Guild Boss's Ambition

Looking at myself in the mirror, I paused for a moment.

"But this outfit is a bit old."

"No matter how frugal you are, you still can't save some gold coins that should be spent, right?"

"If you dress smartly, many things will be easier to accomplish..."

"Yeah, let's use this as an excuse to ask Sophie for some pocket money later, right?"

In order to prevent me from giving money to vulnerable groups such as refugees and beggars, my financial resources are now fully monitored by my younger sister. Aside from the daily expenses of 15 silver coins, all other funds, including those for work outside, must be approved by my younger sister before they can return to me. I have to live a more frugal life because of this.

However, although it is troublesome, isn't it all for the people and honor of my hometown?

As long as I think of the scenery of my hometown, I can hold on no matter how hard it is.

And my younger sister isn't too harsh.

There are also at least two opportunities a month to wet your mouth with whiskey.

Having said that, even as professional clergy, we knights still cannot do without alcohol products. Once we have tasted that, our nerves that shuttle between swords and sabers at close range will instinctively pursue the sublimation of alcohol.

Yes, alcohol is a sublime substance for warriors.

That kind of tipsy state can simulate the state of Zoom.

Zoom is not a legend, but a real existence.

Only when entering that state can a warrior become a true warrior.

I heard that it is a realm that only truly enlightened and powerful people can reach.

however……

I have clearly better sublimation products than vodka or whiskey.

My eyes fell silently on my sister's pillow.

To be or not to be……

Is this a question?

No, you don't have to think about it at all, okay?

Isn’t it natural for an elder sister to love and care for her younger sister?

"God said: Adultery is—"

"Shut up, you stupid God of Light!"

I gave a deep shout to the sacred voice in my head, and turned my thoughts into actions. I walked to the double bed and put my sister's pillow into the space ring. Since our pillowcases are of the same style, even if I took one away, Sophie would not find out that it was hers. If she doubted it, she could just use the fact that she was not used to sleeping on a strange pillow as a sufficient reason.

"God said: Lying is—"

"If you keep talking, I'll kill you, stupid God of Light!"

I silenced the chanting in my head once again, got ready and stepped out the door.

At this time, it was still early, only half past nine.

Just had breakfast in the restaurant downstairs.

Today, the chef's cooking is as good as yesterday.

Whether it's the herb grilled chicken toast or the milk coffee, they both suit my taste very well.

Unlike other guests, as a contract adventurer here, I enjoy a 50% discount on meals.

I only spent one silver coin on breakfast.

It felt good to be full, and it felt good to save money. Feeling comfortable and good, I went to the door of the stone house ten minutes early as agreed, found a stone pillar, and stood there waiting for Miss Bai Ye.

Suddenly, a hand silently slipped behind me and patted my shoulder.

I was startled! I turned my head and looked back, only to see a big, ferocious white face.

Hiss ...

The owner of the white face howled like a wild beast, but the howl itself was meaningless and not enough to hurt us. I had long been accustomed to dealing with these confusing noises calmly. I was originally exposed due to lack of precautions, but after hearing this howl, I was no longer surprised, let alone afraid.

I looked coldly at the clown with white face and fox ears in front of me.

Seeing that I was not frightened, she gave me two thumbs up.

Then she pointed at my sword and made a vague sound like a baby. Although the meaning was not clear, I could guess that she wanted to borrow my sword for performance. I thought that this sword was not the cross sword I usually used, but just an ordinary standard long sword, so I readily lent it to her.

The Paladins are strict about discipline, but that doesn't stop them from having a sense of humor.

As soon as the fox-eared clown appeared on the stage, some audiences gradually gathered around him.

The clown took my sword and took out seven apples from a cloth bag.

She threw an apple into the air...

Then the second, third, fourth...

Go all the way to the seventh one...

Seven apples that were constantly being thrown and caught, rising and falling, formed a rhythmic picture in the air.

However, this level of skill is quite common for adventurers in Mopolis City.

Perhaps realizing this ordinariness, the fox-eared clown added an eighth item to the throwing and catching process - my sword.

Moreover, the significance of my sword in this performance was not just tossing and catching objects. It also accurately cut an apple in half every time it was thrown up, and the split apple was caught and thrown up by the clown. Gradually, as the number of times the sword rose increased, the number of apple particles in the air increased to hundreds -

"Your hands are so fast, but if you keep going like this..."

I was amazed at the frequency with which the fox-eared clown could throw and catch apples. However, no matter how dexterous one's hands are, they are still human hands and have a limit. Sure enough, when the number of apples increased to 150, the fox-eared clown's shots had a tiny deviation, and the height of the throw and catch also rose by a few inches.

"Perhaps we should stop her—"

however!

I just had the thought, and the clown who was about to catch the long sword slipped, and amid the uproar of the crowd, the long sword pierced through the clown's body, and wet blood immediately splattered all over the ground. The clown who met with the accident looked down at the standard long sword inserted at his waist, and then fell to the ground in the next moment as if he had lost all his strength.

"Oh my God!"

I prayed, rushed over first, picked her up, and reached out to check her wounds.

At this moment, the standard long sword turned into a pool of clear water.

“Squeak—”

The fox-eared clown suddenly opened his eyes and let out a strange laugh.

Obviously, she was not injured. Everything was deliberately arranged by her. My standard long sword had already been switched by her in a series of throws and catches. And the long sword and blood we saw in the end were all tricks she created through water magic. She used her life and the sympathy of others to attract attention. To be honest -

"This is not interesting at all. Give me back the sword."

