Chapter 842 Take the Bait
After leaving Berklund Street, Xifa went to the newspaper office and published a statement in the "Becklund Daily", officially breaking away from Baisen.
Then I went to the General Office of the Navy and got the admiral's identification and a new uniform.
In addition, Xifa was notified that he needed to go to the palace on Saturday morning, and King George III would personally hold an award ceremony for him.
Next, he had to go to Oak Island Royal Naval Base on Monday morning to meet the fleet officers and soldiers he would lead next.
After a busy morning, it was already noon when Xifa returned to Xingyue Manor. After lunch, the servant Conton brought a middle-aged man to the study.
This is the gentleman who was introduced by the "Metropolis Helping Household Servants Association" to apply for a housekeeper.
Xifa chatted with this gentleman for a while, and he had a good impression of this gentleman.
The other party was enthusiastic, well-spoken, and had experience serving a member of the House of Commons. However, he has just been qualified as a housekeeper, and the object of his service is only a member of parliament, so he doesn't know enough about Backlund's upper class.
Unfortunately, Xifa can only tactfully express that he will consider it carefully and make a decision tomorrow at the latest.
Afterwards, he asked Condon to give the gentleman a bottle of wine produced by the estate.
Next, people came to apply for the job one after another this afternoon.
Xifa earnestly communicates deeply with each candidate, and conducts a comprehensive evaluation from their clothing, mental outlook, conversation, past experience and other aspects.
It was already evening when the last applicant was sent away.
This afternoon, Xifa applied for five gentlemen, three for the position of housekeeper, and two for the position of manor deacon.
After consideration, Xifa decided on the candidate.
The 52-year-old Mr. Lordness is undoubtedly a suitable housekeeper. This gentleman has a lot of gray hair, and his blue eyes are full of wisdom brought by the years.
He has served many nobles, and the one who has served the longest is a viscount of a fallen kingdom.
This gentleman is strict in style, well-dressed, professional, understanding, and good at handling all kinds of troublesome problems.
Moreover, because he has served in aristocratic families, he knows a large number of high-class people, which just makes up for the lack of Xifa in this regard.
He also knows many professional housekeepers and countless servants, and he cultivates multiple levels. With his assistance, it will effectively improve Xifa's reputation in high-level social circles.
Another deacon of the manor, Sifa, has finalized Mr. Jeffrey.
This gentleman is 41 years old, in his prime of life, and has enough energy to take care of some trivial matters in the estate.
Moreover, this gentleman used to be the manager of a well-known restaurant in Backlund. He is very familiar with all kinds of alcoholic drinks and can give good advice to the servants of the manor.
Teach them to recognize all kinds of alcoholic beverages and be competent for many jobs.
As for the remuneration of these two positions, the annual salary of the manor housekeeper is 120 pounds, and the annual salary of the manor deacon is 60 pounds, both of which are set at the highest standard of Backlund.
In this regard, Xifa is not stingy, and he believes that only by giving enough generous conditions can they devote themselves to serving themselves.
He wrote a short letter to the two gentlemen respectively, informing them that they were welcome to come to the manor to work at any time after they had arranged their work.
Xifa gave these two letters to the servant Conton, and asked him to send them to the residences of the two gentlemen tomorrow morning.
In addition, he decided to let Conton be his personal servant and adjust his salary appropriately, which made him grateful and delighted.
After dinner, Xifa returned to the study, suddenly inspired.
He activated his spirit vision and saw Miss Verrier walking out of the sea fog, saying in an ethereal voice, "There is a letter from you."
Xifa asked casually, "Who sent it?"
"A woman who wants to be a man." Miss Verrier's light green lips slightly turned up, then she turned and left.
"Women who want to be men."
"Is this referring to Tracy?"
Xifa tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside and browsed, the content was very simple, only a few words.
Tracy wanted to meet Dean Wingeris, but this time, she hoped that the demigod of the Jagged Cross would keep a low profile.
Moreover, the meeting place is Bayam, not the Black Death.
"The fish finally took the bait."
"Well, it seems that Tracy is still a little sincere."
"We made an appointment to meet at Bayam, not on the 'Black Death'."
"If it's the latter, I suspect that she notified the Witch Sect and called her Sequence 3 mother."
"I want to set a trap to capture Mr. Dean."
Xifa shook the letter paper, causing it to turn red and turn into ashes.
That night.
When visiting the Fragrant Leaf Bar in Bayam, pirates, informants, and adventurers crowded the bar hall, and the drunken pirates clashed with adventurers from time to time.
Or swear, and greet each other with all kinds of nasty swear words.
Or wrestled together, overturned the table, and let the wine glass fall to the ground.
It is always so noisy here, so when a man wearing a red top hat, a double-breasted trench coat of the same color, and a pair of tinted glass glasses on his nose pushes in the door, people just take a look and look away.
One of the projections controlled by Xifa, the projection of Dean Wengeris went straight to the bar, knocked on the counter and said: "A glass of Lie Langqi."
As a projection, his eyes are not agile enough, but wearing glasses, not many people will notice this.
And now, it is remotely 'controlled' by Xifa who is far away from the bar, which is projected on the dialogue and dealing with various problems, without giving people a sense of sluggishness.
The bartender behind the counter wouldn't think there was anything wrong with the man in red.
Soon, a glass of Lie Langqi was placed on the table.
Just as Dean reached out to hold the cup, a voice sounded beside him: "I thought you would at least disguise, for example, change out of this conspicuous outfit."
Someone sat on the high chair next to him.
At first glance, it appears to be a male adventurer wearing a brown jacket and peaked cap.
But actually.
This is 'Vice Admiral Disease' Tracy.
Dressed as a man, she has a heroic spirit between her brows that is not inferior to a man.
Under Xifa's control, the projection raised its wine glass and took a sip, then said with a snort, "I'm already keeping a low profile."
"Indeed, you didn't fly directly like last time, you are very low-key." Tracy said without sincerity, and said to the bartender, "Give me a glass of Zalha."
"I thought you would drink strong alcohol, after all, men like strong alcohol." Dean glanced lightly at the woman next to him.
Tracy raised her eyebrows: "Do you hunters like provocation that much?"
"Aren't you worried that I'll turn around and leave?"
"You should want to know something about the Witch Sect?"
