usurping the throne
Chapter 18
Levant turned Ide's shoulders, and the two looked at each other face to face.The last question was asked, "After such a big change, why didn't you go to the ruler of the Fox clan, the nobles, for help, instead of staying here?"
He couldn't allow someone to pour dirty water on the head of the mercenary union, but he wouldn't lose his cool either.
Such a cruel thing happened in the village, but Ede still stayed where he was.It's okay to say that if you are scared and stupid, but you can still analyze it so calmly.
He hates traps, hates betrayal.Who can determine whether this is a call for help or a premeditated trap?
If Ide can't answer this question, he would rather kill him by mistake than be resented by Steven.
"I went to the nearest town and looked for Mr. Pentax, but he went to the dwarves for something. When I was about to go after the dwarves, the city gate suddenly started to check. It was hard to get out, but every fortress They were all guarded. I had no choice but to go back to the village. But shortly after I came back, the village was also searched, and I was forced to go into the cellar. Until..."
There was no flaw in the narrative, and Levant understood why Ed could appear out of nowhere when the windows and doors were guarded.It turned out to be underground.There was no panic in the opponent's eyes.The probability of truth is high, and the story has no flaws.
Levant let go of his opponent's shoulders. "How long has it been since this happened?"
"Three days."
Three days, plus a seemingly endless rain.Enough to destroy all evidence.
There is no way to stay in the village.If the other party didn't catch Ide, they would definitely search again.It was all thanks to the heavy rain that they could rest so peacefully.If you can't tell your direction in the heavy rain, no matter what kind of creature you use to find your way, you will get lost.But once the rain stops, the searchers are bound to come again.
The three of them left the village and walked into the rain taking advantage of the time when the rain was getting thinner.
To appease the restless Garfield, who was drenched in hair, Levant slapped everyone with a short-term water-repelling spell.There are a lot of talismans in his space package, especially the water-avoiding talismans, which are usually not used easily, finally have a place to use this time.These talismans are enough for them to walk from the village to the town in the rain, and then walk back several times.
The group of people walked quickly, and they arrived at the city gate around noon, and Levant pulled out another invisibility talisman from his backpack.
Clamp the charm with two fingers and shake it, and the charm spontaneously ignites in the rain.
Then he slapped the half-burned charm, which was nothing but paper ashes, on the top of Ead's forehead.Explain the precautions to Ed.
Three people + an invisible man swaggered and entered the city without any waves.
Except for the stricter checks at the entrances and exits of the town, the city was actually peaceful.The destruction of an entire village far from the town has not even reached the town.
"Things are not that simple." Levant analyzed after carefully observing the surrounding situation. "There may be a little more enemies than we thought."
The news is so concealed, it doesn't seem like a handwriting that two chambers of commerce can do.What's more, there are ten nobles in the fox clan.
The four found the entrance of the mercenary union, and found that the mercenary union was surprisingly desolate. Not only was there no guard at the entrance, but there was also no reception staff in the hall.
There are also very few tasks that can be accepted on the union's list.
The originally empty mercenary union hall was broken into by three strangers, and someone quickly greeted them. "I'm sorry everyone, there have been some problems recently, and I will not accept any mercenary missions for the time being."
Levant frowned pretendingly and scolded, "Unlucky! I came here with the business group. I just wanted to see if I could find good goods, but when I went back to the chamber of commerce, the guys insisted that I double the time when I went back." The price! I didn’t follow them, so I found you. But you didn’t accept it?”
The man kindly explained "I'm really sorry, sir."
Levant looked at the man sincerely. "Brothers come out to dawdle because of their honesty. I don't want to go to the chamber of commerce. Can you take the three of us back?" Fu said again, "As long as you go back to the empire, you can take us for a ride." , the few of us are dead and don’t want to be with the unreputable chamber of commerce.” After finishing speaking, he secretly pushed his hand and handed an amethyst coin to the man’s hand, “We picked five Miluo fruits here and sold them. Some price. If you are willing to help this favor, we will pay another amethyst coin as a deposit."
