Chapter 2: A False Alarm
Chapter 2: A false alarm
The mercenary union will not help the trainee mercenary to take the task, this is the rule, so as to whether Mino can join the team next, the girl can only say that she can't help, Mino is not surprised by this situation, after thanking the girl, Mino followed the address given by the girl to find the temporary residence of the big man.
Before walking to the courtyard gate, Mino hesitated for a while, but still took off the big sword on his back and inserted it into his coat pocket, before leaving, Kasha took great pains to attach an extremely rare sheath magic to this sword, so that this sword could be contained in any gap, as if it was inserted in the scabbard, in order to ensure that Mino would not be troubled by the size of this big sword when he went out, and now it came in handy.
Thinking that he was here to apply for a servant, although he didn't intend to hide his identity as a warrior and his main purpose, it was too noisy to carry a big sword that was taller than his own all the time, and he was afraid that it would bring a bad impression to the employer and affect his chances of success, so he still put away the big sword and replaced it with an ordinary standard long sword.
Bell ~ bell ~ bell ~
The courtyard door opened almost at the same time as Mino took his hand off the knocker, looking at the middle-aged soldier who leaned out of the crack in the door and looked at him politely but vigilantly, Minow, who had never done such a thing, pressed his unconfidence to the bottom of his heart, and politely expressed his intention.
"Hello sir, I have heard that you are looking for a temporary servant here, and I am here for an interview. ”
"We've handed this matter over to the mercenary guild, and I think they'll help us find the right person, so please come back. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged soldier was about to close the courtyard door, and seeing that the situation was not right, Mino hurriedly stepped forward to block the door, and then made his last effort under the unkind gaze of the middle-aged soldier.
"Sir, wait a minute, I'm from the Mercenary Guild. ”
"I'm afraid not, if you really received the task from the mercenary union, then you should show me the task list first, of course, it's not too late to get it, as long as you can take out the task list presented by the mercenary union, and then get the consent of the adult, then this paid job is yours. ”
For the other party's request, Mino had no choice but to smile bitterly, the big sister of the mercenary union was able to tell herself that the news was already benevolent, and it would be too greedy to think that the other party would officially hand over this task to herself who was neither a formal mercenary nor a professional servant, even if Mino looked cute, it was impossible for the family to risk losing the high-quality job of the mercenary union for the sake of herself, a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
"Sir, the city of Houston is no more prosperous than those prosperous cities, and the only qualified servants who can meet the requirements of your family are the city lord's family, and they are unless they are your family
The lord borrowed it from the lord of the city, otherwise it would be impossible to serve your lord, and if you don't do this, you must not want to trouble too much for this, so it is better to give me a chance, if I can meet the requirements, sir, you will save a lot of trouble. ”
Mino's words in a hurry did speak to the hearts of the warriors, if the mercenary union couldn't find someone on the side, he would be in trouble in the end, and the strength of the second-level Mino warrior was like transparent in the eyes of the warrior, he didn't have to worry about what Mino could do to his own adult, so the mid-level warrior thought about it, or let go of the body and let Mino in.
"In that case, then I'll give you a chance, but it's another matter whether adults look down on you or not, you must know that our lords' requirements are very strict. ”
Following behind the middle-level warriors, looking at the exquisite furnishings in the courtyard and the emerald green oriental green bamboo in the corner, Mino's already nervous heart couldn't help but lift up a few points.
Although the oriental green bamboo is not rare in the eastern part of the mainland, it takes a lot of effort to transplant it here, and the price is quite expensive, and this peculiar plant is not appreciated by ordinary people except for some really tasteful nobles, so this plant can be said to be quite rare in Houston City.
Even a temporary place to settle down can be arranged like this, which shows that this big man's taste and requirements are strict, and it is really very problematic whether a half-hung person like himself, who has never served anyone before, can enter the eyes of others.
Of course, no matter how worried he was, Mino didn't dare to show this, otherwise if the middle-aged soldier who led the way in front saw it, I am afraid that Mino's chance would be cancelled directly, and in that case, Mino's only remaining hope would be directly shattered, so Mino's palms were nervous and sweaty, and he could only pretend to be confident.
"Evan, who did you bring with you?" walked to the door of the room where the adult was, and before the leading warrior Evan could speak, a beautiful female voice came out of the room.
"This is the person who came to apply for a temporary servant, and I brought it to your lordship. Bowing to the door, Evan replied rather reservedly.
The people in the room didn't reply, but the door slowly opened, and Mino followed behind Evan, respectfully entered the room, and saw the so-called big man sitting in the middle of the room.
To be honest, Mino really didn't expect that this so-called big man would be a woman, and it was also a young and beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes and a beautiful face, and she knew at a glance that she was a young and beautiful girl with oriental ancestry, wearing a simple and elegant oriental dress, beautiful and beautiful.
