In front of the yellow-brown city wall, the bluestone slab official road that can accommodate four extended carriages and carriages extends from the city gate to the outside of the city.

On both sides of the official road are flower beds, where heather, lilies, artichokes and tulips form a beautiful and symmetrical pattern, and jade-like blue-white alabaster encloses the flower beds. In the center of the flower bed are two small fountains with two tiers of jumping, and the clear water that constantly changes the direction of spraying according to the time of day is like a beaded curtain, which makes every visitor to the city-state feel refreshed for the first time.

The goddess of Fermis, who has mastered the atmosphere and the clouds, has been sunny since the early morning today, the bluestone pavement washed by the rain is spotless, and the crowd of people dressed in bright colors outside the city gate is particularly eye-catching.

"How long will we wait! We've been waiting for more than two magic hours since three o'clock in the afternoon! It's just that Uncle Thomson and they are back, do they need to make such a big move? ”

In the crowd, a young girl with a fashionable large woven flower parasol grumbled in a low voice.

This is not to blame her, although the winter sun is not violent, but from the time when the sun is in full bloom to the present, it has indeed made the pampered girl suffer enough.

"You know what! Not to mention that this is the order of the head of the family, even if there is no such order, everyone can't wait to meet the future head of the family! The brother beside the girl rebuked in a low voice.

"Even if he is the last remaining heir of his current head of the family, he has not yet inherited the position of the head of the family, and even the head of the family, returning to the ancestral house may not be such a big battle this time!" The girl was dissatisfied.

"Ha, they are so eager to welcome it, but it's not just to welcome it! Some people are even more willing to die because their secret hopes are shattered, and they are unwilling to see that family come back alive with their own eyes! ”

The girl's brother alluded to the middle-aged man with brown hair standing in the front position, with a large back.

The middle-aged man didn't know the arrangement of the juniors behind him, and he heard his son beside him remind him that "the convoy has arrived", and his spirit was shocked. Look at the caravan that appeared at the end of the bluestone road.

The dusty caravan employee guards in front of the caravan were directly ignored by him, and their eyes swept over, fixed on a few pale yellow carriages splashed with muddy water, with a family crest hanging on the outside of the carriages, and the dark blue sails stood out very much on the white background.

"Hurry up and greet you!"

Hope was shattered, the facial muscles twitched slightly, and the brown-haired middle-aged man called his son and led someone to greet him.

……

"Why are so many people coming? How did they know about our itinerary? ”

Lin An got off the horse and just heard Andre ask with a little dissatisfaction.

"I guess yesterday when I was in Black Coal, I saw Mr. Edward go out in the rain. It was as if he had a letter in his hand. Athena jumped out of the carriage. Wen Yan replied.

"What's wrong?" Lin An carried the corner of the robe. Slowly get out of the car.

She saw Saleen dealing with Simon and his son and a strange middle-aged man.

There were a dozen or so richly dressed men and women on their side, who couldn't come over to talk because they didn't know each other, but the young men in the group looked at them curiously. When he saw them coming, he smiled reservedly and kindly.

Some of them were also looking vaguely, most of their eyes focused on the Demon Blood Horse and the robes, and the young Athena also received a lot of attention.

"They want to invite us to his family." Andrei snorted.

What are the intentions of the Simons, it is simply too obvious, when they are fools?

At this time, Master Simon, the brown-haired middle-aged man, and a group of servants of the clan came over with Salin, and sure enough, they expressed a similar meaning to Andre.

Brunette middle-aged after Sarayn's relay. Smile and try to invite.

He saw that most of the mercenaries in this group were young people in their early twenties, even if they knew that the other party was a mage, they subconsciously despised two points:

Their family is not without children who have learned magic, although they have two hands of magic, but they are not familiar with affairs. I can't tell the difference between the interests and the harm, pour a few glasses of wine, say a few good words, and don't you make them flutter, and immediately exchange the things that Thomson gave away? It's a big deal, give them a hundredfold return!

He didn't know that almost all of the young people in front of him had a clear understanding of what he was thinking.

In the letter written by Master Simon home, he lightly exposed the situation encountered on the way, so that those who read the letter subconsciously thought that they were just lucky and came back safely, and because of Lin An's age, they inevitably misestimated them.

"The banquet can be held at any time, but since the task has been completed, should we go to the Mercenary Association to hand over and settle the task?" Andre glanced at the other party and said to Master Simon.

"In Thomson's letter home, he has written down the twists and turns of escorting their family, and the head of the family is grateful to you for your righteous deeds, and has prepared a banquet at home, if you don't dislike it, can you move to the Burrow, and let us wash your dust?"

