Chapter 024: Solicitation
After about an hour, Xia Feng finally returned, bringing the message that the other party was willing to talk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Binglian and Jiao Ming glanced at each other, they were both relieved, not worried about Xia Feng, after all, they hadn't torn their faces yet, and there was no need for the other party to hurt a maid who delivered a letter no matter what. The worst case scenario is that the other party doesn't want to interview at all, in which case Jiao Ming is worried that Binglian will take extreme measures.
It was still three people, and they came to the tent of the market again, and they thought they would meet an old magician with wisdom in their eyes, but they didn't expect it to be the countess named Vera. At this moment, Vera was smiling, and her affinity was not losing her majesty, she was still wearing the purple robe in the morning, but she was more aristocratic than the ice lotus who was wearing aristocratic clothes.
All the small goods in the tent have been removed, there is only a set of exquisite tables and chairs in the middle, the two sides sit down face to face, and the servant brings up a set of porcelain tea sets with purple patterns, and the faint aroma spreads.
Vera poured two cups of tea and sent them to Binglian and Jiao Ming, then poured another cup for herself, and then said a ceremonial meeting with Binglian, Jiao Ming listened in a fog, and it wasn't until Xia Feng gently shrugged off the wheelchair that Jiao Ming came back to his senses.
"Huh?" Although Jiao Ming was reminded that the two of them had finished their polite conversation, he didn't know where the topic was going.
"I haven't asked for my husband's name yet. Vera repeated the question.
"Jiao Ming, just call me Jiao Ming. Jiao Ming smiled dryly to ease the embarrassment, "My lingua franca is not very good, forgive me." β
When introducing themselves on this continent, the nobles will add the suffix of the title, and the family with a bit of history will also boast about the glorious deeds of the elders by the way, and a short and straightforward self-introduction like Jiao Ming naturally represents the identity of a commoner.
Bing Lian frowned slightly, realizing that Jiao Ming should be educated in some aristocratic etiquette, but at this moment, he could only speak in person to remedy: "Jiao Ming is my chief retainer and has obtained the title of knight. β
Vera nodded, her gaze wandering back and forth on Bing Lian and Jiao Ming, becoming more and more ambiguous and gossipy. Jiao Ming's civilian aura can't be wrong, although he has obtained the title of knight, but it is obviously too short to have been educated in aristocratic etiquette, and the future heir of the crocodile leader is so protective of him, and he is also obedient when shopping in the morning. If it weren't for such an unclear negotiation, Vera would have made up a poignant love story in her head.
Binglian coughed lightly, interrupting Vera's ambiguous scrutiny: "Let's get down to business, I don't know what you think about our invitation?"
"I didn't expect you to be the heir to the Crocodile Territory, and to be honest, I was surprised when I saw it in the letter. There were many rude times in the morning, so please don't be surprised. "In terms of title, Binglian is two levels higher than Vera, but one is the heir from a remote area, and the other is a down-and-out nobleman from a developed area. And Binglian didn't reveal her identity in the morning, strictly speaking, Vera didn't have anything rude. "With all due respect, it's a little hard for me to make such an invitation just after we met. β
"Crocodile Collar has been vacant for magical advisors due to some old historical reasons. This morning, when I learned that Ling Zun had actually invented such a magic item as a streaming machine, I naturally admired it and took the liberty of sending out an invitation, whether it was a CD or not, to see the will of heaven. "Binglian's words are high-sounding, to put it bluntly, with the mentality of giving it a try.
"On behalf of my father, I thank you for the invitation, but we ask for something else. β
Binglian and Jiao Ming glanced at each other, and it was obvious that Vera's answer was beyond the expectations of the two. And Jiao Ming felt that Vera had a more frank meaning than in the morning, under the appearance of aristocratic demeanor.
"I don't know how to explain it for a while, why don't you two listen to a story?" Vera took a sip of tea, and actually took out a chat posture.
Jiao Ming secretly said what the hell is this routine, I don't understand it at all, but everyone has said so, can they still let the family continue. Binglian was also a little confused, but politely asked the other party to speak.
The story is not complicated, it is nothing more than the history of a very talented civilian magician, first because of his outstanding talent, he won the favor of a high-level magician, and then tied the knot with a certain nobleman Bai Fumei, and finally reached the pinnacle of life with the manufacturing technology in his hand. After inventing the Shadow Machine, he was overshadowed and went to the north to seek the help of the crocodile collar. Of course, as the daughter of the protagonist, her position is still very clear, and the father in her mouth is definitely a moral benchmark and a model of human nature.
Binglian and Jiao Ming looked at each other, but they didn't expect that this fat sheep was actually sent to the door.
"It's a wonderful story, but I don't know what our crocodile leader can do to help Ling Zun?" Binglian was unmoved by the story, maintaining the calmness that a lord should have. After all, other people's stories are only one-sided, and you can't believe them all.
"My father was killed and lost two important things, and if you can help him find these two things, you will naturally be willing to do the same thing. Vera said the conditions.
"What did your dad lose?" Jiao Ming was really curious.
"Hands and fighting spirit. Vera looked gloomy.
Bing Lian nodded, as if she had expected it, but Jiao Ming was dumbfounded. "In that case, I'm willing to help Ling Zun, and since I'm my magic advisor, please come with us to the manor in the north of the Crocodile Territory, I don't know what you think?"
"Yes, after packing up, we can follow you at any time, my lord. "Now that the deal has been negotiated, Binglian is already the lord of this group.
Vera's attitude of such cooperation is strange, if it is abrupt to send an invitation when they meet for the first time, it is simply as naΓ―ve as a six-year-old child to go so easily with the person they meet for the first time. Binglian and Jiao Ming could both find the problem, but after thinking about it, they decided to hold it in their hearts, and it was not too late to ask again when they were familiar with it in the future.
When the matter was settled, Vera instructed the servant a few words, and went back to the castle with the three of them, and such an act of being slaughtered by others was also a kind of greatest sincerity. Jiao Ming didn't realize this layer, but he seemed to hear the prompt sound effect of a new teammate joining the team, and he didn't use violence and solved the problem smoothly, nothing was more pleasing than this.
