Morning came, and Claire woke up quickly after a bad night's sleep. Although she was a little tired, she had developed the habit of staying alert at all times during her escape days. Unless she used the power of the gem excessively and fell asleep, she would never wake up. Go and covet the warm bed and the so-called sleep for a few more minutes, wake up and immediately regain your energy and stay alert. It is only because of this habit that I have managed to survive until today.
Speaking of the gem, Claire quickly touched her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the gem was there.
Although she was brought to this chamber of commerce by her 'sister', Claire still seemed a little nervous due to the unfamiliar environment. She quietly opened the door and poked her head around. She was discovered by a passing maid. After discovering Ms. Emma's After her brother woke up, the maid politely asked Claire if she wanted some breakfast.
"Ms. Emma is talking to the vice president, don't worry."
Seeing this boy who seemed a little weak and shy, the maid said comfortingly.
In the end, Claire expressed that she wanted to eat something after the maid's enthusiastic inquiry. In fact, asking about Emma's situation was not because she was worried about Emma's safety, but because Claire really wanted to leave here and go home as soon as possible. To be honest, it was better than meeting in person. Regarding possible attackers at home, Claire is not used to staying in such a crowded and noisy so-called safe chamber of commerce. She doesn't like to go to places with too many people. In comparison, she prefers a secluded environment.
After the maid brought a sumptuous breakfast, Claire ate quietly in her room. Although she was a little concerned, the fallen master Berismee who returned brought the good news that Emma's home was safe. A suggestion came that it was best not to meet the vice president of this chamber of commerce, because there is a high probability that the vice president of this chamber of commerce is a transcendent person.
The identity of the Extraordinary immediately made Claire a little restless. The terrifying scene of Yunokia and other Extraordinary beings competing for each other that night was still vivid in her mind. Compared with ordinary warriors and mages, the endless methods and terrifying strength of Extraordinary are really It's chilling.
After breakfast, Claire had decided to stay in the room and not go there.
At the same time, on the other side of the Chamber of Commerce, Emma was discussing a series of things that happened yesterday with Vice President Closide. After arriving at the Chamber of Commerce, the remaining personnel of the Chamber of Commerce had notified the city security team. After arriving, the security team found something suspicious. It seemed that all the personnel had evacuated the scene and there were no traces left. However, the legal staff under Ms. Eunogia who arrived later said that the protective circle in the mansion had been invaded. Although the other party had bypassed the circle's The warning system was weakened, but in the end the spell was not cracked. Since it occurred in the upper area, and the attack on the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce had just occurred recently, the security team immediately launched an investigation into the incident and strengthened the The intensity of patrols in the upper-class residential area where Emma is located.
But compared to what happened to her own mansion, the aristocratic man who warned her midway made Emma feel that things were a bit unexpected.
"You can't see it wrong." Emma, ??who was sitting in the room, said with 200% certainty: "Even the most ignorant person in this city cannot fail to recognize that emblem, unless It was forged by the other party.¡±
Croside narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "If it's just to warn you, it's really not necessary."
"I think so too, so maybe he really is~" Emma's expression was a little misty, and even now she had a look of disbelief.
"No matter who his identity is, or whether it's true or false, the important thing is that he did warn you and saved you from a bad luck. At least it means that his position may be on your side." Crowe said here Said stood up: "Of course, it may also be a carefully arranged conspiracy to gain your trust and make you relax your guard."
Having said this, Emma still shook her head with an expression of disbelief, as if she still can¡¯t believe what happened last night.
"That's true, but this is not the focus of our discussion now. The focus is that your safety is very important next time, Emma, ??and you didn't keep the negotiation documents about the Kalsemmen Empire at home." Closide stared at said Emma.
Emma nodded and revealed a ring she was wearing: "Don't worry, Sir, I carry all the important information with me at all times. No one other than me can open this space ring."
