The simple inspection went very smoothly. Regnar originally thought that he could find a job as a vegetable cutter by relying on his precise swordsmanship honed through years of assassinations. But he didn't expect the housekeeper to take a fancy to his appearance.
"How much do you know about the etiquette among nobles?" The butler stared at Regnar for a moment, and then asked quite unexpectedly.
"Uh..." Regnar was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, when he was disguising, he would have a general experience of the character he was disguising. So Regnar replied: "I have worked as a waiter in several high-end restaurants, so I am quite familiar with this aspect."
Naturally, the housekeeper would not believe Regnar's words easily. He picked a few basic questions to ask Regnar. For example, the language and etiquette when talking to nobles, the movements when pouring wine for others, and the length of bowing.
Naturally, these questions can't stump Regner. He has been the Director of Military Intelligence for such a long time. Although he doesn't have as many social activities as other ministers, he has also attended many banquets. For these He still knows etiquette relatively clearly.
Therefore, Regnar behaved very calmly in front of the butler, and he answered a series of questions from the butler almost impeccably.
"Passed." The butler nodded after asking the last question. He handed an iron badge that looked like a wine glass to Regnar: "You look good and you are very lucky. We happen to be short of a waiter for this banquet. I’ll just let you come. Food and accommodation will be provided for these few days, and you will have a reward of seventy silver coins at the end of the day. Is there any problem?"
"Thank you, no problem!" Regnar pretended to be very happy. In fact, he was indeed very happy. After all, someone complimented him on how handsome he was. Anyone who heard this would be happy, right
"Keep this badge safe. This is proof of your temporary employment." The butler finally explained.
"Okay." Regnar nodded, but he did not rush in, but stood there waiting for the little girl.
Anyway, the gang has already helped, so Regnar wants to see if this little guy can pass.
And the result was a bit unexpected. Although this little girl looked timid, she seemed to be afraid of everything. But she surprisingly knows how to do everything, such as cleaning, washing dishes, cooking, sewing, etc. It can be said that this little girl is actually an all-round housewife, and her abilities are only stronger than those of Irene. .
Therefore, the housekeeper will naturally not reject such an all-round talent. This little girl was assigned to do household cleaning work. Because the work was simple, she only received fifty silver coins in wages at the end.
But even though the salary was twenty silver coins less than Regnar's, the little girl still seemed very happy after getting the butler's approval. She thanked the butler again and again, almost kneeling down in front of him. In the end, the housekeeper waved her away impatiently and she left.
"Congratulations." Regnar said with a smile.
The little girl couldn't help but blush when she saw Regna smiling. She hesitated for a moment, and then bowed deeply to Regna: "Thank you very much for today. My name is Shasha."
"Nothing." Regnar smiled nonchalantly: "My name is Gerhart."
The reason why Regnar chose this name was because it was indelible in his mind. This could prevent him from forgetting to react when others called him another name.
"Thank you very much, Brother Gerhart. Without you, I really don't know what I would do." Shasha said gratefully.
"You seem to be in desperate need of this job?" Regnar asked looking at Shasha's expression.
"Yes." Shasha nodded: "My mother is sick and the family has no money, so I can only go out and find ways to get money."
"Where are the other people in your family?" Regnar asked, "For example, your father or older brother or younger brother."
"..." Sasha's eyes flashed a bit dimly, her eyes were red, and then she said: "My father joined the army at the beginning of the war. He was about to become a squad leader, but in the third The northerners took his life years ago. I also have an older brother... He joined the army in order to maintain the family's livelihood after his father's death. Later... Later, his regiment was sent to garrison Haichao City... "
"..." Regnar's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"Then Haichao City was also defeated by the northerners, and my brother died like this." Shasha couldn't help wiping her tears when she said this.
Regnar felt quite complicated in his heart. Because of the war, two men in the family went to the battlefield one after another and died one after another. This was supposed to be a happy and happy family, but the war used the most cruel and barbaric way to dismember this family into pieces. What's even more ironic is that Regnar also played a part in destroying this family, even with a decisive force. He understood that without him at that time, it would have been difficult for General Manhattan to capture Tide City, which was defended by magic cannons, in a short period of time.
After realizing this, Regnar suddenly felt that he had no way to face this little girl. Because in a sense, he was the murderer who took away her happiness and importance. For Regnar, what he hates most is for others to take away something he cherishes. If someone dares to do this, he will definitely fight that person desperately.
