[Count of Monte Cristo] Archon

Edmund stood up and walked to Haiidee. With a smug smile on his face, he introduced to Muhammad: "Your Highness, as you can see, this is the slave girl I bought yesterday. Her name is Haide. .”

Muhammad couldn't sit still.He stood up abruptly, ignoring the numbness of his legs, and said in surprise and anger, "Isn't the slave Abdullah traded yesterday not Ulysses?"

Edmund blinked, and said in surprise, "Ulysses? It sounds like a man's name..."

"Your Excellency Edmond, I advise you not to act stupid to me." Muhammad's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Abdullah is my cousin, and I know very well what slave he shot! "

Edmund showed an unhappy expression: "Your Highness, not only you know this, but I also know it very well! When he sold slaves to my housekeeper, he used the banner of the most beautiful woman in the world! Although my family has long since fallen , but I once dominated one side, I grew up watching rare beauties in the world, how could I be deceived on this point!"

Lilith's shoulders began to tremble again as Haidee walked out—it started again, the trick that Edmund II relied on to run amok Ryan was telling the truth!

Muhammad wanted to get angry, but Ulysses just rightly raised his eyes and looked at him. Although the part covered by the veil could not be seen clearly, but only by the softness of those eyes, it can be seen that under the veil is absolutely A face that is alluring.

The previous anger dissipated unknowingly, Muhammad took two steps towards them, and fixed his eyes on Ulysses: "You can't see anything with a veiled woman!"

Edmund frowned even tighter.He glanced at Muhammad like a bumpkin, and said incredulously: "I heard that Prince Muhammad is a famous expert in appreciating beauties, and he thought about bringing a few female slaves to visit you in two days, but I didn't expect that these were just rumors That's all... A real connoisseur of beauties can even tell the level of appearance from a single finger, but in an Islamic country, you actually asked my female slave to take off her veil to see her level?"

As if being slapped, Muhammad felt a burning pain on his face.What Edmond said was not wrong at all. A real expert can judge the beauty of a beauty even if he only sees one finger.Only in an Islamic country like the Ottoman Empire would such masters emerge in endlessly.

As the most beloved son of the Sultan, Muhammad certainly had such piercing eyes, but after he became obsessed with sex, this ability gradually faded... After seeing Ulysses, he instinctively felt that He is a beauty, but he is not sure whether he is really to the point where he dares to be boasted as "the most beautiful woman in the world".Subconsciously, he still felt that Edmond was deceiving him, but after these words, he no longer thought so.

Edmund was definitely a swinger who was pampered and raised since he was a child, and only this kind of background could explain his arrogance and recklessness.Although his questioning was too straightforward, Muhammad realized what was wrong-maybe it wasn't that Edmond hid Ulysses, but that Abdullah didn't tell the truth at all !

If you think about it, you will know that Mahmoud II has many favorite concubines, but he has never expressed his special preference for child molestation. If Abdullah really wants to match his favor, he should take Vaseriki's daughter It was right to buy it, but how could she buy her son!What's more, according to Abdullah's statement, Ulysses should have passed the best age for child molestation, but he chose to sacrifice people at this time, which is obviously false!

But if Abdullah really lied to him and bought Vaseliji's daughter, the girl in front of him should only be eleven or twelve years old, so how could she be so tall... Muhammad's face turned pale Cloudy and sunny.He looked at Ulysses' figure and appearance, and asked coldly, "Are you Ali Pasha's daughter?"

A flash of humiliation and resentment flashed in Ulysses' eyes, and he quickly hid it, looking at Edmund as if asking for help.Edmund shook his head and said, "I've heard this statement before, but it's obviously just a lie fabricated to increase his status. Haiidee is already 19 years old, so how could she have anything to do with Ali Pasha?"

Muhammad lost his voice: "What!?"

Edmund shrugged innocently: "My housekeeper has a special way of finding out the age of someone's bones. Although the person who sold it to me claimed that she was only 16 years old, she is indeed over [-] years old. Haidee, hello, Haidee, have a word."

