7. Partners

Red Snake is not silent at night. Many small vendors set up food stalls on the side of the road, and the hot fragrance rushed into Zhao Yuan's nose, and he couldn't control his saliva when he wasn't hungry.

The couple also heard the rumbling sound of the Terran stomach behind them, and immediately smiled, and ordered the servants to rush home first to inform the people to prepare food.

From the city gate to the house of Monroe and his wife, many people also "smelled" Zhao Yuan along the way: "Why did Lord Monroe bring a stinky guy?"

"Oh my God, he looks so dirty, it stinks worse than the Hao people!"

"Shhh ”

Since he could not gallop on the streets, he walked for more than half an hour from the city gate to Monroe's house. Zhao Yuan's eyes that had been tormented by gluttonous insects flashed green. finally arrived, but Zhao Yuan was shocked by the mansion that Monroe said was "not delicate but still comfortable". Among the relatively primitive houses around, the Monroe house is simply beautiful. Compared with the mansion that Zhao Yuan lived in before, it is not inferior in any way, and it is even much larger in terms of floor area.

The rococo style of architecture makes the mansion look quaint and atmospheric, but the utensils inside are very elaborate and ornate, and - no use is discernible. Zhao Yeren was suddenly in awe, he was taken in by the local tyrants, and it seems that there will be a good life in the future.

As soon as he entered the house, a docile orc maid immediately took Zhao Yuan to the bathroom. After Zhao Yuan said that there was no need for someone to serve, the maids also withdrew from the bathroom, leaving Zhao Yuan with a space to take a bath. Zhao Yuan immediately couldn't wait to pull off the armor on his body and jump into the bath that was about the size of an indoor swimming pool. The water in the bath is pale milky white, and the mist exudes a faint fragrance. Zhao Yuan went, and instantly a circle of gray with him as the center in the pool, fortunately, this pool is constantly changing living water, otherwise this pool of water may not be able to wash Zhao Yuan at all.

After taking a bath, Zhao Yuan changed into clean clothes placed next to the pool and followed the orc maid to the restaurant. As soon as he entered the restaurant, Zhao Yuan looked straight at the table of sumptuous and tempting delicacies, and there was no room for anything else in his eyes. Fortunately, he still had some etiquette, and hurriedly exchanged a few words with Monroe and his wife, and then sat down and ate his head.

Although Zhao Yuan didn't know what these dishes were made of, the taste was exactly the same. And carefully the hostess took into account that Zhao Yuan was a Terran, and specially referred to the tastes of the Terrans, spicy, sweet, sour, light and heavy, and made some of them, which made Zhao Yuan very happy.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yuan finally swallowed the last bite of meat with difficulty, spread out on the seat and patted his bulging stomach, and burped with great satisfaction. Muss couldn't help but be amused by him. Mu Si, who became a mother, looked at Zhao Yuan's eyes full of love, and she thought that it would be good if her children could be as carefree, kind and strong as Zhao Yuan in the future.

After arranging for Zhao Yuan to go to the guest room to sleep, Mu Si brought up the topic to her husband again: "Monroe, I know that you have paid a lot over the years to have such a big family business for us, but I have promised Zhao Yuan before, as long as he is willing to save you, I am willing to give him all our family property." ”

"But what about you and your children without our possessions? Now that Lambert guy is still staring at us, and other enemies, do you want us to hide in Tibet for the rest of our lives? Do you want our little Ike to grow up on thin milk?" replied Monroe impatiently.

"But if you die just now, our property will not be saved, and my children and I will not only have to hide in Tibet for the rest of our lives, but we will also lose our husband and father!" "And Zhao Yuan is not the kind of ruthless human race, we can be loyal to him, help him manage this part of the property, and be his solid financial backing, while we can still continue to live a rich life. ”

"How do you know that he is not as cunning as those Terrans? Why did he just appear in front of us and save my life? Moreover, the Terrans of Demon and Martial Arts Dual Cultivation are so strange, he is not normal at all. Monroe had a common problem with the wolf race, and he didn't trust anyone but his own kind, especially the Terrans, a notoriously cunning and greedy race on the five continents.

Mu Si also saw her husband's psychology, she took a deep breath, and said in a slow tone: "No matter what, Monroe, he saved your life after all." And you also know that he is a fifth-order martial artist, just like you, as for the mage level, I can't be sure, but it must be a sixth-order and above. If you anger him, do you think our family will still be alive?"

