Chapter 32 One Thousand Gold Coins and One Condition
Looking at the face in front of him, Raven showed a hint of surprise at first, and then smiled softly: "What a coincidence, we meet again."
Because in The candidate maid in front of him turned out to be the female bartender he met the night he visited Goldsmith Town - Patty.
Her chestnut hair was no longer coiled into a whip, but draped over her shoulders. With a confused and panicked look in her eyes, she began to argue eagerly: "Lord Baron, I didn't know it was you, That day I..."
"Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong." Raven said with a smile: "But why did you come to apply for a maid? Where are you at the pub?"
Petty lowered his head, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "After you left that day, my father had a big fight with Pompeo and the others and destroyed most of the tavern."
"Later, after closing, he Started insulting me, talking about me and me My mother is all the same..." She bit her lip gently and struggled to say what happened next: "They are all very unruly women, and they even beat me and kicked me out of the house."< br>
“He told me that if not If I could make back the losses to the tavern, I wouldn't be allowed to go home. I even gave me a set of very... very revealing clothes and told me to do a job that suits me and let me go and fight with those people standing on the street. "
" I didn’t want to do that, so I spent the night in the hotel with the change I had. The next day, I saw the announcement of your recruitment of maids.”
Raven nodded slowly, he guessed. A nice guy like old Jones would get mad.
Well, in fact, all men will get angry when they encounter that kind of thing. Shortness is a constant pain for a man, and few men are as short as old Jones. After all, it is a "pacifier".
But it is a bit shameless to vent your anger on people close to you, or even on your innocent daughter, without considering interests or family ties, in order to make up for your poor self-esteem. Out of business.
"What I want is a personal maid." Raven said slowly: "You should know what kind of responsibilities this requires."
"Yes, Lord Baron." A blush rose on Di's face. She raised her head and looked directly at Lei. Wen's eyes: "The head maid told me that I fully understand the responsibilities involved."
"Really?" Raven smiled playfully: "You know, once you agree, starting from today, you It will belong to me completely.”
"I am willing..." Petty's voice trembled slightly, with shyness and nervousness: "I am willing to give everything I have to the Baron."
As a lord, Raven is majestic and wealthy enough ; As a man, Raven is not only funny, but also extremely gentlemanly and reliable.
The performance in the tavern that night made Petty have a good impression of Raven. Now that he knows that the baron he will serve is him, of course he is even more willing to do so.
"Very good." Raven said: "From today on, you will be my personal maid."
His eyes swept over the other three maids: "As for you, each of you Go to the head maid to receive a reward. If you want to stay, you can stay as an ordinary maid; if you don’t want to, you can leave on your own.”
The three girls could not hide the disappointment in their eyes, but they did not dare to question the Baron's decision and said in unison: "Yes, Lord Baron!"
When the three of them left, Raven's face With a little smile on his face, he waved to Petty: "Come here, let me see."
Petty stepped forward and stood timidly in front of Raven.
She is indeed suitable for maid outfit. Her tall figure and plump figure are set off extremely seductively by the tight and attractive clothes.
Since tasting Fleurla, Raven has been hungry for more than two months.
Grasping her soft palm, Raven could clearly feel the other person's body temperature rising due to nervousness. He kneaded it gently with his fingers and pulled her soft body into his arms, burying his head. Into that soft mass.
Petti said with a hint of panic: "Sir, it's still... it's still daytime!"
"Then why can't I see anything?" Raven made a joke. Patty exclaimed and picked her up by the waist. Come: "It's rare to have a day off today. As a personal maid, you have to find out my habits as an adult."
With a quick kick, Lei Wen kicked open the door and held the soft arms in his arms. His hot body was thrown onto the bed, and Shen Sheng jumped on it.
"Sir...this is my...first time..."
"Sir, curtains...!"
After a hearty battle, Raven sat on the bedside refreshed and took a sip of Angel Tears.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on Patty on the bed.
The newly promoted personal maid had just fulfilled her duties and could no longer bear the beating and fell into a deep sleep. Her hair was messy and stuck to her face. Her pursed lips were slightly red and swollen, and her brows were still slightly frowning. Wrinkled.
She was lying on her side, half of her body hidden under the thin summer quilt, her shoulders were round and sexy, and her flexible curves were fully exposed from her ribs to her waist, and then from her waist to her calves.
She may not be slim, but her regular labor has made her body very strong, especially her plump and powerful thighs, which gave Raven a rare enjoyment.
