Devil's Journey

Chapter 469 My Agent
When Julian showed his strength, the others unanimously approved Julian's joining, and respected Julian quite a bit. After all, he is a noble spellcaster.

In addition to Persephone's war horse, the group also brought a larger number of traveling horses, all of which were provided by Persephone, and the extra traveling horse was distributed to Ketia, and they marched along the smooth business road. The speed was very fast, and there was still no shortage of transfers and supplies in towns, so by the next night, the team reached the eastern edge of the Red River City forces.

Because they did not stay overnight in the last town on the way, the group camped in the wild. The camping location was a place with a mountain behind it and very close to the water source.

The halfling rogue Pailin set up some traps around the camp, while Ketia talked with the animals she had mastered, and bought some small animals with some food as a warning.

The barbarian Hatch and the half-elf Adlan went to chop firewood and hunt. Although the group carried dry food, they could save some dry food if they could hunt some food, and the fresh food was more delicious.

The others helped each other and set up the tents. Although Persephone didn't travel much, she wasn't a completely ignorant rookie, and she had some insights on how to know and employ people.

This time Persephone didn't bring her retainers on the trip, and she even disguised herself, looking like a wandering freedom knight, in order to avoid attracting the attention of potential opponents as much as possible.

As for the professionals she invited, they were all well-known foreign adventurers in different towns, with little connection with the local nobles, and their conduct was pretty good.

The barbarian Hachi, who came back with firewood, seemed to be a little afraid of Julian, and deliberately kept a distance from Julian. The half-elf Adlan, who returned with a horned deer, handed the horned deer to the halfling Palin.

Then the thin and tall half-elf glanced at Persephone who was not far away, then took out a luer, and sang the love songs of his hometown lightly. poet.

The halfling Pai Lin was humming a tune and cooking in front of the built bonfire. Halflings who love food are good cooks, and even in the rough wilderness, they can make mouth-watering food.

Linda, a shield warrior with a stocky body like a strong woman, beat the halfling with a pointed dagger, skinning and disassembling the horned deer, which seemed to be very skillful.

Persephone checked the surroundings of the camp again before returning. She left her retainers behind on this trip, guarding the family territory, and at the same time tried not to reveal the news of her secret departure.

Without a cronies to follow, and only bringing together a group of adventurers, it was obviously a bit risky, but Persephone had to take this risk, she had to confirm the safety of her father and the caravan as soon as possible.

If her father and the caravan were really in misfortune, she would have to hold back her grief and return quickly to sell the family property before it was run off and devalued to minimize the loss.

The preoccupied Persephone looked thoughtfully at the mysterious warlock Julian. She already believed the other party's words. Transfiguration is obviously not something low-level spellcasters can use, even if the other party's Transfiguration is not so good. success.

With suspicion, fear and uncontrollable expectations, Persephone walked towards Julian. Ketia, who was guarding in front of Julian, looked at the approaching Passer with scrutiny like a vigilant guard dog. Fanny.

"Your Excellency Julian, may I interrupt you for a few minutes?"

"Yes." Julian replied with some lack of interest. I don't know if it's because of his young body, Julian obviously lacks interest in beautiful women now.

Persephone is surrounded by well-known noble beauties in Red River City, and there are not many suitors, but Persephone has always been committed to the prosperity of the family, and always politely refuses suitors.

And those suitors are not all people of noble character. After being rejected, there are many people with evil intentions. It's just because of Persephone's identity, it's not easy to do evil things. If it's a girl from a commoner family, those well-dressed nobles The younger brother is not so easy to talk to.

Persephone knew this well. She was raised as the heir of the family since she was a child, and she was not the kind of innocent noble lady. Seeing the young Julian in front of her, Persephone, who was both a nobleman and a businessman, suddenly A thought arises: 'Exotic goods can live. '

"Thank you, Your Excellency Julian. It may be a little presumptuous. I wonder if you have any plans after this mission?" Persephone's eyes seemed to pass over Julian's immature cheeks inadvertently, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart. If the other party grows up, I am afraid that he will soon become popular in Honghe City.

"After that?" Julian was a little puzzled, put down the much more delicately carved wand in his hand, and then said thoughtfully: "Not yet, maybe it will be based on adventure travel."

Persephone's eyes drooped slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in them, and the thought that arose in her heart became clearer, and then Persephone spoke again: "Your Excellency Julian, I believe that you were originally a powerful spellcaster, but the powerful The spellcaster also needs some cooperative forces to share his concerns, an agent who can purchase items, distribute loot, collect intelligence, receive quests, and communicate with other adventurers, what do you think?"

Julian heard the words and said clearly: "So, you want to be my agent? However, your family seems to be in crisis now."

Persephone bit her vermilion lips lightly when she heard the words, then she recovered her smile and said: "Yes, but it is because my family is in crisis that I will take the risk of asking you to act as an agent, otherwise, the nobles are not very good. Adventurous."

"That's right, the nobles prefer to direct other people to take risks." Julian nodded clearly. People's perceptions of adventurers are not the same, especially the wealthy.

I admire and awe powerful adventurers, but for middle and low-level adventurers, the perception is a bit complicated. On the one hand, these people are likely to become high-level adventurers, and then achieve a class transition and become a high-ranking nobleman. .

On the other hand, most of the adventurers who lick their blood with swords cannot escape death or injury. Few of them have truly completed the class transition and can die as a free citizen with a small savings, pinning their hopes on the next generation. Well done.

As a wealthy family under the existing system, although they have a relatively complete training system, many of them can guarantee the inheritance of professionals from generation to generation, but these noble professionals who seldom experience life-and-death training, want to be promoted to high-level professionals. Much more difficult.

That is to say, wizards and the like can be advanced less dangerously, so becoming a wizard will become the first choice of nobles, and even the knight profession is not as popular as a wizard.
