Chapter 386 The Night is Young (V)

Game time PM23:30
The Violet Empire, the capital of Salamune, the noble district
A burly, rough-looking orc woman appeared and stopped in front of Ugin's court. Although she was dressed plainly, her ordinary-looking facial features revealed a hint of extravagance, which did not violate the neighborhood at all.

Many passers-by will subconsciously look back at this orc woman, and after discovering this person's face, they all guess her origin in unison, gossip secretly in their hearts whether she moved here recently, which noble family relatives, um, this honor can only be a relative, there are not many other possibilities...

Different from the inaccessible Miye Court, the Wujin Court located on the main road of the aristocratic district has a good location. Even if the surrounding environment is not as lively as the Panshan Court, it is not much worse. In addition, the noble merchants who live here have less time to rest. It's late, so this Crown Avenue is still brightly lit and crowded with people. Unlike the old city where the magic crystal lamp was cut off half an hour ago, people in the noble district will end their various activities at around two o'clock. , and then sleep lazily until the sun rises, and will not reluctantly get up until the servant prepares the morning tea at noon.

In this game world where the average physical fitness of each person far exceeds reality, eight hours of sleep is not necessary. If the mental state is not taken into account, four or five hours of sleep a day is enough for those who break through the middle-level threshold, and it will hardly affect to health.

People who are eligible to live in the noble district have a little background in strength, and no matter how bad they are, they can drink those refreshing alchemy potions as water, so the pace of life is always very leisurely.

All in all, the Crown Avenue at [-]:[-] at night is not much cooler than during the day.

[No chance to do it...]

Cassie, who stood with her hands behind her back in an attic opposite the Wujin Court, shook her head, covered the curtains and continued to monitor the orc woman's every move from the gap. This is the house that Futaba rented at a high price two days ago, and the view is very good. It is spacious but not the most expansive, and the location is inconspicuous but not the most hidden. Although there are many low-level early warning spells inside, and the glass has been slightly tampered with, it is completely purchased by some rich or powerful people.' Extra property' comes standard and is arguably the best viewing spot.

Today is the day when Motan and Dantis are negotiating, so it is only natural for Cassie to appear here, and according to Futaba's guess, the guy who lobbied on behalf of the Marshall family is very likely to be here in the next two days. Come on, after all, no matter from which angle you look at it, Archduke Fernand, who has the most unstable position, can only be ranked last in terms of priorities.

Cassie, who had been transferred here since last night, didn't slacken in the slightest all day long, and in the end, she really managed to guard the guy who ran away from her before!
But he can't do anything, this place is no worse than the inaccessible Miye Court, the pedestrians on the Crown Avenue are too dense, and most of them have some background, there are not too many bodyguards or guards in the crowd, even if the strength can be used in the whole Cassie, who ranks among the top ten under Fire Claw, did not dare to act rashly. Whether it is being recognized, accidentally injuring the melon-eating crowd, or causing a huge commotion, it may cause incalculable consequences, and this risk cannot be taken.

Futaba also told him in advance that even if he really found a target near Wujinting, he should not do it lightly, as long as he could not let the other party out of sight as much as possible while tracking, and if he had a chance, he would wait until he left this avenue.

So Cassie calmly watched the orc woman follow the guards into the courtyard, and then organized her outfit in an orderly manner. In addition to the standard equipment, there were three poisoned daggers, a box of poisonous needles, Two chimney pipes and a scroll of the mage's eye.

He didn't believe that the other party could slip away from him so easily this time.

……

Ugin Court, Main Hall
The grey-haired Grand Duke Dantes frowned displeasedly, he put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and calmly said to the orc woman standing not far in front of him: "Ma'am, if I remember correctly If so, my feedback to you should be exactly twelve o'clock tonight."

"I am deeply sorry for this, esteemed Grand Duke Dantis, please forgive my presumptuousness, but there is a reason for it..."

The latter saluted impeccably, if not for her round and simple appearance, her posture could even be described as graceful.

