Dark Redemption of Elf

Ayton looked through the window at the ordinary young men and women with different expressions outside. His heart was extremely complicated, but he only had some friendship last night, so it was impossible to shut them all out.

But the problem is, he has something important to complete later, and if he goes late, it may be too late.

"Ariel, go wash the dishes and I'll open the door." After Ayton said that, he walked out the door. He could only deal with it for now.

Ariel froze on the spot, looking at the two empty bowls in front of her, but Xingye consciously stepped forward to clean them up...

......

When Reiner saw Ayton going out, he stretched out his hands excitedly and shouted: "Master, master, I'm here."

"..." Ayton's mouth twitched slightly, and he silently opened the peripheral door.

With an uncontrollable excited smile on his face, Reiner walked in in small steps, pointed at the bewildered crowd standing outside and said, "Master, these people said they knew you, so they insisted on following you."

"Come in, it's okay." Ayton glanced at them lightly and counted the number of people in his mind. Including Reiner, there were seventeen people in total.

Warren and Koenig looked at each other, suppressed their inner excitement, and stepped in, consciously walking half a body behind Reiner.

Ayton opened the door and led them to the backyard. Looking at the upright and energetic young people, he coughed a few times and straightened his expression.

"Tell me, what's going on..."

"Practice fighting spirit, master, didn't you say that last night?" Reiner's face suddenly solidified, he rubbed his hands and said carefully.

"...I know, don't worry, I won't go back on what I said. I'm asking the person behind you." Ayton slowly raised his hand, motioning for him to step aside first.

"By the way, don't call me master, I don't like hearing this. As for the title... let's talk about it later."

"Warren, tell me the reason first." Ayton turned his attention to Warren, who he met first.

"Uh, this big..." Warren stopped mid-sentence. He remembered that Ayton once said that he didn't like others to call him "sir", so he changed his words: "Master, all the Black Finger troops were wiped out last night, and now South Many places in the district are in chaos. If you, Master, can contact the forces behind it and control it a little, you will definitely be able to successfully control this place."

Ayton felt that the more he heard these names, the more uncomfortable he became. He was a salty fish in his previous life, but now he was really uncomfortable being seen in this way by others. He waved it off and said.

"Forget it, you should call me Sir first. Ahem, first of all, I have no interest in controlling the South District. I actually don't have any power behind me. I just know a few Yaolan noble friends. I don't want to follow the example of Black Finger and start an underground organization. You’ll get into a lot of trouble by then.”

Warren retreated. At this time, Koenig took a step forward, bowed slightly, put a hand on his chest, and said seriously: "Sir, since you don't want to form an underground organization like the Black Finger, do you need to Some loyal guards, we are willing to swear on our lives to be loyal to you forever!"

After that, there was a thud...

The thirteen younger brothers behind him took steps in a neat and sonorous manner, performing the same knightly loyalty etiquette as him, with particularly serious faces. God knows how many times they have rehearsed together!

Ayton touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face. The family guard thing... seems to be acceptable. With a little training, he can at least protect Xingye. But the problem is that he has too many secrets and he doesn't want someone to follow him around all the time.

In just a few seconds, Koenig felt like countless years had passed, and a drop of sweat slipped from his forehead.

Finally, Ayton sighed and said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, I am an ordinary adventurer. I know several high-ranking people in Yaolan. Although I have bought a house here, I will not live there for a long time. Here, so if you want to swear to follow me for the rest of your life, forget it."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience couldn't help but look disappointed. Fatty Reiner couldn't help but nervously asked: "Master... Sir, what about me? Can you take me with you to adventure in the outside world?"

Ayton shook his head, looked into his little eyes and said calmly: "No, I only said that I would teach you how to practice Dou Qi, but it was limited to the most basic knowledge. You must walk your own path in the future."

Finally, Warren heard the flaw in his words and stepped forward and said, "Sir, how long will you stay in Huangyao? Do you need any guards or attendants?"

Ayton thought for a while and said: "I don't know, maybe a few months, maybe a few years..."

Warren was immediately overjoyed, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Sir, Warren is willing to dedicate his loyalty within this limited time, and please take him in..."

The gangsters around him suddenly understood, and quickly knelt down on one knee and swore the oath of allegiance in unison. Reiner next to him hesitated, thinking that he shouldn't have to kneel down...

Not far away, two pairs of eyes looked through the window, covering their mouths and snickering, looking at him scratching his head.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to kneel down in front of me anymore, just get up."

Everyone stood up in response. Ayton cleared his throat and said seriously: "Since you are all temporarily loyal to me, I will not treat you badly in these years. Like Reiner, I will also teach you how to practice fighting spirit. method, and at the same time give you a certain amount of remuneration every month.”

