Noble Emblem

Mavis's words seemed very idiotic and unreasonable, but in fact, she was not an idiot at all, and what she asked made sense.

The three people present, the head of the Fashu family and Mavis are both nobles. They both have the unique little thoughts of nobles. It is the instinct of nobles to use their noble status to seek protection from others. This is also the privilege brought by their noble status. and convenience.

And many times, a seemingly rude remark can stimulate people's true nature. This in itself is one of the little social skills.

But what Mavis didn't expect was that Beta actually acted out of common sense. He didn't get angry or ignore it indifferently, but said very normally:

We don't know each other well.

This reason is very good, and it immediately makes Mavis unable to continue talking. If Beta agrees sternly, then it means that Beta is a passionate young man who can 'guide' well. If Beta is disdainful and indifferent, , or pretending to be smooth and evasive, then it means that Beta is just like them.

But this ordinary, even somewhat straightforward attitude made it difficult for them to guess Beta's character, because they had never seen such a nobleman, or a professional.

The three of them looked at each other, and then the black-armed Givado spoke first, with a strange light shining in his little eyes: "Well, since none of us are honest people, let's talk freely. , Sir Beta, how can you protect us?"

As the night gradually approached, the scope of the sun-drenched magic was slightly reduced. Beta gently knocked on the table and did not answer Givado's question. Instead, he asked: "You and the city lord Joshua have it." Misunderstand'?"

The faces of the three of them were a little strange. After a while, the head of the Fashu family touched his mustache and said: "Actually, this is not a very secret matter. You must have heard what Yaerlin said just now. We did make an appointment. The Lord of Joshua had a misunderstanding. Our family had a business conflict with the Lord of the City. The Black Arm organization was in his way, and Mavis was unwilling to marry one of Joshua's confidants, so she was hated by him. ”

Beta nodded, and then suddenly asked: "You seem to look down on me. Why? This should be the first time we meet!"

These words were too direct. It was rare for nobles to talk directly to the root of the problem. The head of the Fashu family was extremely uncomfortable. His throat was choked for a while before he said: "Since you asked, I will just say it directly. Joshua was the one who helped you become the city lord. You wanted to raise a dog, but instead you raised a white-eyed wolf. This is really poor judgment. "

It turns out that was the case. Beta understood what was going on. He looked at Givado and Mavis and asked, "In other words, you all know my identity."

None of the three spoke, but in many cases, silence represents acquiescence.

After a while, Givado said: "Joshua is so young, but he was able to seize the position of city lord in the chaotic situation a year ago. We will definitely be curious and find out as soon as we find out. Besides, Our Black Arms have worked with Joshua for a while before, so it’s certainly not difficult to know. I actually have the same opinion as the Fashu family leader, Mr. Beta, you really don’t have much judgment about people.”

Givado was not a nobleman, so he used honorifics when he spoke.

Mavis said harshly: "So we think that even if you push the dog away and go up, it will be better than Joshua."

People can change. Among the people around Beta at that time, only Joshua could barely take up the post of city lord. Not to mention Kyle, he was simple and straightforward, with a typical brave mentality. As a city lord, even if he didn't make the whole city a better place. Oops, she will be killed by others sooner or later. Alice is the heir to Bronze Drum City. Although the more territory the better, she was immature at the time and her thoughts were all on Kyle. Let her be the city lord, not much better than Kyle. .

As for Emma, ​​she also had territory, and the situation of the eldest prince and the second prince's struggle for the throne was not clear at that time. If Emma dared to take over another economically important town, then in the eyes of the eldest prince, it would definitely become extremely threatening. It would be strange not to send troops to attack.

Of course, Beta would not tell outsiders about these things. He just said in a very normal tone: "It doesn't matter to me who is the city lord."

Mavis's expression was obviously very calm, and she seemed to want to say something more. Givado gently patted the table and said: "Okay, actually we will talk about the matter later. Now we just want to know one thing, Beta Sir, how can you protect us?"

"Then you have to see if you are worthy of my protection." Beta smiled.

"Two hundred gold coins, I will buy my life." Givado said without hesitation: "As long as I come back alive, I will definitely give you the gold coins with both hands."

The head of the Fashu family snorted: "For the same two hundred gold coins, I will buy my own life."

Mavis originally wanted to bargain for the price, which is a woman's nature, but she looked at the other two men and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I also want two hundred gold coins."

Beta looked at them and smiled: "Sicily City is an important economic town. I know that you are very rich without even thinking about it. Four hundred gold coins per person. No bargaining. I can guarantee your safety."

Upon hearing this, Mavis screamed: "You are crazy, why don't you grab four hundred gold coins."

Beta said matter-of-factly: "I'm just robbing money right now. If you don't want to, you don't have to pay."

Mavis was so angry at these words that her chest heaved... The extreme anger made the mean temperament on her face seem to be much lessened.

Fashu said helplessly: "You are too greedy. Four hundred gold coins, which our family has accumulated for decades, can it be cheaper?"

"You can bargain, but I won't agree to it."

Beta smiled, with a very refreshing and beautiful expression, but in the eyes of others, it was a kind of calmness that said, "I've got you covered."

The skeletons outside were closer to the circle of light, and some strange skeleton creatures appeared, such as the black knight riding a skeleton horse. The undead fire in the bone holes of their eyes is not red, but green.

The strength of undead creatures can be seen from their undead fire. In order from weakest to strongest, they are red, green, white and purple.

The red skeleton's strength is very ordinary, but the undead who have green undead fire in their years are already elite-level professionals.

As for the three Givados, their strength is not even elite, and there is no way they can survive the Black Knight's attack.

The three of them stared at the undead that was about to move outside. After gritting their teeth, Givado was the first to speak. He said heartily: "Okay, you win, four hundred gold coins, four hundred gold coins, I will pay."
