The House of the Hounds.

That afternoon, Harrick was mopping the floor when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

After a while, a familiar voice came in: "Uncle Harrick, are you there?" ”

It's Lawson.

Harrick was in a good mood, and the worries that had been hidden for a while suddenly dissipated.

He laughed and said, "All the time, my friend, what do you want to drink?" ”

"Three glasses of mead."

With the voice, the dusty Lawson appeared at the door, and behind him, there was a bewitching girl Pesie and the golden spider girl Lilith.

Harrick was busy pouring his wine and didn't pay attention.

He handed the wine to Lawson first, then to Percy and Lilith.

Percy lifted the white veil under her hat and thanked her softly.

Her voice is crisp and delicate, listening to her ears, it is like a small hand rubbing her eardrums, which can rub a man's heart at once.

Harrick was shocked, and then looked up at Pethie.

At this glance, the whole person stayed in place, dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.

It took him a moment to come back to his senses, his thick beard trembling, and he raised his hand to point at Pesie, and turned his head to look at Rosen.

"Rosen, where did you find this great beauty?"

Rosen took a sip of honeyed wine: "Whitehorse, didn't I tell you that I was recruited by the temple to work in Whitehorse?" ”

"Oh~~ White Horse Town actually hides such a beauty, it's really true"

It was really a long time, but he couldn't find an accurate statement, and when he saw that Pesy was about to start drinking honey, he immediately raised his hand to stop it.

"Wait! Miss~ Wait! ”

Reaching out to retrieve the honey wine, he quickly replaced two fine crystal glasses, and took out the treasured moonshine from the bottom of the cabinet, opened it without hesitation, poured half a glass for Pesy and Lilith and handed it over.

"A young and beautiful girl should drink such good wine."

"Thank you." Percy took the glass and smiled at Harrick, almost fainting from his laughter.

Lilith was not surprised, and only drank seriously on the sidelines.

Rosen raised his hand and tapped on the table, jokingly, "Harrick, you're really forgetful." ”

Harrick came back to his senses and gave Rosen a blank look: "This guy swallows any wine in one gulp, it's too wasteful for you to have good wine." ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, and returned to normal, after all, he had been baptized by a large number of beauty paintings and had a lot of immunity.

Pouring himself a glass of honey wine, he asked, "Lawson, so it seems that the mission in Whitehorse is going well?" ”

"It's okay, I didn't encounter any major trouble, and I made a lot of contributions."

A necromantic demon servant who didn't update his knowledge in time, a samurai regiment who didn't know anything, is much easier to deal with than an evil god.

The two young ladies on the side were secretly speechless.

Two legions, thousands of soldiers, this is not a big trouble, so what is?

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem, and even one of the legions was wiped out by Lawson.

It can only be said that the world of the strong and the weak do not understand.

Harrick didn't delve into it: "It's okay if it's not troublesome, I'm really worried that something will happen to you during the time you're out."

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm very cautious. So. What about grain? ”

Harrick smiled and was about to speak, but looked at Percy and Lilith again, and swallowed back.

Rosen said: "It's okay, they will be my confidant intelligence officers in the future, and they can be fully trusted." ”

In this case, Harrick said: "All the cash has been spent, and I have only fifty crowns left in my pocket." ”

"By the way, I also advanced about 10,000 kroner with ten custom-made paintings, and received a total of about 600,000 dila of grain, all of which were coarse grains."

As he spoke, he turned back to his room, took a piece of paper and handed it to Lawson: "This is a list, which records the detailed location and quantity of grain. ”

Rosen glanced at it quickly, and his thoughts moved, and the list in his hand spontaneously combusted without fire.

"I remember, the list is useless. Uncle, if you have a backup, destroy it. ”

600,000 dilas, equivalent to 6,000 tons of coarse grain, enough for 30,000 people to eat openly for half a year, enough for use.

And 15,000 kilograms of Lang is not expensive, after deducting the cost of warehouse storage, a pound of coarse grain costs less than a few coppers.

