The next morning, Mary left the mercenary group and walked in the direction of Twilight Castle, at first, she was still hurrying, but of course when the majestic, tall figure of Twilight Castle appeared in front of Mary's eyes, her steps suddenly slowed down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the girl had already begun to hesitate.

Although she did have great hopes for Yuren, in fact, even Mary herself knew that this excuse was only used to comfort herself. The other party is the lord of the Twilight Forest, the head of the Knights of the Last Days, and a gifted knight. And what about himself? He is just an ordinary little mercenary, and the status of the two sides is completely different, and he wants him to release him at the moment, and there is no reason for him to release him. In fact, even Mary herself did not believe that she could succeed. Although the impression that Yulian left on her that day was indeed very kind and kind, but the two sides have only met once, if you talk about friendship, it is not a friendship, and you just come to the door like this, isn't it a bit too cheeky?

Girls are thin-skinned, and Mary is naturally no exception, although the years of being a mercenary are not short, after all, she is still a girl, unlike many elderly female mercenaries who can even make some nasty jokes with men loudly. If she had done it instead, I'm afraid Mary's face would have turned red. But now, she found that there was no turning back.

Now that we have arrived here, what to do next depends on the situation.

At this moment, Mary remembered Crowke's words again, which made her blush again. Of course, she knew that Crowk was not wrong, most of the nobles were womanizers, and they had nothing now, so it must not be so easy to let the other party release them like this. So at least there must be an exchange, and what can he exchange for a small mercenary? Be his subordinate? This lord has more than a hundred dragon knights under his command, which is more useful than 10,000 himself, what is the point of coming? And Mary is not willing to leave the mercenary group and become a nobleman's subordinate.

Well, the options at the moment are very limited.

Do you really want to do that?

Thinking of this, Mary's heart was also entangled, after all, she had never done such a thing since she was a child, and now she feels shy when she thinks about it. What's more, Yu Lian didn't act like a womanizer before, even if he did this, but if the other party didn't like it, then what was the difference between himself and the dancing girls in the tavern who came forward to sell meat when they saw the gold owner? But if he didn't do this, then how could he rescue the townspeople?

Mary's mind was in such confusion that she didn't even notice what was ahead, and it wasn't until a soft hand reached out to her that Mary raised her head and looked ahead in surprise.

"Hello, miss, may I ask you something?"

It was only then that Mary realized that she had arrived at the gate of the Twilight Castle, and at this moment, a young girl in a black maid's uniform was standing quietly, staring at Mary in front of her with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny.

"Ah, I ........."

Mary hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth.

"I, I'm Mary of the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment, that's it, I have some personal matters, and I want to talk to the lord about it........."

"I see. ”

Hearing Mary's words, the expression on the maid's face did not change, she just nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

"Well, wait a minute. ”

With that, she saluted Mary and turned to leave.

"Hoo ..............."

And it wasn't until the maid's figure disappeared that Mary let out a long breath, she stretched out her hand and pressed her chest, feeling that her mood was really a little complicated.

It is no secret that the maids under Yulian are in the twilight forest, and many people know that he has a vote of maids, and these maids are very beautiful. There are all kinds of grades, which in fact once became one of the mysteries of the twilight forest, because beauty is a scarce resource no matter where it is, and because this is a world of the jungle, there are very few beautiful women who can get a happy ending. Because of this, most of the beauty resources are "monopolized" by the aristocracy, and occasionally one or two are born into civilian families, and the final result is nothing more than being favored by any noble, or being sold to some unknown amusement places. In such a world, beauty is not their capital, and even becomes a burden for them. Even Mary is the same, she herself is a beautiful, lively and lovely girl, if it weren't for being in the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment, then there would be no less trouble.

However, these maids under Yu Lian are different. As for the difference, Mary couldn't say, she only vaguely felt that these maids seemed to be different from those ordinary beauties, they seemed to have some kind of awe-inspiring atmosphere, in fact, even when she spoke just now, although the maid's words were very respectful and polite, but Mary didn't feel that she was a subordinate at all, and in turn, she seemed to be a head shorter than the other party.

What's going on?

Thinking of this, Mary's inner uneasiness is getting deeper and deeper.

It's a good day.

Yulian walked out the door, stretched leisurely, then turned his head and glanced at his bed. On that big bed, Messiah and Semia were sleeping in their arms, and a happy smile appeared on their cute little faces. It's hard to imagine that these two little ones would have demanded and squeezed him like insatiable witches last night.

"Sure enough, you can't just look at the surface......... Exercising seems to be the right choice. ”

Yulian whispered a whisper as he reached out and pressed his aching waist, then straightened his clothes and walked to the next room.

"Ah, Lord Yuren. ”

Seeing Yulian's appearance, Shirley, who was sitting in the chair, immediately stood up and smiled softly at him.

