Chapter 1279

The tax official smiled and said, "President Ariel ~ ~ ~ oh no, Baroness Garcia, although your title is low, your status is not low! After all, according to the general rules, civilians have always been civilians from birth to death, and it is impossible to become aristocrats at all. Although many civilians have spent money to buy some aristocratic status recently, the money spent is not a small amount. Like Baron guangzhongguang, it's amazing that you can obtain aristocratic status only by dissolving your guild. "

"Moreover, although many members of the former light of heaven joined the garrison, compared with the scale of thousands of people before the light of heaven, the number of people who followed President guangzhongguang into the army and became the Royal Pro guard this time is only about 200, which is less than two hundred. So it's good to arrange a baron for him. "

Ariel can understand this.

The army has military rules. Even if it is a loose and chaotic army, it must have certain rules.

Compared with the freedom of adventurers, there must be many constraints in the army. It is impossible to act as one pleases. Work must be supervised and assigned by superiors. As for the money earned, there is only a fixed salary. For some adventurers with powerful means of making money, the army really does not have much attraction. It's better to be a free and loose Ranger.

Thinking of this, Ariel squeezed her eyes towards the window again, then sighed and said: "I see... Alas, the largest and strongest guilds in our empire are like this, so it's not too far away to think of the gradual dissolution of other guilds..."

The tax official nodded gently: "Your Majesty must be very happy to get the approval of President Ariel."

At this point, Ariel nodded again. After two seconds of silence, the tax official patted himself on the knee, got up and said, "OK! Well, President Ariel, I have said what I should say. Next, I hope you can cooperate with the 50% tax... Please don't embarrass me? "

He paused, turned to look at the fairy girl next to him, smiled again and said, "then, I think President Ariel must have a lot to say to his old friends? In that case, I won't disturb you. I'll leave for the time being. Bye, ha ha. "

Ariel got up and watched the tax official leave the guild hall with a smile.

When the gate was closed, she found that the two guards were still standing here

Therefore, these two guards are not the guards of the tax official at all, but the fairy girl... Are they her guards?

Thinking of this, Ariel suddenly felt that her heart was pulled hard again. After the backhand closed the door, she walked slowly to the elf girl, without saying a word, and bowed directly to a lady's etiquette——

"Baroness Ariel Garcia, hereby ordered!"

The fairy girl saw Ariel suddenly begin to salute to herself. She was obviously flustered on her face. She got up immediately and instinctively wanted to reach out for help.

But when she was just about to reach out, the two guards behind coughed deliberately. The elf girl immediately understood her identity and task. She could only stop her stretched out hand and stand in front of Ariel again.

At the same time, the two guards also took out a very finely decorated small box, opened it, took out a piece of parchment decorated with gold silk edges from it, and opened it in front of the elf girl.

The fairy girl looked at the above words, took a breath and said in a very official word——

"Baroness Ariel Garcia, after half a year's work, your working ability in the frontier has been fully recognized. Now the element machine has initially taken shape, which is really gratifying to me. "

"Nowadays, there are many activities in the capital. All royal family members continue to come forward to show the people. You must work very hard to stay in the frontier all the year round. So I'm calling you back to Beijing. First, I'll let you contact the master and servant. Second, I'll report on your work progress. I hope you can leave today without fearing delay. "

"Menglang · blue, written by the 13th emperor of the blue bay empire."

After reading, the fairy girl exhaled deeply, as if she had finally put down a big stone in her heart.

In front of her, Ariel knocked her head deeply. When everyone couldn't see her expression, she said "obey your Majesty's decree." The sound of.

"Baron! Get up quickly and stop kneeling. You've really hurt me by kneeling to me! "

After reading, the fairy girl immediately left the direction where Ariel knelt down and came to help Ariel.

