The rain of late autumn came suddenly, and just as the two were talking, it suddenly began to rain outside, and suddenly a damp smell wafted in through the open window, with the freshness of the earth.

"That's it for today, do you need me to help you back to the bedroom?" Davix asked as he poured another glass of wine, and the two of them drank in silence.

The corners of Austin's mouth twitched as if he had smiled, and said, "You go back, I'll sit down for a while." ”

Davix nodded and closed the door, returning to the room a little drunk. Gadlin's figure appeared in the shadow at the corner of the corridor, looked at the two people who went back to their rooms, and sighed softly: "Actually, they are still children." ”

Davix lay on the bed, took a cigar from a drawer and lit it, and soon the enclosed room was filled with smoke. Thinking about the conversation with Austin just now, Davix's mind kept coming to mind the scene from the moment they first realized the present, and suddenly felt that his mind was drifting farther and farther away with the rain outside.

"Actually, it's not bad to follow you, at least I haven't suffered any grievances over the years. ”

Austin continued to huddle on the couch, and after making sure that no one was outside, he poured himself another midday glass, and finally smiled contentedly.

Opening the window and looking at the drizzle of rain drifting in outside, Austin didn't know what he was thinking with a hint of inexplicability.

Sleepless nights.

The next morning, they heard Gadlin's voice: "Master, Mr. Davix, are you two up? According to the arrangement, it is time for you two to go to the slave market this morning to select some slave fighters to form a personal guard." ”

By the standards of the dynasty, the barons had a hundred guards, the viscounts five hundred, the counts a thousand, and so on. At the level of the earl, it is basically a small army, and the 10,000 people who reach the duke can be regarded as leading a small army.

Only when they reach the official baron, the personal guard can officially enter the military establishment, and the guards of the manor can only be regarded as bodyguards. In fact, if it weren't for the spectacle, Austin didn't want those guards. After arriving at the baron, Austin finally had to form a formal private army and register with the military department, as is customary.

Thinking of the military department, Austin felt a little more gloom in his heart, but he didn't care much about it.

Austin and the two came to the hall at the same time, looking at each other's heavy dark circles, they couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Gadlin looked at the two of them and smiled, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. Thinking about the lives of the two of them, Gadlin shook his head and banished the idea.

"Master......, do you need to cancel today's trip?"

"I'm here to choose slaves, not to fight, out of the way. Austin said, waving his hand.

Gadlin no longer objected, nodded and said, "Then I'll arrange a trip for you." If your arm is not convenient, don't go to the public carriage, the carriage that you bought before in the manor has already been packed for you, and the coachman is called Luther, a teenager who has been working here for three years, and he is completely trustworthy. ”

"Have we ever bought a carriage?" Austin paused.

Gardlin, who always felt a little helpless about this master, replied, "You bought it after you were promoted to sir, but you haven't used it for years, and it has been idle for many years. Now that you have officially stepped into the baron, it is necessary for me to remind you that you need to maintain some ...... Aristocratic style. Although these are trivial, they may also become the subject of accusations by some people with ulterior motives. ”

Hearing that Gadlin's words meant something else, Austin nodded and said, "Indeed, it's good to avoid some unnecessary troubles. ”

The three of them walked to the door as they talked, and the young man named Luther was ready to bow down and wait at the door, a young man no more than fifteen years old, with dark skin with an oily sheen, and the characteristics of a southern fisherman. If you started doing things here three years ago, you can really trust it.

Austin and Davix nodded at Luther and said, "Let's go." ”

Luther was very excited all the way, and wanted to speak several times, but when he saw the two people in the carriage, he swallowed what he wanted to say. However, the look of admiration and excitement on his face could not be concealed, which made Austin a little surprised.

"Luther, are you afraid of me?"

"How so?" Luther was worried when he was startled when he heard Austin call his name, "I-I've only been here to see you for so many years, and I've been able to go back and brag to my friends for a long time, you don't know, we all admire you-"

"You guys?"

"Yes, before I entered your estate, I worked in a horse farm, the kind of horse racing and betting field, and I got to know a lot...... Friends who are not so good at getting into the eyes of big people, but everyone knows that you have also worked hard from the bottom to the current position, which is simply our goal. ”

Austin felt a little bitter in his heart, if he didn't know why he was appreciated by Lord von Lantlin, I am afraid that he would have rotted in the black prison of the Inquisition.

Seeing that Austin did not speak, Luther became a little frightened, and explained: "Master, I don't mean to offend you, I know that my friends and I don't even have the qualifications to look up to you, how can we target you......?

"It's okay, you're serious. Austin's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "You said that you know some people of all religions and nine ranks, are you very well-informed and know some underground forces?"

"Of course, I, Luther, would never dare to lie to you, I don't dare to say that I can know about the affairs of the lower city of Apocalypse City, but I can find out the big and small news. ”

Austin nodded and said, "Then this time I'll go to pick a slave, you can follow me and take a look, help me choose." ”

"Yes!" Luther was suddenly agitated, and with a vigorous whip, the horse seemed to run more cheerfully.

Closing the crack in the carriage door, Davix asked, "Austin, do you think this kid is not bad?"

"Don't you think he's a bit like when we first met von Lantlin? ”

"It's just that the source power level is a little lower, only a first order, and it's still used in a very ordinary ability like a strength and a speed. ”

"Ability can be cultivated, although the best cultivation stage has been missed, the strength of a person like this who has been crawling at the bottom of society since he was a child cannot be judged by a simple level. The fact that he was able to enter my manor shows that there is still a chance to be valued. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, he must still have a talent for shadows? ”

"Let's take a look at it again, it's still a good seedling if you don't look at the source force. Since you want to cultivate power, don't let go of any possible talent. ”

Davix nodded noncommittally.
