According to the distance from the portal, the first, second and third-level areas are divided. The further inward, the more guarding force there is. Not everyone can move around casually.
However, when the guards saw Vivian, they let her go without any further questioning. Apparently, the little girl had gained some reputation in Chiyan Town.
"Sister!" In the first-class area of the inner beta, when he saw Vivian approaching, Andy jumped into the little girl's arms with joy.
But Vivian focused on these two strangers who were close to her family.
Feeling the girl's gaze, Butler Robert smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak first without waiting for the girl to ask:
"Hello, Miss Vivian, my name is Robert. We just met not long ago. Miss Vivian, have you forgotten? I was a guest at your home and I praised your sewing skills."
"Huh? Are you a guest?" Vivian didn't react at first and was still confused.
It wasn't until the father next to her kept winking at her and mouthing the word "maid" that the little girl finally remembered.
"You...you are the one who made the deal with my father..."
In fact, it’s not the fault of Vivian’s slow response.
After all, Robert's words were not as good as what he said. Being a guest was just a visit to their home to test whether Vivian was worth buying to be a maid.
However, when the girl was about to tell her about being traded and sold as a servant, Butler Robert was the first to interrupt.
He was deliberately avoiding it, and even wanted Vivian to forget about it.
Robert cleverly changed the subject.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Vivian, please allow me to apologize to you for bringing your father and brother over without permission. But I think at this time, it is better to be closer to the portal. After all, it is the fastest. The safest way is to evacuate back to Huodian City."
Now I don’t know how many civilians in Red Flame Town are squeezing their heads to move forward just to move as soon as possible. Some businessmen and shopkeepers even spend a lot of money just to buy a place in the first-class area.
So there is no doubt that this housekeeper is showing his kindness in a very tactful way.
Wanting to win over Vivian is not just a matter of words. Robert is very shrewd. He has been patient and did not take the initiative to disturb Vivian. Instead, he started with the little girl's family.
The effect is also very impressive.
"No, no, no! I also have to thank Mr. Luo... Robert. I am planning to do the same." Vivian quickly thanked him.
However, what surprised the girl even more was what came next.
"Miss Vivian, according to the information I got, even if we teleport to Huodian City, they will not open the city gate to let us in."
As one of the ancient nobles, the Sisir family is naturally extremely well-informed.
Huodian City has been closed for a long time, not to mention that there are still such a large number of refugees this time. No matter how openly and secretly fighting the major forces in the city are on weekdays, in the face of this incident, they are surprisingly united and unanimously attack the city guards. Pressure, demanding that these people transferred from Chiyan Town must not be allowed to enter the city.
But now, since the noble butler has taken the initiative to mention this matter, it means that he must have a way to solve it.
really.
His voice changed.
"However, my Lord Earl has contacted the city guards and asked them to provide us with a special passage into the city."
"I just don't know..."
"Miss Vivian, are you willing to go with us and go directly into the city after teleportation?"
Robert smiled and extended the invitation.
As the chief steward of a large nobleman, he is certainly very good at winning people's hearts.
"Really...really!?" Vivian looked surprised again.
Then the little girl reacted quickly, bowed deeply and thanked her quickly: "Then please, Mr. Robert!"
"I...I really don't know how to thank you for such a great kindness..."
What Vivian said is true.
Without Robert's help, it would be easy for the little girl to go into the city alone. After all, she only needs to switch to her second personality. But it would be much more difficult to bring her brother and father with her.
"Haha, Miss Vivian, you are so polite. For a powerful spell caster like you to be a guest at our Thistle home after this crisis is over, it is already the greatest reward for us."
"Ah this...this, this is not good, people like me..."
As soon as she heard that she was invited to someone else's noble mansion, Vivian immediately flinched.
In her heart, the little girl still has the mentality of being born inferior to others. After all, she has been a village girl for many years and it has only been a few days since she gained strength.
Therefore, when facing big shots who are much higher in social class than themselves, young girls will always subconsciously feel inferior to themselves.
On the other side, seeing Vivian's panic, Lake, the guest mage sent by the family to guard Robert, flashed a look of contempt in his eyes.
