After saying goodbye to Oldman, Jenn walked down the stairs, then rolled his eyes and went to another room, where he opened the door to see Acelyn lying at her desk, fiddling with a quill and writing on paper. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl looked up, and when she saw Jenn, a smile suddenly appeared on Acelyn's face.

"Ah, Mr. James........."

"Hello, Miss Acelin."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Jenn also smiled at her.

"Sorry to bother you, are you busy?"

"Oh, no......... Nothing .........."

Hearing Jenn's words, Acelyn's face turned red, and she hurriedly packed up the papers on the table.

"It's just a few minor financial issues, and I've just dealt with ........."

In the "Free Salvation Army", Acelyn was not idle all the time, in fact, not long after that, Acelyn was invited by Jenn to participate in the internal affairs management of the "Free Salvation Army". This is not that Jenn is deliberately funny, but it is really -- the Free Salvation Army really has no one to use.

In the beginning, the Free Salvation Army was headed by Oldman, and almost all of them were hunters, militiamen, and farmers in the villages. And in the Klein Continent, a place where the level of civilization is polarized, it can be said that this remote rural area is almost all illiterate, and even Oldman can only write his own name. Later, the number of the Free Salvation Army gradually expanded, but there were almost no people who could do management work, because the people who came to them were basically illiterate and quasi-illiterate, and there were very few people who could write their own names with the same level of education as Oldman. What else can they be expected to do?

Faced with such a situation, everyone has no choice. In the end, it was Tillise who took the plunge. As a result, after a few days, she found Jenn crying and shouting to resign. It's no wonder that before that, all things Oldman had to be managed by someone he could trust. But the problem is that people he trusts don't mean they are literate. If you can't read, you can only record it in your own way. As a result, Tilis was almost confused by the OOXX book, feeling as if she was deciphering Morse code, and couldn't understand what the ghost drawing on it was. Just "translating" these things into a written record almost caused Tilis to collapse, even if she was a succubus. Fortunately, Tillith is a priest, and her spiritual cultivation is still at home, otherwise I am afraid she will completely collapse.

It wasn't until a few alternate priests and some low-level mages who could play tricks came in the back that the miserable situation improved. Spellcasters must first learn to read, so the most popular places for low-level education in the Klein Continent are churches and mage associations. The same is true of these alternate priests. Illiterate, who are they going to read the scriptures to?

It is under the management of these people that the "Free Salvation Army" has been supported until now and has not broken up. This is also the reason why these spellcasters are rarely seen on the battlefield ahead, because these literate people are almost all sent to the back by Jenn and Oldman to deal with the affairs of the rear. Otherwise, the material delivery, finances, and food rations of such a few thousand people would be enough to make people's heads big.

And of course, after getting Acelyn, Jenn immediately sent her to the "back line". In his opinion, after this good man is also a nobleman, this little trouble should not be a problem. Oldman was a little worried. He wasn't worried that Acelyn would rebel, but he felt that this eldest lady looked weak and couldn't endure hardship, and he didn't know whether to do such a thing.

But unexpectedly, Aislin did even better than they imagined.

That's right. Just as Oldman thought, Acelyn was a big lady, a noble big lady. A noble lady who can't help but be weak. In Jenn's words, it's the flowers in the greenhouse. The kind that can't see the wind and rain. If others speak a little louder, they may be scared like a little squirrel, curl up and tremble, and speak softly on weekdays. It looks like it will fall when the wind blows.

However, she was also a nobleman.

For example, after the occupation of Tagus by the "Free Salvation Army", the ownerless property was naturally taken into the warehouse -- of course, under the mad conspiracy of Dogant, the nobles who followed him were basically gone, so their property was also gathered, collected, counted, and valued.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done by businessmen, although they know the market of these things best, but there is no treacherous business, no business is not treacherous. Even Oldman, who can't read a few big characters, knows this truth. With the virtue of those merchants, they may see good things and deliberately say that they are bad and move away. And it's not impossible to see that they deliberately say it's good to trick them.

But this kind of work can't be done by ordinary people, Nadia and Tilis have tried, but they are also confused in the face of the gold, silver and jewelry. It's no wonder that these two people, one is a paladin and the other is a priest, both of whom are not particular about luxury items, and they can't even tell whether the ring is set in glass or crystal, so how do they know how much these things are worth?

But for Aceline, this was not a problem at all. When they got together, they talked about jewelry, jewelry, paintings, pets, and even horses. So if something is real or fake, and how much it is worth, Acelyn can tell with just a glance. As for calculations, writing and categorizing this kind of thing is even more difficult for Acelyn. These aristocratic ladies are going to become marriage tools in the future, but even if they are tools, they must be easy to use. Even if they don't have political acumen, they will be nurtured with some similar abilities. So that after getting married, he can help his husband to deal with some internal affairs of the nobility.

And from this, we can see how big the gap is between nobles and commoners, you must know that Acelyn is not an ambitious heroine like Dali, but an ordinary canary in the aristocratic family, and even she can easily manage these troublesome things under the "Free Army of National Salvation". I have to admit that the educational resources controlled by the aristocracy are also able to surpass the people. And the reason why they can rule over civilians all the time. Because they will always be richer and more powerful than those civilians. Competent, knowledgeable, cultured. And like Oldman, even if he can take advantage of the moment for various reasons, he will eventually be knocked down because he is not outstanding in other abilities.

