The number of strong people among the natives is indeed huge, but they will not be in charge of escorting the caravan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The first thing the elites who came with the team in the event of a surprise attack was to stabilize their position and control the team that was somewhat in chaos. So much so that the first to launch a counterattack against the attackers were the players of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower'.

Of course, without the help of the players this time, the Boreham convoy would have been able to deal with the attackers - but the damage would have been much greater. So this time it was a pretty good performance, and it brought them relatively good returns.

In the next few missions, although the players did not perform so eye-catching, they were still decent. During Barrett's absence, they also gained a lot of experience and wealth. But the two financiers, Clematis and Claudia, were not satisfied at all - in their opinion, such a life lacked sub-excitement. And Noodles and Anvil naturally heard the complaints of these two eldest ladies more than once.

So during the time of purchasing supplies, Clematis and Claudia have tried their best to control their emotions. But the joy of the performance, which was much more lively than before, still made the companions feel the change in their mood - the two had already begun to look forward to new adventures.

Although the total amount of materials purchased this time is not very large, the types are quite complex. So players spend a lot of time in the streets of Poitou. If you buy through Boreham's channel, you really don't need to be so troublesome. But for several women, shopping is a pleasure in itself. They don't want to give it to others!

But while the girls were running down the alleyways with laughter, the Earl of Boreham's message had already been delivered to the player's hotel. Barrett, the leader of the team, had to quickly take care of his personal hygiene before setting out on the road to City Hall.

"Lord Earl, Barrett has come to meet you." No matter how easy-going the Earl of Boreham is, Barrett always sticks to his duties like an aboriginal - although he knows that the other party is just a pile of projected data, this does not prevent Barrett from interpreting his second life.

"Come in! I've heard you don't seem to be in any energy these days. The voice from behind the door seemed to have a different kind of teasing.

Barrett, who pushed the door in, immediately saw the Earl's smiling expression, and he scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "The ladies' shopping interest is indeed not so easy to stop. I really want to thank you today, Lord Earl, for saving me from the sea of misery. ”

"That's because you're not with your beloved girl, otherwise mental satisfaction will effectively dilute the physical exhaustion." After the Earl of Boreham put down the teacup in his hand, the expression still made Barrett feel uncomfortable how to look at it.

Barrett, who was attacked by the second round, tilted his head: "The spiritual comfort will not last, and when the initial enthusiasm subsides, it will only feel more and more empty and tired." ”

"You kid, don't talk like an old man." The Earl of Boreham said, and tapped his finger on the table.

"I'm tired!" Barrett smiled, "Your Excellency Earl didn't call me here today for this kind of gossip, did you?" ”

"Little guy with no sense of humor, no wonder he's still single." The Earl of Boreham glared at him angrily, "From what I've heard, your kid is actually less energetic these days than when he first came back. It still doesn't seem to be suitable for that leisurely life. So I'm going to give you a little work. ”

Barrett's expression also returned to seriousness: "This is the best news I've ever heard." Do you have any commands, Lord Earl? ”

"There will always be people who want to work, and there are many people who are suitable for you. But you really don't plan to take a few days off. The Earl of Boreham said as he pulled out a booklet from his left-hand side.

The Boreham family is strong, and what they are responsible for is also directly proportional to the strength they show. It's like a giant machine, constantly devouring resources and then creating benefits that meet the expectations of managers.

In order to keep this huge machine running, the Boreham family needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, those family tasks are only worried that no one will take over, and there will never be a situation where family members cannot find tasks. Of course, for the sake of efficiency and safety, Boreham's assignments to members are generally not very high, and they often leave enough time to recuperate.

"No! I feel like I'm in good shape, really good. Barrett said and moved his arm, "So if the family needs anything, please do not hesitate to give orders!" ”

"There are a lot of enemies in the family that need manpower, and there are many tasks you can choose from." Immediately after saying this, the Earl of Boreham threw the booklet in his hand towards Barrett.

Looking at the book that was growing bigger in his sight, Barrett turned sideways to avoid his head, and grabbed it in his hand with his right hand. As soon as he turned the page, Barrett's gaze swept over it. Then he frowned: "Why is it all my task alone?" ”

"Didn't you kid find yourself a little bit different from the guys on your team? It's okay to venture out there, but doing this kind of mission would either be a waste of your strength or expose them to unnecessary risks. "The Earl of Boreham clearly has an Aboriginal view in this regard.

In the eyes of the Earl of Boreham, Barrett's team is no longer a problem of someone temporarily unable to keep up with him. From the early Aboriginal point of view, several of these players have lost the possibility of breaking through the Black Lead Rank. The rest of those who want to break through are also not small. For Barrett, who has broken through the black lead rank, there are already two classes of people between the two sides. When you mix it up, it's a little awkward.

