Chapter 195 Cold Jade

The next day, after Crown came to the forging workshop to hold the daily meeting, he ran to the archbishop's office.

"Archbishop, I received a gift last night. Someone gave me a house."

He recounted the whole story in detail and waited for the archbishop's response.

Flanders nodded nonchalantly and said:

“There is nothing wrong with what you did. You will have many opportunities to interact with high-level officials from other forces in the future. The church will not interfere with normal interactions.

But there is one thing you must remember, you are the church's flame fighter, one of the church's most powerful guards, do not do anything that harms the church's interests, or I will not forgive you easily."

It is inevitable that there will be personal friendships between people in the church and people from other non-hostile forces.

"I swear to be the most loyal servant of the Lord of Fire," Klauen stood up straight and shouted a slogan.

Flanders waved his hands and scolded with a smile:

"I hate hearing these empty slogans, prove your loyalty with your actions.

There are already fishmen coming to the city along the Rhine. If the battle in Lorente Town does not go well, we must send more troops to join the battle. We must cherish the time now."

The smile on Clown's face faded, and his expression became more serious: "A vanguard led by twelve third-level transcendents is not sure of defeating the enemy?"

In his opinion, the murlocs were just trash soldiers, and such an elite force should be able to end the battle as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

If we get into a tug-of-war, we must re-evaluate the evil god's abilities.

"That depends on how much the evil god's minions value Lorente Town."

Flanders stared out the window and continued:

"Londo's intelligence said that they had discovered traces of the Deep Ones, the followers of the evil god Dagon and Hydra.

These two evil gods are servants of another powerful evil god. The evil god that humans deal with the most is this powerful evil god of the sea.

I am not in a position to reveal the name of the evil god. The spiritual concentration in this world is constantly increasing. I wonder how much consciousness this evil god has revived.

Maybe saying his name would attract the attention of the evil spirit.

If this evil god is fully revived, even just saying or hearing their name will cause spiritual pollution. "

. . . .

Crown returned to the forging workshop from the Archbishop's room and practiced the Silver Fox Breathing Method step by step.

The affairs of the evil god were too far away for him, and knowing too much would make him feel less safe.

Now, he just needs to improve himself step by step, because if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up.

When the ability is improved to a certain level, one should be able to be fearless of evil gods, or at least have the ability to protect oneself.

At this stage, he just needs to stay safely on the big ship of the church.

When he got off work in the afternoon, he summoned the golden wall. Every time he saw his proficiency increase, he would feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Delayed gratification is anti-human. Instant satisfaction after hard work can provide people with more motivation.

This kind of motivation is short-lived, but if it can be provided continuously, everyone can burst out with power far beyond imagination.

[Silver Fox Breathing Method: 2500/5000; Level 2]

What an auspicious number! It has one more zero than 250.

With a silent grin, Crown said hello to the two senior blacksmiths, walked onto the steam elevator and walked out of the church.

The moment he walked out of the church, it was time to get off work; he never left early.

Clown looked around as usual and saw a black carriage parked not far from the door, with two tall and strong black horses driving it.

One horse had an oval white mark on its forehead, while the other had a crescent-shaped white mark on its forehead.

Del stood beside the carriage and waved over here. Behind him was a middle-aged man with an honest face and a gray cowboy hat, and a young woman with blond hair in a ponytail. The woman had a white leather bag on her wrist.

He walked over to the carriage and said with a gentle smile, "It looks like you have already arranged everything there."

"Yes, I also changed all the locks. The groom and the cook were the best ones recommended by the dental office. There is no suitable candidate for housekeeper at the moment."

"Sir," the man in the gray cowboy hat took off his hat and put it on his chest, "I am the groom Brown Buffett. Your two precious Andalusian horses will definitely receive the best care."

"Thank you for your hard work," Crown nodded with a smile. Raising horses is not an easy task.

The graceful woman stepped forward and knelt down to salute:

"Sir, please allow me to introduce myself, Melissa Lazio, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Crown said nothing, but turned his gaze to Del, silently asking: "What's going on?"

"Miss Melissa showed up at the door of the mansion this afternoon. She insisted on meeting you. She is also an excellent knight transcendent."

The woman raised her chin slightly and looked up at Clown: "Sir, I feel that I will be able to become a second-level knight in a short time."

"I am so glad that you have a bright future. But what does this have to do with me, beautiful lady? Tell me why you are here."

