965 head-to-head
If it was before, people like Gove, the boss of the Black Fox Gang, would have recruited Monica for his own use once he was subdued. After all, underground forces are sometimes very useful, especially when doing things that are not visible.
But Beta's suggestion is to kill them all. When Beta said this suggestion, everyone at the 'Hotel California' next to her had a strange look on their faces.
In the eyes of these young people, Beta was almost refuting Monica's master on the spot, which was a complete lack of face for the master. They were on the sidelines, ready to watch Monica, the new owner, get angry or reprimand Beta.
But to their surprise, Monica listened. An order was given on the spot.
For some reason, Monica has a strong belief in Beta. He said that it is not suitable to recruit the black fox as a lackey, so it is definitely not suitable.
This attitude is a good hint to the people of Hotel California.
Beta is in front of Monica and is really able to speak.
Because Monica has too few people now, plus herself, there are only 9 people. The North County Chapel is very large, so it looks empty.
"I feel like I need to bring in more people." Monica sat in her chair, and as an archbishop, of course, she would not have worked: "Otherwise many things will not work." ”
"Recruit from among believers." Beta thought for a moment and said, "Try to choose some underage believers who can work." ”
"Okay."
While the two were talking, a person from the Hotel California walked in and said, "There's a big man outside, saying that he is Count Billy, and he hopes to see the master." ”
Monica turned to Beta and smiled, "You guessed right, he's coming to the door." ”
Beta raised an eyebrow: "Do you want me to avoid it?" ”
"No, you don't." Monica waved her hand and said to the subordinate next to her, "Invite someone in." ”
After a while, the tall and strong Earl Billy walked in with his butler. He walked on the smooth floor of the church, and with every step, there would be heavy footsteps, but when people walked, there was a sense of relaxation.
This is a phenomenon that only warriors who have reached a certain level of strength can have. To put it in layman's terms, it is a light lift, with a strong physique and strength, and a high coordination value that can be used to control one's strong strength in detail.
The middle-aged man walked in, and when he saw Monica sitting on a high seat, his eyes lit up immediately.
Monica is very beautiful, after all, she is the god of the spider queen, and it is very likely that she is the first beauty of the God of Life Cult.
And Billy is extremely beautiful. He looked at Monica with a smile on his face and said, "Beautiful Lady Celia, first meeting. Your beauty is like the goddess of love. ”
In this national legend, the goddess of love is the most beautiful of all the goddesses. Each country has its own goddess who is considered the most beautiful by its own country because of its beliefs and preferences.
Billy's flattering words didn't make Monicado happy. She is not the kind of woman who has never seen the world, and when she was the queen of the shadow in France, she was flattered a lot.
At that moment, he asked lightly, "Count Billy, it's a pleasure for you to visit." Today is the first day I've taken over this temple, and I haven't prepared anything, and it's even a little dirty, so there's no way to properly receive you. ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Billy waved his hand, and his slightly square face looked quite heroic: "It's better to say that in this busy situation, Madam, it is already a great honor for you to meet me." ”
Monica's face was a little surprised at this time.
The count was already a fairly high-ranking position among the nobility. And this Billy also seems to be a powerful person, and the whole person is full of self-confidence.
It is really admirable that such a person can put his figure so low.
Whether it's pretending to be, or his personality is really like this, as long as he can maintain this attitude, his reputation in social terms will not be bad.
"Count Billy, thank you for coming. But as you can see, I still have a lot of business to attend to. Monica said calmly: "I can't entertain you for too long, please rest assured, in two or three days, I will visit your manor in person." ”
"It's fine." Billy motioned for the butler to come forward and deliver the gift, then looked left and right, and said, "Madam, you have too few people here, wouldn't it be unsafe?" Do you want me to send dozens of guards to help you protect them for the time being? ”
"No, you don't." Monica waved her hand: "I'm new here, I haven't offended anyone, and I'm sure no one will be against me." ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm worried about it." Billy nodded, looking a little disappointed, his brow furrowed slightly. Such subtle expressions give people the feeling of 'I care about you, but you don't accept it'.
It will make those who are soft-hearted feel a faint sense of guilt.
But Monica still had the same gentle expression: "No, Your Excellency is also good for me." ”
At this time, Beta walked up to the butler and took the gift box in his hand.
