The subtle contradictions in this matter made Ye Xiao realize that there seemed to be something fishy going on.
You can't tell anyone, not even the Dark Shepherds, but Deborah and the others are Dark Shepherds themselves...
Is all of this really just to prevent traitors?
"I understand. So, in order to carry out our mission, we need to find another way to join Miss Windsor's squire corps."
Miss Mofeng shrugged. "But logically speaking, Miss Windsor could just choose familiar guards and personal attendants from the family. There are limited spots, so there's almost no reason for us to interfere."
"About this,"
Raymond held up a finger, "Remember that Windsor's personal guard knight from the airship heist? Because of that guy, Duke Tyron purged a bunch of suspicious servants and guards from his family when he returned..."
"So, they are really short-staffed right now."
Chapter 146 A Thousand Pieces of Gold Are Hard to Find
"That's true, but we should have applied for the job earlier. Isn't it a bit too late to try and join now?"
Miss Mofeng still felt it wasn't very reliable.
"Not necessarily, as long as someone can persuade Miss Windsor."
Raymond lowered his head in thought. "Miss Windsor has been recuperating and resting for the past few days, and the Duke of Tyron personally oversaw the recruitment of servants for the household. There's not much point in us going; he certainly won't hire us."
"In other words, the only way to have a chance is to directly and privately approach Miss Windsor and build a relationship with her, and it just so happens that Miss Windsor has recovered from her illness and is hosting a banquet today..."
Ye Xiao picked up the conversation, then couldn't help but glance at Selene.
"So even this was part of your calculations, Miss Moon Guardian?"
"I am simply following the Sage's instructions."
Selene smiled gently.
"Yes, I understand. So now we need a master negotiator with maxed-out charm to approach Miss Windsor privately and persuade her to let us join the escort team."
Miss Mofeng nodded, then proudly puffed out her chest.
"Then, when it comes to the most charming person in our team, it can only be my beloved, super beautiful girl, Miss Mo Feng!"
Raymond covered his forehead in embarrassment, and several black lines appeared on Ye Xiao's forehead as well.
Only Selene still wore that doting smile, as if looking at a daughter. "I've finished explaining the mission to you. I have something to attend to and need to leave first. The rest is up to you."
"Leave it to us."
"Goodbye, Lord Selene." The group bid farewell to Selene and then continued to discuss their strategy in the lounge.
"Since Miss Windsor says so, then please go and give it a try. The banquet is still long, and we hope Miss Windsor will remember our kindness in saving her life."
Raymond first approved Miss Maple's request for action.
The orange-haired girl then held her head high, walked away with an arrogant gait.
"So, what do you guys think? Do you think Mo Feng can make it?"
Raymond watched Miss Maple's departing figure, then turned back to ask the others.
"it should be no problem."
Da Shan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth, "I heard that Miss Windsor and Saint Tania have a very good relationship, so there are even rumors that the young lady likes women... Miss Mo Feng is also quite cute and pretty, and she and Miss Windsor might get along well."
"It's a honey trap, you know."
Raymond couldn't help but chuckle. "Then let's hope it works."
ten minutes later.
Everyone watched as Miss Mofeng returned to the corner of the lounge by the same route she had taken.
"How about it?"
Ye Xiao asked.
"Forehead……"
Mo Feng scratched his head. "This place is way too big. I can't find Miss Windsor at all. And those servants on the way just wouldn't tell me. Honestly, it's like I'm there to cause trouble!"
"Tonight, many people will probably want to see Duke Tyron and Miss Windsor."
Raymond waved his hand, "It's normal not to find Miss Windsor in the banquet hall downstairs. The Duke is in charge there, and Miss Windsor is probably hosting a private dinner in a room upstairs."
"Why are you hiding in a corner instead of coming out to host a banquet?"
Miss Mofeng crossed her arms and said angrily.
"I heard that Miss Windsor is unwell, so she won't be in the hall for long."
"How do you know everything so clearly? You wouldn't happen to have feelings for Miss Windsor, would you?"
"What utter nonsense!"
Raymond's lips twitched. "Have you forgotten what we do for a living?"
"Then go find Miss Windsor."
Mo Feng forked a small cake from the table next to him and stuffed it into his mouth. "The pretty girl is already hungry."
"You've only gone ten minutes without eating..."
Raymond straightened up and straightened his clothes. "Fine, I can't do anything with you guys. Take a good look at the charm of this captain."
"I reckon he's been keeping these words to himself for a long time."
Ye Xiao turned her head and exchanged a glance with Mo Feng.
"Judging from the captain's hairstyle, I think it's unlikely."
