In other words, whether it is fake friends or real friends, the more the better. She had never considered making friends with others before. Even when looking for partners, the intention is to control the other party rather than win over partners through normal relationships. What is the difference between this behavior and that of the evil devil? In the end, his subordinates will definitely rebel. Because this is undoubtedly the behavior of a tyrant. But she doesn't have the confidence to do things in a normal way. She knew herself very well and knew that she certainly did not have the ability to control her subordinates, nor was she sure that she could take care of everyone in an organization. If she didn't use such tough measures, she couldn't even guarantee that the people below would do their work seriously. So she didn't want to think about these things from the beginning.
I know this is definitely wrong, but I don't want to change it. Because her advantage lies in her own strength. Apart from this, she has no other advantages. Her social skills are even more of a weakness. "Oh, this is such a headache, but now I have no choice but to go down this path until the end. Maybe I will have to take some time to learn this skill in the future, but that will have to be after my power develops." A tyrant is a tyrant. Anyway, she doesn't want to be a king now, she just wants to be the president of a chamber of commerce. Therefore, even if force is used to control it, it should not cause much backlash. It didn't take long. The Count came up. "Hello." On the surface. I can't tell any emotion. The Earl said, "I'm sorry for what we did earlier. We were rude." Si looked at the Earl who was apologizing to him with some surprise. Then said don't worry. "No, I don't take it to heart." The Earl seemed not to have expected her to answer like that and was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly reacted. "That's good, but as an apology, please accept my gift." The Count clapped his hands. The butler, who had been waiting outside, walked in dragging a plate. Si looked at the thing in front of him and asked, "What is this?" The Earl said, "It is only a small token of my appreciation. Please do not refuse it." A savings card for the silver vault. She didn't see how much money was inside. But since it was the Earl who made the move, the amount must be considerable. Although Si didn't know why the Earl was so generous. But since he wants to accept it himself, I'd better accept it. Otherwise she wouldn't know how to refuse. I always feel that if I refuse, there is a high chance that a fight will break out. The Count saw her accept his gift. I felt relieved immediately. Then he said in a familiar manner: "Are you a magician?" "Yes." Si replied. The Earl asked, "Excuse me, but are you here on a mission?" "No, I just plan to settle here." "I see." The Earl said, "Well, you are most welcome. If there is anything you need help with, I will do my best to help." "Thank you." Si could still tell that the Count was just being polite. Even if it wasn't just a polite remark, she wouldn't accept this favor easily. "Ah." The Count hesitated to speak. Si waited quietly for what he was going to say next. "My men offended you before. I apologize to you on his behalf. I am really sorry." The Earl said, "I wonder if you can help remove the magic from him. Of course, I am willing to pay a certain price for it." A high-ranking knight is also a very important fighting force for the Earl. It can be said that the loss of one is very painful. Therefore, as long as there is even a slight possibility, he will try his best to save the knight.
But the price is definitely limited. If it exceeds this range, the count will give up decisively. As for how big this range is. The Count did not say. That's a deal. Whether or not he could push the Earl to his bottom line depended on whether Si had the ability to do so. The department is well aware of this. Then she also knew very well that she definitely didn't have this ability. But she has seen a lot of things like mystery. There are so many teaching materials to refer to in novels and movies. So she smiled and said, "Remove the spell? Sure, what can you give?" The company actually has some considerations. Under normal circumstances, she should give the Earl some face at this moment and quit while she is ahead. This way she could also gain friendship. But she thought about it carefully. This friendship seemed meaningless to her. First of all, she is not good at socializing. This matter is very important, so it needs to be explained repeatedly. Because she was not good at socializing, even if she gave the Earl a favor and gained a certain amount of friendship, she did not have enough ability to develop this friendship in the future, and she did not even know how to use this friendship to benefit herself. In this case, any long-term benefits this friendship might bring are equivalent to no benefits to her. Therefore, her only chance to gain benefits was this one chance right before her. If she missed it, she would have no chance at all. Although this was a completely unexpected gain, because she had never thought that the Earl would negotiate and make a deal with her because of this matter, she had no reason to give up, right? Some people may think this is a way of taking advantage of others. But obviously, this is not complete. Because she had to make this deal. If she doesn't agree. It was the earl who was worried. The Earl fell silent for a moment when he saw Si kick the question back to him. Originally, he did not tell the magician about his bargaining chips because he wanted to use it to test the magician. If the magician's offer was too outrageous, then it could be basically determined that the magician came with malicious intent. But now that the problem was kicked back to him, the magician's purpose was a little unclear. But the Count was prepared for this.
"housekeeper." "Yes." soon. The butler brought up the things that the count had prepared in advance. Si understood. The other party had already prepared all the responses. Even if she kicks the question back. People can also answer quickly. "This is my sincerity," said the count. "What do you think?" Si looked at those things. That's a title deed. The location is in the heart of the business district. It can be said to be quite valuable. Si didn't know if this was the Earl's bottom line. But she felt that this was exactly what she wanted. So she nodded. "Okay, I'll take it." Next. She lifted the petrification spell. Left with a lot of gains. As for what the Earl will think later. That was no longer within her consideration. [Chapter 58: Good Development] The huge monster fell under the fierce attack of the Black Knight. The rancher and his family hid in the warehouse and watched the battle in fear. The strength of this adventurer was too strong. As expected, he was a tough guy who reached A-rank adventurer in just three months. The Black Knight opened his hands and put the monster's body into the storage magic device, then he put away his sword and prepared to leave. "Thank you very much, Lord Black Knight!" the ranch owner's daughter rushed out and shouted, "You and your companions are always welcome at our ranch!" "Come and visit us more often when you have time. The milk produced by our ranch is top quality." The ranch owner caught up with a box of milk. "This is a gift. Please enjoy it."
"..." The Black Knight took the box of milk in silence. This ranch is the largest in the vicinity, and the milk they produce is unique in the kingdom. It has become a brand industry, and has cooperated with famous chambers of commerce, using the magic of freezing to transport it across the country. Just like the gifts he had received before, the Black Knight put them all into the magic device and prepared to take them back to their owner. "Dad, do you think the Black Knight will come to our house again in the future?" The young girl looked at the departing figure with longing in her eyes. Although the Black Knight was wearing tight armor, never spoke, and looked evil, his decisive and calm demeanor, his ability to deal with missions and enemies calmly, had captured the girl's heart. Besides, the girl didn't know that there was no human under the armor. The rancher thought that they probably wouldn't come unless there was a commission. These three black knights had become famous recently, with a mission completion rate of nearly 100%. They had extremely high efficiency and speed, and in just three months they had risen from the lowest E-level adventurer to the top A-level adventurer in the branch. Because they are efficient and quick, they are widely praised. However, it has never been heard that the Black Knights would get close to the client. They are very cold and basically do not contact anyone except for work. Even during the mission, they will not say a word and complete the mission as quickly as possible.