Billy looked at Beta, stunned.
His attention had been on Monica just now, and he hadn't noticed anyone else. At this time, I was a little surprised to see Beta.
He found that the young man was quite handsome, and most importantly, he had a very calm temperament.
Before coming, Billy also did some brief research on Monica. Before knowing that 'Selia' had recruited a 'male pet' in the mercenary union.
Does a male pet have this bearing?
The rumors are not credible.
Billy took note of Beta's face, then nodded slightly before leaving the church.
Monica waited for the other to walk away, and with a wave of her hand, closed the heavy door of the church. Then he turned his head to look at Beta and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on this Count Billy?" ”
"Looks good, the perfect match in most women's hearts. To have strength, to have strength, to have appearance, and to have power. Beta laughed, "At least on the surface." ”
"On the surface, that's true." Monica looked at the door: "I think so too, he gives me a very 'fake' feeling!" ”
Beta put the gift box in Monica's hand: "Why don't you open it and see what's inside?" ”
"Then take a look."
The gift box opened, and inside was the jewelry worn by two women. One of them is magic equipment.
"Wow, this guy is really generous." Monica picked up the magic jewelry and exclaimed, "Magic jewelry, this is at least two or three hundred gold coins." ”
This piece of jewelry is a neck ornament, and in terms of design, it is indeed quite good.
"Judging from the magic pattern, this magic equipment is a permanent miniature 'physical enhancement' technique, which can improve physical ......fitness by wearing it for a long time," Beta said, suddenly his eyes froze, and then he raised his finger to his mouth and made a silent motion.
Monica nodded slightly.
Beta took the jewelry from her hand, touched it with her fingers, and gently pinched a line on one of the gemstones. Then half of the jewel, which radiated a magical glow, immediately lost its luster effect.
"Alright. The jewel has a miniature magic circle that listens to it from a distance. I just cut it off. The double magic array is not strange, the maker doesn't even know how to draw the array within the array, it's very rough, but people who don't know the magic array don't know that there are two magic effects on it. ”
In this world, there are not many people who understand the magic array. So under normal circumstances, no one can find out that this jewelry is different.
As soon as Monica heard this, her expression became gloomy: "How dare you listen to me? ”
She grabbed the jewelry and was about to throw it away, but Beta suddenly grabbed her creamy wrist: "Don't be angry. These gems are good, give me a few days, I'll help you make a better magic outfit, it's a shame to throw it away. ”
"Okay, remember to help me look better." Monica's face quickly turned cloudy and sunny, and she was unusually beautiful.
Billy returned to the manor and was about to go upstairs when he saw the family magician approaching.
The magician was an old man, very young. But there was an unconcealable gleam in his eyes: "Master, the listening magic array has been destroyed." ”
"When?"
"Just ten minutes ago." The magician said, "It stands to reason that the master should have just come out of the church not long ago. ”
Billy sighed slightly: "It seems that Celia is also quite talented, I heard that she presented the magic equipment blueprint some time ago, and then she got the position of archbishop, is that drawing her work?" ”
"Impossible." The old magician shook his head: "The magic array is a very profound skill, even it took me twenty years to barely get started. It took another thirty years to get started, and he, a young girl, didn't have this ability. ”
"Who could that be?"
Billy asked, and then subconsciously remembered a man, the man standing next to 'Celia'.
The legendary male pet.
"Butler, you send someone to investigate the matter of Celia's male pet." Billy thought for a moment and said, "Also, let the Viper Gang go to the church to make trouble, I want to see how Lady Celia handles emergencies." She did it last night and gave me a dismount, and now it's my turn to make a move, and having dealings with each other is the attitude that a good neighbor should have. ”
The butler bent over.
The old magician continued: "Master, you don't need to waste too much time on a woman. You should focus on more important goals, such as Marquis Claire. ”
"That kid and I have been fighting for four years, and now there is no threat." Billy waved his hand and said, "He's not even half as good as his father." ”
"But what if he allies with Lady Celia?"
Billy thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's a nuisance. Or I'll send someone right now to make the relationship between them incompatible. ”
"It really should be."
The old magician smiled kindly.
At this time, the North County Chapel posted a recruitment notice, and in less than half a day, the believers who came to apply for the job almost blocked the entrance of the entire temple.
