Although the mercenaries are said to be quite strong, because of their resources and status, they will not have much confidence when facing the nobles.

Of course, mercenaries are at least much stronger than civilians and merchants, after all, if they are strong enough, they can ignore many status restrictions.

It's just that when the status of the nobles is high to a certain level, then even if the mercenaries are very powerful, they must give the nobles enough 'respect'. And the earl, the marquis, even if the president of the mercenary guild comes, he has to salute properly.

Beta just nodded to the two of them.

As a mercenary, this is extremely arrogant. Not to mention Billy, even Claire thinks this mercenary is too ostentatious.

Relying on the favor of the hostess, you will be empty-eyed?

Billy looked Beta up and down for a moment and said, "Lady Monica, this advice may be a bit harsh, but I'm going to talk to you about it. ”

Billy looked at Beta with an extremely unfriendly look, and the next words, the four present knew what it would be!

Monica waved her hand and said, "You don't have to say it, I know what you want to say." His words represent what I mean, if you don't like it, you can not listen. ”

Beta chuckled.

Billy choked on Monica's face and gasped. He has been an earl for more than twenty years, and no one has ever spoken like this in front of him, even if it is a member of the royal family, in the face of him, he will abide by the necessary etiquette, this is the unspoken rule.

But now, he was first confronted by a mercenary and then 'slapped in the face' by an archbishop.

The title of archbishop sounds very powerful, but its influence only works among believers, and in the aristocratic class, the status of the archbishop is equivalent to the level of a baron.

Being polite to you is to give you face, and not being polite to you is also due.

"Since Ms. Celia is like this, I have nothing to say." Billy calmed down, turned to Claire and said, "Why don't you leave with us?" ”

"I'm sorry Count Billy, but I still have something I want to talk to Monica."

Claire also felt that the mercenary in front of her was arrogantly a little unreasonable. But he is not stupid, on the one hand, he wants to kill himself in secret, and he wants to bring down his family; On the other side is the archbishop who saved herself, although the people around her are quite annoying, but a little bit of aristocratic self-esteem can be compared to life?

Billy also guessed such an answer, he shrugged his shoulders and said to Beta: "Some people think they are very powerful, but in fact, if they don't have a backer, they are nothing, and they may even be beaten up when they walk on the road." ”

Beta smiled and ignored him.

Billy couldn't get the look he wanted from the other and turned away.

Compared to Beta's lightheartedness, Claire's expression suddenly became ugly: "He said this to me. ”

Monica also nodded and said, "That's what I said to me too." ”

Now Beta's identity is a mercenary, even if he makes Billy angry, as a nobleman, there is no need for him to personally threaten a small mercenary.

Then the object of his speech is very simple and clear.

Monica said to Claire, "Marquis, go and sit in the church." ”

When she spoke, her tone was much softer.

Claireton was flattered: "Good...... Good. ”

I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Beta said to Monica, "Then I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Be careful."

Beta nodded and turned to leave the church.

Monica stood at the entrance of the church, watching Beta's figure disappear into the distance of the street before retracting her gaze.

Claire kept looking at her face, and seeing that she had come back to her senses, she asked with some concern, "Madam, you seem to be very concerned about this mercenary." Who is he? ”

"Creditor!" Monica said softly, "I owe him my life." ”

Claire immediately understood that the mercenary was Ms. Celia's savior, no wonder.

In fact, this is because Monica didn't make it clear, and Claire made up the mistake in her mind. Monica's meaning is very simple, that is, literally, Beta did not kill her, which is equivalent to her owing the former a life.

What Claire heard was that the mercenary had saved Monica once, or had lost the life of someone very important, such as a lover or something.

I feel that I have figured out Claire, and I think the world is too beautiful. Holding back the excitement in his heart, he followed Monica into the church.

A beautiful woman who knows how to be grateful, how rare it is in this world, he knows it too well. Such a woman is not only a good ally but also a wife.

Billy returned to the manor, first found a beautiful maid to vent for half an hour, and when the anger in his heart was completely gone, he sat back in his chair.

As a qualified nobleman, he knew too well that anger could lead to fatal errors in his judgment, so he kept himself awake before deciding on something important.

Everyone has a different way of sobering their minds, some people like to wash their faces with ice water, some people like to eat a lot, and Billy prefers to vent his desires.

Without desire, he can maintain at least half an hour or so of absolute sanity.

