MTL - Another World Sandbox Gamer-Chapter 54 Jimenez Mansion
After breakfast, I immediately set off on the road. This time, Fernand drove the carriage.
Ryan and Charlotte rest in the car.
Yesterday it was because Fernand was seriously injured, and now he is fully recovered. Even if Ren didn't speak, he was embarrassed to sit inside.
Charlotte is the eldest lady of the Jimenez family, and for an ordinary farmer like Fernand, she is a high-ranking existence. Even if her mission is to find and bring herself back to Storm City, that's just Missy's "adventure game".
When she was injured, it's good to say, but when she has recovered, it is quite arrogant to let the eldest lady sit outside. If the Jimenez family knows about it, then it's over!
It is also impossible to sit in the carriage with this eldest lady. Even with her permission, Fernand does not have the courage to do so.
He is different from Ren. After all, the other party has the unique ability to tame Boracon and cook magical food. Based on these two points, he is qualified to be recruited by the Jimenez family. Completely different from a "untouchable" like yourself!
Fernand is very self-aware. He was almost bitten to death by a pack of wolves before, and he was very satisfied to be able to go home alive!
Ren kept vigil last night and didn't sleep for a few hours.
So I closed my eyes in the car and rested my mind, relying on a short sleep to restore my spirit.
Charlotte was more curious about him because of the breakfast just now, and finally couldn't help asking: "Ren, why can you make strange food with healing effects? Is it some kind of secret technique, or a unique magic? I heard that witches can brew all kinds of decoctions with magical powers that can produce strange effects, is this related to you?"
Ren opened his eyes, smiled and replied to Charlotte's rare curious expression: "This is indeed a secret technique passed down by the family, and there is something to learn from the witch soup. After countless improvements and passed down to my generation, there are basically no side effects. All that is left are beneficial effects to people. If I hadn't fallen to this point, I wouldn't want to go against my ancestor's teaching and use my family's secret techniques to make money. I know that once this secret technique is made public, it will attract a lot of coveted people, but I can't do anything about it. …”
"So you found me because you wanted the protection of the Jimenez family?" Charlotte asked.
Ren is making up stories along her lines anyway, and now Charlotte trusts herself more and is less guarded than before, and the stories made up are not easy to be exposed.
Since it is a "secret technique", the Gimenez family will not get any results if they ask about it. I believe that the other party is not so interested, and specially sent someone to the Herman Kingdom to investigate the matter. With that skill, it's easier to investigate whether the self under your eyes can be controlled.
Facing Charlotte's question, Ren replied: "It doesn't have to be the Jimenez family! If any of the five families sees me, or my secret technique, I can gain a foothold in Storm City. In fact, I know in my heart that after the launch of these magical foods, the nobles of Storm City will definitely take action, and even the officials will come to me. If I am lucky, I will be monopolized by one party, I can only work for the other party, and all the food can only be bought by him at a low price. If I make a lot of money, I make a small amount of money; if I am unlucky, I may be forced to hand over the recipe by the coveted people, and even if I refuse to come up with the recipe, they will force me to cook food and become their money-making tool. There is no strong support. , there will be no happy ending!"
"You still have a very clear understanding of yourself!" Charlotte said, "Don't worry, although my family may monopolize your magical food for profit, at least I'm here and you won't suffer too much loss. With the Jimenez family as the backing, it is not a problem for you to gain a foothold in Storm City."
"I'm relieved to have said this!"
"Where are you staying now?" Charlotte asked him, "The Adventurer's Association or the hotel in the city?"
"Actually, I settled in the Monster Beast Forest and didn't live in the city!" Ren answered truthfully.
"Beast Forest?!" Charlotte was surprised to hear this sentence, "How can you settle in such a dangerous place? Are you joking?"
"There's no way! I can't buy land or a house in Storm City." Ren shrugged, "The Forest of Monsters is a neutral zone and is not restricted. In fact, the periphery is fine and not that dangerous."
"You're really surprising!" Charlotte said to him, "When the matter in Glory Town passes, my team may go to the Demonic Beast Forest. Can I visit your house then?"
"Of course! It's an honor."
……
The two talked all the way in the carriage, and the carriage finally returned to Storm City.
Stopped at Fernand's house outside the city, his wife was just outside the gate, and immediately came forward.
The couple hugged and cried.
Fernand's wife thanked Charlotte and Ryan and handed over the mission bounty.
Charlotte doesn't even look at it, this bounty is nothing to her.
After handing in the quest here, Ren drove the car and took Charlotte into the city.
The carriage soon came to the luxurious mansion of the Jimenez family, and a guard came forward.
They were quite vigilant about this carriage pulled by the Velociraptor~www.novelbuddy.com~ until they saw Charlotte in the car, they immediately saluted respectfully.
Charlotte asked directly after getting out of the car, "Where is father?"
"Miss Yi! Lord Jimenez is talking to the guests in the study." The family guard replied respectfully.
"I have something important to report to my father!" Charlotte said solemnly, "You watch the carriage, he wants to come in with me!"
"Yes!" Although the family guard was afraid of the raptor, he still took the carriage to the side.
Ren followed Charlotte and entered the Jimenez mansion together, walked around the maze-like corridor inside the gate, and soon came to the hall.
"You wait here!" Charlotte asked Ren to sit on the side and went straight to the study from the side passage.
When the guard guarding the door of the study saw her, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Miss, are you back?"
"Yeah!" Charlotte was expressionless, "I have something important to tell my father."
"The lord is receiving the city lord, and he said that no one should interfere!"
"The city owner is also there? Just right!" Charlotte shouted directly, "Father! Lord city owner! Can I come in?"
The guards didn't dare to make a sound, even if Lord Jimenez ordered, this is the eldest lady!
A middle-aged man's deep voice soon came out: "Charlotte, are you back? I'm discussing important matters with the city lord. I'll talk about it later."
"Father, Glory Town was captured by the Sea Clan!" Charlotte exclaimed loudly, "Christine, Carla, Linda, Monica, the protectors of the major families, as well as the townspeople of Glory Town, all businessmen and adventurers They were all taken as hostages by the Hai Clan, so this is a big deal!"
"What?!" Two panicked voices came from inside, the study door opened quickly, and Charlotte's father and the city lord appeared at the same time.
