Chapter 15 We Don't Know Her!

  If he had to use an idiom to describe Felicia's aunt's home, Rove thought the most suitable one would be - bare and empty.

  Apart from one dirty child wearing tattered clothes, Luo Wei couldn't see any valuable furniture. Looking around the dilapidated house with holes everywhere, Luo Wei felt as if he had entered a deserted and ruined temple.

  Knock knock——

  As Rove gazed around, Sell-Holdt clutched a small pouch tightly and swallowed hard, unable to bear the pressure with his dry throat.

  Even at the height of their prosperity, no noble spellcaster had ever set foot in Sellar-Holdt's home, so Sellar-Holdt had no idea how to entertain a spellcaster as noble.

  Sellar-Holdeen knew that Lord Nelson, the master of Asnath, had to eat a fat chicken every other day, but thinking about the price of the fat chicken made Sellar-Holdeen feel painful.

  Behind Selle-Holldin, however, the heavily pregnant Shanna was excited because what she had noticed was not that Rovei, who had just entered their home, was a necromancer but rather that this young necromancer was someone brought by her niece Felicia.

  Does this mean that the young necromancer intentionally took Felicia away, and as her only relative, he can demand some financial gifts for himself with this as an excuse?

  As an aunt, Sanna felt very sympathetic towards Felicia, this child who had actually escaped from the Nefaria mine village where the undead plague had broken out, it was... really lucky.

  But sympathy can't be eaten as rice, right?

  Ever since those bandits started robbing caravans on the road to Aslat, trade has been dwindling and my husband Sel-Holdt is having a hard time finding work. How can we feed our whole family just by farming a small patch of land outside the village?

  If it hadn't been for this reason, Sanna felt that she wouldn't have let her husband sell all the daughters in the family to slave traders when they finally heard that a slave trader was passing by.

  In the past, it was still possible to go to my brother-in-law's house in the mining village and live off them for free, but now if these money-losing daughters continue to stay at home, they will probably all starve to death sooner or later. Buying them as slaves would be a way to give them a chance to survive, wouldn't it?

  Sanna thinks so and believes she is a good mother who takes care of her children.

  So Sanna was unwilling to recall her original intention, which was that after selling the girls, not only could she save a large amount of food expenses, but also get several gold coins as rewards - gold coins that could be exchanged for grain at any time.

  "Mr. Holding, have you and your wife never taken any contraceptive measures?"

  Luó Wéi finally spoke up and asked.

  "What? Birth control measures... what is it?"

  Still in a state of internal conflict, wondering whether to buy a fat chicken to entertain Rovi's Selle-Holdin, after being pushed from behind by his wife, he suddenly asked back.

  Looking at Sellafield-Holding's bewildered face, what else could Rove do but shake his head?

  "Let's just forget I asked that question." Rove turned sideways, pulling Felicia in front of him, before continuing to speak to Selle-Holdt: "Mr. Holdt, a few days ago, as a mercenary, I accepted your niece Felicia's commission to escort her from the undead-infested Neffre Mine Village to her designated destination - your home. Now, please confirm that this commission has been completed normally and pay me the reward of five Rettputh gold coins."

  "What are five Rittergulden coins... Good heavens! Gold Ritters? I'm not... I, I..."

  Sellery-Holding, who was still in a daze and ashamed, suddenly changed his expression to one of extreme shock after realizing that the Rittergulden coin was actually a Gulden Ritter, he didn't know how to respond anymore.

  Selleck-Holstein didn't have five gold Ritters, and even if he did, he wouldn't use such a huge sum to exchange for someone who called himself his uncle.

  "We don't know her! Not at all! This girl is absolutely not our niece!"

  It was not Sell-Holdt but his wife and Felicia's aunt, Sanna, who hastened to utter such heartless words.

  After finishing her words, Sanna, who was pregnant with a big belly, subconsciously glanced at her niece Felicia, and then she saw the heartbreaking sorrow in Felicia's eyes, as well as the tears that were strongly held back from bursting out.

  Sanna's eyes fluttered for a moment, and she recalled the warm hospitality and care she had received from her brother-in-law's family in Nefrayer Mine Village over the decades.

  But the next moment, Sanna's heart was dominated by another emotion - I always bring gifts when I go to the mining village, so I don't owe them anything! Not at all! And... now they only have Felicia, a waste of money.

  "In other words, you have no intention of paying the commission that is due, and I can use this as an excuse to keep this girl by my side until she pays off her debt as a maid, right?"

  When Sanna's eyes turned sharp again, Rove also slowly opened his mouth once more.

  "That's right! This guy who impersonated my niece, whatever you want to do with him, Lord Wizard, is fine with us, our family has nothing to do with him at all!"

  Sanna listened carefully to Lovi's slow speech and almost immediately gave such a response.

  Sanna's face had already revealed a happy smile, she thought that Lovi, this pale-faced undead wizard, was definitely a fool with a bad brain - even if Felicia was much more beautiful than her own daughters, not to mention five Golden Retrievers, one Golden Retriever might not be sold!

  "Alright, you've made your point clear." Rovi nodded at the two of them and then shifted his gaze again to Kolenweh, the slave trader who was supposed to leave but hadn't due to Rovi's arrival: "Mr. Kolenweh, would you mind being a witness for me and testifying that this girl, who owes me five Rhett P coins, has no relation whatsoever with this couple?"

  "My pleasure!"

  Korvus's face was all smiles, of course he wouldn't pass up an opportunity like this to get close to Rovira.

  "Thank you very much."

  Ruo Wei nodded towards the slave trader.

  "What a pity, Felicia is such a good kid, I was planning to take her out to see the world. According to her request, I originally planned to casually sponsor her impoverished aunt and uncle with dozens of gold coins, but I didn't expect that she would even remember her own aunt and uncle's names and addresses incorrectly..."

  As he said these two sentences, Luo Wei didn't even look at the expression of Hua Ding's couple changing from surprise to stunned, and without hesitation, he pulled Felicia, who still had tears in her eyes but was already smiling with joy, out of this courtyard that he didn't want to stay in for another moment.

  Although Felicia didn't know, Rove actually didn't really want to take her in as a maid, but just couldn't bear to look at her.

  At least within three months, find a suitable place for Felicia to stay, who let me get the precious Black Ice Skull from her hands?

  Luo Wei thought so.
