"Madam, why are you here in Saint-reims?"
Sylvia looked at Madam Vasaki curiously. She picked up the sweet brew in her hand and took a sip. Then, she corrected Salia's posture with the fork for the third time and waited for Vasaki's answer.
Madam Vasaki looked at Salia dotingly. She gracefully changed her sitting posture and let her plump body sink deep into the armchair. She looked back at Sylvia and teased, "Your good wife is so poor that she can't afford to eat, so she came here to do business."
Then, she secretly glanced at Many who was gnawing on the trotters. The latter's mouth was full of grease, as if he did not hear it.
"Madam, your clothes are so expensive!
How can you be poor? "Sylvia looked incredulous, her silver hair swinging." But it's really beautiful!
I want to buy a few sets! "
"You can buy them anytime, my dear little Nana."
Madam Vasaki coaxed Sylvia like a child. Because of Sylvia's childish nature, she always liked to stick to Vasaki like a big sister when they were in Karo City. The relationship between the two could be said to be very good. When there was nothing to do, Sylvia always went to chat with Vasaki. Of course, the more important reason was that Sylvia admired Madam Vasaki's archery the most.
That's right, it was archery, not magic.
"Elena, I'm also new here. The Queltos Trading Company is very famous here. I'll have to entrust my business to your company in the future!"
Madam Vasaki was the center of conversation in the small circle. All the topics were led by the beautiful Medusa.
Elena looked away from Noda, who was also gnawing on the trotters. She smiled slightly, and her shrewd eyes immediately reflected her merchant nature. "Why do you need our help?
Madame Vasaki, you must be joking. Your works are hard to find in Saint-Rames. If you're interested, I suggest that you ask my father to help you change your business model … "
The more she spoke, the more energetic she became. It seemed that the young lady with outstanding business talent had suddenly found her first experimental target.
Noda swallowed the fifth steak into his mouth and burped delightfully. He looked around for a toothpick. Many people looked at Elena, whose eyes were shining, and Mrs. Vasaki, who was "listening" patiently, with great interest, but their thoughts drifted far away.
The world was still relatively peaceful at the moment, but many understood that if the contents of the letter were true and the invasion of the undead began, the days of peaceful business would become increasingly rare.
Many people looked at Sylvia, who would interrupt from time to time, and Salia, who was sitting there hugging Madam Vasaki's arm and acting like a spoiled child. Many sighed and drank the wine in their glasses sadly, but in their hearts, they began to think about their own means of survival.
It had been a long time since he had absorbed the dragon skeletons, and he could sense that his abilities had already reached the Tier 7 stage. Moreover, they were rushing toward the Tier 8 stage at an astonishing rate. However, this rate of growth had begun to slow down recently. It was as if he was feeling exhausted after a long run, and he was unable to muster up any strength.
This made many people a little disappointed. After all, the yearning for power was very urgent for people like them who relied on war for a living.
The crossbow was destroyed by the undead assassin in the battle, and they lost one of their life-saving weapons. This made many people depressed, not only because of its importance, but also because of its price.
Many shook their heads and gave up the idea of mourning for the "priceless" crossbow.
Strangely enough, in the three face-to-face battles with the undead assassin, they did not gain any advantage. And this time, they encountered an attack on Sylvia, Salia, and the others, and they could not help but feel a deep sense of defeat. Could it be that after absorbing the dragon skeleton and obtaining such great power, they would still encounter such life-threatening threats at any time in the future?
The seemingly peaceful world hid a fatal threat in the dark. This made many people unable to let down their guard.
The undead assassin could assassinate Castellan Carlo in front of so many people, so naturally, it was possible that he could assassinate any other important person, and they might not be able to stop him.
Those three assassins could almost easily kill them, so they could also easily kill other professionals of level seven and above.
A strong sense of crisis shrouded many people.
Many people thought that they were still a lowly little mercenary who could not call for help every day. Even if they were not weak, not stupid, and not bad hearted, there was really no place for them to use their skills.
Looking at the people at the table — their comrade Noda, who had gone through fire and water with them, Elena, who already had the demeanor of a businesswoman, Salia, who had a sweet face but had already reached the level of a Magic Shooter, Mrs. Vasaki, who was unfathomable, and the silly girl Sylvia who had already entered level seven. Looking at them, many people suddenly understood what they needed to protect in this upcoming chaotic world.
"Little guy, why are you in a daze?" Mrs. Vasaki's voice sounded in their ears.
Many people came back to their senses and looked blankly at Vasaki, who was smiling at them. Then, they looked around blankly and found that everyone was getting up and preparing to leave. Then, they realized that they were distracted and quickly got up. But they heard Mrs. Vasaki suddenly say in a low voice, "Stay for a while, I have something to tell you."
Something?
Many people thought for a while but could not figure it out, so they just nodded and said, "No problem."
However, when Sylvia saw this scene with her sharp eyes, she suddenly thought of something. She skipped to Mrs. Vasaki's side and said coquettishly, "Madam, I have something to tell you in private, okay?"
Mrs. Vasaki could not stand Sylvia's coaxing and pestering. After a few evasive words, she finally agreed. This made Sylvia act coquettishly again. Many people who saw this were depressed — how could this little girl have such a side to her?
Many people and Sylvia had things to discuss with Mrs. Vasaki, while Noda and Elena went back to the hotel first. In fact, it was the property of Elena's family. Karl's family was considered very rich, but they did not live in a mansion, but Elena lived in a shabby hotel. It could not be denied that her thoughts were already known to everyone.
Salia still liked to be with Mrs. Vasaki, so she also stayed. The four of them found another quiet bar and sat down in an elegant private room.
It had to be said that the bars in Saint-Rames had a strong exotic flavor for many people, and this "Bloody Rose" highlighted the atmosphere of the upper class in Saint-Rames.
The private room was not big, but it was just enough for four people. Mrs. Vasaki and the little girl Salia sat on one side, and Many people sat with Sylvia, who looked as if she had succeeded in her scheme.
To Many people's surprise, Mrs. Vasaki did not look for them for any special matter. Instead, it was about Elena's commercial proposal. Although Mrs. Vasaki was outstanding, no one was perfect. She did not have much talent in business. During the dinner, she listened to many of Elena's suggestions and felt that her plan was very feasible. However, as a cautious person, she needed to confirm with Many people whether Elena was trustworthy.
Many people sighed in their hearts. Mrs. Vasaki seemed to understand that she should change her way of management to make her people have a better life. For so many years, Mrs. Vasaki had barely made her tailor shop famous. Although it was profitable, the shop's ability was limited, which led to a vicious cycle of worsening living conditions for the Medusa in the underground city.
Many people were touched by Mrs. Vasaki's complete trust in them.
"Is Elena trustworthy?"
He smiled calmly. "I bet my head that as long as that bastard Noda doesn't turn to the undead, she is trustworthy."
