Day 2, in the afternoon.

The Sky Arena is in the mansion area of the floating island.

In a delicate and luxurious but classical Western-style building, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Midi and a plain white woman sat face to face.

The well-dressed old butler respectfully poured a cup of steaming black tea for each of them, and then bowed slightly, and stood behind the woman, as if he were her patron saint.

This woman is, of course, the youngest daughter of the president of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, Victoria Rothschild.

"Miss Victoria, I'm a rough man, if you have anything you want me to do, you might as well say it directly, as long as the price is right, I will definitely agree to it!" Midi took a sip of black tea, revealing a harmless sunny smile, and then got straight to the point.

Although the atmosphere in this room was extremely harmonious, at this moment, Midi was in good spirits, and he didn't dare to be negligent at all, and it could even be said that his attention was more concentrated than when dealing with the "Bloody Killing Sword" Ba Qiulan.

Because this room is also a battlefield, a battlefield without gunsmoke and blood, and purely a competition for brain power.

And Midi is on this battlefield, to be honest, the more amateurish kind.

After all, no matter how much he had dealings with the West Coast chambers of commerce, maritime families, and so on, Midi had never been a businessman, and he was not at all sensitive to money. What's more, this is not the West Coast, but the sky and the sea of clouds, and the way of trade is different, and Midi has basically not learned about it during this year's exploration.

It can be said that it is a completely unfamiliar field, so he has to be cautious, lest the key information run under his nose and he has not yet realized it.

Not only that, in order to make up for his disadvantage, Midi also deliberately delayed for a whole day, and after putting on a full posture, he slowly accepted Victoria's invitation to increase his value.

But even so, Midi still didn't dare to make any big deals.

Therefore, he can only come up and try to force the other party to enter his own rhythm and discuss it straight to the point, so as not to be surrounded by clouds and fog, and finally get nothing.

But since Victoria Rothschild was a professional, how could he be obedient to Midi's will?

The beautiful brown-haired and blue-eyed celestial woman smiled slightly, took a sip of black tea in an elegant manner, and then said: "Mr. Blade is really fast-talking, and I also admire your achievements very much, so I hope that you can serve as the route escort of our Rothschild Chamber of Commerce to deter those bold air thieves!"

Where there are commercial trade routes, there are roadblockers, which have nothing to do with the region, the environment, or the race, but are purely caused by the greed in the hearts of the intelligent races.

There are all kinds of bandits and wild bandits on the Arad continent, there are always many pirates on the west coast, and in the sea of clouds in the sky, of course, there are also air thieves. It is said that the large air pirate group, which even has more than ten airships, is even stronger than the human force that has only been in this place for a year.

"Empty thief...... Midi's eyes flickered.

"Of course, we are also very clear that the competition rules of high-level gladiators are once a month, and they must have a competition, otherwise they will be treated as missing the match and will be directly judged defeated. At this point, the Chamber of Commerce will not be embarrassed by Mr. Blade, and we will try to stagger the escort mission with your schedule, unless it is a special emergency...... However, that happens only once a year at most, and if you are absent, we will certainly compensate you adequately. ”

Victoria added in due course, in great detail.

"Also, Mr. Blade, you might as well take a look at whether this is the right pay. Victoria pushed another piece of platinum letter in front of Midi, and judging by her demeanor, she was clearly extremely confident in the price she had offered.

And the above numbers did surprise Midi slightly—this was at least ten times the income of the Sky Arena, and there were a lot of "Light Yinghua" that Midi needed, not powder, but spar particles!

Obviously, the other party has not only conducted a detailed investigation, but has already made plans for various situations, apparently to dispel all of Midi's doubts.

At this point, there is nothing left to fault for a normal high-ranking gladiator.

After all, after a hundred layers, although the income of high-level gladiators will increase, the expenses will also increase greatly, and the competition itself cannot maintain that huge expense, whether it is the resources required for training, communication, promotion, or even the salary of the servants needed to maintain the pomp, etc., it is a lot of expenses.

This is not something that can be supported by prize money and ticket sharing alone. Because of this, most of the high-level gladiators will look for power to rely on, and usually complete various tasks for the major power forces, or simply become their vassals.

