Chapter 103: Drift
In Volo City, the residence of the Minister of Security, Marshall.
In the living room, Viscount Marshall's plump body sank deeply into the chair. He opened his green bean-like eyes and looked at the two beauties in front of him. On the surface, he was calm, but inside, he was itching like a cat scratching.
It wasn't that Marshall didn't have enough concentration, it was just that the dance shown by these two women just now was so amazing. They were worthy of being the backbone elites trained by Pacha Brothel. She knows how to capture a man's heart.
"Ahem." Viscount Marshall coughed lightly, looking away from the two women and looking at the box of gold coins on the table.
He looked at Eliot and Job and said with a smile: "You two are too polite." "
These are all given to you by Lord Saldin." Job said: "He personally said He told us that he has admired you for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to meet you, so he specially asked us to come to visit you today. These trivial things are not disrespectful." "Haha." Viscount Marshall accepted all these flatteries, and
he His big-faced smile turned into several creases, and he said: "Although Lord Saldin and I have never known each other, we have heard of his famous name. He is the future great alchemist. I think he is also a smart and wise man. Please tell Lord Saldin that I, Viscount Marshall, am also willing to make friends with him. When he comes to Volo City, he can be a guest, and I will give him a banquet to welcome him." When Job heard this, he shook his head slightly, his
face He showed a helpless expression and said: "Lord Sardine originally wanted to come to visit you in person, but he has had some disputes with other nobles recently and is a little worried. He can't leave the manor for the time being. So he can't come in person. Greetings. He specifically asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."
"Understood. It turns out that Lord Saldin is in trouble." Viscount Marshall slapped his thigh, and the fat thigh meat suddenly swayed like a wave: "Then you guys are in trouble early. After all, they are all my old subordinates, and they still come with me to do these twists and turns."
Although Viscount Marshall had a reproachful tone, he was still very happy in his heart. Lord Saldin is a powerful faction that has risen in the past two years, and according to the news he has received, this young lord will soon be knighted, and from then on, he will also join the ranks of the nobility.
For this upstart, Viscount Marshall had no reason not to make friends with him, not to mention that he had given him two such beautiful women.
"Which noble is so blind that he has a dispute with Lord Saldin? If it involves violating the laws of the kingdom, just tell me." Viscount Marshall patted his chest and said.
"It's Viscount Charles. He illegally forced civilians to be mine slaves and violated the personal safety and freedom of other civilians."
As he spoke, Job took out some confessions from his arms and said: "This is the small town of Kit, Bianping Village. There is also the blood and tearful accusations made by the villagers of Safi Village against Viscount Charles, Baron Petty and Baron Salomé. They kept recruiting young people from these villages and forcing them to work in the mines. Many villagers have died in the mines. Among them."
Upon hearing that Viscount Charles was involved, Viscount Marshall's originally heroic expression immediately changed color. He has been on good terms with the Charles family since his father, Viscount Charles. It is really difficult for him to investigate the past and make friends.
"You can tell me what Lord Saldin needs me to do. I am still happy to make friends with him." Viscount Marshall said: "However, when it comes to disputes between nobles, I mean, still Peace is the most important thing. Our territories are adjacent, so we can meet each other without looking up. Don't go too far."
Viscount Marshall changed the subject and first set the tone that peace is the most important thing to prevent Lord Saldin from making some excessive demands.
When Job heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "That's natural. Lord Saldin didn't pay much attention to these two people, Baron Petty and Baron Salomé. It's just that Viscount Charles has a high status, and Saldin The lord also wants to make peace with him. And he knows that Viscount Charles is your best friend, so what we want you to do is just not helping each other." "Not helping each other?" Marshall was stunned at first, and then said with a smile on his face
. : "Lord Saldin is indeed a generous man. I can do both without helping each other. Don't worry about this, Lord Saldin."
He originally thought that Lord Saldin was spending so much money to allow himself to deal with Viscount Charles. But he didn't expect that he just asked the two to help each other.
If this is the case, then it would be too comfortable to earn gold coins and women.