"SinceSo, it¡¯s time for us to discuss what to do next. "
First of all, the place where Emma lives is no longer safe and it is obviously not suitable to return, even if the security team has stepped up patrols. Closide's opinion is simply that Emma should move directly to the Chamber of Commerce. The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is extremely guarded. Even the three giants in the free city dare not attack it openly, let alone the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. Huan also has his own military force. Although the leader is an unreliable guy, his combat effectiveness is no less than that of the strongest Crack Tooth Ax mercenary group. If Lawrence and Felibos still want to be tough, Black Stone The Ring Chamber of Commerce can guarantee that they will never come back.
Living in the Chamber of Commerce is no problem for Emma. She also lived in the Chamber of Commerce when she first came to the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. However, this time with the addition of her younger brother Frank, it seems inappropriate.
"Your brother? Didn't you ask your family to leave?" Closide was a little surprised by Frank's existence.
"I'm sorry~ My brother had something happen to him some time ago and was injured, so I asked him to stay temporarily to recuperate."
Emma was a little lacking in confidence, and Croside looked at Emma with a subtle expression, as if he wanted to see something from it.
Seeing Emma suddenly froze and her expression flickered, Croside retracted his gaze and called a maid to bring a bunch of keys and handed them to Emma. This key was owned by the Black Market Chamber of Commerce in the upper district. A private residence, in fact, it is the residence of Croside himself, but its environment and location are also very special, close to the law school adjacent to the residential area, where almost everything is Eunogia's territory. With the golems and various magic circles in operation, to the people of the Free City, it is like a mysterious future magic city. Most of the people who can settle there are mages, and even the city security team has to enter there. You must first apply for a pass from the Magic Academy, otherwise anyone who breaks in without a permit will be immediately treated as an enemy by the golem and expelled.
Emma had already heard about the residential area, but she really didn't expect that the vice-president would actually have property there. You must know that in addition to mages and magic-related scholars, mentors, and apprentices, there are also wealthy people with huge wealth. There is no way to get a piece of land there. It is almost Yunokia's private 'kingdom', and even legally the rules set by the Magic Academy are given priority.
If it were there, not even the Big Three would be able to reach out!
But Eunokia is also one of the three giants, but compared to Lawrence and Philibos, Eunokia does not have much conflict of interest with the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, and Miss Eunokia seems to be interested in Blackstone. The Ring Chamber of Commerce maintains a semi-neutral state. In many matters, Yunokia, as the three giants, only verbally threatens and disgusts the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, but actually does nothing.
"You can live there for the time being. Although it's a little far away, you can pay a monthly fee and let the mages use the teleportation circle to send you here every day." Closide didn't seem to care about this, as if the bunch of keys were just A room in a low-rent apartment.
Emma accepted the key and bowed: "Thank you very much, Vice President."
¡°I¡¯ll have the rest of the furniture and supplies delivered to you. It¡¯s best not to go out too much during this period. Do you understand?¡±
"Yes! I understand~ Your Excellency!"
After handling these matters for Emma, ??Croseid called the maid to prepare a carriage for Emma. At the same time, two knight captains from the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce and six guards sent Emma and her brother back. I don¡¯t know why Emma always feels that something is wrong about that mansion. My brother is a little nervous and scared when facing the vice president. This should be normal. After all, the vice president usually gives people a strong sense of oppression, but Vice President Croside also seemed to care about his younger brother. It was obviously just the first time for the two of them to meet.
And Croside, who was upstairs watching the two siblings leaving together through the window, had a faint smile in his eyes, as if he had seen through something.
When the carriage that the two siblings were riding in disappeared from sight, Croside withdrew and returned to the desk and sat down. Some things might be more interesting to watch quietly for a while, anyway, as long as they are not out of control.
"Rogge?" Closide asked without looking back while sitting on the chair.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Rogge walked out slowly from one side of the room. His steady steps no longer gave people the frivolous and impetuous feeling as before. Even Croside couldn't help but take a second look at his subordinates who felt very different from before.
But Croside didn¡¯t seem to care about these changes: ¡°There happens to be something for you to do.¡±
