Dedicate Lolita to the infinite beauty

"Doesn't that mean..." Ricardo blinked, then looked at Anastasia in surprise and said, "Miss, this little girl can be an accountant!"

"It's not just the accountant." Elsebell shook her head. She was basically certain that the little dumpling in front of her was Anastasia Hessin, one of the five future king-chosen ones! Then what the other party is good at is not just accounting, but business!

"Huh huh huh, hahahahaha -" Elsie Bell put her hands on her hips and let out a wild laugh - very good! I already have the future in my hands!

Anastasia is mine now, and so is Ricardo of Iron Fang! In other words, I can basically be said to be one of the forces of the future King Chosen!

"Miss... looks very happy?" Ricardo and Anastasia looked at each other, then blinked.

"I must be happy!" Elsebell put her hands on her hips and said, "Actually, I have a blessing, called the blessing of identification. The content of the blessing is that if you see a talented person, you can see the other person's talent. !”

Blessing is a power unique to this world. It is a bit like a "superpower" - some people don't have any blessing, while some people can have whatever blessing they want. Intensive Care.

"Hey!" Ricardo's eyes widened and he asked, "Does the eldest lady still have this ability?"

Ricardo didn't suspect anything, because the blessings in this world are really weird - can you imagine the "blessings of sugar and salt", the effect is "you will never be able to distinguish between sugar and salt" "?

Oh yes, there seems to be a "belly button protection", the effect is "when thunder strikes, the belly button will not be snatched away by the God of Thunder"!

To be honest, when she realized that there was such protection, Elsebell's first reaction was - Could it be that when the sword master was a child, he heard his family say, "When there is thunder, the thunder god's belly button will be damaged." A story like "Take it away", which gave rise to the idea of ​​"I don't want my belly button to be snatched away by the God of Thunder", and thus obtained the protection of the belly button?

If this were really the case, Elsebell would definitely raise her hands and shout 666 for the Sword Master.

"That's necessary! I'm the eldest lady!" Elsebell put her hands on her hips and said, "Has your eldest lady ever lied to you?"

"Then Miss, what abilities do I have?" Ricardo looked at Elsebell expectantly.

"Have I not already made you move towards your talents?" Elsebell put her hands on her hips and said, "The mercenary group is your talents!"

"Oh oh oh!" Ricardo clenched his fists excitedly.

"And you, Anastasia -" Reid knelt down and looked at Anastasia again, and said: "Your talent is in business - I can see your shining business talent! "

"Wow, Miss, isn't your plan ready then?" Ricardo came over with excitement and said, "The little girl is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, and I am in charge of the mercenary group. With our two swords combined, we are invincible. !”

"I think so too." Elsebell smiled and said, "But for now, let's move first, and then... we will work hard to develop the mercenary group first. As for the business part... this part I can’t teach Anna much, so I can only teach her some basic cultural lessons first.”

"Okay!" Ricardo raised his arm and said, "Miss, is there anything that needs to be moved?"

"No." Elsebell waved her hand and said, "Let's go directly."

The new house is a small Western-style bungalow with an independent yard and a two-story wooden bungalow. Generally speaking, it is relatively spacious.

"That's amazing!" Anastasia's eyes widened. When had she ever seen such a luxurious house when she grew up in the lower city?

"This is just a small house." Elsebell looked indifferent - she had many more places to collect rent than the luxurious house here, "but our focus now is not on the house, but on other aspects - —Little Anna, you should study hard and work hard to make money. Buying a house depends on you."

"Leave it to me!" Anastasia's eyes were full of excitement, excitement, and... greed.

She wants to make money, make a lot of money!

"Next..." Elsebell touched her chin and said, "Ricardo, you have been paying attention to the mercenary guild recently to see if there are any missions from the Northern Kingdom."

"Northern Kingdom?" Ricardo looked at Elsebell with a question mark on his face and said, "Miss, are you going to the Northern Kingdom? What good things are there?"

This is as unbelievable as if a person who runs a successful company in the imperial capital and has an annual income of over one million suddenly said to his friend, "Brother, I am going to transfer the company and become a monk" - you are out of your mind. ?

"You have an old friend in the North Country." Elsebell began to make nonsense again, "Don't worry about it. I will go there by myself when the time comes, and you will be responsible for developing your own mercenary group here."

"Miss, are you serious?" Ricardo couldn't help but said as he looked at Elsibelle's attitude of saying, "I want to be the shopkeeper."

"Yes, I have given you all the plans for the future -" Isabel looked at Ricardo and Anastasia and said, "One of you is in charge of the mercenary group, the other is in charge of studying, and then you save money to start a business. , and finally it becomes a chamber of commerce, it doesn’t matter even if I leave for a month or two, right?”

It doesn't matter... what a piece of shit!

Ricardo was completely shocked - what the hell is this plan! You know this is called pie-making! ? Just "you are a mercenary group, you are engaged in business" is called planning! ?

"Oh, don't worry." Elsebell is not in a hurry at all. After all, according to the original work, Anastasia can become Anastasia Hessing, which means that she is indeed talented...

Wait.

