Lord: I have a skill talent tree

"You haven't said how you're going to get the territory back?"

After some chatting between Ethan and Sophia, they returned to the topic.

Sofia seemed to enjoy chatting with Ethan about off-topic topics, and she was a little unhappy when Ethan returned to business.

"Are you that eager to move out?"

"I just want to start a family and start a business! For men, there is always a home of their own!" Ethan replied with a smile.

"Okay!" Sophia nodded: "It won't take long before you have it.

But this time, you are no longer fighting alone, our Lawson family will stand up for you.

Leave this to me!

I'm not boasting, I'll let you experience what it means to be able to fight without a bloody blow! "

…

While the two were talking, the carriage arrived in front of an ancient three-story building in the city center.

As soon as the carriage stopped, two knights came over and opened the door for them.

Sofia introduced the two of them to Ethan, and then led Ethan towards the building.

Ethan looked around.

This is a Gothic stone building, covering an area of ​​about two acres. It looks like it has been around for some time, and is severely weathered in many places.

The two-person-high gate has a tulip flower logo printed on it, but there is no text and no purpose.

Nowadays, there are heavily armed family soldiers everywhere around the building, either standing guard or patrolling, and the atmosphere seems a bit tense.

"Where is this?"

Seeing that the place was on high alert, Ethan couldn't help but ask.

Sofia held Ethan's arm and led the way while replying: "The headquarters of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to which the family belongs is in charge of all the financial affairs of the southern family.

Whether it is the financial settlement of the business or the salaries of family members, it is settled here.

Thousands of family members depend on this place for their livelihood. "

"Wow!" Ethan pursed his lips: "Then why did you bring me here?"

Sofia smiled, looked seriously into Ethan's eyes and said, "You will be in charge of this place from now on!"

"What?" Ethan looked in disbelief: "I will be in charge?

Sophia, I'm afraid that won't work. I'm not the type. "

"Whether it's this material or not, you have to take it!" Sophia said with a serious face: "You are the only man in our team who can do it, and you must take responsibility.

In fact, you not only have to take responsibility here, but you also have to understand other industries one by one.

However, this is more important, so I will take you here first.

After a while, when you become familiar with the situation here, you will go to other industries for internships, and you must not leave any behind. "

Ethan suddenly had a bitter look on his face: "Do you want to be a hands-off shopkeeper?"

"It doesn't matter what I want." Sophia smiled slightly: "What matters is that you have to take responsibility!"

As they spoke, the two walked to a hall on the second floor.

There are more than a dozen people wearing financial officers' robes, busy at the table, and many apprentices are walking through the hall, helping the financial officers.

Everyone stood up and saluted when they saw Sophia.

This was the first time for Ethan to see the work behind the scenes of a big family.

Although it feels a bit like when I was working in my previous life, I am still deeply attracted by the busyness and solemnity here.

At this time, Sophia clapped her hands: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work!

I have something to announce to you today.

This person next to me is Knight Ethan. He will be in charge of this place from now on, and any procedures you will go through in the future will be approved by him.

…”

After Sofia said something, she asked everyone to continue working, and at the same time made a waving gesture to a silver-haired old man.

Then he took Ethan to a separate office.

"This is where you will work from now on!"

Ethan was still a little confused at this time and didn’t know what to say.

After a while, the silver-haired old man knocked on the door and came in: "Miss Sophia, Knight Ethan, what are your orders?"

Sofia nodded: “Ethan, this is Crozier’s financial officer, he has been serving the family for decades.

Regardless of financial level or experience, they are all top-notch. Let him guide you first. "

"I can't bear Miss's praise!" Klotz said modestly, and then immediately stepped forward and kissed his hand: "Knight Ethan, it is an honor to serve you."

Ethan guessed that Sophia must have a reason for calling the old man alone.

So he was polite to the old man and then sent him away.

After everyone left, Ethan said: "I just came back, do you have to arrange so many things for me?

You may not know me as a person, but I just want to enjoy myself and don’t want to take on any heavy responsibilities.

I speak from the bottom of my heart! "

"I'm afraid this won't work!" Sofia shook her head: "I told you before, this home will belong to you sooner or later.

The Duke's side was about to be decided, which meant I was about to get married.

Therefore, the family must have a new leader. Don't think about leisure, countless people are counting on you. "

"Decide the winner?" Ethan suddenly frowned: "What do you mean?"

“Alas…” Sophia sighed: “I wanted to tell you before, but you said it was unnecessary.

In this case, you just need to do what you promised before.

But, as you probably know, these are the most confusing times.

At times like this, there are always people fishing in troubled waters.

We don't seek to gain from this chaos, but we don't allow anyone to take advantage of us. "

Ethan did not regret what he said before, even though he knew nothing about the situation now.

Anyway, he was relieved that Sophia was in control of the situation.

To be honest, Ethan rarely felt relieved, except for Sophia.

"Okay! Please pretend I didn't ask!"

Sophia smiled: "Then let's go! I'll take you to the underground vault."

Sophia took the lead and walked out of the room.

The two went down until they came to the door of an underground warehouse.

There was a knight playing poker with his men in boredom.

When they saw Sophia, they stood up and saluted.

Sophia smiled slightly, took out two keys from her arms, handed them to the other party, and signaled to open the door.

The knight did it immediately.

As the two keys were inserted into the locks on both sides of the door, the stone door slowly opened.

Ethan followed Sophia into the interior and saw dozens of compartments inside.

In each compartment, gold coins were neatly stacked in a suitable long wooden box, and then piled up into a mountain...

Wow, how much money is this!

Ethan couldn't help asking in his heart.

Seeing that Ethan's eyes were a little straight, Sophia smiled and handed two keys to Ethan.

"Dear brother-in-law, just take a look.

You will understand in the future that these golds are actually useless. We have stored the real useful ones in the castle of the territory.

However, this place is still very important.

Please guard this place and don't let it get into trouble."

Ethan held the two keys in his hand, and his head was still a little dizzy.

"Something happened? You asked me to come back just to guard this place?"

"One of them!" Sophia looked helpless: "The main thing is that I hope you can take over the family affairs. You know, my sister can't take care of things, and I... I don't have much time!"
