Lord Chronicle

Chapter 83 Evil Smile
After returning to Lovell, Rulet immediately went to report the results of the operation to Raul.Saul was not in a hurry, and pulled Mira Shi back to the Lord's Mansion.

A few days later, he found someone to invite Raul.It can be seen that Raul is worrying about the ruins these days, so he cut straight to the point as soon as he entered the door: "The lord is so eager to find me, what's the matter?"

This is exactly what Sol would like to see. He smiled and greeted Raul to sit down: "Congratulations to the Adventurer's Guild for finding the ruins. Everything must be going well, right?"

Raul couldn't help but startled, not understanding why he said this.He said slightly guardedly: "Don't worry about it. If Mr. Saul wants to rent Mira's fee, I will send someone to send it immediately."

Saul couldn't help but feel a little depressed, do I seem to be such a money fan?He coughed dryly: "That's it, I accidentally saw in the ruins, there is something on that door that is..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Raul interrupted him: "Rulet has already reported this to me. I think it was an accident, so I believe that the lord did not intend to spy on the secrets of the ruins."

Of course Sol could hear that he didn't want him to get involved in this matter, but if he didn't talk about it, how could he achieve his goal?He chuckled: "Of course, I have no interest in the ruins. It's just based on the friendship between the two parties. I am very concerned about how the guild can get that thing back. If I remember correctly, it seems to have fallen into Cliff's hands." .”

Hearing this, Raul couldn't help but change his face slightly. In fact, he has been troubled by this these days.That thing was indeed taken by the guild sending Rulet's team to Bravella, so they knew early on that the operation had failed.

However, the matter of the ruins had not yet been settled at that time, so it did not cause too much trouble.But after the ruins were discovered and it was confirmed that that thing was the key to entering it, how to get it back became a troublesome matter.

Although he doesn't know the reason why Cliff took the dragon's treasure, but with his power, it is not so easy to get it back.What's more troublesome is that the guild is still not sure whether Cliff also knows about the ruins.

Now that Sol took the initiative to mention it, Raul couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Saul pretended to be puzzled and said: "It's not interesting. It's just based on the friendship between the two parties, just care about it."

Raul's face darkened: "Thank you for your concern. But we have already made an agreement, please don't try to interfere with anything in the ruins, it will be good for you and us."

Thor waved his hands again and again: "Ah, I think you misunderstood. I thought I could help, but I didn't expect the guild to have a solution. I'm really overwhelmed."

Raul raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you have a solution?"

Sol nodded: "Yes, but since you have already solved it, please forget what you just said."

Raul hesitated, and leaned closer: "No, it's always good to have another solution. If you don't mind, can you tell me what you can do?"

Sol was secretly amused, and he also pretended to be sincere and said: "I think, with Cliff's power in the kingdom, it is very difficult to rob. And in order to avoid revealing the secrets of the ruins, we can't contact him directly." .So I think there is only one way, and that is—to steal."

"Please go on." Raul took a slow breath.

Thor continued: "It just so happened that the Thieves Guild owed me a favor, so I thought maybe I could ask them to steal the item back. Of course, this is just my humble opinion, so you can laugh at me."

In fact, Sol has already considered this matter, otherwise he would not be so confident.Whether it is open or dark, the Adventurer's Guild will have a hard time getting that thing back from Cliff, so the only way left is to steal it.

However, due to the limitations of their profession, the adventurers under the guild are obviously not suitable for this job, so they can only ask professionals.But the first time Sol met with Rulert, they were chasing Garrett's mentor and apprentice. Obviously, there was a lot of conflict between the two sides, so this road basically didn't work.So if you propose it yourself, the other party will be very interested.

Sure enough, his words made Raul's eyes light up, and his expression changed several times, obviously greatly moved.Finally he nodded and said: "I am really touched by your enthusiasm. I will report this matter to my superiors. No matter what, we will never forget your generous help this time."

Saul was secretly amused when he heard it, and pretended to me at this time, now you only have this way to go.He was almost 100% sure that these guys would definitely come to him again.

After being polite and sending away the worried Raul, Sol leisurely waited for the guild to come to his door for the second time.Sure enough, within a few days, Gliss came to the door again.

The old man still had the same smiling face, and he was polite first before getting to the point: "Last time, the lord said that you can contact the Thieves Guild. I wonder what your relationship is with the Thieves Guild?"

Sol was taken aback, you can't talk nonsense, how could my majestic lord have anything to do with thieves?He quickly waved his hand: "You misunderstood, it's just that for some reason, they owe me a favor."

Gris was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Please forgive my impoliteness. Then, what level of thieves in the guild can you hire?"

Like the Adventurer's Guild, the Thieves' Guild is divided into levels, and high-level thieves can't be hired with money. That's why Gliss asked this question.