"Good morning. ”

"Good morning, Miss Shirley. ”

Yuren smiled and nodded to Shirley, then turned his gaze to Sleeping Beauty, who was still sleeping beside her.

"How's Offariel doing?"

"Nothing has changed so far. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of uneasiness immediately appeared on Shirley's originally fairly bright face.

After the "blackening" that day, Offariel has been unconscious, which makes both Farin and Shirley a little uneasy. And although Yu Lian knew the characteristics of the Phantom Shadow's surname, he had never been treated with similar characters by his side after all, so he was a little undecided, and finally found the twin sisters and asked them to help check it, and came to the conclusion that it was because this was the first time that Offariel had "blackened", and some of them could not be mastered, so they consumed a lot of mental power, so they needed to cultivate through sleep. And because Ofaril was too rational before, his feelings have been closed and piled up, and the result suddenly broke out, and the mental level was a little unbearable. The current slumber is equivalent to resting while digesting those emotions that have been closed for a long time. As for when it will be digested, then it will be up to Ofaril himself.

However, according to the Messiah and Seminya, this will probably be a long process. Because everyone's surname is different, if it is a single-celled creature who doesn't understand the brain and only relies on intuition, then I'm afraid I can't swallow anything in the face of these feelings. But Ofariel is different, her too rational surname makes it a complicated and long process for her to accept these feelings, which is one of the reasons why she will sleep for a long time.

And in the face of this, Yulian has no choice. Although there are also ways to forcibly wake each other up through magic, according to the two sisters, this will have irreparable effects on the spirit of the caster. In particular, she doesn't have a physical body but a pure soul body, so it's easier to pop up, so Yulian can only shake her hand and let her continue to be a sleeping beauty, and see if there is a way to wake up on her own one day.

At this time, Shirley and Faren volunteered to take care of Offariel.

They also know that they are the diners of the Twilight Forest, but even so, they are still a little embarrassed to be cheeky and do nothing but enjoy it. It's just that there has been nothing that the two of them can do, so they are not easy to speak. And now the fall of Ofariel has provided them with this opportunity, although those political and military affairs, these two people can't do it. But there is no problem in taking care of the sick. And Ofaril is still a girl, although she is unconscious, she also needs to take a shower and change clothes, since the two of them want to do it, then Yulian has no intention of stopping it, anyway, for him, there is no problem with these.

"If this continues, I'm really worried that Miss O'Faryl's body will collapse. ”

Shirley's face did not hide her helplessness and worry at all, and it is no wonder that she is the only one among the people who does not know O'Faryl's true identity, and has always regarded the other party as an ordinary human being. And from Shirley's point of view, without eating or drinking for so many days, one person will definitely not be able to hold on.

"Don't worry, she'll get better, and until she gets better, I'll trouble you to continue to take care of her. ”

Yulian replied with a smile, and then gently patted Shirley on the shoulder, which made Shirley's face slightly red, and then quickly lowered her head.

"Where, Lord-sama Yuren, I'm just doing what I can do........."

"Even so, you've done a good job, Miss Shirley. You've worked hard too, so it's time to go and rest. ”

"No, I can support it for a while. Miss Farren will be here soon, and it will not be too late for me to go and rest by then. ”

"So......... Please take care of yourself. ”

Just as Julien opened his mouth and was about to say something, there was a knock on the door, and then, Charlotte walked in, she smiled, glanced thoughtfully at Shirley, who was standing next to her, her head bowed, and then turned her gaze back to Julien.

"Master, there's a Miss Marie who claims to be from the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment and wants to see you on a personal matter........."

Charlotte didn't finish her words, she just smiled meaningfully, and then narrowed her eyes.

"How are you going to reply?"

"I'm going to see her, of course, and take her to the reception room. ”

"Understood, master. ”

Hearing Yuren's order, Charlotte smiled and gave a "understanding" look, then turned to leave. Yulian completely ignored the head maid's eyes, just nodded at Shirley with the usual smile, and then walked out of the bedroom.

When You Lian came to the reception room, he saw that the mercenary girl was sitting on the sofa nervously, staring at the teacup in front of her, grabbing the corner of her skirt with both hands uneasily, her body was straight, but she looked completely nervous. When she saw Yulian, Mary immediately jumped up with a "whew", and then quickly stood up straight.

"Ah, hello, honorable lord, I am Mary, do you remember.........?

"Of course I remember you, lovely young lady. ”

Facing the panicked girl, Yuren smiled comfortingly, and then came to sit down opposite Mary, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"You may be seated. ”

"Ah, well, thank you so much......"

Mary sat down again, but looking at her, she was still nervous.

"Charlotte. ”

"Yes, master. ”

"Bring some snacks and tea, our lovely guests seemed a little nervous. ”

"Yes. ”

Charlotte smiled and nodded, then turned and walked out of the reception room, while Mary looked up in surprise and looked at 1 Yuren uneasily.

