Chapter 21: The Talent of Hammondal

When Jian Chen reappeared in front of everyone, the scene inevitably erupted in warm cheers again.

That alone surprised Felix.

He had seen such a scene before, but it was when Queen Catherine returned to Standwick after her victory.

How similar were the fanatical expressions, the vigorously waving arms, and the hoarse cheers of the people at this time to the situation at that time?

A little lord in a remote area, how could he make the lords cheer so much?

Felix couldn't help but look at Jian Chen again.

"My lord, can you start?" The old housekeeper whispered to Jian Chen for instructions.

Jian Chen nodded, and the interview began again.

The first person to come forward this time was a fat man.

This fat man is a businessman, good at bargaining, can accurately estimate the price of goods, and has a good way of managing money.

Funnily enough, this businessman, who used to be very rich in Hammondale, was cheated out of all his money by Robert's big crook, so that he is now very down, and is currently helping another businessman as a partner.

He was the one who shouted at Robert in the crowd before.

After thinking about it, Jian Chen waved his hand and accepted this person.

Didn't the old housekeeper keep talking about not being good at financial management and hiring a financial officer as soon as possible?

Although he didn't know the details, Jian Chen believed that there was an old housekeeper who was loyal to him, and there was no big problem.

The fat businessman won the bid in one fell swoop and was overjoyed.

A third man came up, and the people were booed again.

This is a little man with an obscene appearance, coupled with a pair of small eyes that are constantly turning, which makes people feel disgusted when they look at it.

Chen Jian had experience this time, and after hearing the boos, he immediately turned around and asked the old housekeeper, "This person is a liar again?" ”

The old butler replied with a bitter face: "Master, his name is Polly, he is not a liar, but he is a thief!" ”

Chen Jian couldn't help laughing: "Thief? ”

"Yes, sir!" The old butler was helpless in his heart, and thought that he had accepted a liar, and this was another thief, in case the lord also took him on a whim, even if he added two more locks to the castle vault that he was responsible for, he didn't know if he could prevent these guys from stealing chickens and dogs.

"My lord, I'm Polly, and I'm willing to do my best to serve you!" Harry, the thief, came up to Jian Chen and nodded at the lord.

"I heard you're a thief?" Jian Chen asked with a smile.

Chen Jian can't do things to judge people by their appearance, in his world, many well-known stars are not very good-looking, such as Uncle Zhao, such as Sister Han.

In the face of the lord's questioning, Polly's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "My lord, that's their misunderstanding of me, I'm actually an explorer, but the place I'm exploring is a little different, and people in the world can't understand it, so they think I'm a thief!" ”

"Explorer?" Jian Chen was a little surprised, this statement was quite fresh, "Then where do you usually explore?" Can it be misunderstood? ”

"Generally speaking, the place where I explore is the place where other people keep gold coins or treasures, you don't know, my curiosity is very strong, and I always can't help but want to find out how many gold coins others have, or what treasures others are hiding. But some people had so many coins that I had to take them home and count them. Sometimes I don't recognize what the treasures are, so I have to take them home and have them examined, and that's the way it is, and I can't help it if they have to call it theft. ”

What Polly said was reasonable, but he also felt a little helpless, as if he had been greatly wronged.

The lord laughed again and said, "Actually, you can't blame others for misunderstanding you, who made you have a bad memory, always forgetting to greet the master before the expedition, and forgetting to return the things after the expedition." ”

Polly's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was overjoyed: "Yes, that's it, in fact, I have also thought about this problem, but I have a bad memory, I am too excited to say hello to others every time I go on an expedition, and I can't remember who to return it to when I want to return it later." ”

At the end of the day, Polly said excitedly: "Lord Lord, you are really my bosom friend, you are the only one in all Hammondale who says this, and you are the only one in all Hammondale who thinks that I am not a thief but an explorer!" No wonder everyone says you're a good person! ”

Chen Jian said: "I don't dare to be a bosom friend, but I'm very strange, why do people with bad memories like you come to me for an interview?" How would an explorer like you help me or Hammondal? ”

Polly was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said a little sneering and a little gloomy: "Lord Lord, I don't know what I can do, but Ellie said that if I want her to marry me, I can't be a thief anymore, but if I don't be a thief, what can I do?" For so many years, I couldn't do anything but steal. I happened to see your recruitment order a few days ago, so I wanted to try my luck, and I said that the lord is a smart person, and I think you may know what I can do. ”

Chen Jian was stunned at first when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that you also know that no matter how beautiful you say, you can't change the fact that you are a thief?" I thought you really had that thick skin? ”

Hearing the lord's words, Harry's face couldn't help but heat up a little, he didn't expect that he had been quibbling for so long, and at the last moment, he was careless, and he still leaked his mouth when he felt something.

"What kind of person is Ellie, who would make you give up being a thief for her sake?" Jian Chen's gossip soul suddenly woke up.

The old butler, Felix and the others shook their heads again and again as they listened behind the lord, what kind of interview is this, and the off-topic is too far, and the lord's leaping thinking makes everyone feel a little unable to keep up.

