Chapter 41: Inviting the Girl to Coffee (1)

Talking to smart people, you will save a lot of time, talking to successful people, you will find that it is too simple to control the world, and talking to mediocre people, you will feel that the whole world is full of malice towards you.

So what about talking to a toad, Roque spent the whole night giving the answer, the process can no longer be traced, after all, time cannot be turned back, but the result is gratifying.

The Black Thorn Manor contains a treasure left behind by wizards, a laboratory that has never been seen, and this is the most exciting news that Roc has ever heard from the Duke.

What does it mean to have a wizarding laboratory, this question can be answered immediately by Roque, that is, it means that the door of the wizarding world has opened to you, and all you have to do is to accept it, go to it, hold the truth and become a powerful wizard, and enjoy the respect of the world.

In a sense, the wizards' laboratories represent their legacy, where the bits and pieces of these wise men's quest for truth are stored, and in terms of value, they are priceless.

Roque is determined to win this laboratory, and he will not allow others to destroy it, no one can do it, this is the power he wants to master.

After a sleepless night, when the sky was just ready to see the white belly of the fish, Roque couldn't lie down, and his mind was full of things in the laboratory.

So, by the way, he asked Milael and Barbara to get up early, and the three of them stayed in the study for nearly an hour, just to discuss one thing.

"The servants, servants, and swordsmen in the manor, let them disappear if they should disappear, let them dismiss when they should be dismissed, what I need is absolute loyalty and obedience, give you two hours, can you do it?"

Roque made his own request, and the purpose was clear, that is, to let Millaire and Barbara do it, and he only wanted the final result.

"Don't worry, sir, we know what to do. ”

Millair and Barbara nodded solemnly, in fact, in their opinion, Roque's approach is very necessary, and they also have a bottom in their hearts, this thing is not difficult to do.

"I'll let Murdan and Yage assist you, now let's go have breakfast. ”

In the hall, the maid had already put all kinds of breakfast on the table, it looked a bit like a cafeteria, Murdan and the others had already come, but they didn't see Roque, they were all waiting quietly.

"Good morning, sir. ”

"Good morning, sir. ”

"Good morning, Master Roque. ”

"Good morning, everyone, sit down. ”

Roque came to the hall and responded to everyone's greetings, then sat down at the table, followed by the others.

Although he couldn't adapt yet, Milael had to go with the flow, and there were two more people at the table today, one was Barbara, and the other was Wormwood, who had become close friends with Fili.

"Quack. ”

"Roque: I'm hungry. ”

"Oh my God, sir, what is this!"

At this moment, the Duke suddenly appeared in the hall, and the first to find it were the maids, who were instantly frightened, and instinctively went to find some "weapons" to grab in their hands, followed by Millaire and Barbara, and the two immediately stood up from their chairs.

"Master, is this true, it turns out that there is really a toad the size of a basin. ”

"Master, who caught this, scared me to death. ”

Murdan's face showed a faint smile as they looked at Roque.

"Don't be nervous, it's called the Duke, and it will live in the manor in the future. ”

Roque's words worked, and the maids calmed down a lot, but the fear on their faces couldn't be eliminated for a while, and they needed to get used to it.

"It's amazing. Barbara immediately turned to delight, and looked at the Duke curiously.

Milael finally understood now, and just now he was wondering why Wormwood had such a privilege, and it seemed that there was one more person in the manor who needed to be treated differently.

A toad was added to the table, and it became the first person to eat breakfast, and the appearance was so outrageous that he didn't even let go of the plate, followed by Roque.

After a thrilling breakfast, Milael and Barbara were the first to leave the hall with Murdan and Yager, while Fili and Wormwood cleaned up the table for the maids.

Roque sat quietly on the couch, he was waiting for the result, while the Duke was on his arms, no one knew what it was going to do, and he was completely free to move.

Something big was going on in the morning at the Black Thorn Manor, but it was done only in secret, and it was cruel to the servants, servants, and swordsmen, some of whom were going to leave forever.