Barrett, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then understood Earl Boreham's intentions. However, it was inconvenient for him to be strong in this kind of thing, so after closing the book, he pondered: "There are many tasks that require more than just a strong fighter!" For group missions like that that require a mix of high and low, can't we join the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group? ”

"Alright! I knew you kid would make such a choice. "The Earl of Boreham pretended to have a headache and said, "After a while you will understand that only being with someone of equal strength can give you the most room for improvement." ”

"I'm confident that my companions will eventually be able to catch up with me." Barrett was confident on the surface, but in reality he was not sure at all. Levels 10 to 11 are completely qualitative leaps in the background of the game, and can even be said to be the sublimation of life, the style line between the exemplary and the mundane.

Based on the urine nature of the early system and the government's need for longer playtime, the difficulty of that promotion mission is by no means comparable to the previous 5 to 6 levels. What's more, Barrett deduced from Georgie's revelations that such a task would most likely not be able to rely on accumulation or ask for help.

So Barrett relied on Georgie's 'cheating' ability to easily cross the moat after getting it. As soon as the Earl of Borem reminded him, he immediately became worried about his companion again. Of course, he could have asked Georgie to solve the same problem halfway, but it was one thing for Georgie not to agree, and even if he did, how to explain it to his companion was another problem.

In fact, the reason why Georgie will open the back door for Barrett is also because he doesn't need this kind of test to prove himself for a long time. Don't look at the 'marshmallow' that always looks like it does what you want, but the imprint of order is not so easy to eliminate. At some point, his stubbornness to principles is no different from systematic procedures.

So behind the scenes, Barrett also doesn't have too much hope for his companions to complete that task - anyway, in the game, level 10 or so is considered a small local master, and if nothing else, he can get a taste.

Earl Boreham waved his hand: "Since Barrett is so stubborn, I can't say anything." ”

After saying this, the Earl of Boreham pulled out another booklet from the pile of papers: "Find it from here!" But this kind of task will not bring you much benefit. ”

After opening the volume, Barrett quickly understood the meaning of the Earl's words. The missions recorded in this book are all escort or garrison missions. Compared to previous operations behind enemy lines or stealth operations, the difficulty is greatly reduced. However, the remuneration and the exercise of people have also decreased.

"When it comes to escort missions, we used to do it a lot. But when it comes to garrison missions, I really haven't been involved much. Especially the kind of ...... that we are the main one" looked at Barrett and instantly became interested.

Although previously in the Underground Frontline Fortress, the player participated in a defensive battle. But at that time they were completely broken up and added to the original system. It's quite different from the current player-focused garrison mission.

The Earl of Boreham, who has great perceptiveness, naturally could not miss Barrett's muttering. He touched his chin, and then nodded, "If you want to participate in the garrison, it's not impossible." ”

"So, Lord Earl, you agree." Barrett left and turned his attention back to the Earl of Boreham.

The latter nodded: "As a member of the family, you who are already in the black lead rank should now participate in the management of the family." Now that you've chosen to garrison your team, go get an errand as a manor steward! In terms of contributions, you should be enough. ”

"The steward of the manor? But what should I do if I want to go out? The family won't waste such a combat power in vain, right? Barrett suddenly felt that the Earl of Boreham was expressing his displeasure.

Hearing this, Earl Boreham glanced at Barrett with a smile: "Your branch is really too far away from the family center. Have you ever heard of a knight delaying his expedition because of the affairs of his estate? If you really want to fight, someone will naturally take care of it......"

Hearing this, Barrett immediately recalled some things that he had overlooked. Among the aborigines, once a professional person has stepped into the black lead rank, he has already stepped into the door of the aristocracy. As long as they join their respective regimes, they will be treated and identified.

Among them, knights are the most special, and once they appear, they can obtain official nobility. But the others are not too bad, and as a member of the Boreham family, Barrett must also be entrusted with important responsibilities by the family - the stewardship of a manor is probably only the first test given by the family.

Seeing the change in Barrett's face, Earl Boreham thought he was worried about his lack of ability. Then he opened his mouth to reassure: "You can learn management things slowly, and the head of the family will also arrange someone to guide you." We won't put too much pressure on you in this area, and I think you should be able to get started quickly if you put your mind to it. ”

The job of the manor steward is not big or small. Because in most realms, the manor is the smallest administrative body. For the most part, they were able to achieve relative self-sufficiency, and at the same time were able to provide the lord with the materials and force necessary to maintain a minimum of rule - in other words, it was a small society.

Manor stewardship, on the other hand, is more than just managing production – although for most people it is not at all simple. At the same time, he also needs to sort out the various contradictions in this small society and eliminate all kinds of disputes that may exist. Let their production and life remain in a relatively stable state.

Furthermore, a high-level steward can also increase the centripetal force of the people in the manor to the territory, and increase their loyalty to the ruling family. It can even improve production efficiency, improve estate output, and so on. Therefore, this is a very challenging position for people's administrative ability - if you do it well, it will be relatively difficult to transfer to other positions.

"If I accept this appointment, will my companion join me?" Barrett asked what was most important to him right now.

Count Boreham nodded: "It's natural. You can even give your mercenary group a location, and I'll greet the people below and the saxophone side in this regard. I think with the militia at the manor, you'd be enough to keep it safe. ”

"Thank you very much Lord Earl for your trust, in that case, I am willing to try my best in that area." As he said this, Barrett began to bend down and salute. (To be continued.) )
