Seeing that Anduin had received a whole table of flowers, but he didn't have any, Sean's originally sunny mood turned to gloomy and rainy.

Although I knew that he didn't receive flowers because of his high status, looking at the flowers on the whole table, I couldn't help but feel dazzling.

So Sean simply stopped looking at the table, chatted with Anduin for a few more words, and then walked towards the south of the town with his followers.

Out of sight is pure.

Windsor saw the reason why Sean was unhappy and didn't know how to comfort him. He could only pat Sean on the shoulder and said: "Be strong!"

Sean: "???"

.....

…

Sean led his entourage to the entrance of the town, and soon saw Lucio holding a long bow and scimitar and wearing hunting clothes.

Lucio was chatting with a middle-aged uncle at this time, and this uncle was Olga, the leader of the Blazing Cross Mercenary Group.

Sean looked towards Olga. Behind Olga stood more than twenty mercenaries, who had been assembled and were about to enter the Elf Forest.

…

According to the contract signed between Sean and the Blazing Cross Mercenary Group, the mercenary group does not have to pay Sean an expensive "hunting tax" when entering the Elf Forest to hunt, and all the harvest will belong to the mercenary group.

The benefit that Sean got was that the hiring fee was cheaper. For half a year of stationing, Blazing Cross only charged 1,500 gold coins for the stationing fee, which was already a very conscientious price.

If hired according to the market price, the monthly hiring fee for a black iron-level mercenary is 5-8 gold coins; the bronze-level mercenary requires 10-20 gold coins; according to the contract, the mercenary group dispatched a total of ten bronze-level mercenaries and forty.

A black iron-level mercenary needs 665 gold coins in a month, and nearly 4,000 gold coins in half a year!

Sean cannot afford such an expensive employment price.

Not only Sean couldn't afford it, but Captain Olga actually couldn't afford it either. He owed usury to Zach, the mercenary leader of the Wolf Settlement. He wanted to pay off the debt and urgently needed money, so both parties adopted this method.

The stationing agreement was signed in this way.

Of course, when the Flame Cross mercenary group arrived in Hetan Town, they did not all swarm to the Elf Forest. Instead, half of the mercenary group was left to help Anduin maintain law and order, and the other half went into the Elf Forest to hunt. This is also part of the employment contract.

Written.

...

Captain Olga's daughter Sofia also followed the team. At this time, she was holding a fragrant tulip, smelling the aroma of the tulips, with a happy but sad smile on her face.

This tulip was picked by Sophia, the protector, when the girls in the town teamed up to pick flowers outside the town yesterday.

The girls gave all the flowers to Anduin, but Sofia did not send them. Instead, she kept this flower because she seemed to smell the scent of her long-lost mother in the fragrance of this flower.

Sofia looked around the town idly while smelling the flowers.

When she saw Sean walking over, she was a little panicked for a moment.

So she quickly put the flowers in her hair and hid behind her father where Sean couldn't see her, not wanting to be discovered by Sean.

Sean did not notice Sophia, but looked at Lucio and Olga with a smile: "Lucio, I'm here. Captain Olga, are you also going to enter the Elf Forest?"

"Good morning, Your Highness Sean." Captain Olga first saluted Sean respectfully, and then replied: "That's right, and the team has been arranged and is preparing to set off."

"Then let's enter the Elf Forest together. If there are more people, there will be someone to take care of us." Sean said casually.

"no problem."

Captain Olga commanded the mercenary group to set off. Sean and Lucio also entered the middle of the mercenary group, chatting and walking towards the Elf Forest.

...

Sofia was walking at the very back of the mercenary group. As the team was marching, Sofia looked at Sean's back, her expression a little uncertain.

After the team marched for a while, Sophia gritted her teeth, plucked up the courage, walked to Sean's side, and said to Sean:

"Your Highness Sean, yesterday the girls in the town presented flowers to Lord Anduin. I was also present at that time. At that time, Lord Anduin said that you were the Holy Son of the Holy Light Church. Is this true?"

"Flowers..." Upon hearing this word, Sean was suddenly confused. He had just forgotten about it, but Sofia reminded him of it again.

However, Sean would not be bothered by such a trivial matter. He smiled and said: "Of course it is true, and this is not my claim. It was said by Bishop Benjamin of John Holy Light Church himself. If you don't believe it, you can ask him for advice."

Sean still had a very good impression of Bishop John Benjamin. He not only provided him with a lot of experience points and gave himself the very useful title of "Holy Son", he also prevented church forces from entering Hetan Town.

Where can I find such a good person?

.....

Sophia immediately felt relieved after hearing Sean's words, and asked hurriedly: "Since you are also a member of the church and a powerful 'Holy Son', do you know that my mother..."

Before Sofia could finish speaking, she was severely interrupted by Olga: "Sofia, what did you say?"

Olga also pulled Sophia behind her and said in a slight panic: "Your Highness Sean, my daughter is talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, it's okay." Sean was slightly startled, but still said with a smile.

It seems there is a story behind Olga and his daughter!

But it is a pity that although Sean is a member of the Holy Light Church system, he only knows three people in the Holy Light Church, namely Bishop Benjamin, the bishop's assistant Joshua and Sean, the leader of the Silver Hourglass Mercenary Group. It is okay if he wants to help.

There is nothing I can do to help.

...

Although Sean can't help Olga and his daughter, this does not prevent Sean from wanting to know the story behind them. Sean has even made up the plot in his mind of Olga x the Saint of the Holy Light Church.

Even the plot that follows, he has almost figured out:

Sophia was talented and intelligent, and embarked on the road to find her mother. Starting from a small city, she defeated various talented people all the way. She spent thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and finally became a terrifying and powerful warrior...

Well, I will definitely let Luo Dian publish a book when I have time!

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but become a little interested in Sophia, and started chatting with Sophia on the way to the Elf Forest.

Sofia was still very reserved at first, but seeing how "approachable" Sean was, she gradually tried to chat with Sean. However, thinking of her father's warning, Sophia did not mention her mother's matter to Sean again.

…

Everyone present was blessed with fighting spirit or magic and moved very fast.

Shortly after entering the Elf Forest, Sean and Lucio continued to wander outside the Elf Forest, while Olga led the team into the ten-kilometer circle of the Elf Forest.
