Wang Xiaoming of Lucifer

"Sincerity of what?"

"The sincerity of gift-giving." Carter helped explain, "Baron Edward has a relative in the Imperial Capital—Earl Joyce. Every year on Earl Joyce's birthday, Baron Edward will send gifts to him."

"Isn't it?" Ke Lin asked very puzzled, "How long will it take to get to the emperor from here?" Du Jun is in the southeast of the Leiyan Empire, and the Imperial Capital is in the northwest of the empire. Although Ke Lin has never run by himself, But no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit far away.

"For ordinary people, it takes four months to get there by horseback, and six months by horse-drawn carriage." Carter didn't know why Ke Lin didn't even have such a concept, but he still explained to him, "If you bring goods, look at the weight of the goods. to ten months."

"..." Obviously, it only takes a few seconds to go through the teleportation array, "A year is not enough time for him to go back and forth, right?"

"Of course I'll come back from the teleportation array after sending it off." Keynes said, "Otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the second year."

"It's really troublesome." Colin made such an evaluation, "This baron's son, doesn't he have anything else to do?"

"Having a good relationship with the earl is the most important thing for him." "What can this kind of person do?" Keynes and Carter returned together.

"..." Colin had nothing to say.

"Shouldn't you accept this mission?" Although Baron Edward's missions always paid a lot of money, Keynes still avoided them whenever he could.

"It's just a trip to the imperial capital, and you don't need to go there yourself." Carter persuaded, "And this time the baron has increased the price."

"Then it's even more unacceptable." Keynes rejected the proposal without saying a word.

Seeing this, Carter had to give up this mission with a little regret.

No one expected that a few days later, Baron Edward came to the door in person, and closed the door with Keynes and Carter for half an hour.

Half an hour later, Carter sent the Baron Celtic out of the station with a bad face, and then turned around and called out the names of a few people, asking them to prepare and set off with the convoy of Baron Edward's family tomorrow.

Colin, who happened to be present at the time, heard the news and chased Carter who was about to leave.

"Karta." Colin stopped Carter and asked with a frown, "Did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal." Carter shook his head, "You heard the details just now."

"But didn't Keynes say he would not accept this mission?" Colin asked worriedly, "Did the baron threaten you?"

"It's not a threat." Carter sighed, "You don't care about this kind of thing."

"But..." Colin hesitated for a moment, then changed his words, "I'll go talk to Keynes."

After speaking, Colin ran away quickly, without even giving Carter a chance to speak.

When Colin ran to the room where Cairns lived alone, he found that he hadn't even closed the door, but was sitting by the table alone as if thinking about something.

"Keynes?" Colin called out to him in a low voice, afraid of disturbing Keynes's thinking.

"Huh?" Hearing someone calling his name, Keynes turned his head and looked outside the door. After realizing that it was Colin, he smiled at him, "What's the matter?"

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Colin thought that Keynes would be angry.

Keynes beckoned to Colin: "Are you worried about me?"

"No." Colin frowned and thought for a while, "I just asked Carter if you were threatened."

"It doesn't count." Keynes gave Carter the same answer.

"That's it!" Colin sat down opposite Cairns and said with certainty, "What did he tell you?"

"It's not a big deal." Keynes tried to change the subject again.

"We're still friends!" Colin asked, staring at Keynes dissatisfied.

Keynes had never thought about this question, so he didn't know how to answer it.

"Forget it." Colin knew Keynes's answer when he saw Keynes's reaction. After dropping these two words, he got up and wanted to leave.

Keynes quickly reached out and took his hand: "I didn't say we're not friends, I'm just a little, um... flattered?"

Colin turned to look at Keynes and believed his words: "Then, what did the baron tell you?"

"Don't say nothing!" Colin added.

"After all, he is our lord here." Cairns replied without answering.

"Then..." In the matter of the lord's territory, even the Duke of Scarlet can't intervene in name, so Colin can only give up his original idea, "Then how about I support you? You just say that you have received Duke Scarlet temporarily." The mission, do you want the entire mercenary group to set off?"

"No need." Keynes shook his head with a smile, "It's really just a trivial matter, and there is no need to make such a huge effort."

"Then..." Colin thought for a while, and then said, "Then I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Keynes subconsciously wanted to reject Colin's proposal, but before he could say anything, Colin started to stare at him, "Okay, okay, I'll take you with me."

"Well, it's settled!" Colin, who received a satisfactory answer, smiled and assured Cairns, "Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let them bully you!"

"En." Keynes said with some confusion about whether to laugh or cry.

After the goal was achieved, Colin left with a smile, leaving only Keynes sighing helplessly in the room.Keynes couldn't bear to be friends with Duke Scarlett's son and let him support him, let alone refuse.

To be honest, picking out any of these two things would be much more troublesome than escorting the son of the Baron's family.

Early the next morning, Keynes led Colin and eight others to arrive outside the baron's mansion on time. After spending about half a day in the garden of the baron's home, Baron Edward's eldest son, Kemp Edward, finally took his time. came out of the castle.

"I didn't expect my father to ask you to escort me this time." Kemp Edward glanced at the people of the Yanwo mercenary group, and said with disdain, "Can your mercenary group really protect me?" ?”

After saying this, Camp Edward didn't give anyone a chance to reply, so he turned to his personal servant and said, "Let's go."

After the servant responded respectfully, he helped Kemp Edward into the most luxurious carriage in the group of carriages.

Keynes turned around without being surprised, hugged Colin's waist, and carried him to the shaft of another carriage. He walked around the two horses pulling the cart in front and sat on the shaft from the other side.

"I admit, you're right." Colin said to Keynes sullenly.
