Seeing him shaking his head, Honasan's face suddenly turned ugly. He was about to speak, "Honasan, I don't care about this matter, so you don't have to be like this."

Livia said with a smile while shaking her head, causing Honasan's words to get stuck in his throat before they could even come out.

"Livia..." Honasan murmured, not knowing what to do for a moment. He had imagined many situations, but he had never thought of this situation.

Livia really didn't think anything of it. It might be because as a modern man, his thinking was too different from that of the people in this world. He felt that it was normal to run away when facing an irresistible monster like the Ice Giant. What's more, it was his own decision to lure the Ice Giant away. Although he almost got himself into trouble, he was safe at least.

Anyway, he felt that this matter was actually nothing. After all, they had only known each other for less than a few days and it was a pure employment relationship. It was normal for them to run away when disaster struck.

Looking at Honasan's stunned expression, Livia's thoughts turned and he thought of something.

"How about this, you just help me find the best blacksmith and tailor in Songkani.

Um……

Come and give me some good wine."

Hearing his words, Honasan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, looked at him solemnly, and nodded.

"Don't worry, I've decided to help you find the best blacksmith and tailor in Songkani. I'll also dig out my treasured wine for you later, but...

What do you want with a blacksmith and a tailor?"

Livia smiled bitterly and pointed to the simple clothes on her body and the iron sword behind her. "My sword and leather armor are damaged. Naturally, I have to find a blacksmith and tailor to repair and remake them."

Honasan looked at the clothes on Livia's body and realized, "This is the loss in employment. I will bear some of the expenses of the blacksmith and tailor."

Honasan said with a serious expression.

Is there such a good thing?

This time Livia didn't rush to refuse. She rolled her eyes and agreed ambiguously.

"Let's talk about it later. I have something else to build."

After saying what he needed to say, Honasan got down to business and took Livia to the study.

Unlike other places in the mansion, the decoration and layout of the study are very simple and plain. Apart from two white stone sculptures of knights and two large bookshelves, it is similar to an ordinary room.

"Mr. Livia, please take a seat."

Honasan took Livia into the study and gestured to the desk.

Livia glanced at Natalia, who was looking at her with a calm smile behind the desk, smiled back and sat down.

Honasan walked to the desk and stood quietly with his hand on the knight's sword at his waist.

Natalia tidied up the messy pages in her hand and put them aside, then looked at Livia opposite her with a calm expression.

"I called you here mainly to give you your reward. I wonder if you think three thousand fareons is enough..." "Ahem..." Just as Natalia was speaking, the old butler standing behind her suddenly interrupted her with a stiff face and a few dry coughs.

Natalia looked somewhat helpless after being interrupted. She took a deep breath and said again: "Three thousand farangs, the bottle of magic potion that I promised you, and the few extraordinary items just now, this is the compensation I can give you."

Three thousand farangs and potions? Hmm...

It should be pretty good.

Livia silently compared the market price with what Will had said before. According to Wilder's calculation, the reward for this kind of mission that required risking one's life and incurring a lot of losses should be around one thousand to three thousand, depending on the specific circumstances and the losses. Of course, even three thousand would not be worth it, after all, extraordinary items that were at a loss were generally difficult to buy even if one had money.

However, not only did he get three thousand farongs, but he also got four magic items and a bottle of potion whose effect was still unknown, so it was already a good deal.

Thinking of this, Livia smiled with satisfaction and nodded to Natalia opposite her.

Natalia smiled upon seeing this. She had originally planned to increase the monetary reward by one thousand to three thousand five hundred farongs, but the old butler strongly objected and interrupted her question just now.

It's not a loss actually. The Snow Night Flower alone is expected to be sold to the high-ranking officials of the kingdom for more than 7,000 Farrons, and this is still normal. If it's someone who needs the same thing as her, the starting price would be at least 10,000 Farrons, and she can also gain a considerable favor.

However, this Snow Night Flower plus other scattered alchemical herbs totaling about 600 to 700 Farrons were all for her own use. In this way, she could not take back the hired Farrons. Since the family assets were not much, the butler naturally refused to allow her to increase the salary that much.

Not to mention Livia, even the rewards of Caius, Paros and others were reduced from 2,500 farongs to 2,000 farongs. As a replacement, they received an excellent warhorse in the stable, worth between 300 and 500 farongs. Of course, Paros could not ride a horse, so he changed into a set of ordinary steel half-body heavy armor.

Since the value was even higher than that of a war horse, the old butler looked very unhappy for a moment. If it were not for the reputation and honor of his family, he would have refused it out of shame.

Thinking of this, Natalia continued: "How about I give you another war horse as a gift."

This time the old butler was completely caught off guard and had no time to interrupt or stop her. After Natalia finished speaking, he looked a little ugly and helpless. He was acting like that for the sake of the family, but the current head of the family did not know how to save money at all, which made him very worried.

What he didn't know was that Natalia planned to run for the Royal Knight after becoming a high-level extraordinary person. Once she became a Royal Knight, she would no longer have to worry about money. The rewards from the kingdom would definitely not be small, and by then she would have no shortage of money.

Moreover, according to the regulations of the kingdom, the family of the Royal Knights cannot own external assets exceeding a certain value. Now that at least half of the shops and industries owned by the family have been resold, they will naturally not be short of money.

Of course, if the old butler and Knight Honasan knew about this idea and plan now, they would probably faint from anger. What they planned to do was to develop the family in Songkani, where their ancestors had lived for generations, and become the local powerful nobles, rather than simply pursuing reputation and glory.

Livia smiled and shook his head. Natalia's words reminded him of the brown horse that Delon gave him.

"No, by the way, how is my horse now?"

He remembered that when he left, he told the butler about the brown horse in the tavern and asked someone to bring the brown horse to the mansion.

Natalia thought about it and was about to ask the butler beside her when Honasan, who was standing motionless beside the desk, suddenly smiled and said, "Lady Natalia, he really doesn't need our horses. I went to the stables and saw that his brown horse is a bit old, but it is an excellent warhorse that has actually been on the battlefield. It can't be compared to us who have only been trained but have never really been on the battlefield."
