Rod glanced at Dieter with some strange eyes, not knowing whether he wanted to take the opportunity to show his loyalty or to remind himself that there was such a person in his family, but he thought about the ambitious servant in his mouth, and immediately felt creepy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'll go and cut him down right away. Before Rod could speak, Grom spoke, with anger in his words, as if he could not tolerate even a hypothetical enemy.

Dieter coughed a little embarrassed, realizing that what he said might be a little unlucky to the host's family, and immediately gave another positive example: "Catherine, you should know it well." ”

"Hmm? What's wrong. Rod asked in some surprise, more than just familiar.

"Do you remember her last name? ”

"What's Catherine's last name?" Rhodes found himself being asked, and although he called her sister, he knew that Catherine didn't share the same surname as him. This woman who has taken care of herself and is extremely intimate with herself, he really doesn't know what her surname is!

"It's not that you have a bad memory, it's that she won't mention it at all. Dieter noticed Rod's slight anomaly, but didn't think much of it: "She was sold to your mother as a maid by her biological parents not long after I was a housekeeper. Your mother paid Catherine's mother five gold coins, the most widely used old small gold dragon coins on the mainland, and if you count the new Mild, it's less than three—less than one-twentieth of what you paid for that little fox. She was almost ten years old at the time, and although she was thin and pitiful, she was already sensible after all, and naturally hated her biological parents who abandoned her to the extreme, so she never mentioned her real surname. It was synonymous with the memories of her low birth and humiliation, the thing she wanted most to get rid of. ”

Rhodes really didn't know that Catherine had such a past, that beautiful and confident female archmage, the magic teacher of the Imperial Capital Middle Academy, was once not even worth five golden dragons?

"That girl was in good luck. Sylna couldn't help but murmur, although she didn't know the woman named Catherine, but just having a relationship with a duke was enough for her to envy.

"When Catherine came to your house, she was helpless, full of grievances and fears. What did she want at that time? to be fed, clothed, and have a place to live, and she didn't even expect to have another home...... But your mother satisfied her and gave her the warmth of home. Dieter sighed a little, "Compared with many other abandoned girls in the world, she is lucky." Catherine was reborn from your mother's support and love, and she has always felt that this kindness can never be repaid, and she is willing to die for you and your family if necessary. ”

Rhodes seemed to have figured out something again, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only steer the mare and follow the monster hunter and the giant wolf who led the way.

"And what about the little fox, what does she want? She wants you to give her good food and drink, to be polite and to do everything in your power to get her home safely. It doesn't hurt you, but it's too much to ask. Dieter finally turned to the protagonist of today's events: "Your parents can't satisfy the desires of the hypothetical overly ambitious servant, and in the same way, you shouldn't brainlessly fulfill all the demands of the little fox." The war between orcs and humans has never stopped, and the hatred is deep-rooted - if you spend your own money to buy a little fox girl who is chic and happy, others will only envy and envy you for having a good father, but you spend such a huge sum of money to buy her, not only do you not touch her, but also send her home, and the magic is that she still doesn't appreciate it and runs away...... People who know you will laugh at you, and people who don't know you will treat you as fools. Maybe the opinions of others don't matter to you, but as social creatures, as long as we are not completely isolated from the world, we cannot completely ignore the opinions and evaluations of the same people around us. ”

After Dieter finished saying this, the group also happened to leave the east gate of the town, and the vision instantly widened, without too much interference from the breath of life, the demon wolf who walked in the forefront no longer put his nose on the ground to sniff and sniff, but held his head high and confidently accelerated the pace of tracking, and everyone had to speed up to keep up, and the horses changed from slow pacing to trotting.

Rod slowly digested everything Dieter said in his heart, and finally made up his mind: "I know what to do Dieter, now let's go and chase her back." ”

Dieter's expression became firm when he saw that Rod was getting rid of the slump so quickly, and his words obviously had an effect, although this child seemed a little immature to live with his mother and sister for a long time, but his attitude towards the elders' teaching was quite correct. No matter what the decision he made, his goal was achieved.

＊＊＊

The little fox man obviously didn't have any sense of anti-tracking, and his escape route went straight to the east, and he didn't hide his smell in the slightest along the way. The pace of the demon wolf continued to increase, until the horses could not keep up with it, and soon the road became narrow, and they approached the foot of the mountain, and further on, they were about to enter the mountain.

"Dismount, riding a horse no faster than walking, forcing the uphill will hurt the horse. "The monster hunter cherishes his horses so much that he stops as soon as the slope steepens.

Tracking a little fox in the mountains and forests, no one had ever done such a thing, and at this moment they could only follow the arrangements of the professionals and got off their mounts, led them to the side of the road, and let Sylna stay guarded and began to move forward on foot.

Soon they realized that dismounting was the right decision, and the path that the nearby residents had stepped on was winding up the mountain, but the direction in which the little fox fled was straight to the top of the mountain, and it was impossible for the horses to keep up with the pace of the demon wolf.

"One more thing I forgot to mention. Dieter knew that he was a little verbose, but Madame asked him to teach Rhodes something, and he was eager to pour nearly fifty years of life experience into the child's brain in one go. Although it is true that some of his ideas have begun to keep up with the times, he is confident that some truths are eternal and will not be invalid no matter how the times develop: "Where you are in a position, you should show what you should be." If you are a real nobleman, or the owner of that little fox, then you should have a bit of majesty and courage. The superior can love the subordinate, but cannot be friends with him, because once this is the case, the subordinate will easily lose the awe that the superior should have, and once there is no distinction between the host and the guest in the world, it will be chaotic. ”

Dieter cut open a bunch of rattan sticks in front of him with the short knife in his hand, and continued to brainwash: "Your father is very talkative, but have you ever seen him get into a fight with his subordinates? Your mother is even more gentle and approachable, but you should remember that she brought you to me not long ago to let me take care of you, and she didn't negotiate with me." Your sister is no different from a normal girl at home, but when she goes out, she must pretend to be a proud girl and an iceberg beauty. ”

"You mean I shouldn't be too nice to her?"

Dieter shook his head and continued to forge a path forward: "Let me ask you, what are you going to do if you recover the little fox man later?"

"I ...... Should I punish her?"

"Well, but punishment is a means, not an end. The role of punishment is to convince the restrained person that punishment will indeed happen when she has done something. Ditt nodded, "The little fox has already escaped, and catching it back and punishing it is only the most basic, and the more important thing is to let her ...... I will not hold a grudge against you because of this, and I will not dare to do it again. She will be with you for a long time, what to do before the punishment, what to do after the punishment, this needs to be thought through. ”
