Chapter 214: The Noble Night Banquet [Third Update]
Viola held a notebook from a nearby desk and sat next to Watson to write down some of Brooke's points. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Now that Watson is going to become the president of the demon hunting branch on Kandas's side, then she will automatically become the president's secretary and girlfriend from Watson's assistant and girlfriend, and some work still needs to be familiar in advance.
"It's really good, like when I was young, I just didn't have this idea, so now I'm so old and still an old bachelor...... Haha, you have to cherish it, by the way, there is another big thing, if you have time recently, help the guild to find a chamber of commerce to cooperate, because the chamber of commerce that cooperated with us before said that it was too chaotic here, so I withdrew from Kandas, but the goods in the guild still have to find a place to sell. ā
Demon hunters will harvest some monster parts during the mission, some of which can be used as alchemy materials, and some can be used as collectibles after processing.
Speaking of which, Watson naturally remembered Lea of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce, not long ago she was still saying that she hoped to cooperate with the Demon Hunting Guild, and now the opportunity is not coming.
Brooke left the guild after explaining some things one after another, although he was not in charge of the affairs of the Demon Hunting Guild, but he still said that he would not leave Kandas, and would stay here for a short time, and if Watson had any difficulties in something, he could ask a few old employees in the guild to come to him for help.
By the way, the Demon Hunting Guild also has its own management, and although they manage the daily operation of the entire guild, they are almost all ordinary people, and it is not that they don't want to let the Demon Hunters take the position, mainly because even the position of the president, which is usually idle and has not a lot of power, has to be forced to take up the post, not to mention those professions that are busy all day long without touching the ground.
After Brooke left, Watson immediately called the management of the guild together and got to know each other, in fact, the main thing was to figure out what their job was, and it would be convenient to find someone if he had anything to do in the future, and finally Watson came to a conclusion, that is, he seemed to be quite easy as the president.
What he really has to do is largely what a security guard has to do, that is, to protect the Demon Hunting Guild from any threats and provocations from external forces, once there is a war with other forces, he will be the core combat force of the guild, and in normal times, what he needs to worry about is some difficult tasks to solve, such as the large number of Darktide fishmen on the port side of the harbor mentioned by Brooke before.
As for the day-to-day operation of the guilds, it can be completely handed over to the management of these guilds to complete, when he has time to come over and check it out, to make sure that they don't have any small actions to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and in this regard, they basically don't dare, the advantage of using ordinary people as management is that once they betray the Demon Hunting Guild, it will be easy to arrest these people.
With Viola on the side and all their names and responsibilities, Watson finally left the administrator of the sales of the goods, and told him to go to the Chamber of Commerce, and talk directly to Lea in his name, and ask them to help sell some of the guild's goods.
After explaining all these things, Watson also left the Demon Hunting Guild, and the president of the Demon Hunting Guild does not stay in the guild every day, after all, although there is housing in the Demon Hunting Guild, it is also similar to a hotel, and the president can't be allowed to live in this kind of room.
So each president would have his own house closest to the guild as a place to live, and the money for the purchase of the house would be spent from the guild's property, and Brooke had already done all this before Watson arrived, telling him where the house was and leaving the key.
The house was not far from the main street where the guild was located, and it was only about ten minutes' walk away, and when Watson arrived at the door, he found that this house was actually a small villa, much more elaborate than the one he had in Verdas before, and the furniture in it had already been arranged, and when he went upstairs, he looked at it, and even the beds and other things had been neatly stacked there.
Walking up and down, looking at the whole house, Viola took out the suitcase from the shaded space, sorted the contents into categories, and then began to arrange some things according to the original house, trying to make the layout of the house look like the two of them had in Erien's home.
After a busy morning, the two finally settled down on the Candas side, and in the afternoon, Watson planned to take Viola for a walk around the Candas to familiarize himself with the environment here, but the guild called temporarily, saying that the nobles on the Kandas's side had a drinking party tonight, and hoped that the newly appointed president of the Demon Hunting Guild would be able to go.
Watson also wanted to see the local forces in the Candas region as soon as possible, and he had a good bottom in his heart, now that he had such an opportunity, there was naturally no reason to refuse, not to mention that the intermediary on Erien's side before coming also reminded him to have contact with the local forces here, although he couldn't establish a good relationship with them, but he couldn't make them feel that the Demon Hunting Guild was hostile to them.