The hand of the man who took the amethyst coin was trembling.
He doesn't know how valuable this thing is.
only--
The man gritted his teeth and returned the money. "No, really not, sir, what happened here recently—"
Levant added another amethyst coin, this time directly put the two amethyst coins into the wallet on the opponent's waist, and then patted. "We won't cause any trouble on the way."
"..."
The man gritted his teeth and leaned closer to Levant's ear, "When the rain just stopped today, all of our people left the city with the cargo. The cargo is heavy, so it shouldn't be far away. You chase it in the southwest direction... follow far..."
Levant nodded knowingly, and then handed over another amethyst coin, "Anyway, thanks, brother."
Levant, who turned his head away, turned completely blue.
If the trade union was attacked by two major chambers of commerce, in this case, the entrance of the trade union should be heavily guarded.but none.
There was no one at the entrance of the trade union, but they were refused to accept the task.Although the people who came out to greet them were mysterious, they didn't have many worries on their faces, and they didn't look like they were under pressure.
Looking at it this way, the trade unions here are full of problems.
Plus that person's last sentence.
The rain had just stopped and the road was very muddy.Generally, you don't choose to hurry at this time, or the kind of task that touches many people at once.Hurriedly on the road in such a hurry, it can only be explained that it is to cover up the breath.Heavy cargo that needs to be masked—
Then it can only be human.
What the hell...is the trade union really involved in this matter?
"Who was sent by the union to 'open up wasteland'?" Levant asked Garfield and Steven.The two shook their heads together.
Garfield never intervened in the management, and Levant had always been in control of the black market in Wilderness County.How could two people know this?
Levant was about to swear, when suddenly he saw Ide, who was invisible, slam into a pillar, then got up from the ground, accelerated and ran in another direction.
"What is he doing?"
Levant watched Ide running after the three orcs, his ashen face was green again.
The eyes of the three people were smeared with potion, and they could see Yide who was invisible.
Steven and Ed are old acquaintances.I guess this kind of thing happened too often, so I hurried over to grab Ede who was about to run out of the city after chasing after the three orcs. "got the wrong person."
When Ide was pulled back, his face was flushed with a faint blush.With a dry cough, he relieved his embarrassment. "How is it going?"
"All the personnel from the Mercenary Union have been dispatched to escort those members of the Fox Clan. We left the door as soon as the rain stopped today, and the destination is the Empire," Steven said.
"Very good." Ed concluded.
"Very good?" Levant wanted to kill.He hates traitors the most.Although he can only be regarded as an initiator in the mercenary union, not a person in power, he still couldn't calm down his sense of betrayal after learning that the mercenary union was really involved in this matter.
Perhaps, deep in his heart, it is even acceptable to slaughter clans and sell/sell/people/people.Only betrayal... only betrayal...! ! !
This kind of rage from the bottom of his heart had already made him lose his composure.
How the hell can you be calm! ! !
"Tet!!" Ah Zi screamed. "Don't go crazy, wake up!!" Twig mercilessly beat Levant's arm under the sleeve this time.
The pain brought Levant back to sanity a little.
"You are not a demon cultivator... Quickly adjust your mentality. You are going to become a demon!"
Huge hatred is a quick shortcut for practitioners to become enchanted.It is not a dream to transform a Taoist cultivator into a demonic cultivator overnight!Levant's resentment is particularly serious, so it's one night for others, but one thought for him.
This hurdle is hard to get over, and he is enchanted every minute without discussing it.
Levant was awakened, and quickly stabilized his mind.
Garfield and Steven felt the change of Levant's breath, and the animal's sixth sense made them look at Levant nervously.For a moment, the aura around Levant terrified them all.
Ed is completely out of the situation.
Perhaps, it is a particularly cruel thing to expect an orc who doesn't even meet the standard of sight to have an orc's intuition.
