Just as the hand axe raised high in the chain was about to fall.

"I have a friend who can come and go in the wilderness as he pleases. ”

After shouting this sentence as fast as he could, Hughes silently closed his eyes with his forehead pressed against the table.

What is feared is not pain, but the withering of life.

There was silence in the storage room, nothing happened.

Slowly opening his eyes, Shogues tried to move his fingers, feeling the sweat dripping down his fingertips, he breathed a sigh of relief, his hand was still there.

There is certainly no mercy in the dictionary of chains, and the reason why he stopped the fall of the hand axe in time was undeniably that Hughes's words aroused his interest in time.

In terms of the personal strength of the three high-level leaders of the Thieves Guild present, each of them has a wealth of adventure experience, and they have never thought that entering the dark wilderness is such a great thing.

But when it comes to the words 'come and go freely', they don't deserve it.

After all, there are so many monsters and monsters running around in the wilderness, and no one can tell which comes first, death or luck.

In the eyes of the chains, Hughgoth suddenly mentioned that he had a friend who seemed to be very powerful, whether it was a fictional lie or a bluff, it would not change anything.

On the contrary, there is a faint smell of shock and threat in the words shouted by Xiugus, even if it is not Xiugues's original intention, it will only make the little mouse die more miserably in the end, because this sentence is tantamount to provoking the patience and bottom line of the president.

Sure enough, as soon as the chain turned his head and saw that the face of the fangs had gradually become gloomy, he was not in a hurry, and stepped aside with the mood of watching a good show, waiting for the new verdict of Xiugus.

Fang's gaze returned to Shoggers' face, and the substance in his sharp gaze was so strong that Shoggers could barely breathe.

Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Shogues could only continue to speak against the president's gaze.

"My friend was a capable man, and he actually brought back a few fresh fish from the wilderness every day, and although there were not many of them, I often received help from him during this time. ”

"Now, I am willing to give up all my dignity to beg him. ”

"Every day, I promise to sacrifice a fresh fish to the guild every day to atone for my immediate sins. Until the famine passes, you will see my unwavering loyalty to the Guild. ”

As he spoke, Sorgus' nose was slightly sour, and although he looked directly at the president, what he saw in his trance was the back of Thor sitting alone under the candle with a fishing rod.

After listening to Shogoth's words, the fangs fell silent again, and the edge in his eyes slowly faded, but there was more complexity that Shoghes couldn't understand.

Looking at Shogues's struggle, the expression of the chain was secretly amused.

Although what Shugues said was somewhat unexpected, with his knowledge of the fangs, he was not a good person, and what qualifications and face did an ant-like existence have to negotiate with the president.

Although Grey Curtain has always been a chaotic place, Shogues's stealing has challenged the dignity of the guild as a whole, and the current situation is far from being easily erased by paying a small profit.

What's more, there is still a surplus of food in the guild at present, which is far from the point where it can't be opened.

A bullshit fresh fish, after putting aside the special attributes brought about by the shortage of food, is at most an addition to the guild, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

Silence fell back in the storage room, and everyone waited for the president's final decision.

The words that could be said were finished, and Shogues's heart was heavy.

It was indeed his last hole card, not even at all, because the chips were so light.

After a moment, the fangs stared at Shogues and spat out two words.

"Two. ”

Hearing the sound of fangs, Shogues was almost incredulous for a moment.

The next moment, his trembling heart was instantly occupied by ecstasy, and he actually ...... Cleared!?And it seems that you can still get out of it!?

"As you wish, Your Excellency President. At the right time, Shogues lowered his humble gaze.

". Fang's gaze finally left.

It was only at this time that Xiugus really breathed a sigh of relief, although his heart was full of doubts, but as long as he survived the last link, his hands would be saved.

Equally incomprehensible about this unexpected disposition was the chains, and with what he knew about the president, this kind of heavy handling was definitely not the style of fangs.

His face trembled, and the chains seemed to want to say something, but when he turned his head, he saw that the fangs looked impatient, and the fingers holding his elbow flicked like flies, as if he was a little tired of the little mouse who was greedy for life and afraid of death, or the thing itself.

The chain will definitely not question the president's decision face to face for the life or death of an ant, that is irrational, no matter how unpleasant it is to look at Xiugus, it is only a personal grudge between the two of them after all.

Turning around with a grim face, the chain rudely ripped off the rope on Shoggus' wrist, and threw him into an open corner with the back of the placket like a chicken, and then the sound of fists and kicks to flesh rang out in the air.

