Chapter 3 Sissel’s Twin Pearls

Chapter 3 Sissel’s Twin Pearls

After lunch, I sat there all afternoon. Fei Fei nodded and dozed off. He sat behind the desk in the lobby of the Underwriters Association and didn’t know what he was dreaming about.

Jack was lying on the table drooling and snoring loudly.

I could vaguely hear the sound of metal hitting the bluestone floor from far to near.

Fei Fei opened his eyes, and the sunlight coming in from the skylight looked colorful.

"Hey, stop sleeping, you thief."

Thief?

The girl said to me, you are a thief, stealing. What are you doing?

Cecil Lucy or Miss Cecil Ruth?

In addition to the famous wine estate, the Barony of Sissel is most famous for the treasure of Sissel, the apple of the baron's eye, Miss Sissel Ruth and Miss Sissel Lucy.

The idea of ​​the God of Destiny is very wonderful. The lucky end is often connected to misfortune, and misfortune often turns into good things.

At their 15th birthday party, one of these territorial jewels fell into a deep sleep, while the other became crazy.

This made King Olanto, who had planned to arrange a blind date banquet for several princes, reluctantly gave up the idea.

Fei Fei's ex also blamed himself deeply, thinking that everything was his fault, and Fei Fei also recalled that birthday party. He just secretly took a small piece of cake, and was indeed considered a thief by Sissel Ruth.

"Hello, distinguished treasure and pearl of Sissel, Miss Sissel Ruth, what can I do for you?" Feifan did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly came forward and leaned forward to ask.

The girl in front of her wore a pair of burgundy calfskin riding boots, with a red ribbon tied above the spurs at her ankles. Black stockings, a pair of dark gray knee-length culottes suitable for horseback riding, and her slender legs made her eyes wide open.

The top is a small black coat with folded breasts. The sleeves of the coat are embroidered with a circle of golden sunflowers. On the left chest is the emblem of the Sissel family: an upright two-handed sword inserted in the devil's head.

The delicate and small facial features are very well-proportioned, and the two big eyes are like sapphires inlaid in the deep night sky.

"Please call me Ms. Sissel Lucy. I am about to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. Also, put away your greedy devil eyes."

Miss Sissel's fiery red hair flowed without wind, which put great pressure on Feifan.

"Typical split personality!"

Later, Fei Fei, who went to public school, knew that Miss Ruth was not crazy, but had awakened the power of blood.

"Berserker", isn't this a berserk lolita?

Seeing Fei Fei, who was no longer staring at her, lowering his head, Ruth explained her purpose: "My domestic helper is pregnant, and I need to deposit public school insurance for the child. Come out with the contract!"

"Oh, wait a minute, how many do you need?"

Miss Mingzhu clapped her hands, and eight pot-bellied maids walked in one after another outside the association's gate. This coke spoiled the extraordinary insurance company.

I got 8 insurance contracts, I didn’t expect luck to come so quickly!

"Chenghui, 800 yuan!"

"Oh no, 800 dinars!"

Feifan quickly spread out the 8 insurance contracts on the table, and the 8 maids pricked their fingers with silver needles in sequence. Blood dripped on the blank spaces of the contracts. When the contract was established, the 8-rod scale appeared in the air and then disappeared.

"That's it, ladies and gentlemen."

"Praise God"

"Praise God"

The eight maids from the baron's family neatly drew circles on their chests with their right hands, and then stopped their index and middle fingers in the middle of their foreheads. After reciting a chant, they filed out again.

"Believers of the God of Light".

"You're gone, stop looking." Fei Fei, who had come back to his senses, looked at the hands dangling in front of him and was startled.

"When did you wake up?" Feifan asked.

"That's when Miss Ruth said you had devil's eyes. Were you stupid? What's so good about a madman?"

If Feifan hadn't known that his old family had schizophrenia and that his new family had a fighting profession called "Berserker", he would have given Jack a good beating.

"Did your aesthetic taste go into your big belly with the black bread at noon?"

Has Padre Ladonna not come out of the crypt yet? I've been there all afternoon, and I told us not to disturb him so we could just leave him alone and take a look at my trophies.

Eight insurance contracts are quietly spread out on the table, just a small piece of paper. Will these eight pregnant women come to get the insurance money back in 15 years? Or the children of these 8 people.

With this money, perhaps these eight families no longer have to live at the bottom.

If children from commoner families are healthy and beautiful before the age of 15, they can be taken into the baron's home and serve as companions for the children of the baron. They can enter public schools organized by the baron at the age of 15.

After three years, if you have excellent grades, you can apply to apply for college in the duchy. Then you can study abroad for another three years until you return to your hometown to serve the nobles of the territory.

After Fei Fei graduated from public school at the age of 17, his father, Cordo Cossai, spent 5 gold coins to become a trainee insurance officer at the Underwriters Association.

After all, most of the divine servants of major churches have the opportunity to be canonized as nobles.

Of course, except for the Insurance Association, which serves God, there is also the dinar. After all, this is the public opinion of the world.

Directly opposite the corner of the gate is diagonally opposite the Sissel Adventurer's House.

The adventurer's home is the tavern. On the mainland, including the smallest village or the largest tribe, you can have no blacksmith shop or major church branches, but you absolutely cannot have no tavern.

Think about the hot summer, cool and refreshing rye beer, the cold winter, the clear and hot rum.

These can only be enjoyed in a tavern.

