Romon had his house searched all night. When daybreak, he was finally sure that the orc had escaped and was not staying at home, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not because he is unfounded, but there are rich historical examples for him to learn from.
There are many orc slaves who hate their masters because they were abused. The first thing they do after breaking free is often not to run away, but to hide and wait for revenge on their masters.
However, even so, the nobles did not lose interest in orc slaves, but always believed that such a thing would not happen to them.
Although Romon believed that he had never done anything bad to the orc slaves, so he should not be retaliated and hated, but who could grasp the thoughts of the orcs? The first reaction must be to give priority to his own safety.
After confirming that there were no safety risks at home, Romon ordered people to release the news of the escape of the orcs, and prepared to search for traces of the orcs' strength throughout the city.
However, before the person who went out to spread the news walked out of the door, he saw Miss Lucy's men coming with the news.
"What? Did the orc go to Miss Lucy's place?" Romon was in constant shock all night.
After the shock, she quickly said, "Then Miss Lucy wasn't shocked, was she?"
If something happened to Miss Lucy, he would definitely not get anything good, and Romon knew it very well.
The person who acted as the messenger was Betem, one of the people sent by Lihuat.
Compared with Marco, Lu Xi obviously trusts the people sent by Lihuat more. In terms of blood relationship, Lu Xi can be regarded as Lihuat's cousin, after all, he is a member of his own family.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to send so many people to Lu Xi. Even in such an anxious situation, I still fully prepared the gift for Lu Xi.
Marco was only used by Lu Xi when he had no choice. Now that there was a new person, he was naturally ignored.
"Please rest assured, there is nothing wrong with Miss Lucy."
Bertem handed over a crystal card representing one hundred thousand gold coins and handed it to Romon, "Last night, the orc suddenly rushed into Miss Lucy's yard. Fortunately, no one was hurt."
"After being controlled, I asked some questions. When Miss Lucy heard this, she sympathized with him very much. She heard that he sneaked away from you and hoped to spend money to buy him to make up for your loss."
"No, you're too polite. I'm just a slave. If Miss Lucy likes it, I'll give it to Miss Lucy." Luo Meng hurriedly patted his chest and said, although there were still many things he didn't understand, he still responded quickly. answer.
Bertem's smile remained unchanged, and he pushed the crystal card worth 100,000 gold coins forward, "Please be sure to accept it."
The smiling tone was completely unacceptable.
Luo Meng choked, his idea of trying to sell favors to Miss Lucy was broken, and he could only grit his teeth and accept the one hundred thousand gold coins.
This means that from now on, everything about the orc's personality has "nothing to do" with him.
When Bertem came back from the Fair family, Lu Xi had just finished breakfast.
Standing beside him was the orc who had released all his restraints. He changed into the extraordinarily funny and gorgeous clothes that Romon had customized for him. He wore his own simple short sleeves and shorts, and wore the cloak given by Lu Xi.
Fortunately, the orc's physique was strong, and the cloak given by Lu Xi was enough to keep him warm and windproof, so he could survive the increasingly cold weather.
Lu Xi also didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing in the middle of the night.
When the orc's power was controlled and came to her, she thought she was dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.
The first person to discover the power of orcs was Shuge. It stands to reason that the perception of the intermediate elemental mage Granny Rodia should be more acute, but unfortunately, she has been unable to sleep for many years, so she is weak in this aspect.
Fortunately, Xiuge was the first to discover the orc's power. He knew what Lu Xi had done, so after seeing the orc's power, he could roughly guess what happened.
Orc Qi had met Xiuge next to Lu Xi. The two people who knew each other's ins and outs seemed very calm when they saw each other, with a little tacit understanding.
For example, Shuge did not attack, and Orc Guli did not resist. He was tied up and taken to the living room.
Not everyone has the right not to be awakened, so some people came out of the room one after another to check the situation, and then they couldn't go back.
Lu Xi was not the kind of person who slept too deeply. After four o'clock in the morning, he was quickly woken up by the movement downstairs.
It's not that it's noisy, but it's a different feeling in a house where everyone is sleeping and when a group of people are awake and working.
