Chapter Eighty-Eight: Elder Elon?
"What are you going to do?" Kordak's body tensed in an instant, here, finally here! It seems that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild is still trying to squeeze something out of itself!
"I'm going to help you. Alex said very lightly, as if he had no idea that Kordak was on the verge of an outburst at any moment.
"Help us, I don't think I need your help with anything. Kordak said coldly.
"But, weren't there already people from other forces who came to bother you just now?" Alex smiled, he spread his hands: "Look, in fact, I don't think he's lying, you are indeed a talent, it's really a pity to stay here and open a tavern." Therefore, as long as there is a little ambition, the forces will definitely want to absorb you for their own use. ”
"So how do you want to help me, absorb me into the Lunaris Thieves Guild?" Kordak sarcastic.
"That's smart!" Alex snapped his fingers with a smug face, and he explained, "As long as you and Vera put your names on the list of our Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, it will save you a lot of trouble." For example, the endless harassment of other guilds, and the persecution and even assassination that may evolve next. And the price is just to write two names in a notebook. ”
"I write two names in the notebook of the Mercenary Alliance or the Nine Cities Alliance, which can also save me these troubles. Kordak then sarcastically.
"But their protection is not as strong as ours, is it?" Alex looked confident, and he said proudly, "Until now, I think the inhabitants of the Lance Continent know which is the largest guild in this continent. I can say without exaggeration that if we come forward and want to save two people, it will be easy. However, only if you have to give us a reason to keep you, and that is to join us. ”
"Do you think this little thing will make me tickle?"
"Of course not!" Alex waved his hand: "In addition to this, I will keep your life as it is!
"What did you say?" Kordak felt like he didn't hear clearly.
"That's it, I'm just asking you and Vera to put your names in the Lunaris Thieves Guild. I don't expect you to contribute to the guild, just by name. Alex repeated.
"Why? You're so kind to help us?"
"Hey, why do you think of me as a heinous villain?" Alex looked aggrieved, and he didn't know whether it was from the heart or pretended.
"Because what you do in the continent of Chino is the manifestation of a great villain. Kordak pointed out mercilessly: "Trap Ray was almost killed by the barbarian king Rego, Trap Irene almost died at the hands of the Stokers, and then Trap Ray was almost killed by Saron." Tell me what good things you've done?"
"But they've survived all of what you're talking about, haven't they?" Alex asked rhetorically.
"It's just their luck to get through! It's not you who did anything!" Cordak lashed.
"Okay, okay!" Alex raised his hand in surrender, he changed his serious expression, and then said, "I'm sorry, really." ”
"?????" Cordak was suddenly stunned, and he turned his head to look at Alex in some confusion, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
These things are commands given to me by the Elder Father, and I must obey the Elder Father's commands. Alex said sincerely, "But from my personal point of view, I like those two children, whether it is Barol or Regner. ”
"Where's Barol?" Kordak asked coldly.
"I killed him. Alex said bitterly: "It can also be said that he was forced to die by me, in short, he pierced his heart with a sword." ”
Kordak was silent, and he saw that Alex didn't seem to be lying. If he thought about it this way, then he probably didn't know about Barol becoming a shadow creature. In other words, the fact that Barol disappeared after meeting with Kordaq should have nothing to do with Alex...... So in this way, does Barol's disappearance have nothing to do with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild?
Where exactly did Barol go?
Alex didn't know what Kordaq was thinking at this time, and he continued: "And those plans for Xiao Lei are either orders from the Elder, or plans that His Majesty Ralvin and the Elder's Elders have discussed together. I...... It's just an executor. ”
"How do you make me believe you?" said Kordak, who also changed his serious tone.
"I can't make you believe me, but for now, you must get Vera to come with me. Alex said sincerely: "Her life may be in danger." ”
"Why?" Once Vera was involved, Kordak's eyes once again glowed with the same sharp light as they had been back then.