"Your name is Anastasia?" Elsebell looked at Anastasia and said, "What's your surname? Do you still have the surname Hexin?"

"No." Anastasia shook her head.

"Miss, the Hexin Chamber of Commerce is a famous chamber of commerce in Kalalaki, and only the heirs and leaders of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce are qualified to have the surname Hexin - did you make a mistake?" Ricardo asked worriedly .

"Oh..." Elsebell opened her hands and said, "It's over."

End of this chapter

Elsebell has experienced the so-called ups and downs of life many times.

For example, when the sow who just joined the platform server was welding, Elsie Bell wanted to slap the "only true god in this game" in her friend's mouth, "the air was blown every second," and "the official wanted to prevent her from being a monster." , Spring Festival Kailu (Chun Hei), who has set an upper limit for monster damage, prepared half a month in advance, and prepared enough stones to attack this pool - and then he pulled out two rounds of ten rounds.

This is a great start.

Then because she felt that Haruhei was so awesome, he would definitely have to reach five stars. When he reached five stars, her friend told her: "Haruhei is a skill-based character, so his panel is low, and his skills will recover faster after being beaten to three stars." Spring Black, which is higher than the panel and whose skill recovery is low after being beaten, the five-star Spring Black is even more awesome, you are useless."

This is the big fall.

The ups and downs came so fast. In less than two hours, Elsebell felt like she was riding a roller coaster - and not only did this roller coaster have no seat belts, it also went off the rails.

Elsebell, who originally thought she would never have another ups and downs, experienced another ups and downs this time.

She originally thought she had the key to heaven in her hand, but she never expected that the key to heaven was actually two wires connected together, and the function of the wire was to connect the two holes of the socket.

Anastasia, and Anastasia Hessing.

There is no doubt that he is the same person, but according to Ricardo, Anastasia Hesing should have acquired the "surname" after Anastasia joined the Hesing Chamber of Commerce and became the heir or even the person in power. And this means...

It was after Anastasia joined the Hexin Chamber of Commerce that she achieved her future achievements!

Don't underestimate the fact that this is just a multiple-choice question of "Should Anna join the Hexin Chamber of Commerce?" The problem here is huge.

Joining the Hexin Chamber of Commerce means that Anna has a higher and better one, and with the Hexin Chamber of Commerce as her backer, other Xiaoxiao or chambers of commerce will not stumbling upon Anna casually.

But if you don't join the Hexin Chamber of Commerce, not only will your starting ladder be gone, but your shield will also be gone. Maybe when little Anna develops, the Hexin Chamber of Commerce will in turn give her a stumbling block.

It’s very difficult to bear.

"Hiss..." Thinking of this, Elsebell became even more uneasy - if little Anna couldn't develop because of her little butterfly, wouldn't that be a pill?

"Miss—Miss—"

At this time, Ricardo, who saw Elsebel's face changing color like an RGB light, couldn't help but walked in and asked, "What are you worrying about? You've been sitting here for an hour."

"I was just thinking about the inheritance rights of the Chamber of Commerce that you mentioned just now..." Elsebell put her chin on her chin and said, "Tell me, is it because our family has no money, so..."

Elsebell told Ricardo about her worries just now.

"Oh, Miss, you think too much." Ricardo patted Elsibelle's shoulder carelessly and said, "Let's not talk about the targeted issues. Even if we start, it's a little too early. Right? She is only two years old! It’s not too late for you to wait until she is ten years old before thinking about starting up! It will be eight years until she is ten years old. In eight years, can we still not be able to save money? "

"...Yes." Elsebell hammered her palm and said, "Hey, I really didn't expect it!"

This is habitual thinking. Elsebell subconsciously substitutes the characters in the plot into her cognition. This has both advantages and disadvantages.

Everyone knows the advantages, just like having a guide. You fully understand the character and preferences of the plot character and can directly prescribe the right medicine; but the disadvantages are also obvious, because your habitual thinking will subconsciously make you dislike a certain person. The character develops a favorable impression.

For example, I traveled to a certain otaku in the world of Date A Live, and went to find Kurumi with excitement on his face. Then Kurumi lifted up her skirt with a smile on her face, and the otaku's eyes widened in excitement, and then …

Then he was eaten by Kurumi.

‘Hiss, you should reflect on it and don’t take on the original role too deliberately...’ Elsie Bell rubbed her head, ‘Everyone has different personalities at different times, so we must learn to analyze flexibly. ’

"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Ricardo asked worriedly as he watched Elsebell's movements.

"No, it's okay." Elsebell smiled and said, "I just figured out something."

"What have you figured out?"

"Thinking through certain things does not necessarily require the original trajectory. Sometimes it is better to add some catalysts." Elsebell smiled and said: "For example, now - okay, let's work hard starting today. When little Anna is able to run the chamber of commerce, she must spend enough money and have enough strength to be her backer!"

"Oh!" Although Ricardo replied angrily, he immediately complained: "Before this, Miss, aren't you going to recruit some people? There are only two of us here, it's too shabby, right? "

"Don't worry." Elsebell put her hands on her hips and said, "Put it on me!"

