Chapter 155 Request (I’m going to enjoy the ancient OL starting today)
Count Hasha is in his early forties and is an ordinary man in his early forties. But to be honest, looking at his Mediterranean hairstyle and his melancholy face, if Ann hadn''t introduced it in advance, Duanmu Huai would even suspect that he was in his fifties and sixties...
Well, all the people who deal with numbers seem to look old? At least looking at his appearance, he can see that he is working hard and devoted himself to his life until he dies. Maybe his suicide note is written at home, and he is always waiting to die of overwork... It is not impossible.
After all, I heard that he is the Minister of Finance or the Minister? Forget it, it doesn''t matter.
"I really thank you for your help in the past, especially His Highness the Princess and the Knights... If you weren''t all the wise eyes of all, I''m afraid the little girl would have already..."
Speaking of this, Count Hasha was also crying. Well...it''s understandable if you say it. After all, there are many scenes in urban emotional dramas where the heroine looks down on or bullies after being dismissed from the engagement. Although Duanmu Huai is not in the aristocratic circle, it can be imagined.
"Please don''t do this, Ha Xiaqing, we just did what we should do."
An also hurriedly answered, signaling the count not to care so much. After obtaining the princess'' permission, Earl Hasha stood up, but he still lowered his head, looking ashamed. Then he expressed his gratitude to everyone again, and after a while, Earl Hasha mustered up the courage to make his request.
"That... Actually, the old minister has a heartless request."
"Huh? What''s the matter?"
"Actually... it''s about the little girl Audai."
As he spoke, Count Hasha looked at his daughter.
"I think all the adults already know that no matter what, the little girl can no longer get married..."
"You don''t need to say so sure."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Even if there wasn''t before, there might be some in the future. Maybe she will find a good husband?"
"In fact, after this incident, the little girl has given up on marriage, so... the old minister dared to ask..."
Speaking of this, Count Haxia looked at Duanmuhuai and hesitated for a moment.
"Please let the little girl become your exclusive maid for the Knight!"
“……Ha?”
Hearing this unexpected request, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, but An jumped up excitedly and clapped his hands hard.
"Yes, there is also this trick, why didn''t I expect it?"
“………”
Who are you from? !
Because An suddenly betrayed, Duanmu Huai finally just said that he wanted to think about it and then sent the father and daughter away. He reached out and grabbed An''s cheek until the other party left.
"Wow wow wow wow wow... the horn, the horn! Wash it first-!"
"It''s really a dog that can''t spit out ivory. Who are you from?"
He rubbed An''s face hard again, and Duanmuhuai let go of An and stared at her unhappyly. The latter rubbed his red face while pouting.
"What does it matter? Exclusive maids are good. In fact, if Earl Hasha hadn''t mentioned it, I forgot. Mr. Knight, you are a noble now and you also need exclusive maids."
"What maid do I want? Besides, aren''t you both of you not having maids?"
"Who said no? I have it at home! The same is true for Gureya, right?"
"ah………"
Gureya was stunned for a moment when she heard An suddenly pulling herself into the battlefield, and then she nodded.
"Yes……"
"Even so, it would be too unreliable to let the young lady be a maid."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you''re wrong, Mr. Knight."
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, how could he raise his chest proudly?
"You may not know, in fact, almost all the maids in the palace are noble ladies?"
"……is that so?"
"Of course! After all, I have to work in the palace. How can I hire people who don''t know the details? And it''s a waste of time to recruit people to investigate one by one, so I chose people from the trusted nobles to enter the palace to be maids. So although it''s a young lady, it''s not bad at all in daily life!"
"Oh, that''s it..."
When Duanmu Huai heard An say this, he was a little surprised at first, but it was correct to think about it carefully. After all, the palace is an important place, so it is impossible for people with unknown origins to do things in the palace. Especially jobs like maids, although not very important, they have to take care of the daily life of the royal family. If people with bad intentions come in, it will only bring danger to the royal family.
On the other hand, if it is the children of a noble, it is equivalent to having a family endorsement. Once something goes wrong, it is very likely to implicate the entire family, so it will not cause trouble in the palace.
