As a father, Nadette knew about his daughter.

Arrogance, arrogance, jealousy, indulgence, and narrow-mindedness, she has almost all the common problems of an aristocratic woman, and the only thing that makes Nadette feel fortunate is that Lux is not murderous.

Even if Lux hates a person again, at most he will hurt his body, but will not really hurt his life, this is Nadette's bottom line, if he crosses this bottom line, he feels that even if he spoils his daughter again, he will punish him.

Of course, the severity of the punishment is another story.

After a few days of rest, Beta made quite a few scrolls out. When he placed the scrolls in front of Nadette, the latter almost twitched his cheeks with a look of a monster.

"With so many scrolls, how many magic materials did you use?"

Beta laughed, "I've almost used up all the magic materials you sent me. For the rest, let's make a few more scrolls that aren't very useful. ”

In the past few days, Nadette has had people send magic materials to Beta four times, almost emptying the inventory of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, looking at the pile of magic scrolls on the table, which was about to turn into a small mountain, Nadette felt that it was quite worth it. Magical materials are precious, but if they don't turn into magic items or scrolls, then they are no different from Tukra.

Nathda was happy, and Beta was calm on the surface, but also happy on the inside. Because more than half of the magic materials have entered the magic space of his mansion, many of them are quite precious, and even strategically controlled magic materials.

So, that's what it means for insiders to bully outsiders. Although there is another spellcaster in the City Lord's Mansion, the wild mage in Perth can barely make the lowest level magic scrolls, and the success rate is relatively low.

So, compared to Beta, Perth is still just a layman.

At this time, it was time for the combat meeting, and all four teams were here.

Because of the loss of three people in the last battle, and there was no suitable person to replenish it, Nadette made certain adjustments to each squad.

One person from the second squad was transferred, and two fighters were transferred from the third squad to make up for the battle losses of the other squads.

In this way, Beta's third squad suddenly had only four people.

Nadette's explanation for this is: "As a support team, the third squad can independently judge the battlefield situation and act on its own. Heidi, Robben, and Sion, your job is to protect Cook and listen to his judgment of the situation, understand? ”

This was to determine Beta's leadership position in the third squad.

The original squad leader Heidi nodded indifferently, the rules of the mercenary world are very simple, as long as you have strength, there is no problem with being the leader, and Beta also shows a certain sense of smell on the battlefield.

Looking at the big picture, this is a quality that many powerful mercenary captains and leaders lack.

Heidi also knows that she is lacking in this area.

"The target of this mission is in Ellen City, and Arnold will explain the specific situation to you when he arrives at his destination. Because I still have to sit in the city to handle the sound work, so this mission, led by Arnold, what do you think? ”

No one spoke up.

"Each of these scrolls chooses one to take away. The rest was sealed into warehouses. Nadette looked at Beta: "The role of the scroll in the battle is very large. Cook, when you're out there, I'll have someone rush back with another batch of magic materials. When you come back, please continue to help us make scrolls, of course, I will also write down the contribution points, and wait until the end of the month to settle, is there a problem? ”

Beta shook her head.

Nadette smiled, it was rare to meet a master of making magic scrolls, of course he had to work more, as long as the magic scroll was kept in a dry place, it could be stored for a long time, hundreds of years. Do more to save and be prepared.

"Then let's rest first, and gather in front of the garden at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

The crowd dispersed.

Nadette returned to his study, and after a while, Heidi and Arnold came to him together.

Nadette took out two white magic pendants with the same pattern from the drawer and placed them on the table: "These are two pieces of spatial equipment, one for each of you." ”

The two looked surprised, and Arnold looked at the pendant on the table, revealing some eager eyes, but quickly concealed it: "Where did you get such a precious thing?" ”

Nadette smiled, "Anyway, our family has been in charge of Echo City for more than five hundred years, and it's not surprising that we have occasionally searched for some strange magical items over the years. The space of these two space equipment is very small, and there are not many things that can be loaded, and there is a big gap between them and the private space opened up by space magicians, but they can be used by ordinary people. You can use it to hold some life-saving things, such as a few more magic scrolls, and I'll ask the butler to help you get a few more, and you can also hold some more precious and confidential things. ”

Heidi and Nadette had a very close relationship, so she picked up one of them without coquettishness and put it on: "This thing is very expensive, right, a few hundred gold coins?" ”

"Hundreds?" Nadette smiled: "A thousand gold coins can't buy it." ”

Both of them were startled, and Heidi felt that this thing was a hot potato, so she hurriedly took it off her neck and put it back on the table.

"Take it first, I'm not giving it to you, I'm just lending it to you temporarily." Nadette smiled: "Tomorrow you go to Ellen City, I can't accompany you, I can only support it in this way." ”

"But that's too much of an exaggeration, aren't you afraid we'll take this thing away?" Arnold asked with a smile.

Nadette also smiled: "We have known each other for thirty years, and I trust you. ”

Hearing this, Arnold picked up the pendant: "Okay, I'll borrow it first." ”

Heidi also put another pendant back on her neck.

"Also...... If this mission fails, you two must come back alive, and if possible, I mean, if possible, try to bring Cook back as well. Nadette said solemnly, "The lives of the two of you are more important than anything else, but Cook is a rare genius, and it would be a pity if such a young man died young." ”

The two men understood, and left Nadette's study.