After learning what happened from the new maid Sani, Lu Xi dressed up and went downstairs... It was time to change clothes with one click.
Of course, Lu Xi did not choose complicated clothes, which were similar to her daily clothes at Lingnan Farm.
The orc had always been very quiet. He was tied up and knelt on the ground without any complaints. When he heard the sound of Lu Xi coming downstairs, he looked up and saw the familiar figure, and then his eyes showed violent emotional turmoil.
But the orc did not move because of his strength. He knew that if he moved randomly, he might be misunderstood as wanting to hurt Miss Lucy, so he kept controlling his body and not showing any signs of danger.
Lu Xi glanced at the crowd of people in the living room on the first floor and waved casually, "There's no need to leave so many people behind. If you should go back to sleep, go back to sleep. You have to rush during the day. If you stay up late, you won't be energetic during the day. "
The people who appeared here were all the people left by Lihuat, and the people from Marco's patrol were already making room for them in the house next door.
A group of low-level elemental warriors, men and women, looked at each other. Finally, under the command of Betem, only two older intermediate elemental warriors were left, plus Shuge and Betem.
With this group of people with the highest combat power, Lu Xi's safety can be guaranteed. It doesn't matter whether there are those low-level elemental warriors or not.
When there are too many people, it's impossible to say that something is really going on, but it becomes chaotic. This is also the reason why Betem asked everyone to go down.
Unlike others, Bertem, who is positioned like a housekeeper, is extremely concerned about Miss Lucy's personal safety and is not as easy to "fool around" as others.
Take Xiuge as an example. If Lu Xi wanted to do something dangerous, it would be easy to trick Shuge into agreeing...
Others, however, have no right to interfere in what Miss Lucy wants to do, and can only follow Lu Xi's orders, regardless of whether what Lu Xi wants to do is dangerous or not.
Just like before at Lingxin Farm, Lu Xi personally took risks and entered the dark night forest to look for the missing children - Betem would never agree to it anyway.
Because Betem is such a professional who has been trained as a butler since childhood. His purpose is to help manage the affairs of the master's family as a butler. He will intervene in matters within the scope of his responsibilities.
That is to say, there is still someone in the position of housekeeper at Lihuat, and it is very stable and cannot be removed at will. Bertem has no room for promotion, so he was assigned to Lu Xi.
After all, although there are previous managers at Lingxuan Farm, they are not brought by Miss Lucy, and it will definitely be inconvenient to use. There are newcomers on both sides. Bertem can definitely compete for the position of "butler".
"Untie him." Lu Xi wasn't used to discussing things with Bertem, so she was looking at Xiuge.
Shuge was quite straightforward. He would do whatever Miss Lucy said. Before Bethem could make any objection, he had quickly removed the restraints on the orc's body.
Even with the physical strength of the beastman, this restraint has no effect. It is purely because the beastman does not intend to struggle, so he obediently allows others to bind him.
Bertem's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he saw the scene in front of him. His judgment on Miss Lucy was refreshed again and again. Due to his status as a "newcomer", he did not speak immediately, but continued to observe.
The two elderly intermediate elemental warriors looked at each other and stood guard at the door with drooped eyelids, acting as door guards.
Although they looked like "we are old, blinded and deaf", unable to hear or see anything, and did not want to get involved in the master's affairs, looking at the scarred bodies of these two people, one knew that they were in danger. When the time comes, their reaction will not be slower than Xiuge.
Strength is one thing, and so is experience.
Of course, Lu Xi's most important protective measure is to cultivate his character. He is also confident enough to control all dangers that occur around Lu Xi.
"Get up, I don't like people kneeling down to talk to me." Lu Xi waved to the orc force and sat down on the sofa casually.
Although my physical condition has been refreshed, I still feel a little sleepy mentally.
Especially when I saw the dark sky outside, the feeling of wanting to yawn became even more obvious.
Before Lu Xi could say anything, the maid Yawei, who had been waiting on the first floor for a long time, came over with two cups of refreshing tea.
Sani, the head maid who went downstairs with Lu Xi, couldn't help but look at Yawei with wide eyes.