Grand Duke Dantis didn't intend to continue to worry about it, but raised his hand slightly, and asked after the servants on both sides had withdrawn from the supper, "Tell me who you are first, and then tell me Buffy's conditions. Finally, let’s talk about your so-called incident for a reason.”

"Daisy Hans, Duke Buffy Marshall's loyal servant in Salamune."

The kind-faced, talkative human woman who died tragically in an 'unfortunate accident' flashed through her mind. Gavin showed a smile, casually requisitioned the aunt's name, and then continued flatly: "Conditions It is an industry whose total value does not exceed two million gold coins, but this is not important."

Dantes raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's not important?"

Even though he has seen a lot of turmoil, he still doesn't understand the words of Daisy in front of him. After all, the essence of the "judgment" at the Supreme Council is the exchange of interests, so no matter what you say, this person who claims to be a loyal servant of Marshall should focus on Put it on the conditions, and then increase the price yourself, the other party pays back the money, increase the price yourself, and the other party pays back the money again, until one of the parties compromises or gives up.

Once the deal is settled, cast a wait-and-see vote, take the benefits, and then wipe the ass of the party who paid the price.

If the negotiation is not right, vote whatever you want, although there is no benefit, but there is no need to help the other party clean up the mess.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the family that is ruled as 'guilty' will choose to chat with the other seven families, and then finalize four of them to exchange benefits based on the preliminary results.

Of course, the details are much more complicated, but that's the general picture.

It is precisely because of this that Grand Duke Dantis felt strange. After all, the initiator of Fire Claw's position is very firm, and the attitudes of the Crystal Wolf family and the Baroca family are also relatively subtle. Open your mouth, so apart from the Hussein family who have been in the united front with the Marshall family for a long time, whether it is the Dantès, Fernand or Simon family, this Daisy in front of me should try her best to win, but she said 'no "Important" These three words are really intriguing.

"Yes, it doesn't matter."

Jiawen nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "So I'd better tell Your Excellency the reason for bothering me in advance."

Dantès stroked his gray stubble: "Speak."

"First of all, if I guessed correctly, His Excellency the Grand Duke should have made an appointment with another lobbyist today."

The corners of Jiawen's mouth curled up in a playful arc, and she laughed with a deep voice that was far from her own voice: "If I hadn't come earlier, I would have bumped into him."

The old nobleman raised his eyebrows: "What's the reason?"

"There are too many reasons, really too many."

Gavin's tone was unusually calm, and she said without thinking: "It's just some trivial questions, such as the time for you to give an answer or the two chairs in the main hall that are quite inconsistent, etc. Of course, the most important thing is This is the current opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that allows you to open your mouth, for example, let me sit down and chat with another person who intends to sanction the Marshall family and subvert traditions and rules..."

She didn't say the whole thing, because there was no reason why the other party couldn't think of her plan, and it would be too aggressive to say too much, and that's not how business is discussed.

Grand Duke Dantès laughed, neither admitting nor denying, but stood up leaning on his luxurious cane: "Just in time, before that friend arrives, I can tell you first that the gold coin worth two million gold coins The property is not enough to impress the Dantès family."

Now that he had been told what to think, he simply opened his mouth directly to the lion.

But Jiawen didn't answer directly, but said out of nowhere: "Four."

"Ok?"

Grand Duke Dantis didn't react for a while, and asked curiously: "What four?"

"Fire Claw, Crystal Wolf, Baroka, Simon."

Jiawen's tone was indifferent, as if she had completely forgotten her position and said with a smile: "No more, no less, exactly four sanctions votes."

Dantis was startled, then slowly sat back on the chair, and said after a long silence, "Then what reason do you have to come here?"

The implication is very simple, except for the Marshall family itself, which has no voting rights, and Lingshanghua, who holds two votes and is always plus or minus zero... Cough, the Violet family, with four of the remaining seven votes for sanctions, the Marshall family Even if the family wins over all the Dantes, Fernand and Hussein families, it is meaningless. It would be more enjoyable to wait for death.

