An Wen pressed his left hand on the open picture book, and held the mysterious pearls burst out by the snake man warlock in his right hand, and was carefully comparing them.
That's right, this should be this. Except for a circle smaller than the pearls drawn on the picture book, the other features are very consistent with what is described above.
Unexpectedly, the snake man warlock was actually a treasure monster. He should have been gentle to it at the beginning. It was still too rough to cut it into two pieces with one knife. I was a little sorry for the gift it gave.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
A light knock came from outside the bedroom door. An Wen frowned. Is there a little more knocking sound this afternoon? Can't it be quieter?
Although he felt a little impatient, An Wen knew that it was not the maids' fault, so he could only speak patiently.
"Come in."
The maid Xilu pushed open the door and walked in.
"Master, Knight Chief Carlo Lawton of District 98, is here to visit and is waiting in the reception room of the side hall. Do you have time?"
Captain Lawton? What did he come to do? Could it be that he came here to cause trouble for the morning matter? It should be unlikely?
An Wen was a little confused, so he closed the picture book and stood up.
"Xilu, get me a piece of clothing and put this pearl in the open-air spire of the castle."
"Okay, master."
Xilu took the pearl from An Wen's hand, put it into the maid's skirt, and then found a slightly formal home clothes from the bedroom wardrobe, serving him to put them on, and then took out a wooden comb to combed An Wen's messy hair.
After everything was sorted out, An Wen led the maid to open the bedroom door and walked out one after another.
Walking along the arched corridor, passing through the second floor activity room, and going down from the left stairs, it is the reception room of the side hall. An Wen stretched out his hand to push open the carved wooden door.
"Welcome! Knight Lawton, I'm glad you can come and be a guest."
"That's my honor, Lord Earl."
On the sandalwood sofa in front of the fireplace in the reception room, a middle-aged man wearing a night watchman's dress stood up. His body was as strong as a bear, wearing the loose dress with tight skin. Under his gray short hair, a pair of silver eyes contained a hint of sharpness.
Hey, it seems that this knight leader is not a nobleman with a gilded and mixed qualifications, but a rare practical faction.
"It's too polite to say that. Captain Lawton, as a colleague patrolling District 98, we still have many opportunities to get along in the future. It's not very good to be too polite."
Anwen walked towards Knight Laudon with a smile, and reached out to signal him to sit down, while instructing the maid behind him to take tea.
"Since Lord Earl said this, it would be rude."
Seeing An Wen treating others with gentle and politeness, not like the kind of young man who was successful and arrogant, Knight Lawton was obviously relieved, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
After all, the privileges of the Count of Lanterns are too heavy and they have absolute force. They are like being close to the beasts that eat humans. There is not much difference between the two, and they are both characters who can kill human lives at any time.
An Wen saw the nervousness of Knight Lawton, so he did not ask him directly about his purpose. Instead, he pulled him to talk about his experiences in the world. After a while, he successfully dispelled Knight Lawton's vigilance.
To some extent, practical people like Knight Lawton are actually quite simple. As long as they grasp their preferences, they will still be very happy to get along.
Seeing that they were almost familiar with each other, An Wen brought the topic to the main point.
"Captain Lawton, is there anything wrong with coming here today?"
An Wen picked up the black tea and sipped it, and asked casually.
"There are some things that need to be told to the Earl that the Trick Elite Knight who offended you this morning was recommended by the Fisheries Association, but I checked it today and it seems that it is not just that, but for some special reasons, the investigation has been resisted, so I am afraid I can't give you an explanation. I'm very sorry."
Knight Lawton said apologetically.
"Don't worry, it's just a small offense, so that's all."
An Wen waved his hand and signaled that the master knight would not take it seriously. Then he waved his hand and called the maid and whispered a few instructions. The maid nodded and walked out of the reception room. After a while, he pushed the door and returned to An Wen, handing over a golden ticket.
"In the morning, I was in a bad mood because I had been fighting in the inner world all night. I am sorry for the death of Trick Knight. These Jinnars will be used as compensation. I hope Trick Knight's family will not be too sad. After all, life still needs to continue, right?"
Anwen put the gold ticket on the short table in the middle of the sofa and pushed the Knight Lawton over. The face value of 300 jinars was very sincere. Knight Lawton hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to pick up the gold ticket.
"Since that's the case, I will accept it for the family of Knight Trick, thanks to Lord Earl for his generosity."
"No need to do so. I just hope that this little Kinner can compensate the Trick Knight's family a little. If they can calm their resentment, I will be very happy."
An Wen picked up the black tea on the short table, took a sip of it casually, and said something meaningfully.
"Don't worry, Lord Earl, the family of Trick's Elite Knight, will surely remember your generosity."
"I hope so."
While An Wen said, he tasted a mouthful of black tea again. Captain Laughton was very eye-catching and quickly got up to take his leave. An Wen did not try to keep him and asked the captain maid to see him off.
Looking at the Knight Lawton who disappeared outside the door, An Wen was silent for a while, stood up with black tea, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the sunny garden outside the window.
Is 300 kinardo? It's a huge sum of money for ordinary people in Jinghu City, equivalent to 10 years of income. However, for an elite knight who watches the night watch, it's not as much as you imagined, let alone exchange it for life.
Of course, Anwen can also be silent, and no one can say anything more. No matter what the reason is, the Trick elite knights are offended first. But in that case, Anwen's image in the mouths of ordinary people will be completely ruined, and he might even bear some bad reputation of being stingy, irritable, and bloodthirsty. This is not a good reputation for a lantern count.
Forget it, just think of spending money to maintain your reputation. Thinking about it, 300 kinners is really worth it.
