Chapter 31: Prepare with both hands

Although she understood the idea of changing her name to Uncle Reese, who became Degas, Erin did not feel much grateful or excited. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For her, the unattainable position of the Duke of Merce was far less reliable than having a good meal at dinner.

Therefore, the first thing Reese did after introducing himself was not to tell Erin how he planned to help her reclaim her parents' things, but to invite the two of them to the most representative place in Onica City, the Fountain Square in the center of Onika City, to have dinner and watch a show.

Of course, it won't be just Reese's "entourage" as the master.

Naturally, the lord of the castle will also be there.

His arrival was welcomed by Sun Chenghuan.

Erin, on the other hand, put on a look of irrelevance, a little cold.

On the contrary, it made the city lord very embarrassed.

However, in order to make himself a little more "popular", he still brought good news.

News came from the headquarters of the Western Corps in Xiguan.

The "rebels" who had launched an attack at the Xiguan Post the night before had been wiped out.

And Carter's team of archers who infiltrated Merth's territory has also been besieged in the forest east of Xiguan Station.

The soldiers of the Western Legion were making their final encirclement.

And those who assisted in the defense of Xiguan Post Station and fought bloodily all night "spontaneously came to help defend the city" were also rewarded.

Princess Jarro expressed the hope that these people could become her guardians......

As a result, she finally has a "hers" personal guard.

With such a news, Sun Chenghuan didn't know whether he wanted to welcome it or not, and in his absence, Princess Yarluo's personal guard was established.

As a representative of the Presbyterian Church, Master said that it was escort or protection, and the mission must have ended in Onika.

It was impossible for him to go to Astrana with Jarro, otherwise it would have been like this one, and the blame for the assassination would have to be borne by Merce.

Next, the Astranas themselves take on the responsibility.

Since Master can't be, and he is far away in Onica, then, the position of the captain of this guard team will naturally fall on Sowan, right?

Sun Chenghuan suddenly felt that he seemed to have chosen the wrong tactic at the wrong time......

Although leaving the Xiguan Post Station by yourself can help the besieging people there reduce a lot of pressure, and the facts have proved this, but if you don't leave there......

I think I must be the leader of this pro-guard team, right?

Right now...... Cheap Sovan too.

Sun Chenghuan sighed silently in his heart, although the relationship between Suo Wan and himself is not bad, but it is definitely not good. As soon as I thought about it, the initial power around Jarro in the future was in the hands of Sowan......

Sun Chenghuan felt a little bottomless in his heart.

Whether Sun Chenghuan wants to do it now or not, he has already been tied to Jarro's warship, unless he doesn't stay in Merce or go to Astrana......

Carter couldn't go either, after all, he basically killed the hundred archers who had infiltrated Merce by himself this time.

I can only go to Langu, a country to the north that I don't know at all.

Then it's better to follow Jarro to Astrana, or go to Astrana to follow a prince himself......

So, he didn't have a choice.

It's just that he wasn't there when the guards were established, and Suowan, who was so cheap, really made Sun Chenghuan depressed.

So, this dinner, although outside the window, is a beautiful magic fountain show, and on the table, it is a delicious meal. But here in Sun Chenghuan, this meal is really tasteless.

Moreover, he could not be seen to be in a bad mood......

It's just that although he tried to pretend to be in a good mood, he really felt irritable when he had to reconcile Erin, who didn't like the city lord very well, and the city lord who kept showing kindness to Erin there.

So, he could only keep talking.

But Sun Chenghuan, who was thinking about other things in a mess, really couldn't find any reliable topics to talk about at the dinner table.

The only thing I can say and don't use my brain much is the magic show in the pool outside the window.

Even if Sun Chenghuan is not an elemental magician and doesn't understand the difference between water magic and ice magic in elemental magic, he can still see some doorways.

Especially, after listening to Anthony's theory of the so-called neutral elements of magic.

The so-called water magic element, or fire magic element, is only slightly different from the corresponding spiritual magic element.

Naturally, in Sun Chenghuan's current concept, it will not be difficult to convert the water and ice elements.

It's nothing more than adapting a few spell pronunciations.

So, the lively scene in the square that laymen look at like water dragons shuttling back and forth above the pool in the square, so lively, in Sun Chenghuan's view, is actually just some simple shuttles of water elements.

But Sun Chenghuan can't say these things yet......

So, only there......

"What a beautiful water dragon!"

"Oh! This water dragon is green! There's a red one there!"

"This shape looks like a lotus flower!"

This......

Finally, the dinner party, in which the host was not very happy and the guests were not very happy, came to an end.

The only good thing is that Sun Chenghuan was absent-minded, thinking about how he should develop in the future, and he kept running the train, Erin successfully reached an agreement with the city lord of Onika.

The lord of Onika recognized Erin's niece.

In exchange, Erin and Sun Chenghuan went to Astrana together, and the city lord of Onica will express his unconditional support.

Even, he will arrange for several servants to take care of Erin's daily life.

Erin mischievously proposed to the city lord that she wanted to come to the post station today to take care of her "uncle who looks quite good", but was politely rejected by the city lord.

"Degas is the butler of my house, and he has a lot to do for me here in Onica, if he goes to Astrana with you, there will be no one to take over many of his affairs, so I'll send someone else with you, someone who can take better care of you." ”

The city lord's excuse made Sun Chenghuan and Erin stunned.

While chatting in the inn this afternoon, Reece said that he was just an ordinary servant, why did he suddenly become a butler?

However, the two of them just quietly glanced at each other and did not expose the matter.

After dinner, they returned to the room of the inn, and the two of them discussed what was estimated to be a temporary promotion......

