After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

Chapter 181 177. Benoit and Summer

Three days later, a torrential rain had just stopped over Goroldo. Due to the long-standing ruling group of Burros, who had neglected the management of the city's drainage system, after the heavy rain hit Goroldo, the road conditions in the entire city were poor. It has become a mess, and the roads in many areas are flooded with sewage, and the water level can even cover the knees of adults.

The most troublesome thing is that even if the heavy rain has stopped, this harsh environment will continue for a long time, because Gorado does not have an administrative department that specializes in dealing with stagnant water to solve the problem, and only the main roads of the city that undertake transportation tasks will There are business groups and nobles who jointly spend money to ask someone to clean it up. As for the stagnant water in other places, basically everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own doors.

In this regard, the residents of Coraldo were not angry about it. Instead, they were accustomed to it. They only cursed a few words violently when their personal belongings were damaged by the dirty stagnant water, and the object of the curse was not The country's ruling clique, instead let the bad weather take their toll.

There is no way, in this feudal era when humanistic thinking is still in darkness and ignorance, neither the people at the bottom nor the feudal aristocrats as rulers have yet developed a sense of social responsibility and personal power. The requirements are very low, and only the minimum level of security is required. As for civil rights such as public services, it is something that is undreamt.

This situation is not unique to Boulros, but is a common daily routine in all countries in the world. For thousands of years, this daily routine has formed a social consensus in human civilization. So far, no one has thought about changing anything. People take it for granted I think such days will continue forever.

However, at this time, the people of Gorado do not know that a change covering the entire era is coming, and all the old cognitions that do not conform to objective laws will be crushed in this change... …

At this moment, in a bar near the harbour, several service staff are holding wooden basins and dustpans, and are constantly scooping up the stagnant water in the bar outside the door.

Because the bar is located on a low terrain, this is also an area flooded by stagnant water. However, even if it is immersed in stagnant water, it does not prevent the bar from continuing to operate. Whether it is the owner of the bar or the customers who come to the bar, for stagnant water The problem is generally not very concerned.After so many years, everyone has long been used to it.

"Hey, have you heard......"

At this moment, in the bar, a man with a naked upper body and a scar on his face was holding a glass of inferior wine, loudly spreading the information he heard not long ago to his companions.

"It seems that someone went to the sword arena again just now. I heard that they still go in a team."

"Wow, who is the idiot? It's been two days and you still haven't given up?" Hearing what the man said, his companion patted the table in a boisterous manner, then stared at his drunken eyes and revealed a hint of mockery laughed,

"Hahahaha, it turns out that some people really believe the nobleman's nonsense, saying that you can get a thousand gold coins just by pulling out the sword. Isn't this a lie?"

"But..." Before the laughter fell, a hesitant voice suddenly sounded,

"Jack, didn't you try it quietly last night? I saw you, and Konya, I remember the day the sword altar was established, you seemed to be the first batch to try it?"

At this moment, with the sound of this question, there was a moment of silence in the bar, followed by roars of laughter. All the drinkers around slapped the tables and started booing, and the air was full of joyful atmosphere.

As for the two parties who were booed by the crowd of drinkers, one of them lowered his head instinctively, as if he was looking for a crack in the ground to sneak in, while the other stared fiercely at the companion who betrayed him, Red-faced, he started arguing with the people around him, trying to save his face.

But obviously, this kind of argument is doomed to be meaningless, and all his efforts soon turned into new jokes.

And just when the laughter in the bar didn't know how long it would last, a heavy impact sound suddenly sounded at the bar's gate. Suddenly, the whole bar fell silent, and everyone instinctively turned their gazes to the source of the sound. Immediately afterwards, people saw a burly figure appearing at the door of the bar.

The moment they saw the uninvited guest, almost all the drinkers in the bar widened their eyes, as if they saw something extremely rare......

The visitor was a woman.

Although the chance of appearing in the bar is not high, women are not rare enough to attract everyone's attention. The real reason why people can't look away is that the woman's body is too big. The door almost blocks all the light sources at the door, and there is not much space left between the woman's head and the ceiling of the bar. People can imagine that if the woman raises her arms, the ceiling will be properly propped up. Hole.

You know, for various reasons, the definition of women in human society is mostly associated with words such as slender, weak, and delicate, and this woman who is even stronger than a bear at this time is undoubtedly a challenge for people. The common sense, naturally also attracted everyone's attention.

On the other side, as the object of everyone's attention, the burly woman ignored all the eyes on her. After entering the bar, she unceremoniously examined everyone in the bar. In the end, her His eyes fell on a certain corner of the bar, where a sneaky man in a gray cloak was hiding.

