I haven't seen him for a year, Joshua has become almost unrecognizable, Joshua in his memory, has a young temperament, has a strong willpower, but hides two points of jealousy and hatred for the world, and at that time, he was tortured by the curse for a lot of time, and his spirit was very badly lost, and he looked a little weak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But Joshua in front of him is sunny, cheerful, and even has the temperament of a superior person.

When he saw Beta, he smiled and bent down, saying, "Long time no see, teacher." You're finally willing to come back here. ”

Amanda thought that Joshua was Beta's friend, but she didn't expect that it was actually his student. After all, there is not much age difference between the two, although Beta looks a little mature, but at most she is in her early twenties, and Joshua is probably the same age.

"This is Shirley, this is Amanda." Beta introduced the names of the two female companions separately.

Shirley smiled and said, "Then you should call me Shiniang." ”

When Joshua saw Shirley, he lost his mind slightly, but he quickly corrected his mentality, he called Shiniang respectfully, and then looked at Amanda, thinking, is this also Shiniang?

Amanda knew that he had misunderstood, and waved her hand again and again: "I have nothing to do with Beta, I am purely just his subordinate." ”

Although Amanda's status is not high, after all, it was the person brought by Beta, and he still greeted Amanda very politely.

Then Beta asked Joshua to sit down, looked at him for a while, and said with satisfaction: "The strength has improved well, it is already an elite level, and it is also a lot of energy to look at people, the position of the city lord should not be hard, right?" ”

"City Lord?" Amanda, who was tasting the fine fruit wine, squirted out a sip of wine: "The lord of Sicilya? ”

She looked at Joshua in surprise: "I know that the city lord of Sicilian City has changed, a year ago, but I never thought that the city lord would be so young, this is a commercial city, how did you get the position of city lord?" Is your family very powerful? ”

Joshua looked at her: "It's all the teacher's help, everything I have now, is given by the teacher." ”

Amanda looked at Beta and then at Joshua, and was a little incredulous: "If he is so powerful, he will occupy the city of Sicilia himself, why give it away." ”

Beta smiled and didn't speak.

Joshua smiled, but did not speak.

Amanda knew she had asked something she shouldn't have asked, and she stopped talking. She's just a girl's heart, not stupid.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little dull, and Joshua hurriedly asked, "The teacher must have something very important when he comes back this time, can you tell me about it?" I guess I can help. ”

"I'm here to make money this time." Beta didn't hide it, and she didn't feel embarrassed: "You are now the city lord, you are well-informed, and you should know that I am also the lord of the wetlands." It's a barren land, and I want to build a city there, so it takes a lot of money. ”

"Teacher, I can support you." Joshua said sincerely: "The amount of tax collected in Sicilia has been not small in this year, and it will be even more in the future. I can give you one every year, and within ten years, I think I should be able to scrape together enough money to build a city, and give money while the construction starts, and after ten years, the money will be enough, and the city will be ready. ”

Beta waved his hand: "No, I scavenged a lot of money from the previous lord a year ago, but it was almost used. And your Sicilian city, although it has a lot of taxes, but also a lot of spending, is located in the commercial arteries of the three countries, if you don't have enough military strength, it is easy to have big problems. ”

Joshua wanted to say something, but Beta said seriously, "I can earn the money slowly, but if I use your money to build the wetlands, then should the lord write your name, or should he write mine?" ”

This was a bit serious, and Joshua understood when he thought about it, and he said abruptly, "Then what can I do to help you, teacher?" ”

Beta thought for a moment and said, "Then let's find a large warehouse, the very large one." ”

Joshua thought for a moment and smiled, "I just knew there was such a place. ”

Then the two of them drank together and chatted for a while, and after about an hour, Joshua said that he still had a lot of city affairs to attend to, and he reluctantly took his leave. He returned to the city lord's mansion in a carriage, and as soon as he sat down, his wife and maid, Julie, came over with a glass of specially prepared fruit wine.

Joshua took it, took a sip, closed his eyes and pondered.

Julie, though not very pretty, was now a little charming, and she walked up behind Joshua, rubbed his shoulders for him, and asked, "How's the situation with Beta?" ”

"The teacher is still the kind kind person he always has, he rejected my kindness, and he didn't even want to trouble me." Joshua let out a long sigh: "But I have changed, I have become snobbish, and when I heard the teacher coming, my first reaction was that it would not cause trouble." ”

Julie comforted: "This is normal, you are already a qualified city lord, many times, becoming a qualified superior person, there must be many things to change, including temperament." ”

"Julie, will you change?"

"I will always be your maid, so I will never change."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Joshua suddenly asked, "Julie, do you think I should remove myself as a knight?" After all, I am now the lord of the city, a nobleman of the same rank as the teacher, and if people know that I am his second-class knight, this may not have a negative impact on our Taute family. ”

"But the second-class knights canonized by Lord Beta can bring great power and rapid growth." Julie had a faint worry on her face: "If you remove the status of a second-class knight, will the power you gain be withdrawn?" ”

"Probably yes." Joshua thought for a moment and said, "But now that I've been exposed to magic, even if I lose my strength, I can get it back quickly, and the most important thing is that I already have my own power, even if I'm weaker, it's not too much of a problem." ”

"Then you can decide for yourself, I'm just a maid, whatever you do, I'll be by your side."

Joshua shook Julie's hand with emotion.

On the other side, Amanda hated Beta and said: "You are stupid, a city owner supports you to build a city, he is still your student, what are you afraid of, no one is willing to help, you have to work hard to make money, I think you are also stupid." ”

Shirley had a nonchalant look on her face.

Beta said slowly, "If Joshua had been a year ago, I would have been glad to say this. But Joshua is now the lord of the city, and when he said this, I felt a chill in my heart. ”
