330 Beta's Reckoning

What is the first thing you do when you get power?

Some people will show off, some will take revenge, some will repay the favor, but many more will choose to share their joy with their loved ones or friends.

Standing in the darkness, Augustine looked up at the dawn on the horizon, eager to share his joy and excitement with his loved ones or friends. It's just that now he is just alone, without relatives and friends, and he has no one to talk about.

He stood silently in the street, and it was not until the morning sun fell on him that he could barely remember one or two acquaintances with whom he had befriended.

The morning in the civilian area was noisy, and by the time the first rays of the sun shone on the white roof, it was already bustling with people. When Augustin returned home, his home was a squat of less than ninety square meters, with a forge in the small backyard, a drill bench, then a double bed, a dilapidated dining table, a wardrobe, and nothing else.

Under the pillow of his bed, Augustine found two silver coins and a dozen copper coins, all his possessions. As a former blacksmith, this kind of money is already considered well-off among civilians. He took the money and walked out of the house. Many people around him knew Augustine, and when they saw him, they began to point their fingers.

After all, Augustine was robbed of a woman, and it was quite a big fuss, and many people knew about it.

Augustine was a very face-saving person, if he had been pointed at like this before, he would definitely feel extremely unbearable, even angry, but at this time, he felt that it didn't matter, and he even smiled kindly at the people around him who were pointing at him, which made those people stunned.

Looking at the surprised expressions of others, Augustine suddenly felt a great sense of accomplishment. He left the house, found a house in the civilian neighborhood that was not too unfamiliar, and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man, a weathered middle-aged man, who was a little surprised to see Augustine: "You are not ......"

"Was it right that someone was beaten to death?" Augustine laughed, very heartily, "Long time no see, Tom." Don't you want me to come in and sit down? ”

In this world, the man named Tom does not have 100,000, but at least 50,000, which is a very common name. Looking at Augustine, who was so cheerful and had a faintly different temperament from before, Tom was stunned, then let the door open and invited the other party in.

A glass of inferior fruit wine, this is the best drink for ordinary people.

After Augustine took a sip, he looked around and asked with a smile, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

"What else can I do, just run errands for people and earn a little money to support my family." Tom was a little curious, he and Augustine were not very acquainted, at most even half-acquainted, he did not understand why the other party would come to the door. If you're here to borrow money, it's a bit of a dilemma: "Augustine, if you have anything to do, just tell me, I've got to get to work in a hurry." ”

"Okay." Augustine nodded, then asked, "Tom, do you want to be a professional?" ”

Tom was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You've become humorous, Augustine. But I don't really have time to talk about this now, I'm in a hurry to get to work. ”

After speaking, Tom stood up. He didn't mean to evict him, but he really wanted to work. After all, for a civilian family like them, one less day of work may lead to a few days of starvation, and every day's wages are very important to them.

"I'm not kidding." Augustine waited for Tom to come to his side, and pressed Tom back into his seat with a big hand on the other's shoulder: "I'm a professional now, and I can make you a professional too." ”

Augustine was a blacksmith, and Tom knew that he had great strength, but Tom did not expect that the other party's strength had reached such a point, and he felt a faint pain in his shoulder, but just because of this, he still couldn't believe that the other party was a professional: "Great strength is not a unique characteristic of professionals." ”

"What about this?"

Augustine gently pressed his big hand on the tabletop, and then his hands became iron red, as if iron-branded, and directly moxibusted a pair of black handprints on the tabletop.

The smell of burnt wood filled the room, and Tom couldn't help but swallow when he saw it. The ironclad evidence is in front of him, and he can't help but believe it: "You actually became a professional? ”

After receiving the other party's affirmative nod, Tom was extremely envious, he knew very well that although professionals were not as high as nobles, they were at least much better than ordinary people, and they were also considered privileged. If you are a powerful professional, you can even be comparable to the status of a nobleman, and if you are lucky, you may become a nobleman as a professional.