Milyre and Barbara didn't disappoint Roque, they completed each other's tasks as quickly as they could, Murdan's face was calm, and Yager's face was excited.

An hour and a half later, Roque had a report in his hand, which was the result of Millaire and Barbara's work.

"Sir, there are 50 servants in the manor, including 40 maids, 10 male servants, 20 maids, and 15 swordsmen. ”

"All the mercenaries were dismissed, and the five stewards were dismissed, and many servants were dismissed, and Barbara and I can guarantee absolute loyalty to the rest of them. ”

"Well, it's hard work, let's sit down and rest first. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

Listening to Miler's report, Roque was slightly surprised that only a third of the people remained, and he knew that only a small number of them could be dismissed, and many of them would never make it out of the manor alive.

It sounds cruel and ruthless, but this is the awareness that you must have as a manor owner, and you must not let danger stay by your side.

Moreover, since he was willing to come to the manor as a servant in the first place, he should be prepared to bear the thunderous anger of the owner of the manor when he did something wrong, and this is the price.

"Will the rest of the people be able to keep the manor running?" asked Roque after a moment of contemplation.

"Sir, rest assured, there is no problem at all, there are enough of these people in the manor. Millair looked at Barbara before reassuring.

"Well, if it's not enough, let's recruit externally, provided that loyalty is guaranteed. ”

"Understood. Mireel nodded earnestly.

"Yage, the fifteen swordsmen are handed over to you, train them fiercely, what I need is the strong, and if the weak are to destroy himself. ”

Looking at the other party's unfinished look, Roque suddenly thought of this idea.

"Okay, don't worry, my lord, I'll make them stronger. As soon as he heard that this was such a good thing, Yag immediately assured with great excitement that it was right for him.

"That's it for now, if you have anything else, come to the study and find me. Roque stood up.

"Your Excellency. At this time, Murdan's appearance was about to speak.

"Murdan, you can also help Yag first, I will call you if I need to, if you are really bored, you can look around the manor, the scenery here is quite good. As if guessing the other party's thoughts, Roque smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and spoke seriously.

In the study, the Duke was lying on his back on the table, purring like a blower, and a puddle of saliva dripping from the corners of his broad mouth, and the sun shining through the windowsill on its round gray belly.

"Hoohoo, hoohoo. ”

"Quack. ”

The Duke kicked his long legs from time to time, his mouth opening and closing wide, and when Roque walked in, his eyes were drawn to the sleeping position of the other man.

Syllable.

Roque walked straight over, slapped a crisp sound directly on the duke's belly, and then sat down in his chair.

"Quack, hum, purr"

The duke turned over lazily, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Roque, he immediately came to his senses.

"This table is so comfortable to sleep on, what are we going to do next. ”

"The spit of the toad, the lost prayer girl, the nine-square grid of the spiritual sea. Roque read the words softly, then looked at the Duke.

"This spell to seal the treasure, the spittle and the spiritual sea have been solved, so what is this lost prayer girl?"

"Uh-ha, do you want to know?" asked the duke, mysteriously.

"Come on, I want to get that treasure sooner. It was not surprising that the other party knew the answer, and at the moment he only hoped that the conditions were not too difficult to complete.

"Quack. ”

The Duke cleared his throat before speaking slowly.

"May a girl be a little girl, like Fili and wormwood. ”

"And then?" Roque always felt that the other party's answer was empty, and it was not the answer he wanted.

Then we will determine who the girl is who is praying. ”

"How can you be sure?" Roque felt slightly uneasy.

The Duke blinked and grinned.

"Of course it's my saliva, and if you eat my saliva, I can feel it if it's a praying girl. ”

Hearing such an answer, Roque was stunned, he had no idea that the toad's spit was used in this way, and when he thought about it, it seemed that the core of this spell was the Duke.

"Are you serious?" asked Fili and Wormwood to eat toad saliva, and Roque felt disgusted just thinking about it.

"If you want to find the Prayer Maiden, this is the only way to do it. "The duke was serious, not at all like a joke.

"Then it's always okay to add some coffee. Roque made a small request.

"Yes, as long as I have my saliva. ”
