Chapter 268 Caesar's Invitation

"I don't know if I should talk too much, but you seem to be in some trouble now." Caesar was no longer in a hurry to leave. "I can probably guess what you are thinking. There are many kinds of power in this world. The power of individuals is undoubtedly the most reliable, but it is difficult to achieve a significant improvement in a short period of time. So sometimes it is not a good choice to use the power of the collective. Don't worry, I'm not coercing you to become my woman, but if you really need strength now, I suggest you consider joining our Andre family."

"The Andrei family is a veteran wealthy family in the south. It has a strong influence in the Free City State. In the training of magicians, if the family claims to be the second and no nobles dare to be the first, we will recruit some potential newcomers to serve the family every year. There is no need to worry about freedom. The family manages this part of the personnel quite relaxed and has no mandatory orders. On the contrary, after joining the Andrei family, you can get our protection. At least no one in the Free City State dares to make any more decisions. At the same time, you can get some resources every month to improve your cultivation speed. In addition, there are other benefits. If you are interested, I can register for you now and you can exempt you from the assessment."

Caesar did not lie. The situations he introduced before were basically true and reliable. However, there is no free lunch in the world. The Andre family can stand out among the many nobles. How could it be such a charitable master?

The nobles recruit masters to make those masters work hard for their families. If they don’t even have the minimum binding force, then it will be useless to recruit more people.

In fact, this is the real shrewdness of the Andre family. They recruit geniuses by offering a series of loose and generous conditions. Once the recruited people get used to this generous welfare treatment, they will become increasingly inseparable from it. To give the simplest chestnut, the Andre family's name is still very useful in Zhucheng, the southern city. When conflicts arise, as long as you show this golden sign, most people can only pinch their noses and think they are unlucky.

However, these contradictions were only suppressed and not eliminated. The two sides had already formed a bond. Once you lose the protection of Andrei's family one day, the troubles you caused in the past will come one after another.

The same goes for those training resources. Once you get used to the help of those resources, you will become less and less able to bear the price of losing them. More people, like Leo, hope to have more after tasting a little sweetness. Even if these people don’t go to find them, they will come to them and beg for more money to exchange for more resources. Over time, they will also sell their souls to the Andrei family.

Caesar's suggestion seems to be without any problem, but in fact, if Lolo really agrees to him, it will gradually fall into the trap carefully compiled by the Andre family. Especially tonight, Caesar accidentally discovered that the girl actually had an extraordinary desire for power. The young master of the Andre family was calm on the surface, but he was ecstatic in his heart. He liked ambitious people the most, because once people have ambition, they can easily become slaves of desire. On the contrary, what he feared most was a guy like Rob. The owner of the bakery looked so calm and looked like he had no desires. Such a person, the young master of the Andre family could not guess what they wanted.

In Caesar's opinion, Lolo could not find any reason to refuse now, and after she had seen the power of Andre's family, she could never leave it again. At that time, if the girl wanted to go further in the family, she would have to rely on his power. It would be a natural thing for the two to be together in the end.

However, he did not expect Lolo to shake his head, and seemed to say bluntly without even thinking about it, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to serve any nobles."

Although Lolo grew up under the care of his father, the Scarlet Sword did not let her get into too much intrigue among the nobles, she was born into a wealthy family in the north and was the current head of the Breton family. She was naturally sensitive to these minor methods of the nobles. Although she didn't know where Caesar's proposal was wrong, she still noticed the inappropriate one at the first time.

In fact, Caesar's biggest mistake was that he misjudged the girl's enemy. In the face of a giant like the temple, the power and foundation that the nobles were proud of were actually useless. Although this is in the south and the temple's power is relatively weak, no family will offend the knights of the church for an outsider.

The girl knew this very well, so she had no plans for this from the beginning. In fact, it really seems that the Breton family also had many firm allies on the Dawn Continent. The Scarlet Sword made a lot of friends when she was young. Whether it was the classmates she met when she was studying in the capital or the friends she met in her previous adventures, many of whom had a simple identity. However, after Lolo escaped from the family, she had never looked for any of them. Even when she was in the most difficult time, she did not seek help from others.

Firstly, because of Lolo's stubbornness, after seeing the fire at the Horseshoe Hotel, the girl decided not to bring trouble to others. Secondly, because Lolo knew the aristocratic group very well, most of them seemed to have wealth and rights that ordinary people could not imagine, but in fact they were not free. They had too many things to consider and could not act completely according to their own wishes.

Moreover, they did nothing. After the death of Scarlet Sword, almost all the nobles in the North supported Lolo as the head of the Breton family. It was precisely because of the existence of these nobles that the temple did not dare to force her too much. In the following years, at least on the surface, they maintained their respect for Lolo.

The girl's answer surprised the young master of Andre's family. Caesar was still a little unwilling to accept it. However, because of the lessons of the past, he was very cautious this time. He said those words from the perspective of a friend. After being rejected, he did not force him. He said good night to the girl and said good night and said goodbye. However, the smile on the young master Andre's face was somewhat stiff when he left.
