Morse didn't know the bitterness in Rita's heart, and when he saw the excited look of the person in front of him, he just smiled and went up to the second floor together.

"Uncle, long time no see......"

Once upstairs, Rita meets Bancroft bent over tea.

"Since you're here, sit down." The voice was faint, and Bancroft didn't seem to pay too much attention to it, as if the arrival of the two of them was the most ordinary thing.

"Uncle is at ease, Rita thought that coming here would scare Uncle this time." Rita teased, and Bancroft was not annoyed, just smiled: "I was really scared by you, of course not this time, come, drink tea, well, this young man too." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Morse sat down opposite Bancroft with Rita and said nothing else.

"Which time was that?" Rita habitually blew on the black tea in the teacup, and then took a sip, "Rita doesn't remember when she did anything. ”

"You......" Bancroft shook his head, a little helpless, "Didn't I send you a mission over there?" In fact, I received the news of the extinction of the village there within two days of your departure, and although I also organized people to inspect it later, it did not come to fruition. ”

"Oh, that's the time...... It's nothing, though, and it's a little dangerous, but it's pretty good in terms of the harvest. ”

"I know, when I see you like this, I know you're doing well." Isn't that good? This girl in front of her is about to go to the sky, okay, "It only took three days to hit the royal capital of the Principality of Otto from the border of the Principality of Otto, and this is really the first time I have heard of it." ”

"It's just a fluke, if it weren't for the combination of various factors, Rita wouldn't be able to do this." Rita smiled, and although she said modest words, there was no humility on her face.

"Being able to take advantage of conditions is also a kind of ability, otherwise why is the queen the only one who has done this for so many years?"

"Looks like you know." Rita smiled meaningfully.

"It's too fake if you don't know about such a big thing, after all, so much time has passed in terms of time."

"Yes."

Rita nodded, and there was silence for a while, and for a moment the air around her was a lot quieter.

"Speaking of which...... I wonder what the Queen is here for this time? Bancroft asked, thoughtful.

"Just thanks." Rita replied lightly, but the person before the meeting didn't believe it, and after a pause of two seconds, she replied again, "Of course, please ask Uncle for a favor." ”

"What's the rush? If it's the identity of the person who sent the painting, forget it, although the Duchy of Evel has now been rebuilt, but since he promised someone, I won't reveal his identity until the other party doesn't let go. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not bored to that point, some things are known when you know, you don't know if you don't know, it's not a good thing to keep entangled. And I believe that if the day came when I could know, that person would naturally appear in front of me, and for now...... It doesn't matter, and I don't really want to know, after all, sometimes if you want to repay the favor, it is a pressure for both parties. ”

Rita's words fell into her ears, and for a moment not only Bancroft, but even Morse, who was sitting on the side, was a little speechless, after all, it was the first time they had heard such a statement.

"Do you remember the first time I was here?"

"You said you were short of money and wanted to take on the task?" At the mention of this, Bancroft was speechless for a while, to be honest, it was the first time he had seen someone who could say that the lack of money was so reasonable, so he was also a little curious about what the person in front of him had done with the money.

"yes, I was busy enough during that time." The corners of Rita's mouth curled slightly, and at the same time, there was a hint of nostalgia on her face. And Morse was silent when he saw this, but he carved the queen's lack of money in his heart, well, he had to remember it firmly.

"But that's it, that's why I was able to survive in the first place, otherwise I ......" said this, Rita sighed again, and Bancroft and Morse inevitably felt some empathy at the moment after seeing the kind of wound on the girl's face, as for persuasion, what can they say? Don't let the other person be sad? Is this a consolation or a poke at the sore spot?

"Fortunately, it's not bad now, at least I've got most of what I wanted, and I've got a lot of what I didn't have before, and the rest doesn't matter much if I never find it."

"Also, there is a loss and there is a gain, and it is naturally best for the queen to think like this." Probably because he couldn't find words of comfort, Bancroft could only follow Rita's words for a while.

"So in this case, can Uncle help me take care of a few people?" Rita smiled and explained the purpose of her visit.

"Oh? Who bothered the queen so much? Bancroft was curious, and so was Morse.

