"Everyone in the shadow of the moon, this should be our first time meeting." Opelin said with a chuckle.

"You are a very famous team of adventurers in the Maple Moon Territory. You have made so many contributions over the years. Until today, I have the opportunity to express my thanks in person. This is my dereliction of duty as a lord."

"The Duke is serious." Monica hurriedly stood up and said. "Adventurers only use money to do things, and there is nothing to contribute or not to contribute."

"Having said that, taking risks and fighting monsters all the year round, the merits you have left are far from being worth a little reward." Opelin said.

"When I was a little girl, I liked the story of the adventurer hero Tan the most, and now the living hero is standing in front of me, it really makes me very happy!"

The mature and elegant woman suddenly pretended to be innocent, and her ecstatic wink suddenly flashed with a girlish look of worship, and Monica was completely stunned.

"It's so beautiful." The body involuntarily swallowed and spit, just like that, completely giving up the dominance of the words.

"I heard that you are about to be promoted to orchids rank recently. As the lord, I also want to celebrate for you. I originally wanted to hold a celebration feast for you. But thinking that adventurers dare to live and die all day long, it is still practical, so I specially A weapon is made for each of you, including two magical equipment." Opelin took Monica's hand.

"A little thought, please accept it."

"This, this is inappropriate."

"Please don't refuse, this is specially made for you, even if you don't need it, throw it away."

"Gu, okay." Looking at the expectant eyes of the other party, Monica really didn't know how to refuse.

What a horrible woman!The moment she agreed, Monica felt remorse in her heart.

It is because of this that she dare not see Operin, and she is not a match for ten Opperin who can fight. However, the duchess who has played with psychology and power, and who has been mediating the power field for many years as a woman, does not know the difference. How much higher is the level of the adventurer.

Monica looked back at the boy who brought her here with resentful eyes. The other party was drinking juice, biting the rim of the glass, and looking at her innocently.

Looking at such a picturesque scene, coupled with the pure expression of the beautiful boy, Monica couldn't get angry all of a sudden.

"It's really interesting." Aya watched the whole conversation between Opelin and Monica with the mentality of watching the show. In just a few words, Monica got the promise of the Duchess's equipment, but it seemed that " Lost" Opelin was happier.

This is the special status of high-level adventurers. As a powerful armed group that cannot be completely controlled, they are the throat of those in power, but at the same time, the force of adventurers is necessary to maintain the security of the territory.

Love and hate, such a contradiction is a portrayal of the relationship between adventurers and those with power.

In this tangled situation, there are roughly two options for adventurers, especially high-level adventurers above Mithril rank.

One is to actively establish relationships with those in power, to help them consolidate their regime and get help from the other party and facilitate their actions; the other is what Monica wants to do, try to avoid contact with those in power as much as possible and maintain her independence. .

The purpose of this is to avoid getting into trouble and danger - to give a recent example, after the blood emperor of the Bahas Empire, Gilchonifr, ascended the throne, he ruthlessly destroyed two adventures that were closely related to the great nobles in the country. Squad.

The members of the two adventurer squads got along smoothly when the nobles gained power, and the new emperor was executed or exiled as soon as he took office the second day.

Political struggles are so brutal that they can become the victim of engulfment if they are not careful.

Of course, when it comes to the level of the fine-steel adventurer, all this is different. The national treasure-grade fine-steel adventurer is the existence that any country desires. They are not afraid of the whirlpool of politics, because they themselves are countries. level of violence.

However, Moon Shadow is not a steel-grade adventurer, and now he has been forcibly pulled on a pirate ship because he accepted Opelin's banquet and gifts.

If it's just a banquet, it's fine, but it involves receiving gifts or high-value magic equipment. Even if you don't agree with it, in the eyes of the outside world, you are already companions.

Moreover, Monica and her companions are not the kind of people who can accept the benefits given by others without repayment.

The so-called sweet trap is probably like this.

Monica had thought that Opelin would win over them, but she didn't expect to do it so decisively.

"It's not that there is no solution." Monica thought, "As long as you return it with property or money of the same value later, you can barely get rid of the debt of gratitude."

Although the magic items are expensive, they can still be paid with the income level of the Mithril team, so they should be bought in advance.

"She should be thinking, she can return the money to repay the favor." Aya looked at Monica's profile and shook her head silently. "Oh, too young, too naive."

Having dealt with the Moon Shadow as planned, Opelin turned his attention back to his daughter.

"Mom, mom, that." Angelia lowered her head, this eldest lady who always pretended to be arrogant and domineering in front of outsiders, is now just a little girl who made a mistake.

"Everyone, please go to the living room to rest first, we will be there later." Opelin said. "Lena, bring the guests over."

"Understood." The housekeeper bowed.

"Lina, come with me first~" With her expression still gentle and elegant, Opelin smiled and stopped the eldest lady who was trying to sneak into the living room after Lena.

"Lina, your performance was poor today. It seems that I need to punish you."

Chapter 50 Missy Dresses

Operin took her daughter to her bedroom, where she sat on the bed, rubbing her swollen heels from walking in high heels, and asked Angelina.

"Lina, explain it." Putting away the smile that was in response to the guests, Opelin frowned.

"Didn't I tell you to wear an evening dress?"

"I haven't worn those shoes for a long time, and I accidentally broke the heel." Angelina lowered her head, and tapped the index fingers of both hands on her chest, looking extremely aggrieved.

The girl is now wearing casual clothes, which is also her daily attire when she goes to school in the Bajas Empire, and is designed for the purpose of exercising.

This dress is not ugly. With Angelina's youthful and beautiful posture, as long as the clothes are not too bad, nothing will be ugly.However, according to the strict etiquette requirements of the nobles, this casual dress does not conform to the dress etiquette for a formal dinner.
