Chapter Seventy-Three: Invitation

Ronald didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he originally thought that he needed to take the members of the group to do one or two short missions to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect Timos to be able to contact the people of the Prescott family directly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What I didn't expect was that the Prescott family just needed a mercenary group.

Ronald had a feeling of being favored by the goddess of fate.

With the help of Timos, the news of the Winter Mercenary Group was quickly delivered to the Prescott family through some channel.

It didn't take long for a letter to reach the White Eagle Mercenary Regiment's headquarters.

The person who sent the letter was a descendant of the Prescott family, and the letter was signed by the name of a foreign deacon of the Prescott family.

Even if you want to hire a mercenary group, this kind of trivial matter does not need to be personally handled by the rulers of the Prescott family, and naturally the following housekeepers and deacons will handle it properly.

The letter was handed directly to Ronald, who opened it and wrote very briefly in beautiful font.

"Commander, what is written in the letter?" asked Cullen, with some curiosity.

The nobleman's letter, which made Cullen feel a little excited, because he had never seen such a thing.

Ronald folded the letter and smiled: "It says that we are invited to the Winter Mercenary Regiment to attend a party tonight at the Prescott family's manor outside the city. ”

"Gathering?" Cullen blinked, his face confused.

"The aristocracy's favorite tricks, unless it is a very personal conversation, are like to have a party or something, one is to show their wealth, and the other is to show respect to the guests. ”

"However, this letter only informs us that the Winter Mercenary Group can go together, but it doesn't say that only one of us is invited, so there should be other mercenary groups who have also received the same invitation. ”

Cowan frowned, looking at Ronald with some confusion: "Invited us to the party, but didn't just call us...... What the hell do they mean by that?"

"Meaning, the Prescott family is in trouble. Ronald put the letter close to him, looked at the two of them and said, "The letter says that each regiment commander can bring four people to accompany him, and tonight in addition to the two of you, call five more clever people to go with him." 2 people followed, and 3 were outside ready to answer. ”

"Commander, do you want to bring a weapon?"

"Take it, but you can't bring it into the party, let the brothers outside keep it first. ”

"Commander, will there be too few people to pick up?" Cullen looked at him with some concern.

Ronald understands Cullen's concerns, nothing more than the fear that this party has another purpose, and if it is a conspiracy of the Prescott family, it will be dangerous. After all, Scott is still in their hands, and if the news leaks, it will bring disaster to them.

But, after all, this is Marz Greyburg, and if the news does leak, then they probably will not receive a letter.

"There's no need to worry too much, Scott, we're in a good position, and the human skin mask on his face isn't so easy to see. Ronald said as he soothed them.

Ronald was right, it didn't take long for the Prescott family's invitation to spread throughout Marz Greyburg, and any mercenary group of some size and strength had received the same letter.

What exactly does the Prescott family want to do?

Are the Prescotts in any trouble?

These two issues are probably the most discussed by the mercenaries today.

As night fell, Marz Greyburg rarely closed the city gates, and almost every mercenary group of a certain size sent people out of the city to participate in the party at the manor outside the city.

The flow of people gathered, and a lot of mercenaries soon gathered on the way out of the city.

Everyone seemed to be quite familiar, greeting each other and asking for information that they didn't know. During this period, the White Eagle Emperor Mos was the most popular, because of his strength and generous personality, he had a lot of friends, and the mercenaries around him accounted for more than half of the people who went to the party.

To Ronald's surprise, the other half was surrounded by a tall woman with curly blond hair and a black armor. After questioning, it was revealed that this woman was the leader of the three-headed dog mercenary group - Natasha Gloria.

The White Eagle and the Three-Headed Dog are both the two mercenary groups of Marz Greyburg, but unlike the newly rising White Eagle, the Three-Headed Dog is an old mercenary group. It was originally created by Natasha's grandfather, and it was just a small and medium-sized mercenary group with dozens of people. Later, it began to rise in the hands of his father, and it only took ten years to turn the three-headed dog mercenary group into the strongest mercenary group of Marz Greyburg.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of the White Eagle Emperor, the three-headed dog would still be the largest mercenary group.

And the reason why Timos was able to rise rapidly in just a few years is also because there are no men in the generation of the Gloria family, only Natasha is a woman.

In the mercenary world, although women are not despised, as the leader of the largest mercenary group in Marz Greyburg, they are inherently a little less intimidating.

