Blood Dragon

Chapter 320

"But they... are really powerful!" The subordinate flinched a little.Vertex novel chapters are updated the fastest "I see, that's no longer the level of ordinary human beings..."

Although he said "not ordinary human beings", after all, there are many things in this world beyond ordinary human beings.Special groups such as holy knights and chaotic champions often have existences beyond ordinary humans.In addition, there are magicians. It is said that certain magic can make magicians transform into giant beasts.So things like "not ordinary humans" don't attract much attention.

"Eldest sister, do you mean...to find a gladiator? Or...for a better weapon?"

"Gladiators are probably not good either." Luo Diya was very clear-headed, and could knock down dozens of burly men with a single whip. Such ability should not be underestimated. "The musket is not suitable either..." Although the musket can definitely deal with the twins, the bullets don't have eyes. It's okay to hit the hands, feet and limbs, but it's more troublesome to hit the deadly position. "Well, I'll find an expert over here."

"A master?" The subordinate wanted to ask again, but Luo Diya acted like "I've made up my mind", so he wisely retracted his words.

However, since that kind of thing has already happened, it must be much more difficult to do it.Based on the experience of Countess Marianne, they must have raised their vigilance now.Rodia thought about it.If you want to do it, you must find a good opportunity.That old woman was not easy to deal with, she was no stranger to violence and murder.

To be honest, Rodia miscalculated this time.For Countess Marianne did not smell danger in the air.This conspiracy is really too secretive, it was planned inside the palace, in the queen's bedroom, both the little girl and Luo Diya are guarding this secret tightly, so no rumors can be heard from the outside.Aunt Mary didn't take it to heart when she heard about it from the twins.

You must know that during the reign of Byron, the law and order in Falcon City was once very chaotic (of course, several areas outside the noble area), and robbery, kidnapping and other things were commonplace.In fact, unnamed corpses are often seen on the streets, and there are even more corpses that are not left behind.Not only civilians, many nobles have been victimized.

However, at the end of Byron's reign, probably influenced by the assassination of little Byron (today's sayings generally say that little Byron was stabbed on the street because of jealousy), Byron suddenly came to police the whole city. big raid.The cruelty of the means is beyond anyone's imagination.Perhaps Byron's plan was to use this opportunity to severely mop up a group of small characters who did not deal with him, but it also had an immediate impact on law and order.Next, the little girl took back the royal city with the support of the guards, and took advantage of the situation to deal a big blow to the gang.Under these successive waves of attacks, the once rampant criminal activities shrank rapidly.However, the original psychological shadow was not so easy to get rid of. It was not unexpected that those criminals made a comeback again.

Speaking of it, the twins did it too early and too fast.The subordinates sent by Rodia hadn't spoken out - to be honest, if they really did, maybe they wouldn't do it - they were defeated by Xing Ke based on the principle of "strike first" .Therefore, in their concept, things are very simple things of the level of "I met a bandit on the road".

If there is any concern, the key lies in exposing the combat power of Star Carved Superman, which may cause some trouble.Aunt Mary warned them, but the others didn't pay much attention.

Then they got a letter.

This is a very ordinary letter. To be more specific, it is an invitation letter. The inviting party is a newly opened auction house in the business district of Falcon City. A lot has changed, and it's normal for a new auction house to pop up or something.Of course, the invitation also came with an advertising brochure.

There are many newly opened (or newly closed) auction houses, but this newly opened auction house obviously intends to do something special to open up the market.So the things they auctioned are quite targeted: mainly all kinds of spices collected from all over the world (there are even several rare spices made by elves), some self-defense weapons suitable for women (the key recommendation is A few elegant but easy-to-use small pistols), some precious and rare jewelry, some clothing fabrics that ordinary people have never even heard of, and some exquisite works of art.In short, this auction is clearly aimed at young women, and everything on the auction is aimed at the needs of such customers.

It was Aunt Mary who received the letter. After opening the letter, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

The twins are no longer ordinary country gentlemen and nobles staying in the outskirts of Brassian.Although Aunt Mary took them in and out of the social world of Falcon City, one thing to understand was that Falcon City was a royal city.In other words, in this city, there will be no shortage of celebrities, dignitaries, rich and powerful.When people of the same class meet, they will naturally make comparisons, or show off their thoughts.And for nobles, what better way to show off their status and wealth than jewelry?As a result, all kinds of dances, banquets, tea parties and other gatherings held in Falcon City often turned into a jewelry show.Women compete for jewels and men compete for women.

In this kind of competition, ordinary jewelry is completely worthless.Only those special, rare things can catch the eye.For example, if you exude a fragrance that no one else has ever smelled, if your clothes are made of materials that other women cannot recognize, if your jewelry is eye-catching - then you win up.

