Chapter 69: Black Robe
There are all kinds of people gathered in the town centered on Winterburg. There are ordinary farmers who just hope they can plant more land, and businessmen coming and going. They lament the heavy tariffs as always, which will make
Their income has been reduced. Of course, there are also people who break the law, or villains. The law has no effect on them. As long as they don't offend the nobles in the castle, then they will be safe.
In addition to these people, there are naturally various guilds in the town of Winterburg. They are either doing normal business and activities, or they are hiding in dark corners and ditches to keep company with those smelly rats...
A man wearing a black robe, even covering his face so that he could not see clearly, appeared at the end of the stinking ditch. In front of him, several big men surrounded him, holding various weapons in their hands.
, the fierce scars on their faces seem to say that they are not simple characters.
They all have an unpleasant smell, which is pungent. After all, how can they be clean if they stay in ditches all year round?
But the black robe didn't look disgusted at all, and seemed to turn a blind eye to these situations, or it could be said that he had long been accustomed to such a place...
"Is this how you entertain your guests?" Hei Pao suddenly laughed, and his voice seemed to have been deliberately changed to sound hoarse.
"Hey, this place is not just for cats and dogs. I think you don't even know where this is?" A big man waved the big stick in his hand as if to intimidate.
"Haha, I want to see your leader, Teresa of the Poison Rose." The man in black robe turned a blind eye to their threats, as calm as if this was his home.
"Want to see Teresa?"
"Yes, I think we will reach a very happy business." The black robe squirmed slightly, looking a little strange, but the next moment he threw out a small bag of coins, and some skinny hands were exposed from the sleeves of the robe.
Under the light, it looks slightly pale and oozing.
Fortunately, this is a villain's guild, and the people here live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. No one will be afraid, at least they won't be afraid until their lives are truly threatened.
"Okay, I can take you to find Teresa." The villain tossed the money bag in his hand and smiled greedily when he heard the rustling sound inside. The real goods inside were indeed Natas.
, maybe it's just made of copper, but it's not that small.
"Hey Hannes, you can't keep this money for yourself." Before he was happy for a long time, several big men around him gathered around him and put their hands on his shoulders like good brothers.
Hannis shuddered and cursed in his heart, but he had to force a smile on his face.
"Of course, we will share the money equally." Hannis's heart was bleeding, but he knew that if he really dared to take it all for himself, his "brothers" would definitely let him know what a real villain is.
"I don't care how you divide the money, I care more about which one of you can take me to see Teresa of the Poison Rose right away." Black Robe was disdainful. Such a small amount of money has caused these villains to fight among themselves, and they don't know what they are doing.
Whether the task can be completed.
The villains looked at each other, and finally after some competition, the villain named Hannes walked through the twists and turns of the underground passage that was surrounded by smelly water and even had dead rat corpses floating in it from time to time.
There is an entrance that ordinary people cannot find.
After entering the entrance, the whole space suddenly opened up, and it seemed like it was another world.
The black robe was a little creepy. The villain's guild had developed to this point unknowingly. They had connected the underground together, forming a large area, no less than an arena.
"Here we are, if you go inside, you will find Teresa of the Poison Rose." Hannis pointed to a door, and then left without looking back, with an expression of fear on his face, which seemed to be
I don't want to see Teresa at all.
"Theresa of the Poison Rose..." the black robe murmured. Maybe the nobles in Winterburg have not heard of this name. Even if they have heard it, they will probably forget it soon, but in the underground world of Winterburg
Here, this name is simply a legend.
It is said that she brutally killed those who dared to oppose her at a young age. Life seemed not worth mentioning in her hands. As long as she was unhappy, she could let that person die.
The black robe took a deep breath and opened the door.
It's just that what's inside the door is different from the gloomy one he imagined. It's just an ordinary-looking room, and a woman is sweeping the floor.
The black robe swears that this woman is definitely a nobody. She wears long blue hair shawl, revealing some imaginative shirts and wears them casually, making her look extremely charming. The leather armor around her waist makes her body curves more beautiful.
Like the jewels adorning the crown.
"Excuse me, are you Teresa?" Perhaps I don't know since when, the title of black robe has included "invitation".
