Chapter 1356 Advance Remuneration
“Tsk, tsk, it’s the first time I come to my secret little stronghold, I always feel a little excited.”
The boss behind the counter is the mass-producer Under the guidance of the Four of Hearts, Scarlett sneaked underground through the trap door inside the wine cabinet, and found the 'dressing room' specially prepared for herself at the end, and walked in with a rather excited expression.
Joining the [Harlequin Card] was an accident within an accident for Scarlett Diesel. She really didn’t expect that she was just visiting the Violet Empire. The mentor, Archduke Fernando 'Mercury Core Fernando', was somehow involved in the coup in that empire.
However, even though I didn’t understand the ins and outs of the matter, I went to the royal capital Salamoon with Archduke Fernando (at that time, the archduke thought he really wanted to discuss the plague issue, so he took her there to play). Carrie was very motivated. Not only did she participate in the investigation team as a member of the Fernando family [Irongate Guards], but she also later appeared as a member of Archduke Fernando's guard during the Marshall Territory crusade. Adding trouble to the Grand Duke who already had few hairs left.
And just after the battle, I don't know who I heard it from, but the man named Anthony Dabbs actually found me privately and sent out an interesting invitation.
To put it simply, I hope that Scarlett Diesel will become a member of a public welfare organization. She does not need to fulfill too many obligations and can receive a lot of benefits every month. The most important thing is that it is fun. Interesting not boring.
It must be said that this proposal is exactly what Scarlett wants. After all, this girl is not an idle person. As long as she is a direct member of the Diesel family, she spends all her time Just sharpen your head and want to run out of the grassland.
Unlike Liadrin, although Scarlett is a very talented knight, her sense of responsibility and honor is not strong. Even if she is not as unconventional as Jadka, she can still be considered a jumper. I'm a freak of stripping, I usually like it the most She is a troublemaker and can't sit still. She was allowed to leave the grassland to study in the Fernand family. The reason for this is that Scarlett is really talented in playing with shields. The main reason is that she is too noisy and can do it every day. A tormenting person who changes his ways.
To be honest, this girl's personality is more suitable for opening a tavern or nightclub in a place like the Free City or Anka Market than being a glorious Diesel Cavalry in the Cassero Grassland.
All in all, Scarlett, who had already finished the war and was about to return to the Cassero grassland, could not withstand the temptation at all. She was blocked in the room by the man who called himself 'Anthony Dabbs' and chatted for less than three minutes. I agreed to the other party when I was little, and accepted the [Seven of Clubs] card half-heartedly.
A few months after that, Scarlett, who returned to the grassland, established a stable relationship with [Harlequin Brand]. However, regrettably, the person who contacted her subsequently was always a person claiming to be The leader of [King of Hearts] is not the 'ghost card' that smiles evilly and pleases me.
That’s right, although that person’s code name in the organization should technically be [King], Scarlett still likes to call him by another name, which is ‘Ghost Card’.
She felt that the latter was more in line with the man's temperament than 'King'.
After that, Scarlett, who couldn't rest, naturally got a place in an exchange group, and followed Galahad to Academy City, and met him on the day of arrival. Here comes the [King of Hearts].
Foster Ward, although Liadrin and the others were not familiar with this name, Scarlett, who had been actively absorbing information from the outside world, knew how great this man was. In addition to being surprised, she was also fascinated by that photo. It was astonishing that Guipai could recruit such people into his staff.
Inexplicably, Scarlett’s sense of belonging to the [Harlequin Card] has become stronger.
Many people seem to have this situation, that is, when you find out that a person you think is very powerful and formidable is actually a member of an organization, and you happen to be in it, no matter what you have said to him before, The perception of the organization may suddenly rise in a short period of time.
When the matters related to the [Comprehensive Knight Fighting Competition] were finalized, Scarlett actually received another contact from the K, and found that the other party not only knew the tactical arrangements of the Diesel delegation, but even I specially prepared some 'backup means' for myself, which could just make up for several possible hidden dangers in the original plan.
‘Win the team finals’, Scarlett Diesel never expected that this would be the first task she received since joining [Harlequin Card].
To be honest, even though she was a formal member of the exchange group, Scarlett probably couldn't muster the energy to fight for the honor of her family. But after the King of Hearts contacted her, this The girl was on fire at that moment.
Those who find mysterious organizations interesting are not just players like Mu Xuejian who are a little bit good at it, but there are also NPCs who can't stop thinking about things all day long.
All in all, Scarlett Diesel rarely went all out, which is the core reason why she rushed to Liadrin's side in the finals to cover her retreat.
It is true that she likes her sister Leia very much, but this reason is not enough for Scarlett to use 120% of her power to save her in a situation that does not harm her life. Really, she finds it troublesome.
However, Scarlett still failed to use the 'backup method' after all, because the direction of the battle was too tightly controlled. Even though the Paladin Knight Academy was very tenacious, and even though Mu Xuejian was so strong that it was suffocating, But it was still clearly arranged by Brother Mo, and no unplanned situation occurred until the end.
After that, everything was quiet for a while, until three days ago, Scarlett, who was bored, received contact again, and it was outside of routine communication.
That is a rather interesting anonymous commission. [Harlequin Card] has already accepted it, and after studying and discussing the 'ghost card' and the King of Hearts, it was agreed that Scarlett is very suitable to participate. in this mission.
