Arad's Sword

Chapter 243 The Confrontation of Words
The second day, afternoon.

The sky arena is located in the mansion area of ​​the floating island.

In an exquisite and luxurious yet classical mansion, in front of the huge French windows, Midi and a woman in plain white were sitting face to face.

The well-dressed old butler respectfully poured a cup of steaming black tea for each of them, then bowed slightly, and stood behind the woman, as if she was her patron saint.

This woman is naturally the youngest daughter of the president of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, Victoria Rothschild.

"Miss Victoria, I'm a rough person. If you have anything you want me to do, you may as well just say it. As long as the price is right, I, Daofeng, will definitely agree to it!" Midi took a sip of black tea, showing a sunny smile that is harmless to humans and animals. , This is straight to the point.

Although the atmosphere in this room is extremely harmonious, at this moment, Midi is full of energy and dare not be negligent at all. It can even be said that he is more focused on dealing with the "Bloody Killing Sword" Qiulan still needs to concentrate.

Because this room is also a battlefield, a battlefield where there is no smoke and blood, and it is purely a battle of brainpower.

As for Midi on this battlefield, to be honest, she is more of an amateur.

After all, no matter how much she has dealt with those chambers of commerce, maritime families, etc. on the west coast, Midi has never been a businessman, and she is not sensitive to money at all.What's more, this is not the west coast, but the sky and sea of ​​clouds, and the way of trade is different, and Midi basically didn't understand it during this year's exploration.

It can be said that it is a completely unfamiliar field, so he has to be cautious, so as not to let key information pass by under his nose, but he has not yet realized it.

Not only that, but in order to make up for her own disadvantage, Midi deliberately delayed for a whole day, and after posing enough, she slowly accepted Victoria's invitation in order to increase her social status.

But even so, Midi still didn't dare to make any excuses.

Therefore, he can only try to force the other party into his own rhythm, and discuss straight to the point, so as not to get caught up in the cloud and get nothing in the end.

However, since Victoria Rothschild is a professional, how could it be possible to obey Midi's wishes?
The brown-haired and blue-eyed beautiful woman from heaven smiled slightly, took a sip of black tea in an elegant manner, and then said: "Mr. Dao Feng is really quick to talk, and I also admire your record very much, so I hope that you can serve as We are the route guards of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, to deter those daring air pirates!"

Where there are commercial trade routes, there are highway robbers. This has nothing to do with the region, environment and race, but is purely caused by the greed in the hearts of intelligent races.

There are all kinds of bandits and thieves on the mainland of Arad, and there are always many pirates on the west coast, but in the sea of ​​​​clouds, of course, there are also sky pirates.It is said that the large air pirate group even has more than ten airships, which is stronger than the human forces who have just set foot here for only a year.

"Sky pirate..." Midi's eyes flickered.

"Of course, we are also very clear that the competition rules for high-level gladiators are once a month, and one competition must be held, otherwise it will be treated as a lack of competition and directly judged as a defeat. On this point, the Chamber of Commerce will definitely not embarrass Mr. Blade , we will try our best to stagger the escort missions with your competition period, unless it is a special emergency... However, that kind of situation will only happen once a year at most, and if there is an absence, we will definitely give enough compensate."

Victoria added in a timely manner, every word was extremely detailed.

"Also, Mr. Blade, you might as well take a look to see if this remuneration is appropriate." Victoria pushed a piece of platinum letter paper in front of Midi. Judging from her demeanor, she was obviously extremely confident about the price she offered.

And the above figure did surprise Midi a little bit - this is at least ten times the revenue of the Sky Arena, and there is a lot of "Essence of Light" that Midi needs, not powder, but crystal Stone particles!

Obviously, the other party not only conducted a detailed investigation, but also made plans for various situations, obviously to dispel all Midi's doubts.

For this sake, for a normal high-level gladiator, there is nothing to be picky about.

After all, after the [-]th floor, although the income of high-level gladiators increases, the cost will also increase greatly. The competition itself cannot maintain the huge expenses, whether it is the resources required for training, communication, promotion, or even maintenance. The salaries of the servants required for ostentation, etc., are a lot of money.

This cannot be supported by bonuses and ticket share alone.Because of this, most high-level gladiators will look for forces to rely on, and usually complete various tasks for major forces, or simply become their vassals.

