Noble Emblem

969Untitled

Although mercenaries are said to be quite powerful, due to their resources and status, they do not have much confidence when facing nobles.

Of course, mercenaries are at least much stronger than civilians and businessmen. After all, if they are strong enough, they can ignore many status restrictions.

But when the noble's status reaches a certain level, then even if the mercenaries are very powerful, they must give the noble enough 'respect'. As for big figures like the earl and marquis, even if they are the president of the mercenary union, they have to bow properly.

Beta just nodded to the two of them.

For a mercenary, this style is extremely arrogant. Not to mention Billy, even Claire felt that this mercenary was too ostentatious.

Relying on the favor of the mistress, you are arrogant?

Billy looked Beta up and down for a while and said, "Ms. Celia, although this advice may be a bit harsh, I still want to talk to you."

Billy looked at Beta with an extremely unfriendly look. The four people present knew what would happen next!

Monica waved her hand and said, "You don't have to say anything, I know what you want to say. His words represent what I mean. If you don't like it, you don't have to listen."

Beta chuckled.

Billy was so choked by Monica that his face turned livid and he gasped. He has been an earl for more than twenty years, and no one has ever spoken like this in front of him. Even members of the royal family will abide by necessary etiquette when facing him. This is an unspoken rule.

But now, he was first contradicted by a mercenary, and then 'slapped in the face' by an archbishop.

The title Archbishop sounds very powerful, but its influence only affects believers. In the aristocratic class, the Archbishop's status is equivalent to that of a Baron.

Being polite to you is to give you face, and not being polite to you is also the right thing to do.

"Since Ms. Celia is like this, I have nothing to say." Billy was in a calm mood and turned to Claire and said, "How about we leave together, Marquis?"

"I'm sorry, Count Billy, I still have some things I want to talk to Jian Liya."

Although Claire also felt that the mercenary in front of her was a bit arrogant and outrageous. But he is not stupid. On one side, he wants to kill himself secretly and to bring down his family. On the other side, he is the archbishop who saved him. Although the people around her are quite annoying, a little bit of aristocratic self-esteem can save his life. compared to?

Billy also guessed this answer. He shrugged and said to Beta: "Some people think they are very powerful, but in fact, if they don't have a backer, they are nothing. They may even get slapped while walking on the road."

Beta smiled and ignored him.

Billy couldn't get the expression he wanted from the other party, so he turned and left.

Compared with Beta's relaxed expression, Claire's expression suddenly became ugly: "He said this to me."

Monica also nodded and said: "You told me too."

Now that Beta is a mercenary, even if he makes Billy angry again, as a noble, there is no need for him to personally threaten a small mercenary.

Then the person he was talking to was very simple and clear.

Monica said to Claire: "Marquis, come and sit in the church."

When she spoke, her tone was much gentler.

Claire was immediately flattered: "Okay...okay."

He looked overjoyed.

Beta said to Monica: "Then I'll go for a walk."

"Be careful yourself."

Beta nodded, turned and left the church.

Monica stood at the entrance of the church, watching Beta's figure disappear into the distance of the street, and then looked away.

Claire kept looking at her face. Seeing that she had come to her senses, she asked worriedly: "Madam, you seem to be very concerned about this mercenary. Who is he to you?"

"Creditor!" Monica said softly: "I owe him my life."

Claire immediately understood that the mercenary was Ms. Celia’s savior, no wonder.

In fact, this is because Monica didn't speak clearly, and Claire made a mistake in her mind. Monica's meaning is very simple, that is, literally, Beta did not kill her, which is equivalent to her owing the former a life.

What Claire heard was that the mercenary saved Monica once, or lost the life of someone very important, such as a lover.

I feel that I have figured out Claire, and I feel that this world is so beautiful. He endured the excitement in his heart and followed Monica into the church.

He knew very well how rare a beautiful woman who knew how to be grateful was in this world. Such a woman is not only very suitable as an ally, but also very suitable as a wife.

Billy returned to the manor and first found a beautiful maid to vent his anger for half an hour. After the anger in his heart completely disappeared, he sat back on the chair.

As a qualified nobleman, he knew too well that anger would bring fatal errors to his judgment, so he would keep himself awake before deciding on an important matter.

Everyone has different ways to wake up. Some people like to wash their faces with ice water, some like to eat a lot, and Billy prefers to vent his desires.

