Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

On the day of the alliance meeting, Aldrich and Noah went to the lobby of the alliance headquarters.

The hall is in the center of Cuibian City. It is magnificent, spacious and luxurious. The center is the position of the leader of the alliance. With him as the center, representatives of other kingdoms and their followers are surrounded on three sides.The full name of the Northern Alliance is the Northern Representative House and the Alliance of 23 Kingdoms. There are 23 member states in total. In the early days, a small kingdom was destroyed. Now there are only 22 left. The most eye-catching and largest is the Suha Kingdom. , the Kingdom of Abibe, and the Kingdom of the Holy Tower.

The Suha Kingdom has a short history, but there are three people who have played a significant role in the development of the Suha Kingdom.One is the adventurer Job Garcia a hundred years ago. It was he who turned the tide in the beast tide. After the establishment of the Northern Alliance, the status of the Suha Kingdom was also different, and he made huge profits from it.The second is the original Lord of the White Tower, another legendary magician. With the White Tower standing in Cuibian City, the power of the church developed slowly, and the surrounding kingdoms did not dare to invade rashly.The third is the founder of the Merchant Labor Union. He raised the status of merchants, not only encouraged the circulation of materials and made production more successful, but also accelerated the destruction of the old and decaying aristocratic system.The current president of the Merchant Union is Earl Degar. Under his leadership, the economy of the Suha Kingdom has become more and more prosperous. Therefore, after a hundred years, it is the Suha Kingdom that most wants to get out of the Northern Alliance.

Today's Northern Alliance can no longer help the Kingdom of Suha, but instead is a drag on the Kingdom of Suha, which is developing faster and faster.Precisely because of the existence of the Northern Alliance, which protected the survival rights and economic systems of the surrounding small countries, the Kingdom of Suha was restrained.

If the Northern Alliance did not exist, Suha Kingdom would have already acquired the surrounding small kingdoms.

Aldridge has a very objective evaluation of this: "It's nothing more than picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold your mother. It was because of the existence of the alliance that the Suha Kingdom's commercial system throughout the north was perfected, and the merchant union developed. It is also completely benefited from the traffic arteries and information previously constructed by the Adventurers Alliance..."

"What does Count Degar think about this?" Noah asked.

Earl Degar has a special status. He is not only the president of the Merchant Guild, but also one of the investors of the Adventurers Alliance, and a nobleman of the Suha Kingdom.

Evelia said: "Of course my father hopes to completely integrate the Northern Alliance. Being the earl of the entire alliance is better than being the earl of a kingdom."

Noah looked at her: "Are you coming to the meeting too?"

Evelia is wearing a full dress this time, a long black dress, which is gorgeous and grand, with a strong momentum.Noah suddenly found that he seemed to have never seen Evelia wearing the same clothes, each piece was carefully tailored and had a unique temperament.

Behind her was a follower and a magister, not the one with Count Degar before.

"How much money I spent in fighting the beast horde determines my position in the meeting." Evelia blinked at him: "Will Noah sit with me, so that I can observe the group of nobles furiously at a close distance?" look."

Noah politely refused: "There is no place for me behind you."

Aldrich also said: "You are still from the Suha Kingdom. With you in this meeting, the Suha Kingdom will be much easier to deal with."

Evelia giggled, and said to Aldrich meaningfully: "Then you have to seize the opportunity!"

She walked away briskly, and she sat in the front seat of Suha Kingdom, and greeted Noah with a smile when she was seated.Her youth and beauty seemed out of place in this group of middle-aged bald nobles, but because of the two followers behind her, everyone treated her with courtesy.Even if she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to let Evelia see it.

After all, there are still many people here who owe money to Degal Bank.

In addition to the Suha Kingdom, there are also the Kingdom of Abibe and the Kingdom of Santa. The Kingdom of Abibe is a place with flat development. There has been no war for decades, and it was tepid until the outbreak of the beast tide. The monsters were blocked outside the Kingdom of Abibe for several months and could not break in. Only then did everyone in the alliance realize that the Kingdom of Abibe had already possessed a strength that cannot be underestimated.

The Kingdom of the Holy Tower is unswervingly a church country in the alliance, so it is very unpopular with other kingdoms, but the Kingdom of the Holy Tower has a long history, rich heritage, and strong aggressiveness, and other kingdoms do not dare to provoke it at will.

So this happened a lot in previous league meetings:

Suha Kingdom: Santa Kingdom, what are you doing?Clean up the heretics?Tell me who is a heretic?

Holy Tower Kingdom: ...Accidental injury.

Kingdom of Abibe: It's okay, I welcome all believers.

Suha Kingdom: What are you doing in the Kingdom of Santa?Tear up the agreement?Blocking trade routes?Do you still want to play?

Santa Kingdom: ...that was an accident.

