"As a child of nature, I want to make a deal with the adventurer's union. ”
This sentence made Yoda's palms sweat, and with the convenient magic props of the Communication Stone, any news could be spread all over the Big 6 in an instant. Behind the fall of the goddess Lorelei was the involvement of the children of nature, and when this news came from Xindu, he was embarrassed. The president repeatedly urged him to gather any information about the Children of Nature, but the one had not moved since Hohenheim returned to the Lord's Mansion. Not to mention the unions, not even the pervasive cobwebs have heard anything, and the intelligence community has even begun to rumor that the Children of Nature have left Vaolet. Unexpectedly, not only did he not leave, but he also ran to the union to register as an adventurer!
Before experiencing it himself, Yoda would never have imagined that such an unthinkable thing would fall on him.
What kind of transaction?
If it weren't for the imperfection of the system and the threat of the undead, the mercenaries would have wanted to break away from the adventurer's union, which was already much worse than before.
Nature's child suddenly made such a request...... What exactly does he want to do?
Yoda stammered, "W-What kind of deal?"
"Entrust the task of training the inhabitants of the city to the Adventurers' Guild. Seeing Link give himself a look, Elsie stepped forward.
Yoda had heard of the newly announced conditions for entering the city, so why should he ask the guild? Wasn't this usually done by the nobles?How could Count Seniore be willing to delegate such an important matter to the guild?
Link tapped on the table, drawing Yodassan's attention back to him, saying he was waiting for an answer.
Glancing at the form in his hand, Yoda gritted his teeth: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to go back to the headquarters." ”
"I'm waiting for news from you at the City Lord's Mansion, but quickly, I'll change my mind if I wait too long. "The purpose is achieved. Link turned to leave.
He walked out of the hall on his front feet before Yoda rushed into the side hall and activated the magic device that could communicate with headquarters.
Elsie was about to return to the city gate to continue the work of selecting people to enter the city, but Link stopped him and told him to go to the city lord's mansion with him.
"Isn't that right, does the Count see that he doesn't know what kind of thoughts will come to him. ”
"No, he must already know about your meeting with me. If you don't follow me, I'm afraid you won't live tomorrow. Link glanced at the sun in the sky, just in time for lunch, and the body structure of the child of nature was really amazing, and he didn't feel hungry after ten days of sleeping in bed.
Elsie, who was intimidated and couldn't live to tomorrow, could only grimace and follow Link to the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Centurion Fern himself came to deliver the word that the Earl had invited Link to lunch. As he spoke, his eyes swept towards Elsie, intentionally or unintentionally.
The long table in the dining room is full of sumptuous feasts. Servis smiled and asked if Link was happy with the expansion.
"I haven't seen results for a while, and I'm going to stay here a little longer. He took a sip of the wine in his glass, and the slightly astringent taste made Link hold back the thought of frowning.
Unable to see joy and anger just by his tone and expression, glancing at Elsie sitting beside Link, a trace of unease slipped through Servis's heart. Could it really be what he thought?
"Centurion, please make a trip and ask the dwarven patriarch to come over, and say that I will make a formal alliance agreement. ”
Servis staggered to his feet. He was a pure aristocrat. Hardly combative, Fern is his most trusted henchman and bodyguard. This is the time to break him apart......
"Your Excellency, Fern is the man I trust the most, and there is nothing to hide from him. ”
Saying this, Servis didn't know the bottom of his heart at all, what the children of nature really wanted to do, even ten Ferns couldn't stop it. The reason why I want to mention the secret is also to hint at it. He has a handle in his hand, and it is much more useful for a nobleman with pure blood than a mercenary who only has muscles in his head.
Gulping down the rest of the wine, Link put down his glass, "City Lord." You're thinking too much. ”
Castle Lord...... He also called me the lord of the city, does that mean he has no intention of letting Elsie take his place?
Servis noticed the way Link was holding the ring, and the big stone that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days also fell to the ground.
Maybe I'm thinking too much, and it doesn't make sense to put a civilian without any background in the position of city lord. Furthermore, the Child of Nature is an ally of Malik, and he does not have to risk offending all the nobles.
"Go and ask Patriarch Wolfe, Fern. ”
Receiving Servis's order, the centurion left with no peace of mind, for fear that Link would turn back as if he had eaten his master.
Ignoring the fading gaze behind him, Link tore a leg from the roasted rabbit with his bare hands and ate it under the stunned gaze of Servis.
The taste was good, better than that of Finn's boy, and the watchtower, which had been fighting guerrillas, could not compare to the well-fed and well-fed Waolet in terms of food.
The corners of Servis's mouth twitched, he thought that the children of nature only ate fruit like elves, and he didn't want to be unscrupulous.
