As a father, Nadette knows about his daughter.
Arrogance, arrogance, jealousy, laxity, narrow-mindedness, she has almost all the common problems that noble women should have. The only advantage that makes Nadette feel lucky is that Lux's murderous intentions are not serious.
Even if Lux hates a person again, at most it will hurt his body instead of his life. This is Nadette's bottom line. If he crosses this bottom line, he feels that no matter how much he loves his daughter, he will punished.
Of course, the severity of the punishment is another matter.
After resting for a few days, Beta made quite a few scrolls out. When he put these scrolls in front of Nadette, the latter almost twitched his cheeks, with an expression of looking at a monster.
"So many scrolls, how many magic materials did you use?"
Beta smiled and said: "The magic materials you sent me are almost used up. For the rest, I can make a few scrolls that are not very practical."
In the past few days, Nadette had someone send magic materials to Beta four times, almost emptying out the inventory of the Santo Mansion.
But looking at the pile of magic scrolls on the table, Nadette felt that it was worth it. Magic materials are said to be precious, but if they are not turned into magic props or scrolls, then they are no different from tukela.
Nat Dai was happy, and Beta was calm on the surface, but he was also very happy in his heart. Because more than half of the magic materials have entered his mansion's art space, and many of them are quite precious, and even strategically controlled magic materials.
So, this is the case when insiders bully outsiders. Although there is another caster in the City Lord's Mansion, the wild mage in Perth can barely make the lowest level of magic scrolls, and the success rate is relatively low. There are some third-level or even fourth-level magic scrolls here in Beta. Even Perth can't make it even with the strength of breastfeeding.
So, compared with Beta, Perth is still just a layman.
At this time, it was time for the combat meeting, and all the members of the four teams were here.
Because three people were lost in the last battle, and there was no suitable replacement, Nadette made some adjustments to each team.
One person was transferred from the second team, and two soldiers were transferred from the third team where Beta belonged to, to supplement the battle-damaged numbers of other teams.
As a result, Beta's third team had only four people at once.
Nadette's explanation for this is: "As a support team, the third team can independently judge the battlefield situation and act on its own. Heidi, Robben, and Sion, your task is to protect Cook and listen to his assessment of the battle situation." Judgment, do you understand?"
This is to determine Beta's leadership in the third team.
The former squad leader Heidi nodded indifferently. The rules in the mercenary world are very simple. As long as you have the strength, there is no problem in being the leader. Besides, Beta has also shown a certain sense of battlefield.
Looking at the overall situation, this is the quality that many powerful mercenary captains and leaders lack.
Heidi also knew that he was lacking in this aspect.
"The goal of this mission is in Ellen City. After the specific situation arrives at the destination, Arnold will explain it to you. Because I have to go back to the city to handle the audio, so this mission will be led by Arnold. What do you think? Opinion?"
No one said anything.
"Everyone chooses one of these scrolls to take away. The rest are sealed in the warehouse." Nadette looked at Beta: "The scrolls are very useful in the battle. Cook, when you go out, I will send someone to send an emergency Buy another batch of magic materials. When you come back, please continue to help us make scrolls. Of course, I will also record the contribution points and wait until the end of the month for liquidation. Is there any problem?"
Beta shook her head.
Nadette smiled. It is rare to meet a master who makes magic scrolls. Of course, he has to do more work. As long as magic scrolls are kept in a dry place, they can be stored for a very long time, possibly hundreds of years. Do more and save them, so you will be prepared.
"Then let's rest first, and gather in front of the garden at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Everyone dispersed.
Nadette returned to the study, and after a while, Heidi and Arnold came to him together.
Nadette took out two white magic necklaces of the same pattern from the drawer and placed them on the table: "This is two space equipment, one for each of you."
The two looked surprised. Arnold looked at the pendant on the table and showed some earnest eyes, but quickly covered it up: "Where did you get such a precious thing?"
Nadette smiled: "How can we say that our family has been in charge of Echo City for more than 500 years, and it is not surprising to occasionally search for some strange magic items over the years. The space for equipment in these two spaces is very small, and it can hold There are not many things in it, and there is a big gap with the private space opened up by space magicians, but it is better than ordinary people can use it. You can use it to store some life-saving things, such as a few more magic scrolls, after a while I'll ask the housekeeper to bring you a few more, and you can also put some more precious and confidential things."
Heidi and Nadette have a very close relationship, so he picked up one of them and put it on without any affection: "This thing is expensive, isn't it, a few hundred gold coins?"
"Hundreds of dollars?" Nadette smiled, "You can't even buy it with a thousand gold coins."
Both of them were shocked, and Heidi felt that this thing was a hot potato, so he hurriedly took it off his neck and put it back on the table.
"Take it first, I'm not giving it to you, I'm just lending it to you temporarily." Nadette smiled: "Tomorrow you go to Ellen City, I can't accompany you, so I can only support it in this way."
"But it's too exaggerated, aren't we afraid that we will take this thing away?" Arnold asked with a smile.
Nadette also smiled: "We have known each other for thirty years, and I trust you."
Hearing this, Arnold picked up the pendant: "Okay, I'll borrow it first."
Heidi also put another necklace back on her neck.
"In addition... if this mission fails, you two must come back alive. If possible, I mean, if possible, try to bring Cook back." Nadette said solemnly: "The lives of the two of you More than anything else, but Cook was a rare talent, and it would be a pity for such a young man to die young."
The two expressed their understanding and left Nadette's study.
As soon as they left, Lacus rushed in. She slapped the table hard and asked, "Father, that bastard is leaving tomorrow?"
Nadette raised his head, and joked rather amusedly: "Who are you talking about, we don't have anyone called a bastard here."