Red wine is wine, and only nobles can enjoy it. Common people can only use grape juice to feel the pride of the nobles.

There was a table by the window of the tavern. If Fei Fei was here, he would definitely recognize the two people as the fat one and the thin one who claimed to be material dealers in the territory in the morning.

"Boss Gulie, why didn't you let me continue to persuade that young guy this morning?" The fat man asked the thin man opposite him while taking a sip of rye beer.

"What do you know? Stupid Francis, won't too much entanglement make people suspicious?"

"There is a saying in my hometown, too many words are to remind your enemies to be more careful."

The thin man Gu Lie looked like he was preaching.

Seeing that Gu Lie didn't speak, Fat Francis also closed his mouth and sipped his rye beer.

The sun was only a ray of setting sun on the edge of the sky, and darkness was about to fall in Sissel Territory.

Gu Lie is a thief, to be precise, a junior thief.

Walking in the darkness all year round made Gu Lie's fair face look even paler.

The thin cheeks and a medium-deep scar made Gu Lie look a bit cold, but the eyes that moved back and forth made him a little shrewd.

Gulie did not have an advanced thief skill book, so he could only use some simple tricks commonly used by junior thieves to disguise and steal.

But as a thief, even a junior thief, secret lock-picking skills and nimble fingers are two necessary conditions for the thief profession.

"Start at midnight and enter the soul at once."

"Boss Gulie, do you really not want to take a sip of rye beer? After all, we haven't eaten anything all day?"

"Francis, remember, wine will numb your brain, cover your eyes, and imprison your hands. This is a taboo thing for us thieves."

Francis nodded thoughtfully, looked at the remaining half glass of rye beer, and was about to pour it away.

"Oh, Francis, what are you doing? Forget it, give it to me, I'd better take a sip, I'm thirsty!"

The stolen rye beer was accidentally spilled on the table, the bubbles in the wine burst, and the smell of rye bread mixed with swill entered Francis's nostrils.

The unknown group of thieves they joined was only nine people in number. When they robbed a noble tomb in Sissel, they encountered a curse left by the owner of the tomb when he left. Most of them were killed or injured.

Captain Backkom is a junior thief, but he has almost the strength of an intermediate thief.

The point is that before this operation, the group leader Bacon had secretly visited the Underwriters Association.

As for the reason, Gulie believed that Captain Backkom felt the danger of this operation and made preparations in advance.

Captain Backkom has a wife and a son, so the purpose of going to the Underwriters Association is clear.

What can you leave for your wife and son?

Gu Lie didn't have much desire for gold coins and gems. On the contrary, Captain Backkom still took good care of him and even saved Gu Lie's life.

"Captain, I will not touch the pension left by you, but I must take a look at the thief skills book. After reading it, I will personally go to your hometown to apologize and leave the skill book to your son. ."

In his hand, he holds the black junior thief certification badge left by Captain Backkom. This is the only remaining relic of Captain Backkom.

"Francis, you said Captain Bacon hasn't been back home for how many years?"

Before Francis finished listening to Gu Lie's words, he saw Gu Lie had already stood up and walked towards the second floor of the tavern.

The last ray of light in the sky disappeared.

"Bang bang bang"

The air here is much more comfortable, and there is no noise from the mercenary adventurers downstairs.

"Please come in"

After pushing the door and walking into the room, Gu Lie saw the tavern owner "Old Henry" behind the half-moon oak table.

Old Henry is actually not old at all, but his gray hair hides his true age. He holds a pipe in one hand and motions Gu Lie to sit down with the other.

"Please sit down, I am Old Henry, young adventurer, what do you need?" Old Henry picked up his pipe and blew out a big smoke ring.

"I think."

"Wait, let me guess, calmer, restless young adventurer".

"Well, you are a thief and you are going to steal something tonight. Let me see, silver coins?"

Gu Lie raised his eyelids and did not respond to Old Henry's question.

"Oh, it's not gold coins either."

"Don't guess, it's a contract."

Old Henry smiled with great satisfaction.

"This is a catalog of thieves' auxiliary tools that are suitable for correspondence purposes. Of course, they can be purchased optionally."

“Discount for purchasing the complete set”

Old Henry took the trouble to make the introduction, holding the "menu" in one hand and shaking it to Gu Lie's face, as if to say: "Hurry up, order quickly."

"Well, I don't have a dinar in my pocket!"

Before Old Henry could call his men hiding in the dark, the blushing Gu Lie stretched out his palm.

"I'm using it as collateral."

Although there are countless junior thief badges in larger cities, they are still of great value in ordinary baronies.

"make a deal."

As the heavy door of the Underwriters Association is closed, it heralds the end of the day's work.

"Hey, Jack. You can go and have dinner by yourself. I really can't stand the sour radishes pickled by the priest. I'm still feeling sour in my stomach, vomiting."

"Don't throw up now, wait until I leave!"

Turning around and looking at Jack running away, Fei Fei swallowed the feeling of wanting to vomit.

Go back to sleep.

Wait, there was something in the shadow behind the door just now.

I turned around and I saw it.

Long red hair, pale face, fishy red lips, white linen dress, emphasis, no legs and feet, the skirt is windless and automatic.

"Female vampires are common in old castles."

The lips parted slightly, but before a word came out, the curled tongue flattened back.

The girl was helpless when she saw the unconscious Fei Fei. She grabbed her collar with one hand and dragged him to the backyard.