Hughes clutched his head tightly, his whole body bowed together, and he could only defend his vital point with some rolls and curls.

Unfortunately, the space is limited, and most of the damage is inevitable after all.

Sensing that the bones in his arm seemed to be broken, Shogues still gritted his teeth and remained silent.

It's just a beating, and it's already a big profit compared to the life that I almost ruined.

The muffled sound of flesh being struck continued for a while, until the fangs slammed his heel on the table, and the chain moved his overly strong arm to spit on the ground, ignoring the puddle of mud that seemed like a puddle of mud.

Hughes wanted to just lie on the floor and sleep for a while, but gritting his teeth, he finally struggled to get up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, limped open the door of the storage room, and walked out.

Resentment? There must be.

But before you have enough strength, you must first learn to drink forbearance as bitter wine.

Fortunately, I am still alive, there is still time, and everything still has a chance.

Standing at the end of the aisle, Shogues took a deep look in the direction of the storage room, turned and disappeared onto the rope ladder.

"We're just going to let that treacherous little bastard go?"

The chain walked back and forth a few steps in a somewhat irritable tone, asking the doubts in his heart. He instinctively felt that the reason for impressing the president was definitely not just two fresh fish, but he couldn't grasp the point.

Fangs ignored him, closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair, looking silent and recuperating,

"I'm going to send someone to keep an eye on him. ”

Seeing that the president did not respond, the chain still turned and walked towards the door of the storage room.

In his opinion, there are too many loopholes in Xiugus's performance today, as long as he sends someone to keep an eye on him, collect or make up a few tricks, there are many ways to nail this little mouse.

Just as the outstretched hand of the chain was about to put on the doorknob, Deacon Freyr, who had not said a word throughout the whole process, suddenly said something to himself.

"The man came back after all. ”

A moment later, as if in response to Deacon Frere, the head of the fangs also answered at the right time.

“...... I don't know if there will be any opportunities to drink together in the future. ”

Man?

As if suddenly struck by lightning, the hand with the chain stretched out trembled suddenly, and the hairs on his whole body stood up.

A ghost in the dark of the night suddenly flashed through his mind, Isel!

Although the chains are a little reckless, they are not stupid, and they are not incompetent.

After Deacon Frerell mentioned it from the side, some obscure clues were instantly connected, and everything seemed to have an explanation.

If Isère was standing behind Huggers in this matter, it would not be surprising that the president showed a certain amount of tolerance and concession. After all, Isère is a bit special to the guild as a whole, and he is still technically a member of the Thieves' Guild to this day.

Shogues's reach out to the guild must not have been at Isel's behest, as the man had never disdained such a trick. But whether it was or not, Shogues was the closest person to Isère in the entire guild.

Thinking of this, the chains were instantly extinguished, and the thought of continuing to send someone to follow Shogues was extinguished. Against the monster of Isère, even if he himself took action, he would only end up fleeing in the wilderness.

What's more, at this moment, there was only panic left in the chain heart, because he believed that Isel was dead.

After all, since that mission half a year ago, the man hasn't been seen again, and no news has come.

The chains never dared to tear their faces head-on with Isère, the strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all, but he never missed the opportunity to secretly insert a knife in the back.

In the mission led by Chains half a year ago, there were five participants, Chains, Isel, and an official thief called Hook, as well as two trainees who were responsible for running errands to find out the news.

It's true to encounter strong enemies in the wilderness.

It's just that in the chaos of the team being scattered, when the powerful Isel attracted the attention of most of the enemies, the chain not only did not gather everyone to support in time, but decisively led the other three to evacuate, or escape, leaving the greatest danger to Isel.

The three people who follow the chains know very well what this abandonment means, but the human heart is like this, my life is always more precious than others, and those who have the ability should be sacrificed.

To hell with morality and benevolence in the face of life and death.

It's a pity that Isel took on most of the dangers, but the countless flying monsters obviously didn't plan to let the others go.

Running to the end of the road, only the chains and one of the more fortunate trainees survived.

Chainlink naturally didn't have the courage to turn back to confirm Isel's life or death, but he decided in his heart that there should be no suspense.

After sending the newcomer who had followed him to meet his ancestors, Chains returned to the guild alone.

He knew exactly how to tell a half-truth story, after all, he knew the rhetoric by heart halfway through.
