Lord Chronicle

Chapter 201

In the next few days, because he couldn't think of any good excuses and felt guilty, Sol was afraid to go to Elebena.During this period, Buck and Igna successfully obtained the custom-made armor and a batch of incendiary bombs, and were ready to leave for the frozen plateau.

The night before the two left, Sol hosted a dinner at the mansion to send them off.Kress and Chip also came to participate because of the camaraderie they had once fought together.

At this time, at the banquet.

"Hey, let me say, you guys should show me some restraint..."

Staring dumbfounded at the two guys who were eating and drinking on the table, Sol took a while to say this.

At some point, Kress and Igna began to involuntarily compete for appetite.Two tall and burly men began to sweep the entire dining table, and all the food began to flow into their big mouths.

"Master, it's okay, I still cooked a lot." Marlene walked up with a smile, and put another large pot of stew on the table.

"That's right, I can't bear to eat just a little bit, Lord Lord, you are so stingy." Kress snorted.

Following him, he looked at Igna, "Speaking of which, you're pretty good at eating. Besides that girl Mira, you're the first one who can keep up with me."

Igna did not show any weakness: "Don't be too complacent, Dinar, if you are more appetizing, you are still a few blocks behind us barbarians."

"What? Damn it, let's wait and see." Kress was furious, grabbing a large lamb chop and stuffing it into his mouth like a demonstration.

Igna on the opposite side also refused to give in, and directly swallowed a basket of bread.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll bet 10 silver coins on Igna's victory." At this time, Reed also joined in the fun.

"Reed, don't make trouble for me..."

Unexpectedly, Jessie beside Saul also took out a few silver coins: "Then I will buy Kress to win. Kress, don't embarrass us Lovell."

"Hey, Jessica, why even you..."

Before Saul finished speaking, he heard a slap, and several silver coins fell on the table and rolled in front of him.

"Kress, 15 pieces." Chip said blankly.

For a moment, all eyes on the table fell on him.

"Chi...Chip!?" Thor couldn't believe his eyes.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the side and covered his mouth.Jessica picked up Chip's bet with a smile: "Okay, I will accept it for the lord."

"Hey, why replace me? I don't sit in the dealer... Wow!"

It was Jessica who stepped on him under the table, and then she winked at Sol and looked at Chip with a happy smile in her eyes.Clearly, she was delighted that Chip was acting so human for the first time.

This ruthless Captain Yeying finally began to accept the influence of the Lovells.

Saul understood what she meant, so he had no choice but to take the dumb loss: "Bet, bet, I'll just sit in the manor. Eat, eat you to death, anyway, the lord will be the host tonight."

"Hahahaha..." There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the room.

There was no way to take these guys, and Sol was forced to spend dozens of silver coins for gambling.He really didn't want to see these two big eaters betting on his food, so he simply called Buck to the balcony.

"Master Saul, we are leaving tomorrow, do you have anything to tell me to bring to Conte Baker or Team Leader Irfan?" Buck asked.

Sol said: "There is nothing special to say, please help me tell them that the Orc Empire is currently in civil strife, it is best to wait and see what happens, and don't attack rashly."

Buck nodded and said, "Conte Baker also said the same. He thinks now is the best opportunity for us to strengthen ourselves."

Conte Baker has such a clear understanding, Sol is much more at ease.What he is most afraid of now is that the barbarians will be dazzled by the victory and continue to invade the orc empire. It will be terrible if the orcs are forced to unite.

The last time the radical barbarians fell into Amada's trick and almost ruined the army, it taught them a big lesson, and they will not make the same mistake again.

As long as the barbarians take this opportunity to develop with peace of mind, the second and third cities will appear one after another on the frozen plateau. Is Lovell still afraid that the business will not keep coming?
"Master Saul, Master Saul?"

Just when Sol was thinking about his wishful thinking, Buck woke him up with two sounds in succession.

"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you to do." Sol coughed in embarrassment, and quickly said to Buck.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Buck said.

