Chapter 252 Superior
Han Shuo was also in a happy mood when he heard that he jumped two levels again, and hurriedly handed over the iron plate that symbolizes his status to Candida.
The Dark Curtain is an extremely large organization, mastering all kinds of resources of the empire. As the Big Three, the Candida three are even more powerful than one person, and possess power that no one can underestimate. With the advancement of status, the rights to enjoy will also increase, and you can use the convenience of your position to check some unknown latest information.
Candida took Han Shuo's iron plate, couldn't hide her excitement and returned to her seat, and helped Han Shuo change the iron plate that symbolized his status to his position. After he handed it back to Han Shuo, the star pattern behind the iron plate disappeared , replaced by four crooked little moons.
"Thank you Lord Candida!" Han Shuo glanced at it, put the iron plate into the space ring, and thanked him with a smile.
After waving his hand, the weird smile on Candida's face didn't fade, and he said in a great mood: "Don't thank me, this is the reward you deserve, you are really good, you have arrived in April in less than a year, It's just a miracle."
"That's because I'm lucky, and I was promoted by an adult!" Han Shuo answered modestly without being arrogant or impetuous.
"Okay, okay, don't flatter your kid!" Candida scolded with a smile, then frowned, and watched: "How did you get this notebook, I want to know all the details."
Knowing that Candida would interrogate him carefully, Han Shuo had already thought up his speech before coming here, and gave a rough description of the situation in the forbidden land, what should be concealed and what should be revealed clearly, and the forbidden land should confine the power The lifting of the attack was all pushed to the Cyclops and the golden dragon, saying that he was very lucky. After the two huge creatures left, they entered the forbidden land and obtained the notebook from the tombstone.
After Han Shuo finished speaking, Candida looked surprised and murmured: "It's actually a taboo place. This strange place that no one can get out of is legendary. It's incredible that it has lost the power of confinement. Could it be that? Al Is it really weird that God Merrick died in the Forbidden Land?"
"That area. I observed it carefully. After the two super-order creatures left, there was nothing else in the entire area except for a tombstone. So, I think even if you send someone to investigate this matter, I'm afraid I can't find anything." When leaving the forbidden land, Han Shuo erased the traces left behind. Even if Candida sent someone there, I'm afraid they won't find anything.
"That's it!" Candida said softly, and continued: "However, we still need to send someone over to look at it. Anything about Almeric Fashen must not be handled carelessly, and I think His Majesty will do the same. made."
"Whatever you want, but I won't go there anyway, because I just came back from there and searched it carefully when I came back.
And found nothing! "Han Shuo lazily expressed that he was not interested in this task, and spread his hands to signal me not to do it.
"This is your right, if you don't want me to find someone else!" Candida gave Han Shuo a blank look, but she didn't blame Han Shuo. She looked at Han Shuo in a daze and said, "By the way, you What are you doing in the depths of the dark forest? That place is not where normal people should stay!"
"Hey, it's my right not to answer your question, right?" Han Shuo understood that the Dark Mantle organization should not interfere with members' private affairs, so he said with a rogue smile.
After glaring at Han Shuo, Candida waved her hands helplessly, and said, "Forget it. You've already brought the things back anyway. I don't care about your private affairs. This time, you hand over this notebook to me. In public, you have made a great contribution. In private, I owe you a big favor."
"That's a good relationship!" Han Shuo laughed and asked, "Well, well, I have come back to report now. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I still have my own matters to deal with!"
"Wait!" Candida stopped, and then murmured: "I originally prepared a mission site for you, but you can come back alive from the depths of the dark forest, and quickly advance to the senior magician of the undead department. Those simple tasks don't seem to be suitable anymore.
Well, I have three more difficult tasks here. The first one is to go to Balthazar City to assassinate Angela's spy. This spy has an official status in Balthazar City, and everything he does seems legal, so You can only assassinate him, so as not to leave a scourge.
The second task is to go to Bimsen City in the north of the empire. It is said that a large amount of weapons have been hoarded in a barren hill around Bimsen City, and it is necessary to send someone to investigate. The third task is to protect a man, whom you also know, Prince Lawrence.
Uh, although he has not been officially recognized, but I think you already know his identity. The third mission was given by His Majesty the King himself. Although the manpower has been arranged, the King still thinks it is not enough. If you are interested It is also possible to get involved. "
After thinking about it for a while, Han Shuo felt that Phoebe's side was a bit dangerous at the moment. He had just returned to the empire this time, and many things had not been dealt with. He couldn't leave the empire immediately, so he said, "Well, I'll choose the third mission. , anyway, I am fairly familiar with Lawrence, so protecting him can serve multiple purposes!"
"Then it's up to you, but Lawrence has a special status. You have to be careful with yourself, so as not to cause unnecessary disasters!" Candida had already reminded Han Shuo to properly handle the relationship with Lawrence. This time, Han Shuo took over Remind me again during the mission, explaining that the struggle for power among the several princes should be even more intense.
"Don't worry, I know it well!" Han Shuo nodded to express his understanding, then hesitated, and asked, "Lord Candida, how about Duke Ashburn?"
Candida was taken aback, looked at Han Shuo suspiciously, and then asked: "What's the matter, is he going to recruit you?" Shaking his head, Han Shuo said in a deep voice, "No, I think I offended him, I guess he won't let me go."
Shocked, Candida said with a gloomy face, "The Grand Duke Ashburn is the Minister of State Affairs of the Empire, his sister is the Empress of the Empire, and he is the uncle of the eldest Prince Charles. This man must be punished for his cruel methods. He has kept a large number of dead soldiers in captivity, relying on the power in his hands and the secret support of the queen, countless political enemies have died in his hands, you must be careful when you offend him."
"Are you afraid of him?" Han Shuo asked suddenly after being silent for a while.
