Chapter 262: Embedding
Needless to say, Gegu's eyes were full of surprise when he was sure that the man and woman in front of him were the Awakened One.
Although he had heard that the Awakened could take on human form, he subconsciously didn't believe it at first, until Annabelle nodded to him as well.
Gegu is not a man without courage, and the demons and awakened ones who invaded Rapoll some time ago also made him have a strong adaptation to these inhuman creatures, so he adjusted his mentality in a blink of an eye, and after confirming with Li Fang that Ricarudo and Octavia would not be a threat now, he invited the group to enter the Cyril family's mansion.
Next to the neatly manicured verdant lawn, there are many courteous servants, and from their attitude towards Gegu along the way, Li Fang is a little relieved, it seems that the Cyril family is still quite good to Gegu, the son-in-law of the "inverted door".
The group soon came to a well-organized house, the rooms were simply and orderly, and from the familiar armor and weapons hanging on the walls, it could be guessed that this should be Gegu's current residence.
"Sit down here," said Gegu, who walked to a small red round table, beckoned to the crowd, and then said to the still servant standing next to him, "Sim, a little wine is needed here." ”
After each of them sat down, the servants quickly brought up the wine glasses and two plates of snacks.
Gegu smiled and complimented, then waved his hand to let the servant retreat, and only he and Li Fang were left in the room.
Although he was dressed richly, his burly and strong body and resolute face could completely control the clothes on his body.
Li Fang looked at Gegu's appearance that he was now comfortable and comfortable with aristocratic life, and sincerely admired: "This is what I originally remembered that a nobleman should look like." ”
Whether it was Conrad or Cyril, who was too cautious and lacked ideas, they were quite disappointing to Li Fang.
"Don't speak with your conscience, I'll listen seriously." Gegu shook his head as he spoke, and said bitterly: "You don't know how I've spent this time, an old man of my age, and I'm forced to learn this and that, hey, I don't know what Xue Du has been doing in the past two days." ”
"This self-deprecating humor was also learned?" Li Fang unceremoniously pinched a piece of dim sum and still held it in his mouth, "I haven't seen Xue Du since I came back yesterday, he won't be pursuing a girl, right?" "Xue Du was hit in the face by Minian's bouquet at Gegu's wedding, Li Fang simply remembers it vividly.
"Haha, it's a possibility." Gegu smiled and looked back at Ricarudo and Octavia.
"You should say something, or your friend will be on the lookout." Octavia's hands are on her overlapping knees, her reserved posture fits her temperament well, but there is a bit of casualness in her eyes.
Li Fang naturally knew that she was talking to herself, and looking at the silent Gegu, he finally decided to say something.
"Gegu, Ai Hua should have reported a lot of things to the church after she came back, and you should have learned a lot from the church, right?"
"Well, I admire their bravery and selflessness." Gegu nodded and said.
"Do you know about Anna?"
Gegu was puzzled: "The proprietress is also a big sword, and the painter named Ophelia last time was the one who took her sword." ”
"No," Annabelle smiled lightly and sighed slightly, "Actually, like them, I am also an Awakened One. ”
"Huh?!" Gegu was stunned.
"But because I have Li Fang's help, I don't need to eat human internal organs, and my consciousness is also on the human side, Li Fang is worried that you won't be able to accept it, so he hasn't talked to you about it all this time."
Gegu opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and Li Fang immediately said: "Don't worry, Anna is very strong, and she will be safe here." ”
“…… If you had said it earlier, I would have believed it," Gegu raised his glass and turned to Li Fang, "You shouldn't have been hiding it from us for so long. ”
"I was too careful, sorry."
"Apologize for what, have another drink."
“……”
The wine glasses collided, and with a crisp sound, Li Fang also drank the wine glass in his hand.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and a gentle female voice walked in with a slight hurry as the door was pushed open.
"Honey, does your friend know anything about Miss Yuma?"
The person who came in was a beautiful woman with long blond hair, a plump and normal body compared to the big swordsmen, and her eyes were normal brownish-black.
"Minian, why are you here?" Gegu hurriedly put down the wine glass, got up and took his wife's hand and asked.
"I heard Sim say your friend is back." She gasped a little and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"Hey, don't worry, Miss Yuma, she's fine."
After a brief explanation, Gegu asked Minian to sit down as well.
Li Fang saw that the timing was just right, so he spoke: "Actually, I came to visit today to ask about something, I don't know if the Cyril family is interested." ”
"Oh, is it a business thing?" Minian's eyes lit up.
Li Fang nodded.
"I may not be able to say anything about this." Gegu laughed at herself, "Minian can call the shots, you can talk to her." ”
"You also have to learn more, and the family's business can't still rely on me in the future." Minian Bo said angrily.
"I think that's okay, I really don't know anything about business, if I have the task of escorting goods, I can do it." Gegu sighed helplessly, "Father thinks the same way, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to our marriage so simply." ”
Li Fang looked at it, the Cyril family only had one only daughter, Minian, and she was better at taking care of the family property than Cyril, so it was naturally impossible for her to marry her......
"But it's too dangerous outside, you've met bandits who block the road, and you're going to be out there all year round?" As she spoke, tears welled up in Minian's eyes.
"I ......" Gegu was speechless for a moment.
Li Fang saw that there was a contradiction between the two, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt, "The Cyril family's trading business is the biggest one that Rapoll has done, will there be any trouble with escorts?" ”
"Of course, there are great difficulties," Minian realized that she was in a state of gaffe, and hurriedly sat upright, explaining, "The ancestors of the family have always believed that trade is to let goods go where they should go at the right time, and most people in the world who are merchants cannot escape this truth. The journey of three or two foot merchant teams is arduous and the accumulation of profits is also very slow, but it is correspondingly safe and flexible, and once the scale is large, although it makes a lot of money, it is easy to be targeted by bandits, the world is so chaotic, and the business road is surrounded by bandits with green eyes, and the remote business is really becoming more and more dangerous. ”
Minian couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes, "But the farther away, the greater the profit, the Cyril family has to support so many people and support the family's reputation, and they have to risk it several times a year......"
"I still have some connections in the army, and retired or disabled soldiers can be introduced to my family, but it's still difficult." Ge Gu suddenly remembered something as he spoke, leaned forward and asked Li Fang, "Is this what you want to talk about?" ”
"That's right," Li Fang nodded with a smile, looked at Gegu and Minian, who both understood, and said, "I wonder if the Cyril family is interested in hiring a big sword to help you escort the goods?" ”
