Destiny Thief

Chapter 58 Flame II

"Sir, please wait!"

Glo was about to leave the "Mermaid Reef" on his little black horse, when the waiter girl with a cute face, full breasts and a comprehensive score of "5 points" suddenly ran out from the door of the tavern, holding the hem of her skirt and running Hastily, shouted loudly.

"What's the matter? Beautiful lady."

"Here is an invitation from you, which arrived about noon."

"Well—let me see."

Glo took the invitation from the girl.Thin and tough, the texture of the paper feels good, and the texture of the fibers slides through his fingertips. He can be sure that this is a piece of pampas grass paper—this kind of paper was invented around 490 in the continental calendar. Once it was launched, it became popular The entire continent, including the territory of the Elante Kingdom.Compared with parchment, the comfort and durability of writing, as well as the portability of carrying, quickly became popular.

However, the pampas grass used to make this kind of paper does not exist in the Northland.These plants that like warm and humid environments are mostly distributed in the southern part of the continent, and there are also a small amount of plants in the southern part of the kingdom.But appearing here means that it is rare, and only some nobles and merchants who travel far will get used to using it.

But the few businessmen he knew didn't know where he was now in Avron.

Lord Fielding?Impossible, that gentleman has always been addicted to alchemy, so he should not send invitations to invite guests for no reason.

Could it be Macuro?

Glo immediately opened the invitation card, and on it were a few lines of extremely elegant and graceful Elantra cursive script:

To Mr. Lecter:

On the evening of September 9th, I will hold a reception at the Clover Manor and look forward to your visit.

Signed: Marculo Escuder
really!

The bandit leader secretly proud of his accurate prediction, he bent down to express his polite thanks to the waiter girl, then he gently folded the invitation and put it in the inner pocket of his jacket.But at this time, he secretly muttered in his heart.

What on earth does that "overbearing hypocrite" want to do?
Due to the standpoints of both parties, Karthus is more biased towards their opponents. An invitation to a reception, an event that expresses intimacy among nobles, happened to him, an envoy of Karthus, which is a bit weird.What's more, according to the current situation in Afron and the North, the Escud family seems to have no need to show favor to Karthus at all.In the game, the entire Escud family has always belonged to the hawks of the kingdom, and Tuo Jing has never been their style.

Or, it was just because of Marcus’ personal appreciation for him—the appreciation of the nobles usually means solicitation, but in the position of that Mr. Staff, it is basically impossible to change the family, this kind of appreciation does not seem to have the slightest real meaning .

What on earth is Marculo trying to do?
Glo was riding on the back of the little black horse, pulling the rein and walking slowly.At sunset, there are more and more pedestrians on the street.The city officials who finished the paperwork and went home on the road, the small vendors who counted the goods on the side of the road and prepared to pack them up, the businessmen who sat in the carriage after handing over the goods and chatted and laughed with each other, the artisans who returned from a hard day in various workshops, and those who did not know The hooligans and wandering mercenaries who came out of some dark corner gathered into Chuansuo's crowd.Glo in the crowd slowed down, while browsing the city's scenery in the evening, because of thinking about the problem, he was slightly lost in thought.

He came all the way from the "Mermaid Reef" by the port to Nancheng District, but he didn't notice at all that behind him, at a distance of dozens of steps, there were a few more figures following him at some point.

"Joseph, are you sure it's that guy?"

At the corner of the street, a man with a sullen expression asked the "bald head" beside him.His name is William, he was born as a wandering mercenary, and he is the newly promoted deputy of "Grizzly" Cosmo.Compared with his predecessor, Billy, he didn't talk much, but because of his meticulous thinking, he performed well in some daily activities of "Blood Fang". Since Billy's death, he was just a small boss. Being favored by Cosmo, he became the real one in the organization.

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Baldhead," Joseph replied, rubbing his eyes.

"Then, let's keep up. Well, make some preparations, there are still a lot of people here."

William's slender fingers touched a bulging bag at his waist, and he took out a small indigo-blue dagger from his pocket, and said with a dark smile.

"But the boss asked us to notify the Public Security Department if we see this guy..."

Seeing William licking his tongue eagerly, "Baldhead" Joseph and another member of "Blood Fang" kindly reminded him.

"No, no - it's not necessary at all. You know, those greedy villains in the Public Security Department are never easy to satisfy. The few of us can do this well enough."

William put his palm on the shoulder of the "bald head" who was at the same level as his eyes, and clapped twice pretending to be kind.Before leaving, Cosmo made some confessions to him, but he didn't take the contents of those confessions seriously at all.

He has such confidence. As the inaugural assassin of LV10, his skills are simply not comparable to Billy's three-legged cat skills.

Those "working funds" planned for the Public Security Department should stay in his pocket.In Afron, it was not too difficult for William to quietly kill a rootless outsider.

"But……"

"Baldhead" still can't forget what happened that night, he hesitated, hesitating.

"It's nothing. Well, when the matter is over, Rael in the pocket, each of you will share [-]%."

William generously made the decision to share. Seeing the "bald head" and the other man swallowing their saliva in front of him, he grinned with great satisfaction.

……

The sun rising from the sea, after a day, gradually disappears in the shadow of the mountains and forests.

The west of Avron is different from other places in the city. There is no complete and integrated city wall all over the high walls. It is just a rolling hill with lush trees, tranquility, tranquility and elegant scenery. The local nobles and big businessmen , most of them live here.

The Clover Manor, which belongs to the Escuder family, happens to be located here.

Marculo Escud appeared in the manor wearing a well-tailored and slim black dress. In front of him stood a middle-aged butler who was also well-dressed and well-made.With his long legs stretched out, he half-lyed comfortably on a wooden bench in the lawn of the manor, listening carefully to the butler's report on the preparations for the reception, and nodded his approval from time to time.

As night fell, the number of guests in the manor increased little by little.The shadow of the moonlight crawled over the treetops, and Makuro stood up from the bench, and walked towards the hall where the reception was held.
