4. Unexpected visitors
When I returned to the small town of Hadas, it was already noon the next day.
In order to soothe Cecilia's emotions, Sean did as he promised, and boiled a large bucket of hot water for Cecilia so that she could take a comfortable bath. Of course, even today's housework and the like are all taken care of by Sean alone, which can be regarded as a kind of flattery in a sense.
Lunch, too, is handled by Sean.
It is only at this time that Sean will feel how painful it is to choose blacksmith in his life and career in the game. Because until now, Sean's blacksmith profession has not been of any use, but because he has begun to get tired of eating steaks and other things almost every day, he suddenly misses all the delicious dishes that he used to eat - both in-game and out-of-game.
"It's a chowder again." Cecilia, who had just come out of the shower, saw an iron pot on the table, and her little face wrinkled.
"It's convenient, and it's cheap." Sean blushed a little, although the chowder is simple and cheap to make, but he can't really afford the ingredients, it's just that after trying a few times and wasting a lot of money, Sean will never do this kind of thing again, "After taking a shower?" Let's eat. ”
Sean said as he placed the remaining side dishes such as bread and vegetables on the table as well, then glanced back at Cecilia.
It's just this look that makes Sean's face show a hint of surprise.
Because of the hot weather, Cecilia was wearing a thin dress after taking a shower, and she was holding a towel with her head tilted and drying her wet hair. It was just such an action, but it exuded a noble temperament, not at all like a little girl of twelve or thirteen, which was obviously only possible for those who had received an extremely good family education.
However, it is undeniable that although Cecilia is still very young, if you only look at her figure and appearance, she looks like a girl who is still in the development stage. And judging from the information that has been revealed so far, the future achievements of this young girl are absolutely amazing.
As if sensing Sean's gaze, Cecilia suddenly straightened up her body, with a little smugness on her face, and saw Sean smile a little dumbfounded: "With your small body, learn this trick in a few more years." ”
Cecilia pursed her lips and snorted, running to her table like a proud little hen, waiting for the meal to begin.
It was a very simple lunch, but Sean and Cecilia ate very happily, although Cecilia did complain a few words at first, but when the food was served, she still enjoyed it with gratitude, and there was no waste, which is what Sean values most. Because he knows very well that Cecilia's life experience is by no means simple, not to mention her magical talent, just her manners, movements, temperament and conversation, she is by no means an ordinary person's identity, but she can still choose to endure hardships, which is very remarkable.
The chores after lunch were supposed to be what Cecilia was supposed to do, but today was a bit rare, and Sean took care of it, while Cecilia continued to go through her magic tome.
In the game, it was not very difficult for a magic apprentice to become a mage of the third order, as long as he met the employment criteria and completed the task. But in this real world, it is not easy for a magic apprentice to become a full-fledged magician, in addition to having enough understanding and magical talent, he also needs the careful guidance of a magician, and then there is a fifty percent chance of becoming a full-fledged magician. …,
Cecilia has good talent and understanding, but the problem is that she doesn't have a mage as a mentor, which makes her path to achievement a bit difficult. Fortunately, Cecilia had told Sean that the magic book she had in her hand was a magical note written by her teacher, and that as long as she studied it carefully, it would not be a problem to at least become a great magician.
And the Great Magician is a fifth-order profession in "Miracle".
Of course, Cecilia's efforts to become self-taught without a mentor would have been many times greater.
It seemed to be a very peaceful and ordinary day.
If there is no knock on the door.
Sean looked at the door with some curiosity, Cecilia obviously didn't mean to get up and open the door, so Sean could only walk to open the door helplessly.
Standing outside the door was a slightly fat man and a middle-aged man with a sturdy build.
"Mr. Sean, you've finally appeared!" The fat man shook Sean's hand very enthusiastically, with an excited face, "We've been looking for you for several days, and you've been away from home, which makes us anxious." ”
"Mr. Harvey, you're so gracious." Sean was stunned for a moment, and didn't react, but he still very politely invited the fat man and the middle-aged man next to him to the house, and at the same time didn't forget to ask Cecilia to serve tea to the two.