"Since that''s the case, wouldn''t it be better to send her to the palace as a maid." Duanmu Huai was really one hundred and eighty of them unwilling to stuff people around him.
"This is not possible. After all, everything is spreading now. If Audel goes to the palace to be a maid, he will be bullied by others. Otherwise, Count Hasha would not come to find Mr. Knight. Because Mr. Knight, you not only have a high status, but also have strong strength. In addition, you don''t have an exclusive maid around you, isn''t this just right? Or... "
As she spoke, An looked at Ojis curiously.
"Miss Ojis is your exclusive maid?"
"Well... it''s not..."
If you want to talk about whether Aojisi is Duanmuhuai''s maid, she is definitely not. After all, Aojisi will not cook for Duanmuhuai, nor will she serve him to change clothes, nor will she bathe him. Strictly speaking, for Duanmu Huai, Aojisi is more like his subordinates and comrades-in-arms.
Anyway, not a maid.
In fact, strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai has a maid, but... the other party''s spirit is really not normal, so after Duanmu Huai took her back his hand, he had no intention of taking her out yet.
It is more of a murderer than a maid.
If possible, Duanmu Huai would never want to use her in her life...
"So, I think it''s very convenient to have an exclusive maid, and you can leave a lot of things to her."
“For example?”
"For example, if you want to notify someone, accept letters, deal with others as a representative, and handle financial and internal affairs... Mr. Knight, don''t you think that the maid is used to wash clothes, cook, and clean the house, right?"
Isn’t it?
Looking at An, Duanmu Huai really wanted to say this... After all, in his impression, there is no difference between a maid and a maid.
But to be honest, Duanmu Huai didn''t know exactly what the maid in the palace was going to do. Just like when he watched Qing Dynasty dramas, he couldn''t figure out what the use was for so many palace maids and nobles in the palace. Wash and cook? Or kill chickens and pigs? Or just like the waitress in the hotel, she is simply responsible for cleaning and serving vegetables and handing water?
I have to say that this is really a mystery to Duanmu Huai.
"Just like before, Mr. Knight, you wanted to find Miss Lorena. Didn''t it just send Miss Ojis to pass the message? If there was a personal maid, then you wouldn''t need to send someone around you to such things."
"Woo...it seems to make some sense..."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was somewhat helpless. As An said, it was not difficult for him to summon Lorena directly, but if he wanted to help the church, he had to go there and explain the matter clearly. Well... In fact, Ojis didn''t say it clearly. According to Lorena, when Ojis found her, she just said, "There is a demon, the master wants you to help"...
I have to say that when it comes to conveying information, Aojis is really not a good candidate.
"It''s better to do this!"
At this moment, An seemed to have thought of a good idea and clapped his hands hard.
"Aren''t we going to the West? Just take Odaire with you. Just let Mr. Knight, you can personally experience the strength of the exclusive maid! Just treat it as an assessment? If Mr. Knight is satisfied, then let her be your exclusive maid. If Mr. Knight is not satisfied, it is not too late to let her leave?"
“We are not going to play.”
"Don''t worry, I know Odai''s strength very well. Although it is not as good as me, it is also very outstanding in the Magic Academy."
Hearing An''s answer, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless. Obviously, judging from An''s appearance, she wanted to treat Odaire as her exclusive maid. But... that young lady is really so powerful?
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai reached out and swung through the air. Soon, a card message appeared in front of Duanmuhuai.
[Black Swan. Odaier (Gold)]
[Consumption: 6]
[Attack: 6]
[Defense: 5]
[At the end of your turn, give two damage to all enemy units]
“…………”
So awesome? !
Seeing the card introduction in front of me, Duanmu Huai was shocked. Although the damage was not high at 2 points, the problem was that this was the overall damage!
Although An and Gureya have more attack power than Audrey, they are basically single-body or range-based attacks. If they attack all the attacks, Duanmu Huai currently has this power only the [Divine Power Relic] used with [Sky City].
A mere noble lady actually has the weakened version of the entire attack effect?
And that black swan...
Looking at the card in front of him, Duanmu Huai hesitated for a moment and then made a decision.
"All right."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at An.
"Just as you said, let me see what she has."
