Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 576 Fraud

The knights were dismantling the cargo boxes on the pier, inspecting each box carefully.Irina was earnestly recording at the side, and the booklet recording information in her hand was already a thick stack.

"This kid, maybe he can be placed in the Boyle Chamber of Commerce at that time. He is expected to be an accountant."

"Maybe she can take over some financial work from Gene?"

"Hey, Mr. Wei, you still remember how busy Your Excellency Jean is." Mia giggled, "I thought Mr. Wei had forgotten about Jean."

Cyril wiped the unnecessary cold sweat from his head, and said righteously: "No, no, don't talk nonsense, I have always missed Jean very much. I will always remember Baron Jean's outstanding contribution to our Siliki. "

"Hoohoo, even so, the city hall is not cronyistic..."

"Of course, Irina is appointed because she is really capable."

The astrologer Greely Stard at the side listened to the conversation between the two, and his expression became stiff: "My lord, I remember that you and Miss Irina should... be about the same age?"

The two looked at each other, and then realized: "Ah, it seems to be true."

They looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

Cyril didn't feel anxious at this time, even though it was already the third day at the pier, the last day of Chagang, and they didn't find any prohibited "items" on any merchant ship.

This blockade from the source of goods seems to have failed.

Clark Romanus has been guarding the pier for three days, as if he was responsible for his chamber of commerce.But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this middle-aged man with a big belly has been glanced at Cyril intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to see Cyril deflated.

However, Cyril was either flirting with Miss Mage, or having sex with Miss Elf—in the eyes of Clark Romanus, it seemed that the so-called "sealing of the port" by the young earl was nothing more than a child's play.

Especially when they looked at the "nothing" cargo ship and then laughed, if Clark lived in the real world where [Road to Glory] is located, he would definitely say "the princes of the beacon fire show" bitterly.

At this time, Clark seemed to be unable to bear the sight of the young lord. After seeing another merchant ship of his own successfully passed the inspection, he stepped forward with a big thorn, and said with a smile: "My lord, we at Rotland Port, There is nothing you want to find out."

And the young earl turned his head back, with a smile on his face that possessed a different kind of affinity, or in other words, temptation—if he could be a few years younger, a seven or eight-year-old half-elf, how great would it be to put it on the market? sought after.

Clark Romanus couldn't help but think this way, and he didn't even hear what Cyril had said: "President Romanus, isn't it still half a day before the end, are you in such a hurry?"

"Worried? No hurry, I'm not in a hurry at all." Clark sighed quietly, "I'm just sorry, the Earl wasted such a precious three days in our port of Rutland, it's really not worth it!"

"It seems that President Romanus feels safe?" Cyril still kept smiling, holding one hand on his chest, and the other hanging lazily on his waist - there was no sword hanging there.

"Hehe, what kind of joke is the earl talking about? There are at most fifteen ships from the Romanus Chamber of Commerce that are expected to pass within three days. You have already checked twelve or three ships, but you haven't found any. Besides, I was asking my heart. No shame, where is the 'safety'?" Clark Romanus looked around:

"However, your subordinates are really working hard. There are so many cargo ships to check every day. I think there were a few knights missing yesterday. Will you be too busy today?"

"That doesn't bother the president." Cyril clasped his hands together in front of him, "They are young and full of energy, and it's normal for them to consume more... Ah, look what's coming?"

He pointed to the river, and Clark Romanus followed his pointing, but saw the flag of the Romanus Chamber of Commerce with the bull horn logo flying on the river. It was obviously another merchant ship from the Romanus Chamber of Commerce.

Clark was a little confused. He remembered the merchant ship of his chamber of commerce clearly. It was a merchant ship used to transport seaside crystal ore, and there would be no problem.

It's just that according to the original plan, it should arrive in Rutland tonight, not this time in the morning.

The young earl had already strode forward: "Maybe, this ship can give us some surprises?"

Clark Romanus felt an inexplicable thump in his heart. He didn't know where the sense of urgency came from, but all he could do was follow closely.

The cargo ship docked at the pier, and the planks were laid on the deck.The knights rushed forward, got into the cabin, brought out the sailors first, and gathered on the pier.

Those sailors all had bitter faces, and when they saw President Clark, they were even more trembling, almost crying.Clark was getting more and more disturbed by their expressions, and he wanted to go forward to ask, but Cyril happened to take a step across and blocked him behind.

"President Romanus, just watch here."

The young man's voice was still like the spring sun, and it fell into Clark Romanus' ears as the knights walked out of the cabin.But when he saw the scene on the deck clearly, the warm voice was like the roar of hell, making his whole body tremble——

The knights walked out of the cabin first, but Clark Romanus remembered that there were only five knights who entered the cabin, but there were more than a dozen knights who walked out.

Except for the first five people who walked in, the rest of the faces did not appear on the pier yesterday or today!

And after the knights, a muscular monk with his upper body naked came out.

Clark Romanus' face turned pale all of a sudden.

After the sudden arrival of the cargo ship on the first night, he immediately dispatched his men to investigate what happened to Ambroli on this route, the previous stop in Rutland.

Because that cargo ship was transporting the "things" that the young earl wanted to find out, it was originally planned to stop at Ambroli until the storm of this incident passed before setting sail.

Although the ordering party will be dissatisfied, and staying in Ambroli will increase consumption, but at least they will not be caught by the inspectors.

But the cargo ship appeared, but its contents disappeared.After Clark's investigation, he found out that a bald man had hijacked the ship, let the "cargo" escape, and ordered the ship to set off, which caused the ship to be stopped at the port of Rutland.

But at this moment, the bald man appeared on the ship that was supposed to transport the crystal ore, and at the same time, the knights who had disappeared for a long time appeared.