The content is very simple, that is - 'Kill an official member of the Miracle City delegation'
To be honest, Rao is Scarlett Diesel who is far away I have an above-average mental capacity, but when I received the specific task content, I was completely frightened. My head hit the bed board, and I was a little confused.
She knows that there are many bullies in the organization, but she also knows that [Harlequin Card], as an emerging evil force... er, a charity organization, actually does not have a very strong foundation, so this matter It’s really a bit outrageous!
Assassinating a person is not a problem. As long as it is a stranger whom she does not know, Scarlett's three views are not so correct. If the other person is not a good person, there is nothing to say. Even if the person is not a heinous person, it is just because of different stances. It's not like she has never done anything to kill her.
Assassinating a person from the City of Miracles is somewhat problematic. After all, the existences that can be included in the sphere of influence of the City of Miracles are basically bull figures, or people standing at the upper level of the pyramid of the mage world. Either their apprentices or their associates.
Assassinating an official member of the Miracle City delegation is really a bit too much.
You must know that most of the forces are different from the Diesel family who treat the exchange meeting as a big vacation (plus horse trading). Take the United Holy Church as an example. The entire exchange group only has seven people, namely Mo Tan, Yu Chen, and Blake are trainee members, Yi Zao is the guard, as are the official members Archbishop Spralda, Master Tom, and Saint of Fortune Fiari.
Among these six people, in addition to Yi Zuo, even the three trainee members are respectively the Saint of Dawn, the Son of the Sun and the new generals of the Dawn Sect. Their compositions can be said to be Quite in place.
In other words, the situation in the City of Miracles is not much different...
Uh... it should be about the same?
Before revealing the details of the mission, Scarlett actually had a little bit of luck.
Well, it was gone after I opened it. The information sent by the King of Hearts was very clear. The City of Miracles only sent a total of three people this time. One of them was the [Tuning Sage] from the Parliament of Truth, and another trainee member was from the Artificial Magic Eye family. The eldest lady Evie Lehman, and then... is the target of this mission, a high-level mage named Futaba. Although his strength and qualifications are not enough, he still relies on a paper to let [Kiritsuki Ken Author] Kenneth A. Azizolti became its sponsor and became a formal member of the delegation as a 'Miracle City Scholar', a real rising star and rising star.
Not only that, according to the reality in the data appendix, that Futaba is even the sister of [The Sage of the Mist Moon], the apprentice of the great astrologer Diana A. Azizolti. The latter also came here, although the representative It was the Archizolti family, not the City of Miracles, but the two of them had been living together since they came to Academy City.
Are you actually entrusted to participate in the assassination of such a person?
Scarlett was dumbfounded at the time. She always felt that no matter whether the deal was successful or not, she might not have a place for her on the entire continent the next day.
The Diesel family is indeed a powerful family and is undoubtedly the number one family of knights. However, one of its members assassinated a scholar from the City of Miracles for no reason, and he was also a scholar with such a strong background. This matter Once exposed, I'm afraid Darien won't be able to protect him.
It is true that the Diesel family has legendary strong men, and they are probably the strongest lords in the world, but there are more legends in the floating city. Those [XX Sages] in the Parliament of Truth ], but they are all real [Sages]! A sage who has the same meaning as the great lord!
To be honest, if it weren't for the more than ten pages of detailed plans and risk assessments attached to the information, Scarlett would have torn up the pile of things brought by the person who sent the K of Hearts on the spot.
But...
I have to say that [Harlequin Card] really put a lot of effort into this operation, and after carefully reading the operation plan, Scarlett found that as long as she strictly followed it Therefore, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, the chance of 'Scarlett Diesel' being discovered is infinitely close to zero. Even if she is exposed, the King of Hearts also implicitly revealed that the law enforcement team will Do your best to help clear the relationship and even create evidence...
The risk is just that you are the assassination target of a high-level peak mage, and the information in this regard is also extremely detailed. Not only is the double mentioned above Ye is a full-scale mage, and his ability assessment in all aspects is also very detailed, even the personality of the opponent is written in, as if... a roundworm in Futaba's belly has rebelled.
Gan! Still don’t do it! This is a problem.
And when Scarlett began to think about this question seriously, the answer was actually self-evident.
......
"Really, it's a bit too exciting anyway."
The strength is also at the peak of high-level, and he has studied abroad in the Fernan family for seven years. , Scarlett, who has won the true inheritance of the current [Imperial Iron Gate] Archduke Mercury Fernando, is not weak. In fact, in one-on-one duels, she has surpassed most of the same high-level peaks. As a professional, even Liadrin may not be able to benefit from Scarlett who is going all out.
But——
If the information provided by the King of Hearts is true, the Free City scholar named Futaba, who is at the same high-level peak as himself, is probably...
"At the level of a big monster."< br>
Scarlett, who had already changed her outfit, sighed deeply and put a gray cloak on herself.
Now she has put on a set of silver-gray full-body armor. The style is very slim. There are two sets of magic scrolls and dozens of magic scrolls stuck in the two huge wrist guards with somewhat uncoordinated proportions. Magic gem, and a black one-handed war hammer hanging on his waist, which looks quite fierce.
But these are not the point. The most important thing is a dark purple diamond-shaped shield stuck on Scarlett's right arm.

……
“I love advance payment~”
Scarlett gently stroked the shield on her arm and placed a gentle kiss on it——
“I love [Harlequin]~”
