"Thank you Lord Lord for your kindness. It's just that the incident happened suddenly and we didn't prepare a gift. Can you give us half a day's grace? Let us make preparations?" The halfling leader adopted a delaying strategy. "Okay, today at noon, I will be in the manor preparing a banquet for you. We will see you later." Gavin agreed readily, then turned around and left neatly. As he walked, he wondered whether he had any personnel suitable for diplomacy. In the future, you can't let yourself run away with this kind of thing. But after thinking about it, I didn't think of one. Since taking over the Vizeme Manor, he seems to have a lot of subordinates in his hands, but after careful calculation, none of them are normal at all. The only one who can take action is the young priest Anna, but her temperament is too simple and she is not suitable for this kind of work. Yes, we can only take one step at a time. Gavin's move was neat and tidy, but the halfling's move was a bit difficult. The halfling leader looked at the other five companions and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
"What can you say? Like you, we have just arrived here, and our information about this place is still limited to last summer." "Then shall we keep the appointment or not?" "Of course we have to keep the appointment. If what the other party said is true and we don't keep the appointment, our summer residence this year will have to change." "But Weizeme Manor is now a famous ghost manor and is being haunted. Who knows if the problems there have been completely solved." "It should be settled. Didn't you see that I chose noon very thoughtfully? There is no way for you to attend the appointment at night or midnight." "Let's do this. Let's make multiple preparations. The matter of the Xiaqi chain of ships will be postponed until we have completely determined the situation here. It won't be too late. The troops were divided into two groups and followed me all the way to the manor for an appointment to investigate the situation. On the other hand, Erorika acted alone. Didn't you say that you have fey friends here? They should be very aware of the situation here. " The halfling leader made a decision quickly. Elorika's face was full of helplessness, and she spread her hands and said: "I can only say try this matter. It's not like you don't know about the escape of fairies. In the past, they were the ones who came to me. I want to find them." , it’s very difficult. Whether they still live here or not is still a question!” "No matter what, let's give it a try first. The rest of you, follow me back to prepare gifts, and don't be late for the appointment." The halfling leader thought for a while, and finally added, "Wait a while, go and arrive alone." Please ask for more holy water from Pastor Anranka. Forget it, I’ll go there in person for this matter. It’s best if we ask Pastor Anranka to accompany us.” Wezemay Manor is now known to be haunted. Even though Gavin arranged the banquet at noon, these halflings were still a little worried. Even though these halflings are only half the height of humans, their movement efficiency is not as high as usual. A small cart of river fish was soon gathered, each one longer than their bodies. There were still six halflings heading to Vizeme Manor, but the druid named Elorika was replaced by A priest named Anranka. "Wait!" When they were about to arrive at the gate of Vizeme Manor, the priest from Anranka suddenly stopped. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the manor?" "Isn't this place still haunted?" "But it's noon!" The other five halflings were startled and asked repeatedly.
"No, don't make blind guesses." The halfling priest shook his head and said, "I seem to feel the holy breath of our Lord. Maybe there are church members here. If that is the case, you don't need to worry about ghosts. You guys walk slowly in the back, I’ll go to the front to check on the situation.” "Believers of Ilmat? If this is the case, then this will be the best news I have heard today." "Master Priest, please do as you please." Several other halflings couldn't help but look happy on their faces. Rather than dealing with ghosts, they would rather choose living people, even evil ones. As long as their greedy desires are satisfied, most of them will not persecute them, but ghosts are different, they will not be reasonable at all. Pastor Anranka, who trotted all the way to the door of the Vizeme Manor, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's really a church member. Good day, miss. Ilmat's red rope connects you and me." Anna, who was dragged out by Gavin to be the receptionist without knowing what was going on, also did not expect that she would meet a believer of Ilmat here and immediately responded in a panic: "Good day, madam, Ilmat's red rope." , connecting you and me.” The joy on Anna's round face could not be concealed no matter what. As one of the Three Holy Gods, Ilmat's reputation is not the loudest, but his creed is definitely the gentlest and most sacrificial. One of the most attractive people to be kind. Those who are attracted by this creed are all simple and kind-hearted people. Even if the two parties have never met each other, just because of the incident of Pastor Ilmat, they will have a good impression of each other and generate great trust. Looking at the two women, one tall and one short, one older and one younger, with huge differences in height and age, they started chatting like acquaintances who had not seen each other for many years, no, relatives. The idea that Gai Wen had rejected before came to mind again. Anna seems to be more suitable to be a diplomat than she thought. I only thought that diplomats should be versatile and able to solve any problems on their own, but I forgot that