He even gave a name to this time himself.

Sage Time.

The situation about Archbishop Celia, Claire and the others kept spinning in his mind. He felt like he was beginning to speculate on what the two men would do if they formed an alliance.

Then the mind suddenly freezes on a person.

The mercenary who was a little handsome.

For some reason, Billy made this person very unpleasant, and in this unpleasant eye, he could even feel a little jealousy.

"Kill him first."

Billy suddenly had such a thought, and he had already found a reason for himself.

Lord Celia seems to value this man, and this man may even be her male favorite. Killing him should send the archbishop into a state of madness.

A lot of people are afraid that the enemy will go crazy, but Billy doesn't see it that way. He felt that a crazy enemy was not scary, and it was even easy to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Billy now wants to see Bishop Seria go crazy, and if she does, the alliance with Lord Claire will be dead in name.

Shaking the brass bell, he let the butler in and gave several orders, one of which was to find a way to assassinate the mercenary.

Beta continued to wander the streets, and as evening approached, he felt as if he was being targeted, so he deliberately walked to a deserted and remote place.

Then, after another two hours, Beta returned to the church. Claire was still in the church, happily chatting with Monica, and Monica was in tune with each other.

Seems boring.

Then he saw Beta come in, and his eyes lit up, and he jumped up, and ran to him again and asked, "Where have you been all afternoon, and you are not coming back to eat?" ”

"Killed a few people." Beta said lightly.

Claire's heart suddenly sudden, he seemed to see the murderous aura overflowing from Beta's body for a moment, but then disappeared in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.

Monica thought it was normal, she had already investigated Beta, and knew that this man was not the kind of soft-hearted person, and it seemed that the deaths of millions of people in the Light Sanctuary were also indirectly related to him.

It is not uncommon for such people to have an exaggerated murderous aura.

"Killed whom?" Monica asked with interest.

"A couple of assassins, it seems that they came specifically against me." Beta thought for a moment and said, "I'll continue to go out tomorrow to lure out those enemies who are targeting me, kill them one by one, and indirectly weaken Billy's strength." ”

"Billy's manpower?" Claire was a little surprised.

"Who else but him. You don't have to think about it. ”

Monica turned to Claire at this time and said, "Lord Marquis, I'm very sorry, our church is going to care, and we will have a chance to talk about it later." ”

Claire wanted to say that I would stay too, but he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he said, "Okay, then I'll go back first." But I don't have many guards with me, can you, a mercenary friend, escort me for a ride? ”

Monica frowned.

Beta smiled, "Okay." ”

Beta and Claire then leave the church together. The two sat in the carriage, relatively silent, hearing only the sound of the wheels of the carriage turning.

After about ten minutes, Claire couldn't help but break the silent air, although he pretended to be calm, there was still some panic in his eyes: "Your Excellency Mercenary, what is your relationship with Ms. Celia?" ”

"Hirers and hires." Beta replied expressionlessly.

Claire's nervous expression relaxed slightly: "I don't know what kind of hobbies Your Excellency has?" ”

"That's a lot, but I like it the gold coins the most." Beta lied casually.

Claire's expression was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said, "In this case, how about I give out ten gold coins and hire Your Excellency to protect my safety for a month?" ”

Beta saw the young man's mind clearly, and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "Do you know how much gold it costs to hire Monica for a month? ”

"How much?"

"Fifty gold coins a month." Beta laughed: "And at the beginning of the month, I'm afraid that I won't be satisfied and don't want to stay in the church anymore." ”

Claire's mouth widened: "It's impossible, even the magic master, that's the price." Do you think you have a bigger role than a master magician? ”

"Naturally, there is no comparison between me and the master of magic." Beta smiled a little wickedly, "But as long as Miss Seria thinks I'm worth the price." ”

"That doesn't make sense."

Back at her estate, Claire is confused. In his opinion, he paid ten gold coins a month to hire a mercenary, which was already quite a loser's behavior.

And Monica actually produces fifty gold coins a month.

In the heyday of their Marquis's Palace, when their father had not yet died, the income of a month, excluding various expenses and miscellaneous expenses, was more than fifty gold coins.

And now, the pure profit of the entire Marquis's Mansion is less than thirty gold coins per month. He was willing to take ten gold coins a month to hire someone, which was already considered a hemorrhage.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Celia's hand is even bigger.

Where did she get so much money!
