Chapter 572 Appointment
Chapter 572 – Appointment
Although Mahabhai’s words made Doug and Ferguson’s eyes heat up, Elvin rejected his offer without even thinking.
“I thank you very much for telling me this.” Erwin smiled, “But we won’t do a single superfluous thing until we receive clear instructions from Count Greiman.”
“Oh, that’s too …… much,” Mahabhai’s expression was very unfortunate, he couldn’t run to the Northwest Bay to meet Count Gleiman. So he turned his attention to Ferguson and Doug.
Since Erwin didn’t agree, Ferguson and Doug also firmly shook their heads, “Mahabhai,” Doug explained to him, “Lord Gleiman’s hiring of us is actually taking us under his wing, in other words, he’s our boss now, and we can’t defy his will. ”
Mahabhai listened and stared at them thoughtfully for a while, “Ha, I see.”
At that time, when he introduced these two mercenary groups to the job of going to the Northwest Bay, the employer at that time wasn’t Paul Gleiman ah, and a noble with the surname of Kent, associating Ferguson’s statement that he had been digging for coal for two years, it looked like these two guys had been captured by others after they had suffered a defeat, and obediently defected to that Earl Gleiman.
“You guys really found yourselves a good boss.” Mahabhai laughed out loud and patted the two men’s shoulders one by one.
Mahabayi’s laughter made Ferguson and Doug blush a little, the other party was also a Horned Cove person, I don’t know if they guessed the fact that they had become Count Gleiman’s slaves.
Mahabhai drank another cup with them and said, “Since you are sticking to your original mission, I won’t insist on it, but I still look forward to cooperating in other areas, which I’m sure will come sooner or later. I have business to attend to, so I will take my leave, and I have advanced the money for your drinks, so you may drink until you have enjoyed yourselves.”
He stood up, bowed slightly, and walked away slowly with his servants.
“Uh …… aren’t you guys going to catch up with that guy?”
Seeing Mahabhai walk away, Liszt asked the Raja trio, who seemed to be very interested in this intermediary just now.
“Haha, I don’t think we need him to give an introduction, we already have a target.”
Raja looked at Doug and Ferguson with a gleam in his eye.
“It just so happens that I’d like to get cognizant of the homies, so let’s go together and say hello.”
He had just heard that Bogdan’s words, and it seemed that the lord had sent mercenaries to protect them, the merchants who were still holding on to Horn Bay. Thank you Heavenly Father, thank you Earl Greiman, it was just too much to be grateful for. With the presence of these two mercenaries with specialized missions, at least some petty criminals would have some worries when they were up to no good.
Liszt led the three and came to Elvin’s side.
“Greetings, this is Lord Bogdan right?”
Hearing someone greet him, Erwin started to be a bit wary, then noticed the other party’s pure northwest-accented Aldo language.
He looked towards Liszt and asked kindly, “Is this gentleman also from the Northwest Gulf?”
“Yes!” Liszt saluted, “My name is Friedrich Liszt, I am the head of Todd Shipping Company’s operations in the Horned Bay, and I thank the Lord of Light for arranging this to allow me to meet my compatriots in a foreign land thousands of miles away.”
“Friedrich Lister? Todd Shipping Company, is that Todd Shipyard?” One of the people next to Erwin muttered in a low voice, and all of them showed surprised expressions, except for the two mercenary group leaders.
Lister noticed that it seemed to be his name from arousing the group’s interest.
“Why, have you guys heard of my name? As for the Todd Boat Company, that was indeed the previous name of my humble company.”
“What a fate!” The man who had just spoken out said in an emotional tone and stood up.
He smiled and said to Lister, “I am fortunate to meet you as soon as I step off the ship, Mr. Friedrich Lister, I am Dennis McFeder, a clerk of the Council of State, and unlike this Lord Bogdan, who commands the mercenaries, I have come to Horn Cove for the very purpose of you.” Came for me? Lister was very surprised.
Before he could recover from his surprise, the other party spoke words that made him feel even more shocked, “Congratulations, Mr. Liszt, our lord Count Paul Gleiman has appointed you as his representative in Horned Bay, from now on, his will will be conveyed to the nations of Horned Bay through you, this is a letter of appointment, please take it.”
“I I I I I–“
The dumbfounded Lister stuttered all at once, unable to utter a complete sentence.
He couldn’t be dreaming himself, his brain was a little dizzy.
“Mr. Lister? Mr. Lister?”
It was only after being called several times in a row that he recovered from the shock.
“Please accept your letter of appointment.”
“Ah, good …… good.”
After receiving the letter of appointment, he couldn’t wait to open it and read through it, and yes, what was inside was indeed the appointment of him as the official representative of the Town of Lakeshore in Horn Cove, with Earl Greiman’s seal stamped on it.
Geez!
“But …… but my original job!”
“Lord Lister ……” Geez, I’m being addressed in honorifics myself, “You have half a month to organize your previous work, and, not surprisingly, in half a month the new business manager appointed by Todd Shipping will arrive in Nisborough to take over. Head of Operations appointed by the Todd Line will arrive in Nisborough in half a month to take over your duties.”
“Has the company already made arrangements? That’s as good as it gets.”
In the end, he was also someone who had seen the world, Lister quickly regained his composure. He remembered, it did seem that there had never been an official figure or group operating in Horn Bay in Lakewood, and it was no wonder that the huge Council of State couldn’t find a suitable candidate to come to Horn Bay.
“Right, shouldn’t I take an oath or something, I remember that all the affairs officers admitted by the Council of State have such a procedure, similar to a knight offering loyalty to his lord.”
Dennis McField nodded, “Naturally, it’s a must. But it’s not appropriate for such a serious event in a tavern, so we’ll make it up to you when we’re settled.”
“That’s good, I’ll be sure to take it seriously.” Lister put his heart down.
The three Raja’s watched Lister and Macfield talk with great eyes, it seemed that their former employer had been favored by his lord, and all of a sudden he was entrusted with an important position and soared to the sky, that lord was not a small person.
Alas, when will I be recognized by the wise eyes.
“Oh yeah, I have three friends here.” Liszt pointed to Raja and the others behind him.
“They want to become mercenaries, and since there are two mercenary group leaders right here, can you try them to see if they are suitable.”
Hearing his words, Raja cast a grateful gaze at Liszt.