Kingdom of Abibe: It's okay, welcome to do business with me!

Suha Kingdom: Have you finished the Kingdom of Santa?What are you doing sneaking around my border?

Santa Kingdom: Just look at the scenery...

Kingdom of Abibe: Welcome to the Frontier Alliance!

Other Kingdoms: Kingdom of Santa, what do you want to do?You must give me an account of what happened yesterday!

Santa Kingdom: Go!Say something to my disciplinary knights and holy soldiers!

Kingdom of Abibe: Hehe.

But after this meeting, the status between them should have changed.The representative of the Kingdom of Abibe was Prime Minister Sharp who came to visit a few days ago. He originally wanted to see Aldrich's attitude, but was easily dismissed by Aldrich that day.

When Aldridge entered the hall, Sharp kept watching them.To Sharp's surprise, Aldrich also brought the little lover from the garden.Noah was wearing a simple priest robe, short curly black hair, slightly round eyes, soft outline, not aggressive at all, and looked much younger than his actual age.In fact, he is a few years older than the mature and reliable Aldridge.

After taking his seat, Aldridge asked Noah to sit next to him, and Noah sat down calmly under the eyes of everyone who was puzzled and surprised. He never cared about other people's eyes.

Noah took Aldrich's hand and asked him to sit down too. After Aldrich sat down, Noah did not let go.

The five fingers of the two touched, and Aldridge didn't react at first, but then suddenly realized that he froze there, not even noticing when the meeting started.

Noah took his hand and looked at his reaction tentatively. Aldrich sat upright, his jaw stretched out into a cold curve, and he looked ahead sharply, thinking of a carefully carved statue.The little noble from an unknown kingdom in front of him was so frightened, and he didn't know what he did wrong, so he lowered his head obediently.

In fact, Aldrich was the one who was frightened, he felt his palms were very hot, and Noah's hand rested on his palms, and all the sensations were in the part where the skin was connected.Noah's hands were smaller than his, and the skin was soft. He couldn't help but wonder if his hands were sweating, how long had passed, should he hold them, and think of a way! ... His heart was beating like a drum. Although the two had actually had closer contact, they often slept on the same bed and wore the same pair of pants, but Aldrich knew that this was different.

Just when he was hesitating, Noah's hand was gently pulled away.

Aldrich heaved a sigh of relief, but also felt lost.

After the meaningless greetings and wrangling in the early stage of the meeting, Grand Duke Idi, the representative of Suha Kingdom, pointed the finger at Aldrich.

"The contract signed with the Beast Empire is full of injustices. It can be imagined that His Excellency Aldrich took advantage of the crisis of the Northern Alliance to conspire with the Beast Empire to divide up the benefits..."

"When the beast tide just broke out, Aldrich deliberately attacked the lord of Dawn City in order to control the military power. That poor nobleman had already died in the mouth of the monster. It is not difficult to see that this is exactly Aldrich's conspiracy..."

"Aldrich's background is low, and he is not qualified to sit here and give rewards..."

"The war is over, Lord Aldrich should also disband the army in his hands..."

What they said was nothing more than a few points, and Aldridge turned to Noah and said, "Look, it's not interesting."

"You're being bullied," Noah said.

"They can't bully me." Aldridge shrugged, he looked at Noah's hand unconsciously, then stood up, and said loudly to the others: "It's a pleasure to sit here and talk with you, since everyone Didn't die in the beast swarm, it means that luck is good, unlike the poor city lord of Dawn City, who bears the brunt of death in the face of the beast swarm, he took the lead and led the army to fight back against the beast swarm, he is a real soldier, he died on the battlefield, for everyone How can you slander the warrior who sacrificed his life for the safety of the city. How can you slander him for dying in a dirty conspiracy. We should pay a silent tribute to the lord of Dawn City, and remember his spirit and dedication.”

Noah knew that he was talking nonsense as soon as he heard it, and Evelia smiled. If she listened to this with her eyes closed, she would think it was Noah who said it.

Aldrich bowed his head in silence, followed by Noah and Evelia, and the leader also bowed his head. Seeing this, the others had to follow him to bow their heads.

The whole venue was so quiet for a moment.

Aldridge completely grasped the rhythm, and then it was completely his home court.

"The war is not over yet..."

"The beast horde is a victory for mankind, and also a victory for the Northern Alliance. Afterwards, we should strengthen the connection between the kingdoms in the alliance. Any attempt to destroy the alliance..."

"Although I was born with status, I still have the qualifications to fight for the Northern Alliance. Anyone has such qualifications..."

Grand Duke Idi, the representative of the Kingdom of Suha, was no match for Aldrich at all, and he was beaten back and forth after being sprayed. Evelia beside him was very happy to watch, and even applauded uncontrollably.
