Chapter 202 Chief Curibal
During the rest day, Helot was busy playing the game, leading the Burning Cavalry and the players from Scorched Earth City on a rampage in the northern plains, scaring the lords of the northern plains into panic. Deploying troops from the front line for defense greatly eased the pressure on friendly forces.
After the rest day, Helot came out of the game world, changed his role and went to work seriously.
When she returned to the apartment in the evening, Melis called Helot to her room and said that she had made an appointment with Coulibal, the director-general of the General Bureau of Commercial Investigation.
Melis looked at the time on a small pendulum clock on the table: "Director Coulibal should be arriving soon. I bought a new bag of nectar tea, do you want to try it?"
"Okay! Let's wait for Director Couliba while drinking tea."
Melis went to the kitchen to make tea. Herot heard that the spring in the small pendulum clock needed to be wound, so he opened the glass of the dial. The cover winds the mainspring.
Then he realized that this exquisite little pendulum clock was newly bought.
In the past, Melis never had to rely on external objects to judge time. She was an accurate clock herself. Then Helot discovered that there was not only this small pendulum clock in the room, but also some other furnishings, which added some color to the otherwise monotonous room.
This is a good sign, Melis is learning to adapt to the life that Covenant City should have.
After a while, Melis came out with two cups of tea: "The Rust Nobles moved very quickly! The Imperial Military Commission had just released the formation of the Rust Knights, and they had recruited 3,000 people.
Now they have placed weapons orders with major military factories in the empire. Most of these military factories are controlled by them. I believe that the Rust Knights will soon be able to obtain weapons to form combat effectiveness. "
Three thousand have heavy weapons. With a private army of firepower, the rust nobles will become even more unscrupulous in the future.
The fact that Emperor Bradley's control over the empire has weakened has also been put on the table.
Helot drank the tea made by Melis and said: "If you hadn't personally invited Director Coulibal, he would never have dared to come to see me."
Melis observed Helot's expression after drinking tea and did not forget to reply: "You are right. I found out that Earl Secombe went to see Chief Coulibal on the day of his death, but Coulibal Hiding.
When I invited him, he also made various excuses. Fortunately, he finally agreed.
By the way, I didn't tell you your identity. After he knew your identity, he really stopped coming.”
The descendants of the two founding dukes gathered together, and even if it was arranged by the emperor, Coulibal did not have the courage to come.
Helot said with a smile: "Now that he's here, we can't help him."
Melis finally couldn't help but asked: "Is the tea delicious?"
Helot took another sip: "It tastes good, I like this sweetness very much."
"I also like this kind of tea."
Helot and Melis drank tea and waited.
An inconspicuous taxi parked under the Golden Pine Apartment.
A man wearing a high-collar windbreaker and a wide-brimmed top hat stepped out of the car. He looked around cautiously, then took out money to pay the fare.
After the taxi left, he repeatedly confirmed that he was not being followed before walking towards the door of the apartment building.
Rhineham, who had been waiting here for a long time, greeted him: "Director Coulibal, you are very punctual!"
The person who came was none other than Coulibal. He saw Rhine After Hamm, he asked: "Do you work in this place?"
Rhineham replied: "The environment in the apartment building is complex, and it is easy to evacuate in case of danger. After all, what is the current situation in Covenant City? "The Chief must know." Chief Coulibal shrank his neck and hid his face under his collar: "His Royal Highness has such a distinguished status and lives here. It seems that the situation in Covenant City is worse than I imagined. It’s going to be bad.”
Reinham reminded: "There is no His Highness here, only Commander Melis. The one who wants to see you this time is our team leader, come with me..."
Curry Chief Baller followed Reinham into the apartment building, constantly guessing about the identity of the team leader.
To be qualified to have Princess Maelubelli as an assistant officer, the team leader should be a prince. But the princes all have high status, and it is impossible for them to personally do such a dangerous thing and offend noble officials.
Who is he?
Entering the crude old-style gate elevator, Coulibal shut his mouth and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Reinham chatted with the elevator manager Old Locke for a few words.
Arrived outside Melis' room, Reinham knocked on the door, and after the door opened a gap, he said to Coulibal: "Commander, here we are, our team leader and assistant officer are waiting inside. You."
Director Coulibal nodded to Reinham, arranged his clothes again, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
Entering the room, you saw Princess Maelubelli and a young man sitting on both sides of a small round table drinking tea.
Young people are unfamiliar.
But the status must be noble!
"Coulibal pays homage to this Lord and His Royal Highness the Princess!" Coulibal took off his hat and saluted.
Helot waved his hand and shaped a bone chair behind Coulibal, and said: "Please sit down, Chief Coulibal. Do you want tea?"
"I don't Thirsty...thank you!”
Coulibal looked at the bone chair behind him and sweat broke out on his head.
I heard that Earl Secombe died under undead magic, and was finally shattered to pieces by the corpse explosion of undead magic. I originally thought that the noble Princess Maelubelli would never hang out with a necromancer, but I didn't expect that there really was a necromancer.
Think again of the corpse puppet incident that occurred in Tieshi Community.
Could it be... could it be that Princess Maelubelli colluded with the prison!
Or is everything controlled by the Snow Duke?
Shouldn't have come!
Coulibal regretted it very much, but it was too late. The door behind him had been closed.
The helpless Coulibal sat down and asked: "Is there anything I can do for you two?"
"You don't have to be so afraid. Although I am a necromancer, I'm not a corpse stitcher in the deep prison." Helot saw Couribal's nervousness: "Melis didn't tell me my identity, so I'll introduce myself first. You must be able to guess my identity from my last name.”
The Necromancer, Claurende, is above Princess Maelubelli.
Koulibal felt that he had fallen into a tiger's den instead of a wolf's den.
In the remote northwest of the empire, Claude was a down-and-out family with no sense of existence. But once Claurende comes to Covenant City, the weight of this surname will become very subtle.
Covenant City is the place where Bradley I and his twelve brothers swore an oath. Now there are only three of the twelve brother families left, and their power has been weakened to varying degrees, and they are divided into Three completely unrelated places.
How did His Majesty bring the Claude family and the Erwin family together?
This reminded Coulibal of the "Blood Chaos".