"It's Cook, that guy wants to leave here?" Lux was extremely dissatisfied: "That guy wanted to run away after teasing me, how could it be that simple."
Nadette asked with a smile, "Then what are you going to do?"
Lacus frowned: "I will make him pay the price."
Nadette laughed even happier, and there was even some sarcasm in his words: "First of all, Cook is a nobleman, and he is the head of the Green family. You can't deal with him in the same way as you deal with civilians. Second, he is a dragon vein warlock , the strength is very strong, neither Arnold nor I may be his opponent. My good daughter, what method are you going to use to make him pay the price? Cry in front of him?"
"You are my father, who are you helping?" Lux was so angry that she was about to go crazy.
"I don't help anyone. How you want to deal with Cook is your business. Don't try to borrow from me."
Lacus originally wanted her father to show up, even if she didn't drive that Cook away, she had to make him look good, but she didn't expect that her father would not stand by her side.
Having been spoiled since she was a child, she hated Cook even more. After a cold snort, Lacus slammed the door and left. Just as he got to the stairs, Urban came down from the stairs. When he saw Lacus, he ran down quickly and smiled flatteringly in front of the girl: "Miss, what are you doing?" Where are you going, do you want me to protect you?"
"Go away, don't bother me."
Urban paused for a moment, then said even more obsequiously: "Miss, who bullied you, tell me, and I'll break his leg."
"Cook, do you dare?"
Lux squinted at him, her disdain evident.
Lux had always looked down on Urban...a professional, a man with bones as limp as noodles. Although she is unbearable, she is not stupid. She knows who can be messed with and who cannot be messed with. For example, Arnold, even though she is also a subordinate of her father, she will never say a harsh word.
When Urban heard that it was Cook, his expression turned ugly. Beta's magical impact three days ago caused his ribs to ache. He naturally knew that Beta's subordinates were merciful, otherwise he would not be able to get out of bed at all.
However, most young men have a common problem, they can't bear the "excitement" of others, especially in front of the woman they like.
Seeing Lacus's contemptuous expression, Urban rushed to the top of his head with a bang of blood, and said loudly, "Miss, wait a minute, I'll go and vent my anger on you."
He rushed to the third floor aggressively and knocked on Beta's door so hard that almost the whole building could hear him.
Beta is studying the magic pattern copied from the black coffin in the room. The magic circle in the elf kingdom period is very different from the current magic circle in the direction of movement, which has given Beta a lot of inspiration.
But the rough knock on the door for a while interrupted his train of thought, and he was extremely upset.
He opened the door and saw Urban with a flushed face, as if he had taken a stimulant. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lux standing behind with a smile on his mouth. How could he not know what was going on.
Before Urban could speak, Beta was a wind pressure bomb, knocking the former into the air. Before closing the door, he looked at Lacus not far away, and said in a calm tone: "Be mature, your father is a good lord, He is also a good person, as a daughter, don't embarrass him."
As soon as these words came out, Lux was so angry that she held her skirt tightly with both hands, unable to speak.
After a while, when she got over her breath, she snorted and went downstairs to leave very upset.
And when Urban knocked on the door desperately, everyone on the third floor made a 'noise'. Seeing that Urban was knocked down again, two of them shook their heads and went back to the room to rest.
Robben walked over, helped Urban up, sighed and said, "Don't provoke the two of them. Miss Lacus doesn't like us mercenaries, so give up. Cook is not interested in Miss Lacus, and neither are you." His opponent, why bother to make trouble."
Urban retched twice, pushed Robben away, and howled in a low voice: "What do you know... unmotivated guy."
Robben didn't repay his kindness, but he had a good temper, shrugged his shoulders, ignored Urban, and went back to his room to rest.
Urban looked at Beta's closed door, and limped away.
A few minutes later, in Nadette's study, Arnold came over, explained what happened just now, and then asked curiously: "Don't you care? If this continues, it will have a certain impact on the morale of the team."
"Although Urban is very ambitious, he is not capable enough and his temperament is not enough. Lacus doesn't like him." Nadette thought for a while, and said: "I let Urban stay with Lacus, It is nothing more than to let Lux see clearly what the man who pursues him looks like under normal circumstances. Cook is playing a positive role and can tell her how a really good man, a young talent, sees her .The world doesn't revolve around her."
Arnold smiled: "You have worked so hard. Since you think there is no problem, then I will ignore this matter. I will go to rest first."
...
...
The time soon came to the next morning. After breakfast, the four teams assembled in the courtyard, got into four carriages, and left slowly.
Lux yawned and came out of her bedroom. Yesterday she was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.
When I went downstairs, I happened to bump into the housekeeper, so I stopped him and asked, "By the way, the day before yesterday, my father asked you to send compensation to that woman. How is the situation?"
"It was delivered to her."
"Oh, that woman must be very regretful, did she cry?"
As soon as Lux thought of the face that had been scratched by her, she felt a burst of joy, and the anger aroused by Beta subsided a lot.
The housekeeper shook his head: "We caught up with her outside the city. She was a little frightened at the time, but she still accepted our gold coins."
"Exchanging one face for ten gold coins, she has earned it."
The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Miss, that woman's face has been healed."
"What!" Lux screamed: "Who did it? Those hypocrites in the Temple of Light? No... I want to let that woman continue to become an ugly monster, butler, send someone to catch her back, I want Scratch again personally, let me see who dares to cure her again this time!"
The housekeeper said with a wry smile: "Miss, that happened three days ago, and now that woman doesn't know where she went."
what! Lux ran back to her bedroom like a lunatic, swept all the things on the table to the ground, and started smashing things at the same time.
When the butler heard the movement downstairs, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
