Chapter 50 A busy day(1/2)

After figuring out this section, Tligent immediately changed his mind. He stood up with his right hand to stop Ender from continuing: "End, since your teacher is unwilling to let you tell others about his affairs, don't say it again."

Ander's face showed an expression of "I don't know anything, why do you say that?" at the right time.

Looking at Ender's confused look, Telligan felt that he should use his rich life experience to guide the child:

"Your teacher is a top-notch strong man. Although I don't know why he is unwilling to reveal his identity, he must have his own difficulties. If you don't ask casually, Ande."

"I understand, the teacher never tells me about his past." Ander quickly finalized this idea.

"Yes, if he doesn't say it, don't ask." Trigan was very satisfied with Ender's answer. This child has always been well-behaved and never lie, and he will do what he said.

In Trigan's view, if the "Night Demon" fell ill at the Reult Hotel three years ago and had an injury attack, it would mean that he had a powerful enemy that was at least comparable to him.

In addition, after hearing that Ande said until now, he could not confirm the teacher's true appearance.

What does that mean? It means that the "Night Demon" has the ability to change his appearance. Since the Night Demon is so powerful, he carefully keeps his identity in front of the inheritance disciples, which shows that there must be an indescribable hidden secret.

However, no matter what the reason is, the Night Demon definitely did not come to Leicester to kill Defu* Priligy - Defu* Priligy had not come here three years ago.

"Milk tea is here." Bossa walked in with her tray, put her shoulders on the door of the study room.

Trigan and Ender looked at each other, and changed the topic and told some interesting stories. It was not until Betha put down the milk tea and walked out that the two of them turned the topic back.

"And, there is news from Wall Village that you killed thirty thieves alone?"

Ender nodded, and the news reached Tilligan's ears, and he was not surprised at all.

"You did a good job. Your reputation has reached the ears of Lord Baron. The situation is wrong recently. Lord Baron may have put heavy responsibilities on you."

Trigan did not worry about how Ender defeated the thirty thieves. In his opinion, if Ender had enough arrows and opened the distance, it would not be difficult for him to kill the thirty thieves by one person.

"Uncle Trigan, what should I do if I don't want to be called?" Ender was a little upset.

"End, joining the army is the right way to get military merits. Why don't you want to serve the lord?" Tilligan was a little puzzled. Although the guard hunter was already a good position for people of the age of Ender, this was still worse than directly serving the baron.

"Uncle Trigan, I survived all the time by your help and Aunt Reult's intake. When I was almost starving to death, I didn't eat a piece of bread with Lord Lord."

As he said, Ander said lightly, while looking at Trigan with gratitude.

As Ender grew up day by day, the more people he had met, the more he knew how rare the selfless assistance of Tligan and his friends were.

"You are not a free citizen and have no right to refuse the lord's recruitment. And you can only climb up if you serve the baron." Telligan shook his head. In his opinion, Ender's resentment was unnecessary. The lord was the ruler of the nobles, and he was not a good church. This was the case with the nobles in the world.

"But I just don't want to." Ander rarely showed his stubborn childishness, which made Trigan both angry and funny.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you. If you really don't want to be recruited, then I'll give you a name in the town guard first. If someone comes to you, you'll say you are my guard."

As the deputy captain of the town guard, Telligan still has this privilege.

"Thank you uncle." Ander breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Ende, can you contact your teacher these two days?"

"Not necessarily, the teacher comes to me every time, and I don't know where the teacher lives."

"If you can contact your teacher, tell him that you must be careful when the lord counselor meets him this time." Telligan said solemnly.

"Thank you uncle, I will find a way to tell the teacher." Ander nodded vigorously.

Although Ender didn't know why the lord adviser was causing trouble for him, since Tilligan said so solemnly, he would naturally not be aimless.

————————————

After leaving Tligan's house, Ander first returned to the Reult Hotel to meet the Reultes and his wife. After saying a few words, put down his luggage, he went to Corey and Lerera's house for a trip.

However, due to the unsafe territory, Corey and Lerela both led their subordinates to travel outside and were not at home.

Ender could only leave the gift to their butler for handing over.

There are many specialties in Wall Village at hand, some sent by his hunters, some sent by the village chief Tashi and two village elders - the operation of giving gifts and pulling relationships is not only Chinese.

After running like this, Ender had no time to do anything other than going to Mr. Philip for a deposit and asking him to send someone to help renovate the Hunter's Lodge.

After coming out of Philip's timber shop, the sky was getting darker, and Ander walked towards the Reult Hotel.

There are few customers in the Reult Hotel today, and both the guests and the guys in the hotel look worried.

In the past, there were many people in the hall, but today there were only a dozen guests, and even the bards who performed harp on the stage were weak.

The content of the chat between guests is mostly related to the territorial form.

"I heard that this time it was seven or eight thieves attacking Leicester territory together."

"Well, it is said that six villages were attacked, and Veeron's caravan was also robbed, and it is said that they suffered heavy losses."

"Isn't that nearly half of the territory being attacked? There must be big shots behind this, otherwise these thieves wouldn't be so united."

