Chapter 56: backstreet
"Sir, what do you mean?" Blair looked confused.
"That is to say, let you go to the Marquis of Brand, as long as you can ask him to come to me to save your father, your father will have nothing to do," Leo said with a smile, "of course, if you don't If you can ask him, your father will force me to go to the School of Etiquette for further studies when I take over as the patroller.
Don't blame me for this matter. "
"Ah this..." Blair became more and more stunned for a while, but although he didn't know why the patroller who had been offended by him had to do this, one thing Blair was clear about was that , he has no room for bargaining.
"This is a seventh-order magic crystal," Leo took out a magic crystal with a faint cyan light from the box and threw it to him gently.
hiss...
Hearing this, Blair also subconsciously took it, and he breathed a little in an instant. The seventh-order magic crystal is very valuable. In the environment of the fierce lion realm, I am afraid that the price will approach 30,000 dinars!
What does this wind patrol mean? For a time, Blair even felt terrified, and the seventh-order magic crystal in his hand was even slightly hot! He knew that this treasure was not easy to handle.
"You take this magic crystal, plus the wealth you can get, to beg Marquis Brand, this is the only way you can save your father," Leo chuckled, but this smile was in Brand's eyes. In his eyes, he only felt that there was a hidden danger, "Otherwise, unless you can ask His Majesty the King or another extreme duke to speak in person, or your father wants to get out of prison, you need to prepare the tomb in advance."
what!
Hearing that, Blair shuddered, and even said in a mournful voice, "Lord Patrolman, we, the Houghton family, are just a small family of palace counts, please be merciful, be sure to spare us, there is no father, Our family..."
"That's your business," Leo said indifferently. "As long as the Marquis of Brand comes to intercede with me, your father will be safe. Of course, I don't think you, Breer, will let our agreement be affected by Brand. The Marquis de d'Or knows that, right?"
"Yes, yes..." How dare Blair say nothing, although he said that he couldn't understand what Leo did for a while, but he knew that his father's life was in Leo's hands. You can only do as Leo ordered, there is no other possibility.
As for what Leo said, please move His Majesty the King or other dukes? Brand is a powerful marquis, and he thinks it is difficult to invite him, let alone those grand dukes. If he has that ability, why would the Hughton family be here?
"Also, remember to tell me when Marquis Brand heard your request."
……
"Sir, you just rewarded him with a seventh-order magic crystal?" Bella on the side looked rather distressed.
"It's all for him now. When things are done, our Minister of Etiquette is not so incapable of being a man." Leo smiled lightly, thinking about other things in his heart.
……
"Blair, I heard about your family's change, and I am deeply sympathetic to this, but after all, that is the new wind watcher, His Excellency, the wind watchers are all over the capital, and the wind watchers are directly responsible to the king, even if If I come forward, it may not work." Marquis Brand politely mixed with a distant tone, politely rejecting Blair in front of him.
"Marquis Brand, you are highly respected and have a very important position in the kingdom. Then Leo Archimonde is just a country baron, who is valued by His Majesty the King, and appointed by the Earl as a patroller. Even if you are in power, how dare you Offend you?" Blair said very humbly, with a very low attitude.
"Blair, I'm sorry I can't help you," Marquis Brand was also a shrewd person. He had never seen how the Hughton family expressed their closeness before. Now that something happened to his family, he was only able to think of him?
It's too late to ask for help at this time, doesn't he look so stupid? Marquis Brand couldn't help sneering. If it was ordered by the dense forest, it is no wonder that the Minister of Etiquette for so many years could not be promoted.
"No, Marquis Brand," Blair was also very anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly took out a small square box, and then, a light blue light was reflected here, and the blue brilliance made this The halls dominated by deep red tones are a bit cold.
this……
"Seventh-order magic crystal?" Brand's eyes flashed a little strangely, and he seemed quite surprised. He knew about the family background of the Houghton family, and the background was very weak. How could he get the seventh-order magic crystal?
"I also ask the Marquis to help," Blair pleaded again. "This is the heirloom of my Houghton family. Besides, my Houghton family has two farms outside the West City and..."
"Brier, all right," Marquis Brand interrupted him with a smile, "that's the wind patrol. Even if I come forward, I'm not sure, so please go back."
