Thank you for your continued support, but it will probably take a while for this book to be updated like it is not...... ORZ: "This Lord Larry is the lord of a bustling town in the South, and he has something to ask...... Ask you for advice. The human guard looked at the half-elf with a dodgy look, just because he didn't know what tone to use to keep the mysterious man in front of him, who was in control of his own life and visibly impatient, in a good mood.

There were very few guards who treated the prisoners with respect, at least André felt that he was not so famous as the guards who guarded him to be respectful to him, beyond the so-called curse he had just fabricated. Who would have thought that the "half-elves" sitting in the corner of this gloomy room were the children of the abyss who ruled the new power "Demons" in the east of the wasteland?

It seems that the cursed lie has not been debunked, but the children of the abyss have no impression of the fat man named Larry in front of him at all, and what can a strange human town lord do to "ask" the half-elf prisoner he has never met?

Although the slightly rich Larry has been labeled as a fat man by the children of the abyss, his figure is still far from those rich people who are full of fat intestines, but this "lord" with a round face and oily hair has begun to fade prematurely, even if he wears exquisite fancy clothes, his image is not much praiseworthy. It is completely incomparable to the human girl in the cage at the other end who only wears a simple bright dress but is charming.

The fat man glanced at the human girl in the room again and again, as if he was a little surprised by the beauty of the other party's dim light, and then waved his hand at the guard behind him who was leading the way, signaling him to stay outside the room and wait. The latter left a "Please call for something" and quickly exited the room as if it were an amnesty, hoping only that Lord Larry would not touch the moldy head of the mysterious half-elf like he did. Otherwise, the reward that he finally won in private is likely to be wasted, and it is more likely that something will cause trouble and alarm the steward above.

I had already reminded Mr. Larry more than once that the seemingly delicate half-elf in the cage was not an ordinary person, but I hope he had understood what he meant...... The self-absorbed guards stood outside the room, thinking wildly, listening to the movements in the cell.

"I don't know what I should call you, sir?" didn't quite match the slightly comical image of Fat Larry, but the town lord, who must have been much higher than the guards, seemed polite, his tone serious and cautious.

Andre swallowed the bread paste in his mouth without any manners, and looked at the "Lord Lord" in front of him again, and then spit out a disgraceful sentence with a nonchalant face: "Do I know you?"

The polite smile was so embarrassing on the fat man's face for a moment, but after a moment, it turned into a more sincere and warm smile.

"Sir, of course, you don't know me, but I had such a feeling at the first sight of him...... You may well be the person I've been looking for!" The fat man's eyes were excited and slightly fanatical.

If a beautiful girl said such things to herself with such an expression and tone, the son of the abyss might be a little complacent, but when he saw the obscene fat man standing in front of him, his disgusted expression was undisguised all over Andrei's face.

"I don't have any interest in men!" Inexplicably, Andre suddenly felt that he had said this no less than three times today, could it be that the status of a prisoner made him nervous?

Larry was stunned by the Abyssal Son's solemn statement of his orientation, and it took only a blink of an eye for the fat, thoughtful man to realize what the half-elf he valued was talking about. The face-to-face conversation made Larry doubt his previous judgment, maybe the half-elf was not the right person as he thought, but when he thought that he had just spent a few silver coins to buy the guards to come in and try his luck, Larry felt that even if things didn't go as smoothly as he thought, his loss was nothing more than that. He didn't expect much, but he still felt that the half-elves in the prison cart talking about slaves in the street were very different.

Correcting his mentality, the middle-aged fat lord became more and more cautious. He bowed to André with a careful gesture, though the graceful movements of the forest elves and then from the half-elves to the human city-states looked a little squirming on the slightly bloated fat man.

"In order not to disturb your rest too much, I won't beat around the bush anymore. In fact, I am only the leader of a barren village, the real owner of the territory, my young nephew, who is only eleven years old this year. In order that the realm would not become more and more dilapidated in my hands, and that the glory of the surname Barton should be maintained, I hoped to hire a learned teacher for my nephew who was well versed in aristocratic etiquette. ”

After briefly introducing his intentions, the fat man Larry stared at the half-elf in the cage a little nervously, the situation he and his nephew faced was naturally not explained in these two sentences, but he did not hide his thoughts in the slightest.

However, Andrei's overly cold reaction made the middle-aged human's heart sink, not only the children of the abyss, but even the orc girls next door felt that there was something wrong with this human's statement.

"The story of a small town lord running to a slave market to pick a teacher for his nephew is quite bizarre even in my professional sense. Andrei was unmoved to express his feelings, and teased himself as a "bard", who knows if this guy in front of him is a "colleague" invited by slave traders to act in order to obtain information?

As the Children of the Abyss said, choosing a teacher among slaves for a future lord feels abnormal no matter how you think about it. Leaving aside the question of face that most nobles cared about, most of the slaves captured by the slave catchers came from the barren and barbaric wastelands of the human city-states, and in general, the choice of teachers among the city-states was broader than that of the slaves.

"There's really nothing to hide...... Due to the barren territory and its location, the current situation of the village has become untenable. Because of financial constraints and the fact that the young surname of Patton has not been accepted by the old nobles, a man of uninformed and lowly origins like me can only make this decision if he wants to leave a solid foundation for his nephew's domain, hoping that he will be able to find such a down-and-out noble person in such a lowly place......"

"And then, by chance, you hit me so naturally after you saw me?"

