Half-elf Notebook

"Aishia?"

There was no one else around her, so Ina turned her head curiously.

I saw Aixia, looking worried, slowly shaking her head.

Reject? Ina frowned, feeling confused.

Aixia's meaning is self-explanatory and easy to understand.

If we speculate further, there are only two possible meanings.

"Refuse" or "Don't agree right away."

As far as employment is concerned, the other party's conditions are not harsh.

If there is anything that is still unclear, it is probably the danger that needs to be faced, but this is actually the least thing to worry about - in terms of danger, the risks borne by the guards and the employers are the same.

An employer cannot expect an ordinary person to protect himself from an extraordinary person.

Cook Morbisken must have his own considerations for hiring her, even though her strength was only at the initial bronze level.

In terms of remuneration, it is generous for any professional of the same level.

However, despite this, Ina still chose to accept Aisha's advice.

Put aside the fact that he takes extra care of himself.

Given the advice of a friend you've known for many days and a sudden job offer, it's obvious which one you should choose.

After coming to the conclusion, Ina stopped thinking and took a sip of red tea - for the rest, she only needed to ask a question.

"What are the consequences if I refuse this invitation?"

"Not that there will be consequences, but I don't recommend you refuse, Miss West."

Cook's smile disappeared, and Ina could see that his expression was gradually becoming colder.

“No one would sit idly by and watch their interests being threatened.”

"You have to join a group, Miss West, and I must be the one who offers you the highest price."

"Think about it. If you are a half-elf and want to expand the 'spiritual crystals' that store magic power, there are only two ways. One is to buy a high-level potion specifically for this purpose, and the other is to find and complete a simple blood purification ceremony."

"With the rank you've reached, either method will require a large amount of money."

A simple blood purification ceremony? Purification of elven blood? It sounds like we need to find the real elves... I wonder if Mr. Ward and the others know anything about this...

Ina didn't care about the first method Cook mentioned, as she had already verified it herself. However, the second method was indeed a pleasant surprise.

At this time, Asia spoke in a serious voice:

"You are making a threat, Mr. Morbis."

"Threat? No, miss. I am just laying out the pros and cons and telling the truth."

Cook crossed his legs leisurely, tilted his chin up, and looked at Aixia with interest:

"Or does Miss Berleman also want to form her own group?"

"So, this Miss Wester knew you? Or should I say, it was because of this consideration that you got so close to a commoner in advance?"

In response to him, it was Aixia's golden eyes that contained hidden anger.

But he did not say anything bad or make any excuses.

Reason told her that this was exactly what the other party had planned, and Cook would achieve his goal as long as she opened her mouth.

At any time, in the face of prepared preparations and unfalsifiable doubts, excuses are nothing but weak sophistry.

What she should have done was not to respond to Cook.

Instead, think about how to prove yourself to your friends.

Suddenly, she felt Ina's hand holding hers. Unlike her snow-white appearance, a warmth like spring came from her.

The hand gently pulled upwards, as if wanting Aixia to follow her out of her seat.

"Let's end this matter here. It's time for us to leave."

Ina stood up and pulled up Aixia, who was still lost in thought and didn't react.

"I hope you won't regret the decision you make today."

Cook's expression was subtle, but it was obviously within his expectations. He stretched out his hand to signal the butler:

"Send the two ladies back."