Today, Victoria's offer is nothing to Midi Asrex, the ruler of Belmar, but it is quite good for the single-handedly human gladiator "Blade" he plays.

There is no reason not to agree.

However, after talking for a long time, almost all of them took the initiative, and Midi felt that he didn't seem to have touched the essence of the problem at all.

Of course, the too blatantly stupid question of "how did the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce enter the storm zone" impossible for Midi to ask, but at least, he had to find a way to open a breakthrough.

Otherwise, when the names of the two sides are settled, if you become a captain of the guard step by step, it will be troublesome to move, and you can only rely on espionage to obtain information.

Spies, which are considered a type of violence, are naturally at risk of being discovered, and if possible, Midi still prefers to use this method as little as possible.

"Miss Victoria, I am very satisfied with the conditions you offered. Midi coughed, and looked at the other party calmly with those dark eyes like ink, but there was a strong and powerful penetrating force in his sight, "It's just that because I'm very satisfied, I'm curious, why would I choose a drifter like me with unknown details?"

Hearing this, Victoria did not show any impatience, but a look of approval flashed in her beautiful turquoise eyes.

In the face of the favorable conditions of heavy hiring, he was not carried away or complacent, but was as calm as ever and asked key questions, which is not something that a mere gladiator can do.

This black-haired and black-eyed young man has moved away from the category of pure martial arts, but is enough to be regarded as a talent.

If you can successfully get through this difficulty, perhaps, you can recruit this person as your descendant.

Victoria thought so, and was considering the words, thinking about how to answer Midi, when there was a crisp knock on the heavy nanmu door of the tea room.

"Miss Victoria, it's me. Then, a magnetic man's voice rang out.

It seems that the situation has finally changed a little.

Midi thought like this, her eyebrows stretched slightly, no matter who it was, it was a good thing to be able to break the current situation for herself.

However, I wonder if the person who came from the road was a shrewd businessman like Victoria and Rothschild, or a person who could be led by the nose, or was it like the old butler of Lund, who completed the furnishings that blended in with the background?

The person who came was an awakened gunsmith of level 58, he had blonde hair, looked like he was about twenty-four or five years old, with a handsome face and a slender body, and he was an extremely standard celestial person.

And Midi was even more keenly aware that there was a slightly fanatical affection in the man's gaze towards Victoria, which could not be concealed.

"This is Captain Itrak, the captain of my bodyguard. Victoria introduced lightly, but her face was a little embarrassed.

Obviously, she didn't invite this person to this conversation with Midi, and Itrak was completely uninvited.

However, Midi is not sluggish, combined with Itak's attitude, he can roughly guess that he is a human being in two lives - this guy must not be worried about Victoria chatting and drinking tea face-to-face with him, so he will be jealous and run over desperately, wanting to stir up the situation.

It's just that although this Itak is a celestial person, but in the final analysis, he is just a captain of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, and the status of Victoria can be said to be very different, who gave him the courage to dare to hide his love for the mistress so unabashedly?

Midi thought it was strange.

In fact, if you think about it, the invitation of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce itself was quite hasty.

Even if they are strong in force, how can they be directly reused if they win a game? Don't these businessmen know that loyalty is the most important character.

Thinking of this, Midi's eyes suddenly lit up, and vaguely, he seemed to perceive the true thoughts of this Miss Victoria.

"Did I miss something?" said the level 58 gunsmith with a spring breeze on his face, ignoring the reproachful gaze cast by the old butler on the side.

"In fact, Miss Victoria and I are discussing a key issue. Midi glanced at the other party and said slowly, "That's why you hired me, a human from the Netherworld, on such favorable terms. ”

Itaker was slightly stunned for a moment, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "Of course, because Mr. Blade's strength is strong enough, although he may not be as good at air combat as me, but it is more than enough to be an ordinary escort captain! Miss Victoria has always been eager to be talented, and it is naturally a good thing to have Mr. Blade's help!"

This is a purely perfunctory answer, but because it is a perfunctory idea, it is full of flaws.

That's enough to give Midi a glimpse into the truth.

After hearing this answer, Midi also showed a bright smile that was harmless to humans and animals, and then said: "Mr. Itak's statement is very much in line with me, and since this is the case, then I will accept the invitation of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce!"
