The armor summoner will not be involved in the event

After all, he was nominally a long-term worker, so he decided to ask about the salary and working hours.

The content can be discussed later. If the request is too inappropriate, he can just refuse. At least when he was a mercenary, he basically only accepted protection and escort missions, and never accepted any killing missions.

"The payment is that I will help you find the stone, and I will provide you with everything I can while you serve me. This contract will last until I become queen."

Sounds pretty good?

Alcaide thought.

The Nebilis Royal Court was established only a hundred years ago, and the current queen is the eighth generation, which means that on average each queen only serves for more than ten years.

In fact, except for a few who ruled for more than twenty years, most of them were replaced within a few years. After all, as a high-end combat force and even the strongest in the royal hall, the queen’s mortality rate is still quite high.

The eighth generation reigned for about fifteen years. According to this rule, it would be soon before the next generation stepped down.

But Miss Tia is actually a princess?

Belatedly, he discovered the other party's identity only after considering the possible length of time he would be working in this job.

Never mind. It doesn’t matter. At least my salary won’t be delayed.

Someone who had been owed wages several times and had to hang his clients off a cliff to collect their wages didn't care much about the identity of the new boss.

"So, what am I going to do?"

"All."

"what?"

"I said, all of it."

A certain memory came to my mind——

"Family members, let me tell you, the woman we arrested today was a little outrageous."

"I do not want to hear."

"Same."

"Don't even mention it if your values ​​are simply not right."

"Mingming, shut up! Listen to me! That woman played with me in twelve different positions for six hours..."

"Speak the key."

"Oh, she finally said that it doesn't matter if she wants to break her as long as she agrees to marry her."

"What does that have to do with outrageous?"

"She has a younger brother."

"?"

"Gambler, you're staying in the place."

"??"

"Then her parents favored boys over girls, and she agreed with that."

"???"

"And she thought it was a good deal to exchange her body for a man who could support her family for the rest of their lives, and she told me so directly. Then I..."

"Okay, stop talking. Pojun, come to daddy."

"Remember, honey, if you meet a woman who offers you good conditions but makes outrageous demands, stay away from her politely. If you meet someone like Big Dad, just ignore the politeness and stay away from him."

"Huh? You're prejudiced! And don't listen to your mother too much. At least take advantage of others before running away!"

……

Although at the moment, in this situation, only the last two sentences may have some reference value, and there is no situational comparison at all, but Alcaide intends to fully consider the words of the elders in the family.

"Please tell me in detail. I don't have any talent for art or language communication. If you think I can't do it, there's nothing I can do."

Fortunately, the other party’s “all” does not mean that I should be a universal nanny who can solve everything for her.

"Don't you have any combatants?"

"……Correct."

The weakest pureblood who was not considered to have even the slightest chance of successfully running for the position of queen was only recognized for her social abilities. Even though Illitia was only fifteen years old, she was already responsible for most of the Lou family's diplomatic duties. The remaining part was to be used for the second daughter, who was only thirteen years old, and the third daughter, who was ten years old, to train them to master basic political skills in the future.

"Whether it's guards, spies, or combat troops, those things have nothing to do with me. I need you to stay by my side and take charge of all combat-related work."

It sounds like the workload is quite heavy, so it is understandable that the other party would offer a salary that seems to be out of reach.

If you think about it carefully, the office worker next door also mentioned that if the boss is willing to pay him the full salary, he would be willing to bet his life on working for him.

Although Alcaide had never heard similar remarks from his parents, he understood that the workload and salary should be in a reasonable proportion.

But he doesn't want to work himself to death, and he can't do all kinds of work.

"I don't kill people, and I won't help you wage an unjust war. If you can accept these two points, I can help you with most things I can do."

Don't be too confident. This is the truth he learned after suffering a few losses.

Hearing this, Ilitia showed a peaceful smile.

"You... are you the Wind and Thunder Sword Saint who swept across the battlefield of the Imperial Hall in the past few years? Can you tell me why you have never killed anyone?"

"The war between these two countries is unjust, and killing is also unjust. I don't want to be an unjust person, it's that simple."

This answer was a little beyond Illitia's expectations.

She originally thought that the other party might be the descendant of the Imperial Court and the Royal Court, and she was in a dilemma and chose not to kill anyone, but she did not expect that he was an idealist who adhered to morality.

"Do you want to prevent a war between the two countries?"

"I'm not interested. I just felt uncomfortable when I saw it, so I overturned both vehicles."

"If I appear on the battlefield, how will you protect me?"

"Knock down everyone except us."

"That's it."

Ilitia looked at his serious eyes and felt relieved.

He's not the kind of knight who only cares about himself.

But... for me who still has something to hope for, this kind of person might be better.

"Then, from today on, you are a subordinate of me, Ilitia Lu Nebilis IX."

Reaching out her hand to the man, the [weakest] princess gained the [strongest] subordinate.

