Chapter 36: I always feel that charm value is useless
Unfortunately, until the banquet was about to end, few of these girls could say a complete sentence under the gaze of Joshua. When they talked, most of them stuttered and said their names, and then they gave a hasty salute and ran aside, and gradually stopped trembling under the comfort of their female companions.
One of them finally gave a complete self-introduction. The soldier nodded in appreciation and was about to respond one or two times when he saw the other party simply step back three steps and almost fell...
As for?!
In fact, these girls are not delicate in appearance and temperament, and they are even quite heroic. After all, they are all from northern regions, and their living environment is not as gentle as the south of the empire. They are born to not cultivate such delicate young ladies.
But what does Joshua's intimidation Eighteen mean? It's without saying a word. Just a cold snorkeling can scare the wolves away, and unconsciously dispel the pressure of wild beasts. With just two more points, he can get the supernatural halo of fear like the middle and high-level abyss demon.
Even if you try your best to restrain yourself, it is still a bit exciting for these girls who have never seen blood.
In general, in addition to these small episodes, the banquet went smoothly. Joshua and the local leaders of the chamber of commerce in Moldavia got to know each other and probably set the tone of future trade - unlike their own women, they were well-informed and had more places to go, and some of them even made deals with Bailongfeng. Although the intimidation of the warriors was terrible, they could not be as good as Longwei.
Although these merchants are not nobles, they are far more important than ordinary little nobles. They are an existence that cannot be ignored in a territory. As Chris, who has already run back to the south of the empire, said, the cold weather is in groups of monsters, which are very closed. Before the Imperial Mage Group reduces the cost of the element engine of the [Wind Whirlpool] and allows floating boats to be popularized, these chambers of commerce are equivalent to the arteries of communication between the territory and the outside world.
Time flowed through communication and raising the glass. When the other guests were almost gone, Joshua put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled at Alfonso, who was already drunk next to him, "Why, you're going to get drunk?"
The colder the place, the stronger the wine will be. Moldavia is no exception. The local wineries and dwarves produce a little more ingredients and can be used as a combustion aid. Even Alfonso, a Northland merchant who has advanced to black iron, will not be able to hold on if he drinks a few more glasses.
“A little bit, but not important.”
Although his face was a little red, the middle-aged businessman's eyes were still clear. Without Joshua's words, he knew the other party's intention: "Sir, do you have something to tell me? Wait a moment, and I will find a quiet place immediately."
"So that's the case."
Seeing that the other party reacted so quickly, he didn't have to speak by himself, Joshua nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then lead the way."
Just as Joshua and Alfonso walked towards the study, Firefly, who was left in Beppu in the west of the city, was standing on the bench next to the yard outside the room, staring at the frozen pool water in front of him.
The sky was approaching evening, and the dim sunset shone on the snow-covered city. The cold wind blew, and there was no leaf. The old tree creaked, shook a little, and some snow on the branches fell.
I didn't care about the cold air. After staring at it for a while, Firefly squatted down and touched the ice condensed in the artificial pool in front of her with her slender fingers, sighing: "It's so hard, cool... Is this ice? It feels very similar to glass."
Although it was forged in the north, she stayed in the blade sealing room underground in the church and only recently came out. The silver-haired magic machine actually had no chance to touch things like ice and snow. She stood up and walked to the tree, trying to break a falling ice thorn, but she was not tall enough and didn't touch it all at once, which was extremely embarrassing.
However, no matter how petite the human form of fireflies looks, they have a silver strength base after all. After a little jump, she was slightly embarrassed and annoyed and took down the entire branch.
Putting the ice thorn in her hand, the silver-haired divine machine looked patiently at the transparent ice cube releasing the chill in her hands, and then slowly melted due to body temperature, and finally turned into a pool of clear water.
"As recorded in the core of memory, water can actually become so hard because of the low temperature."
Once again, the correctness of the recorded information in the soul was confirmed. Firefly looked very excited, and then took out a small notebook and pen from somewhere and wrote it neatly: "This world is really interesting."
Joshua left at noon and went to the banquet. The unbound Miss Shenji also started her own test and recording journey from noon. Starting from the study where the warriors often stayed, Ying turned over the entire room. With her vigorous curiosity, she had basically touched everything once. Even with the help of other maids in the other courtyard, the lady tried to make a dish with the memory materials in her soul.
According to these maids who have been recruited to clean and cook in recent days, Firefly's cooking skills are pretty good, and the dish tastes very good, but the skills are still not very skilled and need more practice.
The sunset gradually sets and the surrounding light becomes dim.
Suddenly, the firefly, who was playing with snow happily, stood up, and her slightly innocent smile quickly turned into indifference and alertness. She narrowed her eyes and looked vigilantly to the outside of the yard. In the dim after light in the evening, a faint light seemed to light up in the green eyes like fireflies.
"This is the Radcliffe's residence. Please show your figure when visiting."
The elegant girlish voice line echoed in the cold air, and the silver-haired god kid frowned and stared at the corner of the street: "Don't hide, I've found you."
And after a moment, a man wearing a red-edged and black-bottomed coat appeared there.
"Don't be nervous, little girl, I'm not staying here deliberately."
This is a middle-aged man who doesn't look young. He has a vicissitudes of life and a calm expression. He doesn't seem to be surprised by the discovery of this. He shrugged and said, "I'm just waiting for your master to come back here. Do you know when he will come back?"
"Who are you?"
The silver-haired divine machine didn't care about his explanation and did not intend to answer the question. She frowned and asked seriously: "If there is no hostile guest, then report the name and origin. This is the most basic etiquette."
"...At such a young age, he has a silver rank, which is indeed good... Joshua has a good subordinate."
He whispered to himself, and the middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, "Okay, my name is Monster, so I should be considered an acquaintance of his in the Black Crow Legion, right?"
“…”
Without replying, Ying looked at the middle-aged man in front of her vigilantly, as if she wanted to tell whether this was true or false from his expression. But after all, she did not have the experience of Joshua, and at most she could see that the other party's strength was at the advanced level of Silver, and her expression was very calm.
"My master will be back soon."
Ying said coldly, and she remained alert: "Sir, you have been waiting for so long before, so you must not mind continuing to wait, right?"
"Of course, lovely lady."
Facing a girl who looks only fourteen or fifteen years old and as old as her daughter, even if her attitude is so cold, it is difficult to be really angry even with the temper of this middle-aged man. He shrugged and said, "That's what I planned."
After saying that, he simply turned around and returned to the corner of the street where he was originally staying.