Today, the conditions put forward by Victoria are nothing to Midi Asrex, who is the ruler of Bel Mare, but to the single-handed human gladiator "Blade" he plays, it is already It can be regarded as quite generous.

There is no reason not to agree.

However, after talking for a long time, the other party almost took the initiative. Midi felt that he didn't seem to have touched the essence of the problem at all.

Of course, it is impossible for Midi to ask such a blatantly stupid question as "How did the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce enter the big storm area", but at least he must try to open a breakthrough.

Otherwise, after the names of the two parties are settled, if I just become the captain of the guard step by step, it will be troublesome to move. Maybe I can only rely on spies to obtain information.

Spy is also a kind of violence, so there is naturally a risk of being discovered. If possible, Midi still hopes to use this method as little as possible.

"Miss Victoria, I'm very satisfied with the conditions you offered." Midi coughed, and looked at the other party calmly with those dark eyes, but there was a strong and powerful look in her eyes. Penetrating power, "It's just that I'm very satisfied, so I'm curious, why did you choose a wanderer like me who doesn't know the details?"

Hearing this question, instead of showing any impatience, Victoria flashed a look of approval in her beautiful emerald green eyes.

Facing the excellent conditions of the high-dollar employment, he was not dazzled or complacent, but calm as always and asked key questions. This is not something a mere gladiator can do.

This young man with black hair and black eyes has already broken away from the category of a simple martial artist, but is enough to be regarded as a talent.

If he can successfully overcome this difficulty, perhaps he can recruit this person as his direct descendant.

Victoria thought so, and was considering her words, and when she was thinking about how to answer Midi, there was a crisp knock on the thick nanmu door of the tea room.

"Miss Victoria, it's me." Then, a magnetic male voice sounded.

It seems that the situation has finally changed a little.

Thinking of this, Midi slightly stretched her eyebrows. No matter who it is, it is a good thing to be able to break the current situation for herself.

It's just that I don't know if the visitor is a businessman as shrewd as Victoria Rothschild, or someone who can be led by his nose?Or, like the old Lund butler, complete the decoration that blends in with the background?

The person who came was an awakened gunner with a level of 58. He had blond hair and was about 24 or [-] years old. He had a handsome face and a slender figure. He was a very standard celestial person.

And Midi noticed even more keenly that there was a slightly fanatical love that could not be concealed in the eyes of this person looking at Victoria.

"This is Captain Itak, the captain of the guard who directly belongs to me." Victoria introduced lightly, but her face was a little embarrassed.

Obviously, she didn't invite this person to this conversation with Midi, and Yida Ke came completely uninvited.

However, Midi is not slow. Combined with Yi Dake's attitude, he can roughly guess that he is a man of two lives—this guy must be worried about Victoria chatting and drinking tea face to face, so he becomes jealous and desperate He ran over, wanting to disrupt the situation.

It's just that, although Yi Dake is a celestial person, in the final analysis, he is just a guard captain of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce. The status between him and Victoria can be said to be very different. Who gave him the status? How dare you dare to hide your love for the hostess so unabashedly?
Midi felt very strange.

In fact, when you think about it, the invitation from the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce itself was very hasty.

Even if he is powerful in force, how can he be directly reused after winning a game?Don't these businessmen know that loyalty is the most important character.

Thinking of this, Midi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be aware of Miss Victoria's true thoughts.

"Did I miss something?" The level 58 gunner said with a smile on his face, ignoring the reproachful gaze cast by the old housekeeper.

"Actually, Miss Victoria and I are discussing a key issue." Midi glanced at the other party, and deliberately said slowly, "That's why you hired me, a human from the lower realm, with such favorable conditions."

Itak was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Needless to say? Of course, it's because Mr. Blade is strong enough. Although he may not be as good at air combat as I am, it is more than enough to be an ordinary guard captain." Yes! Miss Victoria has always been eager for talents, so it is a good thing to have Mr. Blade's help!"

This is a purely perfunctory answer, but because it was a perfunctory thought up on the spur of the moment, it is full of flaws.

Enough to give Midi a glimpse of the truth.

After listening to this answer, Midi also showed a bright smile that is harmless to humans and animals, and then said: "Mr. Itak's statement is very satisfactory to me. If this is the case, then I will accept the invitation from the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce! "