'This young man has such a big mind, and he is indeed capable of achieving great things. ' Marshall thought secretly in his mind and gave Saldin another high look.
"In this case, I would like to thank you on behalf of Lord Saldin." Job immediately bowed and thanked you.
With that said, Job and Elliot stood up and left.
Viscount Marshall's fat body twisted, stood up, and said goodbye to the two of them: "Job, go back and say hello to your father for me."
Job thanked him a few more times, then turned and left.
After the two left, Marshall sat back on the chair, changed into a comfortable posture, waved his hands lazily towards the two women in front of him and said, "Keep dancing!" Two days later, Viscount Charles also came to Volo City
, Visit to Viscount Marshall.
Viscount Marshall still took him to the drawing room and invited him to watch the performance of the two dancers that Saldin sent him.
Of course, he would not tell Charles the origins of these two women.
For the past two days, Marshall couldn't put it down and ravaged these two women day and night. Today, their steps are frivolous and no longer as nimble as they were two days ago.
Viscount Charles took pleasure in torturing women and never liked watching women dance. He looked at it pretendingly for a while, and after appreciating it, he took the gift out of his arms and put it on the table.
"This is a crystal gem I dug in my mine. I polished it into the shape of a five-pointed star and gave it to you. I hope it can bring you good luck." Viscount Charles pushed the gift box to Marshall and said.
Viscount Marshall opened the gift box and glanced inside. The gems were good gems, but they were much shabby compared to those given by Lord Saldin.
'What kind of best friend is there? There is no young man who spends so much money. ' Marshall thought to himself.
"Viscount Charles is interested." Marshall accepted it with a smile.
Seeing Marshall accept the gem, Viscount Charles went straight in and said with a regretful and resentful expression: "Sir Marshall, my mine is in trouble now. If you don't help me, I'm afraid gems like this will never be mined again." I came out to give it to you."
After that, he told Viscount Marshall what Lord Saltin had done.
"This son of a bitch, Saldin, is such a bastard. He has killed so many of my people. I must settle this debt with him. Please also ask Lord Marshall to help! After the incident is completed, I will have another big thank you." Viscount Charles said indignantly.
After he finished speaking, he thought that Viscount Marshall would join him in condemning Lord Saldin, but he did not expect that Marshall would be completely indifferent to his words.
"Viscount Charles, do you have evidence to prove that the fifteen of your men were killed by Lord Saldin himself?" Marshall asked.
Charles was stunned. He didn't expect Marshall to ask him to produce evidence.
"No, but there is no doubt that he did it. As long as we go to the door together to confront him, everything will come to light." Charles felt a little uneasy, but still opened his invitation. But Marshall shook his head slowly, took out the confessions Job gave him from his arms, and placed them in front of Charles.
"You have no evidence, but Lord Saldin gave me the evidence that you forced civilians into slavery. If Viscount Alex knew about these things, you might be in serious trouble," Marshall said in a deep voice.
Charles picked up the confession and read it for a long time. He suddenly looked a little flustered and said loudly: "This..."
He wanted to say it was false, but he couldn't lie in front of Marshall.
But Marshall continued: "Viscount Charles, you don't need to panic. When Saldin handed this confession to me instead of to Viscount Alex, he wanted to reconcile with you. Since he has this intention, Why are you holding on to him? You know, the relationship between Saldin and Viscount Alex is quite good." Charles
looked at Marshall, and he finally realized that this fat man's words were all directed towards him. of the Lord of Sardine.
Looking at these confessions and Marshall's attitude. The indignation that Charles showed suddenly disappeared, and he sighed: "Am I actually going to reconcile with this little bastard?" "
You may be neighbors for many years, so why bother yourself?" Marshall advised. Said: "One more friend is better than one more enemy. Now Lord Saldin has given you the opportunity for reconciliation, you must seize it. Baron Pedi and Baron Salome are not so lucky."
Charles Judging from Marshall's words, it seemed that Saldin did not intend to let these two barons go. But this has nothing to do with me.