As if she had found the person she was looking for, the woman strode towards the man without any hesitation, and then, amidst all the surprised eyes, the woman grabbed the man by the collar, and then looked like an eagle Like catching a chick, she grabbed the man fiercely, and then, without waiting for the man to struggle, the woman walked towards the door of the bar.

"Oh, damn it... no, I mean, dear Miss Summer, can you stop being so rough, don't forget you're a woman!"

After a while, outside the bar, the woman let go of the palm that was holding the man's collar tightly, and the man who was able to break free complained loudly at the first time. Regarding this, it seemed that the woman named Summer, Glancing coldly at the man in front of her, she said in a cold tone,

"Benoit, you are trying to escape again."

"I remember that I warned you when you escaped last time. If I catch you again, I will cripple one of your legs!"

"Now, you can make a choice.....whether to keep the left leg or the right leg."

Hearing the words of the woman in front of him, the man called Benoit's face froze immediately, and then he apologized to the woman with a flattering smile,

"Don't be like this, Miss Summer, we are close partners who have experienced life and death together, saying this kind of thing really affects our relationship...... Ugh!"

At this moment, when Benoit was trying to justify his behavior, he suddenly saw the woman in front of him stretch her hand behind her back, and then, a huge wooden-handled stone hammer emerged from the woman's back.

Seeing that the woman's palm had touched the handle of the stone hammer, Benoit's expression changed drastically, and a trace of panic appeared clearly in his eyes. He had no choice but to see it with his own eyes many times along the way, and was hit by the stone hammer in the woman's hand. He didn't want to be one of those unlucky ones at all.

"Wait, wait, don't do it yet!" Seeing the terrifying woman approaching her step by step, Benoit backed away in horror while screaming like a screaming chicken, his whole body seemed She looks very pitiful like a weak girl trapped in a corner by hooligans.

"I didn't run away, I can swear to the gods, I really didn't run away this time!"

"I'm just looking for information. Really, I'm not lying to you. I really came to the bar to listen to information, and......and I have found a way to pay you back—!"

Finally, after Benoit mentioned the word "repay the money", Summer, whose face was as cold as ice, stopped suddenly. Then, she lowered her head and stared at Benoit with a gloomy expression, with clear eyes Reveal the color of distrust.

It's no wonder that Summer reacted like this. It's really that the man Benoit is really not a thing.

Back in time a few months ago, Samo, who was born in a certain island tribe, had to go out to the civilized world because of a terrible tsunami that destroyed the territory of his tribe, to find a new foothold for the tribe.

And because of long-term isolation, Samo, who suddenly came to the civilized world, is like a child who doesn't know how to get in touch with others. In this case, she holds the last asset of the tribe. , of course, has become a big fat sheep in the eyes of some people.

Benoit is also one of these people, and because of his better appearance, he became the final "winner" and successfully defrauded Summer of his assets with rhetoric.

If Sam was just an ordinary woman, then this story would most likely end with a tragedy of a woman. Unfortunately, Sam is not an ordinary person. Yong, and she also has extremely powerful tracking skills.

In this way, the tragic role becomes Benoit.

After discovering that he was deceived, the angry Summer quickly found Benoit with his tracking skills. At this time, Benoit had already squandered the money he cheated, and there was not a single copper plate left. After figuring out the situation, Summer, who was extremely furious, almost skinned Benoit alive.

I have to say that although Benoit is a bad person, he is indeed quite capable. Facing the furious Summer, he forcibly stabilized the other party's emotions with his three-inch tongue, and finally agreed to double the compensation At the price, Summer was successfully exchanged for a temporary understanding. After that, the two had to team up and started a journey of flying dogs and dogs.

During the journey, Benoit tried to get rid of Summer many times, but in the end, not only did his attempt to escape and renege fail, but also made Summer's intelligence grow rapidly.

In addition, because of Benoit's series of bad actions, the direct consequence is that his credibility has become a negative number in Summer's heart, and Summer can't trust any of his words, so there is the current situation .

"......What tricks are you playing again?!"

After being silent for a long time, Summer, who seemed to have some concerns in his heart, finally stopped what he was doing. Immediately, this extremely burly female warrior stared at him coldly with eyes bigger than copper bells. Benoit for a moment, and then, a chilling voice sounded here,

"I warn you, Benoit, I have no patience with you, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise it will not just be a matter of breaking a leg!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I swear, I never lied to you this time."

Facing Summer's warning, Benoit nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, while apologetically apologizing,

"Please believe me, dear Miss Summer, I really found a way to pay you back."

"Also, if this thing can be done, it will not only pay off your debt, but also make us a lot of money."

Hearing what Benoit said, Summer narrowed her eyes suspiciously. After hesitating for a while, she slowed down and asked,

"Tell me, what can I do?"