As soon as they left, Lux rushed in, slammed the table, and asked, "Father, is that bastard leaving tomorrow?" ”

Nadette looked up and teased rather amusemently, "Who are you talking about, we don't have a person called a bastard here." ”

"It's Cook, that guy is getting out of here?" Lux was extremely dissatisfied: "That guy teased me and wanted to run, how can it be so simple." ”

Nadette smiled and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Lux frowned, "I'm going to make him pay." ”

Nadette laughed even more happily, and even said with some sarcasm: "First of all, Cook is a nobleman, he is the head of the Green family, you can't deal with him in the same way as a commoner. Second, he is a dragon warlock and is very strong, and Arnold and I may not be his opponents. My good daughter, in what way are you going to make him pay? Cry in front of him? ”

"You're my father, who are you helping?" Lux was furious.

"I won't help anyone, it's your business how you want to deal with Cook, don't try to borrow from me."

Lux originally wanted her father to come forward, even if she didn't get rid of that Cook, she had to make him look good, but she didn't expect that her father was not on her side.

She was pampered since she was a child, and she hated Cook more and more. After a cold snort, Lux slammed the door, and just got out of the staircase, Urban, who came down from the stairs, saw Lux, and quickly trotted down, and smiled flatteringly in front of the girl: "Miss, where are you going, do you want me to protect you." ”

", don't bother me."

Urban's face paused for a moment, and then he said even more flatteringly: "Miss, who bullied you, say it, I'll break his leg." ”

"Cook, do you dare?"

Lux squinted at him, her contempt palpable.

Lux has always looked down on Urban...... A professional, a man, his bones are as soft as a noodle. Although she is unbearable, she is not stupid, she knows who can be messed with and who cannot be messed with, for example, Arnold, although she is also a subordinate of her father, she will never say a word heavy.

As soon as Urban's face turned ugly when he heard that it was Cook. Beta's magic blow three days ago had hit him with a little pain in his ribs. He naturally knew that Beta's men were merciful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed at all now.

However, most young men have a common problem, they can't eat other people's 'excitement', especially in front of the women they like.

When Urbane saw Lux's disdainful expression, his blood rushed to the top of his head, and he said loudly: "Miss, you wait, I'll go and vent your anger." ”

He rushed to the third floor and knocked on the beta door so hard that almost the entire building could hear it.

Beta is studying the magic patterns copied from the black coffin in the room, and the magic array during the Elven Kingdom period is very different from the current magic array, and the direction of movement is very different, which gives Beta a lot of inspiration.

But the rough knock on the door for a while interrupted his train of thought, and he was extremely unhappy.

He opened the door and saw Urban, who was red and stimulant-drunk, and then saw Lux standing behind him, smiling at the corners of his mouth, how could he not know what was going on.

Without waiting for Urban's words, Beta was directly a wind pressure bomb, knocking the former away, and before closing the door, he looked at Lux not far away, and said indifferently: "Be mature, your father is a good lord and a good person, as a daughter, don't embarrass him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lux was so angry that she clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, and she couldn't speak.

After a while, when she was calm, she snorted, and went downstairs and left very unhappy.

And when Urbane knocked on the door desperately before, he 'noisy' everyone on the third floor, and when he saw that Urbane was knocked to the ground again, two of them shook their heads and went back to the room to rest.

Robben walked over, helped Urbane up, sighed, and said, "Don't mess with the two of them." Miss Lux doesn't look down on us mercenaries, so let's die. Cook wasn't interested in Miss Lux, and you weren't his opponent, so why bother with getting older. ”

Urbane retched twice, pushed Robben away, and let out a low howl: "What do you know...... Unmotivated guys. ”

Robben didn't repay his kindness, but he was good-tempered, shrugged his shoulders, and ignored Urban, and went back to his room to rest.

Urbane looked at the closed door of Betana and limped away.

A few minutes later, in Nadette's study, Arnold came over, recounted what had just happened, and then asked curiously, "Don't you care?" If this continues, it will be a certain blow to the morale of the team. ”

"Urban, although he is very ambitious, his own ability is not enough, and his temperament is not enough, and Lux does not look down on him." Nadette thought for a moment and said, "I asked Urbane to stay with Lux just so that Lux could see clearly what the man who pursued him was like under normal circumstances. And Cook plays a positive role, telling her how really good men, young talents, think of her. The world doesn't revolve around her. ”

Arnold laughed, "You've been so miserable. Since you think there is no problem, then I will ignore this matter, and I will go and rest first. ”

…………

…………

The next morning, after breakfast, the four teams gathered in the courtyard, and then got into four carriages and left slowly.

Lux yawned and came out of her bedroom, having been so angry yesterday that she couldn't sleep all night.

When I went downstairs, I happened to meet the housekeeper, so I called out to the other party and asked, "By the way, the day before yesterday, my father asked you to send compensation to that woman, how is the situation?" ”

"It's delivered to her."

"Oh, that woman must have regretted it, did she cry?"

The thought of the face she had scratched was a pang of pleasure, and the anger aroused by Beta subsided a lot.

The butler shook his head: "We caught up with her outside the city, and she was a little frightened at the time, but she accepted our gold coins anyway. ”

"Exchange a face for ten gold coins, and she can be considered earned."

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Miss, that woman's face has been healed. ”

"What!" Lux screamed, "Who did that?" Those hypocrites in the Temple of Light? No way...... I'm going to let that woman continue to be an ugly bastard, butler, you send someone to get her back, I'm going to scratch her again, I'll see who dares to cure her again this time!" ”

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, that was three days ago, and now that woman doesn't know where to run for a long time." ”

Yes! Lux ran back to her bedroom like a madman, sweeping everything off the table to the floor and starting to smash things around.

The butler heard the movement from above downstairs, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