But even though he asked this, he felt that this was not Theresa. After all, although the beauty in front of him was gorgeous, she did not appear to have any murderous intent. She did not seem to be in this profession. What would be more suitable for her would be to return to the family and become the eldest daughter.
.
The woman didn't answer, but continued to clean the slightly messy table and chairs.
The black robe is a little disappointed. Is Theresa not here today? There is only such a maid left. Depending on the situation, she may even be deaf...
"That's all, just wait here for Teresa to come back." Black Robe sighed and lay down comfortably on the seat.
In fact, he really wanted to leave now. After all, he had gone through so much trouble to finally find this place, but in the end he didn't even see Teresa's face.
"I have business to see Teresa, where is she?" Black Robe's tone was a bit harsh, after all, he now felt as if he had been tricked.
But the next moment, he didn't dare to move, and there were a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, because a sharp dagger was already attached to his neck, and the "maid" didn't know when he was behind him.
"Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do with me?" Teresa's voice was cold, as if she would make the other person disappear forever if they disagreed with her.
"Are you Theresa?" Black Robe was horrified.
Teresa ignored him. She put down the dagger and walked to the seat, sitting down with her legs crossed. Her graceful figure and movements would definitely make the blood of most men boil.
But at this moment, the black robe didn't feel this way. He could have sworn that just now, it was the most terrifying aura he felt. The other party seemed to really intend to kill him just now. This was a lunatic who would kill people at the slightest disagreement.
"If you have any business, just tell me." Teresa closed her eyes slightly and asked casually.
"Kill someone."
"who?"
"Charle Chris!"
Theresa suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the black robe. The black robe felt locked, as if the rose in front of her eyes would pierce him with her thorns at the next moment.
The fact that Charles Criss is going to inherit the title of the old earl and become the new earl has caused quite a stir. It would be really unreasonable if the guilds under his territory have not heard of it.
"Who are you?" Teresa asked slowly.
"The Villain's Guild doesn't seem to have any rules about asking guests for their identity." Black Robe pretended to be relaxed.
"Kill the new earl? Haha, I hope you are not joking." Teresa sneered. This was simply a dream. Not to mention how noble the earl's status was and how many guards he had with him. After actually killing the earl,
, then I am afraid that there will be no place for her in heaven or on earth. Every noble will be deeply saddened by this kind of thing.
"Of course I'm not joking." The black robe's voice was low. Although her eyes were covered, Teresa could feel the other person's eyes.
"It might be better if I capture you and send you to the Count to receive the reward." Theresa sneered.
"You won't do this. I don't think Teresa of Blood Rose would be someone who would give clients away because of cowardice." Black Robe said calmly. In fact, he was a little panicked in his heart, although even if he was
Nothing would be revealed if he was caught. How could Ciel believe a villain's words, but being caught would most likely result in his death.
"Heh, I think no one in Winterburg...or even in the nearby counties would dare to take on such a business." Teresa turned the dagger in her hand.
"Others don't dare, but I believe Theresa of Blood Rose does."
"I can provide you with a large amount of money, which is more than all the business you have done before! And I can ensure that you leave Winterburg safely."
Money can make the world go round. Even Judas, didn't he betray Jesus just for thirteen gold coins? At least he firmly believed this.
"It seems that you have investigated me very clearly." Teresa licked her lips. Yes, she is a lawless person. Things that are extremely dangerous in the eyes of others have only one idea in her eyes, that is, they can
Is what she gets worth doing?
Heipao smiled, knowing that at this point he was already more than half successful.
"This is the deposit. This is where Charles will go in the future, and there won't be many guards around him at that time. That will be the best position and time for you to act." The black robe threw out a piece of paper and a
Bags of coins and paper are filled with various useful information.
Teresa did not look at the information, but weighed the coins, and the sound of the coins was very clear.
Teresa showed a faint smile, which hung on her face like a bright moon, making people feel refreshed by the spring breeze. I am afraid that no one would have thought that under such a smile, there would be a murderous demon.
She is in a good mood now, and she can feel that the money in her purse is full of ginatas, and there are a lot of them!
"Very good, I'll take this business."
"Then I wish you success."
As if he didn't want to stay here, the black robe immediately tightened his tight robe and left quickly after seeing Teresa take it.
"The glamorous nobles are still dirty under their skins..." Teresa continued to turn the dagger in her hand and whispered, which seemed to be her habit...
