"Ren Hooper!" He asked the heads of the four major families who had arrived to take their seats respectively. As the host, Colin turned to Ren, "It's been a hard journey. I'll have someone arrange the room. You can retire and rest first!"
Renn is not surprised. Exiles are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party. It is very polite to talk to you with such an attitude!
If Charlotte hadn't brought him here, as the leader of the Jimenez family, Colin wouldn't even have said a word to him.
"Father, I'll take Ren down to rest!" Charlotte stood up.
"Sit down!" Colin stopped her and waved to the side.
The steward came immediately and bowed before him.
Colin whispered a few instructions into the butler's ear, asking him to take Ren away.
"Mr. Hooper, please come with me!" the butler came to Ren's side.
"Okay!" Renn stood up immediately and followed the butler out of the hall without hesitation.
After he left, Colin turned to the city lord and the heads of the four major families: "The situation is serious, no more nonsense! Charlotte, please repeat the specific situation."
"Yes!" Charlotte quickly stood up and explained the situation to the fathers of the four teammates.
After everyone understood the situation, Colin said: "Whether what the Sea Tribe said is true or false, they have hostages in their hands and are occupying Glory Town. It is not a good idea to send troops directly, because the hostages will be harmed! The first thing to do now is,
Even if we gather the strength of our five families, we also ask the Lord of the City to send out the soldiers of Storm City to cooperate fully and start the investigation! Do you have any objections?"
"I don't have a problem with that!" Bill replied.
The heads of the four major families looked at each other, and Qiao asked: "If it is found out that such a thing is true, then it's okay! Just rescue the black sheep and send the captured Sea Clan back. In case it's just an excuse from the Sea Clan, when the time comes
What should we do? We can’t let the hostages fall into a passive position and let the other party take whatever they want! The most important thing is, how to ensure the safety of the hostages and rescue them all?”
"If it is really the excuse of the Sea Clan, we must not make it public first!" Colin said, "We will conduct an investigation openly and secretly send elites to Glory Town to wait for the opportunity. We also ask the Lord of the City to send out spies and recruit adventurers to cooperate. As long as
When you find an opportunity, ignore the other hostages and rescue a few nieces as soon as possible."
"In other words, we need to be prepared for both things?" Ceni thought for a moment and nodded, "As long as we can rescue Kara, we can do anything!"
Several other clan leaders also agreed.
So the five major families and the city lord Bill assigned tasks, discussed the investigation targets that each force was responsible for, and made proper arrangements.
On the other side, Ren followed the butler out of the hall and along the maze-like corridor to the empty and quiet backyard.
The butler stopped, turned around and said to him: "Mr. Hooper, you were in the market and deliberately attracted the young lady with those magical foods. Later, you applied to join the young lady's team in the Adventurers Association, and then followed the young lady to the Barrens.
Tell me clearly! What do you want?"
Renn thought to himself, I didn't deliberately attract Charlotte at the market. I didn't even know about the Jimenez family at the time. But later, I did want to get the support of one of the families through Charlotte or the other four noble ladies in her team.
And protection, blocking Baron Andrew's hostility towards himself.
Although Manado and his men were successfully killed in the Barrens, Baron Andrew may be liquidated for capturing the Sea Tribe in the subsequent investigation. If he wants to gain a foothold in Storm City, he still needs a strong backer.
, so that others will not cause trouble again.
With a strong backing, you can develop steadily and don't think too much.
Obviously, the Jimenez family will carefully investigate anyone who is close to Charlotte. The other party knows what happened before, and there is no need to make excuses.
So he replied: "I was exiled from the Kingdom of Herman and finally walked out of the Sand Sea of Despair. I want to live peacefully in Storm City without any threats!"
"Is this what you want?" the steward asked.
"Yes!"
"The Jimenez family generally does not accept exiles! Since you have the formula for magical food, it is somewhat useful. Bringing the eldest lady back from Glory Town is a great achievement. As long as you hand over the formula, I will give you the Jimenez surname.
, you will be a member of the family from now on!”
Hearing this, Ren was stunned for a few seconds and quickly said: "Lord Jimenez misunderstood! I am just seeking asylum, and do not expect to become a member of the distinguished Jimenez family. I am willing to hand over the formula, just in the future.
Storm City is in trouble and can get help from the Jimenez family!"
In fact, it is to pay protection fees to the Jimenez family, so that all the major forces in Storm City know that they have this family as their backer, and they can do business with confidence in the future. The Jimenez family uses this to make a lot of money, and they themselves make a little money.
The housekeeper nodded and said: "You are very self-aware! If you just seek the asylum of the Jimenez family, there is no problem! However, for the sake of the eldest lady, it is rare for you to give you such a good opportunity to obtain the Jimenez surname.
Do you really want to give up? Even if you are the lowest member of the clan in Jimenez, you can still walk around in Storm City!"
Ren smiled and shook his head: "I am an exile, and I am very grateful to receive Lord Jimenez's approval. However, bearing such a noble surname will inevitably bring indelible black spots to Lord Jimenez and the entire Jimenez family.
I don’t want to bring a bad reputation to the Jimenez family because of myself.”
"Okay! This is your choice. Anyway, the adults said, just hand over the formula and fulfill your wish!" The butler asked him, "Where is the formula?"
Ren Xin said where do I have the formula? Those are all system functions.
It is impossible to teach the Jimenez family to cook the so-called "magic food". The only way is to create systematic tools and let them use these tools to cook.
Moreover, not everyone can directly use the system tools, and Renne needs to arrange the corresponding roles.
For example, when hiring a lumberjack, Renne needs to assign him the system lumberjack occupation first and transfer the ax he made; the miner also assigns the miner occupation first and transfers the pickaxe.
As for those who cook "magic food", they need to arrange a "chef" profession and give them a dedicated stove.
The stove that Ren can now make is the simplest stone bonfire. Other advanced stoves need to be upgraded with intelligence to unlock.
The butler asked for the recipe, and Ren replied: "Actually, the so-called recipe does not exist. This is my family secret! If you don't mind, can you take me into the kitchen? I will show you this secret without reservation."
!”
The housekeeper thought for a moment and nodded to him: "Follow me!"
"yes!"
Ren followed the butler and walked with him to the kitchen.
