Although Bart no longer wants to be a subordinate of the nobles, he is soft-spoken and short-handed.
Bart looked at the money bag in his hand, and then thought about swallowing half of a roast lamb just now... He took up both food and food, and he really didn't have the confidence to refuse the other party's recruitment.
And most importantly, after the brief conversation and getting along with each other just now, the two even had a fight. He could feel from it that the red priest seemed to be fundamentally different from most nobles.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he knew that a typical noble wouldn't be a mercenary, and a typical noble mage didn't have the fierce melee attack style of the red priest. The speed is frighteningly fast, and they will feint.
I hope that the immediate boss this time is not the moody person like last time.
Bart looked at the purse in his hand, fifteen gold coins, which was a huge sum of money that he had never taken. What Beta said not long ago reappeared in his mind.
"It's time to change the sword." Bart muttered, then turned and walked towards the blacksmith's shop.
And in the hotel, Shirley was laughing on the bed... Just now, in the space of the mansion, she watched the show from beginning to end.
Beta was fooling around like a magic stick, and Bart was easily fooled, especially the latter's constipated expression before he 'run away', and his 'coquettish' running posture, all made her laugh wildly.
And Jessica started to work in the room... The little maid felt that it was her responsibility as a maid to create a clean space for the master no matter where she was.
She is very satisfied with her current life, eating enough every day and sleeping well. The only shortcoming is that my growth is too slow, and the steamed buns don't even grow up. When can I let the master touch it...
After Xueli finished laughing, she lay on Beta's back and asked, "Since you lack combat power, why don't you let Emma come over to help?"
Beta shook her head: "She is Hollevin's little princess. If she joins the envoy, the standard of the envoy will be too high. This is not the standard for meeting the allies, but it will give people a feeling of going to the suzerain. , by the way and the feeling of being close."
Shirley nodded: "That's true."
Beta continued: "It would be great if Kyle could come over to help, but this kid is busy raising children and has to learn to manage Winterwind City, so I don't want to bother him. Are there any other suitable candidates?"
"Actually, there is another person who is very suitable." Shirley hesitated, and said, "Sofia, the wife of the mayor."
Beta shook her head: "She's not suitable."
"Hee hee, don't lie to yourself." Shirley drew a circle on Beta's chest with her slender fingers: "Sophia is an assassin, her strength is close to the master level. Whether it is as a scout or as an anti-assassination force, she is extremely powerful." Useful. And most importantly, Sophia will not betray you, she has good social skills, if you want to completely control the mission, she can help."
Beta still shook her head: "She is not suitable to join our envoy."
"Beta, you're irrational this time." Shirley smiled and said, "It's because of her relationship with you, so you are right that she is not suitable. In fact, you can rest assured that there are too many people in the diplomatic mission. You want to do something, but there is no possibility."
Beta closed her eyes and didn't speak.
Shirley continued: "Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you have other better candidates, you can look for them."
In fact, Beta had to admit that Shirley made a lot of sense.
Sophia, the lady of the city lord, is quite suitable to join the mission. Both Alice and Katie have their own focus of work. Now that Alice has started to take over the Tonggu City, everything will be handled by her, so she is naturally exhausted. And Katie, as the bishop of the temple, couldn't spend a month running around with him.
In contrast, Sophia, the wife of the mayor, seemed extremely idle.
Although she is now the manager of Winterwind City in name, it is the couple Kyle and Barbara who are actually managing Winterwind City. She spends more time teasing her grandson.
After thinking about it for half an hour, Beta sighed and decided to follow Shirley's suggestion and bring Sophia into the mission. But before meeting Sophia, he had to meet someone else.
The city lord of Winterwind City and Lanbo Port, Uther.
Lanbo Harbor in winter is more lively than usual. Because of the heavy snow blocking the roads, it will become very difficult for land merchants, and Lanbo Port is an ice-free port. The more winters come, the more caravans come and go here. They rely on sea transportation to transport their goods to other countries. place.
Beta waited at least an hour in the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion before the dusty Uther came back from the outside.
It wasn't that Uther wanted to neglect Beta, but that he was besieging a tribe of bearmen that suddenly appeared in the forest on the outskirts of the city, so he wasted some time.
"It's really a distinguished guest." Uther took off his dusty coat, sat opposite Beta, and said in a calm tone: "Your Excellency Beta is here this time, there must be something important."
Beta looked at Uther for a while, and then said: "The eldest prince has given me a task. There are some troubles. I need manpower. So I want to borrow someone from you."
"Kyle?" Uther was a little strange: "He is your student, you have the right to order him to do anything, you don't need to confirm with me."
Beta said flatly: "It's not Kyle, it's your wife, Sophia."
Uther froze for a moment, then looked directly at Beta, and slowly asked, "Why her? Kyle is more suitable than her."
"I also hope that Kyle can come and help me." Beta said helplessly: "But now that Kyle is a father, I think Ms. Barbara doesn't want him to go around. The most important thing is that I lack a father." Can act as a scout in the team."
Uther is aware of his wife's strength, and she is getting stronger and stronger. As a scout, it is indeed more than enough.
Barbara is a little woman. Her greatest wish is to be with her husband and children all the time, and she doesn't want them to do anything dangerous.
Uther understood his daughter's character very well. He shook his head and said, "I am a man, and I will not allow my wife to be borrowed by another man."
"10% of the income from the gold mine." Beta patted the back of his left hand lightly with his right hand: "I remember that I have 20% of the income from the gold mine. If Ms. Sophia is willing to help me, then I am willing to give up 10% of it. Give it back to you."
Uther didn't think about it for three seconds, then smiled and said, "Deal! But I hope you can bring my wife back safely."
"It's natural."
Beta agreed lightly, then turned his head and looked out the window. Suddenly, he felt that the world was a bit boring.
It was too easy to borrow Sophia... It was so easy that he felt a little unexpected.
10% of the income from the gold mine is the same as that of his wife? Beta couldn't understand Uther's thoughts.
This is the people on earth, which conflicts with the concept of the natives of this world.
