The blade pulled up his visor, and his expression was a little shy.

As the son of the Imperial Overseer, if he really becomes a guardian knight, if he pays attention to identity matching, the object to be protected may only be the princess of the Empire. Now he suddenly meets a young girl who asks if he can become a guardian knight, and he can't help but find it funny.

"Who are you?" Blade asked with interest.

"My name is Janice Franklin, and I'm a merchant from the southern coastal provinces of the Empire. "The fox girl is generous and authentic.

When he heard that the fox maiden's surname was 'Franklin' and that she was from the Maritime Province, Blade's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "Do you know Ayub Franklin?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Janice's eyes, and she asked, "Do you know Ayub Franklin?"

Blade laughed and said, "Who among us orcs doesn't know him?

Janice had a proud look on her face and said, "Ayub Franklin is my uncle!"

After seeing that the girl proved that she was really a member of the richest family in the empire, the blade couldn't help but be surprised, he originally saw that the escort force of this business brigade was only a fifth-level minotaur warrior and a few cat people with no combat effectiveness, and thought that it was just an ordinary business brigade of a small family, but he didn't expect it to have a great background.

However, Blade didn't immediately believe Janice's words, but looked at Janice suspiciously. After all, if Ayub Franklin was her own uncle, as Janice said, then her status in the Franklin family would definitely not be low. The Franklin family has been a businessman for generations, and not only has already spread their business all over the country, but even done business in the human kingdom of the Eastern Continent. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is the business of the Franklin family in the poor mountains and bad waters and the smoke-filled grasslands of the northern frontier, but the strange thing is that in such a treacherous place where there is not much oil and water, the person in charge of the Franklin family will be the niece of the richest man in the orcs?

Besides, in the northern grasslands full of robbers, the niece of the richest man of the orcs not only personally escorted the goods at risk, but also the guards around him were just a minotaur?

The more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt, and he asked the doubts in his heart: "There are many bandits on the grasslands of Northern Xinjiang, and there are endless things to rob caravans, and you only find a fifth-level warrior as a guard to dare to escort goods on the road?"

Janice blushed and said, "I don't have much money, so I can only hire a guard!"

"Ayub Franklin's niece, will she be short of money?"

Janice finally heard the suspicion in the werewolf knight's words, her pretty face was stiff, and there was a look of anger between her eyebrows: "Are you doubting my identity?"

Blade smiled, noncommittal, acquiescing to Janice's words.

At this time, the old butler of the cat man in the caravan also came to Janice's side, and happened to hear the conversation between the two, so he said unhappily: "This noble Wolf knight, we are very grateful that you saved us from the goblins. But don't you think it's a loss of chivalry to doubt our identities for no reason?"

Blade Heart said I am not untargeted, it is true that your caravan is too shabby, and it does not have the demeanor of the caravan of the richest family in the empire at all!

However, Blade didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he saved the caravan just for the sake of everyone being orcs, and the two sides were originally meeting in Pingshui, and he was not interested in the origin of the caravan. The reason why Fang asked so much was only because Janice's surname and place of origin made him suddenly associate with it.

"Hehe, I was rude!" Blade apologized.

Seeing that Blade apologized, the faces of Janice and the old butler of the cat man also softened.

Janice explained, "Every generation of our young people in the Franklin family will be given a trial assignment about business before they start their careers in the family business. Only after completing the trial tasks assigned by the family will we be recognized by the family and allowed to participate in the family business. The trial task I received from my family this time was to earn 10,000 gold coins in the Northern Xinjiang Grassland with 200 gold coins in one year. That's why I came to the northern grasslands this time, and I only carried 200 gold coins with me. And these two hundred gold coins cover not only the expenses of my purchase and sale, but also the expenses of the family servants who came with me to the northern grasslands. Therefore, I am very short of money, so even if I know that it is extremely dangerous to trade in the northern grasslands, I can only afford to hire a guard!"

"Earn fifty times the profit in a year? The difficulty of your trial task is not small! That minotaur is the guard you hired temporarily to escort this cargo after you came to the Northern Xinjiang Grassland, right? The other cat people should be the domestic servants you brought? There is no shortage of high-skilled guards in the Franklin family, why don't you bring one to the Northern Xinjiang Grassland, but bring these ordinary domestic servants who have no combat effectiveness? The Northern Xinjiang Grassland is not a peaceful world, it is a chaotic place, there is no strong force to protect it, and the probability of the goods being robbed is extremely high. "Blade Road.

"The salaries of the high-ranking guards in the family are too high, and the two hundred gold coins I have on me are the start-up capital for my business, and if I have to use some of them to pay their salaries, I am not confident that I can earn ten thousand gold coins in a year. Janice said calmly.

