Half-elf Notebook

The furnishings in the room are simple and ordinary as always, with windows set up to cater to the guests' need to relax, and the most basic sofas and coffee tables, which can be seen at a glance.

If you have to say there is any difference.

That might be because this fairly spacious space was equipped with an extra set of sofas and coffee tables, a tea table for brewing tea and pouring water, and a separate tea compartment.

Ina's attention finally fell on a sofa, or to be more precise, on a man sitting on the sofa.

The real person, Cook Morbis, was calm, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen, waiting for the two women to arrive.

From the moment he entered the door, he had been looking at the two beautiful women.

He had clear facial lines and slightly upturned eyebrows like an eagle's. He was wearing a white jacket with gold edges and cloth patches on both shoulders, which looked like an officer's uniform.

The chest pocket of the coat was bulging, with a thin gold chain hanging from it, connected to a small gold pocket watch inside.

He had a stocky build, and the muscles of his arms could be seen through the wrinkles in the sleeves of his coat.

With an angular face.

It is obvious that he has been trained as a knight since he was a child, and even today, the owner of this body has not completely slacked off.

"Please take a seat."

When Cook saw the two girls approaching, he immediately loosened his fingers, stretched out his hand and folded it, indicating that they could sit opposite him.

However, he did not stand up to greet the guests, and did not choose to show the courtesy that an inviter should perform.

And that just goes to show something.

"Black tea or coffee?"

Cook seemed to be trying his best to appear friendly, but unfortunately, his loud voice and almost smileless expression made it difficult for people to feel friendly.

"black tea"

"coffee"

Ina remained calm.

Aixia put on a standard smile that she wore during negotiations, a smile that she rarely saw on her face on normal days.

Soon, two cups of steaming drinks were brought to the tea table by the maid. As the third person who was in the reception room from the beginning, she should be Cook Morbis's accompanying maid.

"Then let's get straight to the point. To be honest, I never expected that Miss Wester would meet a friend as prominent as Miss Berleman before you officially enroll."

Cook tried hard to force a smile, but it was obvious that he was not very skilled in socializing with respectable people, and could even be said to be inexperienced:

"If I had known this in advance, I would have significantly increased my assessment of your value and budget."

My value? Should I say that you are being rude, or that you are being straightforward? Budget... What do you mean by entrusting me with something?

No... That butler is so capable, it's unlikely that this noble young master doesn't have someone to assign. Why would he go to so much trouble to invite me... And what does this have to do with Aixia?

Many thoughts appeared in her mind, but Ina did not show the confusion caused by these thoughts and questions on her expression.

Ina summarized all the questions into one simple sentence.

"what do you want to do?"

"It's very simple."

Cook stretched out his ten fingers, crossed them, and looked at Ina:

"Join my team and serve as a thug and bodyguard. I will pay you a satisfactory salary, 300 gold coins per year. Of course, I don't need you to be on call all the time. Just be there when I call you. In addition, you can also take your vacations as usual."

Generous conditions, this was Ina's first reaction.

She had never experienced the life of a full-time adventurer, at least not like a normal adventurer, chasing commissions all year round and active in hunting grounds across the kingdom.

But having been in a bronze-level team, he naturally had some understanding of the income of bronze-level adventurers.

According to Ward, a bronze-level adventurer below the median level usually earns between 60 and 100 gold coins.

Sometimes, if you don't compete with ordinary hunters for prey, you will be in a dilemma of not getting any harvest all year round.

The income above the median level will be higher, but rarely more than 200 gold coins, because that often means taking risks and hunting an extremely dangerous fifth-level monster alone.

This is the salary for a dangerous job that requires a lot of traveling. Other jobs, such as being a guard or bodyguard, will be much lower.

However, the other party was willing to offer her an annual salary of 300 gold coins for a magician who was roughly equivalent to a lower bronze level magician, without knowing that she had magic items and magical weapons.

Moreover, it is a job that does not require you to be on duty with your employer for long periods of time and allows you to take vacations.

The provinces close to the northern region have long and cold winters.

The holidays that the college has arranged for students are inevitably affected by this.

The Magic Page Academy runs from October at the end of the year to February of the following year.

This is enough to illustrate the wealth of this noble descendant.

However, she was in no hurry to agree.

When she is calm, she tends to think rationally and maintain sufficient skepticism.

At this moment, Ina could feel her right hand being held softly and delicately, a gentle touch belonging to a woman.
