Chapter IX: Deterrence

The simple investigation went very smoothly, and Regner originally thought that he could use the precise swordsmanship honed over the years of assassination to mix a position such as a vegetable cutter. But I didn't expect the housekeeper to take a fancy to his appearance.

"How much do you know about etiquette among nobles?" the butler asked in surprise as he stared at Regner for a moment.

"Uh......" Regner was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he would have a setting for the general experience of the character he was disguised when he was disguised. So Regner replied: "I have worked as a waiter in several high-end restaurants, and I am familiar with this aspect. ”

The butler naturally didn't easily believe Regner's words, and he picked a few basic questions to ask Regner. For example, the language and etiquette when talking with nobles, the gestures when pouring wine for others, and the range of bows.

And these questions are naturally difficult for Regner, how can he say that he has also been the head of the military intelligence department for so long, although he usually does not have as many entertainment as other ministers, but he also participated in a lot of banquets, and he still knows more clearly about these etiquette.

So Regner 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, and he handed Regner an iron badge in the shape of a wine glass: "You are in good shape, and your luck is also very good, we just lack a waiter for this banquet, so we will let you come." You'll have a reward of seventy silver coins at the end of the day, is there a problem?"

"Thank you, no problem!" Regna pretended to be very happy, in fact he was very happy, after all, someone praised himself for being handsome, no matter who heard this, he would be happy, right?

"Keep this badge safe, it's proof of your temporary job. The butler finally explained.

"Okay. Regner nodded, but instead of rushing in, he stood there waiting for the little girl.

Anyway, the gang has already helped, so Regner wants to see if this little guy can get through.

And the result was a little unexpected, although this little girl seemed to be timid and afraid of everything. But she unexpectedly knows everything, cleaning, washing dishes, cooking, needlework, etc., it can be said that this little girl who is not too big is actually an all-round housewife, and her ability is only stronger than Erin.

Therefore, the housekeeper will naturally not refuse such an all-round talent. The little girl was assigned to do the housekeeping work, and because of the simplicity of the work, she was paid only fifty silver coins at the end of the day.

But even though the wages were twenty silver coins less than Regner's, the little girl was still very happy when she was approved by the butler. She thanked the butler again and again, and when she saw it, she knelt down for the butler. In the end, it was the housekeeper who waved impatiently to drive her away.

"Congratulations. Regner said with a smile.

The little girl couldn't help but blush when she saw Regner's smiling appearance, she hesitated for a moment, and then bowed deeply to Regner: "Thank you so much today, my name is Sasha." ”

"Nothing. Regner smiled nonchalantly, "My name is Jehart." ”

Regner chose this name because it was always indelible in his mind, just in case he forgot to react when someone called him another name.

"Thank you so much, Brother Jarhat, I really don't know what to do without you. Sasha said gratefully.

"You seem to be in desperate need of this job?" Regner asked, looking at Sasha's expression.

"Yes. Sasha nodded: "My mother is sick and there is no money at home, so I can only come out and find a way to get money." ”

"What about the rest of your family?" Regner asked, "like my father or my brother or brother." ”

"......" Sasha's eyes flashed a little dim, her eyes turned red, and then she said, "My father joined the army at the beginning of the war. He was on the verge of becoming a squad leader, but three years ago the northerners took his life. I also have an older brother...... After his father's death, he also joined the army in order to support the family's livelihood. Afterward...... Later, his corps was sent to garrison Haichao City......"

"......" Regner's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"Then Haichao City was also beaten down by the northerners, and my brother died like this. Sasha couldn't help but wipe her tears as she said this.

Regner's feelings were mixed. Because of the war, the two men in the family went to the battlefield one after another, and then died one after another. This was supposed to be a happy family, but the war used the most cruel and barbaric way to scatter this family. What's even more ironic is that Regner actually contributed to the destruction of the family, even with a decisive force. He understood that if he didn't have himself at that time, it would be difficult for General Manhattan to take Haichao City, which was defended by magic cannons, in a short period of time.

Realizing this, Regner suddenly felt that he had no way to face the little girl. Because in a sense, he is the murderer who robbed her of her happiness and important people. As far as Regner is concerned, what he hates most is for someone else to take away what he holds dear, and if anyone dares to do so, he will definitely fight that person desperately.

