"Why are you here? I remember you said last time that you were going to continue your bounty hunter mission." Sean remembered that the last time he saw the female thief, she had invited him to join a team mission.
It's just that he didn't agree at that time, and he was just trying to satisfy his desire to be a mercenary. There was no reason for him to give up his noble status and become a mercenary... Besides, the situation at that time was special. If he left by disguising himself as a mercenary, he could avoid the intelligence network of the prince or the grand duke.
"I saw your portrait in the city, so I came here to confirm it. I didn't expect that you are really the Earl of Oro City!"
"Now that you've seen it, do you want to stay for dinner?" Sean said to the other person.
Actually, I don't have a good relationship with this female thief in front of me. If I had to force it, it might even be a bit bad. When we first met, we bumped into each other on the street. She was trying to prevent the stolen items from being taken back, or maybe she actually dropped them and didn't have the chance to pick them up because she was being chased...
That night he tried to find the bounty hunter's medal he wanted to get back, but failed.
The relationship was always or... until the Tacoma City incident when they met, it was the female thief who noticed that Frelia and I were walking very close and then noticed me.
However, he had returned the Bounty Hunter Medal to her, and he had saved her life, so if you think about it, she might still owe him something. Sean noticed that the other person's favorability had changed. Although it was no longer there, if he kept this favorability at home, he might steal something and run away again.
The health volume is displayed as, I don’t remember exactly what it was last time, but at this level it is indeed not high, no wonder he was caught by the guards outside!
"You're treating me?" The female thief rolled her eyes curiously.
"I wouldn't meet an old friend so badly as not to invite him in for a chat." Although Sean had just finished his meal, he still had time for a sip of hot tea. Judging from the fact that he seemed to be in a hurry to eat, he could at least ask the servants to prepare some.
"Are we old friends?" He glanced at the other person.
"Not really." Sean said.
The female thief didn't seem to care and continued to follow him towards the restaurant.
Along the way, many servants were looking at him, and there were many more who just didn't dare to say it in front of him. Sean also prepared breakfast for them at the dining table.
This is really well-timed, neither too early nor too late, just right for dinner.
Sean didn't know much about the female thief. At first, he had the impression that she was a thief because Frelia mentioned her. However, her tracking skills and ability to identify people were good. It seemed that she had taken the initiative to find him both times.
Looking at the way he wolfed down his food, he realized that he couldn't find food like the Earl's Mansion outside...
"Your name is Kayla, right?"
After recalling for a long time, Sean finally found the name in his memory.
"Hmm? Um~ yes, you still remember it." He said this while pointing a piece of meat at himself, totally unpresentable.
But the other party was a female thief, so she didn't have to pay attention to her image. Maybe she was used to this kind of life outside. She ate while looking at the things in the room.
"Let me make it clear first. I don't have anything you want to steal here. Even if you take anything, it's worthless... I asked you to come in because I have a job I want to discuss with you. Instead of constantly stealing and doing missions, why not consider my offer?"
Kayla suddenly stopped eating...
When he turned to look at Sean, there was a visible feeling in his eyes.
"Don't be nervous. Although my guards are of higher rank than you, they won't attack you without my order. I don't know how you ended up in Oro City, but it must be related to the war in the north. There are refugees and bandits everywhere. I guess life there isn't easy either."
Looking at the way the other person ate, Sean guessed that this guy probably hadn't eaten meat properly in the past few days.
"Then what are you going to do?!!"
"Even if you have the help of those witches, I can definitely leave if I want to." As he said this, he was about to stand up, but Sean gestured for him to sit down.
"Don't be so anxious. I wouldn't bring you in even if I wanted to send someone to arrest you."
Slowly take off your white gloves...
This female thief is really bold. Maybe it's because I stole her things last time that she has set her sights on me. She wants to cause trouble in the Earl's Mansion. Unfortunately, Ascalante and the others will not let her in easily.
"I remember you invited me to do a mission together before and split the reward in half, right?"
"At that time, I had no idea you were rich. If I had known you were a noble, I would have definitely asked you for money directly."
"Hehe~ Now's a good opportunity. You should have heard about the recent border war. I can't withdraw people for the time being because I have to deal with post-war issues, but I'm not at ease leaving this matter to other mercenaries." Sean said.
Kayla hesitated and then asked.
"Tell me what's going on first, and then I'll think about it."
"It's not difficult. It's just like the Mercenary Guild. You won't forget what happened to us in Tacoma City. The Old God's followers almost killed us all. Fortunately, something unexpected happened and we barely survived. However, some important things are missing in that city... I need you to help me find the whereabouts of a book and a strange statue in Adak."
What Sean was talking about was the whereabouts of the Book of the Dead and the unknown statue.
