And so, another two days passed.

Jones was still busy, disgraced all day, mingling with the dwarves.

"I've barely seen the Bloods at work. At best, they are overseers, and they never do their own work. You're the only Kindred I've ever seen who has done the work themselves. ”

"That's because they're not poor enough. If they're all on the verge of bankruptcy like me, I guarantee they're harder than anyone else. ”

"Maybe. Actually, I don't think they would want to work like you even if they starved to death. Hahahaha. ”

The barrel put his arm around Jones's shoulder and laughed merrily, as did the dwarves around him. Jones sighed helplessly and smiled.

I've done more work in the past few days than Jones has done before.

Stains, the smell of sweat, dirt all over the face, but there was laughter.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, isn't it? Except that it is less and less like a Bloodline.

The Bloods were reluctant to work because they considered themselves nobles and were not proud of their labor. In particular, they have half a day in the day when they can't move. Jones is the only outlier on the verge of bankruptcy.

If the other Bloodlines were to see Jones like this, they would probably be laughed at. Jones didn't mind anyway, though. All he wants now is money, to prove that he is a great lord.

No matter what kind of work, as long as he needs him, he is willing to go. If not, go to school.

You have to admit that the role of leaders in a group is huge. When the leader himself is so industrious, his subordinates will not be lazy.

Giant Snake City is in such a state, although everything is starting from scratch, everyone is doing everything they can to run towards a common future.

"Did you send all the samples you got back from Heard?"

"It's over, and they need a little time to identify it. After all, it is something used in the military, and no one dares to take it lightly. ”

"Is there any time it will take to get results?"

"They told Dora to go again tomorrow night. ”

"Tomorrow? That's going to be soon. ”

"One more thing......"

"What's the matter?"

Dora hesitated for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Lord Jones, you have a guest here. ”

"Guest?"

......

As he entered the castle, Jones was struck to find Brutus standing in the lobby of the castle.

Yes, the so-called "guest", is Brutus.

A skeletal shelf, dressed in white, crisp priest's robes and a hat trimmed with gold. He also carried a scepter. He wears two badges on his chest, one for the Knights of the Silver Moon and the other for the Cross Skull Badge. The skeleton is in the upper left corner of the cross, and in the lower right corner, is the Silver Moon. The neckline and sleeves are crossed gold-trimmed skull totems.

I have to say that the costumes and totems of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See are very handsome, much more handsome than the original Holy See. Except that it's a little weird to wear on a skeleton.

At this moment, Brutus was facing Hydra with his back to Jones. There is also a hemp bag next to it.

Jones broke out in a cold sweat: "They won't fight, will they?"

Jones cautiously, little by little, approached.

"May I be lucky enough to know your name, this beautiful lady?"

"Of course, my name is Ophelia. Honestly, you were the first to ask me for my name. ”

"Oh, yes? Jones didn't ask?"

"Nope. After all, the name is just a symbol, and maybe he thinks the symbol 'Hydra' is enough to represent me. I'm the only one here, a hydra. ”

"No, no, no, ma'am, you're wrong. A hydra as beautiful as you should never be equated with other hydras. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. You're the most beautiful hydra I've ever seen, and I can't help but want to stay here. Just to be able to see you every day. ”

"Oh, is it? hahahaha. I would also like you to stay very much. ”

"It's a shame that I still have a great task to do. ”

"What task?"

"Conquer the dragons. I'm going to bring back the Dragonlord's crown jewel and give it to you. ”

"I love you so much. Are the lichs as likable as you?" the hydra laughed so hard that he could describe it as "trembling with flowers."

"Then again, I just happen to have another important task to complete, huh...... What is it?' ”

"What's that?"

"It's a very important task, it's about my chivalry. ”

"Oh, really? How do you do that?"

"I don't really understand this yet, but I think we can work on it together. ”

"Well, it seems that my worries are unnecessary. Jones tiptoed back so as not to disturb the "interest" of the two.

