Chapter 22.1-A: Captain of the Guard
·
You accepted a personal commission from Lady Edward.
"Then we'll leave after dark, shall we?"
"Please wait a minute! the president still has a lot of things to do, so it's not too many days, right?"
Oh, okay...... Lady Edward's happy expression was extinguished by Hathaway's bucket of cold water just three seconds after it appeared, but it also made sense, it was clear that the guild had a lot of things to deal with after the war, and it couldn't leave immediately. The final conclusion is that Lady Edward will ask you again every evening.
Even looking at the back of Lady Edward's departure, it was easy to see that she was very happy.
In addition, there is another person who is very happy,
Extraordinary.
Adele smiled like a flower, and this was the first time.
Fieltin was temporarily relieved of her duties as receptionist and concentrated on training, and Adele was the only one sitting behind the counter in the Adventurer's Guild Hall. Now that business is sluggish, even a single receptionist can keep it busy. Actually, it's particularly idle. How idle are you?
Adele was gently holding the spoon in her left hand, blowing and blowing carefully, feeding Jerky porridge to Matthew's mouth.
"Whew, whew...... Is it hot?"
"Very good. ”
Ahh There was no change in the expression of the person who was fed by the beauty, but the face of the feeder was so happy that his face was about to melt. It's summer, but the atmosphere around Adele is as happy and pleasant as spring flowers, making it difficult to look at directly. Three teams of mercenaries in the hall have been putting up with this vicious dog food for a long time, and their faces are full of black lines.
What's the situation?
Why did Matthew ...... and did these two finally live a life without shame?
Coughing lightly, Hathaway explained helplessly: "That's impossible." Poor Adele hasn't woken up yet. ”
This morning, Matthew was woken up by Sein's snoring, and then came to the hall in a daze with a tired face covering his chest, and was instantly caught by Julianne. Julianne yelled, "Don't pretend, you're injured, come, I'll treat you!" Matthew did a one-finger push-up on the spot. After desperately resisting, he finally got Julian to go to the treatment center, and Matthew's right hand couldn't be raised at all. He's hard enough, too. ”
"Breakfast was ready, Adele brought porridge to Matthew, Matthew didn't dare to reluctantly serve a bowl to eat for fear of provoking Julianne, so he ......"
And then the conversation became—"Can you feed me?" "Ah, is that really, really?" "Well, please. "Okay, okay! hee-hee-hee......" It turned into Matthew's painful eating, and Adele was kept in the dark and fed happily, not thinking about why this was happening.
No one could bear to expose all this.
You, silently looking at Matthew, the straight man of steel.
In fact, a long time ago, one day you didn't know, Fieltin couldn't stand it anymore, and once found Matthew and bluntly said, "Adele likes you!" "I know, she is my very important junior." In the end, Fieltin was lying in Adele's arms crying, and it was not known who was sympathizing with whom.
Hathaway nodded,
Three groups of mercenaries are approaching you one after another, and they salute one after another—the kind of etiquette for nobles.
Hathaway handed you three thick pieces of information: "President, you were supposed to interview the Labyrinth Camp 'Future Guard Captain' in the conference room or your own room, but it has burned down there, so. Because she is very familiar with the mercenary team, she has also investigated comprehensively, "This is probably the most important thing this morning." ”
Today, Monday,
This group of mercenaries is not obliged to contribute to the Adventurers' Guild at all, and of course there is a plan for working hard. The youth rice licking blood on the knife edge is not what everyone yearns for, at least these three teams hope to get ahead and have an official position, even if it is a small official position.
Hathaway did everything that offended people, and only three of the mercenary teams were left with the highest average level and the most attentive. There is only one official position, you don't have to care about other people's disappointments and frustrations, Hathaway will take care of it.
The first mercenary captain salutes you again. He did what Hathaway had instructed this morning, and asked you to be as brief as possible for the position of captain of the guard.
"Honorable Baron, I beg your pardon for having to make a long story short - if I were lucky enough to be the captain of the guard of the labyrinth camp, I would do the first thing: expand the guard and form a volunteer militia. Many civilians currently do not have stable jobs, and farms and arable land are outside the walls, which can both expand the garrison and reduce the internal pitfalls of unemployment. ”
Well, you nodded in satisfaction,
Look through the information. The three captains are all level 9, and they have enough experience, so there is not much to find fault with in terms of strength. However, at the end of his information is written this remark - "There is a tendency to corruption, and it is inevitable that part of the funds for the formation of the militia will be stolen." 」
Belch......
The second mercenary captain salutes you: "Salute you, honorable lord. If I have the honor of being the captain of your guard, I will first strengthen the supervision of thieves and other illegal acts, and set up temporary prisons to further improve the level of security. In this way, foreign merchants can come and go with more peace of mind, and your territory will be more prosperous. ”
Yes, you nodded in satisfaction,
Looking through the information, the note at the end reads - "Laying out informants is a common means to increase the rate of case closure, and it is also a common start for a family of soldiers and bandits. 」
......
The third mercenary captain salutes you: "It's a great honor for me to meet my lord. If I could be promoted by you to be the captain of the guard of the labyrinth camp, I would first stand in the square and sing your praises so that everyone could hear it clearly. As you may already know, a handful of civilians can't understand your policy of sheltering the merfolk and cooperating with the Ancient City Market, and complain about some of them. They need a little more support and understanding for your hard work. ”
Very well, you nodded in satisfaction.
Look through the information.
"If civilians are not enemies, civilians are not enemies. Preach → persuade → detain, and then it is the high-pressure rule to maintain centralized power. 」
Who are these people!
You look at Hathaway,
Hathaway twisted her face away. This is often the case with employing people, if there is really a perfect employee, they will already be the employer. If you are not satisfied, you can do everything, but it is impossible to be busy.
What are you going to do?
A, hire the first team
B, hire a second team
C, hire a third team
D, all rejected. It is tantamount to pouring a lot of cold water on the mercenaries, and the ancient city market will also take the opportunity to stuff better talents.
