My players are so fierce

Chapter 134 133. The women of Transia are not easy to mess with.

"Tell me, how come I, a guy with a commoner background and no surname, suddenly became the scarlet consul of Cadman City? I also mixed in the title and territory of a baroness."

Miss Miriam, who had just experienced ups and downs in her life, looked at the scarlet consul's seal in her hand and the baroness title document in her other hand.

It still felt a little unreal for a while.

Although both of these things exist very real in your own hands.

Starting tonight, the area of ​​Moreland Village where she was born and the five nearby villages will be her territory.

Some people may be dissatisfied with this, but the title document in her hand with the seal of the Blood Vulture Archduke is still quite convincing in the Transia region. As long as the Blood Eagle Clan is still here, they will have the final say there!

Thinking of this, Miriam couldn't help but clenched the paperwork in her hand.

There was a surge of excitement in her heart.

At the young age of 24, she is already at least forty years and at most two lifetimes ahead of other classmates' careers.

Unfortunately, with both her parents dead and few friends, she didn't know who to share this sudden joy with.

"Hey, I always feel like I sold myself by the pound just for these two crappy things."

In the quiet night city, Miss Miriam commented on her decision just like Versailles.

Then, she took a deep breath, took out a simple small box from her psychic bag, opened it, and took out a dim silver-white bracelet from it and placed it in front of her eyes.

"Mom, I did it!"

Miriam stared at the bracelet that reflected the beautiful halo in the moonlight. After a few seconds, she put the only thing left by her mother on her forehead and said with a slight cry:

"I've finally become famous! Although I haven't yet achieved success, I have fulfilled half of your wish before you left. If you can see it, please share this joy with me."

"I said, the way you Transians worship your ancestors is to just find a place and pray on the spot? Miss, could you please check to see if there is anyone around you before conveying your thoughts to your mother next time? ?”

A rather familiar voice sounded beside Miriam with a bit of embarrassment, causing the red-haired girl who was crying to stand up.

When he turned around, he already had a scarlet gun in his hand.

This was the weapon Murphy had given Adele to her for self-defense.

Major Fraser, who was pointed at gunpoint, raised his hands helplessly. He ignored the danger before him and explained in a calm tone:

"I'm leaving here tomorrow afternoon, and I have to finish writing my investigative report tonight. But the celebration is very noisy, so I can only find a quiet place to write. Logically speaking, this is I found the place first.

Therefore, you are not the one being disturbed, Miss Miriam. "

"Sure enough, the Plantagenet Kingdom is rich in sneaky guys like you."

Miriam snorted, put away the gun and bent down to pick up the things that fell on the ground. Major Frazier stepped forward to help in a very gentlemanly manner.

But when he saw the bracelet, the Major's brows suddenly raised.

This style

It always looks a bit familiar.

Major Fraser, an intelligence worker, showed no surprise.

He picked up the bracelet from the ground and looked at it carefully, keeping the style in mind, then returned it to Miriam, handed over the scarlet Archon's Seal in the other hand, and joked:

"It seems that Mr. Murphy has seen your potential and decided to reuse you. If I read correctly, what you have in your hand should be a title document, right? It's really an ancient style. I vaguely remember that there is one in the family library. Contains similar document samples, which were already popular 400 years ago.

So, what should I call you now? Ser Miriam? "

"Whatever you want, I'm in a good mood today and I'm not as familiar with you."

Miriam didn't have the slightest fondness for this guy who had tried to cause trouble in the camp she managed, but being a fellow student made it difficult for her to get angry, so she could only treat him coldly.

But Major Fraser seemed to be in a very lively conversation tonight because he was about to leave. He made a "please" gesture very gentlemanly and said to Miriam:

"I want to go back to the camp, why don't I go with me? It's too unseemly for a lady to walk alone in such a night. I once heard that vampires are a race that values ​​etiquette the most, but based on my observations these days, it seems that the rumors are wrong. "

"That's just because you didn't choose the right person to observe."

Miriam replied smoothly:

"Neither Lord Murphy nor Grand Duke Tracey are vampires in the 'normal' category, but Miss Femis is the most well-mannered woman I have ever seen, and she can be called a role model.

It's a pity that you came at the wrong time.

Speaking of which, Your Excellency Major, you are not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a girl, but you are so attentive to me tonight.

Is it because you saw my identity change and realized that I will assume more important responsibilities under Lord Murphy, so you plan to establish a good relationship with me in advance so that you can spy on information from me in the future? "

"You are a wise lady, and I do not deny my intentions."

Fraser chuckled.

He glanced at the title document in Miriam's hand and said:

"Another reason is that although the Capetian family has taken root in the Anjou region for more than three hundred years, our ancestor was once a count in the Transia region, and he was one of the 134 nobles when the Confederation of Persia was originally established. one.

