"No, my faith in my Lord is so steadfast that I will never throw myself into the arms of a false god." Brooke raised her head and said firmly. "To glorify my Lord, it is not as simple as just saying it, but it must be implemented in our daily words and deeds." Stephanie gritted her teeth a little at the end. If it weren't for the fact that the young man in front of her had such a strong background, she would have kicked him out of her grassroots organization long ago. After a long breath, Stephanie calmed down and said, "Tell me the details of your meeting with the other party." "Okay." Brooke immediately came to life and described the previous meeting process with exaggeration, and had to beautify herself and the crucial role she played in it. After listening to a few words, Stephanie's serious face twitched uncontrollably. If it weren't for her strong willpower, she really wanted to punch the idiot in front of her to death. He was played around by others and was still complacent here. Even with the care of that adult, it was a miracle that this idiot could live to this day. No wonder, no wonder he was kicked from Zhentil Castle to the barren rock land, not to train him, but to get rid of the burden. After saying that, Brooke asked cautiously: "Should we give them a little sweetness, so that they will sincerely surrender to us." Stephanie's cheek twitched again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Their surrender is not worth it. If we give them sweetness now, it will basically be a loss-making business, and it is very likely that they will never return." "Madam, do you mean that Gavin is deceiving me?" Brooke was a little bit unbelievable. "Not sure, but it is very likely that he is just delaying time." Stephanie drooped his eyes and said, "You don't need to ask about this matter, and you are not allowed to ask about it. Return to the monastery immediately. Within half a year, you are not allowed to step out of the monastery without my permission."
"But..." Brooke was a little unwilling. He finally got in touch with this line, and success was imminent, so he was unwilling to let go easily. "No buts." Stephanie said coldly, "Either you go back by yourself, or I break your legs and send you back." "As you command." Brooke's head drooped immediately. He knew that the woman in front of him was a man of her words. When she was angry, she didn't even give face to her uncle. Stephanie no longer paid attention to Brooke, and turned her eyes to the direction of the black well. There was a flash, and it was obvious that she was planning something. Brooke was stupid, but she was not stupid. She would not be fooled by the illusion released by the other party. Brooke's appearance had already shocked the other party. Whether the other party really agreed to cooperate or delay time, he would definitely take countermeasures. Therefore, her next action must be more cautious, otherwise she would die without knowing how. ... Wait until this Zhentarim lobbyist named Brooke was sent out. Gavin's face immediately became gloomy. It was expected that Zhentarim would come to the door, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. This shows that the Zhentarim had laid out the layout of the high road earlier than he knew. Brooke is just an insignificant chess piece for testing the waters. It is easy to fool him, but it is not easy to fool the people behind him. I believe that it will not be long before the real test will come, which is the mission mentioned by the young merchant. This kind of mission is 99% related to robbing caravans on the high road, which is the most common method used by the Zhentarim. Once you participate in this kind of plunder, you will be passively tied to the evil chariot of the Zhentarim. In his previous life, he had no choice and was coerced and controlled by this evil organization for more than ten years. In this life, he has a choice, how could he be involved again. To be more precise, Gavin is not only not going to join the Zhentarim, but also ready to trip them up. As long as he is in the rock land for one day, they will not be able to open the high road. According to Gavin's original idea, when the Zhentarim came to the door, he would hug Cormier's thick thighs as soon as possible. I believe they are full of interest in sniping the Zhentarim.
However, he now has a better choice. This move can be moved back a little. He doesn't want to tie up the Cormier chariot so quickly unless it is necessary, because once he does so, he will be easily restricted everywhere. Gavin's better choice is none other than the Elf Wilds' Elegants. He needs to hire a few strong personal guards from there. He knows the Zhentarim's style of doing things too well. Once he doesn't play along, the other party will send assassins to assassinate him and replace him. This is not a common method, but a necessary method. He has done this kind of dirty work in his previous life. Although the delaying tactic just now can buy him a month or so, at least before he refuses the first mission, the probability of the Zhentarim attacking him is not high, but he can't prevent the other party from playing cards out of the ordinary. Gavin still decided to go to Spring Bud Castle as soon as possible to finalize this matter. Going to Spring Bud Castle naturally requires trouble for the young red copper dragon, and the cash brought by Bede is just right for use. … Awinsa’s life has been quite fulfilling recently. Every morning, she would wake up to face the rising sun, and then give a one-hour solo concert to the dog-headed people all over the mountains, allowing them to start their busy day with songs. After eating a hearty and delicious breakfast, she took her number one dogleg Goss and walked all over the rocks, looking for those cute dog holes, announcing to them her right to rule here, and issuing a summons to them. , let them report to the Yingya cave and start a new dog life. No kobold can refuse the recruitment of a true dragon. So far, Iwensa has not encountered such a visionless kobold tribe. It left a little regret in her heart. She really wanted to try it and use the dragon's breath to establish power. She is a kind dragon, and she really can't tolerate those obedient little things. Came back in the afternoon and had dinner. Ivinsa basically never goes out. She either goes to the Black Well to chat with Gavin and collect bills (jokes or skits), or she just hangs around the dragon's nest she is building. The construction process of the dragon's nest was much faster than Awensa imagined. This somewhat made her heart hurt less, at least the money was not wasted. The kobold construction team that Gavin deployed for her was very impressive. One-tenth of them were dragon-seeking kobolds with magic-like abilities enabled, all related to construction. The rest were also miners and had rich experience in digging. The number is not one hundred, but two hundred and fifty. The extra one hundred and fifty people were added by Awensa on his own initiative because he felt that the construction process of the dragon's nest was too slow. The main cave is taking shape rapidly, and the foundation of the castle on Eagle Cliff has begun to take shape. The rocks dug out from the main cave were not wasted. They were all transported to the top of the cliff and shaped into stone bricks, ready to be used for construction. For castle use. "Sir, Lord Ivinsa, the leader is here and looking for you." Goss ran over panting. He is now given a more important task by Gavin, specifically to serve the young copper dragon Ivinsa, which not only includes her food and daily life, but also follows her around the clock every time she travels, and reports regularly to Gavin on Ivinsa's progress. whereabouts. This is definitely not surveillance, but care. Master Iwensa is too young and can easily be taken advantage of by bad people. Goss's mission is to prevent this situation from happening. Goss is very satisfied with this task.