Unexpectedly, Lord Saldin was so powerful that even Viscount Marshall in front of him was willing to lobby for him. He suddenly felt betrayed.
Although Charles was full of resentment, he was helpless in the end. Since he had returned in vain, he didn't want to stay here anymore. He stood up angrily, bowed slightly to Marshall, and immediately turned around and left.
When Marshall saw Charles leaving so rudely, he suddenly became angry.
He took out the pentagram gem from the gift box and weighed it casually. He thought about making friends with nonsense, Saldin is much more polite than you.
"Stop dancing and come into the room with me!" Marshall's mood was affected and he waved impatiently to the two dancers.
While Viscount Charles was visiting Viscount Marshall, Yale was sitting carelessly in the guest seat in the living room of Salome territory, looking at Baron Salome with a playful expression.
Baron Salome was sitting in the main seat, looking at Yale with a look of disgust, and said coldly: "Let me tell you clearly what Lord Saldin sent you to do." "Why is your Lord Baron so
hostile?" Yale smiled and said: " My master sent me here to help you."
"Help me? What a joke!" Baron Salome said in a mocking tone: "How many mine slaves have you detained, and now you have the nerve to help me? ."
"That is the free choice of those miners, and it has nothing to do with my family. Moreover, as long as the Baron is a little nicer to those miners, will they find ways to escape?" Yale explained with a smile.
"Hmph!" Baron Salome was speechless for a moment and could only express his anger with a cold snort.
He was furious at this moment. He slammed the table and said to Yale: "If you want to ridicule me, get out of here. Otherwise, I will have you tied up and cut into pieces to feed to wild wolves." Yale didn't do anything
. Not afraid, he said in a deep voice: "With all due respect, Baron, do you really dare to attack me?"
Baron Salome was at a loss for words again. The knights under him are not very powerful, and their titles are not high. Without the support of Viscount Charles, he would not dare to take the lead in attacking the people of Saldin Manor.
"What do you want to do here?" Baron Salome avoided the topic and asked again fiercely.
Seeing a baron getting angry and angry at him, Yale didn't feel any fear at all. Instead, he was calm and composed. He knew that this psychological advantage was entirely brought to him by the strength of Saldin Manor.
So he said in a relaxed tone: "I just said it. I'm here to help the Baron." "
How can I help you?" Baron Salome asked suppressing his anger.
"Baron, you are going to be betrayed by Viscount Charles. Don't you know? Do you really think that Viscount Charles visited Marshall in the past two days to deal with my master?" Yale asked Baron Salome in response
. . Charles's visit to Marshall was very secretive. How did the other party know about it?
He was confused, but he could also realize that Yale was trying to interfere with his relationship with Viscount Charles, and he looked at Yale with some surprise.
Yale took out a few confessions from his arms, threw them directly on the table, and said: "The matter of you and Baron Petty forcing civilians to be slaves in the mines has already been collected by Viscount Charles and sued to the city hall. You think Charles wants to help you? Seeking justice for the escape of the mining slaves, in fact, he is targeting your mines." Upon
hearing this, Baron Salome quickly picked up the confession on the table and read it quickly.
Only halfway through reading, he turned pale.
There are many things in this, including the things he tortured and killed the residents of Safi Village and raped the village women. They are listed clearly one by one. Even many hidden things have been unearthed.
Including the fact that he colluded with the jackals to massacre the town many times and rob the town's residents.
People who are not very close to him cannot obtain this information at all.
"Where did you get this?" Baron Salome suddenly panicked. This is to let the city hall know that he must not escape involvement.
Yale sneered: "These were collected by Viscount Charles. He went to the city hall this time just to report you and Baron Petty. As long as you fall, he can take your mine as his own. Poor Lord Baron." , do you still imagine that he can help you take back the mining slaves?"
Baron Salome looked at Yale, shook his head subconsciously and said: "I don't believe it. You must be trying to sow discord between us. It must be!" "It's
with No, you will know when he comes back." Yale smiled slightly, stood up, bowed to Salome, and turned to leave.
