Chapter 744 Appeal
City Lord's Mansion.
The noble-dressed city lord was personally entertaining the captain of the Valkyrie team who had returned from exterminating demons this time. After drinking a glass of wine, he agreed to the compensation proposed by the other party.
Although this team from outside the ocean has a small number of people, and they are all women, each of them has extraordinary strength, as if they are born with divine power, and can punch through a wall with one punch.
Therefore, the city lord does not want to turn against them for a little profit, not to mention that they have to rely on them to deal with the monsters around the city.
"Miss Angeline, how is it? How does this wine taste?"
Sitting on the luxurious bench, the city lord raised his wine glass and smiled at Angeline, whose face was still not rosy even though he had drank several glasses of wine.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Angeline licked the last drop of liquid in the wine glass with the tip of her tongue and expressed her heartfelt appreciation.
Although they also have good wines in Europe, the wines in Shinano do have a unique flavor.
"Haha... As long as you like it, this is a unique product that I specially asked someone to brew. After drinking it this time, I will have to trouble you to wait for the next time you want to drink it."
"..."
Angeline glanced outside the door, and the city lord immediately understood what she meant.
"Of course, I will also serve the other girls with the best food. As for wine... we don't have this type anymore. Maybe we can try something else?"
"No, some of them are too young to drink. They just need some food."
Angeline shook her head, looked at the man opposite with a wrinkled smile on his face, and said bluntly: "Tell me, is there anything else you need our help with?"
"Hehe... Actually, there have been monsters appearing near our city recently..."
The city lord also told Angeline his request straight to the point. The content was still about conquering monsters. After all, it was only in this aspect that the city lord needed to rely on the power of these Valkyries.
"About two or three days ago, our guards outside the city often saw monsters coming out of the medicine fields and attacking residents. And just yesterday, another group of doctors from the south of the city ignored the warning and went there. I haven’t come back yet, and I don’t know whether to live or die..."
"...In other words, our mission this time is not only to defeat the monsters, but also to rescue those who may have survived?" Angeline tapped the wall of the cup lightly with one finger, as if thinking about it.
"I'm also sorry to trouble you again when you first come back, but there are too many monsters this time. After much thought, only you can help us solve the crisis... Oh, of course, the reward will be doubled, And I will also send soldiers to go with you..."
The city lord said he was sorry, but Angeline could see the treachery beneath his face.
So Angeline curled her lips secretly and interrupted: "Your people are not needed, but the reward needs to be tripled this time. You know, we came to Shinano this time just to recruit some good talents, but I have no obligation to help you deal with the monsters."
"Haha... That's natural. As long as you can help us deal with those beasts, let alone triple the reward, so what if it's four or five times?"
"Humph……"
Angeline snorted. It was clear that the other party was on the right track, but she was not happy at all, because the performance of the city lord in front of her reminded her of the guys in high positions in Europe, who all exuded the same smell, which was really annoying.
The wine had been finished, and there was no need for Angeline to stay as a guest any longer, so she stood up and left.
The city lord behind him was still smiling, just like a businessman.
……
"Huh? Captain, look..."
Outside the city lord's palace, as soon as Angelin came out with her team members, one of the team members raised a finger.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Angeline saw that the little pink-haired man who had separated from them not long ago was sitting on the doorstep, seemingly waiting for someone.
As soon as her eyes lit up, her unhappy mood was immediately put aside. Angelin walked towards Yaeli with her equally happy team members.
"Have you thought about it so quickly?"
Angeline's voice came from behind. Yaeli turned around, holding the package in his hand, and there were cookie crumbs on the side of his mouth. After seeing these guys finally coming out, he stuffed the half-eaten cookies back. Bu Bao, pat your butt and stand up.
"Perhaps you are really suitable to be one of us."
Angelin also admired Yaeli's careless behavior.
The recruitment scope of Valkyrie is not only in Shinano, girls will also be brought in from mainland Europe.
It's just that whether it's Shinano's side or Europe's side, most girls still retain a weak or coquettish character, and it takes a long period of correction before they can be sent to the battlefield as a qualified Valkyrie.
So Angeline was naturally happy to see a boyish "girl" like Yae Ri joining them.
In this way, the cultivation time can also be greatly shortened.
What’s more, this kid is so cute~
"Well, actually I haven't thought it through yet..."
Angelin touched her head happily, and Yae Li showed an embarrassed expression on her face.
"Ok?"
Angeline's hand, which was feeling the little pink-haired hairball, paused.
"I came here this time because I have something to ask you for help..."
Yaeli quickly explained his request, which made Angelin look weird.
Because the demands put forward by Yae Li actually overlapped to some extent with the demands he had made just now when he hated the city lord.
It's just that Yaeli's main purpose is to ask them to help save people, while the city lord's main purpose is to hope that they can get rid of the monsters and save people by the way.
"I know this request is a bit overwhelming, but..."
"It doesn't matter. Even if you don't say anything, we have to deal with those monsters anyway." Angeline interrupted him with a smile, but the hand that had paused started to rub the other person's head again.
"Ok?"
Yaeli raised his head, thinking he heard it wrong. Was it such a coincidence?
He had prepared a lot of ink in his stomach to persuade the other party, and even wanted to exchange a little promise for the other party's help... Fortunately, his mouth was slower.
Angeline didn't know Yaeli's inner happiness. If she knew, she would probably regret her quick words.
She remembered that Yaeli's purpose in coming to the city this time seemed to be to find a doctor, right?
To actually force him to come over and ask for help, does it mean that perhaps there are too many doctors in the city missing?
And even Yaeli knew that the doctors might have been abducted by monsters. Maybe the monster disaster near this city is more serious than imagined?