"Lord, lord, don't bother you so much, I'm here to ............ this time"

"Don't get excited, Miss Mary, you're here anyway, take it easy, don't be nervous. ”

"Ah, yes............"

Hearing Yulian's soft response, Mary's originally nervous mood gradually calmed down a lot, she reached out and pressed her chest, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath. At this moment, Charlotte had already served a rich black tea and fragrant dessert, perhaps because of this gentle taste, the girl felt that she had finally calmed down.

"So, what is Miss Mary looking for me?"

After drinking a cup of tea, Yulian leisurely got to the point, and his appearance made Charlotte, who was standing next to him, slightly raise her eyebrows. Obviously, she has a considerable degree of opinion about her master's acting skills.

But Mary apparently did not notice the maid's movement, and she put down her teacup at this time, and then bowed her head again uneasily.

"Yes, my lord, I actually have something I would like to ask for your help............"

"Oh?"

Under Yulian's inquiring gaze, Mary quickly told the story of the people in Kingfisher Town, and at the same time explained her intentions, in fact, when it came to the latter, Mary was still a little ashamed, she didn't even think that she could get help from the other party, but she was just saying what she wanted to say in her heart.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I know it's too hard, but I trust them, I know they're not that kind of people, they don't stir up refugees, they don't get themselves in trouble because of it, they're just honest farmers, my lord, I hope you can help me......... I know it's very wrong for me to say that, but I can't watch them suffer......"

At this point, Mary had already lowered her head, she had finished what she wanted to say, and then, it was only up to the other party to solve it.

Then, she heard Yuren's answer.

"It is not an easy task, Miss Mary......"

“！！”

Mary's face was already so red that she couldn't be more red, but she had met once, and now she made such a request, she was really too cheeky.

"However, I can understand your feelings. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Mary raised her head in surprise and looked at Yuren, could it be that there was still hope for this matter?

"Frankly speaking, I was unwilling to do such a thing as asking the Bird family to release them. I will say this first, Miss Mary, I do not know the people of Kingfisher Town of which you speak, nor do I know their character, nor do I know them, nor do I trust them. ”

"That's ......... It's also ........."

Mary's throat felt a little hoarse, but she didn't know what to say.

"This time, though, I've decided to accede to your request. ”

"Huh, my lord?"

And after hearing Yulian's answer, this time Mary raised her head in surprise, looking at the man in front of her in disbelief, and even more unable to believe what she had just heard.

"What do you mean ........."

"It is impossible to release them completely, Miss Mary, and as I said, I do not know them, and therefore do not trust them. But, I trust your judgment, Miss Mary, and since you have said that they are not such people, then surely they should live up to your expectations......... If you agree, I can inform the Bird family and release them for the time being, but I will not allow them to leave the Bird family's territory, so what do you think?"

"No problem, of course I agree, honorable lord, thank you very much for your help!!"

Hearing this, Mary immediately became excited, and she hurriedly replied, and then smiled and saluted Yulian.

"Thank you very much, lord, I really don't know what to do............"

"I'm not done yet. ”

However, Julien waved his hand and then interrupted Mary.

"As much as I admire you, Miss Mary, I must also ask for a reciprocal reward, for I am a nobleman, and, this time, I have been offended. No matter who the other party is, there's no way I'm going to end here. Because of this, since you ask me to release those people, then you have to pay the corresponding price. ”

Here it comes.

Hearing this, Mary's body trembled slightly.

"So, what price do you want me to pay, my lord?"

"How's that?"

Yuren narrowed his eyes and smiled, and then he leaned back.

"Since you think those people are innocent, then Miss Mary, I hope that you will be able to take their place and find out who really incited the refugees behind the scenes, and if you can find sufficient and sufficient evidence, then I will fully agree with your request. ”

"Of course there is no problem, but I ......... What should I do?"

Hearing this request, Mary's heart immediately relaxed, so she quickly collected her mood and asked.

"It's simple. ”

Yulian held out a finger.

"In fact, I've entrusted your mercenary group with the task of investigating this matter......... Well, judging by your reaction, it doesn't seem like you know yet? So be it, I want you to join the investigation and report back to me. However, I don't think you need to report this matter to the regiment commander......... Well, it's like a task I've personally entrusted to you, except that I've paid you in advance, and how well you're doing......... Miss Mary, you know what I mean?"

"Rest assured, my lord. ”

Hearing this, Mary was completely relieved, she stood up, and nodded vigorously.

"I won't let you down. ”

The girl's figure disappeared again, and the reception room quickly returned to its original calm, while Yulian picked up the teacup with a meaningful smile.

"Master, you've been planning to do this for a long time, haven't you?"

"Of course. ”

Faced with Charlotte's inquiry, Julien replied casually.

"It's called work-life balance, Charlotte, you see, that's the fun. ”