gaining trust from others is the most important thing. Anna's simple character will not only not become her shortcoming, but will become her greatest strength. The Anna I knew in my previous life was not the kind of person who would collapse at the slightest setback. On the contrary, she had an indomitable spirit. Even in the face of setbacks, she did not forget her original intention and abandoned her kindness. This is the most attractive part. In this life, because of my selfishness, I took her under my wings in advance. It seems that I protected her a little too much, so that she has no opportunity to grow, at least the opportunity for character growth is missing. This is my own mistake. I must adjust my thinking. I can't let a piece of unpolished jade stay by my side and gather dust, but let her shine and walk out of her own new path. "Mrs. Estel, Miss Amanda, it's great to see you again. We were indignant about your experience before. How can good people not be rewarded? Now it seems that we complained a little too early." The halfling leader Avery saw the wife and daughter of the owner of the Vizeme Manor, and his other half of his heart was completely relieved. It was not Cologne Fel who had the most dealings with them before, but Estel. Cologne Fel spent more than half of the year in Sambia, selling wine, and Estel was in charge of the manor most of the time. Estel was famous for her gentleness, and they were taken care of by her at the beginning. "We have to thank Mr. Gavin for this." Estel smiled gently, "He saved us from the endless nightmare and gave us a new life. So, from that time on, we decided to serve him as maids. You can trust Mr. Gavin as you trust me. He is recognized by Mr. Darnell. If you had come two days earlier, you might have met Mr. Darnell. He and Miss Regina officially cooperated with us to brew new wine this year." I didn't expect Estel to be a social expert. In just a few words, he not only lightly passed over his unfortunate experience, but also highlighted Gavin's role and the relationship between the two parties. Especially the last sentence, it was to highlight Gavin's credibility. Although there is a suspicion of pulling tiger skins, it is indeed useful.
Whether it is Darnell or Regina's popularity, it is far from what Gavin can compare with. When hearing these two names, especially Darnell's, the faces of those halflings flashed a look of sudden enlightenment. If Mr. Darnell, who is known as the Hammer of Justice, takes action personally, the problem of Vizeme Manor will no longer be a problem. Avery said to Gavin with an apologetic look: "Lord, I'm really sorry. We shouldn't question your sincerity. These catches are our apology gifts. Please accept them." "I accept the gifts, but it can't be called apology. When you don't know the roots and the bottom, caution is a way of survival. After all, you represent not only yourself, but also your own people." Gavin smiled and said, "Broken Thorn, put away the gifts, fill the truck with wild boars and hares, as our return gift." "Okay, Lord." Broken Thorn responded in a muffled voice. More than a dozen green vines as thick as thumbs hung down, rolled around the fish tails, and hung them up directly. Then two wild boars and seven or eight fat hares slid down and filled the halfling's small cart. Those halflings, who cared about nothing else, were all shocked. They looked up in amazement and saw the towering tree. It turned out that it was not a tree flag, but a tree man. On its branches, there were still a lot of game that had not been processed yet. Gavin smiled and explained: "Don't panic, this is our companion. Although he is big, he is very gentle." Although he had good intentions to cooperate, he still had to show the force that should be shown, so that he would have more say. "Sorry, we didn't expect to meet a tree man here. We are surprised by what we have seen." Avery hurriedly said, "Thank you for the return gift from the lord, we will accept it." "I have set up the banquet, please come in." Gavin only then opened the door. "Lord, please go first." The halflings followed Gavin inside and looked at the Vizeme Manor. Old and decayed places can still be seen everywhere. But some places have been completely renovated. You can tell at a glance that it is not something that can be done with ordinary repairs, but the work of restoration and complete restoration. After three rounds of wine, the dishes have tasted five flavors. The two sides are basically familiar with each other, and Gavin directly pushes the topic to the business: "I have found the long-term employment contract you signed with Vizeme Manor and studied it carefully. Overall, it is very reasonable. As long as you agree, we can continue to execute according to this contract. You assist us in management and picking grapes, and we will use semi-finished wine as employment fee afterwards." "We have no objection to this pricing." Avery responded readily. Obviously, it had been discussed before coming. The cooperation with Vizeme Manor is long-term. If the price is raised on the spot due to the special situation of the manor reopening this year, it is extremely short-sighted. Once this is done, the Vizeme Manor can hire a large number of workers from outside to get rid of them, which will have a great impact on their lives. There is no place more suitable for them to rest in the summer than the Yewen Pond and the Three Rivers. Avery hesitated and said, "It's just the crops on the riverbank..." "Isn't that what you grow?" As soon as the other party opened his mouth, Gavin knew what they wanted, "This crop of food can all belong to you, but I have an additional condition."
The halfling's joy just now froze. He was afraid of this in anything, but he said with a stiff face, "Please speak, Lord."
