Civilization Guardian Front

"It's much more expensive than the few real estates I've seen before..." Opening the folder, Alicia pulled out the quotation details given to her by the person in charge of the casino, and handed it to Chios, apologetically saying:

"If you pay in installments, it's 300 million fares. If you settle it all at once, it can be reduced to 4000 million fares. Because it's only listed for sale recently, the seller should be planning to observe it for a while, so there is little room for negotiation."

The prices of the few mansions I have seen before are all around 3000 million, but this manor has exceeded the budget by a large margin.

As she said, the casino is just unwilling to cut prices prematurely, and wants to wait and see the market reaction before making adjustments.

The Piriano Manor certainly has many advantages, otherwise Alicia would not have included it as an option.However, the inconvenient transportation due to its location on the edge of the city, coupled with the problem of too few housing units, made it doomed not to be the first choice for family groups when economic conditions allowed.

Alicia is sure that as long as she is given three months, the price will definitely be lowered to less than 500 million fare.

Unfortunately, when she gave the young man an analysis with a firm tone, the other party shook his head.

"No, I bought it."

It's rare to see a property that perfectly suits your preferences, and Chios doesn't want to wait for the price difference.

I know you like it very much, but don't treat money as money...

The elf thought helplessly.

4000 million Farley, that is a huge sum of money that a first-level adventurer may not be able to spend even if he earns his best for a month or two...

Forget it, it's not my own money to spend anyway.

Realizing that it was impossible for her to persuade Chios to wait, Alicia quietly rolled her eyes.

"I see, I'll go to the seller tomorrow to convey what you mean.'

"I would be very grateful if you took the time and trouble to find a place for me."

"Where, you're welcome."

The seven consecutive days of hard work came to a successful conclusion. Next, I was going to have a good meal. I went back to the headquarters, took a comfortable hot bath, and then lay down on the bed for a good night's sleep.

The above is the original plan of the blond elf.

"Miss Forest Wright..." Chios said, suddenly disrupting Alicia's beautiful arrangement:

"It's getting late, if you don't have any plans for the future, I would like to invite you to have dinner together."

thump!

The pupils constricted, and the heart missed half a beat before hitting the chest violently.

Previously, it was only vaguely felt, but now, Alicia can be sure...

The man in front of him didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he repeatedly seduced women.

It stands to reason that if it wasn't appointed by the deputy head, there would be no intersection between him and the wandering knight who does not belong to the Loki family. The other party already has a lover, so there is no reason to get close to her for no reason.

It is inevitable that there will be contacts in business, and she also tried her best not to think in that direction.

However, no matter what excuses you use to have dinner together in private time, it is completely unjustifiable, right?

The turmoil caused by Tifa and Aisi in the same family is a lesson for the past. Alicia really doesn't want to be involved in this whirlpool.

Put yourself in the shoes of a lover, and definitely don't want your partner to have anything to do with too many girls.

(It's better to refuse.) Alicia thought to herself.

she was about to speak...

"Sure enough, can't you..."

It seemed that after waiting for a long time for an answer, the young man on the bench beside him spoke up.

Bathed in the rays of light on the eve of the day's curtain call, Chios, who clasped his fingers together, stared at his lonely reflection in the water mirror in front of him, and said in a desolate tone:

"That's right, Ms. Forrest Wright must have many friends in the city."

...

On the northwest main street, the weapon shop "Hephaestus"...

"No no no!"

In the guest room on the second floor of the store, there was a girl's noise:

"What a wandering knight, a child I've never seen before, suddenly wants to be his family or something, it's absolutely strange!"

"So, we will meet the day after tomorrow, right..." Hephaestus, the god of forging, rubbed the center of her brows, trying to suppress her impatience.

After a whole afternoon, Hephaestus still failed to convince the god friend.

She couldn't understand why Hestia resisted so fiercely when she heard that she recommended Chios.

"I have confirmed with my own eyes that the child's longing for his family is true, his strength is guaranteed, and his personality and appearance are impeccable. If you go find it yourself, you won't be able to find a better one even after 1 years."

"But I just don't want to..."

The black-haired goddess who buried her head in the quilt lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing a slightly immature and delicate face.

Puffing her cheeks, she retorted angrily:

"And who said I can't find it, as long as I have the heart, it's not enough to find a child with extraordinary talents..."

"Excuse me?"

Before Hestia finished speaking, Hephaestus interrupted with a cold voice.

The red-haired goddess' face darkened.

"You rely on your friends to help you, and you, who haven't seriously looked for a member of your family until now, dare to say such a thing with the cheek? Why don't you go out and find a good boy now?"

"That... Hephaestus..." Seeing that her friend was about to lose patience, Hestia froze, and then begged for mercy:

"I, I, I'm just joking, I just hope you understand my feelings... ah!"

Swish!

The quilt protecting her was ripped off, and the black-haired girl cowardly glanced at the God of Forging.

"In order to ensure that you can accept that child, I will give you a [-]% discount on the first-level armed armor, and the total loss will be at least [-] million mana. Based on your ambition, I will give you two choices..."

Looking down at her good friend, Hephaestus said coldly:

"First, hand over the [-] million fares earned within a year to me; second, accept the child obediently."

Chapter 480: Isn't it a waste of time to bathe like this?

Southwest Main Street, next to the little restaurants in Plaza Amor.

(The result still came...)

Sitting on one side of the double seat by the window, the blond elf rested her chin on her left hand and stared at the many people cuddling each other in the outdoor square.

