Volume II: Chapter 141: Final Preparations

The next day, Saul, dressed in black, appeared at the door of the Garfield family mansion for the third time.

Shoved a silver coin into each of the two guards at the gate, then the guards turned and entered the inner house to report, and were summoned a moment later, almost the same process as Thor had visited the previous two times.

It's just that the first time Thor came just after the morning, under the guise of the Brotherhood, came to talk to Rianna about business. The second time was to deal with the gems in Sevana's lake, and to leave after talking.

It was just past noon today, and Thor had come to Rianna for help, empty-handed.

Again following the old butler of the mansion through the winding aisle of carpets, delicate small statues and famous paintings, Thor also pretended to admire it a few times, and then, without realizing it.

In the study where they first met, Thor saw Rianna again in a purple dark striped dress.

She was sitting behind a large desk reviewing accounts and other documents, and the old butler led Thor into the room, and stood with his hands down to the side, waiting for Rianna's orders.

At this time, Ruianna's long hair was no longer loose, but delicately coiled at the back of her head, and she was also tied with a small floral piping headdress. The whole person still looks girly, but more formal and capable, and less casual.

It seems that this room is not a study, it should be the place where Rianna usually handles the family's affairs, Saul judged, and went straight to the delicate high-backed chair covered with soft leather and sat down.

With his cheekiness, it would be foolish to stand aside and wait, and that would not be in his style.

Hey, where did you come from, the wild boy, the master didn't invite you to sit on your own, there is really no image at all, the old butler standing on the side rolled his eyes.

Image?How many mushrooms can the image be exchanged?Is it meaning?Thor turned his head and smiled at the old butler, revealing two rows of white teeth.

After Ruianna finished reading the document in her hand and signed it to the butler, and the old butler withdrew, the maid quickly brought two cups of steaming fragrant tea. Saul picked it up and sniffed, last time it was Suairi fragrant tea, oh, this time it was black tea, it seems to have added some sugar, it tastes good.

"I really didn't expect to meet again so soon. Liana took a sip of her tea, her gaze sweeping over Thor.

"Yes, Hughes always said that things are impermanent, and I always thought that was right. Thor raised his glass.

In fact, not only did Rianna not think of it, but Thor himself didn't expect it.

It is obviously impossible to drown oneself in sorrow for a long time, and it is not in line with the orphan's philosophy of survival. So after being depressed for a few days, after the nerves that should have been sent out, Saul could only pick up life again and return to his own trajectory.

As for what to do in the future? But when Thor thought about it, what to do became a problem.

Now he doesn't have anything urgent in his hands, if you really want to say that there is one thing at present, to be promoted to the second order.

On the eve of his promotion, Thor suddenly thought of a question.

Barton Semir claimed that he had been asleep for twenty-three days when he was promoted to the second rank, and Thor was not sure how many days he would need, even if he was lucky enough to successfully cross the door of death for promotion, he was optimistic that he would still need it in seven or eight days, or more than ten days.

So the question now is, who will take care of you while you are asleep? You can't always be alone in the hut without a sound, right? What if you starve to death? What if you want to pee? These are obviously all problems.

It was only at this time that Thor suddenly realized that the promotion was still such a troublesome thing, not only was he not afraid of death, but he also had to include all kinds of trivial matters such as eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Looking around the town now, Thor doesn't seem to have any reliable friends anymore.

Maybe you can let the giant Barton take care of himself, not to mention whether Barton's size will take care of people, the key is that he also has his own miscellaneous work, which is obviously unrealistic.

Thor had wanted to hire a temporary servant in the town, but things were out of his control as soon as he fell asleep. What if the servant runs away with the money, or if something happens and the servant doesn't know how to deal with it?

So Saul believes that his top priority is to need a safe environment and most importantly a reliable person. So he was going to come to Ruianna and borrow a servant temporarily, and he would be responsible for the servant's salary, and then he would open a room in the inn in the town.

As for the ending, it's very simple, if you die on the way to the next level, then bury it, and if you don't die, you will always wake up. With a family as big as Garfield pressed here, presumably the servants would not dare to put their lives and deaths at risk.

That's why Thor reappeared in front of Rianna today.

"Before you left, you ran to my door and put a bunch of cruel words about yourself, so that I saw through my nature, but you are still sitting here today, don't you feel embarrassed?"

"And at last night's celebration, I offered to help you, but you pretended to be deep and refused, and today you came to me for help again, is this a roundabout strategy?" Rianna's slender eyelashes flashed, not changing her usual teasing style in the slightest.

