Noble Emblem

Lloyd immediately stepped forward, gave Harris a slight salute, and said, "Slave Lloyd, it's a great honor to meet the young master."

Generally, the master's students will be called young masters by their slaves, just like their descendants. Lloyd thought he saw clearly that Harris's arrival was just to supervise them slaves to prevent them from escaping or having any other intentions. He felt that there was really no need for the master to be like this. They thought that it would be rare to find a good master like Beta in hundreds of years, and they might have promised that after the castle was built, they would be given the status of free citizens.

If they still run away or have different intentions despite such favorable conditions, then they are really idiots. Unless...the master is no longer willing to acknowledge the content of his previous promise.

Beta continued: "Although Harris has management and supervision duties, your authority is not higher than that of Lloyd. And when you encounter trouble, you must discuss it with Harris and cannot make your own decisions. If you two If you are not sure about anything, just find a way to inform me."

Hearing this, Lloyd was stunned for a moment. The master's student was actually the same status as himself? No, what I should say is that I actually have the same status as my master’s student?

He looked at Beta's expression carefully, and after confirming that this was not a polite lie, his body trembled slightly due to excitement.

In most cases, what a person needs to understand his or her position is comparison. Even if a person has a fortune of tens of millions, if the people around him are all rich people who are richer than him, then this person will not feel that he is a rich person, he will only feel that he is a poor person.

This was the case for Lloyd at this time. Although Beta gave his tribe a chance to survive, it also gave him certain rights. But he grew up among slaves, and even though he was much smarter than his fellow slaves, he didn't really know what this meant. He only knew that he seemed... to be... reused.

Of course, he only vaguely felt that because he had never been appointed by anyone, and no master had ever communicated with him in this way, he was not sure whether he was really reused, and to what extent he would be reused. degree.

But now he understands that he is really being used in a very important way.

Even if he is a slave, he also knows what kind of status a student will have in the teacher's heart. And what kind of status does a lord and a student of a high-level professional have?

He can weigh as much as his master's students... If the master wasn't here, he would probably jump up with excitement.

Harris was a little troubled: "It's freezing here. Teacher, can you bear to throw me here?"

Beta shook her head helplessly: "You should have listened to what we said just now. There is a girl named Amanda. She is only one year older than you. Like your sister, she used to be a businessman. But now she is working very hard to help me transport goods. Shili, help me manage the caravan. In comparison, you are far behind, both in terms of vision and character."

Harris was naturally dissatisfied: "That's because she has no way to make progress, so she works so hard."

"Is there no way to make progress?" Beta chuckled and said: "In terms of family background, you can't compare to her. In terms of ability, she is better than you, and in terms of vision, you are no match for her. Do you actually think that such a person can't make progress? Way? I shouldn’t say that you are arrogant or arrogant.”

Harris didn't know what to say. He also knows very well that if you are not afraid of your opponent's efforts, you will make your opponents who are stronger than you work harder than you.

Beta sighed: "Perhaps you have grown up too smoothly. Your sister is running around with your father outside, and her temperament and ability are among the best among her peers, but you have been staying at home, following opportunities, and growing up. I became a professional, and then a few months later, I became the second-in-command of the main temple. Such a smooth experience may give you the illusion that the world is very simple."

"No matter what, you should build the temple with Lloyd here first. Although it will suffer some hardships, it should be very beneficial to tempering your character."

Harris could only make a grimace and nodded in agreement. In comparison, he would rather suffer some pain here than be laughed at in Tonggu City.

He felt sick in his stomach when he thought about being beaten by Katie and being unable to fight back. In this world, it is a shameful thing for a man to lose to the woman he likes.

Beta turned to look at Lloyd: "I took a quick look just now, and your progress is faster than planned. You are doing well. If you need anything, please bring it up now."

Lloyd suppressed the excitement in his heart, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "Master, there is still about two months of food left, and you still have about half of the gold coins left. There is no problem."

Before leaving, Beta left some gold coins and asked Lloyd and the others to buy food by themselves. This was a sign of delegating authority and trust. After all, if the gold coins left behind were taken away, it would be more than enough to buy a life for a small nobleman. However, Lloyd did not do this, which shows that this person really has a bottom line.

