wasn't for his strong will, he would have turned around and fled. He originally thought that the beautiful woman in front of him was just a beautiful vase, and wanted to test it in this way.

In the eyes of most Kalinshan men, women are just accessories and playthings, without the slightest social status, but what they didn't expect was that this time they actually kicked the iron plate.

"Hehe, it seems that Hina doesn't seem to be interested in your mention, maybe you can try it another way?" Henry encouraged with a playful smile.

A man who has never treated women as goods is so frightened by a beautiful woman that he has to say that this kind of scene is quite funny, and he even has the urge to fan the flames and see what happens in the end.

"No, no, no, thank you for your kindness, since this lady doesn't want to, forget it."

Ali wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead as he waved his hands desperately, his face full of fear. He had already seen one of the dragon maiden's hands on the hilt of the sword, and perhaps the next second it might come out of the sheath and see blood.

Henry pretended to be disappointed and sighed, "Well, it just so happens that I am also a little reluctant to lose such a beautiful and powerful guard. ”

As he spoke, he inadvertently swiped his fingers lightly across the dragon girl's bare forearms, his eyes full of playfulness and playfulness, intending to see what tricks this guy was up to.

Sheena surprisingly didn't slap Henry's hand away, letting it caress her skin, still with a cold expression on her face, as if she didn't feel anything.

Seeing this scene, Ali quickly showed a look of understanding, and smiled casually and complimented: "Your Majesty, you are really a good fortune to be able to get the favor of such a beautiful and charming lady." ”

"Hehe, you Kalinshan men, you don't know how to pursue a woman by normal means." With that, Henry glanced at the girl, who had never said a word. "Let's be straight, what is the purpose of your approach to me, it is better not to try to lie, because there is no escape from lies and illusions in these eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, his silver pupils suddenly turned black, reflecting the reflection of the bright starry sky. Even the dragon girl shuddered involuntarily. Goosebumps quickly spread throughout the body.

"You're as powerful as the rumors. Looks like I've found the right person this time. Ali put away his fake face, knelt down and kissed Henry's boot very respectfully. He didn't care about the surprised and disdainful eyes of his guests, and in a gesture of extreme humility, he double-folded an amulet.

"My life and my family were threatened, and two months ago a beggar hung it on the wall of my bedroom at home, along with a line of blood, which roughly means that I have become a prey to these people, and for the next few months. Their minions will destroy little by little what I hold dear, and when there is nothing left, it will end my miserable life. ”

Henry didn't reply immediately, but first picked up the talisman and looked at it carefully, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sneer.

The amulet is made of inferior pig iron, and the workmanship is very bad, surrounded by raised burrs, but the top lump is quite novel, it is two rough symbols twisted together like 3. The edges are connected to the two claws facing downwards, and the left end of the claw is slightly longer than the right end. It looks like it's out of order.

After reading it, he casually threw the amulet on the table and asked in a low voice, "Go ahead, tell me how you got into trouble with these guys, you must know that they are the real rulers behind the scenes." ”

"You know these people?!" Ali's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly raised his head. "Tell me who they are! I'm willing to pay any price to reach a settlement! ”

"I'm sorry, it's late." As he spoke, Henry pointed to the mark on the amulet. "I think you've heard that behind the nobles of Kalinshan there is a hidden force that can secretly control more than half of the family through guò servants. They are very secretive and only a very few people have heard of it, and in the eyes of these guys, you are worthless, so don't expect your so-called reconciliation. ”

Hearing this, Ali's face immediately turned dead, his eyes were full of horror and helplessness, and at the same time he muttered to himself: "What...... How could it be...... It must have been the last time I rejected Jamal's suggestion...... Damn it! These guys actually killed the killer for a single refusal! ”

"Hehe, it seems that you have understood the reason, then I don't mind telling the truth. The name of this organization is called the Talisman Society, also known as the Entangled Talisman, which was formed by a group of powerful undead spellcasters, and secretly manipulated the political situation in the entire Kalinshan, and it can be said that it is difficult for anyone in that land to escape their eyes. Nine of the Talisman Masters are Legendary Mages, and you simply don't have any room to fight back. ”

Henry said in a calm tone that was enough to make people mentally collapse, especially the four words legendary mage, like an arrow into the heart of this middle-aged man, and the whole person became lifeless.

Despair!

Due to the family business, Ali has been in contact with many spellcasters, so he knows very well how terrifying the power of these people is, he is very similar to kneeling down and asking for shelter, but he can't say anything when the words come to his mouth.

As a selfish Kalinshan nobleman, he knew that what he wanted would have to pay the same, if not several times, price, and now he couldn't think of anything else he could get.

Wealth?

No kidding!

Take a look at the antiques and works of art displayed in the palace, which one is not priceless!

Power?

How could a king be without this!

Beauty?

Maybe he used his daughter behind him as a bargaining chip at first, but after seeing Sheena's amazing beauty and temperament, he completely dispelled this idea.

After thinking about it, Ali took a deep breath and said, "I'm very sorry for the trouble, and thank you for the news. Maybe I'm really powerless to resist, but at least I won't die. As a token of gratitude, I am willing to give up all the money I carry with me this time, which is better than falling into the hands of the enemy. Also, this is my most beautiful daughter, Esma? Ali? Hassan? Majid, she is now your slave. ”

After saying that, he took out the contract that had been prepared to have legal effect, gently placed it on the table, stood up and bowed, and was about to turn and leave.

As for the girl, she stood motionless, completely like a puppet, especially the numb eyes, as if she already knew her fate...... (To be continued......)