Being able to accompany the dragon day and night is the life that every kobold dreams of. Before, Goss couldn't even dream of it. In particular, he is the first kobold in the entire Heijing and Yingya caves to be able to be taken flying by the giant dragon. "What do you want from me?" Iwensa clasped her little hands behind her back and looked around, looking old-fashioned. She is now the lord of the entire kobold tribe and must have the airs of a lord. It's just that this expression, appearing on a seven or eight-year-old little girl with a pretty face, is inexplicably funny. "I don't know, the leader didn't say anything." Goss replied very rudely, "When the leader came, he brought a truck with several large boxes on it. It looked very heavy. It was difficult for the leader to push it. It’s very strenuous, and there seems to be a metallic sound... Hey... Lord Iwensa, wait for me..." Before Goss could finish speaking, Iwensa had transformed into his original form and soared away. Big box, metal sound, heavy... Ivinsa seems to have heard the sound of the gold coins hitting. So many gold coins! Really a lot of gold coins! When Ivinsa arrived, the four large boxes were neatly placed together. The lids of the boxes were opened, and inside there were rows of gold coins of uniform size and fine workmanship. She recognized it at a glance. It was a gold coin called the Golden Lion produced by Cormyr. "Three thousand gold coins per box, totaling twelve thousand, which is the commission for these two months. You can count it yourself later." Gavin stood aside and said with a smile. Never rely on a giant dragon, even if the opponent is a young dragon. The role played by the young copper dragon is definitely worthy of its price. "Is it all mine?" Aiwensa swallowed. The money was coming in so fast and so easily. She didn't seem to have done anything, and the gold coin was dropped on her head. The most important thing is that this is only the first one. There will be such a transaction every month in the future. Just thinking about it makes the young red copper dragon full of energy. Even when facing the young red dragon, he still has the courage to fight hard. . "It's all yours." Gavin nodded affirmatively. With the dragon, you should not only talk about feelings, but also about interests, especially shiny gold coins, which are the most useful. "Sure enough, I read you right. If you need me in the future, just speak." Iwensa said to Gavin energetically. No matter how many empty promises there are, there are no real gold coins to entice you. The young copper dragon's affection for Gavin is slowly rising, and he is already ranked first. This is her cash cow, and no one can touch it. She will be anxious about whoever does it. She now wished that if Gavin used her more, he would have more small money. But with so many gold coins, where should I hide them? After the young copper dragon got over its excitement, it became entangled again.
Gavin seemed to see Ivinsa's entanglement and suggested: "I suggest that these gold coins be temporarily placed on the top rostrum of the Eagle Cliff Cave. Everyone can see it. Naturally, no one dares to approach. Well, these kobolds are the best treasure guards. Even if you give them a hundred courages, they don't dare to touch a dragon's treasure. They can move them in after the dragon's nest treasure house is slightly formed. " "That's the only way." Although Iwensa was a little worried, she had no better choice. Gavin took the opportunity to suggest that the young copper dragon accompany him to visit Spring Bud Castle again. Avensa naturally agreed without hesitation. She had a good impression of the Elfs. Although it was a bit dull and the food was not very appetizing, they were very generous. Not only did they give her a practical ring, but they also gave her several beautiful clothes, which she liked very much. Come to Spring Bud Castle again. The same spring is full of vitality and the same mist is hazy, but the feeling is different. Last time, everything was full of novelty, and everything I saw was full of freshness. This time, it feels a bit monotonous and has a sense of unchanging. Especially when I heard that the same scenery would last for a whole spring, this feeling was particularly severe.