Ulysses lowered his head, showing a shy look, and said softly, "Yes."

Muhammad's face darkened completely.At this point, it was obvious that Abdullah had deceived himself!

Maybe he did buy Vanessery's daughter, and he did intend to give her to the Sultan, but she is not yet mature... Abdullah will sell people willingly, while Crying bitterly to express remorse, there could be only one reason - the one he sold was the slave girl he was going to enjoy for himself!

The shame of being taken advantage of made Muhammad angry.He regarded Abdullah as someone very close to him, but he never expected that the other party would have such a plan to use him to achieve his goals...

"I didn't expect the truth to be like this." Muhammad suppressed his anger and pretended to be nonchalant, "However, I think that although the count's female slave is a beauty, she may not be the most beautiful person in the world. "

Originally, at this point, Edmond's goal had been achieved.Since Abdullah wanted to use Muhammad to punish them, he took advantage of the situation to repay them in the same way, and let Abdullah learn the lesson through Muhammad's hand.But he was too lazy to teach Mohammed a lesson, but Muhammad didn't know what it means to accept it as soon as it's good, and he actually said something like this...

It’s true that God’s Domain has a way if you don’t go, and the abyss has no way for you to enter.Edmund shrugged his shoulders, showing annoyed expression: "What does this mean, Your Highness? Isn't Haidee not beautiful enough?"

"No, she may be really beautiful enough, but she is not worthy of the title of the most beautiful person in the world." Muhammad did not forget his original intention of visiting the door, and now he has no way to take revenge on Abdullah immediately, but for this Helping foreigners, there is no need to restrain his anger so much, "Although she is indeed beautiful, but in Istanbul, I know someone more beautiful than her."

Edmund showed distrust in his eyes: "Is this the case? My butler told me that he has found what I dreamed of..." Halfway through the words, he seemed to realize that he had slipped his words, and stopped with an ugly face. Huatou.

Muhammad was in high spirits.The greater Edmond's interest in beauty, the more likely his idea would succeed.

"I am the son of the Sultan, the prince of Ottoman Turkey, how could I deceive you!" Muhammad snorted coldly, with an ugly face, "Since you insist that you have found the beauty you want..." Halfway through the sentence, He stopped again, turned around and walked out the door: "Farewell, Your Excellency the Earl."

"Wait a minute!" Edmund immediately stopped him eagerly, and chased after him in three steps at a time. "You said Istanbul, there is really..."

His frizzy appearance really fits his youthful appearance. Muhammad thought he had grasped his weakness, so his expression became haughty again: "Don't you believe this?"

Edmund showed hesitation in cooperation, his expression changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth: "Yes, I don't believe there is a woman more beautiful than my Haidee, unless you let me see it with my own eyes."

This clumsy aggressive method played right into Muhammad's hands.He glanced at Edward, and raised his chin haughtily: "But it's not easy, Earl... You know, those real beauties don't just come in handy."

Edmond's eyes flickered, he hesitated for a while, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I heard that the real beauties of the Ottoman Empire are all in the sultan's harem?"

Muhammad didn't expect that he would put his idea in the harem of the sultan, his bluish-white face suddenly flushed, and he said angrily: "Dispel your thoughts, ignorant outsider, the sultan's concubine is not what you want to see." Can see..."

Edmund said nonchalantly: "Really? But when I was in Tsarist Russia, I paid a small price to sneak into their court..."

If Muhammad still had some doubts in his heart before, seeing Edmond's performance now, those doubts were all dispelled.Although the temperament is somewhat special, a person's nature cannot be concealed. Edmond, the "Count" who owns a barren territory, is obviously very irresistible to beauty. carry.

Muhammad had long been familiar with dealing with such people.His vigilance against Edmond was reduced by one point, and his contempt was increased by one point: "It is true that the Sultan's court is filled with a large number of beauties, but I know that the most unparalleled in the world has not yet entered his harem." ..." He changed his voice, and sneered again, "But since you think your slave girl is this unparalleled beauty, then you must have no interest in that real beauty."