Harrick shrugged: "Just a list, ruined by you." ”

Serious things are agreed.

Lawson pointed at Percy and Lilith again: "Let's open a room for them later, and we will live here for a while in the future."

Harrick laughed, "Then it has to be the best room."

Rosen added, "Uncle Harrick, I'm going to open a gallery of beautiful paintings. Of course, the scale is very limited, less than half of the custom painting in the auction. ”

He discussed with the two girls last night, and felt that it was not realistic to open a brothel in Silvermoon Fort to collect intelligence, and it was easy to have a conflict of interest with Bilgu.

It is better to give full play to Rosen's strengths and open the external camouflage of the gallery as an intelligence center.

Harrick was stunned: "Gallery, oh, that's a great idea."

"What's such a brilliant idea?"

A rough voice came from outside the door, followed by another sound: "Huh~ Moonlight Horse, is Rosen back?" ”

It was none other than Shabolai.

Rosen replied loudly: "Uncle, you came at the right time. ”

"Aha, it's time. Huh~ This tsk~~~ah~ is such a beauty?! ”

"Could this be a spell illusion that came out of Lawson's painting?!"

As soon as Shabolai arrived at the door, his eyes were attracted by Pethie's back, and when Pesy turned his head to look at him, he was immediately stunned, his knees trembled, and he fell to his knees with a 'poof'!

That's just too much.

Rosen frowned and said, "Uncle, after so much time, your injuries are still not healed?" ”

But with the red light on his face, and his chubby body that is a little stronger than before, he can't see the weakness of the injury at all.

Shabolai ignored Lawson and took a few steps on his knees on the ground, his big eyes glued to Pesse.

"Lawson ~ Tell me, what is the name of the girl in this painting?"

"This is Miss Pessy, from Whitehorse, you should have heard of it."

Xia Bolai was slightly stunned, and his face showed a hint of sobriety: "Peachy. Whitehorse Town. The Nightingale will be. I remember. ”

"I've always heard that the president of the Nightingale Club is a supreme beauty, but now that I look at it, the rumors are really true!"

Since it is a real person, it would be unseemly to kneel on the ground again.

Standing up and awkwardly patting the dust off his knees, he hurried to the counter with a smile on his face like a male cat in heat.

"Miss Pesie."

Percy smiled faintly, "Mr. Shabolai, you don't have to be courteous to me. ”

"There are two reasons for this. First, you're too short, half a head shorter than me. Second, I have followed Master Lawson all my life. ”

Lilith also said, "Me too."

'Poof~~~'

Shapole was drinking the honey wine handed by Harrick, and almost spit out his heart and liver from his mouth when he heard the words, his round face was flushed, and his thick lips trembled uncontrollably.

"This, this. This. Hey~ Why can't I grow taller! ”

He slapped himself the thigh, looking frustrated.

Rosen spread his hands: "Uncle, have you forgotten Miss Canya?" ”

Speaking of Canya, Shabolai's face suddenly straightened.

"How is that possible? Miss Cania is the moon in my heart, and my love for her is pure and unblemished. ”

Percy covered her mouth and smiled, and then roughly told the story of Whitehorse.

After finishing speaking, she said seriously: "From the moment Master Lawson helped me complete my revenge, I swore in my heart that I would follow him for the rest of my life. ”

After hearing these things, Xia Bolai suddenly put away his joke and said in a condensed voice: "So that's the case, Miss Pesse, please forgive me for Meng Lang before." Rosen, then you have to treat her well. ”

"Of course I will."

After taking a sip of the honey wine, Rosen repeated to Shabol about the opening of the gallery: "Uncle, Harrick, do you have any good places to recommend to me?" ”

Xia Bolai shook his head: "I don't know this, I am now a first-class guerrilla general, and I am in charge of six teams of Silver Moon Rangers, and I am busy training all day long." ”

"Oh, by the way, Watson, they're all alive. After receiving our warning, they took a long detour to get out of danger, and now they are my right-hand men. ”

Rosen was genuinely happy: "Oh, that's a great thing. It's worth a toast. ”

can manage six teams of Silver Moon Rangers, and he is already a middle and high-level officer.