"Because of Alfred. Alex said, "I've been dealing with that old fox for quite some time, so I know him very well. Although he kindly let Vera go, it doesn't mean that Vera is out of his control. Vera, as an ace who can restrain Regner, will never let go easily. ”
"You're saying that Alfred might have put something on Vera?" Kordak understood, and he also felt that Alex's analysis made sense.
"Not a possibility, but a certainty!" Alex affirmed.
"Why are you sure?" asked Kordak rhetorically.
"......" Alex had a little helplessness on his face, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "You can take Vera and meet someone with me." ”
"Can I refuse?"
"In front of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, no one can refuse. Alex seemed resolute, because he had promised the child to protect his sister, so Alex wanted to fulfill the child's last wish.
"Alright then......" Kordak said helplessly, he knew that if he really stood on the opposite side of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, then he would definitely not be able to get any benefits, so it was better to be obedient. Hell, there's always a behemoth out there to trouble you, whether it's in the east or in the west, isn't there a place for him in Kordak?
Vera was still serving other drinkers as a waitress at this time, but fortunately, most of the people who lived in Falling Star City had heard of Kordak's prestige, so despite Vera's hot body, no one dared to stretch out her salted pig's hand to rub oil.
Kordak briefly explained to Manhattan, who was about to take a nap, and then handed over the work to a young man who worked here, and left with Vera.
"That's what happened. "Vera had actually seen Alex in the tavern for a long time, but this guy has been visiting quite a lot lately, so she doesn't particularly care. And on the way out today, Kordaq also explained Alex's intention, and she nodded, indicating that she understood.
After Alex took Kordak to the interior of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, Kordak and Vera were relieved, and it seemed that Alex really didn't have any ill intentions this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that as soon as I enter their lair, there should be countless knives on my neck, right?
Alex led the two to the door of a very remote room, knocked lightly, and then said softly respectfully, "Sir, Miss Vera has brought it." ”
"Okay, thank you, come in!" the sound inside the door stunned Cordak and Vera, who seemed to have heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it.
Cordak and Vera glanced at each other, both reading each other's puzzles in each other's eyes. But now that we've come here, there's naturally no reason to back down. They nodded slightly, and then walked inside.
After entering the room, the two of them were stunned at the same time. Because there was an elf on the chair in the room, he had long golden hair that was so light that it was almost white, and the lines on his face were clear and bright, although he looked like he was middle-aged, but such a handsome and dashing middle-aged elf uncle was only afraid that his charm was a little stronger than Alexander's.
But Vera's favorite is only Kordak, and Kordak is also not a. So they weren't surprised because this elf was so handsome, they were surprised that they knew this elf.
He was Elon Barto, the elven elder he met when Kordak was dying from drinking the Moon's Fall.
"Are you ......" Cordak and Vera naturally couldn't recognize who he was so quickly, so both of them looked at this familiar elf with some hesitation.
"Kid, I'm Elon. Elon didn't care that Kordak had forgotten about himself.
"You're Elder Elon?!" both Kordak and Vera's eyes widened.
It was at this time that it occurred to Kordaq that Barol had said that Verles was an elf. So could it be Elon's other identity...... It's Willless, the leader of the Lunaris Thieves Guild?!
"It's a pleasure to see you all again. Elon saluted according to human etiquette. He looked at Kordak as if he had guessed his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, although I am an elf, I am not the president of this guild, I am not a member of this guild, and I am not a Willace. ”
"Then why are you here?" Kordak couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, shouldn't the elves be all conservative and secretive? Even if this Elon had traveled in the human world, he wouldn't suddenly run to the Moon Shadow Thieves' Guild on a whim, right?
"Just to make up for some mistakes. Elon said sincerely.
"Fault?" Kordak and Vera were puzzled, Elon was the elf who saved Kordak's life, and he had always been very wise and benevolent, what was his fault?
"Yes, it's my child's fault, and naturally my fault. Elon's face was a little helpless: "My child, is the president of this guild, the Velles of your human mouth, Velles Deepshadow. ”