"The Northern Xinjiang Grassland is a troubled time, the elders of your family actually rest assured that you will let a weak woman complete the trial mission here? Aren't they afraid that you will leave your life here?" The sharp blade shook his head for a while, and the vulgar plot of the fox girl being involved in the grievances of a wealthy family and being designed by the opponent in the family to choose the trial mission in the dangerous realm in order to achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife.

However, Janice did not show the frustration that Blade expected, but said proudly: "This is the reason why our Franklin family can grow into the richest family in the empire! For the sake of wealth, we are never short of adventure. Even if it's the daughter of the Franklin family, it's the same!"

Blade was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"Now continuing with my previous proposal, would you like to be my guardian knight?" Janice asked, staring at the blade again.

"Huh, still coming?" Blade was stunned, but Janice was so persistent in making herself her guardian knight.

Even if Janice was indeed the niece of the richest man in the Empire, her status would not allow Blade, the son of an Imperial Overseer, to be her guardian knight. Unless, of course, Blade himself is willing to take the initiative to become her guardian knight. But this is impossible, after all, the two have only met for the first time, and they have no friendship at all. Even if Janice is beautiful and attractive, Blade is not a person who covets beauty, and will not be her guardian knight for the sake of Janice's beauty.

"Miss Janice, thank you so much for your kindness, I don't want to be anyone's guardian knight just yet!" Blade smiled.

Hearing that Blade had rejected him, Janice's expectant eyes suddenly became disappointed.

And at this moment, the wolf cavalry of the Blade Squad also gathered after cleaning the battlefield, when they heard Janice declare her identity and the solicitation of Blade

, all of them looked envious, but after hearing the sharp blade's answer, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of incredulity.

Although the orcs admired military force and despised merchants, for them, the low-level orc warriors, being able to climb into the relationship with the richest family in the empire and become the guardian knight of the richest family member was tantamount to ascending to the sky! They couldn't understand why Blade refused to do so!

"Chief, Miss Janice is a lady of the Franklin family, and the niece of Ayub Franklin!" Bart winked at Blade, suggesting that he retract what he had just said.

"It is said that the wealth of the Franklin family is not only second to none in our country, but even the top rich people in the prosperous human countries in the Eastern Continent!"

"I've heard that the average knight in the Franklin family has a gold coin for their monthly salary, so the guardian knight must be even higher. Captain, your current salary is only five silver coins a month, even if you look at this salary gap, you should agree!"

"Yes, Captain, besides, Miss Janice is so beautiful, you can be her guardian knight, that's a lot of money!"

"That's right, and the building near the water gets the moon first, captain, after you become Miss Janice's guardian knight, you get along for a long time, and you have a love affair over time, maybe you can become the fast son-in-law of the richest family!

"I think this Miss Janice seems to have a crush on the Captain! The Captain might be Miss Janice's husband!"

"Hero save beauty, Miss Janice may have made a secret promise to the captain!"

"Well, I think so, too!"

......

A group of wolf cavalry persuaded the blade with nonsense, and the reason was relatively serious at first, but it became more and more outrageous in the back. The blade finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his face turned blue and shouted: "Shut up!" This is the end of the nonsense of his subordinates.

Janice's purpose for making Blade her guardian knight was simple, because Blade's heroic appearance in the battle with the goblins left a good impression on her. But after hearing the chaotic coaxing words of those wolf cavalry, her heart full of romantic heroism was instantly destroyed, and she couldn't help but be angry and angry.

However, Janice also knew that most of the soldiers in the emperor ** were big and coarse, and the dog's mouth could not spit out ivory, and she had lost her identity by worrying with them, so she took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance in her heart.

At this moment, Janice's heart was full of unwillingness. Originally, with her wealthy family background and amazing beauty, many knights from noble children recommended themselves to serve as her guardian knights, but she refused. Now he took the initiative to send an invitation to the blade to protect the knight, but he was refused. This made her arrogant and unacceptable for a while.

Just as Janice hesitated whether she needed to give up her reserve and continue to extend an invitation to Blade to change his mind, Blade said goodbye.

"Miss Janice, I wish you a smooth follow-up journey of the caravan, and I wish you to complete the family's trial mission as soon as possible! We have to rush to Warsong Castle in a hurry, so we will take our leave!"

As soon as the blade left, the other wolf cavalry quickly followed.

When Janice saw the werewolf knight leading the crowd away, she couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted, "Can you tell me your name?"

"Shatterclaw, Iron Mane!" the werewolf knight didn't look back, but his voice came from the wind.
