Chapter 2006 The Strange Mission of the Electoral King II
After several guards were dismissed, only the king, queen and his guard chief were left in the room.
The election king said: "There is one thing that I can't wait any longer, and I hope to leave it to you and your team."
"What is it, Your Majesty, please tell me. "
The election king motioned to the guard captain. The captain of the guard took a scroll and walked up to Scar and handed it to him. The election king said: "Please help me find the person in the portrait."
The portrait shows a child, who appears to be under 12 years old, wearing an algae-green robe, shorts and stockings.
Scar asked casually: "Who is this little guy?"
The Elector King said: "She is our child, uh... my daughter."
< br>"Girl? I thought it was a boy, I couldn't tell."
The queen coughed.
Scar realized that he had made a mistake and smiled awkwardly.
The election king said: "Our child is lost. The queen and I are anxious every day. Please find her as soon as possible. The queen and I really can't wait any longer."
" It's not a big problem to find her. I want to ask how long she has been missing..." At this point, Scar Suddenly stopped: "Wait, that's not right. Your child is lost, and you ask our mercenary group to find it? You are the king. In this country, you are looking for someone who is much better than our little mercenary group. No You need to find us."
"This..." The election king touched his beard and lowered his eyes to the table.
Scar looked at the girl in the portrait, then at the king and queen, and said: "To be offensive, Your Majesty, the girl in this portrait does not look like your couple's child. You two The hair color of the girl is shiny and golden, while the hair color of the girl in the painting looks a bit golden, but more like silvery white.”
The election king said: "She is our adopted daughter."
"Adopted daughter?" Scar felt that he was not telling the truth: "But you still haven't answered why you hired a mercenary group to find your lost daughter? I think this kind of thing should be looked for more reliably by our own people, instead of looking for outsiders. Otherwise, spreading it will only make the common people laugh."
"How do you know I didn't. Mobilize the people around you to find them?" The election king suddenly stood up and slapped the table, and said angrily: "Just go find the person and don't ask too many questions about why. If you find the person, I will reward you heavily. That's it. Do you understand? ?”
The queen took the king’s arm: “My dear, calm down, sit down and talk.”
The election king took a deep breath and sat back down.
Scar held the drawing paper and was stunned for a long time. He shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, Your Majesty, there are too many unreasonable things in your words. My team is really in trouble recently and I really want to earn your money, but I don't want to mess with you." What a big trouble. So I'm afraid I can't take this business. If you can't tell me the truth, then I can only say goodbye." After saying that, he returned the drawing paper to the guard captain and turned to leave.
“Wait a minute.” The queen stopped him and turned to the election king: “Tell him the truth. If you don’t tell the truth, it will be difficult for another team to find someone for us.”< br>
The election king was silent for a long time, and it took him a while to say He slapped his hand on the table helplessly: "Okay, tell me I can tell you the real situation, but you can't tell this matter anyway. It's best if no one else tells it."
Scar is curious. Okay, what could make the king so helpless?
The Elector King was silent for a while and said slowly: "The child does not belong to me and the queen. She is the daughter of the Consul of Dismansi. I accidentally lost her." After saying this, the king was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped listlessly on his seat, his face full of despair and pain.
Scar thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I still don't understand. If the child is lost, just find it. Why do you have to be so mysterious?" Seeing that her husband had lost the energy to speak, the queen said to herself: "Sir, you don't know something. My husband and I The two are distantly related to the wife of the West Consul. The West Consul is harsh and never takes care of Asuna, but he always criticizes her severely, so Asuna often comes to see her. My husband and I came here to play, it would make her feel more relaxed and at ease. With the recent natural disasters, the West Consul was too busy to take care of the children. As a result, Ashina sneaked away alone. When she came to our place, luckily nothing happened to her on the way, so we quickly sent a letter, and her mother happily agreed to let us take care of her for a while. A few days ago, my husband and I were on a nationwide tour due to a disaster, and Ashina lost it inexplicably."
"How did she lose it?"
" I don’t know either. There were a lot of people in the convoy, so I asked a few servants to play with Ashina, but this child liked to run around, but the servants didn’t notice and disappeared in less than a minute. At that time, I quickly mobilized a few reliable people to search around, but I could not find him during the day, at night, and the next afternoon. I could only arrange for people to continue searching in private, but the number of people who could mobilize was limited. Only then did he think of asking for help from reliable mercenaries."
Scar was puzzled again: "Why can we only do it privately and not in a big way?"
The queen said: "Because this matter must not be known to the West Consul. Although he doesn't care about the children, he pays close attention to them. The key is that he has a bad temper and is very violent. If he knows that Ashina ran to us It's lost here. I don't know what he will do."
The election king said with a pale face: "I know that person, he will kill me, he really will. "
The queen closed her eyes and sighed softly, shedding tears and said: "So this matter cannot be publicized, and we husband and wife dare not mobilize the entire palace to look for it, because if we do so, the Western Consul will know. The truth of the matter. We can only make up an excuse, saying that Asheina was ill and was taken back to the palace by my maid to recover."
Scar understood the reason.
The Queen said: "I have briefly investigated the reputation of your mercenary group just now. To be honest, we should not have entrusted this matter to a mercenary group that we don't know well so rashly, but time Five days have passed and we can't wait any longer. After these two days of inspection, we found that your Bloody Mercenary Group is the only one reliable in the nearby places. So please don't let us down and help us find the child. As for the reward, we will pay it no matter how much it is after we find the child. Didn't you say that your mercenary group is in trouble now? I can pay it immediately. I will give you one million gold coins as the cost of finding the child.”
The captain of the guard took out a stack of gold coupons and placed them on the table.
Scar looked at the money, and he was indeed deceived. With this money, the group's current predicament could be overcome, but he still thought about it calmly and said: "Is it possible that it was a kidnapping? ? Or someone from the convoy kidnapped the child?"
The queen said: "We have thought about all the possibilities you mentioned, but there must be a purpose for kidnapping people. We have not received a blackmail letter from the kidnappers. I have also sent trustworthy people around me to investigate everyone in the patrol team. No whereabouts have been found yet. But the king and I are more inclined to think that she got lost. Asheina is too naughty. She is watched too closely at home. She always likes to run around when she comes out. Otherwise, she would not have come all the way from Disman by herself. Her family has traveled more than 1,500 kilometers here, and she still has Just a ten-year-old child."
"...This case is difficult to handle. What if I can't find it?"
"Please don't say that, please. , please help us find the child," the queen begged.
"This..." Scar knew that this task was difficult to take on, and he didn't know what the consequences would be if he couldn't find anyone. However, when he saw the photo of the female mayor Sally on the shelf in the corner, his heart With her heart pounding, she agreed: "We have accepted this task, but I want to sign a liability exemption agreement with you, and there is an additional condition."
The queen said: "I know what you want to sign. , I can promise you on behalf of the king that I will never hold you responsible for anything. , But you must find someone, and you must find him alive, otherwise I will not give you anything. As for the additional conditions, please tell me."
Scar looked at the photo and said: "Dear you. Queen, could you please I want to make an appointment with Mayor Sally. I want to treat her to dinner.” It’s not a matter of trying, it’s a certainty.”
"Okay, definitely." The queen said: "Before that, I will tell you the details of what happened before and after the child was lost."
"Okay."