Ariel got up. In addition to the deep dust trace on her forehead, her face also flashed a happy expression and said, "I didn't think of it anyway. It was you! Our lovely elf ~ ~! "

The fairy girl pursed her mouth a little shyly and said, "Baron, you laugh at me again. Here, I order you to keep it! Hoo ~ ~ ~ after such a long time, I can talk to you well now. I really suffocated when the tax official was there just now! "

Ariel and the elf girl held hands, and they came back to their seats and sat down next to each other. After the fairy girl finished reading the decree, the guard over there seemed to ignore the fairy girl. He packed the decree, packed the box, placed it on the table, and sat down on the sofa next door.

It can be seen that their job is to protect the elf girl and pass the law to her. Now that it has been conveyed, their work is over.

"Baron..."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Ariel grabbed the elf girl's hand, put a slightly angry expression on her face, and said, "since just now, you have been calling me your Baron, your baron. Even if it's official business just now, why do you still call me your Baron? As before, call me sister! "

For Ariel's request, the elf girl covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing. But soon she regained her reserve and said solemnly, "that won't work, Baron. Your current status is Baron, and I'm just a slave. I'm so satisfied that I can sit on the same sofa with a noble like you. If you let me call you like before, even if I have great courage, I don't dare. "

Seeing the solemn appearance of the fairy girl now, Ariel suddenly felt that the sister she had known since childhood had a little separation.

However, in order to avoid this feeling of division, she immediately changed her mood and said with a more gentle smile: "what dare you? That's what you called me when you were a child. When we were young, we sat side by side. Wasn't it less? We also ate the same mouthful of bread and drank the same glass of water! Still as before, call me sister! Otherwise, I won't be happy! "

The fairy girl was really angry when she saw Ariel's expression, and her expression also hesitated. She looked at the two guards over there who completely ignored her. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "still... Don't, Baron... I'm a slave, you're a noble! Anyway, this is an identity that can never be crossed! If... If I can't know my identity like the Baron, I won't have a chance in my life... "

"Opportunity?" Ariel was slightly stunned and said, "what chance?"

The fairy girl smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, Baron, don't play charades with me. I know your excellency very well, so I will pay great attention to my identity and my manners! To be like your Baron one day! If you really want me to call you sister... When that time comes, I will call you sister again ~ ~! "

Ariel looked more confused: "what... What is like me? What's going on? "

The fairy girl loosened Ariel's hand, crossed her hands and held them close to her chest. She smiled sweetly and said, "hee hee ~ ~ Baron, you don't know. It's understandable ~ ~ ~! Hee hee, tell you in a low voice! I'm now... But I'm already the third mistress of the young master. "

"Young master's... (softly) mistress?"

Suddenly Ariel felt as if she understood something. Her voice slowly lowered, reached out again, grabbed the hand of the elf girl in front of her, and confirmed it again——

"When was it...?"

The fairy girl's face was full of longing and said with a smile, "Baron, do you remember my birthday?"

Ariel nodded at once and said solemnly, "yes, early summer, July 7. If I remember correctly, is this your sixteenth birthday? "

The fairy girl nodded vigorously: "yes ~ ~ ~ the young master didn't know where to find out about my birthday. On my sixteenth birthday... Hee hee... How shy! Baron, you are also the mistress of the second prince. How to operate here... Don't let me talk about it in detail... "

Seeing the fairy girl's longing and excited eyes, Ariel always felt that some parts of her heart had gradually cooled, her hands and feet began to be paralyzed, and even began to tremble slightly.

The fairy girl didn't seem to notice the change of Ariel, but continued to say in a very longing tone: "the young master promised me that if it goes well, he would give me a name in a while. In that case, I don't have to bear the number of 1231 ~ ~! The young master asked me to think about my own name during this period of time and said that I should think of a better name. Hee hee ~ ~ ~ Baron, you must have been so happy when you were named by Miss Alice? You must be like me. You can't sleep all night? "

She's really happy.

Ariel could see that she had seen such an excited expression for a long time. It could even be said that she once had such a longing.

