Chapter Eighty-Three: Pointing the Way for a Lost Youth
"Now, I said you two, do you want to consider betraying that Matt Thieves?"
"Huh?"
Hearing me say this, the half-orc brother and sister tilted their heads in confusion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In view of the stupid words of some two idiots, I guess my image of a glorious, decent, and friendly mysterious powerhouse is gone.
Thinking of this, I want to beat them both.
There's no way, and now I can only make do with the image of a pervert. Although it is not the same direction as expected, the deterrent power of perversion is estimated to be more terrifying in some ways.
Given that the half-orc girl's abilities seem to have some value, I have a good idea.
"I heard the conversation between the two of you, and it seems that you are very unhappy with that Matt. In that case, should you choose a job with a bright future as soon as possible and consider switching jobs to our company?"
Hearing me say this, I guess I didn't react, and the half-orc brothers and sisters were stunned and didn't say a word.
But it's no surprise to be surprised.
Originally, my plan was to find Matt, the leader of the bandits, and ask him to tell us interesting local stories.
Then just kill him.
In any case, in a dangerous area like Streets of Exile, where black eating black is so commonplace, changes in power should be commonplace, and no one cares how the leader of a small group of thieves died.
If things go well, we'll get the news without revealing our identities easily.
In a life-threatening situation, it would be a few notches more efficient to know information than to inquire among adventurers, and I don't think they would have their own intelligence lines for such a shady organization as the thieves.
Our current strength can fully do this, and it can be regarded as a ready-made benefit.
The advantage of this is not only that we can obtain a large amount of information in a short period of time, but also that we can conceal our presence very well.
After all, I don't believe that the leader of the thieves will be a clean character.
It's normal for such a guy to die for revenge from the enemy, or for reasons like competing interests. There are too many reasons, so you shouldn't have to worry about someone with a heart discovering our purpose for breaking the seal.
Take 10,000 steps back.
Even if you're unlucky enough to accidentally kill someone in the Streets of Exile, as long as you do it secretively, you don't have to worry about the chances of being tracked down.
After all, it is impossible for a guy who can blend in this kind of gray area without his own little secrets.
There are too many enemies, which will undoubtedly make it much more difficult to track down.
I don't believe that the powerful really dig out their hearts and lungs for these chess pieces, they are at most tied together by interests.
His spokesperson on this piece of fat has been erased, and it is understandable to do a little superficial investigation for his face. But it is impossible to trace it in depth after all, and it is enough to change the spokesperson.
If there is a well-developed plan, with our current configuration, it is guaranteed that I can get the information covertly.
Even, a piece of the pie is not impossible......
"Think about it, boy, if you choose to betray now, although the risk is not small, maybe tomorrow you will become the leader of the thieves. For a young person with a challenging heart like you, it's really suitable. ā
I guess I understood my chatter a little, and the half-orc boy Sokite finally came to his senses.
Then, he quickly shook his head and refused.
"No, it's all said that we will die if we betray the thieves, let alone do things for others. Can you listen to what I'm saying?"
That's right, if only you were willing to think so.
In a business-like tone, I said to the wary orc boy Sokate:
"I know that, that's why I say it's risky. But you both know that there are always a lot of loopholes in contracts like that, for example, like the person who created the contract is dead. ā
As I said that, I smiled at them.
Maybe my friendly smile touched them, and the half-orc siblings had expressions on their faces that were about to cry.
I guess they guessed what I wanted to do.
"IāI see. I'll do something for you, even if I'm dead, but please spare Nia. Please, please change back to the way you were, please don't put on such a revealing smile. ā
As if frightened by something, the orc boy shuddered and pleaded as he protected the shivering Niya.
Damn, you're teaching me how not to be explicit!
Although the purpose of instigating them to commit crimes has been achieved, what is the matter with this feeling of loss, so don't think about it so much, just kill the two of them.
In an awkward atmosphere, Alice, who was bored playing with her tail, finally joined us in the conversation.
"Poof, Uncle Bone, don't laugh. It's all scared, haha, it's scared of others. ā
As soon as I opened my mouth, I wanted to teach her a lesson.
This is also that, how did her grandfather teach, no matter how she said it, she was too uneducated!
But the orc boy just had to say yes......
"In short, you're willing to do it. Excellent decision, teenager, one day you will be proud of yourself for making such a decision. Don't think about it when you're on our ship...... No, it's a good road. ā
"Hmm. Your Excellency, I also believe that I have probably embarked on a very difficult path. ā
Hearing my pretty words, the half-orc boy Sokate's face became more and more ugly, and he said such ambiguous words.
Judging by his increasingly vigilant performance.
To be able to unknowingly join the camp of the candidate for the new demon king, I guess he doesn't quite know how conscientious our company is, and how lucky he is, but I don't have time to pay attention to him.
"Having said that, I don't believe you now. So you need to put on a little bit of a limit and do something inconsequential to show your determination. ā
"When you say this, Your Excellency, I know that it cannot be a trivial matter in any case. ā
As he said this, he smiled wryly at me with sincerity.
It's so rude.
"It doesn't matter, just understand. Then you can sign this soul contract by the way, and let me tell you first, this is not the kind of low-level contract that will only lead to death. If you break this contract, your soul will be torn apart. ā
As I said this, I prepared to draft a completely unfair soul contract.
Then.
"Eh, isn't that the magic that Grandpa Voliff said is very powerful! It turns out that Uncle Bones will use the soul contract! Then you can use it directly from the beginning, and what are you doing with such trouble! Alice's skirt is dirty. ā
Slightly lifting the corner of the dress, the werewolf Lori seemed to complain with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing her puzzled, Ah Shu opened his mouth to explain.
"No, Alice. The so-called contract is such a thing, whether it is a soul contract or a divine contract. The rule is that it must be approved by both parties, and it cannot be established if either party is even more unwilling, otherwise it will not be enforced by the blessing of the gods. ā
Well, Ah Shu's attitude towards Alice was unexpectedly kind.
Then, she leaned into Alice's ear to keep her voice from being heard by the orc siblings......
"That Eshuin guy talks so much because he didn't want to make a fair contract in the first place. That's why they use threats and other means to make the teenagers over there accept unfair terms. ā
After casting a disdainful glance at me, Ah Shu whispered these things that were completely unnecessary.
This guy is so annoying.
But because more than half of what she said was true, I couldn't refute it except for being embarrassed......
"Ahem, if it's okay, sign this soul contract. Your name is Sokate, isn't it, like that old ...... over there? As the young lady said, this is a very strong contract, so if you don't agree, it won't take effect. ā
It's so dangerous, I almost missed my mouth.
For a moment, Ah Shu's eyes made me feel like I had walked around the River Styx.
"If we don't sign it, we won't be able to get out alive, will we?"
After asking such a natural question, Sokite did not wait for an answer, but silently agreed.