However, Ophelia Hydra had already noticed him, and soon, Brutus also noticed Jones following Hydra's gaze.

"Hey, Jones!"

Jones was so frightened that he quickly stopped, turned around in a daze, and smiled hard: "Hi Brutus, long time no see." ”

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Wait, what am I looking for by you?" Brutus took off his hat and touched his bare head, "Oh, I remember! You sued Gray, didn't you?"

"No, it's not me!" Jones ran away in fright.

However, Brutus had already raised his scepter. A black magic burst out in an instant, wrapped around Jones's feet, and dragged him back.

Dora was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.

"It's really not me!" Jones screamed as he hung upside down.

"Mr. Brutus, I don't want you to hurt my little bat. Because he is a hard-working and motivated little bat. Maybe a great lord. One of Hydra's heads circled around Brutus.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm just talking to him about something. So saying, Brutus bent down, staggered past the hydra, came to Jones, and struck Jones's head with the scepter in his hand, which was hanging upside down: "Tell me, did you sue Gray? ”

Helpless, Jones had to change his words and say, "Okay, it's me...... But that's because I can't do what you're asking for. ”

Brutus then broke free of the magic, and Jones fell to the ground with a heavy blow.

"I knew it was you!" Brutus's face jerked towards him, viciously, the soul fire burning in his eyes.

Jones was so frightened that he craned his neck to speak.

Dora in the distance was shocked into a cold sweat.

"I'll write it down first. After a while, the angry Brutus retracted his head, turned his face to the Hydra on the side, and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, there is no intention of hurting him." I'm just talking to him. ”

He stepped aside and picked open the sack with his scepter, and a large pile of gold coins came out of the sack.

"Here's 20,000 gold coins. ”

Jones, who was still scared a moment ago, looked at the gold coin at this moment and was stunned.

"Two ...... 20,000 gold coins?"

"Help me build armor. Not...... And weapons. I don't know how much a set of armor costs, but I can make as many as I can anyway. You should know the armor style of the Silver Moon Knights best. As he spoke, Brutus muttered to himself, "I really don't understand why the Bloods, Dragons, and Humans are so obsessed with these useless metals. ”

Dora, who was standing in the doorway, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you have to look at the samples first?" Jones asked.

"Sample?" Brutus waved his hand, "No, it's the Knights of the Silver Moon-style armor anyway." The most important thing is to look good. ”

"But didn't you say you don't have any money, why do you have so much money?"

"Well, lich, you know. Killed a dragon with Simon last night. That's about it. Honestly, that's probably the poorest dragon I've ever seen, and I thought we'd get a hundred thousand gold coins back. It just so happened that our relationship with the dragons was in a stalemate, and for good reason. So these armors count half as Simon and me. ”

Well, the most profitable business in the world is indeed robbery. As long as you are strong enough, you can be rich enough.

"Inform me when it's ready, I'll pick it up myself. With that, Brutus had returned to Hydra, bent slightly, and stretched out a hand.

The hydra "gracefully" stretched out its tail.

Holding the tail of the hydra, Brutus gently touched it with his front teeth and kissed it lightly: "Ma'am, I have other things to do, but I will be back to see you soon." Help me urge this little guy, after all, I want to come and see you sooner. ”

"Yes, my gentleman. Oh hehehe. ”

"It's time for me to go. Brutus raised his scepter, tore open a gap in space, and stepped inside.

The gap in the space is closed.

The hydra's nine heads tilted and smiled, looking at the ground that was already empty.

Before Jones could come to his senses, the gap opened again, and Brutus stuck a head out of it: "Ma'am, I can't help but want to see you again." Let me remember what you look like so that I can miss you. ”

Hydra laughed even better: "Hehehehe, Jones, you never told me you had such a funny and humorous friend. ”

"It's also very likable. ”

"It's a very gentleman, it's unlike any lich I've ever seen before. I've barely seen a lich though. ”

"Maybe you should build him a house here so he can come on vacation. ”

Brutus reluctantly retracted his head into the door of space.