Thor had already been mentally prepared, he knew that he would come to ask for help today, and he would inevitably be caught by this naughty lady for a hard time. Hearing Rianna's move at this moment, Thor tilted his head slightly and pretended to look at the space under Rianna's desk.

"Why are your beautiful little feet hidden today? What a pity! Didn't you say that you should study walking seriously? I don't know how it is going? I can't help but take a look before leaving, and maybe I can give a few heartfelt suggestions. Thor fought back quietly.

Ruianna's face turned red suddenly, she didn't expect this hateful guy to attack from this direction, she was a little flustered for a while, and the white ankles in the skirt under the table subconsciously dodged in.

"Ahem...... Ahem, let's talk about you specifically, it's official time, it's not appropriate to make small talk!" Rianna coughed lightly and forcibly changed the subject.

Thor smiled meaningfully and said his thoughts.

Rianna listened carefully, and although she didn't know much about the adventure field, she had heard about some key points.

In this territory, a second-order professional is strictly speaking a mid-to-high-end talent, and the entire Garfield family is only two second-order, one is responsible for guarding the mansion, and the other is responsible for caravan trade.

At this moment, hearing that Thor was about to embark on the path of the second order, Ruianna was inevitably a little surprised. After all, Thor is about the same age as her, but he has already come to the threshold of promotion, and I didn't expect this guy to be quite powerful.

"So, you're looking for me to borrow a maid temporarily?" Rianna's tone seemed a little strange.

"Not a maid, preferably male, oh, and preferably a little older. Thor emphasized, with a dark face.

"It's a strange request, well, I promise you, you don't need to mention anything about it, it's just a small thing. As for the idea that you are going to find a room in the hotel, there are many rooms in our house, you can choose one yourself, and the servants live close to it to take care of you. Ruianna waved her hand generously.

"Why bother me, then I'll go and see the room now!" Thor stood up politely, and then quickly stepped on the cheap tail, with the thick defense of the Garfield family, his own safety was undoubtedly more guaranteed.

"Poof~" Seeing Thor's hypocritical and failed appearance, Rianna couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Everyone else is looking for young and beautiful maids, in fact, you don't have to be embarrassed, I can arrange a caring little maid for you alone, the very obedient kind, how about it?" Rianna blinked, looking at Thor playfully.

"In fact, if the eldest lady is willing to deign to accompany me personally, I think I will definitely be on the road to advancement, and it is possible to wake up that day. Thor calmly bared two rows of white teeth.

Rianna rolled her pretty eyes, and then called the old butler to take Thor away.

"Uncle Keane, I'll bother you to take care of it for the next few days. Thor paid tribute to the old servant who led the way, Keane, who was nearly fifty years old and a very kind-looking man, who had been arranged by the old butler to take care of his life for the next few days.

"Ha, Young Master Sol is welcome, don't worry, my old Keane will definitely take care of the young master in the coming days. The wrinkles on Keane's face twisted together to piece together an earthy smile.

"I'm not a young master, you can just call me Thor. Saul explained.

"How's that going to happen, you're the eldest lady's honored guest!" Keane insisted solemnly.

Seeing the stubbornness of old Keane, Saul opened his mouth, Okay, then be honorable once in a while, you can be happy.

I have to feel the superior quality of life of the Garfield family, even an ordinary guest room is not inferior to the mansion of the middle-class family in the town, although the space is not large, but the interior decoration is exquisite and atmospheric.

The inner corner of the room is also separated by an embroidered curtain screen, behind which a two-stage platform is erected, allowing guests to enjoy a drink alone behind the screen at any time.

Thor looked around the room alone, happy with everything, though he didn't have much of a drink.

Keane Sr. wasn't going to stay here all day, and he didn't have to, he would just come over at mealtime to pour some fine soup for Thor, and usually come around to see if anything unusual was going on.

It was afternoon, and Thor sat on the edge of the soft bed and took out the soul crystal. He was going to absorb the last demon soul he needed, then rub Rianna for dinner, and then go to sleep tonight and embark on his own advanced journey.

Stretching out his palm to feel the unheated demon spirit, Thor wondered if there was anything missing in the whole process. However, the moment the demon soul swayed and disappeared into the palm of his hand, he suddenly felt a strong sleepiness sweeping over, and then the whole person fell straight to the bed.

It turns out that from the second order, it is no longer through self-sleep to complete the promotion, but after the number of demon souls is enough, it is forced to fall asleep. Good thing I'm not in the wilderness, that's Thor's last thought before he loses consciousness.
