Chapter 413 Frankness


Chapter 413 Frankly

A slight knock on the door came, and everyone who was cleaning the room stopped.

Sevia frowned. She and her group had just arrived. They didn’t have much social contact in Port Fulan. Who would come to visit them?

Is it McKinley?

Signing everyone to get ready, Sylvia came to the door cautiously, and then opened the store door gently.

"Is it you?"

She was slightly surprised by the person standing at the door. It turned out to be the Blue Witch Ladi Setia whom she had just met yesterday.

"It's me, and not just me."

Sevia immediately looked behind her, and the person standing behind Setia made her heart suddenly rise.

It turned out to be the local lord and his guards!

She had seen Paul before at the opening ceremony of the Customs Union, so she recognized him.

“You actually followed me and really betrayed me?”

Fear and anger suddenly occupied Sylvia’s mind. In addition to being approached by the local lord, her fear also came from another reason - she didn't know anything about the Blue Witch's tracking.

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became tense, and the companions behind Sylvia immediately began to make various gestures or mutter something silently.

Seeing this, the guards behind Paul immediately took out their muskets and pointed them at Sylvia and others. Of course, the wizards who had just arrived in the northwest bay did not know what this meant.

"Haha, don't say it so harshly, Miss Assitini."

At this tense moment, Paul, who was standing behind La Di, suddenly said.

"I'm here to visit you. I have no other intention. Please put down your guard."

He tried his best to show his kind side.

“Look, I personally come to the door as a lord, doesn’t it show my sincerity?”

Hearing these words, Sylvia's frown slightly relaxed, and she waved her hand to stop her companions behind her.

Paul's guards also put away their muskets.

Their muskets have been loaded, and the wizards don't know that they have just walked around the door of hell.

Sevia gave way to the door and made an invitation gesture, "Please come in, Lord."

La Di was the first to enter the house, followed by Paul and the guards. .

Paul sat down at a round table, and Ladi stood beside him.

He stretched out his hands, "First of all, I want to make it clear that I welcome people like you to come to the Northwest Bay, 'Alchemists'."

Savy Ya was unmoved. She stared at Paul, as if she wanted to see some sincerity in his eyes.

"I know that you have just experienced a lot of hardships in Cape Bay, so you are full of distrust of everything around you. This will take time to heal."

Paul is minding his own business. Said: "In order to build trust between us from scratch, I am here to make a guarantee to you. As long as you abide by the laws here and pay taxes on time, I will treat you as ordinary people and will not do anything to you." Special treatment'.

Sevia interpreted Paul's meaning - he would not kill or expel them, but he would not treat them as guests like some nobles who were keen on occultism.

Ha, that’s fine. Now I and my companions are living peacefully. As for the suggestion made by the Blue Witch that day, it was just a whim.

"Thank you, Lord Grayman. I have sworn to you here - I will definitely abide by your laws and not do anything illegal."

Sevia said to you Paul bowed.

Anyway, a similar oath has already been said in front of Ladi Setia, so it is no big deal to say it again in front of this lord.

"Okay!"

Paul clapped his hands and continued: "In addition, I hope you will not use your... special functions in front of ordinary people, otherwise if it causes a sensation, it will be quite good to me. It's troublesome." Sylvia nodded and said, "Don't worry, we don't want our identity to be exposed."

Paul said a little embarrassedly, "That's good. In addition...after all, you have abilities that others do not have, so..."

Humph, are you going to break your promise so soon? Just now he said that we would not be treated specially.

Sylvia sneered inwardly.

"I hope you can take the initiative to report to my people once a week, just at Fulan Port. If you want to go far away - such as Huijiao Bay - forget it, but you must also report in advance "

After saying this, Paul felt a little uneasy. If the other party didn't agree, he would have to take some tough measures.

Sevia, on the other hand, put down her guard a lot after hearing Paul's words. Although it felt like she was being watched, she had some trust in the man in front of her.

She knows what a wizard is like in the eyes of the world. Suddenly a stranger comes out and says he trusts you unconditionally. He must have some ulterior motive - at least that's what he thinks in his heart.

With a slight sigh, Sylvia walked to her companion and discussed in a low voice in Cape Bay dialect.

"I think it's okay! People like us should be on guard."

"But aren't we here to seek freedom?"
< br>"Freedom? Are you willing to go elsewhere and continue to live a life of fear and precariousness all day long."

"Yes, I think it is worth sacrificing a certain amount of freedom in exchange for a stable life. .”

After much discussion, the companions finally agreed to Paul's plan.

Sevia returned to Paul, "Lord Grayman, my companions and I are willing to accept your proposal."

Her voice no longer held the previous indifference.

“Very good!”

Paul nodded with satisfaction.

"You don't need to take the initiative to run errands to report. This will easily attract attention. Aren't you going to open a store? My people will come as tax officials."

"Thank you for being so thoughtful."

"This is just a preliminary management measure. If your performance can gain my trust, you will eventually be able to live the same life as the ordinary residents of Arda."

Sevia's heart Overjoyed, he saluted and said: "Thank you very much."

"Okay! The matter has been resolved, and it's time for me to leave. I hope you can integrate into the life of the Northwest Bay as soon as possible."


Paul stood up and planned to leave.

"Please walk slowly, Master Grayman."

Sylvia sent Paul to the door.

Paul comforted her: "I think the day when you can walk on earth openly and honestly will come soon."

"I hope so, if other people in power have the power to ask you It would be nice to have such an open mind.”

After hearing this, Paul laughed loudly: "Hahaha! I also feel that I am one of the most enlightened people in the world."

Ahem! Sylvia didn't expect Paul to evaluate herself like this.

La Di followed Paul and walked over. When she passed Sylvia, she gave her a warning.

"I hope that when we meet in the future, we will not use petty tactics."
