Chapter 65 Entering the City
With 100,000 gold coins in cash, in addition to millions of gold coins, a whole carriage of elf jewelry and silverware, escorted by 70 Rome Island soldiers and 100 Holy Empire soldiers, in the creation of the gods 36179, May 23 of the Holy Empire calendar 1574 This afternoon, I entered the south gate of Caen City. History skillfully circled around, and Arcado returned to the original point, but at this moment, things are wrong.
Outside the gate, the sacred imperial cavalry responsible for escort left reluctantly. They were treated deliciously along the way. If they were not afraid of being hanged, these soldiers would not even want to go back to return to their lives. They preferred to stay and serve the rich islander.
On the streets of Caen, many nobles and bureaucrats were surprised to see this convoy. The escort was full of black armor, under the beautiful and strange flag, protecting the luxurious gold-inlaid carriage, driving in the middle of the road. There was an elf warrior among the guard knights, and the leader was also an elf officer. The most strange thing is that the elves and human soldiers are escorting the same convoy in uniform, making everyone guess who the owner of the convoy is.
"Is this the elves' envoy? Why is there no welcoming team and escort team? It's so strange." A citizen asked.
"If the elf envoy comes, the number of escorts must be more than that, and at least someone will go outside the city to greet him. This is obviously not an elf mission." A knowledgeable industry insider answered him in a low voice.
"How can there be elf guards in the human world, and how can those captured elves be allowed to touch weapons? They will resist immediately. What's more, you can see clearly that these are obviously elf soldiers, not those civilians. These soldiers are very dangerous. A man who had seen the elf slave said.
"Why is it impossible? I heard that in the southern coastal port, there is a legend that Rome Island has a good relationship with the Elf Forest. They can use elf slaves on a large scale and have the consent of the Elf Forest. A well-informed man said.
"Oh, my God, is this the team of Rome Island? This man is so rich." A woman praised.
"I heard that the island owner of Rome Island has the support of elves. He legally manages the trade between humans and elves and is very rich." The well-informed man continued to say, which caused people around him to exclaim.
A rich-looking businessman ordered his carriage to drive in the direction of the Romai motorcade, slowly approached the side of the motorcade, and called to the convoy escort: "Which adult is this convoy?"
The bodyguard questioned just watched the businessman continue to ride forward, and the captain of the bodyguard Dick, who heard the question, simply said in his strange tone, "Romai, Count Rudolph." The lively crowd on both sides sighed again. It was the legendary Count Rudolph sitting here.
The motorcade soon passed through the poor and chaotic southern district and came to the beautiful central area. As soon as they entered the Central District, the convoy stopped slowly. The housekeeper came out of the carriage in front of the convoy again, waved to call a black armored knight, whispered a few words, and soon the black armored knight nodded, walked to the periphery of the convoy, and began to shout, "We need a local to take me We went to find a nobleman who rented or sold his mansion. Who knows the news? As long as the news is accurate and willing to lead the way, there will be a reward of 5 gold coins.
At the beginning, the onlookers did not believe it. They looked at the shouting bodyguard in a blank face. When a man saw the three or two gorgeous carriages in the center of the convoy, he suddenly reacted and quickly ran to the shouting black armored knight. While running, he shouted, "I, I know that there is a marquis who is going to sell his own marquis's house. I can take you there, me! I can!" Seeing that he was taken to the front of the team by the bodyguard to lead the way and given a deposit of a gold coin, it made people who did not go forward extremely sorry that the five gold coins were a large amount of money in the eyes of many people even in the central district.
Soon the motorcade went on the road again, followed by all kinds of people who wanted to pick up cheap ones. After a while, he came to a big mansion, and there were two guards standing guard at the door.
The leading man came to the door of the Marquis's mansion and said to the guard, "I heard that the Marquis intends to sell this house."
"That's the case. You don't want to buy it, do you?" The soldier looked at the person in front of him contemptuously and asked.
"No, it's not me. The owner of this convoy asked me to lead the way and come and ask." The man hurriedly retreated, received the remaining 4 gold coins, turned around and left, for fear that the Black Armor Knight would regret it.
The housekeeper in the motorcade jumped out of the carriage, walked to the doorman, handed the doorman a gold coin, and said with a smile, "I want to talk to the Marquis. Please help spread it."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." Nodding his head and bowing, the doorman quickly went to inform the marquis. After a while, a well-dressed businessman came outside the door.
"I'm the Marquis of Kaka. Are you looking for me?" The Marquis looked at the well-dressed man in front of him and asked.
"My owner wants to rent your house for about a month and then leave."
"Hahaha, I don't think you understand. I want to sell my house, not for rent, sir." The old marquis smiled and looked at the housekeeper and said.
"If we rent it for 1 day, we will pay you 500 gold coins, and we will give you 5500 gold coins in 10 days. If you don't rent it, I will ask someone else." The housekeeper said to the marquis.
"Wait, sir, do you mean 500 gold coins a day?" The marquis quickly grabbed the housekeeper and asked nervously.
"Yes, sir, you're not bad here, so I came to ask." The housekeeper said gently.
"You are such a generous person. I'm moving away and wait for me for an hour." The marquis turned around and walked in, as if he remembered something, and quickly came out and said, "Come in with me to visit, and then go to the living room for a rest."
"Oh, sir, I'm not the owner. I'm the housekeeper. My master is just waiting in the car. I'm also waiting for your message in the fleet. Please prepare the contract and we will trade face to face." The housekeeper said.
"Immediately, right away, please wait a moment." The marquis turned around and walked in.
In the evening, Arcado's motorcade had entered the Marquis's Mansion to rest. His housekeeper took several people to customize and replace the plaque of the mansion at the door. Dick faithfully stayed behind Arcado, and the black armor guards had searched the whole Marquis's Palace. There was nothing suspicious.
At night, everyone who was tired quickly fell asleep, except for the bodyguard on duty. These well-trained knights carefully carry out their duty.
The next morning, Acado drove to the residence of Archbishop Rodaram, and he wanted to visit the powerful archbishop of the Holy Empire.
