Everyone took off their helmets and handed their weapons to the guards before entering the castle one after another. Of course, Xie Feng, who had the inventory function, was an exception. Generally, Xie Feng would not wear the helmet on his head all the time, and the weapons would be even more so.

It is always kept in the inventory.

Entering the castle, it was dark inside. Only the scattered candles hanging on the walls marked the outline of the lord's hall. The entire lord's hall seemed very quiet and deserted.

The leading cavalryman responsible for guiding the way said: "Everyone, please wait a moment, His Majesty will come out to receive you soon... You are so lucky. His Majesty usually does not receive people casually, let alone strangers." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Entering the castle. As soon as the door was closed, the empty lord's hall suddenly seemed darker.

Eric couldn't help but shuddered and said: "Damn, is this really the Lord's Hall in the castle? It's dark and deserted... Are you sure this isn't a prison?"

Xie Feng looked around the hall and said: "This is indeed the lord's hall. I came here with Jamara not long ago."

Comstock looked at the tightly closed windows on the surrounding walls and couldn't help but said: "Oh my God, why are you keeping the windows so closed? No wonder it's so dark and stuffy..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from deep in the hall: "Sharez faces the sea to the west and the endless desert to the east. If the east wind blows, it will roll up a large amount of yellow sand and pour into the castle, which will be really troublesome. And

If the west wind blows, the sea breeze will hurt the hair the most. So I simply closed the windows and let all the distinguished guests see the effect, haha..." This voice was from Charlotte, which made Xie Feng feel a deep chill.

the sound of.

I saw Charlotte walking out of the corridor deep in the hall, walking slowly in front of everyone, holding a small plate in her hand, with a lit candle standing on the plate. The weak candlelight attracted Charlotte

The reflection on his face was hazy and even more beautiful.

Charlotte smiled calmly and said: "I am the female king of the Kingdom of Swadia, Charlotte. I am really sorry for keeping all the distinguished guests waiting for so long." These words were very dignified and modest, without any trace of the airs of a king?

It was clearly like the hostess of an aristocratic family greeting guests.

When Charlotte appeared, Xie Feng immediately hidden his body behind the tall Comstock, intentionally or unintentionally, praying that Charlotte would not notice him.

In fact, it is not that Xie Feng has never thought that if he took out the assassin's dagger to launch a sneak attack on Charlotte at this moment, he would most likely succeed in revenge. But after all, the time is not right now, even if he successfully assassinates Charlotte,

The guards outside would not let him go. Even with Xie Feng's ability, it is not a problem to escape, but the companions who are following him are likely to die. Based on this, Xie Feng will not

Dare to do reckless and impulsive things.

After Eric heard this, he immediately saluted Charlotte and said, "Your Majesty is serious. With our status, it is already a great honor to be able to witness your majesty's majesty. Besides, your majesty did not keep us waiting too long."

Charlotte nodded, and then said to Eric: "Are you the leader of this caravan?"

Eric said: "It's the villain. My name is Eric."

Charlotte said: "It is said that among the products you plan to bring back to Roddock, there is a very special kind of bee?"

Eric could only say: "Yes, these bees are extremely rare and rare. Before I came to Salander, there were already customers ordering from me..."

"I'm just curious..." Before Eric could finish his excuse, Charlotte interrupted: "Since these bees are so rare and the honey they produce is so precious, why did the original owner keep them?"

Sell ​​it? I don’t think anyone would sell a hen that lays golden eggs, right? It is said that the original owner of the bee is also in your team?" As he said that, he looked at everyone and noticed that Comstor

Ke frowned slightly when someone seemed to be hiding behind him, but soon returned to normal.

This is when Cecilia said: "Well...it's me..."

Charlotte looked down at the petite and cute girl in front of her who was wearing a white dress, smiled, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot to tell everyone

It's so rude... Everyone, please feel free to sit down." With that said, Charlotte came to a conference table in the center of the hall, holding a candle, and stood next to the host's seat, waiting for everyone to take their seats.

.

"Oops!" Xie Feng said in his heart: "After we sit down, we can't find a place to hide." Seeing Comstock in front of him begin to move, Xie Feng quickly took out the Shadow Soul Cloak from the inventory and put it on

He put himself on his body, pulled the hood at the back to cover his head, and then calmly found the farthest seat to sit down.

In the process of finding a position, Xie Feng felt a very sharp gaze staring at him every time he took a step. Obviously, this gaze came from Charlotte. It seemed that his suspicious behavior had attracted the attention of this shrewd person.

The woman was suspicious.

After Charlotte waited for everyone to sit down, she also sat down. Whether intentionally or not, Charlotte seemed to place the candle in her hand close to Xie Feng.

Charlotte's face was still very normal, and she didn't seem to pay any attention to Xie Feng, a "suspicious" person. Although the candle looked in the direction of Xie Feng, her eyes changed after everyone sat down.

Xie Feng didn't look here anymore, which made Xie Feng feel a little relieved.

Due to the personally set identity, sitting on the right side of Charlotte is Eric, the "leader" of this "caravan". Although Cecilia is not a member of this "caravan",

But for the "caravan", he was a VIP after all, so he sat on Charlotte's left. Behind Eric were Comstock, Dante, etc. who were "friends" and "companions".

After Cecilia, it was Jamala and others who were part of the "mercenary group". Xie Feng, on the other hand, sat in the last position on Charlotte's left, making a guest appearance as a "freelance mercenary".

members of the Corps.

Charlotte looked at everyone sitting down in an orderly manner and said with a smile: "It seems that you are doing the right thing when sitting down. I'm really sorry, I always thought that caravans and mercenaries were ordinary people who had not received much etiquette education.

People, you have really made me change my view."

