Chapter 18 Dismounted
"Look at what we look like now...... Hypertherm and I can only do trivial things in the gang, and we don't even have the ability to kill...... As for Adam, he was lucky to have the identity of a noble young master, but he couldn't even protect his relatives...... What else do you say about great adventurers...... Not to mention going to the imperial capital......"
Jin muttered with a self-deprecating face, Wu Ming knew that he was venting the emotions in his heart, so he didn't interject, just listened to this friend's heart with a serious face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Haibao touched his head a little embarrassed, he was the worst of the three, Adam had a noble title, Jin was also a strong-willed character, and the remaining one was the most stubborn, Jin's so-called trivial matters of stealing chickens and dogs, eight out of ten things were done by him.
Venting his inner emotions, Jin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, Wu Ming handed over a cup of warm tea, he drank it all, and the resentment in his heart was finally relieved.
"What am I doing? What's the point of saying that now? ”
Jin smiled bitterly in his heart after calming down, in fact, he didn't know where the anger in his heart came from, the so-called childhood vow, maybe even he didn't believe it. How can being a great adventurer be so easy? If you want to pass the adventurer assessment, talent, sweat, resources, and opportunities are indispensable, throughout the ages, there are only a handful of adventurers with more than three stars, not to mention the holy domain powerhouses above six stars, such talents are monsters that come out once in a hundred years.
Jin didn't really expect the three of them to become big adventurers with more than three stars, but watching Adam and Wang Haibao spend their days in a drowsy state, Lisa's death didn't stimulate the two of them much, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. Especially Adam, as far as Kim knows, Adam actually has a talent for becoming an adventurer, and it is because of this that Gilbert Sr. adopted Adam and cared for him a lot. It's just that the original Adam couldn't endure the hardships of training, and his own ambition was gradually exhausted by the extravagant aristocratic life, so he failed to pass the adventurer assessment for a long time.
Lisa also advised Adam because of this matter, but Adam's dissatisfaction was aroused by many advices, and in the end, even the relationship between sister and brother dropped to zero, and Adam still did not change at all.
Hopefully, after this disappearance, he will change something.
Jin sighed for the last time in his heart, he looked at Wu Ming and said seriously, "I have decided to join the neighboring mercenary group." ”
Wu Ming nodded, he didn't know what the significance of the mercenary group was in this world, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to speak. When Wang Haibao heard this, he was immediately shocked, grabbed Jin's arm and persuaded: "Dude, don't be impulsive, you are an ordinary person who didn't even pass the adventurer assessment, aren't you looking for death when you enter the mercenary group?" For such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with your buddies? ”
"I've already decided on this." Jin shook his head resolutely.
"Then go ahead." Wu Ming made a voice of encouragement, and he asked, "When will you leave?" ”
"Three days later."
"Okay, let me know before you go, and Haibao and I will send you off."
After saying this, the three of them were so rare that they all fell silent, and no one spoke out for a long time.
Jin and Haibao didn't speak because they fell into the sad atmosphere before parting, while Wu Ming didn't speak because he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Fortunately, Jin and Haibao didn't mean to stay long, they probably thought that Wu Ming had just come back and needed time to rest, so they didn't bother him too much.
The three of them chatted a little more lightly, and Kim and Hypertherm then took their leave.
After the two left, an old man with half white hair but full of energy stepped into the door of his new home.
The old man looked in his early sixties, lean, with prominent cheekbones, he was well maintained, there were not many wrinkles on his face, he wore a neat tuxedo, his face was very clean, and his hair and beard were carefully repaired, giving people a very restrained feeling.
"Steward Joe." Several of the visitors who had not yet left knew the old man and bowed to him in awe.
Wu Ming didn't know the old man, but seeing that people respected him very much, and knew that this was not a simple character, he hurriedly weaved words in his heart, thinking about how to talk to the old man so that he would not be seen through his identity. Unexpectedly, the old man walked in front of Wu Ming, directly put one hand to his chest and the other on his waist, performed a standard aristocratic etiquette, and took the initiative to speak: "Qiao Er, the old butler of the Rotten Barton Mansion, has seen Young Master Adam. ”
Wu Ming was stunned when he heard this......
No wonder people are respectful to the old man, this is actually the butler of the Barton family! The Patton family is the local emperor of the soil, and this housekeeper Qiao Er is equivalent to the emperor's chief of internal affairs, and he is also a person who stomps his feet and trembles in the entire dark cloud collar. It's just that Adam's identity alone is not enough for a person at this level to visit in person, not to mention that Adam's sister's death has a certain involvement with Young Master Barton, and the hatred between the two sides has not yet subsided, and the housekeeper of Barton Mansion came to the door in person, which has a strange smell no matter how you think about it.
"Old Qiao is here, what is the so-called thing?"
Facing the butler of the Barton Mansion, Wu Ming naturally couldn't be too enthusiastic, in fact, he was already very polite, if it was really Adam sitting here, he would have to point at Qiao Er's nose and scold.
After the old man finished saluting, he stood up straight, but did not answer Wu Ming's question for the first time, but narrowed a pair of cloudy old eyes, and looked Wu Ming up and down, and the lofty gaze made Wu Ming uncomfortable for a while.
After a long time, he took out something from his arms and stretched out his hand to hand it to Wu Ming.
It was a palm-sized golden leaf.
"This is sent by the eldest young master on behalf of the old man, the eldest young master said that he is partly responsible for Miss Sally's death, and this gold leaf should be regarded as a gift of reparation for Young Master Adam, and I hope that Young Master Adam can accept a piece of the young master's heart."
Qiao Er's words and actions were still so polite, but his act of giving gold leaves made a chill rise in the hearts of the other guests.
But anyone who has some sources knows that Adam's sister died in Barton's house, and regardless of anything else, the Barton family sent someone to send a gold leaf at this time, which is called "the gift of atonement", what does this mean?
Tell you, your sister's life is only worth this golden leaf?
It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Ming faced this gold leaf, and it was not that he did not accept it: he accepted it, and from now on Wu Ming did not want to raise his head in front of the Patton family; If you don't accept it, the consequences will be even more serious, the Barton family is the first family in You Whale Town, and they dare to refrain from the gifts they give, are you tired of it?
When people think of this, they know in their hearts that this is the Barton family wants to give the returning Young Master Adam a dismount!
