Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 85 Cooling Down the Passion? Quick Mission Completion!

The blood had gone cold.

This was how everyone in the Grerat family felt, while Hilfi looked at Philip with a pale face.

Paul, Senis, Lilia, Rudy, and Hilfi instinctively looked at Allen.

Before he could even turn his eyes, he heard Allen's leisurely words drifting into his ears.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"My name is Allen."

The air fell silent for a moment, but it seemed to be just an illusion.

All eyes were now on Allen, whose smile remained completely expressionless as he calmly gave his reply.

You asked me if my name is Allen?

Yes, that's right, my name is Allen.

These are words that can be uttered without thinking.

But the problem is Philip's son, also named Allen.

Rudy stared at Allen in shock, completely bewildered by what he was about to do. Although they had never hidden Allen's name because it was too common, the man in front of him was his father. Wasn't he afraid of being recognized on the spot?

Upon hearing Allen's words, Philip's expression faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He watched Allen's calm smile with great interest, as if admiring a work of art he had created himself.

"Allen? That's a good name. What a coincidence, my eldest son is also named Allen."

Allen patted Rudy on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to worry, and said with a smile.

"That's quite a coincidence."

Philip looked at Allen's dark gray eyes, a common feature in the world of swords and magic, and said with a smile.

"I 'know' you."

Allen casually combed through Hilfi's white hair, and her heartbeat gradually calmed under his touch during the "Sensory Flow." He replied indifferently.

I've heard your name many times.

Philip seemed quite surprised, and reached out to touch Paul, who was about to interrupt, silencing him.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Allen glanced casually at Paul and the others, ignoring their tense expressions with his gaze, and answered casually.

"The name of the mayor of Roya is renowned."

After that, the two exchanged questions and answers at lightning speed, barely catching their breath, echoing in the courtyard.

"Hehe, I didn't expect I to be so famous. Aren't you curious how I've heard of you before?"

"Not curious."

Why?

"You have many eyes, so you can see far, right?"

"Many eyes? Can see far? That's an interesting claim."

"Wasn't Lord Paul's knighthood granted by you, Mayor? Of course, I am aware of the employer's situation."

"You mean I'll send someone to Buena village to keep a close eye on his every move?"

"With many eyes and a far-reaching vision, naturally one can see all the villages under their jurisdiction, not just the village of Buyena."

"Shouldn't I have known about you already?"

"Information cannot be accurately transmitted. Your 'filtering network' filters out useful information as 'useless information.' For example, the knight's family hiring an ordinary governess is a common occurrence. Since governesses have been used before, you didn't react much, did you?"

"You don't seem like the reckless adventurer the rumors suggest."

"Not all adventurers are reckless. You're joking."

"Then do you know why I'm here?"

Alan, seeing the collective constriction in the eyes of the entire Grellatt family, immediately retorted with a question.

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, aren't you curious why I'm looking for you?"

"There's nothing to be curious about."

Allen stopped speaking, and as Paul frantically wiped his sweat, he looked back at Philip, whose eyes had opened at some point.

"That must be because I slaughtered through the monster tide last year, and the news reached Roya City. As the mayor, you were just happy to see me, the one who made the contribution, so you came to Buena Village, right?"

"Can't there be any other reason?"

Allen smiled very gently.

"It can exist, but it shouldn't."

Across from him, for some time now, the look of admiration in Philip's eyes was even more intense than the midday sun.

"How old are you?"

Allen smiled but remained silent, offering no reply.

Because this is an exclamatory sentence, not a question.

Philip finished speaking again, turning to Paul and saying something.

"How's your decision about the letter I wrote to you? I think Allen is quite good. Last year I heard that a young man from Buena Village single-handedly fought his way through the entire Snow Valley of Monsters; I thought he was a real talent. I admire him. Aren't you really considering that job?"

Paul glanced at Philip, then at Allen, his expression a mix of confusion and helplessness.

The smoke and dust that had dissipated just minutes before reappeared in front of his face!

[Assessment (1/2), complete one part, time taken: 4 minutes and 57 seconds]

[Trapped in a mental and emotional predicament, unable to enter the tutoring period, but then an external force appears as an opportunity to enter the tutoring period. How should you seize it?]

[A reunion scheme? That's the worst outcome. A recruitment scheme! Hand it over!]

Philip had already deduced from subtle clues that you were his son, but James's informants didn't support his decision to acknowledge you. Even his reason for coming to Buena Village this time could only be based on the monster tide battle last winter; he couldn't openly reveal his true intentions.

The trip to Buena village was merely a recruitment drive.

[And you, without needing any tacit reminders, fully grasped Philip's intentions through prior information analysis, and in just a few words at their first meeting, you clearly expressed your thoughts to each other. Frankly, this completely surprised him.]

As for the name Allen? It's simply a coincidence of people sharing the same name.

[In a world without cameras, even if you returned to Roya, how could your current appearance possibly match the sharp-tongued brat James remembered?]

Instead of waiting for the "assessment" originally set by Philip, you directly and abruptly "demonstrated" yourself.

This saves a lot of time.

[You passed Philip's "test" ahead of schedule—"ability." In the eyes of a shrewd politician, your keen insight into information proves your excellent judgment of the situation; your calm demeanor proves your adaptability; and the Greirat family's concern for you proves your ability to cultivate relationships.]

This perfectly matches his ideal of the ideal person needed for political maneuvering.

All of this is based on the premise that you are only eleven years old.

[He's still his biological son.]

[Task Reward: Participation Rating: 5 points.]

[Comment: Opportunity is there, but if you don't seize it, it's meaningless. And you happen to be the one who seizes that opportunity.]

The wind blew across Paul's still somewhat bewildered face, climbed up to the window, and lifted the letter on the master bedroom table.

-

Paul, it's been a long time.

I heard that the monster riot in Buena Village last year was quelled with a slap on the wrist.

As expected of Paul.

but.

I heard that the key to solving the problem also involves a passing adventurer. Is this adventurer currently teaching at your house?

To be honest, I'm very interested in this kind of talent and intend to recruit him.

I also heard that your son has exceptional magical talent and is already a Saint-level magician at a young age.

Since he's your son's teacher, I can't very well steal him away, but I think...

Bringing your child to Roya City would be a better option.

I can acquire a talented individual, and your child will receive a better education. I'm also willing to pay each of them a salary of two gold coins per month.

And then help me with some very simple things, don't worry, it won't be anything violent or bloody.

Please think about this carefully.

Seeing the words is like seeing the person (the ink has blurred at the end of the characters).

Oh, right.

I heard that the adventurer is somewhat related to the matter I once asked you to handle.

His name sounds familiar.

Haha, there are really a lot of people named Allen.

Philip.

-

This letter.

Allen hasn't seen it.

This kind of plot is so hard to write, so hard to write!

I only managed to write this part of the story over the weekend, it was so hard to write!!!

I'm so confused.

I'll definitely come back tomorrow to support and read it! It's crucial for this book to reach 500 average views and earn me a minimum guarantee TT (sigh...)