Getting up from the bed gently, the fluctuation of the bed woke up the maid. Patty opened her eyes: "Sir, let me help you change your clothes."
She wanted to get up, but As soon as his legs moved, he frowned and let out a low cry.
"Lie down honestly." Raven turned around and looked at her with a smile: "You will serve me later."
Petty lay back on the bed, using a thin quilt Cover yourself up.
After getting dressed, Raven walked out the door. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Petty ask shyly and nervously: "Sir, have I... done my duty?"
Leaven Qing He smiled, turned around and said, "I'm very satisfied."
After that, he walked out of the door.
Petty immediately covered herself with a quilt. Although the head maid taught her that sentence, she was able to ask it just now. It was really, really embarrassing!
The time for rest is always short.
Within two days, that is, on the eighth day after Raven arrived in Goldshire, the first batch of goods, one hundred and twenty sets of leather armors, arrived, and the long-prepared recruitment process began.
The test items are still the three that Raven designed before: lifting stones, balancing beams, and shooting with bows and arrows.
However, in order to select the best among the best, a long-distance race around Goldshire was added. In the end, all 105 people were recruited, and Simon, Link and Goyle were appointed as platoon members. Long, Raven had three teams of thirty-six people.
Unlike Eagle Town, the citizens of Gold Flash Town do not have to worry about food and clothing. Merely distributing food cannot inspire such great enthusiasm.
Lei Wen followed suit and implemented the military salary plan that had been brewing for a long time - ordinary soldiers were paid one silver coin plus twenty copper coins per month, while his own soldiers were paid three silver coins plus six per month. Ten copper coins, and the salary of the three platoon leaders will be doubled on this basis.
In order to win people's hearts, Raven handed over the first two months' salary to his own soldiers in front of all the recruits.
A total of only 180 silver coins were spent, which is 1.8 gold coins, but it inspired the enthusiasm of all the recruits and veterans, and let them know who was the one who gave them the money.
Being a lord does not require you to do everything yourself. Eric and the three new platoon leaders are enough to do a good job in training. However, in order to strengthen his majesty in the army, Raven still accompanied the team to supervise in the first few days, and also I personally ordered to deal with several unruly guys.
So Raven has been extremely tired these days, and needs the "warm service" of her personal maid every morning.
On the morning of the twelfth day in Goldshire, Raven Waking up in the warm service again, he stretched out his hand to touch the soft body, with a smile in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Lord Baron, Priest Lux is here to visit."
"Why is she here?" Raven was stunned and patted the girl below him on the shoulder: " Petty, stop."
"Okay, Lord Baron." Petty stood up timidly and started to change Raven's clothes with red cheeks.
This is what Raven likes about her. She is not only obedient, but she still maintains the shyness of a girl even though her whole body has been seen by him.
Seeing the dress in the mirror, Raven said: "I don't want this one, it's still lined with cotton."
"Sir, do you still need to wear armor today?" Petty asked unexpectedly: "You have been stuck in the training ground for three days in a row."
Having said that, she still put on the armor He took out the unsightly cotton coat and helped Raven put it on bit by bit.
"Yes, the soldiers in Goldshire are better physically and smarter, but they also have more ideas and are somewhat disobedient to discipline." Raven said helplessly: "Now I finally know why. General Qi said that there is no need for urban soldiers.”
Of course Petty didn’t understand this sentence. In fact, she didn’t try to understand it and never asked. She did her best as a personal maid. duty.
After putting on the enchanted chain armor and just pushing open the door, Raven was stunned because Lux was waiting at the door of his room.
What she wore today was not the priest's robe that she usually wears, but the goose-yellow long skirt that is commonly seen on ordinary girls. It matched her fair and delicate skin, making her whole body seem to be soaked in the light. The braids on the shoulders give off a youthful and sweet atmosphere.
Standing at the door, Lux smelled the smell of hormones that had not completely dissipated in the room, and saw Petty's somewhat rosy face. She immediately understood what had just happened in the room, and she turned slightly away Eye salute: "Baron Raven."
As she said that, she His eyes fell on Patty's face: "This is...?"
"My personal maid, Patty." Raven introduced: "Petty, this is from the Eagle Town Church Priest Lux.”
Petty saluted respectfully: “Priest Lux.”
Lux nodded in return and asked: "Baron Raven, you are wearing a suit of armor. Do you have anything important to do?"
"Just to train the newly recruited private soldiers." Raven said: "You Do you have any business to do here?”
“No, no.” Lux shook his head and said, “I just came to Gold Flash Town to buy some daily necessities and stopped by to see you.”
