Chapter 293: Σ( ° △ °|||)
For the next two days, Su Wen was not happy.
It's not because of Gollistan's business, since Su Wen has decided on her business, she won't twist and pinch it.
It's because, until the recruitment publicity period has passed, the agreed departure time is about to be reached, not to mention the five places originally expected, Su Wen has not even been able to find a second recruit who satisfies him.
This feeling is like a limited-time up gacha.,And then plan to change your fate with great kryptonite.,As a result, except for the first day of character eruption of an SSR.,The rest of the time is all a large collection of N cards and R cards.,There's not even an SR in it.,How can people feel comfortable?
Therefore, in addition to lamenting his African ancestry, Su Wen also felt that the world was becoming less and less ancient. Victoria, a large mercenary country with a population of nearly one million, can't even find a second candidate who meets the conditions a little, which shows how rare the heart of service is in people's hearts now, and this kind of person with a heart of gold may be on the verge of extinction.
"Obviously, Dad, your requirements are too high, right, you want an excellent maid, and you have to have the combat power of a gold-level mercenary or above, why don't you go to heaven. The most important thing is that you have to be wild, if you really want such a bullish maid, you already have a master, either serving a powerful magician or serving the nobles of the palace, where is your turn to pick up the leaks? Being able to meet a maid-turned-Aunt Betty is already your shit luck, but seriously, she looks ten years older than you, and there really won't be a generation gap when you communicate?"
"Presumptuous, you have to call her Miss Betty, a good maid is always young. ”
"Dad, you're hopeless!"
Su Wen completely ignored Xiao Shi's complaints, and said to himself: "Should I go to Gareman City in the south to recruit again, although the time is not allowed, but I always feel unwilling......"
"Don't even think about it! Xiao Shi doesn't have time to accompany his father to do such a boring thing, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." ”
"Don't get excited, I mean, I can still tell the priorities of things. Su Wen waved his hand and said, "But in this way, there are not enough people, and the purpose of coming to Victoria has not been achieved at all." If there is only an adventure group of four people, it will not look a little too shabby, and the key is that one of them eats white rice, so I can't count on it at all. ”
Xiao Shi pouted: "It's not all your strange request." And by the way, you look down on Sister Goristan too much, she is very serious about everything she does, and she belongs to the kind of person who can rest assured that she will hand over her back."
"No, no, you're mistaken, it's not Gollistan who eats rice, it's you. It's only been less than four days since you came and you ate my 3,000 gold coins, you're a pig!"
"I'm going to bite you?!"
......
No matter how much you talk about it, it can't change the facts, the next morning came quickly, at seven o'clock in the morning, the door of the room was knocked on time, and Su Wen, who yawned, opened the door, only to see Ms. Betty, who was neatly dressed and ready to go, standing outside the door with a smile and a groan.
"Good morning, honorable Lord Suwen, the magician Betty reports to you that I am ready to be sent at any time. ”
It is exactly the same as the agreed time, accurate to the second.
Su Wen's face remained unchanged, but he secretly admired in his heart, worthy of being a professional-level maid he fancied, her serious attitude was clear from the details alone, and her speech and demeanor were also like a spring breeze. On the other hand, the slime in the room behind him who was shouted by himself three or four times and still fell asleep on the bed, he couldn't hold up the wall with mud, and the high-ranking knight who could calculate the time of being late and deduct his salary from now on, put on a slack attitude on the first day of work, and he couldn't match it at all.
For such a talent, Su Wen will naturally give courtesy.
"Please come in, please come in, you're welcome, please take care of me in the future. ”
It's just that as soon as she entered the living room, Betty's eyes sharpened slightly. Her attention fell on Xiao Shi's half-hidden bedroom, only to see that the packages of snacks and drinks were piled up, piles of dirty clothes were scattered everywhere, and the bed was full of unopened snacks, leaving only a small position in the middle that could accommodate one person to lie down, and it looked like a whole mosaic atlas from a distance.
Although Betty restrained her emotions well, the abnormality at that moment was still noticed by Su Wen, he shrugged helplessly, and said to her: "I'm really sorry to let you see this, it's my poor discipline, but this is just last night's production, I ordered it to be thrown out earlier, I didn't expect it to become like this in just half a day......"
Betty hesitated, "May I ask if this is yours?"
"Daughter. ”
"Ah......h But this answer did seem to be more acceptable, her expression softened a little, and said to Su Wen: "You are really hard, if you don't mind, when Ling Yuan gets up, let me clean up the room a little." ”
Su Wen had a headache and said: "Forget it, anyway, we will leave in a while, and when we check out, someone will naturally come to clean up." ”
"No, an adult like you, and that lovely young lady, shouldn't be in such an environment for a second - it's not your fault, of course, it's just a pity I didn't get there sooner. Now that I see it, I can't sit idly by, and rest assured, my lord, that I'll keep everything in order, at least for the rest of your time. ”
When these words came to Su Wen's heart, his expression lit up: "It seems that you already know the reason why I chose you?"
Betty blushed and nodded: "At first, I also wondered why the adults chose me when there were so many excellent mercenaries who came to apply, because in terms of the difference from others, I only had the experience of being an earl's butler in the past, and this experience is really not worth mentioning in the mercenaries." But then I gradually figured out that people who can arbitrarily issue such commissions must not really lack people like us as combat effectiveness, on the contrary, it is possible that they have taken a fancy to other factors, and the reason why they are recruited from high-level mercenaries is just so that the strength of the selected people will not be too slow, so that all problems will be solved. Today, it seems that Lord Su Wen really has this intention, right?"
“......”
Su Wen was speechless with excitement until he took two steps forward and grabbed Betty's slightly rough hand.
"Bosom friend!"
Because it was too close, Betty instinctively pushed outward: "Big, big and big are too famous, please ......"
"Ah sorry, I lost my temper. Su Wen coughed a few times and said, "You don't have to call me Lord, just call me by my name." Actually, what you said is not entirely true, your combat effectiveness is also crucial, and this adventure does have important tasks to be handed over to you. As you can see, we're short on manpower right now, so it might be a bit hard to get you along the way. ”
"Yes, sir!"
Betty asked, "How many of us there are?"
"Well, there are four people here now, and a knight named Goristan, she's really slow to come. ”
"Got it, I'll try to come in handy. ”
————
In order to cooperate with Betty's clean-up work, Su Wen gave Xiao Shi an ultimatum to get up, and after no result, he picked her up and threw her into the living room. In the next hour, the former senior housekeeper showed amazing execution, not only was all the garbage packed and placed outside the door, the room was cleaned and cleaned, even Su Wen's room and the meeting room were cleaned, and the whole room seemed to be restored to the appearance when she first came in a few days ago, and it was even cleaner than that time.
During the whole process, Su Wen watched with great relief from the side, and his whole person was immersed in happiness, even though Betty was wearing a light armor liner instead of a maid outfit, he still seemed to see an angel.
This must be a gift from heaven to oneself.
However, when it was all over and it was past eight o'clock, Golistan still hadn't appeared.
"What's wrong with this man?"
Su Wen frowned, in his impression, Goristan didn't look like such an unpunctual person, could it be......
"Xiao Shi, did you see Gollistan last night?"
He asked with a frown.
"Of course, I watched her walk into the hotel. Xiao Shi also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and quickly closed her eyes, as if she had entered a fugue state, and it took a long time for her to suddenly open her eyes.
"Oops!"
"How?"
Xiao Shi's whole person panicked, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, he became sweaty and shivering in just a few seconds.
"Sister Goristan she...... It seems to be dead. ”
“!?”
