According to the distance from the teleportation gate, the first, second, and third grade areas were divided. The deeper one went, the more guards there were. Not everyone could walk around casually.
However, when the guards saw Vivian, they did not question her further and let her go. Apparently, the little girl had some reputation in Red Flame Town. “Sister!” In the first-class area of the closed beta, Andy jumped into the little girl’s arms when he saw Vivian approaching.
However, Vivian’s attention was focused on the two strangers who were beside her family.
Sensing the girl’s gaze, Butler Robert smiled. Without waiting for the girl to ask, he took the initiative to speak first.
“Hello, Miss Vivian. My name is Robert. We met not long ago. Miss Vivian, have you forgotten? I was a guest at your house and praised your sewing skills.
“Ah? Guest?” Vivian was confused at first.
It wasn’t until her father, who was beside her, kept winking at her and mouthed the word ” maid ” that the little girl finally remembered. “You… You’re the one who made a deal with my father…”
Vivian could not be blamed for being slow.
After all, it wasn’t as nice as Robert had said. She was just testing Vivian’s worth as a maid.
However, just as the young lady was about to tell him that she had been sold as a servant, Butler Robert interrupted her.
He was deliberately avoiding it, even trying to make Vivian forget about it.
Robert cleverly changed the topic.
‘ Oh, right, Miss Vivian, please allow me to apologize to you. I took the liberty of bringing your father and brother here, but I think it’s better to be closer to the portal at this time. After all, it’s the fastest and safest way to evacuate from Fire Code City.”
There were countless commoners in the town who were desperately trying to move forvvard. Some merchants and shop owners were even willing to spend a lot of money just to buy a seat in the first-class area.
Therefore, there was no doubt that the butler was being very tactful.
To win Vivian over, it was not just a matter of words. Robert was very shrewd. He had been patient and did not take the initiative to disturb Vivian. Instead, he started with the little girl’s family.
As for the effect, it was also very remarkable.
“No, no, no! I still have to thank Luo… Mr. Robert, I’m planning to do the same. “Vivian quickly thanked him.
However, what surprised the girl even more was yet to come.
“Miss Vivian, according to the information I received, even if we teleport to Fire Code City, they will not open the city gates to let us in.”
As one of the ancient nobles, the Sisre family was naturally well-informed.
The Fire Code City had long been locked up, not to mention the large number of refugees this time. The major forces in the city, no matter how much they fought openly or secretly, were surprisingly united in the face of this incident. They unanimously put pressure on the city guards, demanding that they must not let this group of people from Red Flame Town enter the city.
But now, since this noble butler had taken the initiative to mention this matter, it meant that he must have already found a way to resolve it.
As expected.
His tone changed.
“However, my family’s Earl has contacted the city guards and can ask them to provide us with a special passage into the city. ”
“I just don’t know…”
“Miss Vivian, would you like to come with us and enter the city directly after the teleportation?”
Robert smiled and extended an invitation.
As the chief steward of a large noble family, he was naturally able to win people’s hearts easily.
“Really…Really?” Vivian was surprised again.
Then, the little girl quickly reacted and bowed deeply. She quickly thanked him,”Then I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Robert!”
“I… I really don’t know how to thank you for your great kindness…”
Vivian was telling the truth.
Without Robert’s help, it would be easy for the little girl to enter the city alone. After all, she only needed to switch to her second personality. However, it would be much more difficult if she wanted to bring her brother and father along.
‘ Haha, Miss Vivian, you’re too kind. For a powerful Spell Caster like you to come to our Sisre family as a guest after this crisis is already the greatest reward for us.
“Ah, this…This, this isn’t good, right? People like me…”
When Vivian heard that she was going to be invited to the noble’s mansion, she immediately flinched.
The little girl had the mindset of a commoner who was born inferior to others. After all, she had been a village girl for many years and had only gained strength for a few days.
Therefore, when faced with someone of a higher social class than herself, the girl would subconsciously feel inferior.
On the other side, when he saw Vivian’s panicked expression, a hint of disdain flashed across the eyes of the guest mage Lake, who was in charge of guarding Robert and was sent by his family.