"In which direction did Amanda go?" Beta frowned slightly: "I'm a little worried about her safety."

Lloyd shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but I heard Amanda said before leaving that maybe this matter has something to do with Harvey City."

Beta's expression became solemn. Amanda was born in Harvey City, and she was also the daughter of the president of the Harvey City Merchants Union. No wonder she said she wanted to solve this problem herself. This matter may have already involved the merchants' union in Harvey City.

"No matter what, I have to go and take a look before talking about it."

Although Amanda is not Beta's type, Beta appreciates her as a talent.

Amanda awakened to a profession unique to the Watking Temple. The 'merchant' was also the first special profession in the Watking Temple. It had very important symbolic significance, so nothing could go wrong.

Ten minutes later, Beta appeared outside the city walls of Haweah.

The city of Harvey looks even more beautiful in winter. The city is completely built of white, blue, and red raw stones. Under the covering of the falling mountains, it has a sense of seclusion.

Beta first found a hotel to stay in, and then let Shirley, Emma, ​​Alice, and Jessica out for some air.

Although it is indeed comfortable to live in a mansion, you will get bored if you stay there for a long time.

As soon as Shirley came out, she gave Beta a big hug. Emma curled her lips as she watched. She also wanted to have such a close relationship with Beta, but after all, she was also a girl, extremely shy, and could not be as generous as Shirley.

Then Shirley took Emma and Jessica out shopping, leaving Alice alone in the room.

Beta poured her a glass of water and smiled: "It seems like you have something to say to me."

Alice sat and nodded. After playing with the cup in her hand for a while, she said, "What my father said to you when you left, I also said it."

Beta listened quietly.

"My father has become a little strange recently." Alice said with some worry: "My father used to be very concerned about family affairs and took care of everything. But recently he has delegated a lot of power to the hands of his branches. This is not at all like His old ways.”

Beta tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "You want to say that Granton has become less interested in power and less interested in intervening in world affairs, right?"

Alice nodded repeatedly: "I know my father very well. This is not his character. Is it because something happened to him recently?"

Beta laughed: "You do know your father very well, but you don't know power."

Alice's eyes widened and she looked confused.

Beta tapped the water in front of him, then used his fingers to draw a water line on the table, and then divided the water line into four intervals.

"As his strength improves, his personality and world view will slowly change." Beta pointed to the front end of the water line: "When people have power, they will feel excited and have more confidence. This kind of That will probably continue all the way up to the elite level.”

Alice nodded. It was indeed true. She became a summoner and was in a state of excitement for several months.

"After the elite level, professionals will become more confident. But depending on personal background, personality and other factors, some people will become arrogant, while others can maintain their original character. But no matter what kind of career after the elite level, Those who do will try their best to pursue strength in order to go further.”

Alice continued to nod.

Beta continued: "After being a master, most professionals will become very calm and calm. But there are always exceptions in everything. I am just talking about a trend. Some people who have always been very flamboyant have become calmer and ugly. It’s possible, but the trend of becoming calm is generally correct.”

Alice felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She knew how arrogant and willful she was in the past, and Beta's words completely penetrated her heart, making her feel ashamed.

"After reaching the legendary level, you can come into contact with a trace of the power of the law." Beta said nostalgically: "You have never reached that state, so you don't know what the power of the law has for us mortals. What a temptation. Wealth, power, and beauty are nothing compared to the power of law. As for the demigod level, I have never reached it, so I don’t know what kind of impact this stage of power will have on mortals. "

Alice understood: "You mean, my father has no interest in the world anymore, so he plans to leave the family? Then why does he have to go back to the Elf Forest? He can still pursue power at home."

Beta wiped off the water line on the table: "The elves were born from the Mother Tree of the World. After the legendary level, if you want to go further, you must return to the Mother Tree and find a way to communicate with the Mother Tree before you can penetrate yourself. The path we have to take. This is the return of the elves to their roots, and it is also a new starting point.”