"It's not just Viron, it is said that the business roads leading to other territories are completely broken, and only the waterways can still go."

"The waterway can only lead to Grae City. Why don't we go to Grae City to take a evasion first?"

"How to go? Now all the ships at the dock are controlled by the Baron. Can you get a warrant from the Baron?"

"Huh—no matter what, we must find a way to leave early. If a territory war occurs and the lord has the right to requisition all resources in the territory, it will be troublesome."

"—It is said that the newly opened Fred Chamber of Commerce in the town will have a way. Let's go and see it tomorrow?"

"Well, that's all. If it still doesn't work, we will unite and hire mercenaries at a high price to send us away!"

Even though he was separated by the floor on the second floor, Ander could still hear the conversation between the guests downstairs.

These merchants who traveled around the world were all ready to escape, which shows that the situation in the territory this time was much more serious than what Ander thought.

"Ron, Porto, Ender, what do you think?" Aunt Reult's voice sounded opposite Ender, bringing Ender's attention back to the dining table.

Everyone was having supper, and the Reulters were talking about whether to sell the newly expanded high-end hostel area to the newly established Fred Chamber of Commerce.

The president of the Fred Chamber of Commerce is a middle-aged man named Khruf, who looks very graceful. He came to the door a few days ago and gave a good price, which made the Reulters a little moved.

Porto shook his head: "Mom, I don't think we should sell it to him. There are no more houses around our hotel that we are willing to sell. After this place is sold, it will be difficult for us to expand the hostel."

"Also, it took us half a year to build it up and sell it before we even started business."

Porto, the second son of the Reulter's family, voted against it.

"Ron, what about your opinion?" Mr. Reult asked his eldest son.

"I think it's time to sell it." Ron expressed a different opinion.

"Oh, tell me why." Mrs. Reulter asked.

"The Fred Chamber of Commerce has offered a good price, and this is the first; second, the situation in the territory is not good now, so I came back specially to take you to live in Gras City for a while. We have to leave here and be fast, otherwise even with Mr. Telligan's guarantee, our ship may be requisitioned by the Baron."

Ron said seriously.

The Reulters looked at each other, hesitated, and then turned their eyes to the youngest one on the dining table: "End, what do you think?"

Although he had only been away from here for less than ten days, with Ender's deeds, the Reulter no longer regarded his children.

"I also think that it's a good idea to leave Leicester town temporarily, and this time things may not be simple."

It was Ender's idea to buy the high-end area of ​​the Reult Hotel at a high price.

Ender can suppress the Shadow Guild, but it is impossible to suppress the Bluetail Hotel to cause trouble. If the Reult Hotel continues to develop like this, conflicts will be a high probability event - on Earth, Citi, known as the beacon of civilization, the Rockefeller Consortium also sent its subordinates to blow up opponents' oil fields, and the world will only be even darker.

"What do you do?" Mrs. Reult hesitated a little. Everyone could leave, but Ender was not a free citizen and he could not leave the territory legally.

"I have already named the town guard and am considered Uncle Tligan's personal guard. Even if I have something to do, I can still follow Uncle Tligan."

"Ba—then you decide, I'll go to the Fred Chamber of Commerce to sell them tomorrow morning, and we'll set out in the afternoon!"

Mrs. Reulter slapped the table and made a decision.

Lucy Reulter, who is a girl whose parents have both died, has never been a slow-moving person to support a hotel and grow it, and can find a son-in-law for himself.

This kind of courage made Ander stunned.

Over the years, Mrs. Reult has been acting like a kind woman, and Ender really didn't expect that this person would have such a decisive side.

——————————————

Late at night, the wealthy area of ​​Leicester town.

There is a villa here with a new owner, and the newly established president of the Fred Chamber of Commerce lives here.

The eight large candles on the chandelier illuminated the room very brightly. Khruv sat behind the desk to correct documents one by one, and the three assistants were busy helping him process the documents and deliver messages.

In the early stages of the Fred Chamber of Commerce, everything is in progress, and there are many things to deal with, not to mention that the Shadow Guild has just suffered a major blow, and it takes a lot of energy to start a business.

Khruv worked hard - this was his ideal in the first half of his life, but it was not until now that he had the opportunity to take the first step to realize his ideal.

He wants to be a noble! It sounds incredible that a liar from a poor family wants to be a noble.

It is very, very difficult to break through class stratification, but it is not impossible for Khruv, who has mastered a lot of intelligence and experienced many events.

However, under the framework of the Shadow Guild, he was a character who was shaking a white paper fan. Even if he was painstakingly planning to obtain a noble title, he would not enjoy the final result. He could only make wedding dresses for others - the risk of being killed is quite high.

But now, thanks to the death of Defoe Priligy and the appearance of Ender, Khruv has seen an opportunity.

It is impossible for a good thing to be able to use the resources of the Shadow Guild to openly establish one's own independent power in a sound Shadow Guild.

And Ende's existence gave him a protective umbrella, so that he would not have to worry about the violent suppression and plunder of the nobles and could display his ambitions.

This may be the best opportunity in his life.