This value of his was formed from a very young age, because in the past Ragner had nothing, so when he had something, he would cherish it extraordinarily, and even value these things more than his life.

He didn't know what the little girl named Sasha in front of him thought, but if he thought about it by comparing his heart to his heart, Regner still felt very guilty in his heart.

Hearing Sasha's story, Regner decided to try to help the little girl during the few days he was lurking. Then he gave her a little money when he left, and he naturally brought a lot of money with him this time, and it was very easy to relieve this little girl.

"Think of it as the salvation I have done for my conscience!" said Regner to himself.

Because of this determination, Regner immediately became enthusiastic. He took off Sasha's backpack from behind her back and held it in his hand, then said, "I'll take you to the dormitory." ”

Sasha didn't refuse Regner's kindness, she was originally a submissive person, so basically she didn't dare to resist what others did to her.

With the backpack in his hand, Regner was a little alarmed by the weight of the thing. Not to mention almost twenty pounds, right? Sasha stood all morning with such a heavy thing on her back with such a thin body? This small detail made the guilt in Regner's heart even stronger.

The room where the maid lived was easy to find, and by the time Regner walked into the house with Sasha, quite a few temporary workers had already begun to make their beds. They all seem to be focused on their own things, after all, they don't live long, so they don't need to think about the relationship between the characters.

But Regner knew that with Sasha's character, she was likely to be bullied with tears in her eyes even for just a few days. So he decided it would be better to do something here.

"Is this the place?" said Regner deliberately in a loud voice, drawing a lot of sideways glances.

"Yes...... Yes......" Sasha was a little timid when she saw that many people had seen it, and she admitted tremblingly.

"Wait. Regner smiled, then tossed Sasha's backpack aside with a "clang". He looked at the bed, and saw that the wooden slats had a corner protruding because of their poor workmanship.

Regner didn't say much, he reached out directly, and then his slender fingers instantly exerted force.

Click!

Ragnar casually broke off the scrap corner of the bed board and threw it in the garbage. And if you are careful, you will find that the solid wood bed board has actually imprinted a few obvious finger prints because of Regner's strength. What a terrifying power this is?!

In fact, Regner has already exceeded the boundaries he has set for himself in doing so. Because the strength of human muscles is limited after all, if you don't know how to fight, even a person with natural divine power will be difficult to achieve Regner's level. And Regner's hand will obviously reveal some of his strength, if these details are seen by someone who cares, Regner will undoubtedly be suspected.

But it's just suspicion, after all, no matter how rich a person's imagination and brain is, they would not have thought that the young man in front of them was the military intelligence chief of the Hawke Empire, a famous dark elegy.

Because in the eyes of normal people, equipment is important, but even if it is an artifact, it is not enough for the intelligence leader of the Hawke Empire to take risks in person. Those things outside the body are lost, and it is a big deal to pick up two more weapons from the royal family's private storage room in the Hawke Empire.

But Regner 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. On top of that, the Light-Swallowing Sword also contained the soul of a Sanctuary assassin, his own teacher, Garona.

Regardless of what it was for Garona to prevent herself from opening the full form of the dark body in the first place, but in general, it is not an exaggeration to describe Garona as kind to Regnar. If it weren't for her patient and meticulous teaching by Regner's side all the time, Ragner would have died a long time ago.

So, Regner had to recover his Light-Swallowing Sword no matter what. This is something that no one can imagine. Because there should be no more than five people who know about the existence of Garona. Regner, on the other hand, believes that only he knows of her existence.

With this in mind, Regner felt that even if he showed a little strength at this time, it would not be too much of a problem. The little girl named Sasha looked a little pitiful, and part of her pity was self-inflicted, so Regner felt that her conscience would be difficult if she didn't help her.

After making sure that everyone was looking at him with a hint of fear, Regner knew he had achieved the effect.

He patiently helped Sasha make the bed, and then walked over to the somewhat helpless girl. He rubbed Sasha's pale blonde hair like a big brother, and then said, "Then, I'll go first, if you need help with anything, you can come to me." ”

"Thank you, Brother Jerhat. Sasha bowed her head in obedience, then narrowed her eyes, enjoying Regner's petting like a kitten.

Ragnar looked at Sasha and finally gave the others a warning look before turning away.