There was mockery in the tone of the Children of the Abyss. Although the other party has been very sincere in exposing his shortcomings, and these reasons seem to make sense, Andre still feels that the appearance of this fat man is too much of a coincidence.

The ridicule and suspicion were expected by Larry, who had already been scorned and ridiculed when he had been running from town to town to hire a teacher for his nephew, as he had imagined before, even if he had fallen into trouble, those noble-born people were still not something he could impress with a few words. If the half-elf in front of him, who gave people a pampered feeling just from the color of his skin, was too busy to agree at the beginning, he would have doubts about the other party's true intentions.

"Actually, my original target was not you, sir. Larry sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked to the cage next to the orc girls and saluted the human girl who had been silent and silent, "Gui'an, honorable Miss Androni Augustine. ”

Then the human girl who suddenly received this salute didn't seem to have much surprise, she returned the salute to the fat man who claimed to be the leader, and then said calmly: "You don't need to be polite. The Augustine family never really recognized me as a person, and although I did have half Augustine blood in my body, and I was grateful for the care of the few people in the indifferent family who had no conscience, it was an indisputable fact that I did not have my own surname as a man of humble birth. For Augustine's glory, they would not have allowed their 'own' daughter to be in such a place!"

The resentment in the human girl's tone can be heard by anyone, but the fat man Larry can only smile bitterly when facing this "original target candidate". Born as a commoner, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of shady family struggle would have brought such a charming girl to this place, and it stands to reason that such a good-looking girl, even if her background was not glamorous, but her own conditions were enough to make the nobles who the Augustine family wanted to win over, and such a beauty sent to the slave market gave people a sense of tyranny...... It seems that the news of the change of power in the northern Quisha Fort is not unfounded.

It's just that I pity the girl in front of me, such an outstanding beauty should have been pitied by her husband in the palm of her hand...... When Larry first heard that the bastard daughter of the Augustine family would be auctioned off at the town's venue, he thought that the praise of Androni's appearance was just rhetoric, just to attract the nouveau riche who had no background, but who were rich and had resentment and delusions about the old aristocracy. When he heard that Androni's starting price was 500 gold coins, he was still smacking his tongue, and secretly sighed that the boss behind the venue would really make money from his head. But when he saw Androni's outstanding appearance with his own eyes, he realized that even if he could raise thousands or even thousands of gold coins to win the ownership of the beauty, his ridiculous power alone would not be able to maintain such a stunning appearance, and it was even more likely to bring destruction to his nephew's weak territory!

Although there is no such incisive word as "red face and trouble" in the lingua franca, Larry still understands the similar truth, and the value of the girl in front of him, who is still polite, neither humble nor arrogant, although she is already in the mud, has long exceeded her status as a well-educated aristocratic child. She was a woman first, and then an illegitimate child of Augustinian blood, whose noble blood only added a touch of magnificence to her charm. The fat man, who has self-knowledge, has long understood that there is nothing more than a simple meeting and conversation between such a person and him.

"I'm so sorry that I can't afford to give refuge to someone as wonderful as you, Miss...... May you find a happy home tomorrow after, and may the light of Errera protect you. ”

The "goods" on the auction house are naturally the ones who pay the highest price, and a buyer with a lot of money, a certain amount of strength, and genuine pity for the girl is too illusory, and the fat man's wishes, although from the bottom of his heart, even he himself feels that such expectations are unrealistic.

The girl smiled faintly, as if she was facing a hopeful tomorrow, her fair face shining in the dim light like a white chalcedony from the Misty Mountains, "Thank you for your blessings, and the radiance of Errera also shelters people like you with compassion." ”

Andre watched the seemingly polite conversation between the two and kept silent, until the two of them mentioned the name of the sun god Everrera when they blessed each other, and his eyes flashed as if he suddenly thought of something, "So she is the teacher you originally wanted to hire?"

"Yes, sir. Originally, I thought that the compliments about Miss Androni's appearance were nothing more than the fact that people had seen them falsely, and only after witnessing them did I realize that the people's praise was not false, and that my small domain could not afford to provide shelter for such an outstanding teacher. If you don't dislike the barrenness of the territory, I am willing to go all out in tomorrow's bidding and promise to treat you with the courtesy of the teacher!"

"Although most of you humans live under the light of the faith of the Sun God, but most of the people in the east, including the wasteland, regard the teachings of the Earth Goddess as a rule of life, and although I am not a pure-bred elf, I am also under the repeated protection of the Goddess of Mercy, and if you are willing to swear in the name of the goddess Garlandia, I am not unable to seriously consider the matter of teaching your nephew. ”

The wolf girl in the cage next to Andrei looked at the child of the abyss with a surprised face, the previous half-elf's method of intimidating the guards had made her understand that this guy was by no means as simple as it seemed, at this time he actually proposed to let the other party make a promise in the name of the gods, is there any unknown conspiracy in this!?Or is this human in front of him the "target" he mentioned before!? But according to the fat man himself, he is just the owner of a small village, but he is just a girl next door who does not dare to watch. Insignificant little people.

Furthermore, how could a mortal be able to play a conspiracy and deceive others in the presence of the gods!? Or was the half-elf talking nonsense when he mentioned his belief in the goddess of the earth!?

Just when the girls in the cell didn't understand what the half-elf called "Mephistopheles" was thinking, the Child of the Abyss calmly continued, "But first you have to agree to my request......