Glancing at Han Shuo, Candida said, "I'm not afraid of him, but I don't want to provoke him easily. You also know that our dark curtain is the king's black hand, and everything we do represents His Majesty the king. Especially the three of us The five day envoys are directly responsible to His Majesty the King.
When His Majesty the King is alive, no one can do anything to us, even he, Ashburn, must be careful not to have anything fall into our hands. However, once the current His Majesty the King is gone, there will be a change of power at that time, if the power in our three five-day envoys is lifted by the new king. Then he won't have to worry about us, do you understand? "
Nodding his head, Han Shuo said in a deep voice, "I understand. Alright, I'm going to find Lawrence!"
As soon as the words fell, Han Shuo went straight outside, and when Han Shuo was about to leave, Candida suddenly said: "You are from my country, and you are now the April envoy, even if you are Ashburn. If you want to deal with you, you have to weigh it. Hehe, for the sake of your Almeric manuscript, I will help you at a critical time!"
"Thank you!" Han Shuo turned his head and sincerely thanked him before leaving Candida's room.
Leaving Mount Aldas with the teleportation array, Han Shuo went to the home of the Minister of Finance, Ibrahimovic, intending to probe Lawrence's mouth and see what was going on with him.
"My name is Brian. I'm here to find Lawrence, please inform me." When he arrived at the door of Lawrence's house, Han Shuo smiled at the guard.
Han Shuo has long understood the truth that people need clothes. He is wearing a well-tailored blue warrior uniform with a few broken gemstones on the neckline. Looks competent. Complemented by the confident smile on Han Shuo's face, he looked extraordinary.
Generally, dogs look down on people with low guards. As soon as they found out that the person who came was looking good, they didn't dare to make things difficult, so when Han Shuo finished speaking, one of them respectfully said "please wait a moment", and walked quickly inside.
Not long after, Lawrence walked out in person. Before reaching Han Shuo, he laughed heartily and said, "You are finally back. I have been looking for you in the Undead Department several times."
Behind Lawrence, followed a few unfamiliar faces, each with a calm and extraordinary demeanor, obviously a master with unique skills. It seemed that what Candida said was right, and Lawrence was indeed cautious enough to be safe.
"Okay, there should be nothing to do in broad daylight, so don't follow me." After walking out from the inside, Lawrence turned around and said, striding towards Han Shuo, and hugged Han Shuo warmly. Said: "Why did you think of looking for me?"
"Uh, I didn't intend to come to you, but I had to come because of the mission!" Han Shuo was honest, looking at Lawrence with a wry smile and explaining.
Lawrence was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "So it's like this, but it doesn't matter, it's fine if you can come anyway."
"Let's go, leave here with me, let's find a place to have a good chat." Lawrence pulled Han Shuo familiarly, and walked straight to a carriage parked at the door.
Seeing Lawrence approaching, the lazy groom immediately regained his energy, and quickly opened the carriage sideways to let Lawrence enter. The strange masters who followed around dispersed one by one, and followed Lawrence blatantly or concealedly. They should all be careful to protect Lawrence's safety.
"Go to Beifang Rose Garden!" Lawrence ordered the groom as soon as he got into the carriage and sat down.
"Where is where?" Han Shuo was almost dragged by Lawrence, got into the carriage, and couldn't help asking after the carriage drove out.
"Hey, you'll know the place when you get there. Don't worry about it, tell me where you've been after we separated?" Lawrence asked Han Shuo with a secretive smile.
"It's nothing, I just stayed in the Sunshine Valley for a while, and went to the Dark Forest to hunt and kill a few monsters." Han Shuo smiled slightly, concealing everything, and replied easily.
"It can't be that simple, I heard Junior Sister Phoebe say that you are in Sunshine Valley, but you have done many amazing things! Hehe, you guys made such a big commotion in the Rainbow Scythe Mercenary Group, when I was really so ignorant Do you?" Lawrence looked like you don't think of me as a brother, squinting and curling his lips.
"Hehe, it's really nothing. Speaking of your junior sister, Phoebe, you are a bit uninteresting as a senior. Phoebe's business was bullied, and you didn't help her at all?" Han Shuo raised his brows. , Blame Lawrence for being anti-client.
As soon as these words came out, Lawrence was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Han Shuo with a puzzled frown, "What's going on?"
Staring carefully at Lawrence for a few moments, Han Shuo hesitated for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You don't know?"
"My little junior sister doesn't like to owe people favors, and I don't want to trouble others with anything. I know her bad temper, but I really don't know what's going on." Lauren said frankly.
"Well, the Cameron Chamber of Commerce wants to annex the Buster Firm. Cameron seems to be under the protection of the Duke of Ashburn, and almost took Phoebe away from the Booth Merchant." Han Shuo's expression changed. Cold, said with a gloomy face.
In a fit of rage, Lawrence slapped the handle of the carriage and snorted coldly, "Ashbourne really spared no effort for Charles. This kind of behavior is really bad."
After a pause, Lawrence sighed, "It's true Phoebe. I can help with this kind of thing, but she doesn't talk to me. If you didn't tell me, she would have been annexed by Cameron's firm." .”
Through the information from the dark screen, Han Shuo has already roughly understood some of Lawrence's strength. He knows that Lawrence and he went to Valen City last time. He became the head of the new Griffin Legion.
In addition, Lawrence has won the favor of His Majesty the King. If he can be recognized as a prince in a legitimate manner, he really has the hope of becoming a king.
"Bryan, you offended Ashburn, it seems that it is difficult for us not to become good friends." Lawrence looked deeply at Han Shuo, and said, "I have a good position in my hand, if you want, I can help you and let you quickly rise to the top of the army, this does not conflict with your identity in the dark curtain, what do you think?"
