"A father's commission. Odin's old face had a slightly embarrassed look, and he said with some embarrassment: "Purely private entrustment, if you accept it, I will go to the guild to register according to the normal procedures, and it will not cause you trouble." ”
"Look at what you said, Freya is also our friend. Catherine laughed and said, "If she's in any trouble, it's a formal act of commissioning." If you really need our help, just let us know. ”
"No, even if you're good friends, as president, this matter must be taken seriously. Odin did not hesitate to reject Catherine's offer.
"In that case, tell us about it first. Catherine asked, "Freya is in trouble?"
"You've probably read the newspapers. Odin pulled out a newspaper from the other day and said, "Freya is getting married." ”
"When we read the newspaper that day, we were all shocked. Catherine said: "I didn't expect her to get married so soon, and I don't know who the man is, but we all silently blessed her." ”
"It's little Haines. Odin uttered a name: "Son of Haynes." ”
"Mr. Haynes?" Catherine shouted uncontrollably, "Mr. Carla, the president of the Mercenary Guild?"
"Hmph, that's him. Odin seemed to have a bad impression of the young man who was about to snatch his daughter, and snorted heavily, "His name is Wesker Haynes." ”
"Are you going to marry them, President?" Catherine shook her head as soon as she finished speaking, "No, there is no point in marrying. Oh, I see, it seems that this marriage goal was chosen by Freya herself. ”
"Have you seen Freya?" Odin was stunned and asked in surprise, "She told you?"
"No, I'm just speculating. Catherine smiled and said, "First of all, there is no point in marrying children between you and Mr. Haines, and neither guild is hereditary. There is no need for any marriage. Then, I thought about Freya's criteria for choosing a mate, and I almost understood. She hates that people are close to her because of her identity and appearance, so why just find someone with almost the same conditions as her? As for appearances. As little Haynes, there must be a group of beautiful women around him, and he has long been numb to his appearance. Because of these two points, I speculate that this target must have been carefully selected by herself. ”
"Most of them guessed right. Odin sighed: "However, the two of them have known each other for a long time. When I was a child, I used to play together. Carla and I are old friends, and we used to team up when we were younger, so we can say that we grew up together, but Freya separated after she went to study with her teacher. ”
"That's good. Catherine asked incomprehensibly, "What are you still worried about? You know each other very well, whether it is an individual or a family, so you don't have to worry about Freya's happiness, this should be a perfect marriage." ”
"It was perfect, but now it's in trouble. Odin couldn't help but stand up and walk around the place, fully showing what a worried father should look like when he was worried about his daughter: "The wedding is in the Free City. Freya needs to be escorted by me to escort her and the gifts she gave to each other's families when they got married to Free City. Originally, the plan was like this, but the other day, I received a threatening letter to Freya. ”
"Threatening letter?" Catherine's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Intimidate the daughter of a demigod, a golden-tier hedron gunner, who would do such a stupid thing?"
"It's inconvenient for me to follow her on the journey to Free City. Odin unconsciously tugged at his beard and said uneasily, "So no matter what happens, everything can only rely on the guards and herself." ”
"So you want us to escort her to Free City with the convoys?" Catherine asked, "to prevent Freya from being in danger?"
"Yes, that's what it means. Odin nodded heavily: "I hope you can protect her along the way as you did when you were teammates before." Make sure she's safe. How, are you willing to accept it?"
