Looking at the two people in the living room, Galt felt his blood vessels pulsing and his temples hurting badly.
If there is anyone that Galt least wants to see in Wenning District, the black-robed mage ranks first and the police officer ranks second.
If the appearance of the black-robed mage represents an irresistible concession, then the appearance of the Sheriff represents a compromise after bargaining. The attitude of the latter will be slightly better than that of the former, but judging from the results, everyone will suffer.
Raven's Golden Lock.
"Well, your honorable and busy Sheriff, you came to my little brothel today, you don't want to have sex with my girls, do you?"
Seeing Cromwell enter the VIP room, Galt stood up and opened his hands to welcome him, but the words in his mouth showed his displeasure at this time.
"As the third commander of the Golden Lock of Crows, Lord Galt, you are really looking down on me with such compliments..." As soon as Cromwell entered the room, he took off the hat on his head and put it on his chest.
He bent down to Galt to show respect, and then got straight to the point and got straight to the point: "Actually, I came here today because of some things that I want to trouble everyone in the Golden Lock of Crow."
The corner of Galt's mouth twitched inconspicuously. This guy was still so rude when he spoke, but his attitude of asking for help was so low, it was as difficult to deal with as ever...
However, when he saw the girl behind the Sheriff, Galt smiled slightly and found a way to change the subject: "Oh, Lord Cromwell, I finally understand why you always treated me like a stranger in my store every time you came here.
Good girls, don’t show off, why don’t you introduce the beautiful and noble Miss Sheriff behind you?”
Cromwell turned his head and saw that the girl was not angered by Galte's simple teasing. Her face was still as dark as water, and she was staring at the wall behind Galte. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.
After saying this, he turned his attention to Galt again: "Your Excellency, you are joking again. Let me introduce you, this is my adjutant, Vigil Nochakin."
"Tsk... Alpine Edelweiss... A big shot really came here today." Galt smacked his tongue, "I didn't expect that a flower-crowned nobleman would deign to come to my little whorehouse.
when."
"Your Excellency Galt, please stop teasing me about my bloodline." This was the first time Weijier spoke after entering the door. Her tone was solemn and fearless, and her slender girlish voice was even more powerful because of her uprightness, "In
In the academy, the first lesson we learned was that 'blood does not mean everything'. I am just an ordinary assistant security officer here now. In terms of status, I do not need your special attention, so it is difficult for you to
Don’t you want to tell me that the leaders of the Golden Lock of Crow are actually very frivolous people?”
At the end of the sentence, the girl couldn't help but retorted.
Interesting guy, Galt didn't feel embarrassed at all. He looked calmly: "Ah, you are a frivolous guy. When facing a cute and beautiful woman, becoming frivolous is the best way for a man with a normal mentality to treat that girl.
What a compliment."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that the girl finally started to waver, Cromwell smiled and helped her out, "Lord Galt, please stop bullying my adjutant."
"Actually, I think you should already know the purpose of my visit today -" Cromwell once again turned the conversation back to the topic. However, just when he wanted to continue speaking at once, a slight sound suddenly sounded in the room.
knock on the door.
Galt narrowed his eyes and glanced at Cromwell with a half-smile: "Please come in!"
.
Speaking of which, Su Zuo had seen the three people in the room from a distance, but this was the first time for him to have such close contact.
Galt Kuro, one of the three commanders of the Golden Lock of Crows, is a black-haired young man of medium height - at least on the surface he is a handsome young man, but as far as Su Zuo knows, this guy is half of the Immortal blood, so
His actual age must be in his 30s at least. The iconic all-black tunic on his body shimmered with a raven-like black luster. At this time, he was leaning on the sofa without wearing his black cloak, playing with it in his hands.
Black crystal, and what was more uncertain than the black crystal in his hand were his black pupils.
To put it simply, the impression given to Su Zuo is that of a crow-like man.
Speaking of which, Galt and Su Zuo look quite similar, both have black hair and black eyes. However, Galt's hair is slightly curled, not as smooth and straight as Su Zuo's.
The captain of the police squadron seems to be called Cromwell or something. Su Zuo is not clear about his surname, but he is the most famous among the police officers in Wenning District, not only because of his pure white suit.
The officer's uniform is more showy than other police officers, but he said that Su Zuo had seen him take action.
Su Zuo estimated that among the three people present, this powerful middle-aged man was probably the only one who dared to confront the black robe head-on.
As for the last girl who was staring at him with an angry look (probably not directed at him), Su Zuo was not sure. It seemed that she was the Sheriff who had just arrived recently. The reason why he left an impression on her was simply
It's because the long golden-red hair and the beautiful long ponytail are really conspicuous among the Nanling people who generally have dull hair.
In addition to her golden-red hair and dazzling pure golden eyes, the girl's appearance is also very beautiful. Her delicate face is comparable to Nolan Ji'er's top brand Qiluo without a single flaw, and her snow-white skin has a faint rosiness.