"yes, cheers!"

The three men drank the honey in one gulp, and Pesie and Lilith's moonshine was much stronger, and Ben was about to drink it dry, but was stopped by Lawson.

"Just take a sip."

After a toast, Harrick said: "Rosen, do you remember the beginning of the studio, the rich businessman who received a dozen of your paintings in one go was not enough, and specially asked you to order them?" ”

Rosen vaguely remembered what Harrick had said to himself, but he couldn't remember the details, but there was a diary of his adventures, so he looked through the past records in deep thought.

Soon found the corresponding memory: "I remembered, just that dry water transport trade, there are more than a dozen big ships, called. It's called Candela. Lawrence's guys. ”

Harrick slapped his thigh: "Yes, it's him!" That guy is very rich, and it is said that the net profit is more than 50,000 kroner a year. ”

As soon as they heard this, the other four nodded at the same time: "Fifty thousand crowns a year, that's really rich." ”

The net profit of 50,000 kroner a year is equivalent to the annual income of the earth in hundreds of millions.

The most important thing is that people have been making money for many years and must have accumulated a lot of assets, so they are a rare tycoon.

"He has purchased a lot of good real estate in Silvermoon Castle, and many of them are idle. Let's talk to him for cooperation, and he will definitely welcome it. ”

Rosen was happy, but he didn't like to do odd jobs to find a storefront because it wasn't his forte.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order for such a gallery to operate normally, it must have the cooperation of the temple."

"So, I'm going to go to the temple in the afternoon and get the permit out."

"I'll leave the matter of the store to you, and I'll report my name when the time comes."

In addition to the storefront permission, he also had to report to the officiant and receive the reward for the mission.

Considering that Harrick had no money, Rosen took out 500 crowns from his pocket, which was a thank you gift from Canretto.

300 for Harrick's emergency, and 200 for the two daughters as living expenses.

Shabolai also wanted to join in the fun, but in the middle of speaking, he slapped his head hard.

"It doesn't seem to work, I have to go to the barracks for training in the afternoon."

After saying that, he looked depressed.

"My aunt specially instructed me to train for six hours a day, and if I don't train for a day, I will deduct all the monthly gold for that month."

The standard monthly gold of a first-class guerrilla general was 30 crowns, but the count deducted most of it, leaving only 10 crowns.

Even if it's 10 crowns, you have to be careful, and if you slack in training, you will have to deduct money.

In short, he has a chic heart now, but he has no money and no time.

Rosen was curious: "Uncle, I also gave you a lot of money when I sold paintings, why don't you have any money?"

Shabolai sighed: "Don't mention it, I haven't seen that money, it was all taken away by my aunt, and she said that she would save it for me."

This is indeed miserable, but it can also be seen that the count attaches great importance to Chapole, and he has turned a swinger into a super mom and a man.

From this detail, Rosen already sensed something, and he and Harrick secretly glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

After finishing the matter, Rosen said, "Let's settle down for the two young ladies first."

Harrick immediately said, "Come with me, and live in the best suite on the third floor." ”

He turned to the two women and said, "Although my house is a little slanted, I have carefully reinforced it, and it is very safe." ”

Percy nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Mr. Harrick." ”

Obviously it was just a very ordinary etiquette thanks, and Pethy's expression was also serious, but it just exuded a breathtaking style.

Harrick almost lost his temper again, and secretly said in his heart: "Tsk~ I have to stay away from this girl in the future, it's really terrible!"

Lilith was once again ignored as a transparent person, and was a little saddened when she found that Lawson was looking at her, his dark blue eyes were very gentle, with a hint of a smile.

Seeing that he found his gaze, he winked at her.

Lilith's heart suddenly felt sweet, and the loneliness dissipated without a trace.

Although I wasn't as good-looking or smart as Pesie, I met my master before she did, and he trusted me more, hehe. ’