Without desire, he could maintain absolute sanity for at least half an hour.

He even gave this period of time a name himself.

Sage state.

Regarding Archbishop Celia, the situation of Claire and others has been spinning in his mind. He felt like he was beginning to figure out what kind of actions the two people would take after they formed an alliance.

Then his thoughts suddenly settled on a person.

That ridiculously handsome mercenary.

For some reason, Billy disliked this person very much, and in this dislike, he could even feel a little bit apprehensive.

"Kill him first."

Billy suddenly had such an idea, and he had even found a reason for himself.

Lord Celia seemed to value this man very much, and this man might even be her male favorite. Killing him should drive the Archbishop into a state of madness.

Many people fear their enemies going crazy, but Billy doesn't see it that way. He feels that a crazy enemy is not scary, and it is even easy to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Billy now wants to see Bishop Celia go crazy. As long as she goes crazy, the alliance with the Marquis of Clare will exist in name only. .

After ringing the bell, he let the butler in and issued several orders, one of which was to find a way to assassinate the mercenary.

Beta continued to wander on the street. As evening approached, he felt that he seemed to be being watched, so he deliberately walked to a secluded place with few people.

Then two hours later, Beta returned to the church. Claire is actually still in the church, happily chatting with Monica, while Monica responds to the situation.

Seems boring.

Then he saw Beta coming in, and his eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped up, and ran over and asked, "Where have you been running all afternoon and you haven't come back for dinner."

"Killed several people." Beta said lightly.

A sudden thought occurred to Claire. For a moment, he seemed to see the majestic murderous aura overflowing from Beta's body, but then it disappeared in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.

Monica thought it was normal. She had already investigated Beta and knew that this man was not the kind of soft-hearted person. Moreover, it seemed that the deaths of millions of people in the Holy Land of Light were indirectly related to him.

It is not uncommon for such people to have exaggerated murderous intent.

"Who was killed?" Monica asked with interest.

"Several assassins seem to be specifically targeting me." Beta thought for a while and said, "I will continue to go out tomorrow to lure out the enemies who are targeting me and kill them one by one, indirectly weakening Billy's strength."

"Manpower sent by Billy?" Claire was a little surprised.

"Who else but him? Don't think too much about this question."

At this time, Monica turned to Claire and said, "Mr. Marquis, I'm very sorry. Our church has to be concerned about it. Let's talk again when we have the opportunity."

Claire wanted to ask me to stay too, but he knew he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he said, "Okay, then I'll go back first. But I don't have many guards with me. Can you, my mercenary friend, escort me?" Me a ride?”

Monica frowned.

Beta smiled and said, "Okay."

Beta and Claire then left the church together. The two of them sat in the carriage, silent to each other. They could only hear the sound of the wheels turning.

About ten minutes later, Claire couldn't help but break the silence. Although he pretended to be calm, there was still some panic in his eyes: "Mr. Mercenary, what is your relationship with Ms. Celia?"

"The employer and the employee." Beta replied expressionlessly.

Claire's tense expression relaxed slightly: "I wonder what kind of hobbies you have?"

"That's a lot, but gold coins are my favorite." Beta lied casually.

Claire looked happy and said hurriedly: "In this case, how about I pay ten gold coins and hire you to protect my safety for a month?"

Beta saw the young man's thoughts clearly, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "Do you know how many gold coins it costs Celia to hire me a month?"

"How many?"

"Fifty gold coins a month." Beta chuckled: "And it comes at the beginning of every month, just because I'm afraid I won't be satisfied and won't want to stay in the church anymore."

Claire's mouth widened: "This is impossible, even a magic master only costs this price. Do you think your role is greater than that of a magic master?"

"Of course there is no comparison between me and the magic master." Beta smiled a little evilly: "But as long as Ms. Celia thinks I am worth the price."

"This is unreasonable."

Claire returned to her manor and fell into confusion. In his opinion, paying ten gold coins a month to hire a mercenary is already quite a prodigal act.

And Monica actually paid out fifty gold coins a month.

During the heyday of their Marquis Palace, before their father passed away, their monthly income, excluding various expenses and miscellaneous expenses, was more than fifty gold coins.

Now, the net profit of the entire Marquis Mansion is less than thirty gold coins per month. He is willing to pay ten gold coins every month to hire someone, which is already a huge amount of money.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Celia’s handiwork was even greater.

Where did she get so much money!
