In the office of the head of the Mercenary Alliance's Meteor City branch.
"So? What do you mean, you want us to just let him go?" Kelton looked at the girl in front of him with a kind smile on his face. Although he didn't know where this girl came from, she showed the warrant of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. The level was quite high, so he did not act like the head of his branch in front of the beautiful girl in front of him.
As far as he knew, only Alex, the first external enforcer of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, had a warrant of this level. Could it be that this girl was sent by Alex
"Yes, I am very sorry for what happened in the Mercenary Alliance, but both Regnar who was captured and Alvin who was attacked are members of our Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. In order to avoid causing an embarrassing situation, we We implore the Mercenary Alliance to be more generous and let Regnar go, and we will handle it ourselves, and we promise to give the Mercenary Alliance a satisfactory answer." Annelotte explained, her tone was still cold even when pleading with the other party. .
Kelton paid no attention to Annelotte's last words. Give us a satisfactory answer? You take the person away, are we going to openly argue with your Moon Shadow Thieves Guild because of such a little guy
However, the attention given by the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild forced Kelton to wonder. Alvin was indeed a member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, but Regner was just a jobber working in the chore department. Why did such a small character cause such concern to the guild? Attention of higher-ups
"Perhaps you don't know much about the internal structure of our mercenary alliance. The Punishment Department is not a vassal of any department. It is an independent department. Although the incident happened in our Falling Star City branch, if you want to mention someone , I’m afraid we have to give the Department of Punishment a reasonable explanation.” Kelton said with some embarrassment.
Annelotte sneered in her heart. Kelton's curiosity was really serious. It seemed that he didn't want to let him go without an explanation. Fortunately, Annelotte had already expected this situation. A hint of girlish cunning flashed in her eyes, and then she looked around mysteriously.
The guard stood expressionless at the door, like a sculpture, but Annelotte still slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She turned her head and looked at Kelton and said:
"Please excuse my offence."
Annelotte made a few simple gestures, and a slight magical light radiated from her crystal white fingers. The guard's eyes showed a wary look. Although he didn't understand magic, even an idiot could tell that this girl was Using spells.
But Kelton waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. As a thirteenth-level mage, he had long seen that the girl in front of him was an eleventh-level peer, and now the girl was casting a spell that even a magic apprentice could do. The simple spell used is the communication spell.
"Please forgive me, it would be better if fewer people know about these contents." Annelotte's quiet and soft voice rang in Kelton's mind.
"Of course, please tell me." Kelton also used the communication technique.
"With this warrant, I think you have guessed who appointed me, right?"
"Sir Alex? As far as I know, this warrant is only owned by Alex in your guild." Kelton thought for a while and answered.
Annelotte's eyes flashed with a smile, and a sense of joy at a successful prank came to her heart. She continued the message and said: "Mr. Kelton is really knowledgeable. Yes, this warrant belongs to Lord Alex."
"Then what Sir Alex means..." When it came to Alex, Kelton was a little hesitant. After all, he was the first executive of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. If he inquired about something that he shouldn't have done out of curiosity, Knowing something, how would Alex treat him
Although Kelton had never met Alex in person, even some of the rumors circulating among the guild's top brass were enough to make him fear that man.
"Mr. Kelton, please rest assured, it is actually not a big deal. This is just a romantic debt left by Lord Alex when he was young. Back then, Lord Alex was quite crazy about a certain woman in Falling Star City. The specific details are I won’t go into details about the process, but in short, the result was Regnar... So this time, after hearing about the incident, Master Alex sent me to deal with it," Annelotte said.
"Hehe, that's it." Kelton didn't bother to use the communication technique and answered directly with a smile. There wasn't much expression on his face, but in his heart there were ten thousand grass and mud horses roaring and galloping.
As early as when Annelotte mentioned "a romantic debt left in her youth", he felt something bad in his heart. He originally wanted to stop Annelotte from continuing. But Annelotte's speaking speed suddenly became much faster, and he listened to everything in a daze.
Not a big deal? This is all related to Sir Alex’s reputation, right
The romantic affair of the first external enforcer of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild! The romantic affair of an eighteenth-level high-level assassin! The romantic affair of the man with the title of Shadow Death in Falling Star City! ! ! !
