"Smack!" Claire slapped little Ivan on the head.

"At a young age, what do you think, can't you learn something?"

As she spoke, Claire's gaze swept over several other curious soldiers, who hurriedly pretended to be indifferent, but pricked up their ears one by one to eavesdrop.

Little Ivan, who was slapped in the face, looked aggrieved, rubbed his head and said.

"I thought you were looking for Mrs. Cathy—" Seeing Claire's eyes widen, little Ivan omitted what he wanted to say. So is the adult's business done? ”

Errands? Several soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.

I didn't expect the Baron to be so handsome, in this regard... Alas, maybe that's the price of being handsome. For a moment, the soldiers felt that it was nothing if they were not handsome.

How does it sound weird, Claire still wants to shoot little Ivan again, but the other party has already taken precautions to dodge.

"It's okay, I'll talk to my wife. Whatever Mrs. Cathy wants, you try to accommodate. ”

"Don't worry." Little Ivan patted his chest and promised. "I'll keep it a secret for Lord Cathy and Lady Cathy."

As he spoke, little Ivan looked at several soldiers.

Several soldiers hurriedly spoke.

"Don't worry, no one has been here today."

"We don't know anything."

Claire was speechless for a while, what a mess, don't ruin my reputation, I'm still innocent.

"Don't talk nonsense, be respectful to Mrs. Cathy, in the future, she will be the first teacher in our territory."

Teacher? Little Ivan doesn't know why, does the Baron have any strange fetishes?

When Claire saw Little Ivan's expression, she knew that the other party wanted to be crooked again, so she didn't bother to explain, shook her head, and left first.

Mom, what's wrong with the people in this world, women are all enthusiastic and difficult to deal with, why are children young and don't learn well, thinking about these dirty things.

Alas, the road to educating the world is a long way to go.

......

More than ten miles away from Tilling Town, a mercenary team of about two hundred people was approaching.

"Miss Lin, we're about to arrive in Tiling Town, so let's go separately." The leader of the Agni Mercenary Regiment looked at Lin with a sincere face, and his heart was full of bitterness.

I knew that I wouldn't take this order.

The Agni Mercenary Regiment, commissioned by Claire, is ready to go to Tilin Town and follow Claire's arrangement. Originally, the generous remuneration made him, the head of the regiment, ecstatic and felt rich.

The Agni Mercenary Group is not small, with more than one hundred and sixty people, but in Three Rivers City, it is just an ordinary medium-sized mercenary group with a small reputation. This time, Claire's high-priced commission only needs to assist in guarding Tilling Town for half a year, and there is a remuneration of 2,000 dinars, which is almost their income for two years.

Although mercenaries are generally reluctant to participate in wars between nobles, the money is in place, and everything is easy to say.

What's more, there was also an elite mercenary group, the Good Luck Mercenary Group, who took on the mission with them this time, and the average strength of the members was above the second order, which made him feel that the hope of being able to retreat was much greater.

Everything was fine, Baron Claire paid the deposit, and there was no danger on the way, who would have thought that an uninvited guest would have to follow them to Tilin Town, which made Barth, the leader of the Fire Mercenary Regiment, depressed, and frightened all the way.

The one who came with the mercenary group was naturally Baron Linde's sister Lin. After hearing that Claire had gone to Tilling, she took two maids and three guards with her, so Lynn went straight to Tilling.

After meeting the mercenaries, Lin generously paid her 100 dinars to escort her to the town of Tilling.

For the Agni Mercenary Group, this is completely an extra mile sent to the door, but Brother Lin's identity makes them hesitate. As the commander of Count Wright, Baron Lind is not weak in his own family, and he is deeply valued by Count Wright and has considerable influence in Trois-Rivières.

And the rumors of Lin and Claire, the leader of the Agni Mercenary Regiment, Bart has also heard about it, and this is to let Baron Linde know, he will definitely not blame his sister, and the Agni Mercenary Regiment will suffer.

You must know that the Agni Mercenary Group is a local mercenary group, and most of them live in the sphere of influence of Three Rivers City, once they offend Baron Linde, let alone whether the business will be good or not in the future, and even the safety of their lives cannot be guaranteed.

But they did not accept the escort request, in case Miss Lin had three long and two short, and Baron Lind knew about it, they also had no good fruit to eat.

So, Bart gritted his teeth and tearfully agreed.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Tilling Town, which was already under Claire's control, and seeing that there was no danger, Bart naturally wanted to get rid of Lynn's hot potato.

"Captain Bart, it's not right for you to do this." Before Lin could speak, the maid on the side couldn't help but speak. "Miss's commission is to escort us to Tilling, but we haven't arrived at Tiling yet, so you're going to deduct the money."

Deductions? Not to mention deducting money, as long as Lin goes to Tilin Town by herself, and it has nothing to do with the Agni Mercenary Group, then Bart will post the money for free.

"Yes, yes, it's our fault, we will double the commission, I don't know what Miss Lin thinks." Bart endured the pain and said with a sincere face.

"No need!" Lin waved her hand generously. "I'm not short of money, so it's the last part of the road, and Captain Bart will work hard."

"This..."Bart looked confused, but seeing Lynn's resolute look, he knew that there was no play again. How difficult the little girl in front of him was, he had already learned along the way, and he had no hope of persuading the other party at all. This time, it's just a try.

"Alas... All right. With a frustrated face, Bart left Lynn's carriage and walked towards Norman, the leader of the Good Luck Mercenary Regiment, who was resting on the side.

Norman saw his expression, immediately understood what was happening, and teased.

"I really envy Captain Bart, there are people who send money on the way, this kind of good thing, why can't our Good Luck Mercenary Group meet it?"

"Go, go, go." Bart walked over to Norman and sat down against the tree. "Do you want money? You want me to give it to you. ”

"Tsk. Atmosphere! Norman pulled out a water bladder, filled it with spirits, took a sip, and handed it to Bart. It's okay, no, I'll take care of it for you. What are you afraid of Baron Linde, our Good Luck Mercenary Regiment is not afraid. ”

Norman spoke confidently, as if he didn't take Baron Lind to heart at all.

"Ahh

"I really envy you, but it's a pity that I'm not as big as you, I'm not old, and I'm just a little bit away from the high-level threshold, if I have your strength, what kind of mercenary will I be, go to the big nobles, and mix up a title."

"Hahaha." Norman laughed and snatched the water bladder. "This is the reason why you and I were about the same strength at the beginning, and now there is a gap in strength, you think about those mundane things every day, and I think about how to own your own strength."

"Really?" Bart was noncommittal. "How much did it cost that Baron Claire to ask you this time, I remember you haven't been commissioned for a long time."

Norman chuckled and continued drinking. "Oh, it has nothing to do with him, it's just a matter of selling face to an old friend's heir."

"I see." Barter nodded. "And what do you think of this Baron Claire? Whether it's worth the investment. ”

"Very interesting young man." Norman smiled. "At the very least, I'm very bold, I just laid down a territory, and I want to expand, well, I don't know if it's self-confidence or death."

"What expansion?" Bart was taken aback. "Isn't the mission tasked to defend Tilling?"