"Ahem~" Seeing that Sam finally put away the evil spirit around him, Benoit patted his chest and let out a deep breath of relief. After that, he cleared his throat first, and then put on a mysterious posture,

"Dear Miss Summer, when you disembarked to find a place to stay, did you hear about the 'Sword Altar'?"

"Sword altar?" Regarding Benoit's remarks, Summer was slightly taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said,

"What do you mean? Don't talk nonsense, just say it, I don't have time to listen to your detours."

"Okay, okay, listen to you~" Seemingly aware that Summer's patience was rapidly fading, Benoit slightly restrained the charming smile on his face, and his tone became serious

"It's like this, Goroldo has recently changed to a new owner, and that is a beautiful Her Majesty the Queen."

"This Majesty recently established a sword altar at the gate of the palace, and at the same time, she announced a promise to everyone in the entire city of Gorado..."

"As long as someone can pull out the sword on the sword altar, then she will reward the person who pulls out the sword with a thousand gold coins!"

"Do you hear me clearly? That's a whole thousand gold coins!" Speaking of this, Benoit put on a look of joy, and the whole person looked extremely excited,

"Miss Summer, don't you have great strength? I remember last time you were able to push a stranded merchant ship into the sea by yourself. You can definitely try it!"

"If you can really pull out the sword before the others, then the thousand gold coins rewarded by Her Majesty the Queen will belong to us!"

"Think about it, what a wonderful thing that is, with a thousand gold coins, we will all have a wonderful future."

At this moment, looking at Benoit who was dancing excitedly in front of him, Sam could not help but narrow his eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.And just when Benoit couldn't help but want to persuade him because he didn't get an answer, the female soldier in front of him suddenly looked over seriously, and then, a very serious voice sounded in his ear sounded,

"The thousand gold coins are all mine, and I won't give you any of them!"

Chapter 182 178. The solution to the main contradiction

"Your Majesty, these are the documents just sent by the Government Affairs Office. As before, they are the self-recommendation letters submitted to you by your Excellencies......"

At this moment, in the study room of the Royal Palace of Coraldo, Avril Lavigne, who has just been officially granted the status of Chief Secretary of the Government Affairs Office, is holding a thick stack of documents and carefully explaining the source of the documents to Katerina. After Avril's explanation, Katerina, who was sitting at the desk, couldn't help exhaling deeply.

Then, as if encountering some headache, Katerina rubbed her temples and asked in a tone of irritability,

"Are these all? The words on the document are the same as the previous ones?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Regarding Katerina's inquiry, Avril Lavigne first lowered her head and gave an affirmative answer, then as if she remembered something, she immediately added,

"In addition, these documents here are not all, just some self-recommendation letters related to government positions above the 'six departments', as for the government positions below the 'six departments'.........several times the self-recommendation letters Letters are piling up in the government affairs office, and the relevant situation is the same as you see these documents now."

After listening to Avril Lavigne's words, Katerina's face seemed a little stiff. After a moment of silence, the girl suddenly let go of her palms that were kneading her temples, and then her vermilion lips were slightly raised, and she smiled coldly,

"Sure enough, I knew that there has never been an easy change in the world."

"Before, I thought too much about them. I thought they really had the consciousness to follow my footsteps. I didn't expect that they were waiting for me here."

"Hehe, this is really........Bones are cheap and need to be cleaned up!"

Following the sound of Katerina's words, the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and the air that was originally hot and dry seemed to suddenly become more chilly.

At this moment, Miss Chief Clerk, who was standing aside, could clearly feel the thunderous anger contained in her lord's tone. Although she didn't know how this anger would erupt, there was one thing Avril was very clear about... ...Someone is going to be unlucky.

"Avril, where is Kai now?"

At the next moment, Katerina's cold questioning sound came from Avril's ear. In response, Avril just tilted her head for a moment, and then quickly responded,

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Miss Kay is currently living in Your Excellency Andy's mansion, and there seems to be a very intimate and complicated relationship between them."

"Tell her to enter the palace immediately..." After receiving the reply, Katerina gave the order decisively. However, when the order was just said in the middle, she seemed to remember something. added,

"Wait a minute, let Andy Qing enter the palace together, so as to save him from thinking wildly."

After receiving Katerina's order, Avril Lavigne was ready to execute it immediately, but before leaving, she asked an extra question,

"Your Majesty, do you have any arrangements for calling Miss Kai into the palace suddenly at this time? Do you need to make any preparations?"

"Hmm~" Katerina responded calmly to Avril's inquiry,

"It's time to prepare. Remember to prepare suitable clothes for her. I plan to make her a duke."

Canonize the Duke! ! !

At this moment, hearing Katerina's violent remarks, Avril Lavigne instinctively widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost, and then subconsciously objected in a hurried tone,
