Section 9 Neighbors

It's really just that? Of course, Ashu Rufate wouldn't believe it so simply. But since the other party said that, why did he have to ask the bottom line?

"For example, this afternoon, the two Crazy Horse Gang guys came here to test it out." Because there were no other guests at this time, Rotia poured himself a glass of amber blended wine. "To be honest, because there were no various taxes, the girls on this street were very wealthy. This area is the territory that those people dream of getting."

"Aren't they afraid of that blood-colored rose?"

"This is what is called "wind of profit". Isn't there a saying that 'man is dead for money'? The Crazy Horse Gang appeared in the commercial zone recently. It is said that the boss is a bit of a background and a little trick. They have only risen in the past two years, and they have a piece of land in the commercial zone, which is considered the number one person. But they are ambitious and want to challenge areas that others dare not enter... But then again, if they want to further expand their power, then it is indeed a shortcut to develop towards us. Of course, it is too bold to attack in one go, so they want to use this method of temptation and provocation to find the bottom line of the bloody rose, or simply set up a trap to sow the bloody rose into it. Haha..." She held the wine glass in her hand and sneered.

"Is there anything funny? According to me, there is only one person in Bloody Rose, while other gangs have a large group of people. Even if it is a strong person, there is always a certain chance to deal with a person. After all, no matter how strong a person is, he cannot deal with weapons such as muskets and crossbows. On the contrary, for a gang, the possibility of opportunism is very low."

"Ashu Rufat, you are talking about a kind of 'ordinary logic'. But are the gangs driven away by the Blood-colored Rose all fools? Even if they can't find the hiding place of the Blood-colored Rose, don't they know how to set traps? Even if they sacrifice a high-level leader, it should be worth it if they can destroy a strong enemy. But all their efforts are in vain. There are rumors that the Blood-colored Rose is a special person. She not only has superb skills, but also has powerful magical abilities."

"Just kidding." Although Ashu Rufat said this, he was also surprised.

"It's just a legend." Rotia took a sip of wine and replied. "By the way, Ashurufat, what are you doing here? It doesn't look like you are here to do business, or on a business trip, or even more like a tourist."

"One of my elders has found a position here for me," said Ashu Rufate.

"What kind of position?" Rotia gently buckled her fingers on the wine glass, looking at the other person with an interesting expression. I don't know if it was an illusion or an objective fact, but Ashu Rufate felt that this woman was always trying to tease her. But he was not sure if this was a test.

"Court Guard." Ash Rufate replied.

"Court Guard? This is a pretty good position. No wonder you want to find a place to live here. The palace barracks are full... The best choice for newly added guards is indeed here."

"Wait, after saying so much, I almost forgot my original purpose." At this time, Ashu Rufate remembered his original purpose. "About renting a house."

"Ah, this, it's really a coincidence that I have a suitable house here." Rotia replied. "Just behind my store, there is a house. It's an apartment with a total of fifteen rooms. The rent price should be more appropriate. Anyway, with the salary of the court guards, there is definitely no problem. If you asked me half a day earlier, you can choose."

"Ah, what about now?"

"There is only the last room now." Rotia replied.

"How much is the rent?" Although Ashu Rufate didn't care about this matter, he felt it was necessary to raise it. After all, no one likes to be a sucker.

"I remember that the court guards are on duty every two or three days." Rotia took a sip of wine again and looked at Ashu Rufate ambiguously. "To be honest, rent is just a trivial matter, but in fact I am willing to not collect rent. In contrast, I hope that Mr Ashu Rufate can promise me something."

"What kind of thing?"

"How about coming here to help maintain order when Mr. Asu Ruffat is not on duty?" said Rotia. "Of course, it is definitely not for you to show up and patrol the streets. It is just that when there is a difficult situation, you can help 'stabilize' the order. In this way, even your colleagues can't give any advice." Rotia drank all the wine in her glass, leaning her left arm against the counter, and her whole body was obliquely slanted.

At Ash Rufate, a hazy glow flashed in her three-point drunken eyes. The dim light in the store at this time made her instantly full of mysterious temptation and teasing the male instincts***-even though she did not make any frivolous moves at this time. "You must know that although the Blood Rose is very powerful, we cannot rely entirely on her, right? Besides, no one can figure out what her real motive is now."

"Why choose me to do this? I look amazing?"

"It's probably because of the woman's intuition." Rotia replied. "My intuition is very accurate. Mr. Asu Ruffatt looks so kind and polite... but he probably can't even count the people he killed in his hand."

