Chapter 300: 188 Chapters: Do you want them all? Can your kidneys handle it? (Added for the reward from Dameng Qianqiu cc) _2
This sly old thing.
He deliberately brought this up, which clearly meant, "We have already overlooked your past mistakes, so you should not fuss over this matter either."
This was by no means a negotiation; these old men were simply announcing a decision they had made long ago.
It was even a threat: if you don’t agree, then don’t blame us for settling accounts after the fall harvest.
Having understood this, Rose Vesper felt somewhat disheartened.
Dealing with these old men was truly exhausting.
Catherine seemed to realize that she could no longer say much, so she took a step back and returned to her original position.
"So, this matter is settled," Wozworth said with a nod and a smile. "For the two positions in the Hero Team, I first nominate my cousin, Violet..."
No, no, no, she is definitely not your cousin.
Violet could be your great-grandmother and still find you too young... Qin Chu mused in his mind.
"Miss Violet has a close relationship with Mr. Brave, and her strength is formidable; I see no issue with her being a member of the Hero Team. The three of you have no objections, right?"
Saint Monica, Augustus, and Zimmerman slightly nodded, agreeing with Wozworth’s suggestion.
They all knew the so-called cousin was sheer nonsense.
Violet’s origins are very mysterious; these people had investigated her, finding no clues at all, as if a top expert had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
But, this person was personally brought back by Qin Chu.
Now, Qin Chu’s reputation was increasing, his strength was growing, and his status was becoming more prestigious, so face had to be given to Qin Chu no matter what.
Still, this meant that four people were competing for one spot, vastly increasing the difficulty.
"As for the remaining spot, I recommend my daughter, Carol!"
"Although she is young, her talent is decent and not inferior to Lance; I believe she can achieve good growth beside Brother Qin."
The Princess named Carol elegantly curtsied to Qin Chu, her big sparkling eyes full of curiosity... but that gaze made Qin Chu feel somewhat creepy.
He always felt this girl seemed eager to dissect him into pieces for careful study.
Wozworth continued, "Although Carol’s strength isn’t very strong, she is proficient in Magic Potion Refining. I believe she can certainly become a solid support in the Hero Team."
"No, no, no, Lord Wozworth," Augustus shook his head. "I admit Princess Carol is indeed very outstanding, but... we’ve also heard some rumors about Princess Carol. Are you suggesting that our esteemed Mr. Brave should become the princess’s pet?"
"I fear if Carol joins the Hero Team, it might cause some unnecessary disturbances..."
Wozworth’s face instantly darkened; his daughter was all good except for her personality, which was indeed a bit troublesome.
He had wanted to marry this daughter off earlier.
But being a princess, Carol would at least need a son from a Marquis Family to match her status.
Unfortunately, Carol’s requirement was that either the other party becomes her pet or she becomes theirs; otherwise, life would be too boring.
But who would dare to treat a princess as a pet?
And which Marquis, or Duke would want their son to be someone else’s pet?
As a result, although Carol had reached the marriageable age, she still could not find a husband, becoming a spinster.
Despite being cheerful usually, right now Augustus was not inclined to give Wozworth much face. These old foxes would never give up real benefits for the sake of a false facade.
"Compared to her, our Holy Court’s Sherry, although only a Saintess Candidate, is absolutely the best among them and is to replace Rose Vesper’s position," said Augustus. "Moreover, Sherry is gentle and refined in nature; she is most suitable to stay beside the Hero, and she is also proficient in Light Magic, whether for healing or defense, she can play a significant role in the Hero Team."
A trace of malice flashed behind Rose Vesper’s lowered eyelids...
This damn little wretch.
Even reaching the age of a Saintess, she didn’t want to step down from that position; she even aimed higher, further...
And to say she would replace her?
What right did this little wretch have to replace her?
Sherry was unaware of Rose Vesper’s bitterness, her cheeks slightly flushed as she looked at Qin Chu with admiration.
Even though she bore the task assigned by His Holiness the Pope, her admiration for the hero had not changed.
"No, that’s not right..." Mr. Zimmerman and Saint Monica almost shook their heads simultaneously.
"Have you two misunderstood something? The Hero Team is meant to be a fighting force by the hero’s side, not a nursery. Any member added must be able to immediately engage in intense warfare and even take on the responsibility of protecting the hero."
"I don’t deny that Princess Carol and Saintess Candidate Sherry are very talented individuals, but their current strength is insufficient," Mr. Zimmerman stroked his goatee, a smug look on his face, "Compared to them, my Nadia is far more exceptional."
He pondered for two seconds and deliberately said, "Moreover, Mr. Brave and Nadia have always had a good relationship. I believe Nadia would be the most excellent choice."
The four major powers, the Wise Mountain had always been in the weakest position.
Although it included Nadia among its thirteen Great Sages... none had broken through to Level 90.
Even Mr. Zimmerman had been stuck at Level 89 for many years and might never advance further in his lifetime.
If he could get Nadia and Qin Chu on good terms, the status of Wise Mountain would immediately rise significantly... As for being breached?
Let it be breached then.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
If not by the hero, then by someone else.
Mr. Zimmerman had come to terms with this; since a breach was inevitable, why not choose the best option—someone who was also slightly interested and could incidentally benefit Wise Mountain?
"Mr. Zimmerman, have you forgotten about our Earth Mother Goddess Sect’s Holy Daughter? Inas is also at the level of a Great Sage, hardly inferior to Nadia," said Saint Monica with a gentle and charming smile.
Inas frowned slightly, seemingly reluctant, but she had no choice but to obey the Church Venerable’s command.
As four factions began a friendly exchange for the last spot, they candidly shared their opinions.
Qin Chu helplessly scratched his hair... Dignity, oh the dignity.
You are some of the most powerful and esteemed individuals of the Sky Dome Continent; isn’t this behavior a bit undignified?
After a long while, Qin Chu suddenly coughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten that I already have several people in my household..."
"Angelica has always been with me, serving me. She is the most important maid by my side, and without her, whether I’m outdoors or whatever, I feel very uncomfortable..."
"My relationship with Princess Antasia is also exceptionally good. We’ve become confidantes; a sudden separation would sadden me deeply."
"And there’s Norma, Karsas’s former fiancée, as you all know. Norma also possesses the combat strength of a Great Sage. She even protected me during Karsas’s rampage."
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
What did the hero mean by this?
Did he really intend to keep everyone to himself, leaving no benefits for others?
Seeing the varying looks in their eyes, Qin Chu gently tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, "Ladies and gentlemen, what I mean to say is..."
"Who decided that the Hero Team can only have ten members?"
"Why can’t it be eleven, or even twenty-one?"
Can’t I want them all?
Hiss!
In an instant, everyone drew a sharp breath.
Carol, Sherry, Inas... and even Nadia, all had very strange expressions on their faces.
Lord Wozworth blurted out, "Are you serious, you want them all?"
"Can your kidneys handle it?"
Pah.
The man with over a hundred princesses has no right to speak like this.