Don't worry, the family still retains the title deed to a small piece of forest bordering the Ice Bay region in northern Transia.

Because of this, the Cape family is very sensitive to changes in the noble genealogy of the Transian region. If nothing else happens, you may see representatives from my family in the next few months.

When the time comes, I hope you will take my face into consideration and not embarrass him too much.

This does not represent any political intentions, it is just a friendly relationship between families.

During the four hundred years that the Blood Vulture Clan ruled this land, the connection between the Sealand nobles and this land in the shadows has never been broken. This is an ancient tradition.

Moreover, Mrs. Tris firmly said that my grandfather's fortune back then had something to do with her. I can't confirm these rumors, but this does not prevent me from paying more personal attention to the new Blood Vulture Clan. "

"Is that so?"

Miriam nodded suddenly.

She had heard some rumors in this area before, but she had not been able to access this level because of her status as a civilian.

After Fraser, the heir to the big family, made an introduction, she could finally understand why Cadman City of the Blood Vulture Clan was still continuously receiving supplies from the outside despite being besieged by all of Transia. .

These nobles are really having fun.

And now, I have to step into this circle, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

"In my opinion, you should ask Professor Malcolm for advice in this regard. His research direction can give you a lot of good advice."

Major Fraser continued:

"I can actually understand your choice."

"oh?"

Miriam blinked and asked:

"Tell me, let me see what image I am in your eyes?"

"It's not as bad as you think, so you don't need to be stingy with every word. The war is over. Theoretically, we are no longer enemies. And in the context of the approaching black disaster, we may still be able to survive in the future. Let’s fight the enemy together.”

His Majesty the Major waved his hand and said loudly like a chat between friends:

"In my opinion, your choice to serve Lord Murphy is a pretty good decision, because as far as I know, the employment situation of graduates of the School of Administration of Shardeau University in recent years, hey, to be honest, it is not optimism.

Especially humans like you.

It is not easy to find a "professional counterpart" job in the environment of the Ten Years' War. I am also a student at Chardoux University. Although I am an undergraduate, I know the city very well.

Although halflings admire technology, they also have a certain "racist" tendency. As far as I know, there are not many senior officials in the prosperous port city, no, in the entire Genoa Peninsula, large and small towns, of foreign races.

Even if you stay in a halfling city, the most you can do is be assigned by the college to be a low-level clerk in a certain street management office or be assigned to be an assistant in a certain border town, wasting your youth to climb up the ladder little by little.

Even if it takes decades, it may not be possible to enter the middle and high-rise buildings in the city. "

"Yeah, a very accurate assessment."

Miriam nodded with admiration, because what Major Fraser said was very accurate.

In fact, she had also considered this issue before accepting Murphy's job. As the two walked away from the ruins, she continued what Major Fraser said:

"If I want a better future, then my best choice is to go to the reform-minded Plantagenet Kingdom after completing my studies. Your young and powerful King Louis wants to improve the kingdom's governance system to achieve centralization. For this purpose, he needs a lot of administrative assistants in the process.

If I could catch this ride, I might be able to get an official position.

Yet I am a Transian.

My status as a visitor from an enemy country leaves me with limited political prospects in your country.

If I can't go to the Plantagenet Kingdom, the second option left for me is to go north and try my luck in those Yankee kingdoms.

But the problem is that the military reform of the Nordtov Kingdom has just begun, and it will take at least ten years to complete. This is based on the successful experience of the Plantagenet Kingdom. "

Miriam felt like she was back in the academy at this time, just like when she was discussing and analyzing the situation on the mainland with her classmates at the weekly debate meeting in her class.

Under the slightly surprised gaze of Major Fraser next to her, the red-haired girl shook her short hair and said softly but firmly:

“However, the biggest problem of the Nordtov Kingdom was not its military, but its poor administrative system which was also hampered by a rather backward serfdom.

I don't want to overestimate myself, but the fact is that if a 'high-end talent' like me comes to the territory of those barbaric Yankees, the best result is just to sneak into the palace as a teacher or become an administrative consultant to a certain land noble. .

For me, the situation there was even worse than staying in Transia.

It was like a pool of stagnant water.

And the young wolf lady may not be able to make the waves she wants in this mud pit throughout her life.

I didn’t even have to do any more thinking.

Just by comparing the different options I might have in the future, I could easily come to a conclusion that I thought was pretty scary.

That is, although I am currently serving a vampire lord in my closed and dark hometown, staying here is the most promising future for me.

The knowledge I have learned can be put into perfect use.

The most important thing is that in my observation, the degree of freedom Mr. Murphy has devolved in power can be called "indulgent" at present. "

Miriam shook her head.

She realized that she seemed to have said too much.

So he ended with a joke, touched the title document in his hand, and said:

“I still vaguely remember that an administrative course instructor with work experience once said with emotion more than once that if you can meet a lord or superior who knows how to ‘delegate power’, you must cherish it.

