It is said that it is a caravan, but in fact, it is just a little larger than the general merchant team shuttling in villages and towns, after all, the population of the mountainous area is not large, two wagons, a dozen pack horses, twelve people, is the size of this caravan.

Mia greeted her, nodded to the team leader first, and then walked up to Carter and whispered, "Father." ”

Carter is an ordinary mountain man, wearing ordinary leather armor, carrying a machete on his back, due to the perennial logging career, the upper body muscles are particularly large, people seem to be a little hunchbacked, in fact, it is because of the shoulder muscles, he smiled and looked at his adopted daughter, his eyes were full of gratifying smiles.

He didn't expect that the half-beastly little girl who was about to die of illness at that time would repay herself so much when she grew up, but it was a pity that her adoptive mother couldn't enjoy this blessing now, alas...... It's all that damn plague.

"Mia. Carter looked at his adopted daughter and saw that she had grown taller, and it seemed that she had really grown up.

After Mia shouted, she didn't know what to say, but her nose was sour, Carter saw this, he was originally a man who couldn't speak, and at this time he was even more smiling, not knowing what to say.

"Father, how are you doing?" Mia was a little girl after all, and she spoke first, but she was still the timid little girl she was at the beginning, and when she faced her father, she spoke softly.

"Good, good. Carter also nodded, no matter how much he had in his heart, he couldn't say it, and reached out to pat Mia on the shoulder, but when he saw her thin appearance, he still held back.

Although there are many rewards, it is also very hard outside, and Mia must have suffered a lot.

At this time, Ades also came over, and the caravan leader hurriedly walked over to Ades's side, took off the felt hat on his head with one hand, and bowed slightly to Ades, "Mr. Clifford." Good day. ”

"Good day, Team Leader Foss" Ades nodded reservedly, which was considered a return gift.

Carter, who was chatting with his adopted daughter, saw Ades come out. He also took Mia and went up to greet Adès. Ades let go of the gate and motioned for Foss to lead the caravan in to unload, and the caravan members passing by all saluted Ades.

Since Ades was officially promoted to Ranger and completed the ritual of faith in the forest goddess Mericay under the guidance of Willina, he has reverted to the surname of his ancestors, and Adès Clifford is his full name, and there is an unspoken rule on the Big 6. Ordinary civilians, including freedmen, poor peasants, and the poor, are not allowed to use their surnames publicly.

You can have a surname, but no one else will call you unless you are a nobleman, a wealthy merchant or a middle-level professional, a priest, an official, or other powerful and powerful people.

This is one of the reasons why the caravan members salute him, because after Adès officially believes in the goddess, he is the reserve charismatic recipient, and his status in the church is no less than that of Cardinal, and then unites Hunt and Verina, his power in the nearby villages and towns. It will not be worse than the consul of the small town, and the surname will be restored as a matter of course.

Adès stood outside the door, talking to Mia and Carter.

"Uncle Carter......"

Carter quickly shook his head and waved his hand. He glared at Ades and said, "Master Clifford, don't be too polite, you can just call me Carter." ”

"Then you can't call me young master. ”

Carter insisted: "This is not good, Mia wants to call you young master, I will call you according to her." ”

Adès rolled his eyes, this was cheated by Velina, at first he thought that it would be enough to sign an oath with Mia as a follower like Sister Evis, who knew that Mia, at the instigation of Verina, insisted on signing an oath with Adès as a lord and vassal. He said that he would follow Adès for generations.

Adès can convince Mia, but Mia has a big sister behind her. Verina also agreed to Mia's oath, believing that Adès would inevitably regain her nobility in the future. Now I have to help him book a head maid, that is, Mia, this head maid knows all the things about Ades, and she can't be abandoned casually in the future, so the identity of a vassal is a must, even if Mia and Ades are innocent in the future, when Mia is older, there will be a fief to support the elderly.

Ades' arms can't twist his two thighs, and Mia is willing to sacrifice herself to save herself, so half a push and half a follow, since then, Mia is Adess's personal maid, and it is also signed by Ades as the patriarch of the family, a personal maid with the title of vassal, from a certain point of view, Mia's status by Ades's side is now higher than that of Sister Yves.

At first, according to aristocratic etiquette, Mia called Ades a young master, but Ades hadn't experienced this set of aristocratic rituals for a long time, and he was not used to it, so he forced Mia to change his words, and Mia was not allowed to call himself a young master, Mia complied on the surface, but in private, sometimes he would secretly call Ades a young master, and even his adoptive father began to call Ades that.

