Chapter Eighty-Nine: Arrival and Entrustment
Bill rolled up all the pieces of paper that had guns to use, bullet making, gun fighting, and skill summaries, and then took out the [Soul Hunter] again, the pistol had a wallet around his waist, and if he needed concealment, he had to get a larger trench coat scarf or cape.
These things are secondary, Bill just swaggering with his gun on his body and going out with a roll of paper.
Everyone was really playing cards, including Lina, who had just come back, and the four of them sat on the bed, talking and laughing and playing cards.
Bill stood quietly at the door, looking at his capable and armed appearance, it was better not to disturb everyone, he didn't want to play cards.
Bill went back to his room, took out his pen and paper, and left a note.
The demon salute in the lockbox, Bill didn't take it, because Bill knew that Jane didn't have any good weapons all along, and he didn't have the funds to buy it for her now, so in order for her to make full use of her combat power, Bill left this nice short knife to her.
Night, Bill doesn't know if the door to the Laurent family is open, but he goes anyway.
Under the night, Bill doesn't need to hide his figure, others can't see it at all, the soldiers at night are not too few, and Bill's stealth saves a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The Laurent family, Bill, had all the terrain in mind when he first arrived at the Ya'an River.
Laurent is a family of swordsmanship, so a huge welcome hall was built directly in front of the family gate, you can enter when you open the door, and the guests who visit can be received here, and if you want to enter the family territory, you must pass through the back door of the hall, led by a servant, and the back, is the range of activities of the family members, unlike the poor Lestara private territory that is quiet and even has few servants, there are many people here, and the swordsmanship apprentices in the family all live here for the convenience of learning, Bill came once, I've seen a small two-story building inside, the place here is big enough, there are training grounds, residential areas, lecture areas, arenas everything, it's like a small academy.
In the middle of the night, Bill knocked on the door and entered.
The entrance is a custom-made modular door with four panels open at all corners to allow Bill to enter.
The chief butler of the Laurent family, a middle-aged man named Wind Breath, has been exposed to such an environment, and he is also a respectable master of swordsmanship, and Bill has seen him before.
Both politely greeted each other, and Windbreath thought that Bill was looking for Miss Fiona and was about to politely refuse, but Bill handed him the letterhead without saying a word.
It was the handwriting of the head of the Rubin family, and Wind Breath just looked at Bill again in a weird way, and led Bill into the back door in a proper manner.
In the middle of the night, Rubin was in his study, not sleeping.
Bill's arrival alone came as a big surprise to Mr. Rubin.
These prominent aristocrats of the older generation all knew Bill, and it can be seen that Bill's social circle was very extensive.
Although Rubin is over the middle of the year, he still looks like he is in the prime of life, his figure is magnificent, and his temperament is soft and introverted, sitting in the study, making people feel a unique bookish atmosphere, but Rubin is a top swordsmanship, not an elegant reader.
"Bill? What are you doing here? β
Rubin is practicing calligraphy in his room! He never expected Bill to come, and it was at this time.
"I'm sorry, but it's so urgent, I don't dare to come here until now, Mr. Rubin, this is the letter of recommendation that Trist asked me to hand you over."
Rubin was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was cloudy, but he just took the envelope in his hand and did not open it.
Bill didn't speak, but stood still.
After a long time, Rubin's voice was slightly dry, and he said, "Bill, you are a member of the Special Operations Vanguard."
"As you say," Bill nodded and smiled.
"That"
"Although my father is an admirable general, but that is not my honor, I will use my own hands and ability to create my own value, respected Mr. Rubin, your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, you should be able to understand what kind of dedication a person needs, this is my personal pursuit and dream!"
"You"
"I'll do what you gave me, don't worry." Bill was always running away or paddling in his training, and if Trist hadn't been willing to spare his life, Bill would have been purged and disappeared from this world forever.
He was the loser in the race, the one who almost lost in the first round, and he didn't even go through the selection test at all, and he was directly a brutal competition for the candidates.