So I feel like from a job seeker's perspective, I'm really lucky.

Why do not you speak? Your Mightiness. "

She looked at Major Fraser.

The latter was looking at this lady from a civilian background with surprise and admiration. He sighed:

"Your analysis of the situation you are in has allowed me to see the terrifying strength of the alumni of the School of Administration of Shardau University. Perhaps I should suggest that my Majesty recruit more talents like you.

But I have to ask a new question, why did you get involved in this series of events?

A talented reserve scholar and an ambitious vampire lord look like people from two different worlds. "

"The answer to that question is boring."

Miriam walked out of the ruins of the city at this time.

She stood at the foot of the city wall defense line built by Murphy's warriors together with her when the astral disaster broke out, looking back at the silent ruins behind her.

With some kind of silent emotion and silence, she whispered:

"A month and a half ago, when I was preparing for the final exam, I was called back to my hometown by a letter from my father, the village chief, who is a vampire worshiper. He had found the child of a wealthy businessman in Cadman City to become my husband.

When I boarded the steam train leaving Port Chardeau, all I could think about was how to escape this damn fate, but the impermanence of life had prepared a surprise for me that I could never have imagined.

It took away everything I knew!

Then he generously gave me everything new with the help of Lord Murphy. "

"What a blessing."

Major Fraser praised:

"Not just for you, but also for the son of the wealthy businessman who has been buried in the disaster."

"Um?"

Miriam stared at Fraser with evil eyes.

The latter shrugged, and said in a light and even humorous tone:

"I don't think a child educated by an ordinary businessman can suppress an outstanding lady like you in marriage, just as I don't think a blood servant village chief living in Transia can educate an outstanding woman like you. Personality.

Your mother must have been an equally remarkable woman.

What a pity I couldn't visit. "

The major's eyes inadvertently fell on the familiar silver bracelet in Miriam's hand. He squinted his eyes, then smiled and said:

"I look forward to the day when all your potential is discovered. I believe you will be famous in the mainland at that time! Although you chose Transia to display your talents, please don't forget that you are not far away in Anchi. There is a friend like me in the Ru area who I don’t know very well, but at least I can talk to him.

Of course, if you have a second plan for your life, then I can guarantee in the name of the Cape family that the Plantagenet Kingdom can provide it for you."

"No, thank you for your kindness, no matter what the reason for your invitation."

Miriam nodded to Major Fraser very appropriately.

But she refused without hesitation:

"I have chosen my own monarch, and his ambition and his will will shape the direction of my life, just as you have your king and I have my lord. Mr. Fraser, you are a true gentleman.

So when you need a second choice in life, please don't forget that you also have a friend like me in Transia who can generously arrange a security job for you.

I believe that with your talents, you will definitely become the best security personnel on this earth.

none of them! "

"Ha ha ha ha"

Such a pungent response made the major freeze on the spot and then laughed loudly. Miriam also chuckled and prepared to say goodbye.

But the next moment, Major Fraser made a unique gesture. He took out his exquisite dwarf trench gun and handed it to Miriam with both hands in a serious manner. He said:

"The ancient nobles in Transia had this custom before the First Black Disaster. They would give their valued friends weapons that could protect them as the beginning of friendship.

You and I both know the news about the coming black disaster. Dame Miriam, I believe you will need this 'Hammer Guard' more than I do. "

"I really need it. My hometown still doesn't give me much sense of security, but it's not rude to come and go."

Miriam did not refuse, but took out the scarlet gun from her psychic bag and handed it to Major Fraser.

She whispered:

"Political factors aside, you are indeed a good alumnus. I hope it will protect you as well as it protects me."

Major Fraser took over the exquisite vampire-style six-wheel gun with a strange look in his eyes.

He inspected this fine weapon and said:

"In the past, the school girls would give me roses with a shy look, but now the school girls give me pistols with seriousness. Well, it seems that the students of my Grand Chardeau Artisan University are still full of martial virtue.

Does it have a name? "

he asked.

Miriam rolled her eyes, turned around, climbed onto the horse led by the guards, and said:

"It's just a weapon. It doesn't need a name. Major, read less third-rate chivalry novels. The style of romantic chivalry is no longer suitable for this era.

Good night to you.

I also wish you a safe journey home. "

After saying that, Dame Miriam left the ruins of the city and disappeared into the night, escorted by four camp guards.

Major Fraser watched his outstanding and dashing schoolgirl leave. He glanced at the exquisite handgun in his hand, shrugged, and said to this exquisite, gloomy and gorgeous weapon:

“Then, my safety will be entrusted to you from now on, Miss Miriam.

Please allow me to end tonight's conversation by borrowing the mantra of the strange Lord Paliano, well, what a beautiful thing the proud rose born on the dark earth is. "
