Chapter 409 - Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Desert Castle (2/2)
The woman rolled her eyes and didn’t say anything more, leaving on her own accord.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown; he always felt that the woman from just now wasn’t simple, as there was an extremely odd tattoo engraved on her neck.
“Was that woman your wife?” Chen Yu tentatively asked.
“No!” Luo Sanpao replied with some helplessness, “I saved her from the desert, and since she knows many places there where treasures are hidden, I had her stay.”
Chen Yu nodded, seeing that the relationship between Luo Sanpao and the woman seemed to be purely a business one.
After a satisfying meal, Luo Sanpao arranged rooms for everyone.
The rooms here were both luxurious and spacious, quite nice indeed.
Chen Yu was just getting ready to freshen up when a rapid knocking sound came from the door.
Upon opening it, he saw it was the same woman from before.
Chen Yu had no desire to get entangled with this woman.
“Madam, what can I do for you?”
The woman, looking around the corridor cautiously, barged straight in and then took out a Token from her person.
It was a Token of the Knights of the Round Table, specially equipped for reliable people under one’s command.
Chen Yu showed no sign of surprise. He had already known her identity when he had scanned her personal information earlier.
“What’s the matter?”
The woman knelt on one knee: “Sir, I have already investigated, and there is a treasure hidden beneath this castle. If you are interested, I could present it to you.”
Chen Yu scoffed, sensing that the woman clearly wanted to claim credit before him in order to secure a better status within the Knights of the Round Table.
“I’m not interested in the treasure here, but since you have been here for such a long time, you must have found quite a few treasures, right? Can you show me?”
The woman seemed slightly taken aback and hesitant, but the next moment, she solemnly agreed and led the way out of the room.
Before long, she led Chen Yu to a side door in the hall.
“Mr. Chen, this is where treasures are usually kept in the castle; what’s stored here could rival the wealth of nations.”
Chen Yu merely stood at the door for a moment, and all the images inside appeared in his mind.
“It’s just some gold, silver, and jewels. I thought there might be something more peculiar.”
The woman instantly tensed up, hurriedly pulling out a wooden box from her person, and soon, the strange scent of ambergris spread throughout the hall.
“This is ambergris I found in a treasure cave, quite the quality item. Please accept it as a gift for our first meeting.”
Chen Yu glanced sideways, considering this fine item would be an excellent gift for Tong Ya.
“The item is nice; I like it! What’s your request?”
The woman seemed to have been waiting for these words, and quickly knelt down in front of Chen Yu.
“I hope you will allow me to become your personal guard.”
The request didn’t seem particularly special, but on some level, it was tantamount to changing the woman’s life.
Once someone became a guard for the Knights of the Round Table, they would be joining the core circle of the Knights.
Not only could she come into contact with realms she couldn’t reach before, but she would also get access to more resources.
She might even acquire things she wouldn’t dare to dream of otherwise.
