Seeing the two people who had set their eyes on the dining table as soon as they walked in, Clemont smiled and asked them to sit down.
"Thank you both, I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. I hope it will suit your taste!"
Hearing the baron's polite words, the two of them hurriedly returned the favor. As the eldest brother, Abel said with a grateful face: "Thank you, your Excellency, Baron. It is our honor to serve you!"
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite. Come to my Clermont Territory and you can treat this place as your home."
As Clemont said this, he picked up a white tablecloth and put it on his collar.
Then he raised his head and asked in a questioning tone: "I heard that you two received less commission?"
Hearing this sudden change of tone, the two brothers were a little confused. After looking at each other, Abel said anxiously:
"That's right, Your Excellency Baron, the two of us came out of the slums, so we know what winter means to ordinary people, and we have also heard about the situation in Clermont Territory. This heavy snow will probably make many people suffer from the cold.
, so I agreed to come.
Although we have received less commission, we will definitely do our best, please rest assured, Your Excellency, Baron!"
Seeing the two people acting cautiously, Clemont shook his head helplessly.
I just asked myself why there was such a big reaction!
"Ahem, I'm not afraid that you won't try your best. What I want to say is that as magicians, your frequent spell casting will definitely consume a lot of magic power, right?"
Although they didn't know what the baron in front of them was going to say, the two of them nodded.
"That's right! Since it consumes a lot of magic power, it must be replenished with magic core, right?"
The two nodded again.
"So, if the magic core is so expensive, how can a commission of one hundred for each of you be enough?"
The two wanted to nod again, but suddenly reacted.
"Your Excellency Baron, the commission of one hundred gold coins each of us is used to buy magic cores. We have calculated that a third-level magic core of one hundred gold coins is enough for us to use for several days! No need..."
"That's not okay!"
Clemont interrupted them and then continued:
"Since you are working for me, how can you not get paid? And you also said that you are magicians who came out of the slums. You also know what it feels like to have no money! How can I bear to let you work for me for nothing?"
Looking at the baron who looked sad, as if he was touched by them, mist gradually rose in their eyes.
"Your Excellency Baron, you are such a good lord..."
Gordon regretted his previous thoughts at this time. How could he speculate on this wise lord like that!
"Okay, it's decided. I will pay for all the magic cores you consume while working. In addition, I will give each of you a commission of one hundred!"
Hearing this, the two wanted to say something else, but were stopped the next moment by Clemont's serious gaze.
"Okay! Then do what the Baron wants!"
After seeing the compromise between the two, Clement put on a smile, pointed to the exquisite food on the table and said: "Hahaha, this is the right thing! Come, come, eat, eat, this is unique to us in Clermont.
Beggar’s chicken, try it!”
Seeing this, the two of them stopped being polite, picked up the knife and fork and reached towards the dining table.
Two hours later, looking at the two people being sent away by Barry, the corners of Clemont's mouth curled up slightly.
Now that you are here, stay and work for me!
Generous remuneration, delicious food, and treatment like home, this should be better than staying in a shabby place like the Magic Guild!
"Well... just to be on the safe side, I have to find an opportunity tomorrow to let them 'accidentally see' the Encyclopedia of Magic that Mariana gave me. That way it should be foolproof!"
The introduction of magicians was already in Clement's plan, but after seeing the two of them, Clement decided to keep them. After all, these days, they are neither arrogant nor impetuous, down-to-earth, hard-working and of good character.
It's hard to find an upright magician.
After returning to the study to deal with today's affairs, Clemont was ready to go back to his room to practice fighting spirit.
But the moment he opened the door, a familiar scene appeared again.
"Um...what are you doing?"
Staring at Auriel with red cheeks in front of him, Clemont felt that his head was a little big.
"Master, Aunt Martha said it's my turn to serve you tonight!"
I don't know what she thought of, but as she spoke, Oriel's cheeks became more rosy and attractive.
"What else did Martha tell you?"
"Aunt Martha said that we are the master's personal maids, so we must take care of every aspect, no matter..."
Listening to such explicit words, Clemont suppressed the impulse in his heart and said softly: "I understand your intentions, but I have my principles. I will not touch you until I achieve your wishes.
Besides, I wasn’t prepared myself!…”
Looking at the master's serious and handsome face, Oriel was stunned unconsciously.
'What my sister said is indeed true, the master is really a unique person!'
"Auriel! Auriel!"
Clemont waved his hand and looked at the dazed Auriel, lost in thought.
'It seems that this matter has to be solved from the source. It would be bad if these three little girls were taught bad things by Martha!'
With this in mind, Clemont picked up Auriel and found Martha who was teaching Avella and Shirley. To his surprise, little Mandy was also there. No wonder he hadn't seen her in the past two nights.
But why are you, a goblin, joining in the fun? The more Clemont thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Lord, what's the matter with you? Or is this little girl Auriel not serving you well?"
Although I don’t know why the lord suddenly came over, Martha is not stupid.
"Nothing, just come to my study!"
Letting go of Auriel's hand, Clemont took Mandy from Avella's hand, then turned and walked towards the study.
"Why are you still fooling around? You can't understand what they are saying!"
In the corridor, Clemont poked Mandy on the forehead angrily.
"Ah! Clemont, it's not Mandy who wants to stay with them! It's them who don't let me come to you! I haven't slept well these days!"
Looking at the aggrieved Mandy, Clemont smiled and put her on his shoulders.
Not long after returning to the study, Martha walked in with an anxious look on her face.
"Lord, I...did I do anything wrong?"
Clemont smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Martha, I'm very grateful for your kindness, but Avila and the others are a little special. Don't teach them those things again!"
It turned out to be just this!
Martha couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the lord had discovered that she had brought the leftover food home!
"Also, when you cook in the future, cook more and you can take it home to feed the children. Now we are not short of that little money!"
Clemont naturally saw Martha's little actions, but he didn't say anything. For a mother who worked hard to raise three children, such trivial things were nothing.