A clown's job is supposed to bring happiness to people, but her joke was too big. The good impression I had of her was instantly wiped out. I expressed my anger without reservation and asked her to return my sword in a cold tone.

But the fox-eared clown showed an innocent and satisfied smile.

"Haha, you're angry? That's great."

"What did you say?"

I was stunned by her smile. Her smile seemed as innocent as a child, as if she had completed a difficult game.

But before she could answer my question, or return the sword to me, I heard an extremely urgent call from afar: "Miss Fritz! Miss Fritz!"

The source of the voice was Miss Lannong from the stone house. She and Miss Bai Ye were sitting in a galloping carriage, rushing towards the road in front of me. Behind them was President Ehard, who was chasing the carriage with his two muscular long legs.

Seeing me looking back, Miss Lannong shouted to me from a distance: "Miss Fritz! Please get in the car quickly!"

I was still in the standoff with the clown, looking confused: "Get in the car? Why?"

Miss Lannong looked back at President Ehard behind the car and shouted anxiously, "There's no time to explain! Get in the car!"

I looked at Miss Lannong, and then at President Ehard who was chasing the carriage like a wolfhound. Finally, I gave up the idea of ​​asking the clown for a long sword, and decided to trust the cute poster girl. I jumped on the carriage when it approached. However, because the carriage was moving too fast, I inevitably lost my balance and fell into the carriage.

But what took my hold was not a hard wooden board, but a cold and soft body.

"Good morning, Miss Fritz." The necromancer said to me.

"Don't run! Stop the car! Stupid Xiaolan! Stupid Xiaolan!" The president yelled from behind the car.

……

……

30. On the way to town (Raftan)

(Raftan-Fritze)

The carriage rumbled forward, heading towards the location of the expedition - Monte Town.

"Huh - finally they left."

When President Ehard's figure disappeared on the horizon, Miss Lannong's nervous expression relaxed. She hugged the stitched dog that maintained the Shiba Inu's body shape and slumped on the soft couch in the high-end carriage.

By the way, isn't it very expensive to rent a carriage like this?

It almost takes up a quarter of the reward for the entire crusade mission...

I guess the two people opposite are here for tourism, right?

No, wait...

Why did Miss Lannong go to Monte Town with us?

Miss Lan Nong let out a long sigh and shouted angrily, "I really didn't expect Sister Meng'er to be so opposed to me going on a mission with you guys. I say, Bai Ye, if you can show more love, peace and friendship on a daily basis, I think Sister Meng'er wouldn't be so worried today. Oh my, after the mission is over, I don't know how to appease Sister Meng'er..."

At this time, the leisurely Bai Ye had already started brewing black tea in the carriage.

"Hehe, then you can go and sleep with her for one night, and when you wake up the next day, won't the world be at peace?"

Sleep with you?

Oh, sleep with me. Sleep with me~

If a lovely sister makes a mistake, she will definitely be forgiven if she acts coquettishly towards her elder sister.

would not!

Look at the way Ehard was just now. Acting like a spoiled child won't make her calm down! If Sophie suddenly told me one day that she was going to go on a subjugation mission with a necromancer, I would certainly persuade her sternly. If she insisted on doing it the way Miss Lannong did just now, I would be furious.

This messy little poster girl will definitely be severely punished by the president later.

I advised Miss Lannong, "Well, Miss Lannong, are you going to join our crusade mission despite the opposition of President Ehard? To be honest, I don't think this is a good idea. Our target this time is the notorious marching wolf. During the execution of the mission, any accidents may happen. I hope you won't be too playful for a moment."

However, Miss Lannong showed no sign of changing her mind.

She said seriously, "No, I'm not just having fun. I really want to become a mission appraiser like Hai Lao. But to appraise missions, you must have knowledge of the battlefield. The knowledge learned in books is often limited to theory. I want to see the real thing, see the true appearance of those monsters, and see the risks you take when fighting them!"

Mission assessor?

I looked at Miss Lan Nong deeply, and Bai Ye next door gave me a faint smile.

Understood.

It seems that this is not just a temporary trick...

From the eyes of Lan Nong girl, although I can't see dreams or ideals...

But there is indeed that sincere longing.

And given Miss Bai Ye's strength and knowledge, nothing stopped her from coming along, so it seems that she already has the confidence and awareness to protect her. In that case, there is nothing I can refuse.

My sword and my shield exist to protect people's freedom and dreams.

Putting a bird in a cage because you are afraid that it will get hurt is the worst form of protection and the saddest form of surrender.

In order to emphasize the danger of this trip, I deliberately said in a serious tone, "Since we are pursuing progress, I can accept your company for the time being. However, if you do anything that I deem inappropriate during this mission, please withdraw from this journey immediately. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I understand." The little mascot nodded heavily.

I added, "In addition, from this moment on, you must strictly follow the instructions of Miss Bai Ye and me."

At this time, Bai Ye smiled and touched the head of the poster girl, echoing: "Yes, yes, Wulu, you must remember to be obedient! Whether it is pouring tea and water, warming the bed and bathing, or other shameless orders, you must follow them~~"

I was speechless: "Ms. Bai Ye, please respect yourself."

The necromancer showed an incredible expression and exclaimed in surprise: "Eh──Miss Raftan, are you really not interested at all? This poster girl is not an ordinary poster girl. Don't look at her young age, she knows everything about that aspect. If you succeed in conquering her, she will definitely make you feel very comfortable──"

I glanced at the blushing Lan Nong girl and solemnly repeated the previous line: "Miss Bai Ye, please respect yourself."