Sol hesitated: "Garrett's mentor and apprentice who have dealt with Rulet, I wonder if it is possible?" Chip once said that the mentor and apprentice were rare high-level assassins, so the level should not be considered low?

Unexpectedly, Gliss' reaction was beyond his expectation. The always calm old man was a little excited: "Garrett? You mean, it's Garin and Garrett who owe you favors?"

Sol secretly thought that this pair of master and apprentice really had a lot of background, he nodded: "Yes, it's them."

Gris took a breath slowly, and looked at Sol intently, as if he was distinguishing the truth from what he said.Finally, he finally said: "If this is the case, then...the Adventurer's Guild asks you to do this favor."

Secretly, I knew this would happen a long time ago, but Sol pretended to be panicked on the surface: "You are too polite, based on the friendship between us, I should do my best."

There was a hint of ridicule in Gris' eyes, obviously he would not believe Sol's nonsense at all.He said with a smile: "Your lord, you are welcome. You are so enthusiastic about the ruins, and we will naturally reciprocate. If you have any requests, you may wish to ask them. Since you have mentioned our 'friendship' several times, Then the basis of friendship should be nothing to hide, don't you think?"

Knowing that he had acted too much, Saul blushed.He said awkwardly: "Uh... I made you laugh. I do need the guild's help with a small matter, since Mr. Gliss said so. The thing is like this..."

He briefly told Gris about the impact of the treasure being seized on Brevila and the dangers faced by the frozen plateau, and finally said: "I promised them that I would help take back the treasure to calm Brevila's troubles. Anger. So I want to take this opportunity to solve the two issues together, and the help of the guild is indispensable in this process."

Sol has been thinking about this matter for a long time.Whether it was out of consideration for maintaining an exclusive trade route to the frozen plateau, or out of a promise to the barbarians, he couldn't sit idly by.Knowing that tens of thousands of lives are at stake, Sol still has some morality and credit.

Besides, no matter what purpose Cliff had, it would not be good for Sol to let him get these treasures. He was also thinking of Lovell.And to snatch such a large batch of things back from Cliff, it is not enough to rely on his own strength, so he needs to rely on the Adventurer's Guild.

Gliss also fell silent. Of course, he knew Cliff's strength very well. If he agreed, he would have to take the risk of fully offending him. This was something the Adventurers' Guild didn't want to see.

He said in a deep voice: "Lord Lord's faith is really admirable, so what do you think we should do?"

Knowing that he should not be too impatient at this time, Sol said: "I don't want to involve the guild, so you don't need to come forward. I just hope that the guild can provide the necessary assistance when needed."

Gris raised his eyebrows: "Really?" If so, it's acceptable.

Sol nodded sincerely: "Of course, because this matter may have to be carried out in Bahrain, we are not familiar with the place, and we need to use the guild as a cover. As for the specific actions, we will do it ourselves."

Gliss weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

Sol was overjoyed, and then he was a little confused: "This is not an ordinary thing, can you make the decision?"

Gris showed a meaningful smile: "Since I can talk to you, I naturally have the right to decide."

Saul was relieved now, and he stretched out his hand with a smile: "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation again."

"Hehe, happy cooperation." Gliss also reached out to shake hands with him.

What he didn't know was that Sol had another ulterior purpose.That is, he wanted to use this opportunity to further drag the Adventurer's Guild into the chariot between himself and Cliff.So in the future, whether it's for the relics, or to avoid Cliff's revenge after knowing about the incident, the conflict between the guild and him will further deepen.

But of course, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

The two laughed insincerely for a while, and Saul remembered another thing: "As far as I know, Mr. Morant was also killed by Cliff, do you know?"

Gliss chuckled, "I've already heard Rulert's report."

Sol pretended to be casual and said: "Although I don't know why he did this, but the incident caused a lot of trouble in the city, and even the king was very angry. So I want to testify against him in front of the king. If the Adventurer's Guild is willing to testify, Even if we can't bring him down, it can cause Cliff a lot of trouble, so it's also good for what we're going to do."

Unexpectedly, Gliss shook his head: "I'm sorry, the guild doesn't intend to intervene in this matter."

"Why?" Sol was taken aback.He also hoped to use the witness of the guild to stab Cliff severely in the back.

Gris sighed: "You must also know that although the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild is in Dinar, like the Magician's Guild, it has branches all over the continent. Therefore, in order to maintain neutrality, we will never get involved in any politics. struggle, otherwise the loss of independence will be a devastating disaster for the guild."

"So I can't agree to your request." Finally, he said seriously.

It turned out that the secret path was like this, although it was a pity, Sol could understand it.He couldn't help scratching his head, unable to hit Cliff politically. Shouldn't the news be released, such as telling the four chambers of commerce?

