Emmanuel Joe's mercenary station is located outside the city, between the underground market and the Galloping Chamber of Commerce. As Lant's status continues to rise, the former leader of the army is no longer what he used to be. Within a few months, he purchased the surrounding yards and turned his military depot into a comprehensive venue that combined a chamber of commerce, a barracks, a school, a training ground, and a dormitory.
Knowing that Lant preferred children with a good education foundation, he specially invited several children of down-and-out aristocrats to teach the new children literacy and arithmetic. He also invited reliable wandering knights to teach the children training, and also used Gatsby's black market to teach them how to read and arithmetic. They found some magic plants and distributed them to each of their meals.
After several months of trying, the probability of the bloodlines of the children he sent to Yeqi City has been greatly increased, and the commissions and potions he received have also doubled. Now, after winning the second wife of the Demon Holder, he is Try to break through to become a high-level knight, or find yourself a junior monster as a mount.
In addition to these, his own sphere of influence has also increased. From the past few blocks, it now covers nearly 1/4 of the area outside the city, including all the major buildings of the Benma family outside the city within his scope.
The main building of his military station is also several times larger than before. The room belonging to him, the mercenary leader, also occupies the entire sixth floor of the main building. In addition to the regular rooms such as the living room, bedroom, and training room, there is also a special room The room used to house Bai Xiao is the most important means of communication in the city. It can be said that his room is like a small lord's room in terms of function and area.
Now in Emmanuel Joe's reception room, he was sitting behind the desk with some restraint, and sitting opposite was a mysterious woman wearing a silver mask.
"Mr. Emmanuel, please don't get me wrong. I came here just to find my two descendants." The mysterious woman's voice was a little hoarse, which made people confused. "Their names are Sujia and Finney. Someone Seeing that they were sent to you by people from their own family.”
"Um..." Emmanuel's eyes unconsciously drifted to the gray area below the woman's neck, "Finny was picked up by a businessman named Gatsby, and Sujia went to Yeqi City."
"Oh, Yeqi City?" The woman sounded a little disappointed, "I've heard about that city, and it seems that it's very inconvenient to go there."
As she spoke, the woman took out a small bag and threw it on Emmanuel's table. You could tell from the clinking sound that there were a lot of gold coins in it.
"Can you please bring Su Jia here for me to see? I am her distant relative and miss her very much."
The woman's voice was full of temptation. The mercenary leader's right hand had already subconsciously reached for the bag of gold coins, but was suddenly held down by his left hand. The woman in front of him was undoubtedly a witch. Accepting the witch's deal without authorization would cause big trouble.
"Madam, you can go to Finney first. Mr. Gatsby won't..."
Emmanuel still wanted to give in, but an old man in black robe with a strong aura suddenly walked behind the masked woman.
"Someone with blind eyes is here, I'm going to deal with him!" The old man's voice became hoarse, and every word he spoke seemed to come from hell, making the mercenary leader tremble all over.
"Uncle, this is the royal capital, you have to be careful..." Before the masked woman could finish speaking, the black robe disappeared out of thin air from the room.
"Madam, it seems that someone is looking for you." Emmanuel probed cautiously.
"It doesn't matter, there are always people who don't open their eyes." The masked woman said nonchalantly, "Could it be the Knights of the Royal Capital that you called? Guess whether you can deal with that group of pampered trash. Where is a dark magician?"
Hearing the words Dark Mage, Emmanuel trembled instinctively. The scene less than a year ago still plays out repeatedly in his dreams, so he said: "I can't evaluate a magician." The combat power of the mentor, but it is obvious that there was a dark magician in the outer area of the city at the beginning of this year who also thought so."
Seeing that the mercenary leader in front of her refused to accept the gold coins, the masked woman sighed and said with regret: "Mr. Emmanuel, if you don't accept my employment, I will have to find someone else to replace you. I’m afraid this is for you…”
"Boom~"
Before the woman had time to finish what she said, the wall and window behind Emmanuel were torn open like paper. Lant rode an intermediate frost wolf and broke through the wall. He held a head in his left hand and waved a magic weapon with his right hand. The Sword of the Web.
"ah!"
When the woman reacted, her thigh and right shoulder were already firmly clamped by the wolf's claws, and she couldn't use any magic.
Lant patted the frost wolf under him, causing it to release its front paws. The woman reacted and immediately pulled out a knife and tried to stab the frost wolf, but was slapped on the ground again.
"I am the Court Viscount of Duke Benet!"
The woman's silver mask fell to the ground, revealing her delicate face, slightly dark skin, and the demonic horns that could be seen in her bun.
"I suspect you of assassinating the Duke of Yeqi City." Lant shouted while sitting on the Frost Wolf.
When the woman saw that she was completely unable to move, she quickly argued: "Impossible! I don't know that Duke at all!"
"What a coincidence, I am," Lanter said leisurely, "You were just about to assassinate me."
"..." The woman was stunned and speechless. She didn't expect that a duke would be so low-spirited that he would personally deal with the gang.
"Lan...Duke, are you okay?" Just when the woman hesitated, Canine and Dugan led a large group of knights into the sixth floor. The accompanying knights almost filled the small courtyard at the core of the mercenary station. .
"Your Majesty the Duke, I am from Duke Benet!" the woman shouted, "You can ask him, me and... although the magician you have has demon blood, it is recognized by the empire..."
Lant held up his head, shook it in front of the woman and said, "It's up to Bennett whether he admits it or not, but this magister is a magic net walker and is suspected of stealing the authority of His Majesty Willy as his favored one. , I cannot tolerate such a blasphemer running around in front of me."
At this moment, the woman's expression was full of innocence and fear, as if the Rand in front of her was a dark demon, and she and his uncle were just innocent victims: "...you."
Rant jumped off the demon wolf, approached the woman, and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, what is the origin of this gang?"
After trying to break away from the wolf's claws again to no avail, the woman said in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "Sir, we are not a gang. I am the court viscount of Benet State Pillar, and that is Benet State Pillar's private soldier!"
"Private soldiers?" Lant whispered, "Then why are you here? Where is your hideout?"