, her straight and plump nose bridge, her pretty lips exuding a natural cherry-colored luster, and her graceful and graceful figure even though she is wrapped in a straight police officer's uniform, make her no matter where she is walking in a gathering of poor people.
Whether in Wenning District or in Youlie District where nobles gather, they will all stand out from the crowd.
If Qiluo's beauty is a kind of artificially delicate but not artificial style, then what is reflected from the girl is a kind of upright and natural elegance.
At this time, being stared at by these three people invariably, Su Zuo always felt uncomfortable in his heart, especially if there was something wrong in his heart.
However, after calming down, Su Zuo also denied the possibility that the other party came specifically for him and Lang Xue. After all, it was just a coincidence that he appeared here. To be honest, he had only known Lang Xue for less than a week, even if
His magical powers are as vast as the crow's golden lock, so it's impossible to connect him with Lang Xue in such a short period of time, right?
The varying degrees of surprise on the expressions of the three people made Su Zuo even more relieved.
Galt frowned inconspicuously. He was probably surprised. He asked Midel to send a waiter, but such a young child came.
Cromwell's expression was very calm, but the way he looked at Su Zuo up and down showed that he was actually a little surprised.
And the girl sheriff had the biggest reaction.
"Lord Galt, please explain!" The girl's face changed. "I have tolerated other things, but the laws of the empire clearly stipulate that even in Nanling, enslaving or selling children under the age of ten is not allowed.
Child, may I think that you are blatantly provoking our Sheriff, who represents the empire in enforcing the law?"
Suzo saw that Galt's eyebrows suddenly knitted up, and Cromwell's smile suddenly twisted.
"Weijieer, don't be so rude to Lord Galt." Obviously, Cromwell is a sensible person. Since the empire has opened up the slave trade in Nanling, some violations are inevitable, but
In order to save the face of the empire and the Corolla nobles, he asked Galt seriously, "I don't know how you plan to explain this, Lord Galt."
In addition to explicitly prohibiting the sale and use of children, the imperial laws did not prohibit the employment of child labor. Judging from Suzo's freedom of movement, Cromwell seemed to think that he was in the latter situation, so he sent Galt away as a matter of course.
Down a flight of stairs.
The old slippery man sent Galt down the steps, but the problem was that Galt couldn't get down at all.
After rubbing his brow vigorously, Galt asked the question to Su Zuo: "Boy, explain yourself."
Looking at the two sheriffs staring at him, Su Zuo immediately realized that this was his best chance to escape from the clutches of the Golden Lock of Crow.
Su Zuo pretended to cough, and looked at the girl seriously: "Your Majesty the Sheriff, you are mistaken. I am a homeless orphan, and it was Lord Galt who took care of me in Nolanji.
Only then can I have a place to sleep and food to eat, so I voluntarily do what I can for Nolan Ji'er, who adopted me, and I am not a child slave or any other status."
Perfect, secretly giving full marks to the answer just now, Su Zuo looked calmly between the three people's different eyes, and put the drink in the plate on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"...Okay...I was rude..." After calming down, the girl named Weijier apologized to Galt, "I'm sorry, Mr. Galt, it was me who was rude and rash.
I connected this little incident with your organization’s human trafficking activities.”
Galt looked back at Su Zuo with a look of surprise. In response to Wei Jier's apology, he pretended to laugh cheerfully: "Miss Wei Jier, although we, the Golden Lock of Crow, are engaged in human trafficking, we are
Everything is done in accordance with the laws of the empire, which are never exceeded."
Whether there has been any overstep or not is clear to everyone present, but this kind of thing has not yet been brought to the surface.
A bunch of old foxes... Su Zuo muttered to himself, put down the drinks on his plate and wanted to leave, but he was suddenly stopped by Galt.
"Boy, if I remember correctly, your name is Ivan, right? Go and take out the bottle of 374-year-old Setour Red Rose from my cupboard. It's on the right side of the penultimate row. If you can't reach it,
Just move the stool yourself."
After giving Suzo some gesticulating orders, Galt turned to look at Cromwell and finally became serious. He took the initiative to bring up the topic again: "Let's put aside any unnecessary words for now, Your Excellency Cromwell.
According to your style, the reason why you came to my place today can only be because of the murder case this morning."
"The deceased was a member of our Crow's Golden Chain, so this seems to have given you an illusion, Mr. Cromwell - the high murder rate in Wenning District that you have been having a headache seems to have finally made a good breakthrough.

[Corolla Nobles]: The sixty noble bloodlines that existed when the empire was first founded are different from the lower-level nobles who were conferred after the founding of the country. They all use flowering plants as their family emblems. Among them, the Silver Rose family is the head of the Corolla Nobles.
It should be noted that although the Shakala family mentioned above is also an upper-class noble, they are not Corolla nobles, but [Emperor-Electors].