"Since I'm here, it proves that Grand Duke Buffy has not given up, and things may not have turned around."

Gavin looked directly into the other person's eyes, and slowly withdrew her smile: "But if you make the wrong choice, then I'm afraid there will be no turning point for this matter, that's why I avoided making an appointment with you The time, the reason for coming to visit in advance, sometimes it's better not to make extravagant issues, and it's the same for the Marshall family, and it's also the same for the Dantes family."

Grand Duke Dantes looked serious, then tapped his cane lightly, and said in a deep voice: "A choice is just a choice, there is no right or wrong, Buffy may have made a bad decision, Ms. Daisy, your attitude makes me I'm very unhappy."

Gavin was not at all overwhelmed by the powerful Grand Duke in front of the empire, but said calmly: "Compared with those worse results, I don't think it is unacceptable to be unhappy, my lord duke. "

Grand Duke Dantes shook his head and sighed, "I'll give you two minutes to explain."

"No, actually I've already finished my sentence."

Gavin shook her head, then bowed slightly and said, "But in order to thank you for your generosity, I would like to give you a piece of advice at the end..."

"advice?"

Grand Duke Dantis was a little dumbfounded, and he had already made up his mind to go to Mercury Court to find Grand Duke Marshall in person tomorrow, so he said casually, "It's up to you."

"Dantes' loyalty to Violet... that is, the Bracen family is touching."

Gavin looked up at the emblem of the Dantis family hanging high in the center of the wall with emotion, and asked meaningfully: "Although there is only one Violet family, there is not only one Bracen."

After that, she turned and walked out without waiting for Grand Duke Dantis to react, and stopped at the entrance of the main hall, without looking back, she said: "If you figure it out, I will come again. "

[The position of the four companies is sanctions...]

【Things may not have turned around...】

[There is only one Violet family...]

【But there is not only one Blaisen...】

Grand Duke Dantès' complexion was cloudy and uncertain, and the right hand holding the cane was already slightly pale.

Game time PM23:49
Aristocratic district, dark alley next to Wujin Court, six minutes after Gavin left
"Heh, I wasted a lot of time because of boring things."

Mo Tan, who appeared in the shadows, curled his lips in disgust, turned out of the alley and walked over to Wu Jinting not far away, and whispered with a half-smile: "It's only ten minutes early, that guy should have arrived... ..."

He stretched himself, and came to Ugin Court and grinned with eight teeth to one of the guards: "Hello, little brother, I'm Anthony Dub, who has made an appointment with Grand Dantes for a late-night interview Si, do you want some supper?"

Mo Tan casually took out half a roasted crow that was completely cooled and handed it over.

"No... no need, please wait a moment, I will report to the Duke."

The little guard was frightened, and quickly turned around and ran towards the main hall at the end of the courtyard.

"Tsk tsk, poor kid with no food..."

Mo Tan winked his eyes at the crow's head in his hand, as if he felt very worthless for the other party: "You are so delicious."

A minute has passed...

Two minutes have passed...

Five minutes have passed...

Seeing the figure of the guard trotting over, Mo Tan threw away the half of the crow stand in his hand, and asked with a half-smile, "What does your lord Duke say?"

"The Duke said..."

The guard took a deep breath and said solemnly, "No."

"Very good, thank you."

……

two minutes later
Crown Avenue, the surveillance attic rented by Futaba Shigekin

Mo Tan, who came in with the spare key, pushed the door open, squinted his eyes and looked around, and realized that the beast elf did not sneak up to scare him, but was indeed not here.

【Looks like that guy is one step ahead of me this time. Although I don’t know if that old man Dantes has figured it out or was fooled, anyway, the chance here is not great, if that’s the case...】

"Cassie's absence here means that he is following the friend who is suspected of being a player. It's not yet twelve o'clock, and it's just the beginning of the nightlife~"

Mo Tan grinned and left the attic leisurely.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, why don't you visit the Grand Duke of the Mediterranean and have a chat with him."
