[Chapter 96 Earl Stuart]

When David found the office in the capital that was responsible for handling development affairs and handed in his materials and application, he only got a reply: leave your address and wait for notification.

“Fortunately, there are gold and jewelry given by Varian.” After hearing the reply from the receptionist, David knew that this matter might not be so easy to accomplish, and he might not waste much time in the capital.

Moreover, the capital would not provide any food and accommodation for David, Sharon, and Newton. Personal problems such as living and eating must be solved by David himself.

Fortunately, David brought a lot of gold and jewelry this time. Led by Newton, the two of them exchanged all these things for the currency of the Kingdom of Tiran, so they had the foundation for long-term residence in the capital.

“The outer city saves money, but the staff here will not go to the huge and chaotic outer city to find people.”

David and others can only choose to live in the expensive inner city, but living in the inner city is not a simple matter, and it is not something that can be done with money.

“You need to issue a certificate.”

The innkeeper told David that if he wanted to live in the inner city, even if it was just a short stay, he had to have an official certificate to prove that David was staying in the inner city reasonably before he could stay in the inn here.

In addition, it was also possible to have a guarantee from a noble in the capital. The guarantee of the noble had the same effect as the official certificate.

Helplessly, David could only go to the Development Affairs Department again and ask the receptionist to help him issue a certificate. For this, he spent a few more gold coins.

Seeing the satisfied smile on the other party’s face, David also asked about how long it would take for the application document to be approved under normal circumstances?

Perhaps the light of the gold coin was too dazzling, and the receptionist, who was confused by his mind, told David in a much gentler and kinder tone than before: “There is no exact time for this matter. If you are lucky and it is noticed by the people above, it will be handled in two or three days; if you are unlucky, it is not surprising that it has been left there for several months without a response.”

Moreover, David also wanted to “declare allegiance to His Majesty the King” this time, which was a little more troublesome-what if the upper-level officials who were dealing with it felt that such a trivial matter should be reported to His Majesty the King? It is not impossible to just throw this application aside and let it gather dust.

“I see, thank you!”

He extended his hand to shake hands with the other party to express his gratitude. The doubts in the receptionist’s eyes disappeared after he felt the hard touch in his palm, and he returned a brighter smile.

However, he just returned a smile, and did not ask for more help.

David cursed in his heart and left the office with a smile.

Anyway, the certificate was issued, and then he took the certificate to the hotel to book a room and paid a month’s deposit directly.

“Pay a month’s deposit directly? Do we have to stay here that long?” Sharon looked at the environment of the hotel and was very satisfied with the situation of the room.

The furnishings were simple and very clean, and the furniture did not feel damaged or old at all. The bedding was almost new, and there were even green plants in the room. I don’t know where the boss got them from? The weather has just started to warm up, right?

The few people booked a suite with three bedrooms, a shared living room, a simple bathroom and toilet. The toilet would be cleaned every once in a while to ensure that it would not affect the guests.

This kind of environment and service is indeed worthy of the high accommodation fee.

“I don’t think it will take a month to get things done.” David is also very satisfied with the environment here. It is a bit expensive, but he is not short of money now: “I am looking forward to someone coming to my house to cause trouble soon.”

According to Newton, the Kingdom of Tilan highly respects the strong and attaches great importance to people with strength. David thought that if there is a noble son who suddenly wants to rob a commoner because of Sharon’s beauty, but is beaten down by Sharon, this interesting anecdote may attract the attention of some people, and then notice himself as the head of Winter Village…

“Wait, is there something wrong with this plan?”

“What’s wrong?”

“According to the traditional story development, shouldn’t you stand up and knock down those nobles who want to rob me, play the role of a hero saving a beauty and attract the attention of the big shots?” Sharon listened to David’s plan while eating. Why did she seem to be busy all the time? David, the real head of the village, was actually watching the fun from the side?

“That kind of story is too cliché.” The Kingdom of Tilan has been strong for so many years, and the story of a hero saving a beauty has probably happened countless times. In comparison, how can it be more eye-catching than a beautiful woman who should have been the victim killing the victim?

Even though this is a world with mysterious powers, in the minds of most people, beautiful women are generally to be protected, rather than standing up to protect others.