After saying this, everyone's excitement was palpable. Not only could they learn the fighting spirit they dreamed of, but they could also have a regular job! Sure enough, I made a wise choice last night!

Only Reiner had mixed feelings in his heart. It was clear that only he could learn the fighting spirit, but suddenly everyone could practice it...

"But! If you have any evil intentions...your fate will be under your feet." Ayton's words suddenly became very gloomy, and he stepped on the soft soil below with one foot.

Everyone didn't know why, so they solemnly swore allegiance again.

Ayton stopped them and set his sights on Via: "What about you? Do you also want to be my guard?"

Weiya looked embarrassed and said repeatedly: "No, I just want to come here to thank you. Thank you and Ariel for saving me last night..."

At the end of the sentence, her voice became extremely weak. Fortunately, Ayton heard her and looked at her doubtfully: "That's it?"

"Well..." Via nodded slightly.

"Oh, well, I got your thanks."

Ayton nodded calmly, and when he was about to look at Eva, Via hurriedly stepped forward and waved, "No, I actually have something else to do."

"...what else?"

Via's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked back at the two-story mansion behind her, and said, "I would like to apply for a maid. Sir, you are new here, so there should be no maids..."

"..."

There seems to be no such thing as a maid. Before Starry Night came, Ariel was so tormented by him that she couldn't get out of bed last night. It was Ayton who got up early to cook. He was responsible for lighting the fire and chopping vegetables...well...

Although Xingye wanted to take on these tasks in order to repay his kindness, he valued her enchanting ability very much. Instead of spending time cooking, it would be better to look at the drawings... By the way, he didn't seem to have mentioned the development of magic to Xingye. The gun thing.

Thinking of this, Ayton nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll report back tomorrow morning. It's easy to talk about remuneration. By the way, I'm a very casual person, so you don't have to be so formal then."

Via immediately thanked her repeatedly with joy. Although her business was in decline, she still had the ability to make a full meal. Her main purpose was to use Ayton's relationship to give herself some background. She believed that if there were any creditors or something like that, she would come to them. If she has trouble with her father, he will definitely help her solve it.

Finally, everyone turned their attention to the face of Eva who was the only one left.

Even Eva, who has the toughest personality in the South District, seemed a little overwhelmed at this time. She grabbed the arm of the only woman present and pretended to be calm and said loudly: "I...I am also here to apply for a maid."

"..." Everyone was silent.

Ayton looked at this long-legged girl with whom he had only met once in a complex manner. Although her sexy legs were very attractive now, it could not be used as a reason. If Ariel knew about it, she would have to kill him. No skin.

"Okay, I actually want to repay your kindness. Thank you for saving my mother before..."

Everyone was silent again, but turned their attention to Ayton. No one knew what Eva's mother did. She was the courtesan of the East District back then. For this reason, she had received many looks from adults, so that she developed a strong character.

But Ayton actually saved her mother. Although I can’t believe it, Eva’s mother is obviously still working in that industry recently, which is a bit intriguing...

Ayton coughed twice, ignored everyone's strange looks, and said: "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart. If it's just a thank you, then please come back. I only need one maid."

"Wait, I..." Eva suddenly became anxious. If everyone else has cultivated fighting spirit but she has not, then these people will not be able to ride on her head in the future. She glanced around and said loudly through gritted teeth. : "Then I want to apply for a guard job!"

"..." Many people present turned their heads away in unison, pretending not to recognize her.

Ayton was slightly ashamed. This woman really didn't even give up her face in order to practice fighting spirit.

"Are you sure you want to apply for a guard? Let me tell you the truth. The guard I want is definitely not a showman, but one who can actually block the knife for his master."

"That's right!" As soon as these words came out, Eva calmed down, stared at Ayton, and said.

"I want to apply for an escort. I heard from Fatty that a little girl with silver hair and red eyes was almost caught by a black finger last night. I believe you are absolutely worried about handing her over to a group of grown men."

A group of grown men: "..."

Seeing this, Ayton's mouth showed a trace of amusement: "In that case, why don't I find other women to protect Xingye's safety, but find you who has no fighting spirit in your body?"

Eva opened her mouth, and the contemptuous tone immediately aroused her unwillingness to admit defeat, and she was completely prepared. She pointed at a group of grown men and said: "They don't have fighting spirit, why can they be guards? I can’t! And…”

Having said this, she took a deep breath, raised her chest slightly, and shouted with her loudest voice, "All of them! I have beaten them down with my own hands!!!"