Jones and Dora, who were on the side, were stunned for a while, really dumbfounded.

God knows what happened during Jones' absence, turning a lich like this?

The Lich flirts with the Hydra, and Jones is a long sight to see today.

But who cares? Suddenly there are two more customers who are not very picky, and there is nothing wrong with that.

When he was completely sure that Brutus was gone, Jones cheered with the coin, and rolled on it.

"Dora, this is the first money we make! The first money! Father can't say I won't make money anymore!"

Dora stood in the doorway smiling and watching.

A handful of handfuls, "lala", real gold coins scattered all over the ground, golden.

"Congratulations, little bat. Hydra said with a smile.

Jones' excitement is beyond words.

Is this the light of day?

The first money earned in the territory is a good start. Jones couldn't wait to tell Adair the good news.

After a little tidying, he was ready to go to Hilde to place an order. Although the contract for Sambo's blacksmith shop has not yet been completed, at least it is possible to place an order. Meet the needs of the first customers first, and then move forward.

And this first customer can still pick up the goods themselves, which means that a lot of shipping costs can be saved.

However, Jones soon found it unrealistic to go to Adair with the gold coins. Twenty thousand gold coins, that's more than three hundred kilograms, with this thing, Jones didn't want to arrive in Heard before dawn, let alone go back and forth.

"It's okay, leave the money in the castle first. When they bring the things from the refinery, they will ship them back by the way. ”

With that, Jones left the gold for Dora, took his armor, and flew alone in the direction of Hilde.

Along the way, Jones was as happy as a happy bird, fluttering up and down and laughing for no reason. The animals on the ground looked at him in horror.

"I didn't expect the first person to place an order would be Brutus, oh yes, and Simon. Will the other lichs place orders? I think so. Hahahaha, then I'll be rich! If each Lich is 10,000 gold coins, the original Lich Council alone can have a turnover of 4 million gold coins. Although there may not be so many dragons to make them rob. Still, they should always be able to figure it out!"

At this moment, it seemed to Jones that the goal of becoming a great lord was close at hand.

With a wave of enthusiasm, he crossed the long distance from Serpent City to Heard as fast as he could, and came to Adair.

"Adair, I've already received the first order!Twenty thousand gold coins from the White Bone Holy Light Holy See are already in my castle, it's too heavy for me to bring here!" Jones was stunned for a moment after rushing into Adair's room.

For he noticed that Adair seemed to be a little haggard.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No? Adair, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly combed his falling hair, smiled, and said, "Great, first order." That's the good news. ”

"My armor has been handed over to the butler, and it will be made according to that pattern. But for adults. ”

"Well, okay. I know. ”

The room was silent, and Adair and Jones looked at each other silently. Something seemed wrong with the atmosphere.

"Did something happen?" Jones frowned, staring at Adair.

"No, nothing?" Adair quickly denied, "It's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

Saying this, Jones was even more puzzled. I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only stand and stare at Adair blankly.

After a while, Adair whispered, "Jones, I'll get things done." Will you go back today?"

Helpless, Jones could only nod: "Okay, then I'll go back first." ”

"I'm sorry. Adair squeezed out a smile again.

Led by the butler, Jones left Adair's room.

After sending Jones away, the butler hurried back to Adair, bowed slightly, and said, "Young master, what should we do? But we couldn't find the four missing people. ”

"Buy four Blood Clan slaves and give them back. ”

"Those four are not slaves, they are free people. ”

"Then give them money. ”

"They don't want money. ”

"How can you not want money?" Adele was a little frizzy, "What about Adolf? ”

The housekeeper said helplessly: "No, they don't even believe that there is such a ......"

"Then tell me what to do?"

"I'm afraid I can only ...... We had to find a way to find Adolf and figure out the situation. If four people are already dead, then we can only hand over Adolf to them. Otherwise, the incident will not be settled. ”