【330】The Challenge of a Little Girl (Update)

Palais de Lou Elze, the villa of the Lou family.

"I think your definition of a villa is quite different from mine."

Having just passed through the area that is more than an hour's drive away, which is called the vestibule grassland, Alcaide exclaimed when he saw the white castle in front of him.

"When our ancestors came to this land hundreds of years ago, it was said that there was no grass growing here at that time. But it was precisely because it was such a wasteland that we could enclose as much as we wanted."

"They wouldn't build such an outrageous castle, would they? How many people are there to maintain and clean it?"

"Five, not counting the gardener and the cook."

"Are the Lu family some kind of vampire capitalists?"

"This place is like a sanctuary that will never be disturbed. Even in the Lu family, it is considered a vacation spot that will never be easily disturbed. Therefore, there will naturally be higher requirements for the servants who stay here."

"For example... all high-level talents?"

"I guess so. But those five are all Celestial Spirit Masters. Although none of them possess combat celestial spirits, they are all rare subspecies of various types."

"for example?"

"There is a child who possesses the [Mist Star Spirit]. Although it cannot hide body temperature, it can make him invisible."

I think your understanding of non-combat Protoss is a little bit problematic.

In an instant, a lot of assassination techniques that could be done by the Mist Star Spirit, such as frontal poisoning and frontal throat slitting, popped up in his mind. Alcaide opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.

If only one person can be kept invisible, then once this person does not have sufficient individual combat power, he or she will only be suitable for stealth and reconnaissance capabilities.

Perhaps she saw that he considered the servants as a possible fighting force, so Ilitia said, "From the agreement to their own abilities, you cannot use them for fighting."

Having given up the idea, Alcade did not pay much attention to the introduction of the five maids when he entered the castle. Without any subsequent education from his parents, he was essentially a self-centered kid who did not care about the eyes of strangers and did not care about things like the ways of the world.

"...wouldn't you like to get to know them better?"

"I'm just your bodyguard. Socializing is your own business, right?"

"…………At least we have to know each other."

"I just introduced myself."

Perhaps one's subordinates are unexpectedly not good at interacting with others?

Ilitia did not force it and instead talked about the next arrangements.

"I will arrange for you to settle down in a room in the east wing. I have my own room in the west wing. I will call you when necessary, or I may ask the maid to call you over. If you plan to exercise, there is also a sports field in Lu Elz Palace, but that kind of place is not suitable for using star spirits. It can only support physical training."

"I don't have a star spirit."

Ilitia stopped.

"The Wind and Thunder Sword Master who swept through tens of thousands of troops said that he has no Star Spirit?"

"Yes," he said as a matter of course, "If you repeat the task of defeating one person ten thousand times, wouldn't you be able to literally wipe out the enemy? Star Spirit, is it useful?"

"Weren't you held back by a pureblood? By Grouli's Sin Star Spirit."

Alcaide frowned and thought about what the other party was talking about.

So far, there have been quite a few Protoss that have been successfully released in front of him, because he quite likes this kind of "juggling trick" that looks more fancy than street magic. After watching it, he would be gentler on those Protoss with wonderful "performances" - just enough to knock them out but not cause too much pain.

However, what really gave him the impression that the Protoss were not all interesting toys was a dark purple monster released by an old man in a wheelchair.

Although both sides were clearly just in a stalemate, that thing gradually grew to the point where he felt like he was dealing with a monster created by "Big Daddy".

The fighting instinct of humans, which had been dormant for a long time because it had become increasingly easy to deal with the enemy, was fully activated in that rare incident.

The result is that I gain new [power].

Then it was another one-sided defeat.

[Adversity will bring you strength] - This is the truth that [Grandfather] mentioned when he first started to remember things.

And growing up on the battlefield repeatedly reminded him of this.

"That monster that's immune to physical damage, right?"

"Yes, Grouli's avatar beast is a product of the counterattack-type celestial spirit. It will continue to grow according to the enemy's fulfillment of the conditions of [Sin]. I remember that the information he gave mentioned that you used the arrow of light to pierce his avatar beast."

“That’s sword energy.”

"?"

"Chinese martial arts, isn't it amazing?"

Because the answer was too ridiculous, Illitia couldn't understand it at all.

"Can it be so magical as to generate energy attacks?"

"sure."

"..."

Because of Ilitia's silence, an awkward atmosphere began to spread.

But this atmosphere did not last long, because a somewhat shrill female voice broke the situation.

"sister!"

A girl with long golden hair ran over excitedly. The golden hair reflected the light with a little rainbow light, making Alcaide's eyes lose focus for a moment. A petite figure seemed to crawl out from the depths of his memory, but was smoothed out and erased like a beach washed by the waves.

After noticing the other person's beautiful ruby ​​eyes, the feeling of remembering someone disappeared without a trace.

"Good afternoon, Alice."

Ilitia, who was two heads taller than her sister, leaned over slightly and hugged her.
