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

After complaining, the woman suddenly looked at another cloaked man standing in front of her, and then asked in an extremely irritated tone,

"Wait a minute, I feel something is wrong~"

"That girl is indeed very mischievous, but I have never heard of any conflicts between her and the church. How did she mess with Alves' hyena? Has Lyonis found out the reason?"

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Vinish..."

At this time, facing the woman's question, the cloaked man bowed respectfully, then shook his head and responded,

"After learning about the movement from the church, His Excellency the Duke has ordered us to carry out an investigation with all our might, but despite our exhaustive means, we still can't find out the reason why Alves suddenly started targeting the young lady."

"However, now that the Duke has united with the royal family, he is putting pressure on the church. If there is no accident, there will be a result soon."

"but..........."

Speaking of this, the cloaked man's tone suddenly seemed a little hesitant,

"Your Excellency Vinish, you know that although Alves is a hyena raised by the church, he doesn't seem to fully obey the Pope's command. His Excellency the Duke is very worried. Even if the church responds, Alves Elvis will still choose to go his own way, so......"

"So, that fellow Leannis wants me to block the knife~?" Before the man in the cloak could finish speaking, the woman called Vinish spread her hands helplessly.

"Please, even though I received the reward from Aldan's family, that fellow Leannis should consider my difficulties~!"

"Even if you don't consider the influence of the church, Alves' crazy hyena is quite powerful, and he may have a [Hallowed Artifact] left over from the ancient times in his hand. I have no advantage in a direct confrontation with him~! "

Regarding Vinish's complaint, the cloaked man instinctively lowered his head, and after the woman had vented her emotions, he responded respectfully,

"About this point, Your Excellency Vinish, when I came, His Excellency the Duke explained it."

"Confession?" Hearing the cloaked man's sudden remarks, Vinish couldn't help raising her eyebrows, as if she was aroused, she asked curiously, crossing her chest,

"What's the explanation? Let's hear it?"

"It's like this..." The cloaked man took a breath, and then said in a serious tone,

"My lord duke said, if you think you can't solve Alves alone, you can try to communicate with the eldest lady. My lord duke thinks that the eldest lady seems to have a solution to this trouble."

"In addition, His Excellency the Duke specifically asked me to tell you something..."

"'Although she is not yet an adult, my daughter is already a fierce and powerful lion. Anyone who dares to underestimate her will be severely bitten by her neck!'"

"Hey~~" After hearing what the cloaked man said, Winnie narrowed her eyes leisurely.

At this moment, the woman instinctively recalled the first time she met the girl. The other girl was like a irascible but cute kitten, and she couldn't help but want to hold her paw, and then hold her in her arms. Feel free to knead in your arms.In fact, she did.

Although two years have passed, the woman still clearly remembers the ecstasy and wonderful feeling when the girl's soft body was weakly leaning against her arms, as well as the unforgettable Kissing, even today, is still fresh in a woman's memory...

"Hehe, is it a lion~~?"

At this moment, after associating the image of the lion with the girl in her memory, Vinice, who hugged her chest, suddenly panted for some unknown reason, and for some reason, a gleam of water began to appear in her eyes, and Her uneven body also exuded a sinking aura faintly at this moment.

After that, before the man in the cloak could continue to say anything, the woman's figure suddenly turned into a jet-black shadow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a bewitching voice in the room. faint echoes,

"Tell Lennis back, I'll take this job, but this time I want to pay twice, I've already accepted his share, as for the other..."

"Hee hee, let his precious daughter pay for it~"

ps: I'm sorry, I'm sick, I've been lying in bed for the past few days, and I just got better today

Chapter 100 97. A Day Trip to Port Chris

Half a month later, the cold wind with the will of late autumn blew off the last dead leaf on the treetops, and the world quietly revealed to people the news that Miss Dong's footsteps were approaching.

At this moment, the pier in Port Chris is still a bustling scene. Hundreds of ships are coming in and out of the pier. The sound of their exploration made the whole pier look very lively.

At this moment, an old man in gray cloth walked down the pier from an unremarkable passenger ship.After calmly watching the environment of the pier, the old man carried his luggage and walked slowly along the main road connecting the pier with the city.