Sol pondered and said: "That's it, I think you should have no threat of war for the time being. Then, if I can spare extra manpower, I hope to hire some barbarians."

"Hire us?" Buck was taken aback.

Sol nodded: "Yes, as you can see, my territory has been developing at a high speed, and there is a shortage of labor and defense forces. Those refugees are suitable for work, but not suitable for soldiers."

"Therefore, I hope to hire some barbarians. You have good physical fitness, whether you are soldiers or workers, you are better than the Dinar people. Of course, I will pay you accordingly and will not treat you badly. "

Buck said: "I understand, I will convey your meaning to Patriarch Irfan."

Solha smiled: "Please tell him that in addition to being soldiers, hired barbarians can also learn blacksmithing or other skills. After a certain period of work, they can return to the frozen plateau at any time."

Buck still didn't understand the generous conditions offered by Sol, he said excitedly: "All barbarians will be honored to work for you."

The two talked for a while before Sol returned to the place where the banquet was held.Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they saw Kress and Igna with their big bellies lying on the ground and moaning, while Mira was sitting on the table as if no one else was there, chewing according to the case.

"What... what's going on?" He was dumbfounded.

"Woo, it's terrible... This girl is not human at all..." Kress muttered unwillingly, and then a full hiccup made him roll his eyes.

Igna, who was lying beside him, nodded desperately: "Yeah, we can't eat her together..."

Sol couldn't help laughing bitterly, of course Mira is not human anymore, you dare to compete with a dragon for food, it's fine if you don't make it to death.

"Then who wins now?" Saul spread his hands.

Jessica smiled and said, "Although Mira broke in suddenly, two big men can't even compete with a little girl. Of course, Mira won."

As she spoke, she spread her hands to Saul: "Dealer, lose money."

"Who...you pay it to?" Sol couldn't laugh or cry.

Reed pointed at Mira: "We all lost, of course it was to Mira."

Sol had no choice but to take out a few gold coins, and he was taken advantage of for a while.

Seeing Jessica hand over the gold coin in her hand, Mira bit it between her teeth, then frowned.She jumped off the table and handed the gold coins to Marlene.

"No, I don't want it, you should keep it." Marlene waved her hand quickly.

Mira just kept passing the gold coins in front of her eyes.

"Hey, since you don't want it, why don't you let me..." Sol salivated and stretched out his hand.

But there was a crisp sound, and Jessica slapped his hand away with a slap.

She gave Sol a hard look: "You want all the children's money, I'm so sorry..."

Following her, she said to Marlene, "Just accept it for Mira, it's useless for her to hold it anyway."

"Oh, good." Now that Jessica said so, Marlene nodded obediently and took the gold coin.

Following her, she lifted up the apron and wiped off the oily stains at the corners of Mira's mouth: "Well, I'll use this money to buy you some clothes tomorrow, and the clothes on your body are almost rags."

Mira didn't speak, just nodded with a smirk.

Saul and Jessica smiled at each other, despite their strange relationship, these two girls really look like a pair of sisters.

************************************************** ***************************************
The next day, Sol and Jessica went to the entrance of the town to send the two barbarians away, and then returned to the Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Marlene came up to him and said, "Master, there is someone who has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Who is it?" Sol was a little strange, who would come to him at this time?

"It's the old man named Gris," Marlene said.

"Gris?" Sol was slightly startled, what does this old man want to do?

Jessica said to Marlene, "Okay, we got it, you can do your own thing."

After Marlene left, she asked Sol, "What is he doing here again?"

Sol shrugged: "Who knows, this old man is cunning and cunning, don't you find out that the key is not in the hands of the necromancer at all, so he came here to ask the master?"

Jessica gave him a blank look, and slapped Sol lightly on the chest: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not fun."

Ever since she was with Saul, inadvertently, she has shown more and more the mood of this little daughter's family.

Sol laughed: "It's useless to guess anyway, let's go and see what he wants to do."