The brown-haired middle-aged man didn't seem to notice Andre's ignorance of him at all, and said with an understanding smile, "It's almost noon, and you guys probably need to take out some freshening time, just in time for the dance to start - as for the handover of tasks, it's just a trivial matter, just let the domestic servant do it!" ”

Does this guy really think they're all fools?

Andre laughed angrily, and was in the mood to tease the brown-haired middle-aged, and said in a long voice:

"I don't value the hundred or so Séphnes, but the problem is that our dealings with Mr. Simon are more than just the hundred or so Ginséphine—for this, the Brown steward of the Medusa Comptoir and the head of Barrow they hired this time can be witnesses."

The brown-haired middle-aged man froze his expression, glanced at the expressionless Lord Simon, and said with a stiff smile:

"Thomson also mentioned this matter in the letter, but it is not detailed, and there are some objections in our family about the things that Thomson traded with you, so we think that we should go to our house to discuss it in detail......

"You mean, the Simon family is going to pay their debts?!"

Andre raised his voice, causing some people near the city gate to look at him curiously, and many of the Simon family's children turned red.

The brown-haired middle-aged man also secretly screamed that it was not good, what he was most worried about was that the other party would make trouble outside regardless of it, so he wanted to coax this group of young people to his home.

If it was another occasion, after the Simon family was fully prepared, it was completely possible to suppress the other party by means and the benefit of the landlord, but now the other party could immediately pull out two witnesses. Once the trouble is big, the Simon family has no defensible reason.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, seeing that this male mage was so young, could he even be so sophisticated?

Andre didn't have as many twists in the other party's stomach, he was purely not afraid of big things, and his natural intuition was beneficial to him, so he didn't hesitate to do it.

"Mr. Simon, what do you mean?" Too lazy to stalemate with the brown-haired middle-aged, Andre lowered his face and asked the owner directly.

"Of course not. Our Simon family started with credibility. We will not do anything that discredits us. Since I have signed an employment contract with you, I will not be paid less! It's just that I also want to invite a few people to our party, not to discuss anything - since the things are in my hands, of course I have full authority to dispose of them. After all, this is almost the life of my whole family! ”

Master Simon, who had not made a sound, glanced at his cousin and said categorically, "But the handover of that thing must also have a public witness, so as not to find some trouble in the future, and it will inevitably be unclear - of course, it is better for Steward Brown and Head Barrow to be present." ”

Andre's face was a little pale, and he thought that Master Simon's request was not too much, and he was about to nod. The brown-haired middle-aged man had already put away his smile and reprimanded:

"Thomson, what nonsense are you talking about, you allow you to do this! Are you confused in your mind! ”

He turned his face and said to Andrei with some annoyance:

"Thomson was at the time of his contract with you. Maybe he didn't make it clear, but the two things he promised you didn't belong to him, but to Master Morgan! If you don't know what's going on, you're going to have a nightmare when you get these two things—you know, the masters don't like their things being contaminated by others! ”

He paused with a look of "I am kind and well-intentioned for your sake", as if he wanted to see the shocked and panicked reactions of Andre and the others, but what he got was a cold scene.

Master Simon said lightly on the side: "Cousin Lao bothered, but the origin of these two things, when I signed the contract, I had already made it clear to Master Andre. ”

"What!"

The brown-haired middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and when he looked at Andre and Lin An and the others, sure enough, they were not moved in the slightest by what he claimed.

He looked around, and suddenly realized that his son and the other clansmen who had come to greet him were separated by a faint barrier, and he had been so focused that he didn't notice it.

The middle-aged man saw his son and his clansmen watching them talk for no reason outside the enchantment, and finally came to his senses, and pointed at Lord Simon in disbelief:

"You, you...... Thomson! In order to save your life, you colluded with outsiders to steal Master Morgan's things! Do you know the consequences of your actions, our family is destroyed by your stupidity! ”

reprimanded Master Simon, and he said to Andre awe-inspiringly:

"Now that you know the inside story, I won't hide it, Helena and her teacher have come to our house for those two things! If so, it's better to be knowledgeable, otherwise when Master Morgan personally intervenes, even your division commander won't be able to protect you! ”

"Is it all over? You can get out of the way! ”

Andre sneered and glanced at the brown-haired middle-aged man, turned his head to Master Simon and said, "This guy is too much of an eyesore, it's okay if we want to go to your house and explain it in person, but he is not allowed to appear in our field of vision!" ”