Crown smiled, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Melissa bowed and said, “Sir, my purpose is very simple, I just want to find a job here.

I heard that you are still short of a housekeeper, and I think I can do the job.

I have learned all kinds of etiquette since I was young, and I am also familiar with the style of the nobility. At the same time, I am also a knight with great potential, and I can also serve as your personal guard. You only need to pay the normal salary of a senior butler. "

The Lazio family is a landless noble family. Melissa has no brothers or sisters. Her mother died unexpectedly two years ago, and after her father passed away, she is the only one left in the entire family.

The relationships her father had during his lifetime quickly withered, and she soon experienced the fickleness of human nature. The frame-up by outsiders and the failure to successfully sell her expensive mansion despite repeated price cuts made her face the reality.

The house was sold quickly two days ago, which made her smell a hint of hope.

This morning, she saw Del directing the servants to work in the mansion, and she quickly found her friends in the church to inquire about the situation.

She knew a friend of a friend, a pastor named Abel McGuire.

Melissa did not come directly to Crown, but kept begging Del with tears in her eyes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Things went smoothly afterwards, and Del agreed to bring her in for a meeting.

"You have some troubles, and I hate troubles," said Crown in a cold tone that seemed to keep people at a distance.

The other party clearly came to him to seek asylum, so why should he help? Is it because of his sense of justice? It's not that he can't help, if the other party is willing to pay more, that's another matter.

"It's a bit troublesome for a weak girl like me, but it's nothing for you, my Lord."

Clown did not respond directly. He looked at the other person calmly. After a few seconds, he said calmly, "I have something else to do. Excuse me. Del, let's go."

“Sir,” Melissa took out a white stone as big as a brick from her bag and handed it over.

"I accidentally learned that Mr. Del was looking to buy this kind of stone. I wonder if it is still needed now."

She liked this stone very much. It felt slightly cool to the touch and had a calming effect when placed next to her pillow.

This kind of stone was obtained by her father by accident. It is very rare but worthless. She kept it because she accidentally discovered that the stone has a calming effect.

In her opinion, this kind of stone can only be used for playing, so she didn't take it out immediately.

Since it was Del who published the information in the newspaper, it is very likely that the person who really needed it was the new bishop of the church.

This was her last resort, but she had actually given up hope of seeking shelter and only wanted to do a small favor.

Cold jade? Crown stepped forward, caught the white jade, and held it up to the sunlight.

Under the light, the jade was crystal clear with only a few impurities. It was large enough and he expected to be able to cut it into two or three jade talismans.

If there was enough moonlight, he could start refining the Taiyin Thunder Talisman now.

Holding the jade in his hand, Crown smiled kindly at the woman and said, "Get in the car."

After saying that, he was the first to enter the carriage.

When Melissa heard his words, she was stunned and felt as if the world was unreal.

So simple, just a stone? Del turned around and looked at Melissa, who looked like a goose, and couldn't help but laugh: "What are you thinking about? Get in the car!"

The three of them got on the carriage, Brown raised his whip and drove steadily forward.

Clown said, "Melissa, I want to learn more about your situation."

The woman cleared her throat and told her story one by one.

Her account was similar to Edwin's. The dude who was making things difficult for her was a first-level transcendent named Newt Morris.

Crown thought about it and found that this surname did not belong to any third-level extraordinary person in Rhine City.

This Newt must be an illegitimate child raised outside, otherwise it would be meaningless for Edwin not to reveal who is behind him.

"Suddenly changing from a noble lady to a maid and housekeeper, can you adapt to this gap? Can you really do a good job as a housekeeper? I doubt it."

Crowne raised a very realistic question and said, "I can give you some money to buy the jade, and I can also help you convey your wish not to be harassed again."

Melissa shook her head desperately and explained, "Sir, I am also a Knight Beyonder. The training is much harder than being a maid. I will definitely be able to do this job."

Although she has now inherited a baron title, unlike those old-line nobles who cling to the so-called noble honor, she knows clearly that sometimes maintaining a ridiculous face is meaningless and a burden.

The world is constantly changing and becoming more and more dangerous. Having the opportunity to rely on a strong person is a rare opportunity, and she will seize this opportunity firmly.

She said that she would soon become a second-level knight not because she was exaggerating, but because she truly felt the threshold of breakthrough.

Maybe it will take a long time for her to break through, but if she becomes a second-level transcendent, will she still be just a maid and housekeeper?

Of course not!
