Noble Emblem

As a father, Nadette knew about his daughter.

Arrogant, arrogant, jealous, indolent, and narrow-minded, she has almost all the common problems of aristocratic women. The only advantage that makes Nadette feel lucky is that Lux is not murderous.

Even if Lux hates someone again, she will at most hurt his body but not his life. This is Nadette's bottom line. If this bottom line is crossed, he feels that even if he loves his daughter again, he will To punish.

Of course, the severity of the punishment is another matter.

After resting for a few days, Beta made a lot of scrolls. When he placed the scrolls in front of Nadette, the latter almost twitched his cheeks, looking like a monster.

"With so many scrolls, how many magic materials did you use?"

Beta smiled and said: "Almost all the magic materials you gave me have been used up. The remaining ones can be used to make a few less practical scrolls."

In the past few days, Nadette had people send magic materials to Beta four times, almost emptying the inventory of the city lord's mansion.

But looking at the pile of magic scrolls on the table, Nadette felt that it was quite worth it. Magic materials are said to be precious, but if they are not turned into magic props or scrolls, then they are no different from Tuqila.

Natdai was happy, and Beta was calm on the surface, but he was also very happy in his heart. Because more than half of the magic materials have entered the magic space of his mansion, many of which are quite precious and even strategically controlled magic materials.

So, this is what happens when insiders bully outsiders. Although there is another spell caster in the city lord's palace, the wild mage in Perth can barely make the lowest level magic scroll, and the success rate is still relatively low. There are some third-level or even fourth-level magic scrolls here in Beta, so It's something Perth couldn't make even with all its strength.

Therefore, compared with Beta, Perth is still just a layman.

It's time for a combat meeting, and all four teams are here.

Because three people were lost in the last battle and there were no suitable replacements, Nadette made certain adjustments to each team.

The second team transferred one person, and Beta's third team transferred two soldiers to supplement the battle losses of other teams.

As a result, Beta's third team suddenly only had four people.

Nadette's explanation for this is: "As a support team, the third team can independently judge the battlefield situation and act on its own. Heidi, Robben, and Xion, your task is to protect Cook and listen to his response to the battle situation. judgment, do you understand?”

This confirms Beta's leadership position in the third team.

The former team leader Heidi nodded indifferently. The rules of the mercenary world are very simple. As long as you have the strength, there is no problem in being the leader. Besides, Beta also showed a certain sense of battlefield.

Looking at the overall situation is a quality that many powerful mercenary captains and leaders lack.

Heidi also knew that he was lacking in this area.

"The target of this mission is Ellen City. Arnold will explain the specific situation to you when we arrive at the destination. Because I have to return to the city to handle the audio and video processing, this mission will be led by Arnold. What do you guys have? Opinion?"

No one said anything.

"Each of these scrolls, choose one to take away. The rest are sealed in the warehouse." Nadette looked at Beta: "The scrolls play a great role in the battle. Cook, when you go out, I will ask someone urgently Purchase another batch of magic materials. When you come back, please continue to help us make scrolls. Of course, I will also record the points you contributed and wait until the end of the month to settle them. Is there any problem? "

Beta shook her head.

Nadette smiled. It was rare to meet a master who made magic scrolls. Of course, he had to do more work. As long as the magic scrolls were placed in a dry place, they could be stored for a very long time, possibly for hundreds of years. Save more to be prepared.

"Then let's all rest first and gather in front of the garden at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Everyone dispersed.

Nadette returned to the study. After a while, Heidi and Arnold came to him together.

Nadette took out two white magic pendants with the same pattern from the drawer and placed them on the table: "These are two space equipments, one for each of you."

The two of them looked surprised. Arnold looked at the pendant on the table and showed some earnest eyes, but he quickly covered it up: "Where did you get such a precious thing?"

Nadette smiled: "After all, our family has been in charge of Echo City for more than five hundred years. It is not strange to occasionally search for some strange magic items over the years. The space for equipment in these two spaces is very small, and it can be installed There are not many things in it, and it is very different from the private space opened by the space magician, but the advantage is that ordinary people can use it, such as a few more magic scrolls, for a while. I’ll ask the butler to get a few more for you, and you can also put some more precious and confidential things in them.”

Heidi and Nadette were very close, so she picked up one of them and put it on without any coquettishness: "Isn't this expensive? It costs several hundred gold coins?"

"A few hundred?" Nadette smiled: "You can't even buy it for a thousand gold coins."

Both of them were shocked, and Heidi felt that this thing was a hot potato, so she hurriedly took it off her neck and put it back on the table.

"Take it first, I'm not giving it to you, I'm just lending it to you temporarily." Nadette smiled: "Tomorrow you go to Ellen City. I can't accompany you, so I can only support you in this way."

"But this is too exaggerated, aren't you afraid that we will sweep this thing away?" Arnold asked with a smile.

Nadette also smiled: "We have known each other for thirty years, and I trust you."

Hearing this, Arnold picked up the pendant: "Okay, I'll borrow it first."

Heidi also put another pendant back on her neck.

"In addition...if this mission fails, you two must come back alive. If possible, I mean if possible, try to bring Cook back as well." Nadette said seriously: "The two of you must Life is more important than anything else, but Cook is a rare genius. It would be a pity if such a young man died young."

The two expressed their understanding and left Nadette's study.

As soon as they left, Lux rushed in. She slammed the table and asked, "Father, is that bastard leaving tomorrow?"

Nadette raised his head and teased in a funny way: "Who are you talking about? We don't have anyone called a bastard here."