The garden paved with paving stones of various colors is embellished with flowers planted as fences, presenting a gorgeous atmosphere.When the setting sun disappeared and the sky became darker, the magic stone lamp hanging overhead lit up, dimly illuminating the entire square.

The beautiful situation and atmosphere attract countless couples to date here every day.

To make money for these men and women who are immersed in love, the shops around here will not be as noisy and noisy as those taverns serving adventurer teams, but instead use elegance and romance as the main theme.

A candle is lit in the center of the table covered with a tablecloth, and the flickering fire lights intertwine with light and shadow, which sets off the bright red roses in small glass pots. Affected by the overall dark tone of the store, the surrounding scene seems to be covered with a layer of light. It slowly lost focus like a fog, leaving only the person on the opposite side of the candle becoming more and more clear.

The index finger of her right hand gently curled the blond hair hanging down her cheek. Alicia kept her expression on her face, but she couldn't hide her nervousness in her heart.

Glancing at the empty seat opposite...

After ordering the wine, taking advantage of the time before the dishes were served, the young man took out his pipe and filled it with shredded tobacco, smiled politely at Alicia and nodded, got up and went outside to smoke.

It seems to see through the elf woman's restless mind, and it is a gentleman's move to give her time to settle down with ease.

However, this method of leaving the meeting is so skillful that people don't feel the slightest embarrassment, but it is even more frightening...

At that moment, Alicia felt that she was a moth that slammed into a spider's web on its own initiative.

Faced with the young man's lonely expression, he couldn't refuse ruthlessly. When he came to Amor Square, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he who had agreed to the other party's invitation couldn't turn around and leave at this time.

It's just a meal, don't think too much...

Although it is a dating site and a restaurant for couples, it is inevitable to be shaken, but I am innocent and have absolutely no intention of being involved in a terrifying battle between women.

Just keep calm and stop thinking about it in the wrong direction.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but rejoice that Aisi and Tifa both ventured into the dungeon.Otherwise, if we encounter the current situation, I am afraid there will be some misunderstanding again.

Alicia narrowed her eyes after drinking some water to moisten her throat.

For the sake of the peace of the Loki family, and not to cause trouble to Mrs. Riveria, as a senior member, I must lead by example.

jingle...

The elf's characteristic sharp ears moved slightly, capturing the sound of the wind chimes colliding when the restaurant door was pushed open.

She put down the water glass and looked at the entrance intently.

The slender figure who put away the pipe approached step by step, until the man pulled out the chair and sat down, and the faint candlelight reflected the handsome face of the young man.

Seeing Alicia's upright expression, with an attitude of discussing business affairs, a clear light flashed in Chios' eyes, but he was still confused on the surface, and asked with a smile:

"What's the matter, why is Ms. Forrest Wright looking at me seriously?"

"nothing..."

Combing the blond hair with one hand, the elf turned his face away and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Pesheim did it on purpose..." Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the young man's expression of interest, as if watching a good show, and she felt a little dissatisfied for no reason.

"The pleasure of watching the flustered reactions of girls is not something to be encouraged."

She didn't know that the sentence she changed the subject actually accurately hit the evil nature of the man in front of her.

"Heh..." Chios couldn't help laughing.

"Why do you think I'm a bad guy all of a sudden?"

"If not...why did you bring me here for dinner..." Eyes fixed on Chios, the blond elf asked eagerly:

"Hasn't Mr. Pesheim already had a lover?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Alicia regretted it.

Obviously the other party hasn't made any transgressive actions yet, but she is impatient to draw a clear line. Could it be that she took the initiative to expose her thoughts and deviated from the normal track of communication, which led to her immediate precautions.

If the other party replied, "What are you thinking?", Alicia would definitely die of shame.

However, when it comes to this point, it is too late to retreat.

"Wouldn't you be afraid of causing misunderstanding if you find a girl to come to this kind of place?"

At this time, the waiter interjected slightly awkwardly:

"excuse me..."

First, he served the appetizer "Crab Meat Caviar Tower" to the two of them. Then he picked up the champagne that the customer had ordered earlier. After asking Chios to confirm, he opened the bottle quickly and poured just a sip into the man's wine glass. amount.

He picked up the slender goblet with two fingers and shook it, concentrating on the beautiful light golden sparkling wine for two seconds, and then brought it close to his face to smell the aroma.

Rich fruity aroma, like stewed fruit, with some light sweet spices such as nutmeg and vanilla, slowly lingering in the glass.

Chios tilted his wine glass and took a sip.

The sweet taste of ripe fruit and tartin apple pie melts slowly in the mouth, layers are endless, complex but harmonious.

Nodding to the waiter to indicate that there is no problem, the other party was immediately relieved.

He quickly poured a third of a glass of champagne for the two of them, and he put the bottle into the ice bucket by the table.

(A guest who can taste wine calmly and calmly under the situation of a woman's temper is really strong...) With such a mood, the male waiter bowed and left.

After this episode, Alicia's momentum in questioning has become exhausted.

"..."

The scene froze for a moment.

The blond elf's cheeks flushed.

The words that were originally spoken in one breath following the impulse, after the emotion has passed, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to say the same tone a second time.

Fortunately, Chios didn't let the silence last too long...

He was worried that if he continued to bully this elf lady, the other party would not be able to suppress the embarrassment and get up and run away.

"To be honest, I didn't have time to think about it that much..."