But soon, Tom reacted, "You just said that you can make me a professional too?" ”

Augustine smiled, "Yes, that's right. ”

Tom's breathing immediately became rapid, and he pressed his hands on the table, staring at Augustine like a wolf, his eyes shining greenly: "Augustine, for the sake of our friends, you must definitely pull me." ”

"That's what I came here for." The old god Augustine said on the ground: "I can canonize five people as knight squires, I will give you three places, and you can find two trustworthy young people with some talent to come over, and I will convert you into professionals together." But you have to remember that this power can be withdrawn at any time. ”

Tom gave Augustine a deep look, then nodded, "I understand." ”

"Go now, I'll wait for you here for two hours."

"Don't bother, I have two sons." Tom smirked to himself: "You can definitely trust it." ”

Augustine nodded: "No problem. ”

About half an hour later, Tom and his two sons were canonized as knightly squires.

Tom felt the power surging in his body as he asked, "Now we're a small mercenary group?" ”

"No, we have a host! This power is given to us by Him. Augustine laughed, "Soon we will play for him." ”

"What kind of person is the master?" Tom was a little worried.

Augustine thought for a moment and said, "A cold, powerful nobleman. But I think it's just a faΓ§ade of him, he's actually a good talker, and I can feel it. ”

"That's good!" Tom nodded, feeling much relieved, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”

"Familiar with your powers, and in two days, we will go to see the master together." Augustine smiled, "The master is definitely a man who can do great things, and if we want to gain his approval, we must show enough strength." ”

"We're just starting to become professionals." Tom's face, which was already much younger, was a little worried: "Definitely can't compare with the master's original subordinates, how to show strength and strength?" ”

"Loyalty is also a form of strength and strength." Augustine said lightly: "When we have enough strength, we can do many things that we couldn't think of before, such as ......"

The next words were not uttered by Augustine, but Tom was aware of them.

The next day, while Beta was waiting for Amanda to report on the progress, she was greeted by an unexpected guest.

An aristocratic young man came to the door.

Beta looked at each other and smiled slightly, "Please be seated." ”

"You don't need to sit down." The young nobleman looked at Shirley next to him, then stared at Beta again, and said quite unruly: "Outsider, you are too unruly. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The young nobleman said unhappily, "You should know who I am, right?" ”

"I've seen you. Yesterday you were downstairs in this hotel, and you had someone beat up a civilian, and the beating was quite vigorous, and I was quite amusing to watch. It's just that I don't know what your name is. ”

This obvious sarcasm made the young nobleman's face turn green, and he stared at Beta viciously: "Well, since you don't know who I am, then it doesn't matter. Did you help Augustine become a professional? Why would you do this? ”

Beta looked at each other with some amusement: "What do I want to do, do I need your approval?" ”

Shirley chuckled beside her, feeling that her master looked good at talking on the surface, but in fact his belly was dark. The nobleman in front of him is obviously a gentleman, not very old, although the other party looks quite mature on the surface, but Shirley believes that his psychological age is definitely not more than sixteen years old.

Many times, the trigger for anger is the contempt of the other person. At this time, the young nobleman's face was already a little crazy, he clenched his fists hard, desperately enduring his anger, after a while, the young man's face was slightly more normal, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Outsider, you are so self-conscious, Harvey is not your territory. ”

After leaving such a sentence, the young man left with a very ugly face.

Beta looked at his back, a little surprised.

Shirley leaned over and hugged Beta's body from behind, her soft body pressed against his back, fragrant as a fragrance: "Why did you deliberately provoke that bastard just now?" ”

"What the city lord said the day before yesterday gave me a lot of inspiration. Since there is going to be a turmoil in Harvey, then I may be able to take this opportunity to cultivate a puppet force to plant in it, and it will be much easier to preach here in the future. If the young man was provoked to attack us, then I would have a reason to break up his family and co-opt his power into Augustine's hands. But I didn't expect that kid to hold back. I have to say that the kid's subconscious sense of crisis is quite strong. ”

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then laughed coquettishly: "It turns out that the master you gave Augustine the power, it is not completely soft-hearted, there is actually this layer of calculation, now that the calculation has failed, what should I do next?" (To be continued.) )
