Chapter Forty-Eight: A Free Helper

"Your Excellency, welcome back. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In Olly City, Lin Qiu, who had just returned to the City Lord's Fort, was welcomed by an old housekeeper and a few strange maids.

Lin Qiu nodded and set his eyes on several maids.

These maids were not what he asked for, probably because the old housekeeper felt that Lin Qiu was more or less a person with status, so why did he need some maids to decorate the faΓ§ade.

Although for Lin Qiu, these were unnecessary, he didn't mean to blame the old butler.

After taking off the dusty cloak and handing it to a maid, Lin Qiu sat on the sofa in the living room and asked lazily, "Old butler, how happened to the things you explained before?"

The old butler stood beside Lin Qiu respectfully, but in his respectful expression, he revealed a trace of doubt: "The construction in the territory has basically been completed, but Lord Lord, I really don't understand, what do you want to do with these flashy houses?"

"You'll find out later. Lin Qiu, who didn't want to explain too much, waved his hand, and then asked, "What about the Thieves' Guild?

The old butler shook his head when he heard this: "I'm sorry, lord. Although there is some news from the Thieves' Guild, it is all useless information, and they say that if you want more information, you will need to pay a higher fee. ”

A bunch of misers.

Lin Qiu's heart shattered, the gold coins on his body now are only more than 10,000 yuan, and he has already consumed thousands of gold coins before placing the Hua Yao sisters, and the gold coins on his body still have this other need place, it is basically impossible to pay a lot of money to buy intelligence.

"Someone from the Thieves' Guild came and said I had a deal to find them. Lin Qiu said, frowning: "In addition, bring all the useless information, I'll wait in the study." ”

At this time, Lin Qiu didn't want to let go of any information and clues, because without more useful information, the success rate of his plan would be one more point.

Even if it's useless information, he has to get information from it that he can use.

The old butler agreed, and then said a few words to a maid beside him, after which both the maid and the old butler retreated.

After the old housekeeper left, Lin Qiu left for the study, during which the two maids who wanted to follow him were also stopped by him, and let them move freely in the city lord's fort, and they didn't need to worry about him.

Back in the study, Lin Qiu sat on the chair a little depressed, because he had just relaxed before, and now he had entered the usual cautious state again, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It's like just getting off Sunday and going back to school or work on Monday, and unless you're a workaholic, not many people like it.

Obviously, Lin Qiu is not such a workaholic, if he can, he even wants to go to a more casual world and grow vegetables honestly.

However, his current identity and situation doomed him to not be able to do such a thing.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Lord Lord, I have brought you the information you wanted. ”

As there was a knock on the door, the crisp voice of a certain maid came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Lin Qiu sat up straight, took a deep breath, and said softly after adjusting his state: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and the pretty girl in a black and white classic maid outfit looked like a country and a city, but it was eye-catching.

The little maid walked into the study with a stack of white papers, she seemed to be a little nervous, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lin Qiu more.

The little maid took over the information from her hand, and just as he was about to watch it, the little maid standing by the side suddenly said in a soft voice: "My lord, if you can, I think the ninth, twenty-third and thirty-fourth pieces of information will be of some use to you." ”

"Huh?" Lin Qiu raised his head in some surprise, although the little maid's voice was very small, he still heard it clearly.

Under Lin Qiu's direct gaze, the little maid's petite body trembled slightly, and then she raised her voice a little as much as possible, but she still said in a small voice: "I have read all this information when I was cleaning, although I am not sure, but I think these three pieces of information are indeed more valuable to watch......"

Lin Qiu didn't speak, just skimmed the information in his hand as fast as he could.

The atmosphere was a little quiet, the little maid stood aside and didn't dare to make the slightest movement, she didn't even dare to leave here before Lin Qiu didn't speak.

After a while, Lin Qiu finally put down the intelligence information in his hand, but he still didn't speak, at this time the little maid finally couldn't help but move her gaze up a little, and what entered her line of sight was Lin Qiu's smiling expression.

The little maid's heart jumped, but she heard Lin Qiu finally say slowly: "Little guy, you are not very old, and your courage is not small, you even dare to read this kind of information?

"I ...... I'm afraid ......" seemed to be frightened by Lin Qiu's words, and the little maid's body trembled, but even so, she still mustered up the courage to say, "But...... I...... I hope the lord will give me a chance!"

"You want a chance to prove yourself?" Lin Qiu stood up, walked over to the little maid, and began to circle around her.

Being scrutinized by Lin Qiu from all around, the little maid looked even more nervous, and she was still a little confident, and her voice became a little quieter: "Yes...... Yes. ”

"I don't think there's any need for that. Lin Qiu suddenly spoke, but his words made the little maid's heart sink.

"My lord, please, I don't mean anything else, I just want a place where I can protect myself, and for this I am willing to contribute my abilities, please give me a chance to prove it!?"

The little maid who explained in a panic finally stopped lowering her head, and the moment she looked up, she found Lin Qiu sitting on the table in her study, looking at her with a smile on her face.

"I think you misunderstood me, you've already proven your abilities, haven't you?" Lin Qiu stretched out his hand and patted the intelligence information on the side, and then he asked, "But I'm curious, why did you choose me?" Also, I think you still need to tell me your origin and background, even if it's just a fabricated story, I think it's necessary. ”

The little maid looked overjoyed when she heard this, and the panic in her heart disappeared a lot in an instant, she looked at Lin Qiu, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I will explain it clearly for you, as long as you are willing to give me enough trust, I think you will not be disappointed!"

The corners of Lin Qiu's mouth were slightly hooked, if nothing else, he should have picked up a good helper this time.

If that's the case, I should really thank the old butler......