"Young master...... Mia shouted with a smile, but was glared at by Ades.

"Don't shout. ”

"Oh, okay. Mia continued to cover her mouth and smile, although Adès glared at herself, but there was no blame on her face.

"Don't mess around. Adès glared at him again before continuing to talk to Carter.

But speaking of which, when he stared at Mia now, the little girl was much better, at least not like before, and he would be nervous when he looked at it more and didn't know what to do.

Mia covered her mouth on the side and watched her adoptive father and her own feudal lord arguing about the title, feeling that these two were so boring.

In fact, this is also a process in which Ades and Carter get acquainted with each other, and Ades is embarrassed to feel that he has abducted someone else's daughter after a mission.

Carter is because the young man in front of him will be the support of his father and daughter in the future, there is a kind of poor people's alienation and fear of nobles, through such topics as guò, everyone gradually familiarizes themselves with each other, and tests each other's bottom line step by step, these are things that Mia will not understand now.

In the end, it was Ades's insistence and order that was won, Carter no longer called him a young master, and Carter also got an answer, the young man in front of him did not treat his father and daughter with the things of the nobility, but a rather kind and gentle attitude, which also made him completely relieved.

Carter pulled Mia, who was snickering on the side, over and pushed her in front of Adès, and before Mia could react, her small body was pushed out.

"Father......" Mia turned her head to look at her father.

Carter pressed her shoulder, the expression on his face was very solemn, although Mia didn't know the situation, but seeing her father like this, she could guess what was wrong.

Adès stood there motionless, and after Mia stood up, he gently helped her.

This subtle movement made Carter more sure of his trust in Adès, so he glanced down at his adopted daughter.

Although Mia is an adopted daughter, she also grew up by herself, and from the bottom of his heart, he loves this child very much.

The half-beast little girl who was about to die of illness back then has grown so old now, and she is also old, and Mia also wants to follow Ades, especially knowing that Mia and Ades have signed the oath of lord and vassal.

Since Mia followed Adès, the life of the two has gradually improved, which is already a good situation. Carter doesn't expect anything else, as long as Adès can take good care of Mia.

After all, this big 6 nobleman has been criticized, what the first night right, what illegitimate children and other rumors are endless, which makes Carter, who has been living at the bottom, a little scared, afraid that Ades is also such a person, then his daughter will be entrusted to non-people, but after several temptations, Ades is with such a close attitude, whether this attitude is true or not, Carter can only accept it, and only hopes that Ades's attitude towards his daughter will be the same.

Mia understood what her father meant, glanced up at Adès, and then lowered her head and remained silent.

"Don't worry. ”

Adès glanced at Mia, who was biting her lower lip and her eyes were red, he was not a person who put promises on his lips, and he would definitely work hard to do what he could.

Regardless of whether he signed an oath with Mia or not, just before Mia was able to rush up to block the danger for himself, he decided that he would take good care of Mia, and this oath can be regarded as a reassuring certificate for Carter.

Uncle Carter also understood this truth, pushed Mia's hand on her shoulder, nodded, and looked at Mia without saying a word.

"I'll take care of Mia. ”

When Mia heard her name, she raised her head and saw the serious look on Adès's face, and her little fists were clenched.

Ades is good to herself and her father, and she will train better so that she can keep up with Adès and Eves and become a competent vassal.

When the caravan's pack horses and wagons had entered Elan's workshop, Adès and Carter returned to the small courtyard next to the unloading yard, where Foss was already preparing to go with Elam to count the goods he had brought.

When Adès arrived at the courtyard, he walked up to Fox and asked, "Evis, do they have any message to bring?"

Fox hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "Lord Evis doesn't have a special message to bring, just asking me to greet you and ask you to pay attention to your body, but Master Ward has a message that your ordered things have been made, so that you have time to go to Estuary Town." ”

Ades nodded, "Then I'm sorry for you, you and Uncle Elan can go and get busy, don't worry about me." ”

Foss bowed slightly, and went to count the goods with Elan, and when he turned around, he glanced at Carter, secretly envious in his heart, envious that Carter had a good daughter, and at the same time secretly sighed to himself, if he wasn't careful when he recruited people, why wouldn't he be like this......