"Don't underestimate her, this woman is very difficult to mess with. Timos noticed Ronald's gaze, smiled slightly, and reminded in a low voice.

To be able to become the leader of the three-headed dog, naturally it will not be an ordinary person, and Ronald will not simply underestimate someone because of his gender.

"I didn't expect the leader of the three-headed dog mercenary group to be such a beauty. Ronald said.

"A beautiful woman, indeed, but a rose with thorns. ”

Timos looked at her from afar, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Ronald's heart moved, he looked at the handsome Timos, and then at Natasha, his expression was abrupt.

One is handsome, the other is beautiful, and he is the leader of the two mercenary groups of Marz Greyburg, so it is no wonder that such an excellent man as Timos will be tempted.

Whether it is appearance, strength or power, Natasha is undoubtedly a woman worthy of him.

But listening to the words of Timos, it seems that she has suffered at the hands of this woman, otherwise she would not be said to be a thorny rose.

"There's a thorn, just pull it out! After you pull out the thorn, it's not still a rose. Ronald looked at him with a smirk.

Timos smiled slightly: "It is called a rose only if there are thorns, and without thorns, there is only one flower left." ”

The manor is not very far from the outside of the city, and walking along a specially built road, it only takes half an hour to see the outline of the manor, and from a distance, the lights are bright.

In front of the gate of the manor, there were already two rows of maids standing respectfully, and in the center was an old man with a thin body, full of white hair, and a face full of old wrinkles, but his body stood straight.

The old man was wearing a black butler suit, looking steady and low-key.

"Don't underestimate him, this old man is one of the chief deacons of the Prescott family, and it is said that he was already at the silver level forty years ago, but he has never had a chance to break through to the gold level. ”

Timos explained in a low voice.

"Silver?" Ronald's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the Prescott family's heritage.

"One of the deacons, how many deacons are there?" Ronald asked, lowering his voice.

"There are three deacons in total, the one in front of me is called Deborah, who is the chief deacon in charge of external affairs, there is also a chief deacon who is in charge of internal affairs, and the chief maid who is in charge of women. ”

With that, everyone had already walked to the gate of the manor.

Timos lowered his posture and stepped forward, handing over a gift list that had been prepared: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the chief deacon is still so energetic." ”

Deborah took the gift list, handed it to a servant on the side without looking at it, and said with a smile: "Little Timos is also very energetic." ”

Timos Jr. ......

When Ronald heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. However, when I thought that the old man in front of me was already a silver-level master forty years ago, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with calling him so.

Even putting aside his status as the head deacon of the Prescott family, this old man is qualified enough to talk to Timos on an equal footing.

Deborah looked at Ronald with a kind smile on his face: "This is the leader of the Winter Mercenary Regiment, right?"

Ronald stepped forward and handed over the prepared gift list, the gift was temporarily for Cullen to take someone to buy, it was not valuable, it was just a heart.

"When we first met, the chief deacon called me Morton. Ronald lowered his posture, not for the identity of the other party's deacon, but for the other party's silver-level strength.

"Please come in. Deborah glanced at Ronald, took the order, and sideways out of the way.

Timos and Ronald stepped into the manor.

Since it is a manor, it will naturally not be a militarized structure, everything is according to the standards of the nobility, and it is extremely luxurious and enjoyable.

Gardens, grass, cobblestone pavement, European-style four-storey building......

It is also a shame that the Prescott family was able to find such lush flowers to plant in the manor during this harsh winter, not to mention the construction and annual maintenance costs of the manor, this garden alone is worth a lot of money.

"It's really a noble manor, it's extremely luxurious. Ronald walked into the manor, looked at the surroundings, and said in admiration.

"I heard that the Prescott family invested a total of 170,000 gold coins in order to build this manor, and it took 7 years to complete it. Timos also looked at the manor's surroundings with envious eyes.

170,000 gold coins!!

Cowan and Cullen, who followed Ronald in, smacked their tongues one by one, and looked at a piece of grass on the ground, and their eyes seemed to glow with gold coins.

Since building a manor can cost a huge amount of 170,000 gold coins, it is easy to redeem a family descendant and spend 100,000 gold coins, right?

Cowan: The thought popped into their heads at the same time.

"Sure enough, blackmailing the nobles is the fastest way to get money, and the head of the regiment is too wise. ”
