Noble Emblem

After not seeing each other for a year, Joshua was almost unrecognizable to Beta. The Joshua in his memory had an immature temperament and a strong willpower, but he had a hidden jealousy towards the world. And at that time, He had been tortured for a long time by the curse, and his energy and energy had been seriously lost, and he looked a little weak.

But the Joshua in front of him was sunny, cheerful, and even had the temperament of a superior person.

When he saw Beta, he bent down with a smile and said, "Long time no see, teacher. You are finally willing to come back here."

Amanda thought Joshua was Beta's friend, but she didn't expect that he was actually his student. After all, the age gap between the two seems not big. Although Beta looks more mature, he is still in his early twenties at most, and Joshua is probably about the same age.

"This is Shirley and this is Amanda." Beta introduced the names of the two female companions.

Shirley smiled and said, "Then you should call me Shi Niang."

When Joshua saw Shirley, he was slightly absent-minded, but he quickly corrected his mentality. He called his master's wife respectfully, and then looked at Amanda, thinking, is this also his master's wife?

Amanda knew that he had misunderstood, and waved her hands repeatedly: "I have nothing to do with Beta, I am purely his subordinate."

Although Amanda's status was not high, he was the one brought by Beta after all, so he still greeted Amanda politely.

Beta then asked Joshua to sit down, looked at him for a while, and said with satisfaction: "The strength has improved well, it is already at the elite level, and he seems to be more energetic. The position of city lord should not be hard, right? "

"Lord of the City?" Amanda, who was tasting the fine fruit wine, spit out the wine in one gulp: "Lord of the City of Sicily?"

She looked at Joshua in surprise: "I know that the city lord of Sicily City changed someone a year ago, but I never thought that the city lord would be so young. This is a commercial city. How do you get it?" To the position of city lord? Is your family very powerful? "

Joshua looked at her: "This is all because of the teacher's help. Everything I have now is given by the teacher."

Amanda looked at Beta and then at Joshua, a little disbelieving: "If he was so powerful, he would have taken the city of Sicily himself, why would he give it away?"

Beta smiled and said nothing.

Joshua smiled but said nothing.

Amanda knew she had asked something she shouldn't have asked, and immediately stopped talking. She is just a girl, not stupid.

The atmosphere seemed a little dull, and Joshua quickly asked: "The teacher must have something very important when he comes back this time. Can you tell me about it? I think I can help."

"I'm here to make money this time." Beta didn't hide it, nor did he feel embarrassed: "You are the city lord now, and you are well-informed. You should know that I am also the lord of the wetland. It is a barren land, and I want to be in the city. It takes a lot of money to build a city there."

"Teacher, I can support you." Joshua said sincerely: "This year, Sicily's tax revenue is not small, and there will be more in the future. I can give you one every year. Within ten years, I think It should be possible to collect enough money to build a city, and provide money while the construction is started. After ten years, when the money is enough, the city will be built. "

Beta waved his hand: "No need. I collected a lot of money from the previous lord a year ago, but I have almost used it. As for your city of Sicily, although it has a lot of tax revenue, it also spends a lot. It is located in the commercial hub of the three countries. Dao, if there is not enough He Zheng military strength, it is easy to cause big problems. "

Joshua wanted to say something else, but Beta said seriously: "I can make money slowly, but if I use your money to build the wetland, then should the lord write your name or mine?" ?”

These words were a bit serious. Joshua understood after thinking about it. He said sadly: "Then how can I help you, teacher?"

Beta thought for a while and said: "Then help us find a large warehouse, a special large one."

Joshua thought for a while and said with a smile: "I happen to know that there is such a place."

Then the teacher and the student drank some wine together and chatted for a while. About an hour later, Joshua said that he still had a lot of city affairs to deal with, and left with some reluctance. He returned to the city lord's mansion in a carriage. As soon as he sat down, his wife and maid, Julie, came over holding a glass of specially prepared fruit wine.

Joshua took it, took a sip, closed his eyes and thought.

Although Julie is not very beautiful, she still has a bit of charm now. She walked behind Joshua, massaged his shoulders, and asked at the same time: "How is the situation with Mr. Beta?"

"The teacher is still the same kind person as before. He rejected my kindness and didn't even want to cause me trouble." Joshua let out a long sigh: "But I have changed and become snobbish. When I heard When the teacher came, my first reaction was, will it cause trouble?”

Julie comforted: "This is normal. You are already a qualified city lord. In many cases, becoming a qualified superior person will inevitably lead to many changes, including temperament."

"Julie, will you change?"

"I will always be your maid, so I will never change."

The room was quiet for a moment, and Joshua suddenly asked: "Julie, do you think I should remove myself as a knight? After all, I am the city lord now, a noble of the same level as the teacher. If people know that I He is his inferior knight, which may not have a negative impact on our Taut family. "

"But the inferior knights conferred by Lord Beta can bring powerful power and rapid growth." Julie had a faint worry on her face: "If you remove the identity of the inferior knight, then the power gained, Will it be taken back?"

"Probably yes." Joshua thought for a while and said: "But now that I have come into contact with magic, even if I lose my power, I can get it back quickly. The most important thing is that I already have my own Power, even if the individual is weaker, it won’t be a big problem.”

"Then you make your own decision. I'm just a maid. No matter what you do, I will always be by your side."

Joshua was moved and held Julie's hand.

On the other side, Amanda said to Beta with hatred: "You are stupid. A city master supports you in building a city. He is still your student. What are you afraid of? You are not willing to help anyone. You have to work hard by yourself." If you work hard to make money, I think you are quite stupid."

Shirley had an indifferent expression.

Beta said slowly: "If Joshua had said this a year ago, I would have been very happy. But now that Joshua is the city lord, when he said this, I felt a little chilled."