Sure enough, the next morning, Reese had brought a man to the inn to meet the niece of the lord of the city.

"Thank you...... I'm a housekeeper now. ”

As soon as Reese met, in front of the woman whose expression was not very good, he said to Sun Chenghuan and Erin.

"Congratulations, uncle. Sun Chenghuan smiled slightly.

Last night, he was in a bad mood and had lost his position as captain of the Merce's guard.

But when he returned to the station, Irene reminded him.

"As a girl, I think it's far more likely that Princess Jarro will let Raven run the guard than it is that Sovan will manage it. Moreover, unlike Suowan who hid in the command post that night, Raven was the one who went out of the city with you to lead the sneak attack team! Among the people who were improvised by Uncle Master, they must have been more popular than Suowan. Besides, now that Grant is gone, Suowan will definitely play the role of the great butler in the future, and it is impossible for the person who oversees all the affairs of the Jarro Mansion to let him be the captain of the guard at the same time. ”

A very reasonable statement.

Although even Erin couldn't figure out how to let Sun Chenghuan go to Astrana with him, how Moth's gang planned to arrange him.

Let him take the place that was set for Grant before?

That's kind of unrealistic. Although Sun Chenghuan has also learned a little bit of territorial governance and other courses, it is impossible for him to be a good housekeeper.

But in any case, these things may have been prepared from the beginning.

Otherwise, why did he choose a magician, a samurai, an all-rounder, and two government affairs as the team that Merce arranged for Jarro?

Since he didn't understand, Sun Chenghuan didn't guess.

Anyway, these things must have an accurate statement from Master, and it is useless to guess for yourself.

After introducing the woman named Selena to Sun Chenghuan and Erin, and showing that she was the head of the servants arranged by the city lord for Erin, Reece left in a hurry.

It can be seen that although it has only been one night, Uncle Rees seems to have entered the inner circle of the City Lord's Mansion now.

Congratulations......

"Hello, Miss Irene, it is a pleasure to serve you. ”

The servant, Selena, looked very bad.

But she still tried to maintain her humility.

A proper salute.

Whether it is Sun Chenghuan or Erin, they are not interested at all in why she has such a bad expression.

Although they looked young, neither of them was a simple child.

It is claimed that the city lord arranged them to be servants, nominally, it is naturally for Erin to serve, reflecting the city lord's concern for this "niece".

In fact, they all knew very well that this person, and the few people who had not yet arrived, were all arranged by the city lord to spy on Erin.

You'd better keep me alive and don't die...... I'll be able to take a closer look at whether this blood oath curse of mine has changed in any way.

"Hello. Erin nodded, "If there is anything to arrange in the future, I will come to you directly...... Or, let my brother come to you. ”

"Brother?" Selena was stunned.

Then, he glanced at Sun Chenghuan.

"Well, he's my brother. Erin was pleased with Selena's reaction, "His words are more effective than mine." If there is any conflict between the two of us...... Listen to him. ”

Selena was completely stunned and looked at Sun Chenghuan.

A look of absurdity.

No matter how this sounds, it sounds like the wife is telling the maid who came from her mother's house to marry!

That's not right, right......

"Isn't that appropriate? Lord Castle Lord, let us ......?"

"I'm usually fine, and I won't look for you. It's looking for you, and it must be because of Erin's business. Sun Chenghuan glanced at Selena, who was looking at him with very complicated eyes, and interrupted her words with a calm expression, "Now that you have been arranged by the city lord to become Erin's servant, then the person you want to listen to orders is Erin." I want you and others to figure this out. ”

Selena's expression was even more ugly.

"And you don't have to worry about me arranging for you to do something for me...... If there is an arrangement, I will let Erin arrange it for you directly. Sun Chenghuan said again, and then waved his hand at Selena, meaning, you can go out.

That's very straightforward, you're not satisfied with Erin's plan to arrange for you to listen to me, right? Okay, I'll let her order you directly, anyway, it's not that difficult for me......

Selena lowered her head and obediently withdrew.

"Do you think she will go back to the city lord to sue you?" asked Sun Chenghuan with a smile.

"Definitely ......" Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile, "I guess she didn't want to come to your side in the first place." ”

"Nonsense, it's better to follow the lord in Ornica than to go on an adventure in Astrana with the two of us. ”

"It's not because of this ......" Sun Chenghuan continued to shake his head, "you...... I'm still young, I don't understand. ”

"I'm young?" said Erin, who was immediately displeased.

Soon, though.

"Yes, I'm only seven years old, big brother, you tell me what I don't understand, okay?"

An innocent face.

Sun Chenghuan turned his head.

Calm......

"Didn't Uncle Reese say it when he left just now? This person is a person that the Lord of the City values very much, and has entrusted her with a very important task. Sun Chenghuan looked at the sky and said.

"Spy on me! I know that!" said Erin, who looked nonchalant.

"No, her mission is another. ”

"What?"

"Didn't you notice that she walked in a strange way?"

"The way you walk? I didn't pay attention...... What's wrong? What's wrong with the way you walk?"

“...... She must have slept with the lord last night. Sun Chenghuan thought about it for a long time before he came up with such an explanation.

Be quiet.

"What do you mean?" Erin knew that Sun Chenghuan was definitely not talking about something sexual.

"The lord of the castle must have worked very hard to get this woman pregnant......"

“...... Then come with me to Astrana and see if I'm going to die?" Erin's face turned strange.

She finally understood.

That curse!

"It could be like this. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "She must have to hide this matter well......"

"Are we going to take a pregnant woman on our way?" Irene sighed, helpless.

"Not necessarily. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "What if the city lord doesn't let this woman get pregnant?"

“...... Big brother, you're really getting weird......"

“......”
