Chapter 25 Be My Entourage~
"I'm sorry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ info" The teenager apologized for his fierce words.
"No, you're right, I don't have enough money, I heard that a new dungeon has appeared near Ryan, so I came here to try my luck and try my luck to earn enough tuition and travel expenses before the new semester starts at the Saint Laurent Brothers School of Magic. Lolo said in disappointment.
"I see. Kenneth suddenly realized, "But why did you lend this money to old Rex when it was so important to you?"
"Well, because the uncle said he had a way to help me double the money. โ
This is true, it is possible to multiply ten times and a hundred times in the casino, but the vast majority of people will lose their money. โ
The captain of the guard scratched his head, "It's a little difficult to handle now, old Rex shouldn't be returning to Ryan in the near future." โ
"Then I'm not going to wait any longer. Luo Luo immediately decided, she turned her head to look at Rob on the side, " I know it might be unfair to you to say that, and I wouldn't have made such an excessive request in normal times, but I just contacted an expedition team not long ago, and the captain stipulated that each adventurer should bring one or two retinues, whose main duty is to carry supplies and provide logistical support for the expedition, I would have liked to go to the free market to buy a slave before I set off, but as you can see, I can't afford to pay this money now, so if you are willing to be my temporary entourage and help me complete this expedition, no matter what the outcome of this expedition, the debt between us can be written offใ โ
The boy fell silent when he heard this.
In comparison, the status of the retinue was undoubtedly much higher than that of the slave, and the retinue only had to swear allegiance to someone, without having to give up their personal and financial freedom, and was not bought and sold like a slave, while still being protected by the loyalty.
Therefore, for ordinary civilian families, even many small and medium-sized nobles hope that their children can become the retinue of a certain lord, in addition to ensuring that they have no worries about food and clothing, it is possible to go further in the future, and it is not impossible to even become a nobleman and get a fief.
For example, the ancestors of many great lords of the Lionheart Empire were once retinues of Lehart I, following His Majesty the Emperor to fight in the north and south, expanding the territory, and when the empire was established, the general trend was decided, and Lehart I gave them a large number of rewards, making them become imperial magnates.
The old emperor's move naturally also has the meaning of supporting his cronies and weakening several big nobles, and it is impossible for the emperor to rely on only one body of martial arts, and basic political means are also necessary. Recently, there have been rumors that His Majesty the current Emperor has begun to turn around and support several famous families with a long history because he is dissatisfied with the continuous expansion of the families of several founding fathers, but now that it is an era of peace, it is much more difficult for commoners to get out of this road.
With Rob's current identity and status, let alone an ordinary nobleman, even Lehart VII would not dare to let him be his entourage, let alone Luo Luo, a three-no-no brave man who wants money, no money, status, no status, and no chest.
However, after a brief silence, the future Ultra Magister actually agreed to the girl's ridiculous-sounding proposal, "Okay, when are we leaving?"
Lolo was overjoyed, she had just lost a large sum of money not long ago, and she had pinned all her hopes of earning tuition on this expedition, and if she wanted to get into the Saint Laurent Brothers School of Magic, she would have to scavenge enough loot in the dungeons, and all this was based on her ability to have an entourage.
"Great, don't worry, I'll be out of debt for you when this expedition is over. โ
Rob nodded, noncommittal.
The teenager finally made this unexpected choice, not because of a whim, or pure nonsense, but after some careful consideration.
The reason why he agreed to Luo Luo was for two reasons, firstly, this accident made the future Super Magister realize the importance of money, and he couldn't really rob the garrison, if he wanted to make money as quickly as possible without revealing his identity, he could only set his sights on the dungeon of the Endless Sea of Trees.
Although the degree of reclamation of this dungeon is really a bit unsightly (with Rob's strength and vision, usually a dungeon will not have anything that he may be interested in until it reaches the seventh floor), but now that he is poor and about to be captured as a slave, it is obviously no longer suitable to put on a master's shelf.
No matter how little wool there is, you have to pick it up~ Rob has already made up his mind to go to the dungeon to sweep some valuable things, and when the time comes, whether Luo Luo will keep his promise or not, he will have the ability to pay off his debts, and the future Super Magister will still prefer to take his fate into his own hands.
Since the girl also has a plan in this regard, then he can just use the identity of his entourage to mix in the team justifiably, and minimize the attention of others to him, after all, hiding his identity is the most important thing for him at this stage, and in a dangerous place like a dungeon, the lone wanderer is certainly synonymous with strength, but it is also really a bit eye-catching.
In addition, whether he wants to admit it or not, Rob still feels a little guilty about Luo Luo in his heart.
The girl's school money was cheated away by her father, although it was not his fault, but the boy felt that he should help her in all his senses, and this time he went to the dungeon with her, secretly protected her a little, so that she could successfully make up for the tuition, and then the two parted ways, which can be regarded as making up for the losses caused to her before.
Having said that, being cheated out of all the money by an uncle you don't know is an out-and-out fool in any way!
Although Rob has no common sense, he also knows that daring to go to the dungeon to pan for gold at this level is purely giving away people's heads.
In a dungeon, it's not just monsters and traps that can bring danger, but also other adventurers.
Yes, man, will always be the most dangerous existence in this world.
Far from the dark and deep underground of the civilized world, the law and morality are starting to become shaky, and even friendship is no longer reliable, if you die here, no one will come to check the cause of your death, at most there will be adventurers from the same country who will send the news of your death back home, so if you do explore something valuable, the first thing you should watch out for is the companions behind you.
On top of that, there are bandit gangs roaming the dungeons that specialize in killing people and looting treasures, and they are a bunch of depraved adventurers, a terrible nuisance that no expedition party wants to encounter.
In short, it's a place of opportunity and madness, and now you need to be both good and vigilant to make a fortune.
In the case of the former, Rob doesn't know how many pounds and taels the girl has, but she obviously doesn't have the latter.
Looking at her confident appearance, if she doesn't leave it alone, there is probably a chance that she will be beaten by meat buns and dogs, and she will never go back.
Well, although I don't care about her life or death, it doesn't seem good to watch her die.
Rob is inexplicably a little weak-hearted, he is actually not a very organized person. Unlike those guys who always look rational when they analyze the pros and cons of everything, whether it's daily life or fighting, the boy is relying more on his own intuition, and he doesn't know why he has to desperately find so many reasons this time, although each one seems to make sense, but it's as if to convince himself.