At this moment, Gliss got up and said goodbye: "My lord, please take care of the matter of contacting the Thieves Guild. If we can get the things back smoothly, we will never forget your kindness."

Sol also stood up and said goodbye: "Where is it, I also need the help of the guild, everyone is mutually beneficial."

After sending Gris away, Saul heaved a sigh of relief, and finally got the old man done.Next, it's time to think about how to get the things back from Cliff.

************************************************** *********************
Sol left the study and found Jessica waiting outside.Seeing him come out, Jessica asked with concern, "How's the matter?"

Sol nodded: "The Adventurer's Guild has agreed to help."

Jessica said with some concern: "Are you really determined to do it? Cliff's power is extraordinary, if one is not careful, it may be..."

Sol scratched his head: "No way, I have already promised the barbarians, and let Cliff get these treasures, God knows what he can do, so it must be done."

Jessica hummed: "Then what are your plans?"

Sol was a little distressed: "Although I have won the support of the Adventurer's Guild, I don't have a clue yet, so I can only slowly figure out a way." He couldn't help sighing secretly, this may be the biggest risk he has taken on his own initiative so far. Dangerous.

Just kidding, I'm thankful that Cliff didn't come looking for me, but now he's taking the initiative to provoke him, you think it's just for fun?If it is not forced by the situation and there are many benefits, I really want to suspect that I am crazy.

"Then... I'll go with you." Jessica raised her head abruptly.

"Huh?" Sol was stunned.

Jessica took two steps forward and looked at him bravely: "This is for Lovell, so I have a share too."

"Is this..." Sol talked about him from left to right: "There are a lot of things in the territory recently, if no one handles it, it will be very troublesome..."

Jessica said angrily: "You are always like this, you want to leave me whenever something happens, right?"

Saul averted his eyes guiltily.

Taking another step, Jessica's eyes became even more angry: "Look at me! Don't you think I can't share your troubles with you until now? Or do you not take me to heart at all?"

"Wow, big sister, please forgive me." Sol secretly cried out in his heart, he didn't know that Jessica would have such a big reaction.

"Then answer me!" Jessica continued to press.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Sol couldn't help but think to himself: "If I knew this, I would promise her first, and slip away when the time comes."

Jessica snorted: "You must be thinking, promise me first, then sneak away when the time comes, right?"

"What?" Sol was taken aback, how could she know?
Looking at his expression, she knew that she had guessed right, Jessica said angrily, "Then you want to get away again, right?"

"Ahaha, how could it be?" Saul laughed dryly, and suddenly he pointed behind Jessica: "Ah, Mira is biting Marlene's head."

Jessica was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but turn her head, but the back was empty, how could there be anything?After a sudden reaction, she turned her head hastily, and she only saw Sol's back running wildly.

"Stop, where are you going?" Jessica was angry and anxious.

"Hahaha, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things I haven't done, and I will reply to you later." Sol's voice came from afar.

"You bastard!" Knowing that she had been fooled by him again, Jessica stomped her foot hard.

Fearing that Jessica would catch up, Sol didn't even dare to turn his head.Unexpectedly, just as he ran into the yard, he collided with a person head-on and fell to the ground.

"Lord, are you alright?" The other party quickly helped him up, but it was Kress.

"Ah, it's you, what's the matter?" Sol covered his head and looked back, only to find that Jessica was not chasing him, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Reed has returned." Kress said.

"What? He's back?" Sol jumped up in surprise: "Where is it? Take me there."

Under the leadership of Kress, Sol came to the mouth of the town.From a distance, he could see Reed's horse team and the heavy luggage on the horses.

"Lord Lord." Seeing him, Reed greeted him.

"How is it going, is the journey going well?" Saul asked with concern.

Reed nodded: "Fortunately, the negotiations with the barbarians went well. This is the first batch of supplies I exchanged back." He pointed to the packages on the horse's back.

These are all money. Sol seems to be able to see the contents inside turned into gold coins filling the treasury. He can't help touching and looking around with a happy face.

Reed reported from the side: "This time, I have exchanged a total of 100 white bear skins, a batch of magic cores of ice-type monsters, and precious medicinal materials that only grow in snow-capped mountains, etc. I think it is absolutely no problem to exchange three times the profit." ..."

At this moment, Sol's movements suddenly stopped, and he kept stroking the bear's skin, like a puppet whose spring has suddenly run out.

Reed was taken aback: "My lord?"

After a while, Sol turned around slowly.He held Reed's hand with a strange expression, and his eyes were full of little stars.

"What, what are you doing?" Reid suddenly felt a little sweaty...

Saul smiled brightly, "Reed, are you interested in accompanying me to Bahrain?"