In short, Ede paused for a moment, and actually started to analyze it by himself! "It's a good thing that all members of the mercenary union have been mobilized... Ugh!!!"
As a former good friend, Steven covered Ide's mouth! !The boss is already like this, can you please wink a bit?Even if you really can't see your face...be aware of the air around you a little bit!
Levant turned his head and looked at the two with a blank expression. "Let go, let him continue."
Steven didn't let go, and kicked Ide hard while struggling.What are you messing with?I am saving your life!
Levant took a few deep breaths and calmed down. "I calmed down. Let him continue talking. I just want to hear why he analyzed it this way."
"This time the action is so hasty, it is certain that someone is framing the mercenary union. Moreover, this action will also expose the traitors in the mercenary union."
Ide: "It's really what they did. They will all move out and quickly transfer the house instead of keeping people behind and stopping accepting missions. Therefore, this time it should be a mercenary mission. As for who the employer is, If you catch up and ask, you can ask. The leader of such a big task may not be willing to take it, so the role of the traitor is not small."
At least he is a person who can control the leader to accept the task.
Levant was pleased with Ide's analysis.Picking up Yide's collar, he turned and left.Before leaving, he took out the invisibility amulet, lit it, and pasted it on.One second before it was pasted, Ide's invisibility talisman failed.But the figure was only exposed for a short moment before disappearing again.The time was so short that neither Steven nor Garfield could see clearly.
Holding the collar of Red Tail in his hand, Levant said as he dragged the stumbling backward Ide. "You go with me. If things are as you said, your life will be exchanged for the entire group of your fox clan."
"You... what do you mean?" Ide was dragged to the ground in an extremely embarrassing situation, but Levant's pace was too fast, and he couldn't keep up with Levant's footsteps.It was too late to turn around, so I could only be half dragged, half running.
"The three of us are going to save your ethnic group, and by the way, solve the internal problems of our mercenary union. If we go there and the situation is really as you analyzed, I want your head."
The hairs on Ed's back stood on end. ! ! !What did I do wrong to kill me?
Levant also took note of his own wording. "We contracted you to go to the empire to work for us... to manage the labor union on the empire side. The stall over there is too big for Sam to handle alone. We just need you to come and help."
After thinking about it, maybe this is a bit overbearing.Levant adopted a more democratic two-choice system.
"If you agree, go and do odd jobs for us, and the salary will be paid as usual. Sign a 10-year contract first. If you don't agree, the three of us will be treated as mercenaries and hired to help you work. You can also complete this task. But The three of us are worth a lot. Garfield is the elder, Steven is... the vice chairman of the labor union, and I am the director of the office. The three of us are all executives, and the cost of hiring is very high. Seeing as you are acquaintances, I will give it to you For a discount, I will charge you three hundred amethyst coins. If you can get it out, you can give it, if you can’t get it out, you can sell yourself to pay off the debt."
Finally finding the time to stop and take a breath, Ede tidied up his embarrassing clothes.Calmly: "I choose three."
tsk...
Levant wanted to try harder to threaten this red-tailed fox who was weaker than a scholar.
said Red Tail. "You also know me, my eyes are sick, and my body is weak. Staying in the tribe for a long time will not help the tribe, but will cause trouble for others. You are willing to help us, and you don't despise me...I am almost a waste existence. I am grateful to you. Therefore, you don’t need to give me any ‘salary’. I am willing to volunteer to help you.”
Oh oh oh!This answer really surprised Levin.
What a great news.
Levant raised an eyebrow.In his opinion, this frail but wise fox was much better than the others.Besides, there are Garfield and Steven in the armed forces, and he doesn't want foxes to fight, so what's the point of raising a litter of foxes?Is it possible to still watch and play?
tsk...
This idea is really b/t
He couldn't allow someone to pour dirty water on the head of the mercenary union, but he wouldn't lose his cool either.
Such a cruel thing happened in the village, but Ede still stayed where he was.It's okay to say that if you are scared and stupid, but you can still analyze it so calmly.