“Okay, that makes sense.” Sharon took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly for a few times: “Then what should I do? Wander around the city?”

Since Sharon wants to make some noise and attract some people’s attention, then Sharon can’t hide in the hotel and not go out, otherwise no matter how beautiful she looks, others won’t be able to see her!

“No, if I’m right, someone will come to my door and get beaten soon.” David drank a sip of juice, then looked at the thing in his hand with satisfaction: “This is good, it tastes like grape juice, what is this?”

Newton, who was beside him, was originally concentrating on finishing the food in front of him. After hearing David’s question, he turned his head and looked at him, then stared at David with an expression of caring for the mentally retarded: “Grape juice.”

“…” David coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment. He couldn’t explain why he asked such a stupid question. He didn’t even know that there were grapes in this world. After all, he had never seen them in Iron Tree Castle.

The label of a country bumpkin could not be completely removed. David ate quietly and waited for the fish to take the bait.

Unexpectedly, the fish took the bait faster than he expected. Before the meal was finished, someone came to the hotel and asked to see Sharon by name – the guard asked for her name when entering the city.

The door of the suite was knocked. David was waiting for the other party to open the door and come in directly. Unexpectedly, the other party was very polite. Seeing no response, he knocked a few more times until David said please come in and then opened the door and walked in.

“Oh, sorry to bother you guys.”

A handsome man with long hair came in. He looked about 30 years old, wearing a gorgeous dress and shiny leather boots. When he saw the guys eating, he apologized immediately.

“I sincerely apologize for my intrusive visit.”

Waving his hand, the attendant behind him walked to the man with a box in his hand, then held the box in front of him and opened the lid.

Inside were necklaces, earrings and rings made of rubies, which were obviously a set of jewelry.

Sharon sat opposite David, and both of them were facing the door sideways. At this time, she stood up slightly and came to David, whispering, “This scene seems different from what you planned.”

“Excuse me, are you…” David certainly noticed this, but what could he do? Isn’t the Kingdom of Tilan complained about as a barbarian by people from many countries? Why are they all so polite?

“In front of you is Earl Sutton-Stewart of the Kingdom of Tilan.” The attendant holding the gift box solemnly introduced the identity of his master to David and others, and reminded David and others to show due respect to the Earl.

David and Sharon had left the table, stood up and walked to Earl Stewart and simply bowed.

The etiquette of the two was not very standard, let alone respect, but Earl Sutton-Stewart didn’t care about this little thing at all.

Since entering the room, Sutton-Stewart’s eyes have been on Sharon, and the expression on his face that he saw his favorite prey is very obvious. As for David and the old alchemist Newton beside Sharon, he didn’t even have the interest to glance at them.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, beautiful lady, welcome to Tilan, if possible, I sincerely invite you to dinner.”

“This…” Sharon didn’t know how to deal with it. If the other party broke in very aggressively and looked like he was going to snatch her away, it would be easier to deal with it. Just roll up your sleeves and start fighting.

Now the other party came up to apologize first, then gave her a gift, and then politely invited her to dinner. She couldn’t just go up and punch him, right?

“What should I do?” She whispered to David beside her. She thought maybe she could accept the invitation? It was just a meal anyway: “This man seems easy to talk to. Maybe we can ask him for help during dinner?”

“Don’t rush to agree. Just say a few words and see how it goes.” David coughed a few times, trying to attract the man who had his eyes locked on Sharon: “This, the Earl.”

“Oh?” Sutton-Stewart heard someone calling him. Even though he was busy looking at Sharon, this great new prey, he still spared some attention and glanced at the side with his peripheral vision. After a glance, he immediately turned his attention to David: “This is David, right? The village chief of Winter Village.” “

Yes.”

“I was too rude just now. I hope you don’t mind.” While speaking, he gently waved his hand to the servant behind him, and immediately another servant came out with a long box in his hand. He opened the lid of the box, revealing the gorgeous long sword inside: “This is a gift prepared for the village chief.”

Then, Earl Stewart’s eyes seemed to glow as he looked back and forth at Sharon and David: “May I have the honor of inviting you two to have dinner with me?”

“…”