At first, the old man thought that his journey would not be very easy. According to the normal rules of the current world, whenever a foreign tourist enters a strange city, he will inevitably be followed by the city's local snakes. Encounter malicious incidents such as robbery, theft, and even murder.

The old man was alone, with no companions around him, and he was thin, seemingly powerless. An existence like him was very easy to be regarded as prey by local snakes.

However, what surprised the old man was that, facing a "fat sheep" like him blatantly walking on the street, he walked all the way to the central area of ​​the city without encountering any malicious incidents, which is really inconceivable.

Faced with this weird situation, the old man thought he had been exposed at first, but after observing for a long time, he finally had to admit that his peaceful journey had nothing to do with his identity exposure, it was purely because the city's administrators had With a high sense of responsibility, the other party used strong means to forcibly create a strict order for the city that would allow foreign tourists not to be violated.

This kind of different experience made the old man feel a little bit emotional, and at the same time a little regretful, because he realized for the first time that a large city can really be so orderly.As for the regret, it is because the local snakes are hiding in the dark corners and cannot come out. Without a "leader", he will have to spend more time collecting information about the city.

That's right, the old man in front of him is the presiding judge of the Church Inquisition, which terrified countless people——Alves. Arrived at the destination of his trip.

"Candy! Candy for sale! Freshly made candy!"

"Hi sir, would you like candy?"

Candy?

At this moment, when Alves was carefully looking at the environment in front of him, a childish cry suddenly reached his ears. Alves took a closer look and found that it was a boy carrying a satchel , are selling their products to the people around them.

Originally, Alves didn't intend to pay attention to it, but after seeing the goods in the boy's hand, Alves suddenly stood quietly for a while, and then slowly walked over when the crowd around him was not so dense. , like an ordinary traveler, gently asked the boy,

"Son, what are you selling here?"

Hearing Alves' question, the boy was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened immediately, he took out a few candies wrapped in unknown materials from his satchel, and then looked at Yar with a little hope Weiss said sincerely,

"Sir, look, this is our unique candy in Chris Port. It was just produced from the factory today, and it is guaranteed to be sweet."

"Do you need it?"

Regarding the boy's promotion, Alves first took the candy and looked at it carefully, then took out a silver coin from the purse and handed it to the boy, and said with a chuckle,

"Here is an imperial silver coin, how many can you give me?"

At this moment, looking at the silvery round object in front of him, the boy seemed to have discovered a big deal. He swallowed first, and then hurriedly began to settle accounts with his fingers......

"The price of one candy is two copper coins, and the current market value of one imperial silver coin in Chris Port is 121 Chris copper coins. That is to say, one imperial silver coin can buy sixty candies and there is half a surplus."

"Because it is a wholesale transaction, I will give you the half of the candy, so I will give you 61 candies."

"Sir, do you think this will work?"

Watching the boy calculate the result at an extremely fast speed, Alves narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and nodded to agree to the transaction, while pretending to be casual and asked,

"Son, you are good at arithmetic. You can calculate the result so quickly. Could it be that the elders in your family are businessmen?"

Hearing the old man's inquiry, the boy, who was delighted at the conclusion of the deal, just put his hands into his satchel and was about to take out the goods, when he suddenly paused, and immediately after, he saw a hint of vigilance in his little eyes,

"Sir, what are you... asking these for?"

Seeing that the boy suddenly became vigilant, Alves, who didn't know what was wrong with him, had no choice but to make amends,

"Don't be afraid, kid, I'm just curious."

"Look, I'm just a lonely old man, or an outsider, do you think I have the ability to hurt you?"

Facing what Alves said, the boy blinked, and seemed to think that what he said made sense, so he let down his vigilance.

"It turns out that's the case, I'm still worried......Forget it, sir, I have to remind you, you should be a passing passenger from the look of your clothes, next time you see someone like me in Chris Harbor Such a kid who sells goods on the street, try not to ask him about his family background, because most of us are from orphanages."

Orphanage?