What am I thinking? Now is not the time to think about eating habits.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean by the formal alliance agreement......"
"Of course, it's the plan I told you before, in order to prevent you and the dwarves from having any more trouble and to ensure your safety, I will bind it by the law of cause and effect after the agreement is signed. Link's answer made Servis's expression immediately darken, and he drank two large glasses of joy in a row. However, when his gaze swept to Elsie, the city lord's heart was still unhappy.
Seeing his eyes frequently looking at the mercenary leader beside him, Link put the leftover leg bones on the dinner plate: "Elsie just came to me and said that he was not capable of presiding over the training, so I contacted the union on my own initiative and prepared to let them take over." ”
"Guild?" The situation turned out to be more than Cerves' expected, and it had been planned for Fern to be the mercenary who was always strong, and the Child of Nature obviously didn't want him to do anything to Elsie. Servis was in dismay. It's good for Elsie to give up, but ...... Why leave the training of militias to the trade unions?
"There are enough contradictions between the nobles and the commoners, and the private soldiers are used to playing for the tiger, and leaving it to them will only further intensify, which I do not want to see. The union is different, it has a long history and is experienced in basic training, and you and I can rest assured that you and I can do it if you leave it to them, right?"
Servis nodded, saying yes again and again, but he didn't think so in his heart. The militia is also a force to be reckoned with, if there are no capable craftsmen, even if they make trouble, it will be easy to suppress, but once it is shown that everyone in the city has a fighting foundation, is he still firmly seated as the city lord?
"As for Elsie, he's the typical type who doesn't have big ambitions and only guards his own side of the world. Artisan Quarter...... No, the security of the civilian area is entrusted to him, and the city lord should rest assured, instead of thinking about how to find someone to replace him. As soon as Link changed his words, neither of the parties was prepared, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
Servis maintained a false smile and cursed the mercenary leader countless times in his heart.
Elsie's back was soaked with sweat again, and she thought to herself that this dress must not be worn again, and when it dries, it will definitely be white sweat stains.
"Does the city lord think I'm making a fuss?"
"How could it be ......?"
"In the future, there will be more civilians entering the city, I don't want to intensify the conflict between nobles and commoners, the city lord can only rely on Elsie, who is a commoner and has a certain prestige, to mediate, if you change to a really ambitious one, even if you have the protection of my law of cause and effect, he can't move you in time, and it will give you a headache in comparison. Link calculated that Servis had to rely on the civilians of the former artisan district to suppress the newcomers, so he deliberately provoked this powerful relationship.
Receiving Link's eyes, Elsie got up and assured Cervis that he had no intention of taking the throne at all, but just wanted his subordinates who had worked hard with him for many years to live a stable life.
It's all said and done, and if you don't agree, there is no way, and Servis promised Link that as long as he is the lord of the city, he will never hurt Elsie.
The centurion who had gone to ask for someone returned, followed not only by the patriarch Wolf, but also by Yoda, the head of the adventurer's guild branch.
Link was not surprised by this visit.
Fern walked up behind Servis and reported that Yoda insisted on meeting Nature's children on important matters, and that he could not be the master, so he could only bring them into the mansion for instructions.
Servis certainly knew what Yoda's so-called 'important business' was.
It seems that the union side has not fully negotiated......
After taking off his hat to the city lord, Yoda put the things in his hand on the dining table: "Your Excellency Link, the president will personally interview you. ”
"Huh?" personally ...... Is it a messenger stone? too big, isn't it? Link forked a sausage with a fork, and he hadn't eaten meat since he left the Watch Castle.
The spherical crystals "buzzed" and refracted a hologram-like pattern in the air.
Except for Link and Yoda, everyone else let out a "huh" in surprise.
This is a more advanced audio-visual technique than projection, which can not only see images clearly, but also hear sounds, which is a combination of communication stone and projection.
The image gradually became clear, it was a short and capable old man, whose age was difficult to judge, and could only be summarized as 'old man'.
"First meeting, Apostle of the Pillar, I'm the president of the Adventurers' Guild, Bridget Jetton. The old man, who claimed to be the president, did not show excessive respect or rudeness, and he spoke in a gentle tone, word by word, giving people a sense of calm.
"Hello, President Bridge. Link nodded.
"I heard the head of the Befast branch say you want the union to train the militia of Waolet?" Bridge, without spending much time on the pleasantries, went straight to the point.
"Yes, it was originally the temporary sheriff of Vaolet who was in charge of this, but he was a mercenary, so I thought it would be better for the union to be in charge rather than let him do it. Link glanced at Elsie, who was sitting beside him.
The president's gaze also moved, and the middle-aged man in the room was dressed as a mercenary, and it was obvious that he was what the children of nature called a "mercenary-turned-sheriff." (To be continued!)