"It's Cook, that guy wants to leave here?" Lux was extremely dissatisfied: "That guy just wanted to run away after teasing me. How can it be that simple?"

Nadette smiled and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Lux frowned: "I will make him pay the price."

Nadette smiled even more happily, and there was even some sarcasm in his words: "First of all, Cook is a noble, he is the head of the Green family, you can't deal with him the same way you deal with civilians. Second, he is a Dragon Vein Warlock , he is very strong, and Arnold and I may not be his match. My good daughter, are you going to make him pay the price in any way? "

"You are my father, who are you helping?" Lux was so angry that she almost went crazy.

"I won't help anyone. How you want to deal with Cook is your business. Don't try to borrow power from me."

Lux originally wanted her father to come forward, even if she didn't drive away Cook, she still had to make him look good, but she didn't expect that her father would not stand on her side.

Having been pampered since childhood, she hated Cook even more. After snorting coldly, Lux slammed the door and left. As soon as he reached the stairs, Urban came down from the stairs. When he saw Lux, he trotted down quickly and smiled flatteringly in front of the girl: "Miss, you are so Where are you going? Do you want me to protect you?"

"Go away, don't bother me."

Urban paused for a moment, and then said even more flatteringly: "Miss, who bullied you, tell me who is bullying you, and I will break his legs."

"Cook, do you dare?"

Lux looked at him sideways, her disdain clearly visible.

Lux has always looked down on Urban...a professional, a man with bones as soft as a noodle. Although she was unbearable, she was not stupid either. She knew who she could mess with and who she couldn't mess with. For example, even though Arnold was also her father's subordinate, she would never say a harsh word.

When Urban heard that it was Cook, his face became a little ugly. Beta's magic shock three days ago caused a little pain in his ribs. He naturally knew that Beta was merciful, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out of bed now.

However, most young men have a common problem: they cannot tolerate other people's excitement, especially in front of the woman they like.

When Urban saw Lux's contemptuous expression, his blood rushed to the top of his head. He said loudly: "Miss, just wait a moment, I will vent your anger right now."

He rushed to the third floor and knocked on Beta's door so hard that the whole building could hear it.

Beta was studying the magic patterns copied from the black coffin in the room. The direction of movement of the magic circle between the Elf Kingdom period and the current magic circle was very different, which gave Beta a lot of inspiration.

But a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts and made him feel extremely unhappy.

He opened the door and saw Urban with a red face, as if he had taken stimulants. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lux standing behind him with a smile on his face. How could he not know what was going on.

Before Urban could say anything, Beta shot the former away with a wind pressure bomb. Before closing the door, he looked at Lux not far away and said in a calm tone: "Be more mature, your father is a good lord. He is also a good person. As his daughter, don’t embarrass him. "

As soon as these words came out, Lux was so angry that she tightly held the hem of her skirt with her hands, unable to speak.

After a while, she calmed down, snorted, and went downstairs very unhappy.

When Urban knocked on the door desperately, he 'noised' everyone on the third floor. Seeing Urban being knocked to the ground again, two people shook their heads and went back to their rooms to rest.

Robben walked over, helped Urban up, sighed and said: "Don't provoke them two. Miss Lux looks down on us mercenaries, so give up. Cook is not interested in Miss Lux, and neither are you." Why bother bothering his opponent all the time."

Urban retched twice, pushed Robben away, and howled: "What do you know...an unmotivated guy."

Robben didn't repay Urban for his kindness, but he had a good temper. He shrugged and ignored Urban and went back to his room to rest.

Urban looked at Beta's closed door, then limped away.

A few minutes later, in Nadette's study, Arnold came over, told what had just happened, and then asked curiously: "Are you going to ignore it? If this continues, it will have a certain impact on the morale of the team."

"Although Urban is very ambitious, he lacks ability and temperament. Lux doesn't like him." Nadette thought for a while and said: "I asked Urban to stay with Lux. It's just that he wants Lux to see clearly what a man who pursues him looks like under normal circumstances, while Cook plays a positive role and can tell her how a truly good man, a young talent, treats her. . The world doesn’t revolve around her.”

Arnold smiled: "You have worked so hard. Since you think there is no problem, I will ignore it and go to rest first."

The time soon came the next morning. After breakfast, the four teams gathered in the courtyard, then got into four carriages and left slowly.

Lux yawned and came out of her bedroom. She was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night yesterday.

When I was going downstairs, I happened to meet the housekeeper, so I called out to him and asked: "By the way, the day before yesterday, my father asked you to send compensation to that woman. How is the situation?"

"Sent to her."

"Oh, that woman must be very sorry. Did she cry?"

When Lux thought of the scratched face she felt, she felt a burst of pleasure, and the anger aroused by Beta subsided a lot.

The housekeeper shook his head: "We caught up with her outside the city. She was a little frightened at the time, but she still accepted our gold coins."

"Exchanging one face for ten gold coins is considered a profit for her."

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Miss, that woman's face has been cured."

"What!" Lux screamed: "Who did it? Those hypocrites in the Temple of Light? No... I want that woman to continue to become an ugly monster. Butler, please send someone to capture her quickly. I I want to scratch her again, and let me see who dares to cure her this time!"

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, that happened three days ago. Now I don't know where that woman went."

ah! Lux ran back to her bedroom like a madman, swept everything on the table to the ground, and started smashing things randomly.

The housekeeper was downstairs and heard the commotion above, with a faint smile on his lips.