"In this case, you might as well stay a little longer, make a list of the things you want to buy, and let my men handle it." Raven said with a smile: "Besides, there are also tears of angels here, you can do it at any time You can use them all.”
Hearing Angel’s Tears, Lux’s eyes lit up: “That’s great…but I have a merciless request.”
"There is no need to be so polite between the two of us." Raven said: "No matter what you want, anything is fine." Lux said: "Then please call me Lux. Always use the honorific title. It’s so tiring.”
“Of course, but that’s not fair,” Raven said easily, “Then please call me Raven too.”< br>< br>"Okay." Lux's sapphire eyes showed a smile: "Raven, if possible, can you let me see how you train soldiers? I'm actually very curious, what a baron has to do every day What."
"It may be very hard, Lux..." After swallowing the priest who was near his mouth, Raven said, "That is not an easy job."
Lux showed a bright smile: "I am also a second-level magician. Don't think of me as a weak little girl."
"Okay, then come with me."
Raven and Lux walked out of the government hall side by side and walked northeast of Goldshire.
"Baron Raven, you are still single, is it... too early to hire a personal maid now?" Lux asked seemingly casually.
“But I am a man.” With a smile on his face, Raven patted his shoulder: “And I am strong. As far as I know, the Holy See does not overly promote abstinence. ”
"But you are also a lord after all, and you shouldn't waste your energy on other things." Lux suddenly said with her big eyes flashing: "Besides, you will always have a wife in the future."
After saying this , Raven suddenly stopped, and a three-dimensional face approached Lux.
“Yeah!” Lux was startled: “Raven, what are you doing?”
“I’m looking at what my future wife should look like.” Raven He said in a longer voice: "Could she be as beautiful as Miss Lux?"
"Don't, stop talking nonsense..." Lux lowered her head and opened and closed her lips shyly: "I am Where is the priest?”
She felt that her heartbeat had never been so fast.
"Hey, I'm just teasing you." After teasing Lux, Raven was in a good mood: "I hope the Lord of Light won't blame me."
"Raven!" Lux's face With a flash of embarrassment, he looked up and found that Raven had already walked ahead, and quickly followed him.
The day passed quickly.
That night, Lux and Raven returned to the government hall.
The latter went to the bedroom to take off his armor and change clothes, while the former sat at the dining table, resting his chin on one hand, quietly thinking about everything that happened today.
They went to the northwest of Goldsmith Town, where a temporarily opened training ground was located. There were two rows of temporary dormitories next to it. They heard that construction of a real barracks had begun in Eagle Town.
As soon as he entered the training ground, Raven seemed to be a different person, the smile on his face disappeared, and a sense of majesty and murderous intent filled the air, making every private soldier who saw him stay silent.
That is the momentum that only a few high-ranking people possess, such as Marquis Anthony Edwards of the Royal Capital.
Raven did not have to cool down alone in the military camp like many nobles, bringing maids and fruits with him. Like all soldiers, he stood under the scorching sun, but he thoughtfully let Lux stand. In the shadows.
The training process was boring. It was nothing more than standing up straight, lining up, turning left, and turning right. However, Lux watched with gusto. She found that the eyes of the trained soldiers were changing.
She even saw a few guys who had whistled at her before, but now they were completely blind and only followed orders.
Soon she discovered the reason for this change, or one of the reasons.
A brown-haired guy whispered a joke and laughed at Eric's appearance, and then Eric gave him ten strong whips on his back in front of everyone. Angry,
Then Raven took out a potion and drank it in front of everyone. After the wound on his back closed, he immediately returned to the team for training. This man immediately became honest. The look he looked at Eric was filled with resentment, but the look he looked at Raven was full of gratitude.
Lux was shocked. That was a healing potion worth five gold coins. Raven was so generous to his soldiers!
Of course she didn’t know that the potion came from the healing potion Raven obtained from Donald that could be continuously replenished automatically.
Leaven has also conducted experiments on this bottle of potion. It can automatically generate a bottle about every five days, but once the potion leaves the bottle, no matter how it is stored, its effect will be lost within six hours. , the idea of storage and sales fell through, and it can only be used for occasional emergencies.
At noon, Raven ate the same lunch as the private soldiers below - black bread as hard as a stone, paired with a pot of unlimited vegetable stew.
And Raven also took Lux into consideration and specially arranged a small stove for her, but she refused. This move also won her the favor of many private soldiers.
At the end of the day, Lux had a more three-dimensional impression of Raven, and she also had a deep understanding of Raven's hard work.
