"But I have one more thing that I would like to talk to the Master alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Gerald stopped shaking his head and looked at Kevin and Steven beside him.
"You two talk first, we have a friend over there, go over and have a look. β
Kevin and Steven immediately understood from Gerald's eyes that the two of them were in the way here, and Steven had no intention of leaving, but Kevin took the initiative to ask to leave.
"Kevin, don't rush to go, I still have something to say to you. β
As Kevin stepped forward to leave, Alan stopped him, then turned to Gerald and smiled:
"Kevin is my good buddy and brother, so if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. β
"Your Excellency Master is really different, then I will not speak secretly. β
Steven's existence is understandable, but seeing that Alan does not shy away from Kevin's existence at all, Gerald had a moment with a very surprised expression on his face, he is also a business agent, he does not have this kind of treatment from Kevin, but he quickly put away his surprised expression and said with a serious expression.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. β
"Your Excellency, I have come to you this time for an important mission, the Hepburn family invites you to the south to develop. β
"The Hepburns still need magicians?"
Alan was taken aback, he had the impression that the Hepburns were backed by the big tree of the Holy See, and he had never heard of a magician in the Holy See.
"The Hepburn family recruits all the useful talents on the continent, and the magician, as one of the strongest people on the continent, of course, also includes it, especially a person like Your Excellency whose alchemy has reached the point of being superb, and it is a talent we urgently need, as long as you are willing to go over, the position of the chief magician of the Hepburn family is yours, and then you will not only enjoy endless glory and wealth, but also a noble status that the world looks up to. And people around you can go with you. β
Listening to Gerald's words, Steven and Kevin both showed expressions of disbelief, Gerald's real purpose this time was not to talk to Alan about cooperation, but to invite Alan to work for the Hepburn family, but this method of directly digging into the wall is also in line with the consistent principle of the Hepburn family, that is, the business of making money is better than cooperating, and it is better to take it all into your own hands. However, for this change, the performance of the two people is slightly different.
Steven shook his head at Alan slightly, expressing his disapproval.
Kevin first showed a look of surprise, and then quickly calmed down, if he had the opportunity to play for the Hepburn family before, it would undoubtedly be a good opportunity for him to show his strength, but now Allen has provided him with a platform, although this platform is not big enough, but there is enough freedom and space, and what is even more rare is Allen's unreserved trust in him, which is unavoidable, but he is not Steven, he can't and doesn't want to affect Allen's judgment and choice, he can only wait for Allen's decision with anxiety in his heartγ
"I've been to the south, it's beautiful and produceful, but it's not for us, I still like the north. β
The "we" in Allen's mouth refers to him and Steven, but Gerald will be mistaken, thinking that Allen's "we" refers to the magician, so the corners of his mouth immediately flashed a trace of an unfathomable smile, and said:
"Your Excellency, I know what you're worried about, but I can pledge my allegiance to the gods that any force south of the Togo Hills will give face to the Hepburns, remember, I'm talking about any power. If you are willing to join the Hepburn family, as the chief mage of the Hepburn family, even if the kings of the southern countries see you, you must be respectful. Of course, if Your Excellency really does not adapt to the climate and customs of the South, it will not take a few years for the Hepburn family's business to move north, and then Your Excellency will move back. β
Gerald has traveled far and south for many years, and knows that the wizard community generally has a concern about the Holy See, but on this occasion it is inconvenient for him to directly mention the name of the Holy See, so he emphasizes that it is "all forces", which means that even the most powerful forces, the Holy See, are no exception. He is not only tempting Allen, but also showing off the strength of the Hepburn family nakedly, of course, the Hepburn family does have this strength for him to show off. In the end, he even took into account the differences in living circumstances and habits, Gerald was not only valued by the Hepburn family because of speculation, he was not only thoughtful, but also did his homework in advance.
"Thank you for your kindness, what you said is indeed very tempting, but I am a descendant of mercenaries, and I can't leave the ancient city of Aogu at will. β
Alan duly took out his identity as a mercenary as a shield.
"Those rules are used to bind ordinary people, but they are of little use to Your Excellency Mage, the key is to see what you think. β
There was a shrewd glint in Gerald's slightly narrowed eyes, and he could certainly tell that this was just Allen's prevarication.
"It doesn't matter what I think, it's what Oku-sama thinks. β
"Oko, you mean Oko-sama doesn't approve of you leaving here?"
Gerald hesitated for a moment, and then showed a sudden look:
"That's right, a person as good as Lord Mage, of course, Lord Ogu won't let go easily, but I can try to talk to Lord Oku. In that case, everyone enjoys. β
Having already talked about everything, but nothing was found, Gerald, slightly disappointed, bowed slightly to Alan and left, walking towards the high platform, where Hollanster was having a pleasant conversation with Mayor Aple.
"Brother-in-law, are you really thinking about going to the south?"
As soon as Gerald left, Steven asked nervously.
"Of course not, I just told him to go to Ogu-sama. β
Eren cast a sound barrier magic around the three of them to ensure that their words would not be heard by others passing by.
"What if Oko-sama agrees?"
Steven asked.
"From what I know about Lord Ogu, he would rather let me live in seclusion in Yuewan Village than agree to let me join the Hepburn family. β
"What if Oku-sama agrees?"
Steven pressed on.
"No in case, even if there were, I never promised that Oku-sama would agree that I would pass. β
A sly smile appeared on Allen's face.
"Since my brother-in-law has thought it through, I am relieved. β
Seeing Allen's smile, Steven's nervous expression finally relaxed. The conditions offered by the Hepburn family are very exciting, but fortunately, brother-in-law Allen once again resisted the temptation.
"Allen, you are not willing to continue to cooperate with the Hepburn family, but also refuse their invitation, with the Hepburn family's style of doing things, I am afraid that they will not give up, especially when the potions we produce start to suppress their potion sales, they will definitely take action. β
Allen's rejection of the Hepburn family's invitation surprised and delighted Kevin, at least on the same terms, which was difficult for him to refuse, but he immediately packed up his unrealistic fantasies and began to think about the possible consequences of this incident.
