This time, the landlady agreed quickly.
So swiftly that it seemed she had been waiting for his proposition all along. Fang Hao was taken aback, while the landlady revealed a triumphant smile.
The circumstances were clear.
Fang Hao had showcased a power that surpassed her understanding, Pruell City would even listen to his commands from now on.
If she continued to linger over this small tavern, it wouldn’t be a wise decision.
Moreover, it was her who initated asking for Fang Hao’s help last night.
“You’re not going to back out, are you?”
Seeing Fang Hao looking somewhat astonished, the landlady asked.
“No, I’m just surprised at how quickly you agreed,” Fang Hao replied, regaining his composure.
“So, what’s the fuss about it? You saved me yesterday and naturally, I’ll now have to ally myself and my folks with you.” The landlady once again revealed a smile.
“That sounds good, but we still need to sign a contract.”
“Sure, later on…”. The landlady was about to tease Fang Hao, but she swallowed her words at the sight of Anjia and the Lizardman nearby.
Fang Hao nodded, found a blank slave contract in the Book of Lords, and passed
it to her.
The landlady prickled her finger and pressed her print on it.
The radiance of the contract tunneled into her body, signifying the official
completion of the contract.
[Winnie’s loyalty towards you: 92 points.]
Good lord, the loyalty was directly at 92 points.
It was second only to the loyalty level that Lizardman Demitrija had upon recruitment.
[Winnie (Tier 1)]
[Faction: Human]
[Racial Traits: Living creatures, Learning, Rose Beauty. ]
[Skills: Brewing, gossiping.]
[Innate abilities: Elementary combat mastery.]
[Rose Beauty]: This unit is more likely to attract customers when opening a
shop.
[Brewing]: Has a profound understanding of brewing, able to make fine wines. [Gossiping]: Tends to pay attention to things conversed amongst customers. (Description: With both wisdom and beauty, Winnie is highly popular among the civilians, not only for her reasonably priced, high-quality wines but also for her exceptional bust…. in these times of hardship, Winnie is possibly a good companion you could ask for. Of course, it is all for the children.)
Fang Hao had always called her the landlady, the landlady.
Now only did he came to know that she was called Winnie.
Furthermore, Winnie also seemed to have quite good attributes.
Although not combat-focused, she was good at both operating a business and brewing.
[Rose Beauty] could attract more customers, and her brewing skills were perfect for running a tavern.
However, a regular tavern would find it hard to compete with the long- established ones in Lyss City. It would be better to focus on hot pot as the main attraction.
Looking at the final description, Fang Hao glanced subconsciously at Winnie’s abundant bosom.
He thought to himself, who isn’t a child at heart?
“So now, are we on the same side?” Winnie asked.
“Yes.”
“Then, may I visit your territory?” Winnie asked gently, a smile on her face.
“Don’t you need to rest?” Fang Hao asked in return.
Winnie looked somewhat tired having not slept all night.
While he did not mind bringing her along to see the main territory, the journey would still take several hours.
“No problem, I want to have a look at your place,” Winnie firmly stated. “Alright, let’s go.” Fang Hao got up and led the group outside.
Winnie also stood up, left a few instructions with the bartender, and followed
Fang Hao out of the tavern.
The group together left Pruell City, mounted the Giant Lizard.
Heading towards the territory.
Two hours later, the party returned to the territory.
Despite having mentally prepared herself, Winnie’s legs gave way at the sight of the city surrounded by endless Undead Skeletons.
She couldn’t help but tremble.
It wasn’t a city, it was more like hell.
The Giant Lizard entered the city and stopped at the lord’s mansion. Everyone dismounted the Giant Lizard, and Fang Hao took all the spoils of war from storage space, arranging for people to move them to their respective places.
Anjia and Lorrey left cheerfully, holding their chosen chandeliers and curtains. Turning around, Fang Hao saw Winnie’s face pale white, she was hesitantly still on the Giant Lizard.
“How was it? I thought your courage was quite big?” Fang Hao helped her down.
Winnie barely managed to get off the Giant Lizard, still needing support to keep herself upright.
Her courage was indeed greater than that of ordinary people, but not to this extent.
She was already demonstrating good mental strength by not fainting at the sight of hundreds of thousands of Undead gathered.
Fang Hao still had his own affairs to look after, so he called a maid over, and said, “Take her for a tour around the city and give her a briefing.
“Yes, master,” the maid answered, supporting Winnie.
After regaining some of her strength, Winnie followed the maid away.
She had already signed a contract with Fang Hao with no chances of alteraton thereafter.
All she could do now was to accept the reality in front of her as soon as possible. Fang Hao entered the main hall of the lord’s mansion and sat down on the throne.
Demitrija also took a seat nearby.
“Call for the Blood Hunter,” Fang Hao commanded one of the maids.
The maid agreed and went out.
Soon, the Blood Hunter landed in front of the door fluttering his huge Bat Wing and walked in with great strides.
“Sir, you called for me?” Blood Hunter greeted respectfully.
Fang Hao nodded, “Take a seat, let’s discuss the matter of the Blood Clan.” There were many heroes in the territory, but few of them stayed in the main city.
Nelson was still producing Skeleton Heroes, and the only ones left to discuss with were Demitrija and Blood Hunter.
As for Anjia!
It would be better to protect oneself. Inviting her to discuss matters felt like announcing overtime right after work, she would be disheartened.
Fang Hao continued speaking after Blood Hunter had taken his seat. “The Blood Clan’s occupation of Pruell City this time- to a large extent- is targeted at us. I’d like to hear your opinions on how this matter should be dealt with going forward.”
Both of them had been involved in last night’s incident involving the Blood Clan.
Demitrija and Fang Hao were responsible for occupying Pruell City.
The Blood Hunter was tasked with rescuing the residents who were taken away, and all of them had returned to the city this morning.
The operation was fairly smooth on the whole.
All the Blood Clansmen had been wiped out and their bodies thrown into the conversion field.
The corpse of the hero Cyril had also been sent to the Viscera Museum, awaiting Nelson’s treatment in order to be turned into a Skeleton Hero.
Hearing Fang Hao’s question, Blood Hunter pondered before saying, “Sir, Crescent Heights will not rest until they have retaliated for sure. I believe we should establish a fortress at our border to prevent the Blood Clan’s next move.”
Fielding’s public execution, considering the Blood Clan’s temperament, would most likely lead to a radical reaction.
“Hmm.” Fang Hao nodded, then looked at Demitrija and asked, “What’s your opinion, Demitrija?”
Demitrija replied straightforwardly, “Sir, I believe we should initiate an attack on Crescent Heights before they strike back.”
