Listening to Feng Chou's mushy words of love, Glise could no longer maintain her last bit of restraint. She threw herself into Feng Chou's arms and sobbed, "Leo, oh my god!
Leo, I know I love you, but I never thought I loved you so much. When I heard that terrible news, my heart died … Leo, is it really you? "
"It's me, my baby. Yes, my Star, I'm back by your side, my true love!"
Feng Chou's mouth was numb, but his heart was roaring. This is definitely the influence of Leo's personality …
The bald middle-aged man who accompanied Glise was the one who met Feng Chou the other day. He looked at Glise holding Feng Chou's handsome face and giving him hot kisses one after another. He could not help but shrug and think to himself, Although such a rich … uh … beautiful woman falling into the hands of a gigolo like Feng Chou is somewhat enviable … uh … It's a pity, but at least this gigolo isn't lying, right?
The passage leading to the Underdark in Perod's territory had been confirmed by the high-grade Rogues of the Chamber of Commerce. It was indeed a very good trade route, and it was very close to the few duergar city-states that they had dealings with. Most importantly, the Tigermen's Cave had basically been cleaned up, and the Drow City closest to the Tigermen's Cave had also suffered a great loss …
Now it was proven that this gigolo was really the first heir of Perod's territory. Then … this was a big business, possibly the biggest business the middle-aged man had encountered so far in his life!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man became excited. Compared to a good trade route leading to the underground world, a mere frontier knight's territory was nothing. The net income of such a frontier knight's territory was at most 10,000 crowns a year, but a good trade route leading to the underground world could definitely generate hundreds of thousands, or even millions of crowns a year.
After comforting Glise, Feng Chou motioned for her to wait for him, and then went to a guest room next door with the bald middle-aged man.
This time, the bald middle-aged man's attitude changed greatly. After entering the room, he politely asked Feng Chou to sit down. "Mr. Leo, please forgive my caution. After all, this is a big business, and I have to confirm your identity. Now that I have confirmed your identity, I think we can officially talk about cooperation."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself last time. I'm Darnel. You can call me Sir Darnel. I'm the president of the El Chamber of Commerce."
Feng Chou nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Darnell. My conditions haven't changed. It's still the same as what I told you three days ago."
Darnel said, "Your request is very reasonable. I think I have no reason to refuse, but I have to add one more thing. For this cooperation, your safety will be the most important. So, I will send four guards to protect you all day. I hope you won't refuse."
Feng Chou understood that the so-called protection was actually surveillance, but he also knew that he could not refuse. Even if he refused, it would be useless. The other party would never allow him, a golden key, to be out of control.
So, he simply nodded and agreed.
The two sides quickly negotiated the conditions. Darnel asked the butler to send him and Glise away. When Feng Chou walked out of the villa again, not only did he have a female companion, but he also had four more attendants.
According to Darnel's introduction, the four guards sent to him were two level 6 warriors and two level 6 Rogues. But Qiankun Pagoda's scan told him that this was not the case. The two level 6 warriors were both level 3 or level 4 Rogues, and the two level 6 Rogues were both warriors.
Part-time jobs were very common among middle and low-level professions. Because of their talent, each profession had its own ceiling. For ordinary people, it was already lucky to be able to reach level 5 or step into the threshold of the middle grade. Level 6 or at most level 7 was the ceiling for these ordinary professions.
But even if they reached the ceiling, there was still a way to improve their strength. Part-time jobs were a good way.
Although for a person who had trained according to the warrior training method for more than ten years, adapting to the training of a Rogue was often twice the effort for half the result, it was always a way to continue to move forward.
For intermediate professions, for a part-time job below level 5, two levels were equivalent to one level above the intermediate level. So, a level 6 warrior who was a level 4 Rogue was about the same level as a level 8 warrior.
The advantage of part-time jobs was that their adaptability was often broader than that of pure professions.
These four new followers looked to be middle-aged men in their forties. To be able to reach this level at this age, they could be regarded as outstanding.
Darnel arranged a carriage for Feng Chou to send him to the Mage School in the Southern District. He had already arranged Feng Chou's enrollment and arranged a small villa for him in the Mage School. These four guards would enter the school as his followers and protect him closely.
Feng Chou gladly accepted this arrangement.
Feng Chou did not take the carriage arranged for him by Darnel. Instead, under the murderous gaze of Gloria's family knight, he sat in her carriage.
Gloria took two family knights with her. One of them was in his forties, with a serious face with determination. Whether walking or riding, he had to be straight.
The result of Qiankun Pagoda's scan told Feng Chou that he was a level 7 knight without any part-time job.
Feng Chou knew this knight. His name was Devitt, a knight of the Clifford family. Devitt's family had served the Clifford family for five generations. These five generations had all successfully advanced to become knights, which was relatively rare in Antalya.
The other family knight looked less than thirty years old, but was already a level 6 knight. Feng Chou also knew this guy. His name was Jared. When Gloria's husband was alive, he was one of the most talented children of the Clifford family. After he advanced to become a knight, he became a civilian knight of the Clifford family. This guy was also one of Gloria's admirers. When Leo pursued Gloria, he was often troubled by him.
These two knights were wearing full-body plate armor that ordinary mercenaries rarely wore. Because there was no danger here, their fully-enclosed helmets were hung on their horses.
Generally speaking, knights who served nobles, whether hereditary or civilian, rarely had part-time rogues. This was because most of the battles that knights had to face were direct confrontations. The effect of part-time rogues was not great. Mercenaries and caravan guards, on the other hand, had more advantages because they had to deal with changing situations.
Of course, the Clifford family did not have a good impression of Leo, a pretty boy who sneaked into a lady's room.