The bald head stopped at the door of the cabin, half bent down, as if to comfort someone huddled in the cabin, after a while, several short figures wrapped in cloaks followed him out of the cabin, tremblingly walked down the deck, Standing on the pier...

"Pfft!"

Clark Romanus' knees went limp, and he sat down on the ground. He wanted to crawl backwards and escape from the pier, but a cold silver light fell on his ear with a "clank". The icy cold air hit his side face directly, making him yell like a pig butcher: "Oh, don't, don't, I don't!"

"President Romanus, what are you panicking about?"

The young earl had already turned around and squatted halfway in front of him, half of the shining long sword in his hand sank into the brick floor beside him.

The smile on his face was still there, but at the moment it only reminded Clark Romanus of burning will-o'-the-wisps, twisted and dark.

"How come there are a group of little fellows who are not sailors appearing on your ship? Shall I let them come over and let you have a good look at them, are they your 'cargo'?"

The long sword was pulled out from the ground, and the blade lightly patted Clark's side face. He shook the fat on his cheeks tremblingly, and gasped, "No, absolutely not, this...these half-orc cubs should be smuggled Yes, sneaked onto our ship, yes, it must be this—”

His voice stopped abruptly.

He suddenly realized that the young earl didn't seem to have mentioned the word "orc", and those little guys wearing cloaks never approached or took off their cloaks.

He raised his head slightly, and the young earl turned his back to the sun. From his perspective, that handsome face was completely swallowed up by shadows at the moment, like a writhing darkness, which became more ferocious in his smile:
"Ah, half-orc cub? President Romanus, what are you talking about?"

Cyril's laughter gradually turned cold, and he took a step back, allowing several short figures in cloaks to take off their cloaks——

The moment the cloak came off, Clark's breathing stopped suddenly.He tilted his head and simply passed out.

Under the cloak, it wasn't the young half-orcs he had expected to be shot by the bald head.

It was just a bunch of normal kids.

The people of the Romanus Chamber of Commerce saw their president fainted suddenly, and they all wanted to surround him, but seeing the young earl with a sword in his hand and a group of knights, no one dared to move.

And Cyril didn't even look at President Romanus who passed out, he put one hand to his mouth and whistled vigorously.Amidst the long whistles, there was only a burst of violent hoofbeats, and then a dark horse with flames dancing on its back rushed out of the alley on one side.

The young earl jumped up, landed firmly on the horse's back, and then turned into a prairie fire and galloped away.

A group of knights on the pier also whistled at this time. Their war horses had already been on standby near the pier, and they rushed to the owner's side at this moment.

In an instant, more than [-] knights of the Assault Knights had assembled, and they immediately mobilized their horses and chased after the disappearing figure of their Lord Earl.

And the bald-headed, muscular man led several children to the Ms. Mage, clasped his hands together and nodded deeply, then, with bare feet, strode forward and chased after the knights without slowing down at all.

In just a few minutes, most of the crowded pier was empty.

The people of the Romanus Chamber of Commerce rushed forward to take care of the comatose president.But the young lady with long brown hair and a sweet smile tapped the long staff with a huge blue gemstone in her hand, making everyone dare not approach.

She led the three sisters Cecilia to the fainted Clark Romanus. With a light finger of the staff, a ball of water immediately wrapped Clark's head.President Romanus, who had just passed out just now, struggled. He slapped the water ball weakly with his hands, but he couldn't break it at all.

It wasn't until his face was red and swollen that he looked like he was about to suffocate that the water mass exploded and completely wet most of him.

He wiped his face a few times, covered his neck and gasped for breath, finally regained his composure, and when he looked up, he saw Cecilia Romanus standing in front of him.

"Cecilia, you, you climbed into the earl's bed, and you just want to come back and destroy your family?"

He immediately yelled: "I have seen it for a long time. The blockade of the port and the search of the cargo ship are all because of you. You charmed that young count and let him target me! This is my Romanus house, yes My chamber of commerce! You bitch, bitch, I should have given you to..."

However, Cecilia did not have the slightest anger on her face. On the contrary, she looked at Clark with a disdainful expression, hugged Irina tightly with her left hand, and let her youngest sister Roxana hold her hand with her right hand.

"He's gone to the manor."

She just said so lightly, and then the corners of her mouth gradually opened until it showed a strange arc that made people feel flustered.

"He knows the secret room in the basement and where you hide your slaves. He already knew."

Clark's heavy breathing stopped suddenly, his fat cheeks twitched, and then the snot and tears came out together.He knelt and crawled forward, reaching out to hug Cecilia's leg: "Niece, my good niece, uncle, it was uncle who made a mistake, we are, we are a family..."

"The law will punish you, Clark. As for the family... I just have Irina and Roxana, that's all."

Cecilia didn't even bother to show Clark an expression of disgust. She put her arms around her sisters, quickly took two steps back, and hid behind Miss Mage.After Clark saw Mia Christian's mage robe, he didn't dare to go any further. He could only lower his head and wipe his snot and tears on the stone bricks.

"Miss Christian, I don't have anything to say." She whispered to Mia sincerely, but she saw Miss Mage glance at her lightly, and that gaze made her shudder inexplicably, like a mage As if the lady was warning her——

Cecilia shook her head hastily. Miss Christian is notoriously good-tempered, so she must not be making a bad face at herself.

And Mia has also turned her head quickly. She held a long stick and signaled the guards who had arrived to handcuff Clark Romanus, and let the latter howl without saying a word.

It wasn't until the figure of Clark Romanus completely disappeared on the pier that she gently raised her staff and tapped it twice on the ground.

"Clean it up."

The gentle stream of water wipes away all traces of filth from the ground.

On the outskirts of the city in the distance, dark clouds gathered, and a flash of thunder tore through the day and exploded in the wilderness.

Thunder during the day.
