Chapter 140: The Great Nobles [Second Update]

"Tell me, what do you need me to do with this enchanted equipment?"

Looking at Viola's pleading eyes, the words of refusal could not be said in Watson's mouth, and finally he could only nod silently and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Quite simply, I'd like to hire you to be Birdy's personal tutor to help her lay the groundwork before she enters professional school next January. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have that much time, I'm a demon hunter, I can't stay with Bertie for three months in a row and I don't have teaching experience, I guess it's better to leave the job of a private tutor to a professional. ”

Donald's request was something Watson couldn't meet, first of all, he couldn't waste three months on a little girl, and secondly, he didn't have any experience in teaching apprentices, and Maury taught him exactly like a demon hunter, and some of these methods naturally couldn't be used on this 11-year-old girl.

Viola lowered her head with some regret when she heard Donald's request, she also knew that this enchanted weapon was basically impossible to get, although she wanted these two daggers very much, but Viola also knew where Watson's bottom line was, and this kind of request to be a private teacher was absolutely impossible for him to accept.

Three months is too long, if you let your peers in the Demon Hunter Guild know that Watson, a demon hunter, wasted three months to be a nobleman's private tutor for an enchanted weapon, and the teaching object is still an 11-year-old girl, it is likely to cause a big blow to his reputation, after all, there has never been a precedent for a demon hunter to be a private tutor before, and the loss of this is not something that can be compensated for with one piece of enchanted equipment.

"Hehe, I also know that this is a bit of a strong man's difficulty, if it can't be Bertie's personal tutor...... So how about just coming and teaching her when you're free? As long as you're free, you can come and teach her some tricks and stuff, and I don't have to come on a certain day, but I just want to teach her for a total of 30 days?"

Hearing this, Watson almost understood what Donald meant, and it seemed that he had no intention of making himself Bertie's personal tutor, and that this was just a clever negotiating tactic, in order to make Watson feel at ease when he heard the second condition, and to have a feeling that it should be done.

This is just like the technique used by some savvy customers when bargaining with others in the store, to first say a lower price than the price of the product in their hearts, and then quote a higher price after the other party strongly refuses, after a few times the other party's psychological expectations will drop significantly, and finally say the price they want, the price that the original shopkeeper will not agree to at this time seems very tempting, so that the probability of success is naturally greatly increased.

The time period is extended from three months to an indefinite period, and the vague expression of the words "as long as there is free" seems to be Donald's compromise at first glance, but in fact, it is also a way to retreat into advance.

If Watson takes this matter, then he will naturally have to pay some attention to Bertie's side, and he will have to come once or twice when he has time.

As for the total of 30 days of instruction, don't forget that there is a pre-emptive period that is indefinite...... It's like having a good friend borrow money from you and tell you that no matter how long it takes, as long as you pay it back, can you really delay him for a few years?

"I have one last question...... What kind of professional does Miss Bertie want to be in the future? I think that as Mr. Donald's daughter, I am afraid that she is going to become a mage, I don't know a little bit about mages, can you really rest assured?"

To be honest, Watson had to admit that Donald's communication was successful, and his attitude had unconsciously begun to loosen a little, although it was not good for three months in a row, but he continued to teach...... He really had this time, and the Demon Hunter would have a period of vacation between each mission, and if he used this time, it should not be too difficult to complete Donald's request.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about this, I don't want Bertie to learn the composition of those magic arrays so early, all she needs now is to control her mental power, and all you have to do is come over every once in a while...... I don't think you have any problems in this regard. ”

Donald already had the answer to Watson's question in his heart, and said it without hesitation, so Watson had no reason to object, so he could only nod his head in agreement and let Viola put away the two daggers.

Both sides had achieved their goals, and each had received a lot of benefits, so it was a great joy for all, and finally in the farewell of the Donalds, Watson and Viola left the manor.

"Watson, how are you going to teach Bertie? You're a ranger, alas, people are going to be mages in the future, do you want to go to Marlena for help?"

Sitting in the taxi home, Viola happily played with the enchanted dagger in her hand and asked casually.

"Hah, do you think Donald really wants me to teach Bertie? All he wants is for me to be able to go to him often......"

Was the conversation between the two really just about teaching? Maybe there was something about it, but as Watson said, Donald valued his status as a demon hunter more than his skills, and the effects he had brought after he frequented the manor.

Donald said before that all he wanted Watson to do was to come to the manor every once in a while, because as one of Erion's big families, it is impossible for the Donald family not to be remembered, who can guarantee that there is no other family that wants to harm Bertie in the necklace that attracted the Dream Tapir today?

So what happens when the same Demon Hunter appears in Donald's house every once in a while? Will others think that Watson is a helper of the Donald family? Will some methods that can't be used on the table still get the desired effect?

If there is no way to deal with this demon hunter in the Donald family, then there is no need to use some methods, this will become a lot of people's thoughts, and this is what Donald really wants!

"Never underestimate those in power in aristocratic families, they may be weak, but each of them has gone through a lot of struggle to get to where they are today, and they think about much more than many people think......"

This is what Maury once warned Watson, and it wasn't until today, after talking to Donald, that Watson really understood what it meant. (To be continued.) )
