Regan After going down, it didn't take long for a beautiful girl in gorgeous clothes to slowly open the door. She looked a little cramped and nervous.
"Lord Claire..." Wendy shouted softly.
After Claire noticed the other party, he also stood up from his recliner, walked to the sofa where the guests were waiting, and made an invitation gesture.
"Here you go, please sit down."
Seeing that Claire was still as gentle as before, Wendy relaxed a little and walked to the sofa and sat down carefully.
She hadn't talked to Sophia before. She was more respectful and grateful to Claire, but since Sophia had that conversation with her, Wendy Only then did she realize that Claire was the noble person in her life, so when she met Claire again, she was still a little panicked, for fear that she might accidentally make Claire unhappy.
Claire's eyes swept over her body. Now Wendy is a little different from the troubadour girl he met on the street before. She is more confident and exudes a transcendental temperament from the inside out. Coupled with her beautiful face, it is very attractive to some men.
But Claire finally focused on Wendy's hand. She was holding a mermaid sculpture in her hand.
Seeing Claire's gaze, Wendy's smiling face turned red and hurriedly explained, "I bought this statue when I entered Nafu City. I thought it looked pretty. And I also became famous because of the story of mermaids, and the mermaid sculpture at the city gate is very beautiful! I like it very much..." As he spoke, Wendy's voice became smaller and smaller, but his face became redder and redder.
Now she wanted to rub her face hard. She didn't even know what she said just now! The preface does not match the postscript!
Claire smiled and said softly, "You weren't that nervous when we met last time. Why are you not used to talking to people alone after seeing a big scene?"
"No, no!" Wendy quickly raised his hands and shook his head.
"That's good." Claire returned his gaze to the sculpture and asked, "How much did you pay for this sculpture?"
"A few Silver Coins..." Wendy nervously shook the statue in his hand, "It's heavy, and it's a sculpture of a mermaid. It's pretty and worth it."
After Claire glanced at it for a few times, he recognized the material of the sculpture. It was made of black iron. It was not very fine. It should have been made by some ordinary blacksmiths at Nakin Town. The cost should be about the same. The price of just a dozen Copper Coins. Because of the cultural attributes of the mermaid, it was sold at such a high price. If it were an ordinary sculpture, the price would be as high as thirty or forty Copper Coins.
However, this also reminds Claire that I have ignored the benefits in this area before. If I have time, I can guide Nakin Town's industry and make it an industry pillar. Make the sculptures more exquisite and detailed, and then sell them at a better price. Those tourists who are willing to travel to Nafu City will definitely be willing to spend some money to buy a souvenir when they go back.
Wendy saw Claire lost in thought, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this sculpture?"
"No." Claire shook his head and planned the sculpture carefully later.
Claire: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You often hear people calling you Master Wendy."
"I have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved what I have today." Wendy's face was a little red. It was like a person who had just reached a well-off level and was praised by a rich man as being very rich. It was embarrassing.
Wendy continued, "So after receiving your message, I rushed over immediately."
"Thank you very much." Claire nodded and said, "I will give you the price of every performance based on your normal appearance fee."
Wendy quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! I don't need performance fees!"
"Huh?" Claire was confused now. In his opinion, his relationship with Wendy was not good enough to not accept payment.
Now Wendy became nervous again, with a somewhat flustered expression. He unconsciously brushed the hair around his ears with his hands. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Um... can those words you said before still count?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wendy said incoherently, "No, no, doesn't it count? Can it still be performed? That's not right, it's just..." The more she spoke, the more unclear Wendy became. The words she just said seemed to be forcing Claire. She didn't feel good or polite, but she couldn't think of any accurate sentences for a while, so she became more and more flustered.
Claire looked at Wendy who was so flustered and couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked, "What did I say?"
But this helped Wendy get out of the chaos, "Just... just... you said that if I am interested, I can come to work at Nafu City, and you will arrange a related career for me. Do you remember?"
Claire's eyes froze, and he looked at Wendy's eyes in surprise. He confirmed from the other person's eyes that she was not joking, and then asked, "Seriously?"
Wendy nodded vigorously, "Seriously!"
After getting the exact answer from the other party, Claire became even more confused. He said this to the other party before he became popular. At that time, for Wendy, coming to Nafu City was indeed a good idea. Where to go, and now Wendy has become popular in the entire kingdom, and the popularity has exceeded Claire's expectations, so he couldn't understand why Wendy still came to work in Nafu City.
"How much money can you earn in a month now?" Claire asked.
Wendy replied while thinking, "I have been touring across the country in the past few months, and my income is not fixed, but it is about 150,000 Gold Coins every month."
Wendy is now regarded as the top of the pyramid in the troubadour industry. This income has exceeded that of some small and medium-sized aristocratic families. You must know that in the past, the Claire family, as a viscount family with Magic Ore, had an annual income of about one million, while Wendy's annual income exceeded that of a viscount family. However, only those at the top of the industry pyramid can earn so much money, and most troubadours are still struggling to make ends meet.
Claire pursed his lips and said, "I can't give you that much money."
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't want that much money!" Wendy kept waving her hands, fearing that Claire would reject her, "I just want to engage in work on troubadours in Nafu City. It doesn't matter how much money you give me."
"Then what are you planning?" Claire asked.
"I just want to be a pure troubadour!" Wendy said firmly, with a different kind of light shining in his eyes.
Her first enlightenment was during a conversation with Sophia. She understood that her popularity was not due to her own strength, but because fate pushed her to the person in front of her. In the following months, her understanding became even more profound. She was originally a troubadour from the common people. At first, she was stunned by the monthly income of tens of thousands of Gold Coins. Things that she usually wanted but could not afford were now within her reach.
Later, when her income increased, she didn't know how to spend all the money based on her knowledge. Her income of 150,000 Gold Coins per month, if she multiplied it several times according to her expenses, she would not be able to use it all in her lifetime. With more and more money, she became more and more confused. When she opened her eyes every day, she would arrive in a new city and repeat the Mermaid Princess performance that she had repeated countless times. She felt like she was about to vomit.
In this repeated performance, she forgot why she wanted to perform and the meaning of her original beginning. She could no longer find the simplest happiness from this job she loved.
When she was bored, she flipped through the storybook Claire gave her, and Wendy felt that she had come to life again and found the happiness she had when she was poor. She also confirmed it again. Claire is the noble person in his life, so after receiving Claire's letter, Wendy was not willing to wait for a moment and rushed over from the royal capital immediately.