Going out to hang out, the urban environment of Candas is not very good, probably because there are too many cars and horses, which makes Watson feel that there is some chaos here, plus some scattered catches that can often be seen on the roadside, after walking around the street for about an hour, after walking around some shops around his home, Watson still took Viola directly to the Taobao market.
The scale of the Taobao market here is not small, going back and forth, Watson has to sigh that the port city is worthy of being a port city, and many of the professionals here set up stalls to sell things in the sea, such as some low-level monster corpses in the sea, which can be said to be quite good seafood ingredients.
The dumplings were also very excited when they came here, and from time to time stretched out their claws to touch the large marine fish in the big buckets, and Watson simply thought that he would buy a few more beautiful marine fish and raise them back, just to find some fun for the dumplings.
So when the two of them came out of the Taobao market, it was actually more like a seafood market, and their hands were already full of things, Watson was holding several brightly colored sea fish, while Viola was holding a few wriggling sea cucumbers in her hands, and in her shadow space there were two low-level underwater monsters that had just been hunted and brought up from the ocean, and their appearance looked quite similar to lobsters.
On the way back, Watson also went to buy a fish tank for them to deliver to his home, and finally put the fish tank on a counter next to the hall of his home, put the fish in his hand, and the dumplings immediately jumped on the counter, watching the sea fish swimming inside through the glass.
Viola ran into the kitchen with the ingredients, saying that she was going to make a seafood feast, but because Viola didn't know how to cook, the lunch between the two of them was forced to eat until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
During this period, Watson wanted to go into the kitchen several times to help, but was pushed out by Viola, saying that he was not allowed to enter the kitchen in the future, and all the food had to be made by her, the hostess, so Watson could only sit back in front of the sofa obediently and continue to drink milk tea and listen to the radio.
One person, a large lobster monster and a big bowl of seafood soup, not to mention, the texture of this monster meat itself is indeed quite good, even if it is cooked by a pseudo-chef like Viola, it is delicious, anyway, in the end, these meats all fell into the stomachs of the two and two monsters.
By the time they had packed up, it was almost five o'clock, and the nobles' dinner party had started at six o'clock in the evening, and Watson and Viola had put on their Demon Hunter trench coats and hailed a taxi at the door to rush to the Brown family's estate.
The Brown family, as the ruling family on the side of Candas, did not build the manor in the center of the city, and the reason why Watson thought it was because the environmental governance in the city on the Candasside was really lacking, so the Brown family would see the manor near Candas.
However, after arriving outside the manor, Watson understood the real reason, that is, the Brown family's manor is too big, if it has to be built in the center of Candas, I don't know how much land will be wasted, it is obviously just a family in charge of a medium-sized city, but the manor has been built to an area similar to that of the Flender family in the inner ring of Irion.
Although it is certainly not as good as the wealthy Flender family in terms of the delicacy and beauty of the house, the key is that this manor is really huge, Watson stood in front of the door and looked inside, the main house of the Brown family is said to be a villa, more like a large castle, the height must be about twenty or thirty meters, and there are many small houses around the main house, probably where some slaves in the manor live.
At this time, the periphery of the manor was already full of all kinds of luxury cars, a large number of nobles or merchants dressed in gorgeous clothes and carrying gift boxes in their hands were constantly entering the manor under the guidance of the waiters......
However, after seeing the clothes on the two of them, these people who were originally a little disdainful on their faces immediately automatically converted into flattering smiles, the Demon Hunting Guild is a top force no matter where it is, and it should naturally be respected as it deserves.
Seeing the situation here, the housekeeper at the gate of the manor didn't care about entertaining those guests, and quickly ran to Watson's side, first taking the waiter behind him to a ninety-degree bow, and then said respectfully: "It is a great honor to invite Lord Watson to visit, please allow me to take you to meet the owner of Brown Manor, the current head of the Brown family, Alder Brown." ā
"Hehe, you've gathered a good amount of information, and you know my name so quickly, but I don't seem to have any gifts in store...... There shouldn't be any problem. ā
As the president of the Kandath Demon Hunting Guild, Watson came over this time to represent the entire Demon Hunting Guild here, and if he wants him to prepare gifts, this Brown family alone is naturally not qualified.
"No, no, no, we are already very surprised that you can accept the invitation to the banquet of Master Alder, how dare you ask for your gift. ā
So Watson swaggered past the next procession under the escort of the butler and a group of attendants, and went directly into Brown Manor through the side passage, towards Alder's residence......
