"She's gone?" Anna asked after seeing her disappear.
Lance nodded: "Yes."
Anna breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some confusion: "Your Highness, what do you want these things for?"
"I want to do something before I leave." Lance smiled slightly: "Do you know what an extrajudicial sanctioner is?"
Anna was confused: "What is that?"
"You can understand it as a character who specializes in punishing people outside the law. Forget it, there are no laws in this world. You can understand it as a character who specializes in punishing bad people who have done bad things but have not been punished."
Anna blinked: "Ranger?"
Lance thought about what a ranger was and then nodded: "A little stronger than that."
"You want to be a ranger?"
"Why not?" Lance shrugged.
"But..." She was confused: "Why do you suddenly want to become a knight-errant on a whim?"
He smiled slightly: "Anna, let me ask you. If there is a ranger hiding in the shadows in this city, a ranger who has never been caught but is punishing those nobles again and again, then what will happen to those nobles?"
"What's the point of asking? For the ranger who have never been caught, those nobles must be..." Anna was slightly stunned when she said this and then her eyes widened. "Panic!"
"That's right." Lance smiled: "As long as your reputation is loud enough, this identity will become the most important part on the day you leave here!"
In the afternoon, Barbara came back. She came back from walking in the shadows, but as soon as she approached Lance, he was directly pointed out her position.
When the succubus walked out of the shadows, she still looked unhappily: "What are you doing, can't you give me some face?"
"Why is there so much nonsense?" He asked, "What's the result?"
Barbara jumped on the chair. Although this gril in her twenties looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, she was obviously quite reliable: "The price is really not high if there are gossips without any evidence. Only one hundred gold coins, but they need to sort out the materials. Someone will send it over tonight. Boss, all you need to do is prepare the money. "
"Send it over?" Lance was a little nervous: "Did you tell them who wanted to buy it?"
She waved her hands: "No, I didn't. But that's the way this organisation is. They're going to find out on their own. Anyone who's ever worked with them, they're going to find out their deltail. They call this a manifestation of strength. You know, there are many people who want to overthrow this Dark Brotherhood, but no one ends well. "
Seeing his hesitation, she smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss! The Brotherhood abides by its agreement. They will try their best to protect the privacy of their customers and no one can pry into it."
However, Lance sneered: "But if someone has enough gold coins..."
She chuckled: "Privacy protection also needs gold coins. This organization always needs money to operate, right? It's difficult for an organization to cost money to do things but also distribute it to the members of the organization, right? "
"So, they will attach themselves to everyone they come into contact with, constantly sucking blood. For example, the so-called privacy protection." Anna suddenly spoke from the side: "There are also new business introductions, or remind you of some troubles."
"Hey." Barbara's eyes lit up: "Little magician, how do you know this?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Anna's eyes widened: "Besides, I'm older than you!"
Barbara looked at what was under Anna's mage robe and curled her lips: "I think it's easy for me to be older than you."
Lance interrupted their argument and asked: "So, what relationshp I may have with the Dark Brotherhood in the future?"
"Anyone who has come into contact with them cannot break away from the relationship." Anna sighed: "Even if you are not looking for them, they will come to you."
Lance's expression became serious. After a while, he suddenly laughed, "That's quite interesting."
"You'd better not be so relaxed, Your Highness." Although Anna didn't know what he was thinking, she still reminded: "You are not the only one who want to use the Dark Brotherhood."
"As long as you pay, it's enough, right?" Lance smiled slightly: "Many things have proven that things that can be solved with money will never be called problems."
"That's right!" Barbara raised her head with a proud look on her face: "There is nothing in this world that gold coins can't solve!" With that said, she blinked and looked at him: "So boss, why do you want this information?"
Lance didn't hide anything and said directly: "Are you interested in robbing the rich and giving to the poor?"
She instantly became excited: "It's okay to steal from the rich! But can I refuse to give to the poor?"
Lance wanted to give himself a slap in the face. Why do I forgot that this girl can't even spare a single gold coin!
But seeing Anna's solemn expression, he knew that he had achieved his goal.
How do you get a person to trust you? It's actually not difficult, as long as you two have a common secret. And when the other party thinks this secret is very useful, but it isn't so important to you, an unfair trust contract has already been formed.
Sebastian came back in the afternoon and brought good news. The scroll was bought by a big noble. According to Lance's price, it was sold for 999 gold coins!
Lance took all the money from this sale but didn't touch the mansion's funds. After all, it still needed daily operations.
Sebastian was a very sensible steward. He didn't ask him what he wanted the gold coins for. He just gave Lance the gold coins and left.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine gold coins were placed in ten bags with each bag of one hundred gold coins. But they were not heavy. Lance weighed a gold coin which is about 25 grams.
Barbara looked at the bag containing the gold coins and her eyes glowing. Lance was unequivocal and threw a gold coin to her: "Your errand fee."
"Thank you, boss!" She excitedly grabbed the gold coins still in the air, just like catching a frisbee, then put the gold coin in her mouth and shook it. After doing so, she curled her lips: "Tsk, southern gold coin, the gold content is only 50%."
Lance was shocked: "Can you see this? Is your mouth a metal detector?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Barbara said, "This is basic knowledge, okay? Boss, when you look at the patterns on the gold coins, you can see that they were cast by those insect swarms in the south. The gold content of their gold is low because they themselves like to eat metal. Let me tell you, Your Highness. The most valuable gold coin in the world was forged by those dwarves, whose gold content is 90%! "
Seeing her excited look, he was startled and his sense of the reality of this world deepened again.
"By the way, Anna." He shook his head and looked in Anna's direction: "The materials in your ring are limited. If you need anything, remember to report it to Sebastian. He will help you purchase raw materials."
Anna looked at him in disbelief: "Really?"
"Don't look at me with that expression. How can we make magic creations without materials. One thousand gold coins are far from enough to satisfy me." Lance seemed to say generously, but he gave Barbara a calm look.
This succubus girl grinned with an expression that reassured others. Although she didn't know what he wanted to do, she knew that her boss seemed to enjoy watching these humans mess around.
After saying this, Lance put away the gold coins and asked: "And Anna, all your magic will cause explodsion, right?"
Anna's face turned red immediately: "Don't insult people's innocence out of thin air! At least, there is no problem with some blessing magic!"
"That's good." Lance nodded: "I need some magic or props to cover my breath, preferably something that can even be hidden from the sense of a saint-level master. Do you have any?"
She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "It's impossible to hide it from the saint-level master, but I can make something to hide my breath from the ordinary people."
Lance had an sure enough expression on his face, "Then make some. We may need it in the next few days."
Anna hid the secret of the Breath Hiding Stone, which was what Lance wanted to see.
