A few days ago, a mercenary came back to report that the mission team had successfully completed the mission at a very small cost, and was currently on the way back, but because they were carrying a large amount of food, the speed was very slow, and the time to return would have to wait a few days. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Steven who got the news was really ecstatic, he finally let go of his hanging heart and left his brother-in-law Alan, he lived alone in this mixed city, and he was really a little weak-hearted, but this was even more important to his idea of wanting to create a force of his own, he wanted to have the ability to protect himself even when his brother-in-law Alan was not there, and he wanted to have a status that others respected.

Steven pondered in his own home, and then sent someone to call Quake in, the store was closed, and the object of Quake's protection changed from the store to Steven's home, and Quake himself was Steven's captain of the guard, but Steven did not pay him a commission directly, but to the mercenary union. Of course, in private, Steven didn't treat Quake badly, and Quake's old mother had already moved out of her dilapidated house, and even had a servant call him.

After Quake finished giving himself a gift, Steven explained his thoughts to him, and asked him to recruit two groups of people for himself, one group of people had a clear move, selected some strong ones from the slave market, and trained them, they were the guards of his own family, which was the standard for every rich family. The other group of people have to make secret moves, and there is no limit to their status, whether they are mercenaries, refugees, adventurers, or even beggars on the street, as long as they are faithful to themselves, and then quietly train them and let them be used for their own use.

Quake was very efficient, it took less than ten days to complete the recruitment of the first two groups, and the most important second group was indeed as Steven had explained, mercenaries, refugees, adventurers, and even beggars on the street, and he placed them all in a vacant manor that Steven had bought on the outskirts of the city, waiting for Steven to review and perform a simple allegiance ceremony, and when these were completed, Quake could train them.

Today was the day Steven was going to see these people, and Quake was already waiting outside early in the morning, but Steven did not panic and changed into his formal clothes before asking the servants to prepare the carriage for him. However, before the carriage was ready, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves and brakes outside the door, and the eldest lady Selena suddenly arrived at this time.

The eldest lady is not in a small position today, she is sitting in a luxurious carriage, hugging her forward and back, not only guards, but also many maids to follow.

While Steven was wondering what Selena was going to do, the eldest lady had already jumped out of the carriage with her skirt in her hand.

"It's hot, it's hot!"

The eldest lady casually took off the hat on her head and fanned it in her ear.

"Miss, pay attention to the appearance! The master specially explained, pay attention to the appearance!"

Two maids rushed up from behind, one helped Selena hold her skirt, and the other busily snatched the hat from her hand and put it back on.

"So you already knew, I still want to surprise you!"

Selena walked in the door and said with a smile when she saw Steven who was dressed in a formal suit and ready to go out. She was wearing the same formal dress today, a scarlet tunic dress embroidered with gold, a leather belt inlaid with gems around her waist, a wide-brimmed hat on her head, and a long hair exposed under the hat was braided into small braids, which looked noble and wild, plus a pair of smart eyes, which added a bit of lovely aura to her. Not only that, but the eldest lady also rarely paints her eyebrows, and even the small lips are painted in bright colors.

"What? You seem to be dressed more formally today. ”

Steven was very surprised by Selena's sudden arrival, and even more surprised by the eldest lady's formal dress, he knew that although this eldest lady was noble, but because she was used to it, she was dressed more casually, and the eldest lady seemed to have something to say as soon as she opened her mouth, so something important must have happened today.

"Yes, I'm going to die of heat, but my father has to let me wear this outfit to greet your brother-in-law and them on their triumphant return. ”

The eldest lady pouted to express her dissatisfaction with the lord, but she didn't dare to take off her hat this time, because the two maids next to her were still staring at each other.

"What? Brother-in-law is back?

Hearing that Alan was coming back, Steven was surprised and delighted, but as soon as he thought about it, he suddenly fell into thought, why Alan didn't arrange for someone to bring him a letter in advance when he came back, and didn't pay attention to the eldest lady's coquettishness at all.

Steven had received the news that Alan had transferred back through the mercenary union before, and knew that Allen's task had been successfully completed, but he still had important things to deal with at hand, so he might not be able to come back in time, Alan did not reveal that he had anything to do, but Steven's confession was definitely inconvenient for many people to know, so he concealed it, but he didn't expect Alan to deal with it so quickly, and he actually caught up with the return of other mercenaries.

"Yes, my father received the news yesterday that he was expected to arrive at noon today, and my father was very happy to hear it, and in order to express his gratitude and commendation for their successful completion of this mission, my father decided to personally go out of the city to welcome the mercenary team back. ”

Selena further explained.

"I see, I really don't know if you don't say it. Come, prepare a carriage and horses for me, and we will go out of the city together to meet my brother-in-law. ”

Steven excitedly instructed the servants, having already forgotten about going to the manor in the suburbs with Quake. Quake himself understood Allen's place in Steven's heart, so he simply ignored the matter and didn't even mention it, but just led his subordinates to follow the convoy of two people to protect Steven's safety.

When the convoy of two people came to the outside of the city, they saw that a pergola had already been set up in the open space, and the pergola was surrounded by people from the security team, and all idle people were not allowed to approach.

In the pergola, Quentin and Nelson, the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group, have arrived, the reason why Quentin arrived early is mainly to prepare for safe work in advance, and Nelson came so early because the mercenary team that won this victory nominally belonged to the Tiger Mercenary Group, and except for the leader of the mission, Allen, and a few people around him, the mercenaries from Bloom down were all members of the Tiger Mercenary Group. In addition, Nelson has some selfish intentions, and he is so active because he wants Alan to help him with something.

When he first received the mission, Nelson didn't want his mercenary group to take over at all, he thought that this was a mission to die, and it would be better to let it be given to other mercenary groups, but who knew that Bloom and the brothers volunteered, and Horranster nodded in agreement. Nelson, who knew the news, couldn't change anything, and could only sigh that Bloom was a little unbelievable, and at the same time felt sorry for this promising swordsman. But who knows, after more than a month, the news came back, and the task was really completed by them, and the battle damage was extremely low, and a total of eight people died, which completely stunned him.
