424 How much is a wife worth?
Although Bart didn't want to be a subordinate of the nobles, he was soft-hearted and had short hands.
Bart looked at the money bag in his hand, and thought about the fact that he had just swallowed half of the roasted lamb... He took all the food and took it, and he really had no confidence to refuse the recruitment of the party.
And most importantly, after a brief conversation and getting along just now, the two even had a fight. He could feel that the Red Priest seemed to be essentially different from most nobles.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he knew that a typical noble would not be a mercenary, and a typical noble mage did not have the fierce melee attack method of the Red Lord. Not only did the power and speed were scary, but he could also attack feints.
I hope my immediate boss this time is not the moody person I was the last time.
Bart looked at the purse in his hand and fifteen gold coins, which was a huge sum that he had never received. What Beta said not long ago appeared in his mind again.
"It's time to change the sword." Bart murmured, turned around and walked towards the blacksmith shop.
In the hotel, Shirley smiled and leaned back and forth on the bed... Just now, in the mansion space, she saw the show from the beginning.
Beta fooled her like a charlatan, and Bart was easily fooled, especially when the latter had his constipated expression and his "cool" running posture made her laugh wildly.
Jessica started to do work in the room... The little maid felt that it was her responsibility as a maid to create a clean space for her master no matter where she was.
She is very satisfied with her current life, eating and sleeping well every day. The only disadvantage is that she has grown too slowly and she has not grown up with steamed buns. When will she let her owner touch it?
After finishing laughing, Shirley lay down behind Beta and asked, "Since she lacks combat power, why don't Emma come to help too?"
Beta shook her head: "She is the little princess of Holevin. If she joins the envoy, the specifications of the envoy will be too high. This is not the specifications that should be found in the Allied Powers, but will give people the feeling of going to Jin to meet the sect leader and marrying each other."
Shirley nodded: "That's true."
Beta continued: "It would be great if Kyle could come and help, but this kid is busy taking care of the children and has to learn to manage the Winter City. He doesn't want to bother him. Are there any other suitable candidates?"
"Actually there is another person that is very suitable." Shirley hesitated for a moment and said, "Mrs. Sophia."
Beta shook her head: "She is not suitable."
"Hehe, don't lie to yourself." Shirley's slender fingers drew a circle on Beta's chest: "Sophia is an assassinator, and her strength is close to the master level. Whether it is a scout or an anti-assassination combat power, it is extremely useful. And most importantly, Sophia will not betray you. She also has good social skills. If you want to fully control the envoys, she can help."
Beta still shook her head: "She is not suitable to join our envoy."
"Beta, you're not rational enough this time." Shirley smiled and said, "Just because of her relationship with you, you're right that she's not suitable for her. In fact, you can rest assured that there are so many people in the messenger group that you want to do something, but there is no possibility."
Beta closed his eyes and said nothing.
Shirley continued: "Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you have other better candidates, you can look for it."
In fact, Beta has to admit that Shirley is very reasonable.
The city lord's wife Sophia is quite suitable for joining the envoy. Whether it is Alice or Katy, they have their own focus. Now that Alice has begun to take over the Tonggu City, everything is up to her, so she naturally has no skills. As the bishop of the temple, Katy cannot spend a month running around with him.
In contrast, the city lord's wife Sophia seems extremely idle.
Although she is the nominal manager of Wind City now, the one who is actually managing Wind City is Kyle and Barbara. She spends more time teasing her grandson.
After half an hour of consideration, Beta sighed and decided to follow Shirley's advice and bring Sophia into the envoy. However, before meeting Sophia, he had to meet another person first.
Uther, the lord of Wind City and Lanbo Port.
Lanbo Port in winter is more lively than usual. Due to heavy snow, it becomes quite difficult to travel to the commerce house on land, while Lanbo Port is a non-freezing port. The winter is, the more caravans there are. They rely on sea transportation to transport their goods to other places.
Beta waited at least an hour in the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion before waiting for the dusty Uther to come back from outside.
It was not that Uther wanted to neglect Beta, but that he surrounded a sudden emergence of bear man tribe in the mountains and forests outside the city, which delayed some time.
"What a distinguished guest." Uther took off his dusty coat, sat opposite Beta, and said in a gentle tone: "I guess there must be something important to come this time."
Beta looked at Uther for a while, and then said, "The eldest prince gave me a task. It's a little troublesome. I need manpower. So I want to borrow someone from you."
"Kyle?" Uther was a little surprised: "He is your student, and you have the right to help him do anything, so you don't need to confirm it with me."
Beta said plainly: "It's not Kyle, it's your wife, Sophia."
Uther calmed down, then looked directly at Beta and asked slowly, "Why is it her? Kyle is more suitable than her."
"I also hope Kyle can come and help me," Beta said helplessly. "But now Kyle is a father, and I think Ms. Babala doesn't want him to walk around. Most importantly, I lack a role that can act as a scout in the team."
Uther knew that his wife's strength was getting stronger and stronger. As a scout, she was indeed more than enough.
Babala is a little woman. Her biggest wish is that her husband and children will always be with her, and she does not want them to do anything dangerous.
Uther knew his daughter's character very well. He shook his head and said, "I am a man and I will not allow my wife to be borrowed by another man."
"One percent of the gold mine's income." Beta gently patted the back of his left hand with his right hand: "I remember I have 20 percent of the gold mine's income. If Ms. Sophia is willing to come and help me, then I am willing to give up 10 percent of it and return it to you."
Uther thought less than three seconds before laughing, "The deal is done! But I hope you can bring my wife back safely."
“This is nature.”
Beta agreed gently, then turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly, he felt that the world was a little bored.
It was so easy to borrow Sophia... so easy that he felt a little unexpected.
Is the income from 10% of the gold mine equal to his wife? Beta is somewhat unable to understand Uther's thoughts.
This is the conflict between the concepts of the people on earth and the indigenous people in this world.