In his opinion, a person's status at birth determines everything. They are originally humble country people. Even if they gain power, they are still no match for city people like them.
No, it was just an invitation, and this person named "Vivian" was so flattered.
But Robert next to Lake was just the opposite.
This noble old housekeeper did not look down upon Vivian at all. On the contrary, it could be said that he admired her even more and was determined to win over the girl.
What Mage Lake saw was only the humble attitude of the little girl, but what Butler Robert saw was Vivian's extremely simple nature.
For a person like this with unlimited potential and a clean mind, as long as he can establish and cultivate a good relationship in the early stages, then in the future, the other person will be able to work hard for the family regardless of his own life.
So this may be why Lake has only been able to get to the position of guest guest after working all his life, but Robert can be the general butler.
But of course, no matter how shrewd and calculating the aristocratic housekeeper was, he couldn't have calculated that Vivian's thoughts were pure, but the problem was that the little girl was not a person at all.
To be precise, behind Vivian, there is a little wolf cub whose heart is blacker than carbon.
Therefore, Robert's plan to win Vivian into the family, or even turn the girl into a member of the family, is doomed to fail.
But of course he didn't know this at the moment.
This aristocratic butler is still full of enthusiasm for Vivian.
"What are you talking about, Miss Vivian? I have heard about it. Even Damir, the famous genius mage in Huodian City, is full of praise and appreciation for you."
"Furthermore, the daughter of my Lord Earl happens to be going to the Noble Academy to study as a spellcaster this year. She is about the same age as you. If the lady can get your guidance and become friends with you, I think she will become a Earl." You will definitely be happy too.”
"So, please Miss Vivian, please don't refuse the invitation to our Thistle's house."
"Okay then...okay."
"When this crisis is over, I will...excuse you."
Robert has mentioned this.
In addition, Vivian's father, Anru, was winking at his daughter crazily and even kept tugging at the corners of the little girl's clothes, almost breaking the clothes.
In short, no matter what, Vivian had no reason to refuse, so the girl reluctantly agreed.
In fact, Vivian still feels like she is in a fog.
The girl never thought that one day she would be able to enter Huodian City, enter the mansion of a noble earl, and maybe even talk to the other person's daughter and become friends.
While Vivian was feeling nervous, worried and vaguely looking forward to it, the mage Lake, who had been listening silently on the side, was secretly gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.
Even if Vivian was invited to the Earl's house before, he didn't care. But when Robert mentioned it and asked Vivian to meet the Earl's daughter and even give guidance to the other party, Lake couldn't sit still.
Everyone knows that Earl Thistle only has one daughter, and he loves her so much that she can be said to be the apple of his eye.
This rich young lady will definitely succeed her father and become the countess of the Thistle family in the future. When a man is in a high position, a woman will come to cling to him. This gender swap is also completely true.
There are countless young people who want to establish a relationship and establish a relationship with this earl's daughter. After all, if there is any result, it will definitely be a carp leaping over the dragon's gate and becoming a winner in life in one step.
Lake is naturally one of them.
And he had already planned to take advantage of the time when the earl's daughter was going to learn magic, and use him as a mage to apply to be the other party's mentor. Wouldn't this bring him closer to the daughter?
But who would have thought...who would have thought...
Lake had done enough homework and preparations for this, but at this critical juncture, he was overtaken by this little girl who came from a remote country!
However, soon Lake no longer had time to resent and grudge Vivian in his heart.
Because as a mage, he was the first to notice a huge wave of magic power that was rapidly emanating from the location of the portal.
Soon after, even people who were not in the caster profession, as long as they were not blind, could see the dazzling blue halo, finally spreading from the long-dormant portal.
Steward Robert, who had been chatting with Vivian constantly to enhance their relationship, also closed his mouth and turned to look away.
It can be said that at this moment, all the people in Chiyan Town unanimously looked towards the blue-light portal at the core of the town.
Although under the mission of Little Wolf Cub, the players delayed for a lot of time.
But in the end it was at the end of noon...
This door carries the hope of all the refugees in Chiyan Town, and also symbolizes that they can escape from danger and stay away from those unknown and terrifying monsters...
finally...
Completed!