And the composition of the Special Warfare Vanguard is very peculiar, when Bill returned to Debang and was intercepted by the Yuehua Assassins, he suspected that the Yuehua Assassin was a member of the Special Operations Vanguard, and the spy members who were inadvertently contacted in Tigur Town, that alert and cunning, and very outstanding in all aspects were also the members of the Special Warfare Vanguard, it is conceivable what kind of monsters these people who were screened to the end.
Rubin swallowed as if bitter, "Okay! Since you are one of our members, I believe you know that sometimes a sane mind is far more useful than brute force. β
Bill nodded thoughtfully.
"You can be recommended by that person, I should believe in your ability, but because of your identity, I will not force you"
"Tell me straight."
"During this time of my absence, protect my daughter, that is, Fiona, she is a little too strong, I am afraid that he will suffer, if someone scolds her in a sword fight, or someone makes it difficult for her in ordinary small things, and I am not there"
"I'll take good care of her! Don't worry! Bill didn't expect that this was actually related to Fiona, but considering the fact that Rubin was leaving, and Fiona as the eldest daughter of the sword, Bill was relieved.
"The Laurent family, thank you!"
Rubin, who has a noble status, actually bowed to Bill's chest, his current identity is not a continental swordsman, but an admirable father, taking care of Fiona's affairs, it is really extraordinary.
"Don't don't, Lord Rubinβ" Bill was anxious, and stepped forward with a red neck to dissuade him, if this really made Rubin so polite, then how could he be embarrassed to talk about his own remuneration! Bill immediately raised the issue of his own remuneration.
"I'll let the wind breathe and give you access to a small portion of the Laurent family's resources."
Rubin's words are completely tyrant-level hospitality.
At this point, Bill felt that he had a little belly, and that Rubin cared more about anything than Fiona, his own daughter?
"I'll take you to Fiona now, and I'll tell her about it, lest she misunderstand." Rubin was aware of the peculiarities of Bill's identity, so he really needed to explain it to Fiona.
It didn't take long for Bill and Rubin to arrive at Fiona's boudoir, also in the deepest part of the territory, in the same small building as Rubin, except that she lived on the second floor.
Bill stood outside Fiona's room, but he didn't get a chance to see Fiona's face at the moment, and he was locked out of the door by Rubin.
Bill could only hear the two muttering in the room.
For the first time in her father's presence, the haughty lady was obedient and submissive, and from the beginning to the end, Bill did not hear a word of disobedience from her.
Bill actually thought that she would have a hard time accepting his protection!
It's also interesting to say, Bill, who was once no match for Fiona's sword, is now sitting calmly in the position of her bodyguard, and the eldest daughter of swordsmanship who has no one in her eyes obediently agreed
Bill really wants to see what she looks like at this time, it must be interesting!
When Rubin came out, he was satisfied and pulled Bill back to the study downstairs.
Rubin temporarily gave his room to Bill, next door to Fiona, in order to protect his daughter at all times.
After that, Rubin told him a thousand things about this messy matter, as well as his daughter's various temperaments and daily habits.
Eventually, Bill felt compelled to show off his natural abilities.
And when Bill completely disappeared under the cover of night, Rubin was stunned.
There is no stronger talent than this, Bill's ability, shocking, such a silent disappearance, the most suitable for protecting people in the dark, no wonder he was chosen here, what Rubin doesn't know is that Bill's dark seed's dark mark can also be used for tracking, or guarding!
Bill also indicated his rank as a third-class soldier, which was the minimum criterion for being selected for the mission, but Rubin was more at ease.
Rubin left overnight, and Bill was in charge of seeing him off, but when Bill's esteemed father stepped into the carriage, he suddenly said something that puzzled Bill.
"I don't object to your feelings for my daughter, it's just that you must not bully her with such talent"
Bill stood stunned for a long time before he understood what Rubin meant.
But, if Lady Fiona was to embarrass him with the same sharp words as she had been, Bill certainly wouldn't mind using his talents.
