What Meivis said seemed to be asking an idiot, which made no sense, but in fact, she was not an idiot at all, and what she asked was also very reasonable.
The three people present, Patriarch Fashu and Meiweisi are both nobles, both of them have the peculiar thoughts of nobles, it is the instinct of nobles to use their noble status to seek protection from others, and this is also the privilege brought by their noble status, and convenience.
And in many cases, a seemingly rude word can stimulate people, but it can stimulate people's nature, which itself is one of the little social skills.
But what Meivis didn't expect was that Beta didn't play cards according to common sense. He didn't get angry or dismiss it coldly, but said something very ordinary:
We are not familiar with each other.
This reason is very good, and Meivis can't continue talking at once. If Beta agrees sternly, then it means that Beta is a passionate young man who can "guide" very well. If Beta is disdainful and indifferent , or pretentiously dodging the past, then it shows that Beta is an old fritters just like them.
But this ordinary, even somewhat straightforward attitude made it difficult for them to guess Beta's character, because they had never seen such a nobleman, or a professional.
The three of them glanced at each other, and then the black-armed Jivado spoke first, with a strange light shining in his small eyes: "Well, since everyone is not an honest person, let's talk about it , Your Excellency Beta, how can you protect us?"
As the night gradually approached, the scope of the sun-drenched magic decreased slightly. Beta tapped the table lightly, and instead of answering Ghivado's question, he asked instead: "You and the city lord Joshua have both" Misunderstand'?"
The faces of the three of them were all a little weird, and for a long time, Patriarch Fashu stroked his mustache and said, "Actually, this is not too secretive. You must have heard what Yarlin said just now. We did make an appointment with you." The owner of Shuya had a misunderstanding, our family had a conflict with the owner of the city in business, the black arm organization was in his way, and Meiweisi was unwilling to marry a confidant of Joshua, so she was hated .”
Beta nodded, and then suddenly asked: "You seem to look down on me, why, we should meet for the first time!"
These words are too direct, and such conversations that directly point to the root of the problem rarely occur among the nobles. Patriarch Fashu was extremely uncomfortable, and his throat was choked for a while before he said: "Since you asked, then I will speak directly. You helped Joshua to the position of city lord, you wanted to raise a dog, but you raised a white-eyed wolf, this kind of vision is really bad."
It turned out to be the case, Beta understood what was going on, he looked at Givaldo, and Meivis asked: "That is to say, in fact, you all know my identity."
None of the three spoke, but in many cases, silence represented acquiescence.
After a while, Givaldo said: "Joshua is so young, but he was able to grab the position of the city lord in the chaotic situation a year ago. We must be curious, and we will find out after a search. Besides, We Black Arms worked with Joshua for a while before, so it’s certainly not difficult to know. I actually share the same opinion as Master Fashu, Your Excellency Beta, you really don’t have a good eye for people.”
Jivado is not a nobleman, so when he speaks, he wears honorifics.
Mei Weiss said meanly: "So we think that even if you push the dog away, it will be better than Joshua."
People change. Among the people around Beta at that time, Joshua was barely able to take the post of city lord. Not to mention Kyle, he was simple and straightforward, with a typical brave mentality. Too bad, she will be killed by others sooner or later. Alice herself is the successor of Bronze Drum City. Although it is better to have more territories, she was still immature at the time, and her thoughts were all on Kyle. Let her be the lord of the city, not much better than Kyle .
As for Emma, she also has a territory, and the situation of the eldest prince and the second prince's struggle for the throne at that time was not clear. If Emma dared to take another important economic town, then in the eyes of the eldest prince, she would definitely become extremely threatening. It would be strange not to send troops to attack.
Of course, Beta will not tell outsiders about these things, he just said in a very ordinary tone: "It doesn't matter to me who is the owner of the city."
Mei Weisi's spirit is obviously not good, and she seems to want to say something, Jivado patted the table lightly, and said: "Okay, we will talk about the matter later, and now we just want to know something, Beta Your Excellency, how can you protect us."
"That's up to you to see if you are worthy of my protection." Beta smiled.
"Two hundred gold coins, I'll buy my life." Jivado said without hesitation: "As long as I go back alive, the gold coins will definitely be offered with both hands."
Patriarch Fashu snorted: "It's also two hundred gold coins, I'll buy my life."
Meivis originally wanted to haggle the price, which is a woman's nature, but she looked at the other two men, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I also have two hundred gold coins."
Beta looked at them and smiled: "Sicilia is an important economic town. I don't need to think about it to know that you are very rich. Four hundred gold coins per person. No bargaining. I can guarantee your safety."
Upon hearing this, Mei Weisi screamed: "You are crazy, why don't you grab four hundred gold coins."
Beta said of course: "I'm just grabbing money now. If you don't want to, you don't have to pay."
Meivis was so angry that her chest heaved... The extreme anger made her face seem to have lost a lot of meanness.
Fashu said helplessly: "You are too greedy, four hundred gold coins, this is the accumulation of our family for decades, can it be cheaper."
"You can bargain, but I won't agree."
Beta smiled, with a very refreshing and beautiful expression, but in the eyes of others, it was a kind of calmness of "I'm sure of you".
The skeleton outside came closer to the aperture, and some strange skeleton creatures appeared again, such as a black knight riding a skeleton horse. The flames of death in the bone holes of their eyes are not red, but green.
The strength of the undead creatures can be seen from their undead flames, which are ranked in order from weak to strong, red, green, white, and purple.
The red skeleton is very ordinary in strength, but the undead with green undead flames are already elite-level professionals.
As for the three of Ghivado, their strength is not even up to the elites, so it is impossible for them to survive the attack of the black knight.
The three of them stared at the undead that was about to move outside, and after gritting their teeth, Jivador spoke first, and he said with a heartache: "Okay, you win, four hundred gold coins are four hundred gold coins, I will pay."