"It's not a particularly important person, a few children, I was busy for them some time ago, but you should have heard about some things later, and this time I came here in addition to being invited by friends, but also thinking about bringing those children back to the Duchy of Evel."

"It's just that a few children are really not a big deal, but I just don't know when the queen will take people away? After all, I'm not a good place to keep kids here for long, anyway. ”

"The time is unknown, but it shouldn't be a lot of genius, after all, as long as I go to Elias Olnis's side and say it, but I have offended a lot of people before, if I don't find out that I know those children, it's okay, but when I go to the palace and say this, it will be regarded as taking the initiative to tell others about this relationship, if I don't have time to come back, even if the possibility is small, but there is a risk of death for those children."

"Okay, I see, I'll get people to pay attention to this, and you can just leave me the address later, and ...... Is there anything else you need? ”

……

"This time the matter is settled?" Outside the mercenary guild, Morse looked at the girl in front of him who had achieved a big thing and her face was full of peach blossoms, and he only felt extremely interesting.

"It's not counting, after all, I haven't bought anything yet."

"So you're going to the market this time?" Looking at the direction Rita was heading, Morse knew it for a while.

"That's right, I haven't seen you for so long, how can you not bring a few gifts?"

"Didn't you say that you would let the vice president help you find the book?" Morse is a little strange, it stands to reason that books should be considered a very valuable gift among human beings, and they need to be exchanged for other ones?

"Books are good, but you should also know that good books are hard to find." Rita pursed her lips, "Besides, even if it is a verbal promise, it is still up to the two to say whether they can find it when the time comes." ”

"Well, you should have a lot of money to look at, but what are you going to buy? If you're a child, you should just bring some food, right? ”

Morse asked casually, but the words drew someone's eyes.

"What? Am I saying something wrong? Morse still remembers that he was a person who could give up everything for a bite to eat, and that experience could not be forgotten even after hundreds of thousands of years, so Rita said that he wanted to buy things for children, and his first impression was this.

"Eating is definitely to be bought, but it doesn't take too much, after all, those children are not short of food now, and compared to eating, everyone thinks differently, clothes, books, or tools used on weekdays, pots and pans, don't think those children are small, but in terms of the ease of life, I don't think you are necessarily better than others."

Morse was speechless, if he didn't think there was anything in the front, but in the back, when it came to pots and pans, he knew what Rita was referring to, but to be honest, he really didn't know how to live, except that normal life was too far away, and it was one of the reasons why he didn't have that kind of thought.

It seems that he will have to learn how to do it in the future? And he still remembered that in addition to money, the girl in front of him seemed to like food, and she was also a master of cooking.

"Well, that's all for now, but if you take it all, it's going to be a problem." In the dark alley, Rita touched her chin and looked thoughtfully at the pile of items in front of her, which was a man tall.

"Why do you buy so much if you're in trouble?" In fact, after witnessing the whole process of the person in front of him buying things, Morse can be said to be a little dumbfounded, after all, how to say it, although he has someone, it is the first time he has seen someone who can buy so many things at one time.

"Actually, it's not much, after all, it's for more than a dozen people, and now that I've bought it, I should think about how to take it away."

Morse: He understands the "......" principle, but why does he have to run into the alley? Wouldn't it be better to rent a carriage?

"Horse-drawn carriages still cost money, wouldn't it be better to find free labor? You know, the place I'm going to is not very far from here, and it only takes half a day to walk. "That bamboo forest is indeed not far from this town, of course, if it was far away, she would not have put those children in the bamboo forest in the first place.

Morse: "......" feelings, all of which were fake, were all fake? Don't have money?

At this time, Morse could be regarded as seeing Rita's side of slamming the door, of course, he didn't think anything about it, after all, he knew that the person in front of him was only for himself, not for others, otherwise if it weren't for this, Rita wouldn't have bought so many things for that group of children, and some of them were not cheap in terms of value.

"It's almost time, and it's time for those who are following behind me to show their heads." Standing like this for a while, Rita suddenly opened her mouth, and Morse naturally knew what she was referring to, those who had been following them since they came out of the Mercenary Guild, the other party hadn't done it before, and the two of them were not simple people, so they didn't care much.
