"It's finally gone. Kayilu crossed her hands on her hips and watched Qiu Feng leave, as if she was sighing, and said, "It's really unlucky." ”

"How much do you hate her...... Xia Di asked in surprise.

"It's not just hate, it's contempt." Kayiru shrugged, "Speaking of which, how did you get involved with her?" ”

the hell.

It's not that you've done something unseemly, what is it called.

Xia Di complained in his heart.

Then Xia Di briefly told Kayilu about his encounter with Qiu Feng, which was no secret anyway.

After hearing this, Kayilu said with a straight face: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you can find a well and throw her down, so that you will not suffer." ”

“…… Wouldn't that be a real murderer! Xia Di finally couldn't help it, "Anyway, I think she's very good, what happened between you?" Did she kill your father and take your wife? It's ...... so hateful."

“……”

Kayilu suddenly fell silent, revealing a somewhat subtle expression, she hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "Compared to such trivial things, I advise you to secretly throw away the book she gave you, or press under the luggage, don't look at it, this is the advice of a person who has come over." ”

Yes?

"It's almost lunchtime. Hurry up and head to the Lord's Palace. ”

Kayilu didn't wait for Xia Di to answer, and left directly.

Although Xia Di wanted to complain that the other party was too blunt to change the topic, Kayilu said the truth.

It was almost noon now, and it would be rude to visit each other to have a meal, so he put the book in his package and followed.

……

The Hampshire Lord's House was built in the middle of Winchester, similar to the royal palace in the royal capital, tall and conspicuous, and imposing.

Xia Di and Kayilu found the castle without even asking passers-by. Because no matter where you are in the city, you can see it as long as you look at it, and you won't get lost.

When he was about to arrive at the mansion, Xia Di thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, didn't you receive a task in the Adventurer's Guild?" Don't you go to the task first to make money? How about buying a greeting gift......"

"A greeting gift? I don't need this kind of thing, and the other party is not a stingy aristocrat, so he won't care. Kayilu waved his hand.

That's different from what you said at the beginning......

Xia Di looked at this fickle woman speechlessly.

"However, the task has been received." Kayilu smiled and said mysteriously, "And I got good news and bad news." Would you like to hear it? ”

"Let's talk about the mission first."

"The mission is to be a personal guard. The object of protection is the daughter of the Tous family. ”

"What?" Xia Di was taken aback, "The lord you're looking for is recruiting guards?" ”

"That's right." Kayiru nodded.

Xia Di suddenly didn't understand.

Logically speaking, a lord is a symbol of local power, the supreme ruler who enjoys all the power in his territory. Of course, this also includes military power, and no matter what kind of lord he is, he has an army of at least 100 people.

Such a lord actually needs to recruit guards?

Could it be that there has been a recent war in the territory and there are not enough soldiers? But why not recruit soldiers, but in the form of a contract entrusted to the adventurer?

Xia Di thought in confusion.

"In short, I can get two messages from this incident."

"First of all, bad information...... That is, the other party is now short of troops for unknown reasons, and I will go to him now to borrow a knight, presumably he is unlikely to agree. Kayilu analyzed.

"That's true." Xia Di nodded, "After all, what you want is the top combat power among them, and in this case, it is impossible to agree to lend it to you." And what about the good news? Could it be that you have found some trick on the other side? ”

"Nope." Kairu shook her head, "However, I can sell favors to the other party. ”

"Favors?"

"You see that the strength of the two of us is good, compared to most adventurers, it can even be said that the strength is superior, if we go to guard them specifically, wouldn't it be a great kindness? In this case, maybe the other party will agree to lend me the knight. ”

“……”

This...... Is it that simple?

Xia Di rolled his eyes and thought.

"And there is another advantage to receiving this task, that is, even the meeting gift can be saved, not long ago I looked at it carefully, they wrote on the task commission column, including food and lodging, that is, even if he rejected our request, as long as we accepted the task, we have a reason to die in the mansion, dragging with them, or investigate the reason for their refusal, and then make follow-up countermeasures."

Kayilu puffed out her chest triumphantly.

“…… Oh. ”

Couldn't this woman have forgotten that she only had a month?

Xia Di didn't bother to remind Kayilu, wanting to wait and see what happened.

……

Lord's Palace.

Etiel. Tous's room.

The butler Sinad, with a wooden bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, scooped up the medicinal soup and fed it to the blonde girl one bite at a time.

The young maid supported the unconscious maiden by the side, her arms resting on the back of her head, making it easy for Sinard to feed.

"Ahem." The girl's face fluctuated, and after a few sips of medicinal soup, she coughed lightly, as if she felt difficult to breathe.

The maid on the side hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of the girl's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Sinad sighed, put the spoon back into the bowl, and said: "It seems that the effect of this medicine is not very good, forget it, let's do this today, you serve the eldest lady well, I will go to see if the master has returned." ”

"Understood."

The maid nodded.

Sinad walked out of the room with the potion and was about to go to the kitchen when an old maid approached.

She was the oldest maid in the mansion, Susan.

Although Susan's status was low, because she had been a servant of the Tous family for two generations, she was influenced by Al. Tous is so important that even Sinard has to pay some respect to her.

"Good afternoon, Lord Sinard, how is the eldest lady?" Susan saluted and asked.

"Good afternoon, Susan, the situation of the eldest lady is as always." Sinad shrugged, "Compared to this, is the master back?" ”

"No, it's just ...... A couple of men and women came to the door just now, saying that they wanted to see the master. ”

"Men and women?" Sinad frowned, he had no plans to meet such a guest in the itinerary he had made for his master.

"Did they identify themselves?"

"Yes, I think it's from the Ector family, and you know, I don't know much about these things......" Susan said apologetically.

"Ector?"

Sinard had some impressions of the surname Ector.

He remembered the letter from the royal capital a few days ago, and suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see, I'll go see them in my place." Sinard said.

The owner of the mansion, Altous, was currently training soldiers in the barracks, so the provisional head of the mansion became Sinad, who naturally had to greet guests on his behalf.

"Oh, go ahead, by the way, I'll pour it for you, right?" Susan gestured to the bowl in Sinad's hand.

"Oh, I don't have to bother you. You'd better go and rest. When I go out, it's good to fall down by the way. ”

With that, Sinad walked to the kitchen, and a moment later, came to the gate of the castle. (To be continued......)
