Chapter 135: Standing still
In Yunlang's original idea, by exploring the amount of soul energy, the individual strength was roughly determined.
If some people deliberately conceal their strength, there must be problems. On this basis, we will continue to investigate carefully, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.......
However, things didn't turn out as simple as he thought, with Huck in front and Tallinn behind...... From this point of view, there is undoubtedly a big problem with his plan.
But since Xingshi has done this, if he gives it halfway, the gain outweighs the loss. Fortunately, he was patient, and first asked Vivian to call the other two male servants with third-order strength to the front first, and asked them one by one.
These two middle-aged manservants were the ones who had originally stayed in the lord's mansion. The senior maid Tracy felt that their body was okay, and they were familiar with the environment of Shining Gold Town, coupled with the urgent shortage of manpower, so she chose them as help.
Originally, it was just a very normal thing and a small thing....... If Yun Lang hadn't noticed that their soul energy had exceeded the average level of the third order, then this matter would definitely not cause more waves.
The appearance of the two middle-aged manservants is incommensurate with their age, their eyes are troublesome, and they don't have much brilliance. When they stand there, they look like wood carvings, and if they don't call them, they will unconsciously stay in a daze. Sometimes, I don't know if they're asleep or not.......
Vivian put on a defensive look, and asked directly instead of Yun Lang: "You are all third-order powerhouses, are you a bit condescending to engage in the affairs of a manservant?"
When the two of them heard this, they were shocked, their numb eyes suddenly became smarter, and they lowered their heads.......
"Hmph, I advise you, don't make superfluous moves, in front of the two fourth-order sages, you have no hope. Mansha threatened in a cold voice.
The two hesitated, and one of them replied in a low voice, "I....... I like to be a valet, are the adults going to punish me for that?"
"With third-order strength, you can't go anywhere, you can't eat fine clothes, aren't you willing to stay in the lord's mansion and act as a lowly manservant?" Mansha interrogated on her behalf.
"I've been here for a long time....... I don't want to change places. Since the new lord has given me the opportunity to serve, I will live here. Anyway, it's all about eating and sleeping, and since it's here, I'm going to stay here?" he replied calmly.
"Hehe......." Mansha knew that he was arguing with strong words, but she just didn't know how to refute it.
Yunlang's brain turned quickly, and he was also good at discernment, so he took the initiative to take over the topic and continued to interrogate: "You said you have been here for a long time, how long have you been?"
"It's been two years......." he hesitated, but replied anyway.
"Is two years a long time?" Yun Lang asked rhetorically, and continued: "In two years, you can enter the third order from the second order, which is already very good. But even if it was only a second-order before, it shouldn't be a manservant, but a guard!"
"The manservant is more leisurely and worry-free....... I love being a valet. He didn't panic at all.
"That'...... Tell me, what did you do before that?" Yun Lang asked again.
He was silent for a while, and then replied in detail: "I am an adventurer, in an adventure, all my companions died tragically, I was disheartened, so I came to Shining Gold Town, just when the lord's mansion recruited a man, I accepted the assessment, and successfully became a manservant here." Three months ago, the lord died of illness, and most of the male and female servants were taken away, and I was left behind and abandoned because I was too old and did not perform too well. ”
He replied without leak......
Yun Lang looked at him from a distance, speechless for a while, and a little at a loss....... But he was sure in his heart that even if this person was not a silver mask, he was definitely not a simple character.
"How do you expose him?" Yun Lang pondered quickly in his heart: "Threaten? He is so calm, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be effective...... Temptation? He can voluntarily engage in the affairs of the manservant, and I am afraid he doesn't care about these things....... By the way, I don't have to ask for a result now. If you always follow their train of thought, you will always be led by the nose. As long as I can stabilize the situation, the situation will be more and more favorable to me! Hmph....... I won't argue with you!"
Yun Lang's thoughts flowed, that is, in a few breaths, he made up his mind, and his tone changed: "Vivian, let's put him in the dungeon first! Since he has no pursuit, he will stay in the dungeon first, and there should be no shortage of clothes and food, after all, he is a third-order powerhouse, and we can't treat him badly!"
"Master......." Vivian looked back at Yunlang in astonishment, and saw that he frequently signaled, so she didn't say anything.
Mansha nodded slightly, as if she understood Yunlang's general intentions......
The middle-aged manservant, who had not spoken, was also locked up in the dungeon, and he never said a word from beginning to end.
However, after he was taken away, Yun Lang specially explained to Mansha that he must pay attention to the next two people, and if they want to escape and it is difficult to stop them, they can kill them on the spot.
After Mansha received the order, she had a general idea on the spot.
After letting the other maids and valets go back separately, Yunlang left Tallinn and Hela alone, Jane.
He first said to Hela, "Hela, the reward promised to you has been fulfilled in full. Do you want more rewards?"
“....... It depends on what you ask me to do. "Hela is very alert.
"Are you going to set a magic trap?" Yun Lang asked a question first.
"Of course, however, to set up a magic array with powerful attack power, you need a lot of magic materials, which is worth a lot of money!" she wanted to get some extra benefits from it.
"What about the magic traps used for warning?" Yun Lang's purpose was to get her to assist in the vigilance, but he didn't expect her to use magic traps to destroy enemies.
"That's easier!" she said a little proudly, "I said, I'm a generalist, if you treat me like a maid, you're the one who loses!"
Yun Lang couldn't help but smile: "From tomorrow, while you follow Jenny's arrangement, you cooperate with the garrison Mansa White to set magic traps in some key positions in the City Lord's Mansion. All the materials, provided by me, and for each successful magic trap you set, you will be rewarded with an additional ten silver coins. ”
"Ah....... Why do you have to report to Jenny!Haven't you already decided to reuse me?" she grimaced, reluctantly.
"The two are not in conflict. I want you to behave well, and if Jenny is not happy with you after the appraisal period, everything you have now will disappear. Yun Lang said to her very seriously.
"Hmph......" she snorted and walked away angrily.
After Hela walked away, Vivien suggested with some unhappiness: "Master, Hela is too rude, if she doesn't punish her properly, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future." ”
Yun Lang smiled and persuaded: "Her temper is a little weird, but we still need to use her strength, so let's make her proud for a while...... In the future, if she still doesn't know how to restrain, I will allow you to teach her a good lesson. ”
Vivien dissipated some of her resentment......
Yun Lang turned to Mansha again and said, "Mansha, as for those intruders caught tonight, you should interrogate them first, and if you find anything, report to me in time." In addition, in the next two days, Baron Harold will hand over the defense of the east side of the town with you, and if you are really short on manpower and cannot recruit temporarily, you can borrow two squadron guards from him, and if he does not want to borrow, let him come to me....... When the time comes, I'll talk to him in detail!"
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will do this carefully and will not let any chaos occur in the area I am responsible for. Mansa salute commanded.
After roughly disposing of these trivial matters, he rubbed his head and looked at Tallinn who was standing there again, his pressure was doubled, and his heart beat unconsciously.......
Suddenly, he approached Vivian and Mansha, who was about to say goodbye and leave, and said mysteriously, "There is one thing, it is better for you to know about it." ”
Seeing him behave like this, both of them cheered up and listened carefully......