I believe that for Sir Alex, this is a past that he doesn’t want to be mentioned, right? So what will happen to me now that I know this past incident? Silenced? I really don’t believe you when you say you won’t silence me! You little girl, why are you so quick to talk? Looking at your cold appearance, I thought you were an indifferent person! As a result, he pushed me into the fire pit with just one mouthful! What a hot pit that is! It’s a big pit you’ll never get out of! Wouldn't it be nice if you told me earlier that it wouldn't be easy to reveal? I made it clear before I even asked you. Did you trick me on purpose
After scolding Annelotte in front of him in his heart, Kelton still had to face this cruel reality, and now he knew exactly what to do.
"Then, please come with me to get the person. I believe that... that young man should not have been harmed in such a short period of time. Let's leave quickly!" Kelton stood up quickly.
"Please wait." Annelotte looked at Kelton's face, which alternated between green and blue, and couldn't help blinking her lively eyes happily. She continued: "Because Regner himself doesn't know about that matter, so I don't know. You can’t show up. Please take him out alone and let him go back to the hotel by himself. Of course, please don’t mention anything to him.”
"Oh, that's it. Hehe, I'll just do as you ask. Don't worry, not only does Regnar know nothing, I don't know anything either, so Sir Alex doesn't have to worry about anything. I Swear!" Kelton promised Annelotte while cursing his curiosity in his heart.
"Then, I leave everything to Mr. Kelton. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Thank you for your help. I think Mr. Alex will keep it in mind." Annelotte nodded at Kelton. nod.
Kelton broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "No need! No need at all! It's my honor to serve Sir Alex. Sir Alex doesn't need to worry about people like me. .”
"In any case, thank you for your help today." Annelotte thanked her again, but her cold tone did not make anyone feel any gratitude. But Kelton no longer cared about Annelotte's attitude towards him, he just nodded enthusiastically. Head, watching her leave.
"Let's go, let me go." After Annelotte left, Kelton also hurriedly walked out with the guards.
…
Regnar sat on the chair a little bored and drank another glass of water. After being taken away by the guards, he was locked in a basement. He had always been afraid of what the mercenary alliance would do to him, but Seeing them not moving for so long, Regnar also felt bored. Besides, the environment here is not bad, and there is water to drink!
In fact, it was not that the Mercenary Alliance did not punish Regnar, it was just because the severity of this incident had not yet been assessed, and it was not known what kind of punishment should be imposed on the young man who provoked the trouble.
It is not difficult to see that the mercenary alliance's punishment system is full of loopholes just from the fact that it only punishes those who strike first, but no matter what, some forms must be adopted.
If the person who was brought down was given a beating without asking any questions, the effect would be the same, but the person who was beaten would inevitably feel dissatisfied. Therefore, even if the punishment system of the Mercenary Alliance is simple, rough and loopholes, in order to prevent anyone from being dissatisfied, they still have to deal with it. The nature of each incident must be determined before making a decision.
Squeak.
The iron door of the basement has been opened, and the middle-aged man who came in was wearing a dark gray magic robe, and it was Kelton.
Kelton looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became: Tsk, tut, tut, this kid is extraordinary at first glance. If you look at his thin body, no one can find where he is hiding. He is a hidden errand. The truth couldn't be more appropriate. Look at those eyebrows again. He is indeed Alex’s son. He has exactly the same sinister eyebrows...
Although Kelton had never met Alex, he had a rough idea of this man in his mind after hearing so many rumors.
And when he saw Regner who had lost weight and had a slightly vulgar expression, Kelton instantly recognized that this guy was Alex's flesh and blood.
Regnar was so stared at by the mage in front of him that his punishment was to have a weird uncle stare at him until he had a nervous breakdown. Thinking of this, Regnar instantly felt that the mage used some mental attacks when looking at him. No wonder he felt a little uncomfortable. In fact, it was just him drinking a lot of water and holding his urine because he was bored.
"You can go." Kelton personally used the key to unlock the shackles on Regnar's hands and feet.
"Ah?" Regnar was stunned. Didn't he say that he would be severely punished? Why is this the end
"Come on, come on, there's nothing to be surprised about." Kelton deliberately scolded him with a straight face, then turned to the guard and said, "Take him out, and when others ask, just say it was my order, and don't explain anything else." .”
Seeing that Regnar was about to leave, Kelton hesitated for a moment before using another communication technique and said: "No matter who you meet, remember, I don't know anything!"
Regnar looked at Kelton with some confusion, and then nodded inexplicably.