The summer sun is fierce, the ground at the training ground is baked dry and hard, the air close to the ground is baked and distorted, and the private soldiers are sweating profusely.
Even Lux felt exhausted after the day, let alone Raven, who was wearing heavy chain armor.
But he never cried out that he was tired, nor did he show any sign of fatigue. His steel-like will was simply impressive.
The sound of light footsteps came, and Lux looked up and saw Raven put on casual and loose clothes and sat opposite her: "After a long wait, I wiped my body a little. , the smell of sweat on my body is too strong.”
As he spoke, he picked up the bottle of Angel's Tears and poured a glass of wine for Lux.
"I'll do it." Lux's white fingers touched the bottle and touched Raven's. She retracted her fingers slightly but did not let go of the bottle.
"Okay." Raven withdrew his hand and watched the beautiful woman in front of him pour herself a glass of wine: "How do you feel at the end of the day today?"
"It's really hard. "Lacus sighed: "If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on for a whole day. I'm so tired and I really need someone to serve me."
"That said, you don't mind if I have a personal maid. Really?" Raven raised his eyebrows.
"This..." Lux lowered her head: "How many maids you have, what does it have to do with me."
Looking at her shy look, Raven laughed.
Hearing this laughter, Lux knew that this was Raven teasing her again, and couldn't help but pout: "I wanted to help you originally, but now... forget it!"
Lei Wen was stunned for a moment: "Is there any news about the mage's potion?"
The Church of Light has always been a big seller of god-given potions - of course, in their words, it is "to piety." A worthy return for the generosity of believers.”
Before leaving Goldsmith Town, Raven asked Lux about it and got the exact price of the second-level mage potion from her. He also knew that it could not only be bought with money.
Lux pursed her lips: "Huh, it's gone now."
"Alas..." Raven suddenly sighed: "If this is the case, then fate has not brought me Let’s connect with the path of the mage.”
Lux didn’t answer, and looked away angrily.
“The Griffith family has been burdened with a blood curse. For hundreds of years, no one has been able to live beyond the age of forty. I originally thought that if I walked on the path of a mage, I could unlock this curse. The secret of the curse, unlock the lingering shackles on our people.”
Having said this, Lei Wen sighed quietly: "Now it seems that I am destined to not be able to cross this threshold. I don't know if my cursed bloodline should be passed down."
Hearing Raven say this, Lux's heart suddenly softened, and she wrapped her fingers around the ends of her braids: "Actually... it's not impossible."
"Really?" Raven's eyes lit up.
“I knew you were coaxing me again!” Lux pouted, but she also knew that what Raven said was true, so she told the truth: “I received a reply from Bishop Thomas. It said that I could be given a quota of second-level mage’s divine potions, but the donation of two thousand gold coins was enough. The amount of the payment cannot be less, and it can only be kept until the end of the month at the latest.”
The Holy See has the right to use the empire’s inn system, and it uses the best one, and it can be reached from Eagle Town within ten days. Walking back and forth from Meng'en City, I guess I worked very hard and shortened the one-month journey to one-third.
"This..." Raven frowned.
Lux asked: "Is there any problem?"
"I don't have that many gold coins on hand for the time being." Raven said helplessly: "Although I got a sum of money before, A considerable part of it has been spent on the construction of Eagle Town. Now I can only use a maximum of 1,000 gold coins. Can I give it another month? By then the next payment will be received, and it should be almost done. "
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Lux shook her head, and the flowing blond hair on her forehead was scattered: "I have no personal relationship with Bishop Thomas. Even this time, he only cares about my teacher. I only agreed to save my face."
Leaven frowned deeply. If he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to get this potion before chaos breaks out in Nord Province.
Looking at his frowning eyes, Lux said intentionally or unintentionally: "Actually... I can't lend you 1,000 gold coins first."
"What?" Raven doubted herself. I misheard: "1,000 gold coins, that's not a small amount of money, Lacus, you must not do anything that violates the canon!"
"What are you thinking about?" Lacus said angrily: "I am You can’t misappropriate tithes. Besides, even if you can, it won’t be as much as 1,000 gold coins.”
Leaven touched his nose awkwardly: “I’m overthinking it, but you don’t. So much money?”
“You don’t need to worry about it, Lord Baron.” Lux said with a little pride and mystery unique to a girl, “Anyway, the money came from a legitimate source.”< br>
A mischievous light flashed in her eyes:
"But, if you want these 1,000 gold coins, you need to agree to a condition."