Eric said: "To be honest, I am a Rhodok noble. Due to the decline of my family, I can only travel around the mainland alone and start business, hoping to revive the family with my own hands."

Rick simply told the truth about his life experience, but also mixed the truth and falsehood. This would not arouse suspicion and increase the other party's trust in him.

Charlotte nodded and said: "Then I wish you success..." After saying that, she turned to Cecilia and said: "You are the original owner of those magical bees, right? What is your name?"

Cecilia said tremblingly: "I...my name is Cecilia..."

Charlotte smiled and said: "Miss Cecilia, can you tell me why you sold all those bees?"

Cecilia has never thought of selling bees, so how could she possibly think of a reason to sell bees at once? Huh? Selling bees?

Cecilia immediately recalled the time when Xie Feng encouraged her to sell some honey to subsidize the family. So she immediately said: "Because the weather in Salander is getting hotter and hotter. In the desert of Salander, it is almost

There were no flowers to be found. The bees had nothing to eat and had to rely on me to feed them sugar water every day. The money for sugar water was an issue, and my own life was not good, so..."

Charlotte asked: "Then you can just sell the honey, why do you want to sell the bees directly? Since the honey has such miraculous effects, I believe there will be no worries about not being able to sell it. And in this war-torn era, there are so many medicines.

No, if you sell your honey, it will definitely be expensive. If you really do this, I'm afraid your life will be more nourishing than that of a lord who owns a castle? As I said before, no one will sell raw gold.

Egg hen. Your behavior makes me very curious, can you tell me why?"

Cecilia really didn't know how to answer now.

At this critical moment, Dante, who had been silent all this time, said: "Your Majesty, you may not know something. In addition to being a beekeeper, Miss Cecilia is also a doctor.

Rand has quite a reputation. I believe you can ask anyone in Dukuba about this. The reason why Miss Cecilia is famous is not only for her own medical skills, but also for these special honeys.

The contribution is also indispensable. A doctor is a parent. Miss Cecilia has always been excellent in medical skills, and her medical ethics is also very admirable. No matter how complicated the condition of the patients she has treated, she almost only charges a small medical fee.

From this we can see what kind of doctor Miss Cecilia is. Now, many people on the continent of Calradia are suffering from injuries every day. How can the kind-hearted Miss Cecilia turn a blind eye to this?

?If you only sell honey, it will indeed make Miss Cecilia rich immediately, but for patients across the continent, the income will be very small. And as the transportation section lengthens, the price of these honeys will continue to increase.

, in the end, those poor patients still cannot be taken care of. But what if the bees are sold directly? In every country, a production point for producing this kind of special honey is established, so that those poor patients can’t be taken care of.

People also have hope of recovery! This shows how great Miss Cecilia is! And Rodok is the first stop for Miss Cecilia to establish a honey production point."

What Dante said was reasonable and reasonable, and it was half true and false. If everyone hadn't already known the inside story, they might have been deceived. In everyone's mind, Cecilia was an innocent and kind-hearted little doctor.

Immortal, even if Cecilia really did such a move, I believe no one would doubt her.

Charlotte looked at Dante with a smile and asked, "Who are you?"

When Dante heard this, he immediately took off his lute from his back, played it a few times, and said with a smile: "Dante is a troubadour. He is an acquaintance of Eric and knows that he is reviving the family.

And became a traveling businessman. By coincidence, when I was traveling to Dukuba in Salander, I met Miss Cecilia and knew that she hoped to sell her bees to the whole continent, so I immediately talked to Ai

Rick contacted me. How can I not do something that can benefit both parties and benefit the people of the whole continent? Of course, Eric has to pay me a huge agency fee."

As he said that, he laughed seriously.

Eric also gave Dante a very cooperative and awkward look.

But Charlotte seemed to be aware of the contradiction between the messages expressed by Dante and Cecilia, and said with a smile: "Miss Cecilia said she sold bees because she had no money. But Mr. Dante said

It means that Miss Cecilia is doing it to benefit the people... Could it be that if Miss Cecilia was not short of money for the time being, she wouldn't think of selling bees? Haha..." As she said that, she laughed. She laughed.

It was so natural and there seemed to be no doubt at all.

Dante's mind was spinning very fast, and he smiled and said, "This is actually true."

"Oh?" Charlotte suddenly became interested.

Dante asked Charlotte: "Your Majesty, how old do you think Miss Cecilia is?"

Charlotte looked Cecilia up and down, then asked tentatively: "Fifteen?"

Dante smiled and said: "Actually, she is already nineteen years old. This child's mind is as you guessed from her appearance, she is very innocent. Firstly, her life is indeed relatively poor, and secondly, she also hopes that the whole continent

The patients received good care. But she couldn't solve the two problems with the same method. After getting familiar with her, I reminded her, 'Why don't you sell some of your bees?

?’ She was enlightened and expressed her willingness to sell her bees.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at Dante's wit and thought: I have already said that, so there should be no problem.

In fact, no one thought that if they did not use the excuse of "traveling caravan" to pass the soldiers' inquiries from the beginning, there would be no need to explain so much later.

The beginning of a lie needs to be ended with countless lies. This is the situation.

Charlotte smiled and nodded, and then suddenly said: "Compared to this, there is actually something I care more about."

Eric hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

Charlotte reached for her waist and whipped it, and a leather whip suddenly appeared in her hand.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Charlotte raised her hand, and the whip in her hand shot towards Xie Feng like an agile snake.

What a quick whip!

Xie Feng, who had been lowering his head in an attempt to make Charlotte forget his presence, realized that Charlotte's whip was swinging towards him, and his body had no time to react!

"Snapped!"

The hood on Xie Feng's head was turned over by the whip, and his face was directly exposed.

"clatter."

An object was thrown on the table in front of Xie Feng, which was the candle standing on the saucer.
Chapter completed!
