About ten seconds later, the light disappeared.
What Locke saw first was a pretty snow-white face, with a trace of frightened blush on it.
Her whole face looked extremely perfect, with a tall nose, and a trace of vigilance in the sky-blue eyes. Her long hair hung down her shoulders. Although she was wearing men’s clothes, she still looked elegant.
At the same time, she exuded an almost invisible noble temperament.
Overall, this should be the most beautiful girl Locke had ever seen besides Athena.
However, as he had stayed with Athena for a long time, although he felt that the girl in front of her was quite beautiful, Locke still remained calm.
“Which force do you belong to?” Locke asked, looking at Harrington.
“The No. 9 team.”
The No. 9 team? Locke was stunned. It seemed that he had never heard of this organization.
Seeming to see the confusion on Locke’s face, Harrington said, “The No. 9 team is a force directly belonging to the king. They usually carry out some secret missions, so ordinary people don’t know about it.”
Locke nodded. To be honest, although he was a level-5 practitioner now and could be considered a small master in the whole Grimm Kingdom, his understanding of the continent was far from that of some forces with a long history.
Thinking of this, he asked, “How many teams are there like you?”
“Nine.”
Harrington answered in a cooperative tone.
“The team leader of each team is a level-7 practitioner?”
Harrington nodded.
As expected, the nine level-7 practitioners belonged to the royal family. It was indeed a powerful force. Besides, no one knew how many hidden masters there were besides these masters on the surface.
The Grimm Kingdom was only a small country in the Icacia Continent, but there was such a powerful force. One could imagine how powerful the empires were.
It was urgent to improve the overall strength of Lister!
Locke waved his hand and said, “Okay, you can go now.”
Hearing that, Harrington was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Locke. It seemed that she didn’t believe what she had heard just now. She tentatively asked, “Do you really want me to leave?”
“Do you still want to eat and drink here?” Locke rolled his eyes and said in disgust.
Hearing this, Harrington was relieved. After taking a look at Locke, she turned to look at Locke and carefully and slowly retreated to the door. Obviously, she was testing whether what Locke said was true or not and whether he would suddenly attack her.
Soon, her back hit the door of the practice room.
She fixed her eyes on Locke and fumbled for the doorknob.
Creak!
She opened the door of the practice room.
A hand slowly stretched out, and she slowly moved towards the door.
However, just as Locke thought she was about to go out, he suddenly saw her body pause for a moment before coming in again.
“What else do you want to do?” Locke was speechless. He really didn’t understand what she wanted to do.
Then she looked at Harrington, who seemed to have made up her mind. Looking at Locke, she asked, “Can I stay here?”
Stay here? Did she have a crush on him? Locke looked suspiciously at Harrington.
“I didn’t mean that!” Seeing the expression on Locke’s face, Harrington hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “I mean to stay in this villa.”
Locke frowned slightly and denied it without hesitation. Not to mention how much trouble she would bring to him, even if there was an extra person to eat, he could not accept this.
‘Do you mean to eat for free?’
Seeing Locke’s expression of refusal, Harrington hastily added, “I’m willing to pay you.”
“Reward?” Hearing this, Locke changed his mind and didn’t refuse anymore.
“Tell me, how much do you need?” Seeing that it was negotiable, Harrington breathed a sigh of relief and asked directly.
On the other side, Locke began to make a plan. Level-7 teleportation runes, a level-7 space ring, and a level-6 dagger. This girl seemed to be very rich.
In that case, how could he not take more?
Seeing that Locke seemed to be thinking about how much she should pay him, Harrington became a little nervous. Did he want to demand an exorbitant price?
After thinking for a while, Locke stretched out a finger and said, “Ten thousand gold coins a day.”
Hearing Locke’s offer, Harrington felt relieved. It seemed that she was afraid that Locke would go back on his word. “Deal!”
Things that could be solved with money were nothing. The last thing she lacked now was money.
Well, the price seems too low! Seeing that Harrington agreed so decisively, Locke began to regret it.
With a wave of her hand, several big bags of gold coins appeared on the ground. “This is three hundred thousand gold coins, the rent for thirty days.”
Nodding helplessly, Locke said unhappily, “Well, you go first to find the man in a black robe. From now on, you are under his control.”
“Oh.” she said and slowly walked out of room practice.
“Whoosh!”
The moment she closed the door, she took a deep breath and felt frightened. “Anyway, I am right.”
In fact, she was betting that Locke was not an unpardonable person. It turned out that she was right. The reason why she chose to stay was not only to avoid the investigation of Dorothy and the others, but also to make friends with mysterious masters like Athena.
“How dare her!” In the practice room, Locke smiled helplessly and waved his hand to put the gold coins into the system zone. “But her identity is a mystery. Let’s talk about it later when the trouble comes. After all, she is now my ATM.”
Shaking his head, Locke entered practice again.
On the other side, when Harrington went out, she saw Thanatos waiting for her at the door. Besides, there seemed to be a broom.
Before she could get close, he saw the broom in his hand thrown towards her.
Subconsciously, she took the broom.
Just as she was at a loss and didn’t know what had happened, she heard the voice of Thanatos. “You will be in charge of cleaning from now on.”
It took her a long time to come to her senses. She threw the broom on the ground and ran up to him. She asked in disbelief, “How dare you ask me to do the cleaning?”
Thanatos frowned and raised his head slowly to take a look at Harrington.
Seeing this, Harrington took a step back subconsciously. She had heard from Dorothy that the man in the black robe in front of her was a super powerful man.
“I mean… Can we talk about it?”
“I’m a level-5 water mage. How can I be reduced to sweeping the floor?”
After taking a look at Harrington, Thanatos said in an emotionless tone, “I’m also doing the cleaning.”