Marquis Brand said politely, but Blair could naturally hear the alienation in his words.
"No, Marquis Brand," Blair shouted, looking a little excited.
"Blair, as a nobleman, you must remember that it is extremely impolite to be like you," Marquis Brand said with a bit of displeasure on his face, and then got up to leave.
"Marquis Brand, please help us this time. No matter whether it is successful or not, we will offer these seventh-order magic crystals." Blair pleaded.
Ok?
Marquis Blair really stopped and frowned slightly, but he thought about it again, and then shook his head lightly and sighed, "Sorry, Blair, your proposal is very tempting, but after all, that person is Lord Patrol, I am I'm busy, I can't help you."
"You just need to show up," Blair froze for a moment and muttered.
"Sorry, Blair," Marquis Brand still maintained his demeanor, but frowned slightly. This Blair is really a child, can this be settled simply by showing up?
At first glance, that patrolman is not easy to mess with. Milin Houghton rammed into him and offended others. He couldn't pay the price himself, so why should others give face? The Houghton family is really simple-minded. After being the minister of etiquette for so many years, did Milin Houghton not learn the way of the nobles?
Fortunately, Marquis Brand didn't think much about it at this time. He just thought that the eldest young master of the Houghton family was too simple. He thought that as long as he came forward, the problem would be solved. How could there be such a simple thing?
He is also a dignified marquis of the kingdom, so why is he so easy to show up? More importantly, that matter still makes him uneasy, and he can't wait to stay away from the group of sensitive-nosed wind patrollers, how could he still join him?
Naturally, Marquis Brand simply rejected Blair's proposal without even thinking about it.
……
Blair walked back to the mansion in despair. He even wanted to blurt out that as long as Marquis Brand was willing to intercede, Leo would definitely let his father go. However, his only sanity was able to stop his impulse. .
"Eldest young master, a guest is here, saying that your friend is waiting for you inside." The mansion attendant said to Blair, which surprised Blair, his friend?
Who will come at this time? Even Herney has been estranged from him a lot recently, and the old servant also knew Herney. "They have a lot of people, and they don't seem to be easy to mess with." The old servant thought of something and added again.
Hearing this, Blair became more and more confused. He walked outside the main hall and saw several majestic men in chain armor burqas. The momentum was very terrifying, which made Blair even more pale. This was a lion squire. How come here?
For a while, Blair felt uneasy in his heart. The Lion Knights had a pivotal position in the kingdom. Why did so many lion squires appear?
However, then a figure came into view, which made him even more discolored.
"Lord Patrolman," Blair's expression changed slightly for a while, how could the other party be in his own home? What is this for?
"Just passing by, come and take a look," Leo said with a few smiles on his mouth, "Why, looking at your expression, it doesn't seem to be going well Your Excellency Patrolman, please forgive me My family," Blair knelt down again, with a bit of crying, and he couldn't hold it any longer after running around for the past few days and his mental strength was haggard.
"Hey, hey," Leo couldn't help frowning slightly, showing some disgust, "Why are you crying, tell me Marquis Brand's performance, maybe I'll lessen my disgust for you."
Blair was naturally overjoyed when he heard the words, he forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and recounted all the circumstances of his meeting with Marquis Brand, and most importantly, returned the magic crystal.
"You mean, even after you made such a promise, Marquis Brand still refuses to agree?" Leo frowned slightly and fell into a light thought, which is a bit unreasonable, seventh-order magic crystal, temptation does not count Low, gently twisting the magic crystal, Leo's suspicion of Marquis Brand became more and more.
"Yes," Blair replied in a low voice, seeming to realize something, and added again, "But I and he seemed quite tempted at the time, but in the end he refused."
"It's interesting," Leo said softly. "Okay, you did a good job." After speaking, Leo got up and left. Blair looked at Leo's back and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Go, go to the back street." Leo said clearly after leaving the Houghton family mansion, "Brown should be waiting for us there for a while, don't make him wait for a long time."
Backstreet, this is a very ugly place in the city. It is a dangerous area where smugglers and bandits gather to make money through illegal means. The most troublesome place for the Governor is, which is commonly known as the gray or black area.
(ps: At present, there should be two more updates.)