When the two came to the reception room, Gliss was sipping tea leisurely. When he saw Sol coming in, he immediately bowed slightly: "Master Sol, long time no see."

Saul and Jessica sat across from him, and they also replied with a meaningless sentence: "Yeah, long time no see."

Gris said with a smile: "You have completely resolved the threat of the orcs to Dinar, and your heroic deeds of destroying the Black Armored Cavalry in the Katyn branch have already spread throughout the country. It must be a matter of time before you get promoted. It is really gratifying. Congratulations."

Really not understanding the old man's true intentions, Sol could only laugh dryly: "It's easy to say."

"Mr. Gliss, I don't know that you are here this time..." Jessica Tisol asked.

Gris' face immediately sank: "Of course, I've also heard about the Necromancer Guild in Ruhr. Hmph, those guys actually hide so much power."

Sol was startled. Don't think this old man thinks that the Necromancer Guild is not easy to eat, so he wants to retreat?

Seeming to see his concerns, Gliss waved his hand: "Master Saul, please don't worry, our original agreement is still valid."

After a pause, he took a deep breath: "Well, I'll just make it clear. In fact, I'm here this time to attack the Necromancer Guild as planned, but I still need a little help from you."

Sol was startled: "How can I help?"

Don't let Das go around spreading the bullshit about me as a "battlefield lucky star", this old man also wants to take me with him, so as to increase his luck, right?
Fortunately, Gliss didn't have this plan. He said, "That's right. The guild didn't expect that the Necromancer would have such a strong army. Therefore, the certainty of winning may be a bit..."

Speaking of this, he said eagerly: "You have a very good relationship with General Pintat, we hope that you will come forward and ask General Pintat to hold back the large army of necromancers, and then the guild will raid them in the Zegel Mountains Headquarters, I believe there will be a great chance of winning."

Sol secretly thought that this was the case, and it seemed that Gliss was really afraid of the powerful army of undead.But his plan is really good. If Pintat cooperates to hold back those undead, they will be much more confident in directly attacking the weakly defended Necromancer Guild headquarters.

It's just that no matter how powerful the Adventurer's Guild is, it can't intervene in the military's affairs. Besides, it's still a war, so he can only ask Sol.

Seeing that Sol didn't answer, Gliss said again: "As long as we can break through their headquarters, we can definitely get the key back, and then we will immediately start the investigation of the ruins. I believe that there will be a lot of harvest, and of course there will be no less." Your share."

It's good that Gris didn't mention it, but when he mentioned the key and the relic, Sol couldn't get angry.

Well, you still want to fool me at this time?Do you really think that I'm the kind of idiot who would risk my life for a little money... You said that there are many treasures in Kajili?Uh, then just pretend I didn't say anything.

Jessica on the side was also very angry, she said angrily: "You..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Sol's hand.

Gris looked at her strangely: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

Sol winked at first to signal Jessica not to act rashly, and he followed, "She was a little excited when she thought about the undead's invasion of our town in the past."

Unexpectedly, Gris said, "Don't worry, we will definitely seek justice for Lovell this time. Then regarding General Pintat..."

Saul smiled and held out his hand to him: "You did this for Lovell, of course I have no reason to refuse, I will send a letter to General Pintat."

It seemed that the day when the key was retrieved and the secrets in the ruins were unearthed, Gliss's eyes flashed imperceptible excitement, as well as mocking Sol.

Following him, he also stretched out his hand, and the two foxes, one big and one small, held each other again.

Only this time, who will have the last laugh?

After Gliss left, Jessica blamed: "You clearly know that he is lying to us, why did you agree to his request?"

Sol didn't answer, but asked instead: "Jessica, let me ask you, do you know what fetching water from a bamboo basket is?"

"What kind of bamboo basket fetches water? Don't try to get in." Jessica was very dissatisfied.

Suo Er suddenly reached out and patted her face lightly: "Because I want that old man Gliss to fetch water from the bamboo basket..."

Then before Jessica got angry, he got up laughing and walked outside.

"Both ends are empty."
