Chapter 1546: Summoning Germanda
Tina and the others took a carriage to Miss Perrighi's mansion for dinner, and Apar and Olivia were also sent by Jia Zhengjin on the way.
Anyway, the other party didn't stipulate that there were a few people who ate with Miss Perrighi, and it was definitely a loss if they spent 4,500 gold coins, at least let them eat a little more, and they could lose less.
Only Jia Zhengjin himself was left at home, and he had to deal with the follow-up troubles.
The female knight Lydia followed Jia Zhengjin's orders and quickly brought the Germanda family to this temporary residence.
Before arriving, he solemnly admonished, and the next thing to see was the Duke who had just been personally appointed by the king of the country of Torlumbu, and his status was very high. And he is also a reclusive powerhouse, who has just solved the problem of the Titan Labyrinth. Therefore, when meeting, there should never be any transgression or rudeness.
Ge Manda was very nervous, after all, the duke was the existence of a country second only to the royal family, and his power was also very great.
The newly appointed duke, I don't know why he summoned his family? Could it be that the previous political enemies in the country have not given up and are also colluding with the nobles of the Duolun Country? Or is it that the previous nobleman actually had something to do with the duke, so he invited the duke to come forward and insisted on snatching his daughter?
What if that's the case? Now my family doesn't have any ability to protect themselves......
With a nervous mood, looking at the family members around her worriedly all the way, Ge Manda panicked, and kept thinking about how to protect herself and her family if she really encountered the two possibilities she imagined.
When the female knight Ladia urged her to get out of the car, Germanda resisted from the bottom of her heart, hoping to return the way she came and leave the country immediately.
But it's just a matter of thinking about it, if you really want to escape, you probably won't even be able to get out of the city gate.
I had no choice but to take my family to get out of the carriage carefully, and support each other step by step behind Ladia.
"Lord Duke, the people have been brought!" Lydia asked his family to wait outside the door, watched by the soldiers guarding the door, and he entered the hall to report to "Duke Martin".
"Thank you for your hard work," Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Bring everyone in!"
"Yes!" Lydia bowed her head respectfully, and quickly went outside to invite the Germanda family.
Stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife. Gormanda had no choice but to nervously follow Ladia into the hall with her family.
As soon as he saw the "Duke of Martin" sitting in the middle of the hall, before he could see his appearance clearly, Germanda bent down in a panic and saluted: "See Lord Duke!"
"See Lord Duke!!" Germanda's family members also bowed their heads, not daring to look at the big man opposite.
Jia Zhengjin glanced at it and found that there were a total of ten people who followed Laidia in, including men and women, old and young.
Next to Gemanda, the two beauties, one big and one small, who are very nervous, should be his wife and daughter. As for the others, I don't see what the relationship is.
"You're Gemanda," Jia Zhengjin looked at the middle-aged man in the lead, "Minister of Economy of the Kingdom of Muritius?"
"It's the former Minister of Economy, the honorable Duke!" replied nervously, not daring to look up casually, "Because I was framed, I lost my official position, and I had to flee abroad in the hope of finding a place to live in seclusion!"
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly, "Then did you have a conflict with a local nobleman before?" ”
Ge Manda's heart suddenly tightened, and he replied in a bit of a panic: "Report to the Duke, we didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone when we first arrived, let alone dare to go against the noble lord of your country. It's just that the aristocratic lord wanted to snatch my daughter, and later a few kind mercenary friends helped to survive. I hope the Duke will see it!"
"Lord Duke, please!!" said Germanda's family members in unison, bowing their heads in fear.
It's pretty much the same as Tina said.
Originally, Jia Zhengjin didn't think that Tina would lie, but now he is more relieved after he is sure: "Ge Manda, raise your head!"
"Yes!" With the Duke's permission, Germanda dared to look up slowly.
As for his family, they still kept their heads down, after all, the duke only asked Germanda to raise his head, and if they raised their heads to make the duke unhappy, the whole family might suffer. After all, no one knows what kind of temper this Duke has.
Ge Manda raised his head cautiously, and when he saw that the Duke in front of him was shrouded in a cloak, and he couldn't see his face at all, he was stunned at first, and then immediately asked respectfully: "Dare to ask, what is the order of the Duke to summon our family?"
"Don't be nervous!" Jia Zhengjin saw that their whole family was scared, and immediately said, "I am a mercenary, and I was awarded the title of duke by the king because I completed the Titan Labyrinth mission. The mercenaries who saved you before happened to be my companions who stayed in the city. ”
Hearing this, the look of fear on Germanda's face finally subsided a little. If it was the companions of those mercenary friends, it must not be a curly-haired nobleman or a high-ranking person known by political enemies, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that you are the partner of those mercenary friends, presumably they are all your subordinates." Such righteous subordinates should be the credit of the duke's daily teaching. ”
"Are you quite good at sycophancy?" Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "But I don't need your sycophancy, I just want to know if you are really capable!"
"Could it be that Lord Duke wants to recruit me?" Gomanda said with a happy face, "Although my ability is limited, I have been the Minister of Economy for at least many years in Muritius, as long as it is related to the country's economy, although I dare not say that I am very good, but I am absolutely decent and will not make mistakes easily! Lord Duke can casually find someone to test my ability." It's just that...... The noble lord didn't seem to be easy to mess with, and I was willing to serve the Duke and become a member of the kingdom of Dolumbus, but ......"
"Who said I was recruiting you for the country of Duolunbu?" Jia Zhengjin said indifferently.
"Then what do you mean......" Germanda was a little stunned, and said in her heart, since the Duke of the Kingdom of Dolumbus in front of him, wouldn't recruiting me to serve the Kingdom of Dolumbus?
But in front of the duke, if you dare to refuse, will it be more troublesome?
Just as he was thinking wildly, the "Duke Martin" in front of him spoke again: "I have some connections with the Holy Dragon City. You know the Holy Dragon City, right?"
"Holy Dragon City?" Germanda nodded dumbly, "Of course I know, who hasn't heard of Holy Dragon City now?"
"Now that I know it, I'd like to recommend you to go over there and serve as the Minister of Economy of Holy Dragon City. Of course, you must confirm your abilities before doing so. Jia Zhengjin said, "Since you think you are very capable in the economic aspect, tell me more about it now." If that's right, you'll take my letter of recommendation. If you let me down, I won't do anything to you, where you go back and forth. ”
