After Reagan went down, it didn't take long for a beautifully dressed girl to slowly push open the door, but she looked a little cramped and nervous.

"Lord Claire," Wendy whispered.

After noticing the other party, Claire also got up from her chaise longue and walked to the couch where she was entertaining, making an inviting gesture.

"Here, please take a seat."

Seeing that Claire was still as gentle as before, Wendy's hanging heart relaxed a little, and she walked to the sofa and sat down carefully.

She hadn't talked to Sophia about money before, and she was more respectful and grateful to Claire, but since Sophia had a conversation with her, Wendy realized that Claire was the noble person in her life, so now when she met Claire again, she was still a little panicked, for fear that she would accidentally make Claire unhappy.

Claire's gaze swept over her body, and now Wendy was a little different from the troubadour girl she had met on the street before, more confident, exuding a transcendent temperament from the inside out, and with her beautiful face, it was very attractive to some men.

However, Claire finally stopped on Wendy's hand, which she was holding a sculpture of a mermaid.

Seeing Claire's gaze, Wendy's smile turned a little red and she hurriedly explained: "I bought this statue when I entered Nafu City, and I thought it was very good-looking, and I also became popular because of the story of the mermaid, and the mermaid sculpture at the gate of the city is very beautiful!" I love ......" Wendy's voice grew smaller and quieter, but her face became redder and redder.

Now she can't wait to rub her face vigorously, she doesn't know what she just said! The preface doesn't match the afterword!

Claire smiled and said softly, "You weren't so nervous the last time we met, why have you seen a big scene, are you not used to talking to people alone?" ”

"No, no!" Wendy hurriedly raised her hands and shook them.

"That's good." Claire's gaze returned to the sculpture and asked, "How much did you pay for this sculpture?" ”

"A few silver coins...... Wendy nervously shook the statue in his hand, "It's heavy, it's still a mermaid sculpture, it's pretty good-looking and it's worth it." ”

Claire's eyes glanced at it a few times, and then recognized the material of the sculpture, made of black iron, but not too fine, it should be built by some ordinary blacksmiths in Nagin Town, and the cost should be the price of a dozen copper coins, because it is attached to the cultural attributes of mermaids, so it was sold at such a high price, and if it is an ordinary sculpture, the price is thirty or forty copper coins.

However, this also reminded Claire that she had neglected this aspect of the benefits before, and if she had time, she could guide the industry in Nagin Town and make it a pillar of industry, make the sculptures more elaborate and refined, and then sell them for a better price, and those who are willing to visit Naffu City will definitely be willing to spend some money to buy a souvenir when they go back.

Wendy saw Claire lost in thought and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this sculpture? ”

"Nope." Claire shook her head, and the sculpture was planned later.

Claire: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other in a while, and we often call you Master Wendy when we hear people call you." ”

"Thank you for that, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved what I am today." Wendy's face was a little red, it was like a person who had just reached the well-off level, and was praised by a rich man for being very rich, which was embarrassing.

Wendy continued: "So as soon as I heard from you, I rushed over. ”

"Thank you very much." Claire nodded: "I will give you the price of every performance you give according to your normal appearance fee"

Wendy hurriedly waved her hand again and said, "No, no, no!" I don't need to pay for the show! ”

"Huh?" Claire was puzzled at this time, in his opinion, his friendship with Wendy was not good enough not to take money.

At this time, Wendy became nervous again, her expression was a little flustered, her hand unconsciously brushed the hair around her ear, and hesitated for a while before saying, "That...... Do those words you said still count? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wendy said incoherently: "No, no, isn't it counting?" Is it still possible? It's not right, it's just ......" The more she said, the more unclear Wendy became, the words she just said seemed to be persecuting Claire, she didn't feel good and rude, but she couldn't think of any accurate words for a while, so she became more and more flustered.

Claire couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Wendy, who was so flustered, and asked, "What did I say?" ”

But it helped Wendy get out of the mess, "just... As you said, if I am interested, I can come to work in Nafu City, and you will arrange a related career for me. Do you remember? ”

Claire's eyes froze, and she looked into Wendy's eyes in some surprise, confirming from the other party's eyes that she was not joking, and then asked, "Really?" ”

Wendy nodded vigorously, "Really! ”

After getting the other party's exact answer, Claire was even more puzzled, he said this to the other party before the other party was not yet popular, at that time, it was indeed a good place for Wendy to come to Nafu City, and now Wendy is on fire in the entire kingdom, and the fire is beyond Claire's expectations, so he can't understand why Wendy still wants to work in Nafu City for a while.

"How much money do you make a month now?" Claire asked.

Wendy replied while thinking about it: "I've been touring the country for the past few months, and my income is not fixed, but it's about 150,000 gold coins a month. ”

Wendy is now considered the top of the pyramid in the troubadour industry, and this income has exceeded that of some small and medium-sized aristocratic families, you must know that Claire's family used to be a viscount family with a magic mine, and the annual income of Wendy alone exceeded that of a viscount family. However, only those at the top of the industry pyramid can make so much money, and most troubadours are still struggling to make ends meet.

Claire pursed her lips and said, "I can't give you that much money."

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't want that much money!" Wendy kept waving her hand, for fear that Claire would reject her, "I just want to work as a troubadour in Nafu City, it doesn't matter how much money you give." ”

"And what are you trying to do?" Claire asked.

"I just want to be a pure troubadour!" Wendy said firmly, a different kind of glint in her eyes.

Her first enlightenment was in a conversation with Sophia, and she understood that her popularity was not because of her own strength, but because fate pushed her to the person in front of her. And in the following months, her perception became even more profound, she was originally a troubadour who rose up from the civilian class, at first she was dazzled by the income of tens of thousands of gold coins a month, and some things that she usually wanted but couldn't afford are now within reach.

Later, when the income became more and more, with her knowledge, she didn't know how to spend all the money, and the income of 150,000 gold coins a month would increase several times according to her expenses, and she would not be able to use it up in this life. The money is getting more and more, and she is getting more and more confused, and every day when she wakes up, she arrives in a new city, repeating the performance of the mermaid princess that has been repeated countless times, and she feels that she is about to vomit.

In this repetitive performance, she forgot why she wanted to perform, and she forgot the meaning of her beginning, and she could no longer find the purest happiness in this job she loved.

Out of boredom, when she opened the storybook Claire gave her, Wendy felt that she had come back to life and found the happiness she had when she was poor, and she also reconfirmed that Claire was the noble person in her life, so after receiving Claire's letter, Wendy didn't want to wait at all, and immediately rushed over from the royal capital.
