Chapter 39 Steward
When Fari and Kate returned to the royal city of Porta, they were unexpectedly directly summoned by the royal family. The three of them came to the palace inexplicably, only to find that the emperor himself was not there, and there was only one person standing in the huge palace.
This man was dressed in decent and luxurious clothes, with a serious expression but a hint of arrogance. His slender figure just stood there motionless. Fali and his partner felt the pressure of being arrogant. The man in front of them was at least a warrior at the level of a god of war.
Kate looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression. He knew this person. To be precise, in the entire Pota Empire, only Kate knew this person in the hall.
Will Sweet is the only person in the Sweet family who does not have the blood of the Sweet family. The surname Sweet was given to him by the family. Weir is the top steward of the Sweet family and holds one of the most powerful positions.
It can even determine the life or death of a family branch. At this time, this person will definitely not come to this place because of himself.
"Master Kate, the master of the house and your parents are very concerned about your safety, so Weir is here to take you back to the Kotler Empire." There was a hint of respect in the words, but it was more of stating a fact.
, which makes people feel irresistible.
In fact, in terms of his status in the family, Weir is just a housekeeper, or to put it more bluntly, a servant.
But Kate had to listen to what he said!
"My grandpa actually cares about my safety. It's really..." Kate did not continue because he knew that Weir understood what he meant.
"As far as family ties are concerned, you are the flesh and blood of the Sweet family after all. You retain the blood of the Sweet family. Although internal battles are inevitable, this is not a way to promote the prosperity of the family. The head of the family has no choice but to do it.
Master, please look away."
The calm expression on the butler's face made Farid feel aggrieved for Kate, but the Sweet family could ask the royal family to give up the main hall, and he, a small general, was really not qualified to speak.
"I don't want to hear this. The reason why the head of the family values me so much is just because I was lucky enough to save my life. I did it to protect the family's face. I'm right." Kate said with a cold smile.
Unexpectedly, the butler shook his head in denial, "To be honest, the young master's life and death are not enough to shake the family's prestige. The reason why I pay attention to you is because a strong man of the martial saint level visited the Sweet family..."
"Wandering Blue Fire Galedo?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment and then said with a clear face, "Young Master really knows."
"As expected, the head of the family cares more about the family." Kate looked disgusted.
The conversation between the master and the servant made Fali next to him confused. This was an internal matter of the Sweet family. It seemed that there was no need for him to intervene. Should he withdraw from the hall?
While Fari was thinking, the butler turned his attention to him and asked: "General Fari fought with the Orc Empire a few days ago. You really spared no effort to save your troops and fight again!"
Fali's face suddenly turned ugly. This was a naked insult!
"The Orc Emperor is powerful, has a famous teacher, and is as strong as the clouds. If this general is not that stupid, even though this battle is defeated, the Pota Empire has not lost an inch of land, and all his soldiers have the strength to fight again. Your Majesty
Although the family is also powerful, whether it is guilty or not depends on the imperial royal family. When is it your turn for a little servant to come here and shout!"
When Fali gets angry, he doesn't care whether the other person is a Martial God or a Martial Saint. He should let his anger burst out, otherwise, he will be suppressed!
"Ignorant rat." The anger on the butler's face flashed away. The life and death of a general of a small vassal empire can only change in a matter of seconds. It is not worth getting angry. The first priority is to complete the things assigned by the family leader.
Kate knew Fali's temper, and was slightly grateful at the same time. Fari's verbal rebuttal blurred the oppression between him and the housekeeper, which was similar to that of superiors and subordinates. In a disguised way, he took advantage of Kate's influence.
"Since the butler is here to take me back to the family, when will we leave?" Kate looked at the butler with disgust and asked.
"Master, don't be anxious, wait until I meet the Martial Saint of the Orc Empire." The butler said calmly regardless of Kate's expression.
The two people present were stunned after hearing the butler's words, but Kate, who was familiar with family rules, reacted first and asked in a deep voice: "What does the head of the family mean?"
"The Orc Empire is not worthy of having a strong man at the level of a Martial Saint, so the head of the family asked me to bring him back to the Kotler Empire. From what the young master said, it seems that he has met this strong man. I wonder if I can recommend him?" the housekeeper.
His demeanor and tone were very mean, and Fari still retained a trace of reason despite the atmosphere.
"Your Excellency Lien will never see a dog slave like you!" Fali gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence.
The butler's expression changed again and he said with a sneer: "There is no deal that the Sweet family can't make."
"Butler, even if I recommend you, you can't make this deal!" Kate knew that the butler in front of her was an unfathomable master, and maybe a strong martial artist. However, relying on her understanding of Lien these days, Si
It is a fantasy that the Witte family wants to bribe Lean.
