MTL - Another World Sandbox Gamer-Chapter 56 "Protection fees"
"Ren Hooper!" The four chiefs of the four clans who came over were seated separately. As the master, Colin turned to Ren, "It's been hard work all the way, I'll let someone arrange a room, you go back to rest first!"
Ren is not surprised. Exiles are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party. It is very polite to talk to you with such an attitude!
If Charlotte hadn't brought him here, as the ruler of the Jimenez family, Colin wouldn't even say a word to him.
"Father, I'll take Ren down to rest!" Charlotte stood up.
"Sit down!" Colin stopped her and waved to the side.
The housekeeper came over immediately and bent over in front of him.
Colin whispered a few words in the butler's ear and asked him to take Ren away.
"Mr. Hooper, please come with me!" The butler came to Ren.
"Okay!" Ren got up immediately and followed the butler out of the hall without hesitation.
When he left, Colin turned to the city lord and the patriarchs of the four major families: "The situation is serious, so don't talk nonsense! Charlotte, please repeat the specific situation."
"Yes!" Charlotte quickly got up and explained the situation to the fathers of the four teammates.
When everyone understood the situation, Colin said: "Regardless of whether the sea clan's words are true or false, they have hostages in their hands and occupy Glory Town. It is not a good way to send troops directly, and the hostages will be hurt! The first thing to do now, It is to gather the strength of our five families, and also ask the Lord of the City to dispatch the soldiers of Storm City to cooperate fully and start an investigation! Do you have any objections?"
"I have no opinion!" Bill replied.
The patriarchs of the four major families looked at each other, and Qiao asked: "If it is found out that such a thing really happened, then it's better to say! Just rescue the black sheep and send the captured Hai Clan back. If it is just an excuse for the Hai Clan, when the time comes What should I do? We can't be passive because of the hostages and be asked by the other party! The most important thing is, how to ensure the safety of the hostages and save them all?"
"If it's really an excuse from the sea clan, first of all, don't make a statement!" Colin said, "Let's conduct an investigation on the bright side, secretly dispatch our elites to Glory Town, and wait for the opportunity. Please also invite the city lord to send out spies and recruit adventurers to cooperate. As long as Find an opportunity, ignore the other hostages, and rescue a few nieces as soon as possible."
"In other words, we need to prepare both hands?" Zeni nodded and said, "As long as Kara can be rescued, anything will do!"
Several other patriarchs also agreed.
So the five major families and the city lord Bill assigned tasks, discussed the investigation targets that each faction was responsible for, and arranged them properly.
On the other side, Ren followed the butler out of the hall and walked along the maze-like corridor to the empty and quiet backyard.
The butler stopped, turned to him and said, "Mr. Hober, you were in the market before, and you used those magical foods to attract the eldest. Later, you applied to join the eldest's team in the Adventurer's Association, and then followed the eldest to the Barrens. Land. Say it! What do you want?"
Ryan thought to himself, I didn't deliberately attract Charlotte at the market, and I didn't even know about the Jimenez family at the time. However, she did want to get the support and protection of one of the families through Charlotte or the other four noble ladies in her team, so as to block Baron Andrew's hostility towards him.
Although he successfully killed Manado and his subordinates in the Barrens, it is possible that Baron Andrew will be liquidated in the next investigation because of the capture of the Sea Clan. If he wants to gain a foothold in Storm City, he still needs a strong backer. , so that no one else can get in trouble.
With a strong backer, you can develop steadily, don't think too much.
Obviously, the Jimenez family will carefully investigate those who are close to Charlotte. The other party has a grasp of what happened before, so there is no need to look for excuses.
So he replied, "I was exiled by the Kingdom of Herman, and I managed to get out of the sand sea of despair. I want to live peacefully in Storm City without any threat!"
"Is this your request?" the butler asked.
"Yes!"
"The Jimenez family generally doesn't accept exiles! Since you have the recipe for magical food, it's quite useful. Bringing back the eldest lady from Glory Town is a credit. As long as you hand over the recipe, the lord will give you the surname Jimenez. , and will be a member of the family from now on!"
Hearing this, Ren was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly said: "Sir Jimenez has misunderstood! I am just seeking asylum, and I do not expect to be a member of the distinguished Jimenez family. I am willing to hand over the formula, only in the future. Storm City is in trouble and can get the help of the Jimenez family!"
In fact, it is to pay the protection fee to the Jimenez family, so that the major forces in Storm City know that they have this family as their backing, and they can do business with confidence in the future. The Jimenez family used this to make a lot of money and a little money for themselves.
The housekeeper nodded and said: "You are very self-aware! If you just seek the protection of the Jimenez family, there is no problem! However, Lord UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com sees a rare approval on the face of the eldest lady, allowing you to obtain the Jimenez. Nice surname, do you really want to give up such a good opportunity? You are the lowest clan member in Jimenez, and you can walk sideways in Storm City!"
Ren smiled and shook his head: "I am an exile, and I am very grateful for the approval of Lord Jimenez, but with such a noble surname, it will inevitably bring irreparable black spots to the Lord and the entire Jimenez family. I don't want to give the Jimenez family a bad name because of myself."
"Okay! It's your choice. Anyway, the lord said, as long as you hand over the recipe and fulfill your wishes!" the butler asked him, "Where is the recipe?"
Ren said in his heart, how can I have a formula? Those are system functions.
It is impossible to teach the people of the Jimenez family to make the so-called "magic food". There is only one way, and that is to make system tools and let them cook with these tools.
Moreover, not everyone can use the system tools directly, and Renne needs to arrange the corresponding roles.
For example, to hire a lumberjack, Renne needs to first arrange a system lumberjack occupation for him, and hand over the axe he made himself; a miner also arranges a miner occupation first and hand over the pickaxe.
As for making "magic food", it is necessary to arrange a "cook" profession and give him a dedicated stove.
The stove that Ren can make now is the simplest stone bonfire, and other advanced stoves need to be unlocked by upgrading intelligence.
The butler asked for the recipe, and Ren replied: "Actually, the so-called recipe does not exist, this is my family secret technique! If you don't mind, can you take me into the kitchen? I will show you this secret technique without reservation. !"
The housekeeper thought for a while, then nodded to him: "Come with me!"
"Yes!"
Ren followed the butler and followed him all the way to the kitchen.
