Views:

Beta doesn't quite understand what Shirley wants to do. It doesn't make any difference whether he has one more maid or one less. Most importantly, he really has no interest in Julie. She couldn't bear it, and didn't do anything, let alone her little maid who was not as good as her.

But since Shirley made this request, he would not object. After all, Shirley was by his side. Although the two had no real sexual relationship, the union of their souls had already made them closer than a normal couple. Moreover, they had been together day and night during this period, and the trust between them was almost on the verge of breaking down. Break through the numerical limit.

Earlier, Julie asked Shirley what she would do if the situation was reversed, and Shirley would indeed stay and defend Beta alone like Julie did.

But the problem is Beta. With Beta's current trust in Shirley, even if Shirley said something hurtful and heartless, Beta would not believe it. He would just keep a cold face and drag Shirley along. escape.

Comparing the two, Joshua and Beta are fundamentally different.

Beta is used to seeing intrigues in the game, and of course he has seen the truth, the good, and the beautiful. He can tell who is really good to him, and who is approaching him hypocritically.

But Joshua couldn't do it. He was too young and too self-inflated. Even Julie, who was born and died with him, couldn't gain his complete trust.

The same thing, handled by different people, the result will naturally be different.

For Julie, although Joshua didn't trust her and thought she had really betrayed her, which made her a little disappointed, but Joshua could escape alone and ignore her burden, she was very happy and satisfied.

As for that little loss, it is nothing at all under the premise of the lover's safety.

Beta got Julie into the space of the mansion, and then left.

When their figures disappeared into the air, the other two chasing teams came over and found the traces left by Joshua very skillfully, and continued to track them down.

And then... soon it was dawn.

Last night, the entire city of Sicily was sleepless... A huge fireball suddenly appeared and blew up the city lord's mansion into ruins. It was not until morning that the land there barely cooled down, but those who went to investigate the situation could still feel that In the huge pit, there is a heat that can moxibustion and hurt people.

The city lord's mansion is gone, the city lord is missing, and his life and death are unknown.

Well-informed people can figure out what's going on. When Beta returned to the manor, he found Patriarch Fashu standing outside the manor with a haggard and anxious face.

When he saw Beta, he came over with an embarrassed and humble smile, and asked his entourage to carry out a wooden box from the carriage, and said, "Your Excellency Beta, this is the four hundred gold coins we agreed upon. Please accept it with a smile." .”

I didn't send it a long time ago, but I just sent it now... Beta can also guess what kind of mental journey Master Fashu has gone through recently. He smiled and didn't speak, just looking at Patriarch Fashu like this.

Being stared at by Beta, Patriarch Fashu felt like he was being targeted by a natural enemy. After a while, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to speak, so he could only lower his head, waiting for Beta's decision.

After a long while, Beta said lightly: "Well, send it in."

As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Fashu heaved a sigh of relief. Because his body went from tense to overly relaxed, his body lost balance for a moment, and he sat down directly on the ground.

The person who came to give the money was not the owner of the Fashu family, but soon there were other people who came to give the money. Of course, Beta didn't accept it. Their purpose is very obvious, that is, to hope that Beta will support them to take the position of city lord.

Because until now... no one has caught Joshua.

Julie was working in the manor. She didn't run away, nor did she passively resist. She did whatever Shirley asked her to do, even with a smile on her face.

"Because Joshua was not found, so you are very happy?" Shirley asked in this way.

Julie nodded without hesitation, without any intention of hiding anything: "I know you are good people, and I know that Joshua was sorry for you first. But he is my master anyway, as long as he is still alive, I will That's enough."

With pure wishes and pure thoughts, Julie is a simple person. Xue Li didn't find it surprising that she answered such a question.

Surprisingly, Amanda, who should have waited several months to get rid of the weapons and armor, sold them all today at twice the purchase price.

Because of the vacancy of the position of the city lord, the entire city is now buying weapons and armor with some confident forces. The next city of Sicily will definitely have a bloodbath.

But this has nothing to do with Beta. He didn't meet everyone who came to send money. Instead, he asked the steward to tell them that he didn't care about the affairs of Sicilia, and he didn't want to. Whoever can become a lord depends on his own ability. .

In the middle of the night, Reardon came with several horses, and many strange-shaped gold nuggets were unloaded from the carriages.

"These were all dug out from the castellan's manor." Reardon wiped his sweat, and continued, "We weighed them, and if they were recast, there would be around 4,000 gold coins."

Reardon put the gold nugget in the manor, then saluted and left. Beta opened the Knights of the Round Table system and found that the loyalty of the two brothers had increased by a few points, and was ready to reach ninety.

Beta actually wanted to push their family to the position of city lord, but after thinking about it, he gave up. In many cases, it is not uncommon to promote Mi En and fight Mi Qiu, and Joshua is a living example.

If the two of them want to compete for the position of city lord, when the time comes, Beta can consider giving it a proper push, but he will never be as strong as he was when he helped Joshua.

Of course, if Kyle wants to be the lord of the city, Shirley, or even Emma wants to win the position of the lord of Sicilia, Beta will definitely help, because Beta can trust these three people.

At night, Beta called Amanda over, and then cleared the gold coins, and found that they had earned nearly 7,000 gold coins in the past ten days.

The weapons and armor earned 2,200, and the gold coins sent by the three of Ghivado totaled 1,200, plus the gold nuggets sent by Reardon just now, which is equivalent to at least 3,500, and the total is about 6,000 The income of seven hundred gold coins.

Amanda's eyes widened as she looked at the number.

But Beta thinks it's normal. The golden belt of murder and arson has been the fastest way to make money since ancient times.

Now that the money was earned, Beta left a sum of money to the housekeeper for the daily expenses of the manor, and then he took Shirley and Julie back to the wetland.

Amanda will stay in Sicily City for the time being, because the caravan is also here, she plans to be a traveling merchant, and go back to the wetlands by trading. Up to two hundred gold coins...