This is why on the continent of Klein, the ruling class will always be the aristocracy, and even those who succeed in rebellion are mostly from the old aristocracy and royal system. Because only with such a background can they have earlier and better access to high-quality educational resources than civilians. Thus gaining more knowledge and experience than others.

For someone like Oldman, who has always been born as a civilian, the odds of wanting to turn over are too low.

But that's not what Jenn needs to care about, in fact, he's here for another purpose. Hearing Acelyn say that she wasn't busy, Jenn smiled slightly.

"So, would Miss Acelyn be interested in going out for a walk with me?"

"This ......... Absolutely. ”

Hearing Jenn's invitation, Acelyn hesitated for a moment, then nodded hurriedly. During these days, Acelyn also had a lot of dealings with the Free Salvation Army. But though she doesn't hate those people. But I can't say how much I like it. After all, they were all rough old men who spoke roughly, and they didn't have any gentlemanly demeanor. Compared with them, a gentle and considerate gentleman like Jenn is naturally more susceptible to Aceline's affection.

Of course. Maybe in some stories, those noble-born eldest ladies are reckless men who like to be different, but it's a pity. Acelyn's aesthetic is obviously not so "unique".

After occupying the city of Tagus, Oldman and the others naturally entered the city lord's mansion in Dogant. And now Jenn and others naturally live here. Acelyn had also lived here for a while, so she was no stranger to the courtyard. I saw that under the leadership of Jenn, the two of them walked leisurely in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Although it was winter and there was nothing particularly worth seeing, following Jenn's side and watching his back was already very satisfying for Acelin.

"Miss Acelin, are you still going to go back now?"

Walking to the edge of the pond, Jenn finally spoke. Hearing his words, Acelyn was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, Mr. James, I still want to go home........."

For Acelyn, although she did a good job with the Free Salvation Army, she was still a noble lady after all, and she wanted to go home no matter what. Jenn had also asked about Acelyn's origins, the child of Soros and a maid, whose mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her. Fortunately, she is a girl who has the value of a noble marriage, so she has been able to grow up in the Soros family without incident. After all, for the aristocracy, the more tools that can be used for marriage with noble blood, the better. But if Acelyn had been a boy, she would have been killed long ago. After all, men have the right to inherit, and the outcome of such illegitimate children being involved in inheritance disputes is obvious.

And from the conversation with Aislin, Jenn also noticed that Aislin didn't have much affection for her father, and she didn't have much love for the Soros family. But after all, she is a canary who grew up in a cage, even if she opens the cage and flies out, she will eventually take the initiative to return to the cage because she can't bear the hardships outside. That's what Acelyn is like now, even though she's doing a good job here, and everyone likes her and respects her. But she still prefers the days when she can have afternoon tea and chat with a group of aristocratic ladies every day, rather than getting up early and greedy every day and worrying about the life of fear.

If Nadia had known what Acelyn was thinking, she would have said that she had fallen of her own accord.........

"The Soros family is finished."

Without Acelyn talking, Jenn understood her thoughts, so as soon as he spoke, he immediately blocked Acelin's last retreat.

"Miss Aislin, you have not been in contact with our affairs during this time, and I think you should also understand that the three major temples are now supporting us, and the people are extremely disgusted with the rule of the Soros family. When the spring flowers bloom next year and the Northern Alliance army moves south, the Soros family will have only one way to lose. If you go back to the Soros family now, have you ever thought about what will happen to you if the Soros family is defeated? ”

"Yes, is it that serious?"

Sure enough, hearing Jenn's words, Acelyn's face suddenly changed drastically. These days, she is immersed in housekeeping, and she doesn't know much about things on the front line. This is also Aislin's character, she doesn't like to fight and kill, and she probably doesn't know much about the affairs within the family, and she can know that they are fighting with the north, which is the news that this eldest lady got when she was chatting in the aristocratic circle before. But for Acelyn, this is a far away thing. It's as if people on the earth watch war news reports broadcast on television, and they never think that those things that happened in distant places will one day happen to them.

"I won't lie to you, Aislin, if you don't believe me, you can stay here and wait until spring blooms, and I can assure you that the Soros family will not last more than five months. If you go back now, then you will only be buried with the Soros family. ”

"So, what should I do?"

Hearing Jenn say so surely, Acelyn panicked. She didn't like the Soros family very much, but it was her home after all, and now, when she heard that her only place of residence was about to disappear completely, Acelyn suddenly became panicked. She felt empty in her heart, and there was no bottom all the time. Until then, Acelyn had always hoped to return to the Soros family, which was her home after all. And now, she has lost her last spiritual home, leaving Acelyn at a loss, like an abandoned man in the wilderness, at a loss and helpless not knowing how to choose the path ahead.

Jenn was silent for a moment in response to Aceline's inquiry, and then he turned his head to look at the girl in front of him. Then, Jenn spoke.

"Acelyn, I want you to be by my side."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Acelyn was completely stunned. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she stared at Jenn in front of her in surprise, although Acelyn was not completely unimpressed by Jenn, but she didn't expect that the other party would say such a thing at this time!

At this moment, Acelyn's face suddenly turned a lot redder. The previous worries seemed to be blown away at this moment, and at this moment, only one thought echoed in the girl's mind.

He, is he confessing to me? (To be continued......)