This sentence made Ash Rufate's body stiffen for a moment.

"I have been a mercenary." Ashu Rufate said something inexplicably.

"So did Mr. Asu Ruffat agree?" Rotia smiled. "The apartment is in the second building behind the store, a two-story apartment with the stairs outside, which is easy to distinguish. Just go over and say to the doorkeeper, and it is my introduction. He will give you the key."

...

As Rotia said just now, this is a house that is easy to find. The trouble is that this woman just now and the deal reached with this woman. However, Ashu Rufate thought carefully and felt that the benefits of agreeing to this agreement would outweigh the disadvantages. If it really doesn't work, it should be fine if he wants to change his residence, at most it is just a little further away.

The doorkeeper was an old man who was tall and thin like a bamboo pole. Ashurufat got the key from him and then came to his room. Rotia's recommendation was indeed correct, and this room was much better than he expected. The whole room was very spacious, including the bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room and toilet. More importantly, the room was well decorated, with almost all kinds of household equipment, and even enough to match the luxurious room level of the hotel.

Ashu Rufat only needs to buy a small amount of personal goods tomorrow to use this place as his residence for the next year. Even if someone visits Brassian, he can entertain them in this room without looking shabby.

Ashrufate lay on the bed. The bed currently only has mattresses and no quilts, but it is also very comfortable to lie on. In fact, he did not need to lie down at all, but perhaps because of the recovery from his injury, he now likes to lie down and think about problems.

Before leaving for Eagle City, Ashu Rufate didn't think too much. Anyway, he just took on the position of a queen's personal guard who would hardly have too many problems. He just needed to stay in a low profile for a year and then got the title of knight - the matter seemed to be that simple. Now, when he thought about it in hindsight, he thought it was too simple. If the matter was really that simple, Aunt Mary would not give him two choices when she mentioned this matter.

Before him, several suitable candidates came to serve as the guard, and they all died. Although Scadra did not explain in detail, some things did not need to be explained in detail. Before meeting this respectable court supervisor, Ashurufat felt that the political changes should not be related to a small personal guard, but it seems that this position is not only related to a lot, but also a lot. Otherwise, why are there only two personal guards who should have been eight?

But since you have come, you can't just retreat like this... In fact, it's not just the crisis of this position, but there is another hidden crisis in Eagle Falcon City, that is, the current Regent, Duke Byron. When I was in Brassian, Ashu Ruffat had already defeated him once. Of course, even the Regent in a place like Brassian did not have much influence, but it was not the same thing in Eagle Falcon City. If the Duke knew that Ashu Ruffat had also come to Eagle Falcon City... Even an idiot could think of this.

It is precisely because of this that Aunt Mary emphasized "low-key, low-key, and low-key". With the regent's daily affairs, I'm afraid there is no time to pay attention to a small, insignificant personal guard candidate. After all, he has never met Ash Rufate, and he only knows his name best.

Anyway, the future looks far less relaxed than expected. Ashu Rufate sighed lightly.

At this time, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairs. It seemed that one of his neighbors had returned. Judging from the frequency and location of the footsteps, the neighbor was the one next door to Ashurufate. When the janitor gave him the keys, he inadvertently revealed an information to him - in the afternoon, there were two rooms in the apartment building empty (it was exactly the room where Ashurufate was and the room next door), but a guest also came before Ashurufate arrived. And like Ashurufate's situation, this guest was also introduced by Rotia.

To be honest, Ashu Rufate really wants to meet this neighbor. Perhaps from this neighbor, he can get more information about the mysterious homeowner Rotia. Even if he doesn't get the information, at least he can guess what Rotia wants to do.

So he immediately jumped up and came to the door. Ashu Rufate pushed the door open and went out when the neighbor arrived at his door.

"Ah!" the other party screamed. "Isn't this Ash Rufate? Why are you here?"

"Ajin?" This time, even Ashu Rufat was greatly surprised.

The person in front of him was indeed A Jin whom he met during the journey. He almost thought he had admitted his mistake, but then again, a body shape like A Jin could not pretend to be.

A Jin was carrying a huge bag in his hand at this moment, which made him very difficult to lift.

Wait, isn't this house specially used to live in recruited thugs? thugs? That's right, this word appropriately describes the meaning of Ash Rufat in Rottiya's eyes at this moment. Ajin... No matter what you think, at least Ajin can't fight.

Ashrufate found that he could not guess the true intention of this woman named Rotia.

"Oh, Ashu Rufat, you live next door to me. Hahaha, from today on, we will be neighbors!"