Yawei just lowered her head and pretended not to see it. She had no choice but to do it. She had been bought by Miss Lucy and she belonged to Miss Lucy. Sani took nine maids from the Porberstein family and directly put her in her previous position. occupied.
Although Yawei and Mary were not driven to the nearby house, Yawei also lost the opportunity to show up in front of Miss Lucy, and there was nothing that could be done.
Awakened by the orc's power, Yawei immediately sensed the opportunity. Before the other maids could react, she prepared the refreshing tea and waited in the kitchen.
Lu Xi didn't know about the intrigues of his maid, but he just looked at Yawei with satisfaction. He said that Yawei had been doing things beside him before, and she did a good job. After a few days, she got used to it.
"You can continue to follow me, Sani, and you will arrange a place for her later." Of course, Lu Xi knew that everyone around him had been replaced by Lihuat's people, because there was no one else to choose from, and Lu Xi could not accept it. good.
But today, I discovered that Yawei was doing well, and Lu Xi realized that he could also train some people... Well, the chestnut flowers in Lingnan Farm can also be used again.
Sani lowered her head in response. Although she was dissatisfied with Yawei's competition for the position, she knew that Miss Lucy's order was the most important.
Ignoring these, Lu Xi looked at Orc Geli who had already stood up. She was over two meters tall, and she was sitting on the sofa, so she had to raise her head to look at Orc Geli.
The orc hesitated for a moment, and finally squatted down, which was better than kneeling... In fact, kneeling was more comfortable.
Lu Xi didn't pay attention to these details and took a sip of tea. The temperature was neither too high nor too low, just right for her mouth. It made her impression of the maid Yawei even better.
I had never noticed that the maid Yawei was so good at doing things before. It turns out that only through competition can progress be achieved.
"Why did you come to me?" Lu Xi didn't ask you nonsense about how you escaped. How can she still not know how the orcs escaped?
The orc raised his head and looked at Lu Xi, "I don't want to live like a monster."
Escape from human towns and live in the wild like monsters. Although you can gain freedom, that is not the life that the orcs really want.
Lu Xi did not show the innocent and kind expression he had a few days ago, but just looked at the orc Gugli calmly.
"I am a low-level elemental mage." Orc said.
"I have a name, I am...a human being, and I want to live in this world openly! Not as a slave, an orc slave who knows some elemental magic."
Lu Xi still looked at the orc's strength.
Orc Gli lowered his head in the face of each other and said the reason, "That day, you said this was the clothes you planned to give to your friend."
He pointed to the cloak he was wearing.
"Your friend... is also an orc."
After all, it is absolutely impossible for normal humans to have this kind of body shape. Even if someone can grow up to the size of an orc, it is indeed impossible to grow into the size of the orc Delany.
"You recognize an orc as your friend and are willing to sew clothes for him with your own hands." The orc looked at Lu Xi with strong emotions.
This is why he chose to use his only chance to escape to find Miss Lucy.
Bertem, who was completely unaware of these things, had a drastic change of expression on his face and looked at Miss Lucy and Master Shuge uncertainly, wondering why he felt that his life as a housekeeper would be very unstable in the future.
On the contrary, the two elderly intermediate elemental warriors looked unshakable and did not feel a bit shocked. After all, they were older and had seen more of the world.
Lu Xi actually didn't think that much, but when she saw the strength of the orc in front of her, she still understood the other person's true needs.
The orc force does not want to stay at the level of a low-level elemental mage. He wants to go further and explore higher-level elemental powers. Perhaps people who have seen the high-level world are like this and are not willing to stop here.
But it is obvious that those nobles who are willing to buy him cannot give him this opportunity. Low-level elemental mages can still be controlled, but it is too difficult for mid-level elemental mages, not to mention the physically powerful orcs.
After escaping into the wild, the orcs have no chance of learning elemental spells in depth.
At this time, a noble lady who was friendly to the orcs became the only straw that the orcs could grasp.
Lu Xi sighed softly, "Maybe I am not the kind of person you imagined or expected."
"You are already kind and kind enough." The beast leaned down and put his head on the ground.
"I am willing to be loyal to you in the name of the elemental mage Gree."
It’s hard to write when there are so many people.
There is always a feeling that someone will be left behind accidentally.
