63, Sophia
Paladin Sean and mercenary goddess Lilith noticed Sean's gaze, but they did not come to Sean's side. They just saluted from a distance and continued to do their own things.
Sean smiled at the two of them and stopped caring. If his guess was correct, these two people should have been sent by the church and the Earl of River to find the necromancer.
Since they are alienated from Sean, Sean will naturally not shamelessly get close to them.
So Sean looked at Captain Olga: "Did anyone in the mercenary group or the residents of Hetan Town get hurt on the way here?"
"No one was injured, Your Highness Sean." Olga replied, "None of the residents of Hetan Town were harmed by the wild beasts, and the 11 Bronze-level and 40 Black-Iron-level members of the regiment were also intact."
"Oh? There's an extra bronze-level warrior here?"
Sean remembered that the employment contract stated that there were 10 bronze-level warriors and 40 black iron-level warriors. Now not only was the silver-level Olga here, but there was also one more bronze-level warrior.
"That's right, His Highness Sean, the extra bronze-level warrior is my daughter Sophia." After saying that, Olga turned to the back and shouted loudly: "Sofia, come here and salute His Highness Sean!"
"Okay, Dad!" A clear girl's voice sounded from the carriage behind, and a beautiful girl aged fourteen or fifteen came behind Olga with cheerful steps.
This girl is Olga's daughter - Sofia.
Sofia curiously looked at the group of people in front of her. There were mature and calm warriors like her father, a weird uncle wearing a dark brown robe, and the young and energetic Lucio.
But the moment Sophia's eyes moved to Sean, she seemed to see a ray of light.
This light is not the scorching summer sun that burns the skin, nor is it the afterglow of winter that is better than nothing, but the bright spring light with grass growing, orioles flying, and flowers blooming.
Delicate face and tall figure.
The aristocratic hunting uniform he wore not only did not obscure his dignity, but instead added a touch of roughness and heroic temperament to him.
What a perfect man!
Sophia felt her heart thump, as if the ice was being broken and melted.
...
Olga saw her daughter coming to her side and smiled at Sean: "Your Highness Sean, she is my daughter Sophia."
"Hello, Sophia!" Sean walked to Sophia's side and stretched out his hand to Sophia.
"Hello! His Highness Xiao... Sean, I... I..."
Sofia originally wanted to shake hands with Sean, but she felt that her palms were all sweaty, so she took her hand back and wiped it on the corner of her clothes, feeling a little at a loss for the moment.
Seeing that Sophia didn't reach out, Sean raised his right hand, rubbed Sophia's head, and said to Olga at the same time:
"What a lovely little girl! You are definitely lucky to have such a beautiful daughter!"
"Your Majesty Sean, you are very grateful." Olga said happily.
"Let's get down to business! Olga, Henry, this is my friend Anduin in the royal capital. He will be the consul of Riverbank Town from now on. Please get to know each other."
Sean turned sideways and pulled Anduin, who was standing behind him and staring at Hetan Town thinking about construction issues, in front of him.
"Your Excellency Anduin, nice to meet you!" Olga and butler Henry saluted Anduin one after another.
"Hello! Olga, Henry." Anduin looked at the two people in front of him.
Sean also said to Olga and Henry: "From now on, whether I am in the territory or not, what Anduin says represents my words!
Anduin, you have to worry more about the territory from now on!"
"No problem, Lord." Anduin replied confidently.
After all, such a huge Kingdom of Stormwind has been managed, and now it is just a town of a thousand people, which puts no pressure on Anduin at all.
Sean looked at the residents of Hetan Town who had arrived in front of him, and said to Anduin:
"Anduin, go and settle the residents of Riverbank Town and the three hundred slaves. The settlement of the remaining mercenary group and more than twenty children (those who came out of the slums) will be left to me and Henry.
"
"As you command!" Anduin answered and went to resettle the residents and slaves of Hetan Town.
"Captain Olga." Sean turned to look at Olga: "I have one more thing to ask of you, Blazing Cross."
"Your Highness Sean, what else do you want?" Olga asked respectfully.
"Your mercenary group will definitely go deep into the Elf Forest during this period, right?" Sean asked.
The employment contract signed by Butler Henry and the Flame Cross Mercenary Group is only a stationing contract, not a buyout contract, and does not restrict where they go.
During this period of time, the Flame Cross Mercenary Group can enter the Elf Forest to hunt at will, and all profits will belong to the Mercenary Group.
Of course, if Hetan Town encounters an enemy or wild beast attack, the Flame Cross Mercenary Group will still have to come forward to defend it.
"Yes, we will enter the Elf Forest to hunt during this period. After all, the contract allows it." Olga said cautiously.
Sean thought for a moment and said: "Then after you enter the Elf Forest, pay attention to what minerals, special stones, etc. are there in the Elf Forest. I will give you a detailed list later. I will give you accurate information.
I’ll reward you with gold coins.”
The Forest of Elves is just the name of an area. The east coast of the Forest of Elves is a plateau and a desert. This geographical condition makes it easy for coal and oil to appear.
Sean is very keen on these two things, but now Sean has no ability to look for them, so he can only let Olga do it for him first.
"No problem, I will definitely pay attention." Olga promised.
"Henry." Sean turned back to look at his butler, "I'll leave the placement of the mercenary group to you. There are a lot of empty houses in the town. Find some that are connected together and allocate them to them. I'll go somewhere else.
change."
"No problem, Your Highness Sean!" Butler Henry replied immediately.
...
After explaining the butler Henry, Sean left.
After Sean left, Captain Olga looked back at her daughter and said, "Sofia, I am very disappointed in you. Your performance today was really terrible."
"It's my fault, Dad." Sofia blushed and lowered her head, and at the same time couldn't help but glance in the direction where Sean was walking away.
"When the housing issue is settled, I will teach you the etiquette when dealing with nobles. Some nobles are very narrow-minded and may deliberately make things difficult for you because of your disrespect. Do you understand?" Olga scolded in a low voice.
"I understand, Dad." Sofia replied.
At the same time, Sofia also thought in her heart: "If it is His Highness Sean, he will definitely not embarrass me."