Ulysses stood behind them still maintaining a dignified posture, listening to their conversation in bewilderment.Edmund was clearly able to send the guest away, and even used Muhammad to give Abdullah a hard blow, but he suddenly caught a new topic, arguing with Muhammad about who is the number one in the world beauty……

What is he trying to do?Is it really to collect beauties?Ulysses found it ridiculous. If it was only about appearance, although he was very reluctant to admit it, could there be anyone more outstanding than him in this world?

... no, wait, there may be one more... Another child of Vanessery, his cherished sister Haidee!

Ulysses' heart was beating wildly, a blush gradually appeared on his fair cheeks, and his hands were clenched into fists.He is very confident about this possibility. Vaseriki was the most beautiful woman in Greece back then. After Haiide was born, everyone who saw Haiide was unanimously praised as the future treasure of Greece. Compared with this man, Haiide obviously It is more in line with all the elements of being a beauty. If Muhammad could really find someone to compare with him, that person would definitely be Haide!

Although Muhammad may not know the whereabouts of Haiidee yet, it is obviously much easier for a former powerful prince to find a female slave in the empire than it is for him to find it by himself.Maybe it won't be long before he can see his only relative in the world...

…I just don’t know, did Edmund do this on purpose, or did he push things in this direction unintentionally?

Muhammad has not yet seen clearly by a bystander.Having just been betrayed, he urgently needs to find something to prove his correctness, and in his eyes Edmund is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.He defined Edmond with his usual arrogance, and then wishful thinking that his plan was foolproof, and continued to use the aggressive method: "We have nothing to say, farewell, Your Excellency the Earl."

Since the "Haidee" in front of him is not the daughter of Vaseriki, but just a slave girl that Abdullah intends to enjoy for himself, then the beauty that is really going to be dedicated to the Sultan must still be in his hands... And if this The guess is correct, as long as he can make a bet with Edmund, he may not be able to get the daughter of Vaseriki, but the stunning beauty in front of him and Edmund's huge wealth can definitely be obtained.

As for whether his guess is correct or whether the bet will fail in the end, it is not in Muhammad's consideration.He is the prince of the Ottoman Empire, even if the real power is taken away, he is still a very influential figure.If it goes well, he will show it off as a talking point, and if it doesn't go well, he will secretly kill him. No matter what the result is, he can always get what he wants.

He wanted to provoke the general, so Edmund showed a look of being provoked in cooperation, and said angrily: "Please stay, Your Royal Highness. If you can really find a woman who is more beautiful than my Haide, why can't you let me take a look?" Woolen cloth!"

"Since you refuse to let me see Haide's face, why should I show my slave girl?" Muhammad snorted and said arrogantly.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe there was a woman more beautiful than Haidee." Edmund gritted his teeth, "Unless..."

"In this case, it's better to make a bet." Muhammad felt that the time had come, so he made a bet at the right time, "Three days later, we will meet at the largest slave trading market in the city, and invite those slave traders to come and judge, where are you?" One is the real number one beauty in the world."

Edmond said: "If I win..."

"The real beauty is yours. In addition, I will give her an equal amount of wealth." Muhammad glanced at Edmond with disdain.

As if irritated, Edmond's face turned red: "Then if you win, Haiidee will also be yours, and I will give you twice as much wealth as her worth!"

Edmund is so rich?Muhammad couldn't help being surprised.Abdullah sold his slave for a high price, but now Edmund can easily pay twice the price... Muhammad's face changed for a while, and he made a bet with Edmund About, left here in a hurry.

Regardless of whether Edmund wins or loses, Muhammad will never let him go easily.

As soon as Muhammad went out, Ulysses went to change the clothes.When he returned to the living room, Edmund was sitting leisurely on the sofa reading a book, with a very happy expression, as if nothing had happened just now.

Ulysses had mixed feelings.He should have been angry because he was being used, but he couldn't get angry because of the possibility of getting news about his sister... He walked across to Edmund and sat down: "Why did you make such a bet?"