This value of his was formed when he was very young, because Regnar had nothing in the past, so when he had something, he would cherish it especially, and even value these things more than his life.
He didn't know what the little girl named Shasha in front of him was thinking, but if he thought about it in a heart-to-heart way, Regnar still felt very guilty.
After hearing Shasha's story, Regnar decided to try his best to help this little girl during these few days of hiding. Then he gave her some money before leaving. Naturally, he brought a lot of money with him when he came out this time. It was very easy to help this little girl.
"Just think of it as my redemption for my own conscience!" Regnar said to himself in his heart.
Because he made this determination, Regnar immediately became very enthusiastic. He took off the backpack from Shasha's back and held it in his hand, then said, "I'll take you to the dormitory."
Shasha didn't reject Regner's kindness. She was originally a submissive person, so basically she didn't dare to resist no matter what others did to her.
With the backpack in his hand, Regnar was a little frightened by the weight of the thing. At least it weighs almost twenty pounds, right? With such a thin body, Shasha had to stand all morning carrying such a heavy thing? This small detail made Regnar feel more guilty.
The room where the maid lived was easy to find. When Regnar and Shasha walked into the room, many temporary workers had already started to make their own beds. They all seem to be focusing on their own affairs. After all, they don't live here for a long time, so they don't need to think about the relationship between the characters.
But Regner knew that with Shasha's character, she would probably be bullied to the point of tears even in just a few days. So he decided it would be better to do something here.
"Is this here?" Regnar deliberately said loudly, attracting many people's attention.
"Yes... yes..." Shasha felt a little timid when she saw that many people were looking over, and she admitted tremblingly.
"Wait." Regnar smiled, then threw Shasha's backpack aside with a clang. He looked at the bed and found that a corner of the wooden bed board was protruding due to poor workmanship.
Regnar didn't say much, he stretched out his hand directly, and then his slender fingers exerted force instantly.
Click!
Regnar casually broke off the corner of the bed board and threw it in the trash. And if someone is careful, they can discover that the solid wood bed board actually has several obvious fingerprints imprinted on it due to Regnar's power. How terrifying is this power? !
In fact, Regnar's actions have exceeded the limits he set for himself. Because the strength of human muscles is limited after all, if you don't know fighting spirit, even a person with natural supernatural power will have a hard time reaching Regnar's level. And Regnar's display of such a hand will obviously reveal some of his own strength. If these details are seen by interested people, Regnar will undoubtedly be suspected.
But it was just a suspicion. After all, no matter how imaginative and powerful a person was, they would never have thought that the young man in front of them was the military intelligence director of the Hawke Empire, the famous Dark Elegy.
Because in the eyes of normal people, it is important that the equipment is important, but even if it is an artifact, it is not enough for the intelligence chief of the Hawke Empire to take the risk himself. If you lose your personal belongings, just throw them away. At worst, you can just pick two handy weapons from the royal family's private storage room in the Hawke Empire.
But Regnar knew the secret of his equipment, because it was not just a matter of a sword, a dagger, and a few pieces of leather armor. The most important thing is that the light-swallowing sword also contains the soul of a holy assassin, his teacher-Garona.
No matter what the reason was for Garona to prevent her from activating the full form of darkness, in general, Garona's kindness to Regnar could not be overstated. Without her patient and careful guidance by his side, Regnar would have died a long time ago.
Therefore, Regnar must find his light-swallowing sword no matter what. This is something that no one could have imagined. Because there should be no more than five people who know about Garona's existence. Regnar, on the other hand, thought that only he knew of her existence.
Considering this, Regnar felt that even if he showed a little strength at this time, there wouldn't be much of a problem. This little girl named Shasha looked a little pitiful, and part of her pity was caused by herself, so Regna felt that his conscience would be difficult if he didn't help her.
After confirming that everyone looked at him with faint fear, Regnar also knew that he had achieved the effect.
He patiently helped Shasha make the bed, and then walked up to the somewhat bewildered girl. Like a big brother, he ruffled Shasha's pale golden hair and said, "Then, I'll leave first. If you need help with anything, you can come to me."
"Thank you, Brother Gerhardt." Shasha lowered her head obediently, then narrowed her eyes, enjoying Regnar's touch like a kitten.
Regna looked at Shasha, and finally gave the people around him a warning look before turning around and leaving.