Aunt Mary had a great deal of jewels-bequeathed to her by her husbands, as has been said.However, times are changing.Those things that were enough for the Countess Marianne to overwhelm the crowd at the beginning are obviously not up to par now.Besides, Aunt Mary had to dress herself, after all, and now she had to dress two—two and a half, actually, because she herself needed some jewels to decorate her appearance.

If they have no money, that's fine.The problem was that they were rich—even without Aunt Mary, Ashuruffat left a huge income to his two fiancées.That's right, according to the law, the previous property of the fiancée is calculated separately, but if the fiancé is willing - then who can say "no" to the fiancée spending some money?

Therefore, with her vision and experience, Aunt Mary immediately recognized the value of these commodities in the advertisement brochure.

"The time is tomorrow...Okay, let's all go and have a look tomorrow." Aunt Mary quickly made a decision.

Unfortunately, after some time, a footman knocked on the door.Some important person in Falcon City has requested an audience with Countess Marianne - and the time is fixed for tomorrow.

Aunt Mary only regretfully gave up this opportunity.The final decision was that the twins would visit the auction house and, if the price was right, come back with a few suitable items, while Aunt Mary and Farna hosted guests at home.As for Shirley, she is now in the palace most of the time, and only occasionally comes back to spend the night at night.

When the twins went out, they called a carriage outside - in the aristocratic district, there was never a shortage of such carriages.The carriages in Falcon City are much smaller than ordinary carriages, and can only accommodate two guests, let alone Aunt Mary's four-year-old carriage.However, this kind of carriage has an advantage, that is, it is flexible and can move around in crowded urban areas.

After the twins stepped into the carriage, the coachman waved his whip, and the carriage moved forward quickly.

"Wait," Xing Ke immediately realized that the direction of the carriage was not right. "Mr. Coachman, we are going to the business district..."

"The traffic is relatively congested at this time." The coachman lowered his head, his hat brim covered his face, and his voice sounded a bit vague. "Haste makes waste. If you want to get there quickly, it's best to go around a little bit."

Having said that, the twins can only give in.They sat back in the carriage, closed the curtains, and felt the vibration of the wheels.I don't know how much time has passed, but the carriage is still running fast.This time, Xing Ke felt something was wrong.

"Mr. coachman, why haven't you arrived yet?" She shouted while poking her head out of the car.Now she found that she was not in the bustling streets of the business district at all, but in a relatively unfamiliar place.This place should still be within the scope of Falcon City, but it is a strange city she has never been to.

"We'll be there soon." The coachman's voice was still vague.

"Stop!" Xing Ke quickly realized something was wrong.When she shouted that, the carriage stopped obediently and leaned against the side of the road.

"Where is this place? This is not a business district..." Xing Ke immediately jumped off the carriage, but when she wanted to ask the coachman for clarification, she stopped suddenly.Because she saw someone she shouldn't have seen.

Just now the coachman didn't stop because of her order, but because - the car had already arrived at its destination.

"Rodia?" Xing Ke called out the other party's name in surprise.The two parties have met several times, so they know each other.

"What's the matter, sister, what do we... Rodia?" She looked around in surprise, and found that apart from the two of them, the carriage, and Rodia, there was no one else in her field of vision.This is very unusual for a bustling city like Falcon City.

Rodia stood by the side of the road, looking at the twins coldly.After seeing them both get out of the car, she raised her hand in a gesture.Immediately, the carriage jumped out like a spring, and after two or three turns, it turned a certain turning and was out of sight.

No matter how stupid the twins are, they also understand what happened.

Even though they both wore the exact same clothes, the difference between the twins was immediately apparent at this point.Xing Jian retreated behind her sister in anxiety, while Xing Ke still stood proudly, not afraid.

"Ms. Luo Diya!" Xing Ke said. "What do you want to do?"

She also already knew from various rumors that this woman was unusual.Such a woman who was born as a commoner, did not receive any formal and good education, and even once worked as a prostitute, unexpectedly became the teacher of the little queen, and was extremely trusted, and could freely come and go in the palace.Anyone can see from this fact that Luo Diya is definitely not as simple as an ordinary teacher.It was rumored that it was Rodia's assistance that the little queen escaped from Falcon City from Byron.This is already a life-saving grace.Moreover, this woman has not been given a title or anything, which makes it difficult for others to take action against Luo Diya.

"I didn't do anything, I just heard that...you are amazing!"

Xing Ke's heart skipped a beat.She immediately realized from Rodia's words that what happened last time was probably not a group of robbers she met by chance, but had something to do with Rodia.

"So that's what happened?" She snorted. "So what? They are the ones who want to die."