Ellie...... Ellie was my neighbor when I was a kid and we were ...... all the time It's always been good, but ......" When it comes to the woman he likes, Polly suddenly stutters a little.

"But what?" The lord continued to gossip.

After hesitating for a while, Polly suddenly knelt at the feet of the lord, and cried: "Lord, take me!" I really had no choice, Ellie's father wanted to marry her to a rich old man who was much older than her, she didn't want to, I wanted her to go with me, but she said she didn't want to be a thief's wife; I really can't help it, she's going to get married in three days, what can I do in three days to wash away the stigma of my past? It's just too late! I think about it, only you can help me, Lord Lord, with your reputation in Hammondale, you said that Polly will change his ways, no longer a thief, I think everyone will believe it, so I have the courage to come here, please accept me, Lord Lord, as long as you accept me, everyone will no longer see me as a thief, and Ellie will not dislike me! You can do whatever you want me to do, just accept me, accept me! ”

Polly's sudden turn and everything he said stunned everyone, and the story was a little too bizarre.

There was silence, save for Polly's low sobs.

Chen Jian shouted in his heart that dog blood, dog blood, how could such a bloody thing happen to me.

In the end, Chen Jian still accepted this little man who was crying in public, why did he accept him, Chen Jian himself didn't understand, maybe he was moved by him, maybe he was pitiful and sympathetic to him when he cried, maybe he felt that this person was a little useful, or maybe it was a combination of the three.

However, the matter finally came to an end, and the interview, which had been stopped due to the sudden outbreak of the lord's gossip spirit, was able to continue.

The next interview disappointed Jian Chen, thinking that he could really attract a few useful characters to him, or someone would put forward any good suggestions, but Hammondale must be a remote place, with a small population, and it is not as hidden as the lord imagined.

A large number of cats and dogs with a sense of luck took turns to fight, making the lord bored and drowsy, and at the same time a little angry.

His character is really not ordinarily bad, recruiting a scammer who wants to engage in speculation, an infatuated thief, and a fool who was cheated out of his property by a scammer.

As for the martial arts masters, military talents, and magicians he expected, none of them appeared.

This made the lord secretly wonder if he wanted to take the time to visit that powerful beauty genius magician.

The lord has already decided, even if he is now a lord who has to do it, and if he doesn't do it, he has to do it, so it is only right that he still finds a way to become stronger as soon as possible.

Although he had the support of the Erathia Empire behind him, Jian Chen didn't want to completely hand over his life to others.

Make yourself stronger, and don't be in a hurry if something happens.

Didn't a great man say that power comes out of the barrel of a gun? As long as your strength is strong enough, others who want to bully you should also think about it.

At present, the most urgent thing for him is to improve the military strength of the territory as soon as possible, in this turbulent and war-prone continent, a strong army is the guarantee of everything.

That's why Jian Chen hurriedly restarted the interview, he was afraid that people with skills would have a big temper and couldn't wait for him.

The powerful lord of the magician has witnessed it with his own eyes, and that night on the street of blood, the female magician alone killed hundreds of big-eared monsters, so strong that she was speechless.

If there is such a magician to help him, the benefits are self-evident.

But thinking about the coldness of this magician that night, Jian Chen was speechless for a while, a woman with such a bad personality, even if she didn't care about the affairs of that night, Corporal Lixian, I was afraid that she would use a hot face to stick to someone else's cold ass.

Jian Chen really didn't want to ask for someone in a low voice, he was afraid that if others didn't agree, where would he put his face?

He felt that he was also a proud person in his bones.

However, the lord's pride quickly disappeared after a few minutes, as if it had never appeared.

"I'm Ash Temple, a master magician of the fire type!" Legend has it that the native-born Hammondal, a beautiful and genius female magician with an extremely strange personality, dressed in a tight-fitting black magician robe that was extremely simple, stood quietly in front of the Great Lord Chen Jian.

The lord was still wandering in the world at this time, and when he heard the voice, he looked up and unexpectedly found a woman who resembled Kate Beckinsale, the heroine of the movie "Tales of the Night", staring at him coldly.

Before he crossed over, Chen Jian always felt that the woman's appearance in "Legend of the Night" was very cool, so the image was quite profound, and at this time, he suddenly found that there was a woman in this world who looked so similar to her, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Before the lord could recover from his astonishment, the sorceress spoke coldly again, "If you can agree to one of my conditions, I think I can be your personal magic advisor. ”

The sudden fall of this big pie from the sky smashed the lord into a daze, and he replied almost without thinking: "There is no problem at all, I agree to all your conditions." ”

As soon as I wanted to doze off, someone sent a pillow, and it would be stupid not to agree to such a good thing!

The female magician did not accept Jian Chen's affection, but instead said something that made Jian Chen feel quite hurtful to his self-esteem: "Lord Lord, I think you'd better listen to my conditions before answering, to be honest, I doubt that you have the ability to achieve this condition!" ”
