Compared to Mu Lin's surprise, the expressions of the other three mercenaries were not very good-looking.
They and Mu Lin belonged to the employment contract, and the employment time was not long. They were afraid that if they did not perform well, the sixth princess would not renew the contract with them after the employment period expired.
After all, the employment fee given by the sixth princess is quite high.
"Princess Six, I'm very good at tracking. Can you ask this friend to help me? With his help, I can find him for you within three days." The skinny man vowed.
Beta glanced at the man and smiled slightly. When the other party spoke, he was a little careful. He wanted Beta to assist him, and he was in the dominant position. If the prisoner who stole the corpse was found, then he, the leader, must be the one who deserved the most credit.
Beta understands the other party's thoughts, he is not interested in these small thoughts, nor is he interested in the so-called "finding the prisoner" credit.
He can assist the other party in reconnaissance and tracking, but it is limited to this. If the other party dares to let him run errands, or shout around, he will naturally turn around and leave without saying a word.
Mu Lin looked at the skinny man, and said after two or three seconds: "You are wrong, it is not Cook who assists you, but you who assist Cook."
The skinny man's face immediately became a little ugly, and the other two mercenaries also had an expression of being taken advantage of.
Many people, especially those who think they are capable, never see where the limit of their abilities lies. They always think that they can do things that others cannot, and the results are generally not very good.
In essence, even if Beta's abilities are not stronger than the skinny man's, and are similar to the opponent's, Mu Lin will still tend to let Beta dominate. The reason is simple, Beta is 'one of our own'.
Mu Lin is an aristocrat, and Beta is also an aristocrat. Although she is a minor aristocrat, she is not bad when coupled with her status as a dragon vein warlock. This is also the reason why Beta provoked her again and again, but she was only angry, annoyed, and did not really feel disgusted or murderous.
But what is the identity of the skinny man? He's just a mercenary.
In Mu Lin's subconscious, there is absolutely no reason why the nobles should be led by mercenaries when they have similar abilities.
Seemingly understanding the expressions on the faces of the three mercenaries, Mu Lin frowned: "You don't want to?"
Feeling that the sixth princess seemed a little angry, the three mercenaries shook their heads quickly, and the skinny man said: "No, we are willing to obey your orders, Your Highness Princess."
Still be cautious... He clearly said he would follow Mu Lin's orders, but in reality, he was 'just following the princess' orders. As soon as Mu Lin left, the other party's attitude changed drastically.
Beta smiled inwardly, and didn't care too much... It's just a master and two elites, he naturally has a way to make the other party submissive.
Thousands of miles away, the country of Holevin, the city of Woking.
Shirley was handling government affairs in the city hall. Amanda walked in, sat aside and said, "Madam, our road has been repaired to someone else's city, but they won't allow us to pass through the city, what should we do?"
"Go around from outside the city." Shirley had a good feeling for the word 'lord's wife'. She smiled and continued: "Send Frostwolf knights to patrol the road. If there are 'robbers', 'robbers' dare to harass In the business way, if you can catch it, you can catch it, if you resist too much, you will kill it directly."
"Okay, no problem, I will convey this to the Winter Wolf Saintess in a while."
Amanda took a deep look at Shirley and left the city hall.
If you want to think of the residence of the Frostwolf Di tribe, you have to pass in front of the Temple of Woking. Amanda was in a carriage. When passing by here, she gently opened the curtain, and then saw a group of The elves are busy with farm work.
Except for the elf with the palest yellow skin, the other elves were still a bit dark, but they were much better than when they first came.
At first, when Beta asked her to buy a dark elf, Amanda thought that Beta wanted to try the taste of dark elves, after all, many nobles liked it. But now she finally knew that Beta had other intentions in buying the elves back, for example...to make these elves a part of the Woking Temple.
Amanda is just a businessman with a wide vision, so she can naturally see how much people and benefits these dark elves will bring to Woking City when they are truly 'transformed' into Woking City.
After delivering the news to the Maiden of the Winter Wolf, she returns home... for she is now an adult, and even of sufficient stature, to be independent from the family and now be the head of the family herself.
After looking at the recently collected information in the study for a while, the maid came in and reported that there was a businessman outside asking to see her.
Amanda probably guessed who it was, so she asked the maid to invite the guests to wait in the lobby on the first floor. After dressing up a bit, she went downstairs.
There are two fat men sitting in the hall. Although they are wearing fancy clothes, they are all ordinary people's styles. Most of the businessmen are quite fat, with only a few exceptions, which may be related to the fact that businessmen are lazy.