After buying Ricardo and then adopting Anastasia, Elsebel's life gradually became stable - she and Ricardo took on missions during the day, and taught Ana some basic knowledge at night.

Of course, in fact, all Elsebell can do is to tell Anna some simple knowledge in mathematics - in the conscience of heaven and earth, it is already amazing that Elsebel, who graduated from high school, can calculate the linear equation of two variables! Maybe she still remembers some knowledge about prescriptions and the like?

But the others had already been returned to her PE teacher.

But for Anastasia, some basic mathematics knowledge taught to her by Elsebell was enough for her to use.

In the past nearly half a year, Ai Sibei and Ricardo have gained a certain reputation in Kalalaki - after all, the mercenary industry depends on credibility and your strength.

As for credibility, after all, the leader of this mercenary group is the deadbeat Elsebell, and except for some scumbags, the deadbeat is actually quite upright; as for combat effectiveness, the current Elsebel has experienced half a year of actual combat. After that, her combat prowess was enough to make Kalalaki's mercenary industry sigh, "This woman is so terrifying."

However, in the past six months, Elsebell has not received any missions related to the Northern Kingdom - it's not that she has never appeared, but she has been intercepted every time.

This is the disadvantage of the small number of people in the mercenary group. By the time they get the information and run over, there will be no feathers left.

So, now Elsie Bell has learned her lesson and hired a person to help her keep an eye on the task bar. Once a task from the North appears, she will directly reveal it, regardless of what the task is - after choosing this method , only a week later, a task list from the North Kingdom appeared in front of her.

"Look, wouldn't it be better to use this method earlier?" Elsebell patted the task list in her hand, looked at Ricardo behind her and said, "Isn't this just received?"

"Miss, the mercenary mission is no joke." Ricardo covered his head and said, "Especially for this kind of mission to other countries, the intelligence to be collected is not the smallest bit."

Are there any traps? What is the mission content? Is it difficult? Are there any tricks in it? These all need to be investigated, otherwise it will be terrible if you fall into someone else's trap.

Besides, there is a plot like this in many fantasy novels - a large chamber of commerce steals the egg of a certain holy beast, and then hires a large group of mercenaries to protect the caravan. In fact, all of these mercenaries are from the chamber of commerce. cannon fodder.

"Don't worry." Elsebell smiled and said, "I'm just going to the North Country for a walk. And with my strength, even if I can't defeat you, can't I still run away?"

As of now, apart from the witch, the only person in the world who can threaten Elsie Bell is the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, and as long as there are not three or more Sin Archbishops appearing at the same time, there is no way for Elsie Bell to be threatened. You bring trouble.

"Then you must pay attention to safety!" Ricardo knew that Elsebell could not be persuaded, so he helplessly ordered, "If you can't fight, just run away. If the mission fails, it will be fine."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Elsebel waved her hand to Ricardo impatiently and said, "I'll leave the matters here to you first! I'll set off right away!"

"Hey..." Ricardo looked helplessly at Elsebell's back as she quickly slipped away, and sighed helplessly.

Miss, please listen to what I have to say...

After receiving the mission, Elsebell jumped on the carriage heading to the Northland, and then opened the mission list.

This mission is very simple, just collect herbs near the snow-capped mountains. The difficulty can be said to be... fluctuating greatly!

The reason is very simple. If you go to the snow-capped mountains to collect herbs, you will be able to find them at the foot of the mountain if you are lucky. It will be easy to run away after collecting them. However, if you are not lucky, you may have to climb the mountain and then fight the monsters.

It's like if someone takes out the goods as soon as the order is issued, you still get 648 krypton and the ship sinks.

"It's not a big problem." Elsebell calmly closed the task sheet and said, "If it weren't for the fact that legal procedures are required to enter the country, I would have set off long ago."

The North Country is different from Kalaraki. Kalalaki is a commercial city, so the entry and exit management is relatively loose. However, in the North Country, due to the harsh environment and strong folk customs, the city's entry and exit management is very strict - no one is happy with it. Let the troublemakers in.

‘By the way, did I forget something? ’ Looking at the task list in front of her, Elsebell was inexplicably lost in thought, ‘Task list, task... task? ’

She touched her chin, and a lightbulb suddenly appeared next to her head.

"Oh, yes, I seem to have never seen my main mission?" Elsebell responded.

End of this chapter

In fact, I can't really blame Ai Sibei for forgetting to confirm the main mission.

During the day, she and Ricardo had to take on tasks and complete tasks in Kalalaki, which was extremely busy; at night, she had to teach Anastasia basic knowledge, and she taught them until late at night.

Then when I went to bed, I suddenly thought "Oh, I seem to have forgotten to confirm the main plot", but I wanted to sleep too much, thinking "it will be the same when I get up tomorrow", and then I will find out when I get up...

Oh, I completely forgot about it.

After all, the mission objectives of the main mission can only be achieved after the plot begins, and now it is 20 years before the plot begins...well, 19 years and 6 months, so Elsebell is not in a hurry to confirm the main mission. .

But now I suddenly feel free and realize...

‘Then take a look. ’ Elsebell opened her mission panel, which had three pages, namely [Main Mission], [Completed Mission] and [Achievements Achieved].
