Chapter 169 Aren't You Dead? (Thanks to Sora no Shiro for the 500 rewards!)

A silver rank powerhouse?Come to me?

Sean almost thought he had heard wrong.

In the Jorn area, silver rank powerhouses are nothing like Chinese cabbage, and only viscount and above nobles can have them.

Of course, because the city of Jorn is close to the forest of elves, it is also possible to recruit silver-rank powerhouses in the market to forcibly obtain the title of viscount.

But such a title of "Honorary Viscount" is meaningless. There is no territory, no state subsidies, and it is almost impossible to support a silver-ranked powerhouse.

The hiring cost of an ordinary silver powerhouse is about 40-50 gold coins/month, but this is only the basic cost.

It would cost at least 300 gold coins for a silver-ranked strongman to work for him and obey orders every day, which was very expensive.

Therefore, the nobles in Jorn City are generally divided into two categories:
One category is the great aristocrats represented by the He family, with numerous industries and masters;
The other type is the minor nobles represented by the slave trader Sebastian Shuijing, who only hire Bronze-rank strongmen to maintain a basic title, which is convenient for participating in various social activities.

Back to Sean, this silver-ranked powerhouse came to join Sean.

Going to defect means that this silver-ranked powerhouse is willing to work for Sean for a long time, obeying Sean's orders, and Sean doesn't have to pay the high monthly fee of 300 gold coins.

This is a good thing for the pie in the sky!
……

But after thinking about it, Sean felt something was wrong.

Why would there be a silver level strong person coming to defect?He doesn't have that much influence now, and he doesn't have any "dominant aura". Could it be that he is a diehard who came here from Palomia?

So Xiao En asked the male servant: "What does that silver-ranked strongman look like? Male or female? Why did you defect to me?"

The servant thought for a while and replied: "This strong man is a man, wearing a black robe, with a feminine face, probably in his 20s, and he didn't say anything else."

After listening to the valet's description, Sean looked at Windsor, and Windsor also looked at Sean.

The two made eye contact and nodded in unison.

"You let this strong man wait in the hall, we will go there later!" Sean ordered the servant.

"Yes, sir!" The manservant answered with a bow, and left the study and closed the door behind him.

After the servant left, Henry looked at Sean in surprise:
"Master! Could it be that this silver-ranked powerhouse, like Anduin, is your follower in Palomia?"

If he had the allegiance of a silver-ranked powerhouse, his master would no longer be a baron, but a veritable viscount!

Sean shook his head: "I don't know either, let's go meet and talk about it!"

At the same time, Sean also ordered Wen Desuoer and Luo Dian:
"Luo Dian, go and call Rem; Windsor, you are ready to fight at any time."

"Understood, my lord!" Windsor and Luo Dian replied at the same time.

Five minutes later, Sean brought his subordinates into the hall.

The silver-ranked powerhouse was standing motionless in the hall right now, with a blank expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiao En took a look at the young strong man in front of him, he was quite handsome, with a gloomy and stern look on his soft face, he didn't look like an easy-going person.

So Sean tried to communicate with him: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Seeing Xiao En coming, the young strong man said softly:
"His Royal Highness Sean, my name is Sean, this time I am here to join you and become your subordinate;

Also, I have an important thing to tell you. "

"Your name is also Sean?" Sean was a little surprised. The mercenary leader of Silver Hourglass they were discussing just now was also named Sean.

However, considering that it might be the same name, Sean didn't take it seriously: "Sean, what's the important thing to come to me?"

"This." Sean glanced at the guards in the hall in embarrassment.

Sean understood what Sean meant and ordered Henry: "Henry, let the guards leave first."

"Okay, sir." Henry hurriedly ordered the guards to leave.

After the guards left, Sean looked at Sean again: "Can we talk now?"

Sean did not answer, but looked at Windsor, Henry, Barr, and Luo Dian: "Your Highness Sean, what I want to say is confidential, and the fewer people who know it, the better. Are they trustworthy?"

Sean nodded: "They are all trustworthy, so just speak up if you have anything to say!"

"OK then!"

Sean didn't smear any ink, and scratched his face with his hand, and his face was immediately taken off like a mask.

Behind the mask, a familiar face suddenly appeared. It was Sean, the leader of the Silver Hourglass Mercenary Group who "died young" that Sean and the others were discussing just now.

Seeing Sean's face, Sean was shocked: "How could it be you? Aren't you already dead?"

The resurrection of the dead?Could it be that Sean turned into an undead to join him?
Thinking of this, Sean suddenly felt creepy.

The butler Henry almost cried out when he saw Sean's face, and took two steps back in fright.Windsor drew out his saber, ready to fight at any time.

Sean brought back the mask again: "Your Highness Sean, I am not an undead, and I am not dead, let's go to a hidden place and talk about it."

Sean observed Sean and found that he was indeed not an undead, and Windsor also nodded to Sean.

So Sean said: "This is indeed not a place to talk, let's go to the study to chat."

Sean returned to the study with his subordinates and Sean.

After entering the study and closing the door, Sean couldn't wait to ask: "Sean, according to the news from the black market, aren't you already dead?"

Not only Sean, but also the butlers Henry and Wen De Sole showed concern.

"I'm not dead." Sean explained: "The news of my death is just false news from my father."

"Wait a minute, is this the father you're talking about?"

Sean thought of a possibility.

"That's right!" Sean quickly admitted, "I'm the illegitimate son of Bishop Benjamin. The whole thing was planned by my father, in order to find a suitable reason to get rid of the mole in the church - Joshua .”

"So it is! No wonder I always feel that something is wrong." Sean suddenly realized.

Butler Henry also couldn't help asking: "So, you didn't have an affair with the bishop's wife?"

Sean shook his head: "Of course not! After all, I am the son of the bishop. How could I have an affair with my stepmother? Only nobles like to do such a thing."

Sean's face darkened: "I am also a nobleman, not all nobles like that.

But then again, if Bishop Benjamin planned this and killed Joshua for a reasonable reason, then why did he choose you?Can't others? "

"Hey! This matter has to start with the Church of the Dark Spirit." Sean sighed.

"Dark Spirit Church?" Sean asked, he had never heard of this name before.

At the same time, Sean also glanced at Henry, who also shook his head, saying that he had never heard of this name before.