When Monroe heard this, he couldn't help but be a little shaken. Although he was grateful to the Terran for saving his life, he hated the Terran in his bones, feared the Terran, and was unwilling to give him all the property he had built up for, let alone allegiance. And what his wife said is also very reasonable, this human race is very likely to be a high-level mage, and because of the scarcity of mages in the Cold Beast Continent, basically all races and special Warcraft have no spell defense, and various professions rarely study the skills of restraining mages. And the only feasible close assassination was also lost because this human race was a fifth-order martial artist. So, it was only possible for this Terran to kill them, and there was little chance that they would be able to kill this Terran. If they really angered Zhao Yuan, they must have no good fruit to eat.

Sighing, Monroe was still reluctant to compromise: "Moose, you're right. Tomorrow when he wakes up, we will show him allegiance. I hope he's really a good Terran as you say. ”

Mu Si hugged her husband gently, she knew that her husband had been deceived by the Terrans when he was young, so he was particularly disgusted with the Terrans, and this time his compromise was also for the future of the whole family.

Zhao Yuan, who didn't know anything about all this, didn't know that he was going to transform from Zhao Savage to Zhao Dashao again. Exhausted, he had no dreams all night on the thick, soft bed.

Early the next morning, the Monroe couple were already waiting for Zhao Yuan's arrival in the restaurant. Zhao Yuan came to breakfast with joy, but Mu Si's words almost made him squirt out the meat filling in his mouth.

"Lord Zhao Yuan, you will be our master in the future, and the property of Monroe and Musi will belong to you, I hope you can kindly let us help take care of it and give us an asset to raise our children. ”

Zhao Yuan's eyes widened: "You, you, what are you talking about?" Zhao Yuan made Mu Si want to laugh again. But she still remembers that today is a very important day, so her expression is still serious.

"I promised you before, if you are willing to save my husband, I am willing to give the whole family property with both hands. But we have a lot of enemies in our family, and we have a newborn baby to raise, so we want to be loyal to you, and hope that you will provide us with shelter and be kind enough to continue to live a prosperous life. ”

Mu Si's words had been made clear, but Zhao Yuan still hadn't turned a corner. Although he is indeed a good young man shining in the light of socialism in the 21st century, he has never seen such a good person. When he used to work in his parents' company, he had seen a lot of intrigue in the office, as well as the intrigue between his parents and business rivals. It can be said that it is really a battlefield without gunpowder. This is also a lesson that Zhao's father and Zhao's mother taught him - don't blindly think that everyone in the world is good.

But what did these two wolf orcs do? Yesterday's polite words were forgotten, how embarrassing it is to take it seriously!

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a while, and then began to hurriedly wave his hand: "No, no, no, I just saved your husband by the way, and I didn't want you to repay the favor." If you really want to repay me, be a guide for me, and give me some money. After all, this is your orc continent, and I will still go to the human continent after a while. ”

This time, it was Monroe's turn and Moose to be shocked - how could there be such a stupid Terran, is this really a Terran? I'm afraid it's not a guy who hides his tail from the pig clan, how can he have the allegiance and wealth sent to the door.

But in this way, Monroe has completely lost his previous unwillingness and suspicion. The wife's words are right. This Terran is really kind-hearted, unlike other cunning and sinister Terrans. And his strength is very strong, and it would not have been a loss for him to be loyal to him.

So he also spoke: "Lord Zhao Yuan, we are sincerely loyal to you, you don't have to feel hesitant. From today onwards, Moose and I will fight for you, and our property will belong to you, and we can follow you if you are going elsewhere in the future. ”

Zhao Yuan was even more reluctant, he still wanted to travel home, what was going on with a family of three? And he didn't grow up in such an environment, and he couldn't accept this kind of behavior of allegiance at all.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Monroe, that I believe that every human being is a free individual and should not be a vassal of others. If you really want to repay me, we can be partners who trust each other. I really don't need someone to be loyal and treat me as a master. This time, Zhao Yuan was not ambiguous at all, looking directly at Monroe, expressing his inner resoluteness.

Monroe and Moose looked at each other, helpless. They actually didn't fall asleep last night, tossing and turning about everything in the future, thinking about whether it was good or bad to be loyal to Zhao Yuan, the master, but they didn't think about the possibility that Zhao Yuan would not accept their allegiance.

However, Mu Si is better at observing people, and she learned that Zhao Yuan has always been a straightforward and fast-talking character, so she thought for a while and said: "In this case, I, Mu Si Edric, and you, Zhao Yuan, have made a permanent friendly contract. In the future, we will all be partners who have the same heart and will never betray. ”