"What time is the wedding?" Catherine asked, "The newspaper didn't write the exact time." ”
"Fifteen days later, oh no. Now it should be said that sixteen days later. Odin replied, "Of course you don't have to wait until then, just send Freya into the city, and if you want to go to the wedding, they will be welcome, and you can leave at any time if you want to do anything else." ”
"That's a bit of a problem. Catherine said with a struggle, "I'd love to say yes, but the problem is, I've already promised the Shadow Hand before. After the New Year, I'm going to the City of Innocence. ”
"That's okay. Odin finally breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: "I have read the power of attorney of the Shadow Hand, they did not ask for time, and specially indicated that they can find the connector in the city of innocence within two months, and the time must be in time." ”
Catherine looked down and thought for a moment, calculating the time. Lina leaned over and whispered: "Eldest sister, in fact, we can ask the guild to come forward and ask what they mean, if they don't object to us, we will go, anyway, we won't leave in a day or two." ”
"Well, that's fine. Catherine nodded, "Alright then, President, we will take over your commission for the time being, and I hope you can tell us all the details, and we can also study countermeasures." ”
"Actually, I don't know the details. Odin smiled wryly: "That letter was mixed up in my own letters, and I inadvertently opened it and saw it. But I was afraid that Freya would be afraid, so I didn't tell her about it at all. ”
"Ha, Freya shouldn't be afraid, she's not a child anymore. Catherine couldn't help but smile: "Actually, you can tell her." ”
"No, marriage is a major event in a person's life. Odin insisted, "Don't let these miscellaneous things affect her mood." ”
"Okay, okay, you're the principal, you have the final say. Catherine was helpless against her father, who was overly nervous about his daughter, and could only say helplessly, "Can you show us the letter?"
"Absolutely. Odin carefully pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it over, the fire paint on the envelope had been opened, revealing a small piece of letter paper inside.
"Huh, this letter ......" Catherine was startled when she pulled out the letter and didn't look at it, the letter was not handwritten, all the words on the letter were cut out of the book and pasted on the letterhead: "This letter is completely handwritten." ”
"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. Lina snatched the letter and said angrily, "If you cut such a lovely thing, this person will definitely be spurned by the gods." ”
"You give me a quiet seat. Catherine knocked Lina on the head, took back the letter and looked at it before saying, "President, the letter only said that Freya should never set foot in the Free City within a month, and it did not intimidate Freya." ”
"The letter said that if my daughter set foot in the Free City within a month, she would induce a terrible disaster. Odin waved his hand and said, "And Freya's wedding is only a month away, how can the wedding be held without entering the Free City? This is a threat and intimidation to Freya and her wedding." If I don't be vigilant, I have a hunch that something will happen, something big will happen. ”
"Understood, understood, don't get excited. Catherine hurriedly reassured Odin, who was obviously a little too excited: "We accept this commission, you can rest assured, we will ensure Freya's safety." ”
"Thank you very much. Odin sighed heavily, as if the pent-up mood that had been suppressed for several days had finally relaxed: "With your help, I can finally be a little more relieved, these days I have been worried that Freya will know, afraid that she will be affected." You don't understand, she put so much emotion into the wedding, and if the wedding really suffers, oh my God, I can't imagine how sad she will be. ”
"Freya doesn't know?" Catherine grabbed the point of Odin's words, "You didn't tell her?"
"Never tell her. Odin replied without hesitation: "She will definitely worry about the wedding every day if she knows, so let's know about this matter, don't let her know." You're her friend, so let's just say that I asked her to accompany her to Liberty City to take care of her along the way, not to mention the threatening letters. ”
"Is that good?" Catherine gave Odin a strange look, "It's not fair to Freya, is it?"
"No problem, that's all. Odin said unquestionably, "This is also to protect her." ”
"Oh well. Catherine sighed helplessly: "I try to do what you ask." If not, we'll go back first, it's almost time for Sister Michelle to take the stage. ”
"Thank you. Odin stood up, bowed deeply to the four members of the adventure group, and said very seriously: "I know that I, as a father, worry and care about my daughter a little too much, but I would rather do this than see my child hurt a little." I am very grateful that you have been able to fulfill the wishes of an ordinary father. ”
"We understand your love for Freya. Catherine pushed the door open and replied with a smile, "But don't you think that it is because of your excessive concern that she is emotionally sensitive and vulnerable? You can rest assured that we will do our best to entrust your request, but I hope you will consider my words. ”
Ignoring Odin, who had become a little distracted by her words, Catherine pulled the others to her original seat. Not far from the bungalow where he was before, Pannis suddenly whispered, "Odin has a problem. ”
"I know, I see it. Catherine's face was puzzled: "I guess he must know something about the threatening letter, and maybe even know who the person who wrote the letter is." The person who wrote the letter is also not in his right mind, so isn't it obvious to tell others that you know my real handwriting, so I won't show it to you?" )