"Cute little girl, don't come unharmed." Harvey smiled and greeted Cecilia on the side, but the latter didn't give a good face with a cold face.
However, Harley seemed to have long been accustomed to Cecilia's indifference, and did not continue to say anything, but still kept smiling. On the contrary, the middle-aged man next to him showed a little unhappy look on his face, especially when he looked at Sean, there was a little more disdain and hostility in his eyes.
It's just that for the middle-aged man's look, Sean is very calm. Or rather, it was already a habit, because he had expected such a situation for a long time - in fact, he had been accustomed to this attitude since he became a mercenary.
[Mercenary (first-order profession): This is a variety of professions, rarely able to give a positive impression, basically anyone with any weapon can claim to be a mercenary, in a sense, it can also be said to be an all-powerful existence. However, in many areas, mercenaries are actually synonymous with bandits and bandits, so don't be surprised if you are suddenly arrested by the guards while walking on the road, because this must be an area that hates mercenaries. 】
[Career Reward - Weapon Experience: Because the long-term wandering makes you understand the importance of weapons, and on many occasions you are forced to use weapons that you are not familiar with, and over time you will have a unique experience of how to use these weapons (when using any weapon, you will automatically get the "mastery" effect Wandering career: After countless times of grinding on the edge of life and death, your achievements are also surprising, so the real strong still need to be constantly honed (strength +2, Strength Limit +4, Endurance +2, Endurance Limit +5, Agility +1, Agility Limit +4, Wisdom Limit +3, Will Limit +4)]
[Class Penalty - Malice: Due to the special problems of the mercenary class, you will be inexplicably malicient in many places (in areas below Friendly reputation, your cost will be increased by 30%). 】
A variety of professions are one of the highlights of "Miracle", but they are all only available at advanced levels, and according to the original game's settings, there are only three first-order professions that players can work in, namely mercenaries, apprentices, and priests. Although the profession does not limit the player's growth path, just like choosing an apprentice or priest can also become a melee type class in the second and third tier professions, because in addition to a few exclusive professions in the game, many higher-level professions can cover different lower-level professions, the only difference is the class reward and class punishment. …,
However, it is clear that these characteristics are still preserved on the Miracle Continent, and it can even be said that they have had more and more far-reaching effects.
Therefore, Sean, who took a fancy to the [Weapon Experience], a professional reward that only mercenaries have, naturally had to endure the negative impact of the professional punishment of [Malice].
"Mr. Harvey, you're a busy man." Sean didn't care about the middle-aged man's face, but said casually with a smile on his face, "Is there any commission you want to introduce to me?" ”
"You're right." Harvey nodded, but did not deny it, "This commission is really only available to you." ”
"Oh?" When Sean heard Harvey say this, he became a little interested.
Because Sean knows very well that the fat Harley in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Merchants are an indispensable profession no matter what world they are in, and this profession is even more important in the Miracle Continent, because many things must rely on the propaganda and transportation of merchants to circulate. The Chamber of Commerce is the product of this situation, but some chambers of commerce have a strong national color, while some chambers of commerce retain great neutrality and independence.
"Polar Silver" is a relatively independent large chamber of commerce, and their business activities cover six kingdoms, including the Serian Kingdom, which can be regarded as a relatively well-known chamber of commerce in the north of the Miracle Continent. However, as a large chamber of commerce, the president of Polar Silver naturally cannot do everything himself, so its chamber of commerce is divided into deacons and merchant leaders according to different ranks.
Harley, on the other hand, was the merchant in charge of the trade route from Sivir to Seanchi in the Suriland region of the Kingdom of Seri. As a merchant in charge of a trade route, Harley not only had a personal escort composed of all third-rank people, but even had more money at his disposal than an ordinary viscount, and even Viscount Damien had a lot of things he needed to help with.
Not to mention the power, but at least on the side of the Sivir Leader, he is indeed qualified to go sideways.
And such a person actually asked Sean instead, how can it be blamed that Sean is not surprised?
