Noble Emblem
596 There will be dark clouds after all
In the Chamber of Commerce in Harvey City, President Douglas looked at his daughter and was so excited that he was speechless.
The greatest wish of a businessman is to become a noble, but this is too slim. Indeed, there are many businessmen who have become nobles, but most of them are lords in name only, or have titles such as honorary knighthood. It is very difficult for a businessman to become a true noble. It is not that there is no such thing, but the number is too small.
And Beta gave a real title... Baron, although it was only the lowest baron, was essentially different from those honorary titles.
"Daughter, you have been with that Beta Lord for some time. What do you think of him?" Douglas suppressed his excitement and asked: "For example, is his credibility reliable?"
Amanda smiled: "Father, as businessmen, we are not qualified to question a young and promising pioneering lord. And the other party is also a master-level strongman... Well, he is also a priest, so many Putting the identities together, he should consider whether we are capable of completing the tasks he assigned, rather than us doubting him. "
Douglas laughed dryly, his face full of embarrassment.
But after all, he was in front of his daughter, so he calmed down and asked, "Is there anything he needs us to do?"
"This is his request." Amanda handed over a piece of paper.
Douglas took it and read it, then touched his head and took a breath: "If we really follow the above, it will almost wipe out all our family's wealth."
Amanda smiled and said: "But even so, it's worth it. Relatively speaking, these conditions are already very loose. If you don't want to, I think a lot of businessmen are willing to empty out their own wealth. Even if the conditions are doubled, there will still be many Make people willing to do it.”
"I know, I know." Douglas waved his hand: "I'm just sighing. It's a bit difficult just based on the strength of our chamber of commerce. Can we find more people?"
"The conditions are here. As long as we do it, Lord Beta will grant us the title." Amanda rubbed her eyebrows: "That is to say, Lord Beta has some difficulties now. I raised it in front of him. If it had been another lord or another time, there would have been no such opportunity."
Douglas sighed longly: "Baron... I remember that before my father, your grandfather, died, he pointed at the pile of gold coins at home and cursed, saying that these things cannot be exchanged for power and are of no use at all. , I will die with my eyes open. I thought I would be like him in twenty or thirty years, looking at a pile of gold coins with no regrets, but I didn’t expect that such an opportunity suddenly appeared.”
Amanda also sighed. She had been helping her father look at the Chamber of Commerce for several years, and she knew how weak businessmen without backers were in front of nobles.
"After we complete the task assigned by Mr. Beta, our family will be considered a person of status, and we will have a nicer surname." Douglas thought about the glorious days after his family became a noble, and he was a little fascinated, and then He suddenly thought of something: "Actually, our family can go further... What do you think of Beta? Is it your ideal partner?"
As soon as she heard this, Amanda knew what her father was planning. She shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I do have to admit that Beta is a good marriage partner, but his external environment is so bad that I don't want to get involved again."
Douglas didn't understand for a moment: "You mean, his current situation is very dangerous."
"That's not what I mean." Amanda said funnyly: "There are too many women who like Beta, and they are all top-notch women. Ms. Shirley will not say it, you have seen it too. There is a little princess beside him. Emma, the former queen Angel, Jessica, Katie and many other beauties are no better than me. They have created a terrible love hell around Beta, and I was stupid to jump into it. "
Seeing that Amanda didn't look like she was lying, Douglas reluctantly gave up his idea.
The next day, many businessmen in Harvey City knew about this matter. In fact, this news was deliberately released by Douglas, mainly to attract other businessmen to come up, cooperate with him, and jointly complete the tasks assigned by Beta. Of course, , he must be the leader in this matter, and others will assist him. Afterwards, he must be a baron, and those who cooperate will get the benefits he promised.
Then, the Chamber of Commerce, which had already appeared to be in decline, suddenly became crowded.
The holy war has begun, and Beta originally estimated that it would take at least a year or so before Waking City would be affected, but today he received news that a strange location was found outside Waking City, and there seemed to be signs of evil gods' sacrifices.
This location was discovered by a Frostwolf warrior. In the woods to the west outside the city, there was a very secret cabin. Three corpses were found inside, all of them women. They were dismembered into several parts, and some important internal organs were also found. Organs disappear. The unpleasant stench spread everywhere, and even from a distance, only the Frostwolves with a keen sense of smell could barely feel the smell of rotting corpses here.
"Check, we must find out this matter." Looking at the tragic scene in the room, he gave the order coldly.
Then the entire official force of Watkin City was mobilized. After an investigation, it was discovered that these three corpses were new female slaves in Watkin City. They had disappeared for three days, because these female slaves had just arrived and had no relatives or friends. , so it disappeared and no one cared.
But there are still no clues about the murderer.
But Beta was not discouraged. He continued to ask people to investigate and offered a reward. As long as someone provided clues and confirmed to be true, they would be rewarded with five silver coins.
Within ten days, Beta received more than a hundred so-called messages, and after finding more than a dozen similar and related clues, he finally eliminated the murderer.
Beta thought that the murderer must be an outsider, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be the original citizen, a man from the York tribe.
Thin male.
The ashamed Royd carried out unimaginable torture on this tribesman, and finally pried a piece of news out of his mouth.
The God of Killing has already set his sights on this place. In addition to him, there are four followers of the God of Killing who have sneaked into the city.
But the York people didn't know their identities.
After giving the York tribesman, who was no longer human, a happy ending, Lloyd knelt down in front of Beta in fear and shame.
