The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 217: Worth an Oscar (1st More)
If it's a sudden burglar, even a woman, Lester needs to find an opportunity to kill her-- someone who's threatening her life, who really wants to make her fall in love with herself?
But as a reward for the smoke mission.
Killing each other amounts to throwing away the reward directly, after all, the smoke mission has made a "tip” - Nunnu Maggie.
The intern maid, Maggie, is the key to the reward and holds the key to the mercenary or magician in front of her. As for how to open the chest with a key, it's definitely not catching little maid Maggie and threatening each other. The best way should be with love.
“Maggie has made a pact with Mrs. Harriet at the grocery store, and the maid, by the count, is half a flower town! ”
Now that he's one of us, Lister is in a very happy mood.
And I started thinking about how to play the cards in my hand —— Maggie, and my personal reputation.
at this moment.
The maid had already said who she wanted to take: “I want to take a maid from the castle, does the baron agree? ”
“The maid in the castle?” Lester pretended to think for a moment, and said, “There are sixteen maids in the castle. Which one do you want to take? ”
“Irene. ”
“Irene Four Fingers?” Lister looked at the mercenary with surprise and didn't expect the other party to play with himself. If he hadn't guessed, he would really be fooled, "Why take Irene away and give me a reason to promise you. ”
“It's just a maid, for what reason? Baron, if you want to try my sword sharp, I don't mind letting you know. ”
“My sword didn't rust either.” Lester did not give in, staring into the bright eyes of the maid.
He's half acting, half gassing.
There's Shakespeare, there's Red Blood Sword, and he's an elite Earth Knight.
As long as they're not Sky Knights, they can't take advantage of themselves.
With the bottom line, you can safely perform - show the lord's love for the colonial people, show his tough side, show a noble image that meets the expectations of the people at the bottom - that under the knighthood, equality does not exist for all, and that a heroic, benevolent lord is the embodiment of justice.
This dilapidated leather armor of a mercenary demonstrates that she is undoubtedly at the bottom of society.
A moment later.
She did step back: “Irene is my sister, is that a good reason? ”
“Your sister?” Lester smiles, "if it's true, I'll call her and confirm it with you face to face. I have no objection to family reunification; in fact, you can come to me directly as a relative. Eileen hired a maid herself in Coral City, and she stayed and the choice was in her own hands. ”
“She didn't know I had a sister. ”
“Sorry, that doesn't make sense, Irene's parents are in Coral City, and they're planting fields for Tulip Chamberlain. I don't think she'll come out with an extra burglar, mercenary, or magician sister. That's why I have to wait till Irene confirms that I can let you take her. ”
“What if I had to take her? ”
“Looks like my behavior made you misunderstand.” Lester inevitably pressed his hand against the handle of the sword of the Red Blood Sword, with a straight line, "It was a knight's glory for me to believe that the people worked for the lord and the lord protected the safety of the colony. I won't allow you to take anybody from Flower Town! ”
This move was full of momentum, generosity and voice.
Pair with his handsome face and a sense of justice.
Of course, a slightly overpowered suspicion - such a righteous lord - appears to be somewhat false.
Opposite the chair, the maid's bright eyes glistened and did not respond to Lester's denunciation of justice for a while. Until Lester was almost embarrassed, she said slowly: "You're not like the lords I killed, Baron. I'll stay in Flower Town for a few days and see what's the difference between you and the other lords. ”
Then he stood up, about a meter and a half tall, very tall and picky.
Lister narrowed her eyes.
Feeling that it's not a good solution to let her go or to stop her - the point is, the strength of the opponent is low and he can't measure it.
It won't be weak anyway.
If her strength is low, the smoke mission need not be so solemn, counting her as a reward.
When she walked to the study door and was about to open it, Lester stood up and followed: “I don't know why you came towards Irene, but I must warn you, don't try to hurt Irene. Not to mention any malicious attempts in Flowertown, and leave your name behind. ”
“Swan.” The maid smiled and did not care about Lester's threats.
It's not a standard female name, it's probably an alias, Lester's guess.
Thomas, who is setting up the living room, sees Lester following a maid out, stunned, and then comes forward to greet him: "Sir. ”
"Thomas, you take this uninterrupted guest, Ms. Swan, out of the castle," Lester said. Counsellor Gaultai was also informed that a new house in the town could be found for Ms. Swan to stay in. ”
It seemed too deliberate to pull it together, and he added: "The money for board and lodging is the same as for the foreign businessmen. ”
Thomas did not know how many more women dressed like this in the castle, but he respected his orders: "Yes, sir. Ms. Swan, please follow me. ”
Wait for Swan to follow Thomas out of the castle.
Butler Carter questioned with confusion: "My lord, this Swan lady, I did not see her enter the castle and I have been wiping the dust in the lobby. ”
“She fell over the wall.” Lister stood at the door and watched Swan's back disappear on a distant avenue, "I'll tell you when the time is right about her whereabouts. As for now, how much you care about the servants in the castle, especially the maids, what grievances they have to settle as soon as possible. ”
Carter definitely stopped asking: "As you wish, sir. ”
“By the way, Mr. Carter, you go call Irene over to my study and I have something to ask her.” Since the female mercenary said it was for Irene, he could not fail to express himself.
Irene rushed to the study.
“Sir, are you looking for me? ”
“Irene, how many brothers and sisters in your family? ”
“I have two brothers. ”
“No sister? Or cousin, cousin? ”
“No, sir. ”
“Are you sure you didn't, for example, give it to someone else's sister as a child? ”
“I don't know about this, but when I was born, my mother was seventeen, and I don't think she had a sister. ”
So Swann is Sister Irene, which basically ruled out, and she's just playing with herself. Lester's heart was set and his tone grew softer: “How was work in the kitchen? ”
“Everything's fine, sir. ”
“Well, if anything happens, you can react directly to Mr. Carter. Little maid interns in the kitchen, as a sister, you have to take care of them more and don't let them get hurt. ”
“Of course I will. ”
End of conversation, send Irene away.
Lister carefully combed the response after encountering Swan and felt that there were a few details that were not handled correctly, some flaws, but overall, his response was quite good.
No abrupt enthusiasm, no deliberate hostility.
This display of courage and kindness also showed, basically as the spirit of spring wind.
Worth an Oscar... at least a golden chicken.