"From what the young master said, it seems that you don't want to cooperate with me anymore?" the butler asked with a frosty face. As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the hall suddenly increased, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Fali's face, while Kate's body
I almost fell down in a flash.
The housekeeper was also a little surprised when he saw Kate's performance. The young master who used to be only obedient now showed no trace of discouragement. On the contrary, the determination in his eyes was far beyond that of other peers in the clan. This time during this trip to the Orc Empire, this young master
What has happened to the young master?
With a trace of doubt, the butler lowered his coercion and suddenly rushed to Kate, pulled open his clothes, and a dazzling scar came into view. The butler's face went through four changes: surprise, shock, understanding, and confusion.
Kate and Fari were also puzzled by the butler's actions and expression changes, but the butler had already retreated.
It turns out that the disaster of life and death has changed the young master, which is a blessing to the Sweet family. The housekeeper thought so in his heart. Looking at the puzzled expressions of the two people, he couldn't help but relax and said: "Since the young master already has an idea,
The old slave can go alone."
After the butler finished speaking, the temperature of the hall returned to normal, and Fali also let out a long breath. The pressure of the strong was more stressful for him than Kate, but when he raised his head, he found that the butler was staring at him.
For a moment, the two people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere became frozen.
"My foundation is really not that bad, and my understanding is pretty good. It's a pity that my cultivation is poor. Are you willing to practice with me?"
…,…?
Farid opened his mouth and looked at the housekeeper in front of him who he called an old slave. He didn't react for a moment. He pointed a trembling finger at the housekeeper and then at himself. When he saw the housekeeper nodding, he turned to look at Kate, and found that Kate was also the same.
The face is dull.
After all, Kate reacts quickly. As long as Fali becomes a butler, she doesn't have to waste time rescuing him. However, she still has to handle the credential matter by herself. The difficulty involved is very high, and it is likely to cause shock to the top management of the empire and cause turmoil in the empire.
Storm of the Great Empire.
"Since the housekeeper wants to accept you as his disciple, why haven't you thanked the general yet?" Kate said with a normal expression. Fali is also a smart man. Once he climbs the big tree of the Sweet family, his crimes in the Pota Empire will not matter.
There will still be punishment, but a life will definitely be spared.
But Fa Li is also a kind-faced person. He just called someone an old slave. If he bowed down now, wouldn't he be a disciple of the old slave? For a moment, Fa Li hesitated.
Whoever the butler was, he understood what Fali was thinking at a glance, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I am a graduate of Kotler Imperial College. I can still teach you some skills. As for apprenticeship, I don't have time."
not many."
With this step, Fali could of course go down. After bowing, the butler asked him to step down.
"The young master just wanted to say something. Now there is no one within a hundred meters except Fali, so the young master can say it." Kate was stunned by the respectful expression on the butler's face, which made him very uncomfortable.
.
After thinking for a while, Kate asked: "I wonder if the housekeeper has a magic crystal that records images? Or a scroll?"
"What do you want to do, young master? Image magic crystal, this is very expensive..." The butler became more and more surprised. The behavior of this least promising candidate for heir really surprised him.
The main business of the Sweet family is magic crystals. It can be said that at least one-third of the magic crystals circulating on the mainland are controlled by the Sweet family. Although a good image magic crystal is expensive, it is not worth it to the Sweet family.
To the Witte family, it is just a number. Kate asked because she knew that there would be a butler in front of her.
I just don’t know if he will give it to me!
The butler stared at Kate and looked him up and down. Then he flipped his hand and a fist-sized blue stone suddenly appeared in his hand. However, the stone was not handed over to Kate's hand immediately. The butler asked seriously: "Young Master
, are you sure you want to use this? According to family regulations, your year's living expenses can only be wasted on this stone. Do you want to think about it again?"
"Butler, don't worry, I can still make back the money I paid for a piece of magic crystal."
"One hundred thousand a year?" The butler put the magic crystal into Kate's hand and asked with some doubt.
"One hundred thousand?" Kate was stunned when she took the stone. Her annual living expenses were only 10,000. When did it increase to 100,000?
The two of them just stared at each other with doubts on their faces, and then the housekeeper suddenly held his forehead and exhaled and said: "Old slave, I forgot, your current living expenses have been adjusted to 100,000. This piece of high-grade magic crystal is open to the public.
The price is one hundred thousand."
After hearing this, Kate smiled relaxedly and said: "Don't say one hundred thousand, even one hundred million, I will order this magic crystal!"
"But Master..." The housekeeper seemed to think of something, but he endured it for a while.
"What's wrong?" Kate was immersed in the joy of success. When she saw the butler hesitated to speak, she opened her mouth to ask why.
"The top-grade image magic crystal requires the magic power of a third-level mage. You..." The butler stopped talking again, because Kate's face across from him also turned ugly.
