In the restaurant, the atmosphere was slightly stagnant, and whether it was Raphael or Harold, their expressions were unnatural.

I pursed my mouth and suddenly smiled: "I'm sorry for the purple heart grass or something, this really doesn't work, let's eat, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”

"Yes, eat, eat!" Harold laughed, took the lead in picking up a dish and put it on my plate, and then, he raised his glass again and said to me, "Thank you Xiao Yi for inviting me to such a sumptuous meal, I will toast you first." ”

I clinked my glass with him, and I drank the wine from it.

As soon as he poured a glass, Raphael suddenly raised his glass with both hands, got up and said, "I, I also toast you." ”

His expression when he said this was extremely unnatural, and it seemed that before he was down, others had always toasted him, and he had not said anything about toasting others.

I smiled slightly, got up slightly, clinked my glass with him, and drank it again.

After two consecutive toasts, the tense atmosphere in the restaurant finally eased, and after a while, everyone stopped being inhibited and feasted.

This meal was eaten until Harold was full of burps, red faces, red ears, and staggering.

I looked at Raphael, who was already drunk and unconscious on the table, and little Betty, who fell asleep after only two glasses of wine, and then looked sideways at Jin Siqi, who was asleep on my shoulder, and then looked at Harold who was about to fall asleep on the table in a daze, I shook my head, and beckoned the airship staff to help Harold, Jin Siqi, and Raphael each go into a room to rest, and little Betty was also sent to Raphael's room.

I shook my head a little dazed, and staggered to the room that belonged to me alone.

Lying on the couch, I began to think: if Raphael accepted my commission, if he didn't, should I find a few more doctors to try?

In another case, what should I do if Raphael dragged on like this and refused to answer?

You can't force him to give an answer.

Thinking about these tangled questions, before I knew it, I fell asleep on the couch.

When I woke up, it was the next morning, and when I got out of the room, I saw Jin Siqi and the four of them sitting on the leather sofa at the entrance of the top area.

"Morning, everyone," I said, "have you all had breakfast?" ”

Jin Siqi said: "No, I've been waiting for you to get up." ”

"I'm so sorry," I scratched my hair and said, "I was a little tired yesterday, so I slept a little longer, haha." ”

We didn't say anything more, and went straight to the restaurant again, which was also a meal of elf specialties, but unlike yesterday's dinner, this was a breakfast specification.

After dinner, we left the magic airship and went straight to the New Valor Guild.

Entering the living room, I sat down on the sofa and asked Raphael, "How did you think about yesterday's suggestion?" ”

Raphael's face was serious, he thought for a moment, and said, "I—Can I ask you a few questions?" ”

"Please."

"Can I know who I'm serving?"

"Of course," I said, "it's a goblin." ”

"What does he have to do with you?"

"No comment," I said.

"Is the loss of freedom a necessary prerequisite for me to accept the commission?" Raphael asked.

"Yes."

"Can you please not take my daughter with you?" Raphael's tone of voice seemed to be pleading.

I took a deep look at him and shook my head, "No, I have to take your most important person hostage, only then can I entrust you." ”

Harold's face on the side changed slightly at the moment, but he couldn't hold back and didn't speak, while Jin Siqi was teasing little Betty, distracting the little guy and not listening to my conversation with Raphael.

"That'...... So can you guarantee that my daughter won't be harmed? Raphael said urgently.

"In the case of your absolute loyalty, I can guarantee it."

"So, that, will I ever see my daughter again?" Raphael's voice trembled when he said this, and not only his voice was like that, but his expression was also apprehensive and sad.

"I'll arrange it," I said, "and for you, the cruelest thing is that father and daughter can't see each other, don't worry, although I'm not a good person, I'm not going to do such a cruel thing." ”

"So, can I ask one more question at the end?" Raphael said cautiously.

"Just ask."

I think his final problem is most likely related to purple heartgrass, after all, in my opinion, it is second only to his daughter's existence.

"I—I want to know...... Will there be any danger to the lives of this commission? ”

Well?! It has nothing to do with purple heartgrass?

It seems that I have mistaken this person again, it turns out that in his heart, the first position is little Betty, and the second position is not purple heartgrass, but his own life.

"Generally speaking, there is no danger," I said.

"In general?" He asked emphatically.

"Well, in general," I said, "I mean in general, that is, you are absolutely loyal and will never betray, and once you betray, then not only your life will be in danger, but even your daughter will not be spared." ”

"This ...... I already know that," Raphael said, "I mean, if I had been loyal to my employer......"

"Then you will be very safe, and your daughter will be very safe," I said, "as I promised yesterday, although you will not be free, your life will be very nourishing, and although your daughter will be a hostage, she will also be able to receive the best education, the best quality of life, and live a life that is completely as happy as she is." ”

"Can you really guarantee it?" Raphael asked, with his butt out of his seat, leaning towards me in a half-hunched position.

"Of course I can guarantee it," I said lightly.

Raphael stared at me for a long time, and he didn't seem to trust my words, of course, what he didn't trust was not my commission, but only my assurance.

Turning, Raphael turned his gaze to Harold.

Harold shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know anything about what I was talking about.

Then, he turned his gaze to Jin Siqi.

Jin Siqi teased little Betty and said, "If Xiao Yi can't guarantee it, it seems that no one on the Zephyr Continent will dare to guarantee anything anymore." ”

"You, what do you mean by that?" Raphael wondered.

"It's not interesting" Jin Siqi continued to tease little Betty: "I just want to say that you underestimate Xiao Yi's identity too much." ”

I stood up, walked up to Raphael, patted him on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "You don't trust me, I can understand it, not long ago I was just a poor boy who had no way out, with almost nothing but impulsiveness and recklessness, and, I want to say, your distrust and suspicion are correct, and I am still a poor boy now......"

As soon as she said this, Jin Siqi burst out laughing, I cleared my throat, and Jin Siqi was busy covering her mouth, but she was still laughing.

Is it really me, is it wrong to mock myself?

Why are you laughing so exaggeratedly!