Being given a name by the master... Does that mean being completely regarded as a family by the master?

Just like parents will name their son, only when they treat the people or things they value, will they get a good name, right?

It's just like when Sister Maria suddenly happily told herself that she was given a name when she was a child.

At that time, Maria kept telling her own name and telling all the other maids she knew, including herself. Even up to now, Ariel can recall that day very clearly. She was so happy when she got a name.

Yeah... Even herself

She, once a maid with a number of 1026, can be seen everywhere in the Duke's house. She may even hang such a number all her life like 99% of other maids. When she spends her life, she can get a name from her mistress at a very young age.

Moreover, it is the name of the legendary Mermaid

Ariel knew how lucky she was and how much other maids would envy her when she got her name so young.

This means that she can no longer be simply called "hello", "over there", "come here" and so on. When everyone calls her, they no longer use the previous no emotion number, but can call her by this name.

This... Was bestowed on her name by her reconstituted master.

Ariel stared silently at the elf girl in front of her... At the girl numbered 1231.

Looking at the expectation on her face, the longing, the girl who seemed to get her name in the next moment and climb up in one breath, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Baron, hee hee... I didn't say this to anyone else, just to you, Baron! Hee hee ~ ~ ~ the young master wants me to keep it a secret. This is the unique secret between me and the young master ~ ~ "

Facing number 1231, Ariel could only continue to smile. After a little silence, she said, "good sister, are you really sure that you can become the third mistress of the young master Is that all right? "

1231 covered his mouth and burst out laughing. The innocent expression on his face was full of joy: "Baron ~ ~ ~ don't worry! I will work hard to refuel! I will serve you diligently as Baron, and then do everything I should do! Oh, and I've started learning to cook recently! Of course, I know I may not have such a talent as Baron... But I will still work hard! Hee hee. "

Ariel's mouth twitched slightly, but she continued to say with a smile, "you are very diligent... However, my good sister, the eldest young master has a wife and two mistresses around him, right? Although you have the blood of elves, if you really want to be superior, I think you still need to make a little effort. "

As soon as 1231's eyes lit up, he immediately came forward and looked at Ariel with an open-minded attitude.

Facing her sincere expression, Ariel breathed out a little and said very seriously, "you need to learn and master knowledge. You need to know a lot of things in the world, and you need to know more people and things. From my point of view, the eldest young master's wife is the daughter of the count of Saigon. She is beautiful and generous, but she doesn't have much knowledge on weekdays. She just married into the Duke's palace with identity and beauty. The other two mistresses of the young master... Although I haven't seen them much, they seem to have been found in the Fengyue place. They can make the young master laugh and enchanting enough, but their brains should not be very good. "

"In this case, I really suggest you read more books. Ah, if you need it, I have some books on the customs of all races, regions and countries in the world. I can lend them to you first. You can take them and read them. "

Ariel's original voice seemed very gentle, but later she said it more and more urgently. She looked at the 1231 in front of her and her eyes that seemed to want to think about nothing except love.

Ariel was really worried. Because she was worried, she didn't care what the girl in front was thinking, but said it all at one breath. Then she immediately got up, went to the shelf behind the counter, took down a lot of books, searched them, took out several books and hurried over.

Naturally, the two guards who were resting over there also heard the situation here. They looked back and glanced at Ariel, who was in a hurry to find books. They couldn't help but show a mocking smile. Then they continued to look back and didn't take a look at it.

Lovely lil didn't care. She took those books back, spread them in front of No. 1231, exhaled and said——

"Good sister, should you have no problem with literacy? There will be basic knowledge and education in the Duke's house, right? Can you read a few words? "

Looking at Ariel's impatient appearance, No. 1231 frowned slightly and said, "well... There was such knowledge and education when the Baron was in the past. But after you left, Baron, I don't know how, the academic education in the Duke's house stopped. Many new sisters don't know how to read, and the head maid doesn't teach them. We just have to remember what we want to do. "
