"So what exactly am I supposed to do?"
This sentence obviously resonated with the other party. As one of the parties involved in the Tacoma Old Town incident, Kayla must have been very curious about what happened that day!
Especially when approaching the center of the city, the people in the entire area were once thrown into chaos... Sean had seen that situation with his own eyes. They just stared blankly in the same direction and spoke nonsense. Those with a slightly higher level might still have some consciousness, but their spirits were as excited as if they were drunk.
I guess only Keira herself knows how she feels.
"If it's too dangerous, I won't agree to it no matter how much money you offer me."
"The danger depends on how curious you are. You've participated in the rescue mission in Old Tacoma before, so you must be aware of the strange things that happened there... You just need to help me find out about those two things, and don't try to steal them. You've seen the mysterious power of the ancient gods' believers! That thing is not something that outsiders like us can touch casually." Sean deliberately frightened the other party.
Since becoming the Earl, he has seen all kinds of people. Judging from Sean's impression of the female thief in front of him, she should be just an ordinary mercenary, because her style of doing things and eating habits are very similar to those of a mercenary.
I just don't know why she later became more interested in being a thief...
However, it doesn’t matter who the other party is, as long as there is a vested interest between the two parties, they can be used.
"that's all?"
"that's all."
It sounds simple enough.
"For a mission like this, you're willing to pay ten times the price of the mercenary group?"
"The money I give you is just for your expenses as you may be away from home for a long time. Adak is not the Basaran Empire. There are many things you need to pay attention to." Sean said.
To put it bluntly, it's just paying someone to station an intelligence spy abroad. As for whether she's willing...
Sean felt that someone who had been away from home for a long time would not refuse such a good thing.
Keira is different from anyone in Vanir's four-man team. She is younger. The four mercenaries are just too lazy and have fallen in love with the environment of Oro City after working there for so long. But Keira in front of him is alone.
These young people all dream of traveling around the world. If I give her some extra money, she will not suggest that working is traveling!
really……
Sean saw a series of states of , and above the other person's head.
This emotional change is quite dramatic!
"So what do I need to pay attention to?"
"That's all for now... I need you to find those two items and then send a message to me via our tamed carrier eagle. I'll give you more clues later. Can you do that?"
Looking at the female thief in front of him, he had to think about it.
"That'll take some time for me to think about."
"You'd better give me your approval in the next two days, otherwise I will let someone else take charge."
"Wait... Then I'll go."
As soon as I said this, the other party immediately changed his words.
"But I want to ask you, Earl Sean, how much money can I get?"
"Anyway, it's much more than what you would get by stealing two things. By the way, I want to remind you that when you get over there, it's a different country. You'd better curb your little hobbies. Otherwise, if you get caught by the people over there, I won't be able to rescue you." Sean said.
"I don't specialize in this, unless I have no money..."
"No unless, this matter is very important. If you are not competent, I will replace you with someone else immediately."
Perhaps frightened by her own aura, Kaila quickly nodded in assurance.
"Okay then. I'll be careful over there."
"That's best!"
Finally, the deal was settled and only then did he pick up the teacup from the table.
"I don't really like drinking alone at home, so I'll have tea instead... Happy working together!"
“Happy cooperation~”
Kayla responded in kind.
"So when do I leave?"
"The trade route to the Adak region is now blocked. My soldiers are still in the clear, and it is estimated that it will be impossible to open it up for a while. You can take the airship from Oro City to the southern country of Mersin, and then go around from there to the Adak region... I will pay for the expenses, but you have to learn how to master the use of the carrier eagle in the next few days." Sean ordered.
Then let Ascalante take the other party to report to the garrison, train for a few days and then set off.
………………
After sending Kayla away, Ascalante walked up to him curiously.
"Sir, who is this person?"
"Who do you think she is?" Sean asked back.
After thinking for a moment, Ascalante said cautiously...
"I see she's separated from the mercenaries."
"Probably more like a thief."
Looking at each other, he smiled.
"She's a thief. I met her when Frelia Iguel and I went to Lietis together. We had a minor conflict at the time... She originally wanted to trick us into coming here and steal something, but I gave her another option."
"Why should you stay, my lord? She is already used to being a thief. Even if you give her a job, she might go back to her old ways after a while." As an imperial soldier, Ascalante certainly knows thieves well.
"But she's got a talent for observation and tracking, and I don't think she'll ever want to be a burglar."
It's understandable that it's hard to change one's nature, but I met Kayla when I was in the old city of Tacoma. She was in a mercenary group and she even invited me to join the mission when the problem was finally solved.
This shows that the other party is not someone who is determined to be a thief. If it weren't for this fact, Sean would not hire her even if she was very talented.
"Don't worry, if she just scams money once and leaves, we will catch her."
She didn't notice any lying or other related behavior during the conversation with the other party, which meant that Kayla was still willing to take the job.
Being able to travel to other countries for work is a great job for many people...
Sean rubbed his head.
People were finally sent to deal with the remaining issues in Tacoma, and what remained was the problem of the Northern War.
As the days go by, spring is almost here. If the front line remains deadlocked, spring will probably cause a new round of problems. For Oro City, the amount of spring planting this year may have to be increased.
Walking into the hall outside the study, Sean carefully studied the locations on the sand table and the map...which place would be better for cultivation.
It can not only supplement the food problem in Oro City, but also provide it to the front line when necessary.
At this moment, Sean suddenly remembered the fruit tree seedling he had tried to plant back in Koga City...wouldn't it be possible to do it with magic?!