Looking at the dignified and beautiful figure with long hair and waist, Mino really couldn't match it with the image of the white-haired old man he imagined before, and the gaze that fell on the girl was a little dull for a while.
After saluting and getting up, Evan saw that Mino was actually staring directly at his adult, and hurriedly pulled Mino to bow and salute, but from the only warning in his eyes and no anger, it could be seen that this girl's appearance was indeed extraordinary, so that Evan felt that it was natural for Mino to stare at his adult in a daze, and he was quite accustomed to it, and felt that there was nothing to condemn.
"Little one, you want to apply to be a temporary servant, can the concubine know why you are applying for this job?"
"Yes, sir. Looking at the girl's watery eyes looking at her, Mino suddenly felt a sense of guilt for lying in front of her for some reason, and unconsciously said the words in his heart, "I came here because I want to go to the royal capital by the way, my strength is low, and it is too dangerous to go to the royal capital alone, but the caravan that Houston City will go to the royal capital is not there, and I don't want to stay here to wait, so I can only come to the adults to try my luck." ”
"Oh, so that's the case, the motive is not pure, and it doesn't matter, but if you want to be a servant of the concubine, even if it's just temporary, not to mention anything else, the kung fu of making tea with one hand is still necessary, I don't know if you can make tea, little guy?" "It's a little bit, I used to learn some relevant knowledge when I used to brew it for my mother." “
After saying this, Mino suddenly realized that something was wrong, since his mother left, he was reluctant to mention his mother's affairs, let alone telling a stranger about his past, combined with the previous subconscious telling the truth, Mino felt that he was likely to be in a spell to charm humans, combined with the strange senses when he saw the girl's eyes before, Mino naturally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly collected his mind, lowered his head and avoided the girl's eyes. "If you can, let's give it a try. “
After speaking, the girl flicked her sleeves, and a delicate tea set appeared on the small wooden table on the side, and Minno was stunned for a moment.
It's actually space magic, although space magic is rare, but the low-level space magic of the storage type is not too rare magic, but when the girl took out something, Mino, who is a magician, didn't feel the slightest magic fluctuation, either this girl has a high-level storage magic props that are comparable to treasures, or this girl at least has a high-level space magic cultivation, no matter which one it is, the things shown here are really a little terrifying.
But these are not what Mino should be thinking about at the moment, he shook his head slightly, and threw out the distractions that should not be in his head, and Mino stepped forward to pick up the tea set and start brewing tea.
"The tea ceremony is not close to the sword soldiers, if you don't want to eliminate it directly, little guy, you should unload the blade first. ”
Before Mino could start moving, the black-haired girl suddenly said in a loud voice, the rules Mino had never heard of, but Mino didn't know the tea ceremony, so it didn't matter, she turned sideways and untied the long sword on her waist, and before Mino's movements, the black-haired girl spoke again.
"You have to untie it all, but you can't put it in dimensional space or something. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone could understand the true meaning, Evan who was standing on the side unsheathed his knife and stared at Mino, as long as Mino's movements were half wrong, I am afraid that what he was waiting for was his full blow.
Locked by Evan's qi, the hairs on Mino's body suddenly stood up, and the instinct of his body gave him an almost irrepressible urge to escape.
Fortunately, Mino's big sword was hidden just because it was inconvenient, and there was nothing unpleasant, since the other party had seen it, and because of this, Mino even pulled the big sword called Meteorite out of his pocket and gently put it on the ground.
For the appearance of the falling star, Evan on the side seemed quite uneasy, if he hadn't been stopped by the black-haired girl, I'm afraid he would have rushed up directly and cut down Mino, after all, when he came to see his own adult again, he secretly hid a weapon with such a rare magic, and no one would believe it if he wasn't an assassin.
However, after the black-haired girl appeared on the meteor, a glint suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Mino with interest for a while, and her inexplicable dark eyes looked directly at the hair on Mino's body, but before Mino couldn't bear the pressure, she put away her gaze, hooked her hand, and motioned for Mino to continue to come up to make tea.
Because the current atmosphere is really a little weird, the frightened Mino's already bad skills naturally can't be perfectly played, and the final result may not be much better than the tea brewed by ordinary people, watching the black-haired girl close her eyes after drinking the cup of tea, Mino is ready to be rejected and go on the road alone.
"The name of the concubine is Penglai Mountain Huiye, little guy, are you willing to be the temporary servant of the concubine?"
Looking at the black-haired girl, no, Penglai Shan Huiye handed the slender jade hand in front of him, this sudden turn of the peak, so that Mino couldn't help but be a little stunned, what the hell is going on, is this seemingly exquisite girl actually have ridiculously poor taste, but no matter what her taste is, at least her goal has been achieved, isn't it, Mino immediately took the left hand handed over by Penglai Shan Huiye, knelt down on one knee, and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand in strict accordance with aristocratic etiquette, and replied solemnly.
"My name is Mino, and I am willing to serve you. ”