At this moment, after hearing the boy's words, Alves was subconsciously stunned. After looking at the boy again, seeing the clean clothes and neat appearance on the boy, he really couldn't believe that the child in front of him turned out to be Came out of an orphanage.

Unlike most of the high-level members of the church, Alves often dealt with children in the orphanage due to the special nature of his position, so he still had some understanding of the specific situation of the orphanage.

In Alves' cognition, the children sent to the orphanage are a group of poor people abandoned by the world, because they lost the care of their relatives, and most of the orphanages lack sufficient resources, making the orphanages The child can only struggle to survive pitifully.

Every time I saw those orphans, the children in Alves' sight always looked miserable. They were ragged, dirty, smelly all over their bodies, and there was only a hollow hole of despair in their pupils. , can't see the slightest hope, life is so humble that it is not as good as a dog.

But the boy in front of him, although he was dressed quite simply, just a set of old patched clothes, but his complexion looked very good, obviously his body had enough nutrition intake.

And most importantly, in the boy's eyes, Alves saw the longing for a better life...... This is something that should not appear in the eyes of an orphan.

"If you are an orphan, who did you learn your arithmetic from? Does the orphanage here still teach you these things?"

After being silent for a while, Alves stared into the boy's eyes and asked tentatively. Regarding Alves' question, the boy's small face suddenly had a look that Alves couldn't understand. pride,

"Of course not. Orphanages don't teach us these things. I learned my arithmetic in the technical apprenticeship school."

Apprentice technical school?

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Alves realized that he might have found some important information, so he quickly took out another silver coin from his pocket, handed it to the boy, and said kindly,

"Son, I'm a tourist who just came to this city. Everything here makes me feel very novel. If possible, can you take some time to chat with me?"

"If you agree, this silver coin is your reward."

Looking at the silver coin in Alves' hand, the boy swallowed instinctively, then he quickly took the silver coin, nodded fiercely and said,

"No problem, sir. I was born and raised here. I am very familiar with everything here. As long as it does not involve noble gentlemen, I think I should be able to answer."

After receiving the boy's reply, Alves smiled slightly, and just when he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed the flashing tension on the boy's face. Seeing this, his expression became more amiable,

"Don't worry, child, whether or not I get the answer I want to know, this silver coin will be yours."

"So don't be nervous. Believe me, I won't ask questions that embarrass you. I just want to know about this city. If I can, I would also like to hear your personal experience."

"Thank you very much, sir." Hearing what Alves said, the boy's face brightened a lot. "Just ask, as long as I know, I will definitely answer."

"Then, my first question is......" At this moment, looking at the boy who was swearing in front of him, Alves looked a little serious,

"What is the apprentice technical school you just mentioned?"

On the other side, when he heard that Alves' question turned out to be such "everyone knows" common sense, the boy quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and then responded happily,

"The Apprentice Technical School is the school where Chris Port trains apprentices."

"More than a year ago, the great Grand Duchess Katerina became the master of Chris Harbor. In order to save us from hunger and poverty, the benevolent Lord personally issued a decree called [Apprentice Act], At the same time a number of apprenticeship technical schools were opened in Port Chris."

"From now on, any Chris resident between the ages of six and 30, as long as they sign an employment contract with [the company], they can sign up to study in the school, where people can learn many skills for making a living, my Arithmetic is learned in apprenticeships."

At this moment, after listening to the boy's words, Alves looked a little dignified. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked in a deep voice,

"Are you saying that all residents of Port Chris can enter the Apprentice Technical School?"

"Yes, sir." Although he didn't know why Alves' attitude suddenly became heavy, the boy nodded affirmatively,

"And it's not just the residents of Port Chris, but freedmen from other places, as long as they can pay valuable collateral and are willing to sign an employment contract, they can also enter the technical apprenticeship school."

Hearing the boy's reply, Alves' face was so gloomy that water was pouring out, and the aura that had been hidden all this time was unconsciously released.

But soon, when he noticed that the boy in front of him was looking at him with terrified eyes, Alves quickly restrained his aggressive aura, and then said in a tone that became kind again,

"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now, and the clarity is a little out of control. Son, thank you very much for your answer, I have got what I want to know."