"Ms. Amanda, nice to meet you." The fat businessman stood up and gave a slight salute.
Although they are both businessmen and ordinary people, the backer behind Amanda is Chengzhu Mansion, and ordinary businessmen dare not casually stand up in front of Amanda.
"Please sit down." Amanda sat down first, and then said: "Your Excellency Sauron, I heard that your business in the east is doing well, why do you have time to come to chat with me?"
"It's just a small business, not as powerful as Ms. Amanda's business." Zoro sincerely admired, and continued: "I'm here this time to make a deal with Ms. Amanda."
"Please say."
In Business Talk, Amanda, as a businessman, is naturally very interested in business.
"I heard that Ms. Amanda bought a lot of slaves some time ago."
"Indeed... Do you have more dark elf slaves, Your Excellency?" Amanda looked at each other with a little excitement inside: "If you have extra dark elves, please be sure to notify me."
"That's not what I meant." Sauron waved his fat hand and said, "I want to buy your dark elves."
"Although dark elves are rare, they are not rare goods. As long as you are looking for them, you can always find them." Amanda looked at the other party and said, "The only problem is the price."
"I'm not interested in other dark elves." Sauron said: "I want your 'reformed' dark elves. We are willing to spend four times the price you paid for them."
"Waukin City will not sell people." Amanda's face was a little displeased.
Sauron smiled and said: "But you have also bought the population, even if you sell it again, it is not a big deal."
Although Sauron's words sounded innocuous, when one actually thought about them, they were quite harsh. He was saying that since Amanda had already bought slaves, she was considered half a slave trader, and the business was always integrated, so he told Amanda not to 'pretend'.
Amanda seemed to have thought that the other party would ask this question, she smiled and said: "We buy slaves in Woking City, that is because we want to turn slaves into ordinary people, it is salvation, don't compare us with those slave traders who rely on slaves to make money Mix it up."
Amanda's face was not only full of righteousness, but also full of disdain when talking about slave traders.
Sauron looked at her for a while, and said slowly: "Ms. Amanda, you may have been working for the Santo for too long, and you forgot a famous saying of our businessman."
"Anything, or emotion, has a price. If others don't accept the price you offer, then your price is low."
Amanda was silent for a while, and said: "That was my previous philosophy, and now I am a Woking believer."
"We Woking merchants must have a bottom line in doing things. Slave trading, if you can't do it, you can't do it."
Sauron looked at Amanda quietly for a while, and saw persistence and faith on her face.
Ordinary businessmen only pursue profit, but when a businessman starts to emphasize persistence and faith, it means that the businessman is not far from bankruptcy.
"It seems that, Ms. Amanda, you are not willing to trade with us." Sauron didn't show much disappointment on his face, but he cheered up and said, "Then let's change the terms. If Wojin City is willing to sell Give us some dark elves who have passed the college entrance examination, then... we can help you settle the business affairs."
Amanda was taken aback: "Are you sure it will work?"
"It can be done." Sauron nodded: "But this is no longer something you can decide, Ms. Amanda. I hope to see Ms. Shirley."
Amanda sat quietly for a while, seeming to be thinking about something, and after a while, she suddenly said: "That's what you wanted to do from the beginning, and you came to talk to me, probably because you wanted to trick me, right?"
Sauron naturally denied it flatly: "There is nothing."
"Okay, I'll take you to see the wife of the city lord of Woking City now." Amanda stood up: "Of course, I hope you don't be too rude when the time comes, after all, you are the guest I brought over, if you are too rude If not, I will be ashamed as well."
Although Amanda reminded him earlier, Sauron still lost his composure when he saw Shirley.
He looked at Shirley's face quietly, and was stunned for a while. It wasn't until Shirley became impatient and used a slight mental attack to directly cause the latter's head pain for a while, that Sauron's attitude became more normal.
"Ms. Shirley, we want to do business with you."
Under Shirley's cold gaze, Sauron stammered and told Shirley the content of the transaction.
As a result, Shirley's face became even colder, and she only said one word.
"roll!"
Sauron left the City Lord's Mansion in embarrassment.
Shirley looked at Amanda with some displeasure: "I remember telling you that the dark elves are Betabu's pawns. No one but Beta can decide whether they will go or not. Do you understand?"
"I know, it's just that this matter is really important." Amanda was a little unhappy when she was reprimanded: "I don't have the decision-making power, so I can only bring him to you."
"You want power?"
Shirley looked at her with a half-smile.