In his opinion, the identity of a person at birth determined everything. They were originally lowly country bumpkins. Even if they obtained strength, they were still inferior to city people like them.
It was just an invitation, and Vivian was so flattered.
However, Robert, who was beside Lake, was the opposite.
The old butler did not look down on Vivian at all. Instead, he admired her even more and was determined to win her over.
Mage Lake only saw the little girl’s humble attitude, but what Butler Robert saw was Vivian’s extremely pure heart.
As long as they could build a good relationship with someone with unlimited potential and a clean mind, they would definitely be willing to sacrifice their lives for the family in the future.
This was probably why Lake had only managed to become a guest master after his entire life, but Robert had managed to become the chief steward.
But of course, even if the noble butler was shrewd, he could not have predicted that Vivian was pure, but the problem was that the little girl was not alone at all.
To be precise, there was a wolf cub with a heart darker than coal behind Vivian.
Therefore, Robert’s plan to rope Vivian into the family and even make her a member of the family was doomed to fail.
However, at this moment, he naturally did not know this.
The noble butler was still very enthusiastic about Vivian.
How can you say that, Miss Vivian? I’ve heard that even the famous genius mage Damir of Fire Code City is full of praise for you.”
” Moreover, the daughter of my Earl is going to the Noble Academy to study the Spell Caster profession this year. Miss is about the same age as you. If Miss can receive your guidance and become friends with you, I think even the Earl will be very happy. ”
“So, Miss Vivian, please don’t reject our invitation to be a guest at the Cecil family.”
“Alright, alright…Alright then.”
“After this crisis is over, then…Sorry to disturb you.”
Robert had already said this.
In addition, Vivian’s father, Anlu, was frantically winking at his daughter. He even kept tugging at the corner of the little girl’s clothes, almost tearing them.
In short, no matter what, there was no reason for Vivian to refuse. The girl stammered and agreed.
In fact, Vivian still felt like she was in a fog.
The young lady had never thought that she would one day be able to enter Fire Code City, enter the residence of a noble Earl, and even have the chance to talk to the other party’s daughter and become friends.
While Vivian was feeling nervous, worried, and expectant, Mage Lake Lake, who had been listening quietly, clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
Previously, he did not care even if Vivian was invited to the Earl’s house. However, when Robert mentioned that Vivian would meet the Earl’s daughter and even guide her, Lake could not sit still.
Everyone knew that Count Sisre only had one daughter, and he doted on her very much. It could be said that she was the apple of his eye.
This young lady would definitely inherit her father’s position in the future and become the Countess of the Sisre family. When a man held a high position, there would be women who would try to climb up to him. This was also a gender swap.
Countless young men wanted to build a relationship with this Earl’s daughter. After all, if there were any results, it would definitely be a carp leaping over the dragon gate and becoming a winner in life.
Lake was naturally one of them.
Furthermore, he had already planned to take advantage of the time when the Earl’s daughter was going to learn magic. He would make use of the fact that he was also a mage to apply to be her mentor. Wouldn’t that close the gap between him and the Earl’s daughter?
But who would have thought…Who would have thought…
Lake had done his homework and preparations for this, but at this critical juncture, it was actually snatched away by this little girl who came from some remote village!
However, Lake soon had no time to hold a grudge against Vivian.
As a mage, he was the first to notice the huge mana fluctuations that were rapidly spreading from the Teleportation Gate.
Soon, even if one was not a Spell Caster, as long as one was not blind, they could see a dazzling blue halo finally spreading out from the long-silent Teleportation Gate.
Steward Robert, who had been chatting with Vivian to improve their relationship, also shut his mouth and turned his head to look.
It could be said that at this moment, everyone in Crimson Flame Town looked at the teleportation gate that was emitting blue light at the center of the town. Even though the players had delayed a lot of time due to the wolf cub’s mission.
But in the end, at the end of noon…
This portal carried the hope of all the refugees in Crimson Flame Town. It also symbolized that they could escape from danger and stay away from those unknown and terrifying monsters…
Finally…
It was completed!