Miss Mofeng shrugged, "So sleazy."
"What do you know, you little brat? This is called being charming."
Raymond tossed his fiery red hair and strode away.
"More like a mad cow."
Miss Mofeng snorted softly.
five minutes later.
Raymond swaggered back with his hands in his pockets and two servants by his side.
"Hey, you're back so soon. I knew you couldn't do it either..."
Miss Mofeng covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled, about to mock Raymond.
Unexpectedly, the latter casually gave a thumbs-up and smiled.
"Let's go, Miss Windsor has agreed to see us."
"……what?"
Mo Feng's words caught in his throat, and he turned to look at Ye Xiao in disbelief.
"Look at what I'm doing."
Ye Xiao shrugged. "Perhaps the noble ladies here do indeed prefer this style."
“I cannot accept this,”
Mo Feng couldn't help but mutter, "How could anyone like Incineroar?"
"Hey, it's not your problem if you're not as charming as others, but slandering the strong won't help you grow."
"I just couldn't find the way."
Mo Feng let out a defiant snort.
Fortunately, things progressed more smoothly than expected. The two servants Raymond brought led them up the stairs guarded by guards to the third floor.
Waiting for them on the third floor was none other than Sebastian, the handsome young butler Ye Xiao had met before.
But the moment Ye Xiao saw the butler, some doubts inadvertently popped into his mind.
Wait, I remember this guy was on an airship during the airship hijacking too?
But when I was rescuing people in Gray Peak Mountain, I didn't seem to see him.
"Welcome everyone, you must be the young lady's friends."
Sebastian bowed slightly to the group. "Please follow me. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
"We've been waiting for so long... Do we really have such a grand reception?"
Mo Feng was somewhat surprised.
The group walked along the winding corridor, going deeper and deeper, and even passed a magnificent covered bridge with diamonds and glass on both sides.
Many areas along the corridor were equipped with alarm arrays and defensive barriers, although they were currently inactive. Ye Xiao still asked in confusion, "This place... are we going this far in? Is this still considered an area for banquets?"
"Oh, this is not the banquet area. In fact, this area belongs to the family and is generally not open to guests."
Sebastian introduced.
"Then why did you bring us here?"
Several question marks appeared above Mo Feng's head.
"Because you are important friends who saved the young lady's life, the Tyron family never mistreats friends who have been kind to them."
As Sebastian spoke, he stopped in front of an extremely luxurious and tall gate that was clearly extraordinary.
He took out a gold key with intricate and delicate patterns from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently.
A moment later, the gate slowly opened, revealing a magnificent interior filled with dazzling treasures.
Expensive diamonds, enchanted weapons, rare items... at a glance, all sorts of treasures filled rows of display cases.
"This is……?"
"This is the storage room for the Tyron family's collection."
Sebastian walked to the door and bowed deeply to everyone. "The Tyron family has collected many rare and precious treasures in the world. As a reward for saving Miss Windsor's life, you may each take one item from them."
As they gazed at the various luxurious equipment and props inside, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
Ye Xiao even observed several weapons that were comparable to his longsword, Shadow Chaser, and were likely high-level epic weapons.
Even he would be tempted by such equipment, let alone players like Raymond who had never seen such rare treasures before.
However, this did not bring Ye Xiao the joy of a windfall; instead, it filled him with confusion.
“We are very grateful for the generosity of the Tyron family… but we are here mainly to request an audience with Miss Windsor.”
Ye Xiao frowned slightly.
Raymond, who had been dazzled by the room full of high-level Noble Phantasms, finally came to his senses and hurriedly nodded, "Ah, yes, yes, Mr. Butler, we mainly wanted to see Miss Windsor..."
Unexpectedly, the handsome young butler smiled and bowed slightly again.
"Excuse me, everyone, Miss is unwell and it is really inconvenient for her to receive outsiders."
"This is to repay everyone and my young lady for saving our lives. If you are not satisfied, the family can give each of you an additional two thousand gold coins as a reward."
"The Tyron family doesn't owe anyone any favors, but after this, please know when to stop. We hope you can understand."
Chapter 147 Proper Test
The team members exchanged glances, with Raymond looking somewhat embarrassed.
Sebastian's actions can be considered a form of soft rejection.
It's not that they were being disrespectful, since the promised reward wasn't small; it's just that they lacked human touch.
But it does fit the stereotype of nobles.
"It seems I misunderstood them."
Raymond put a hand to his forehead, lowered his head, and hid the embarrassment on his face. "Alright, then I'll thank the Tyron family for their kindness in advance."
Since the other party wouldn't allow us to see Miss Windsor, we couldn't force them.
"Wait."
