Chapter 121: The Secret Covenant
"How much is Seraphim willing to pay back?" Finishing the previous conversation, Thor asked about what Morey had told him the other day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The old man's thin wrist was clasped in his arms, and he looked directly at the busy workers in front of him, and whispered to Saul:
"The cunning fellow said he couldn't afford that much money, and was willing to pay Malten five hundred gold roses first—" Morey said with a deep sense of displeasure, which was obviously far less than he had expected.
"Well, this is what he owes us, let's get it first." Saul said lightly, after listening to Ketuma's description, he knew that it was Jason who he met in the sewers that day? Spessa vs. Dejan? Seraphim.
Seraphim not only ransacked Marten's merchant ships with the others, but also wounded Ketuma with a hidden arrow, and of course Thor did not feel any pity for him, what he saw was just a debt to the enemy within his own power.
"But my lord—as far as I can see, he is very unwilling, and I am afraid that this matter will not end so easily." Morey recounted unhurriedly, and while he was reminding Thor, it didn't sound like he was worried about what was going on with Seraphim.
"It doesn't matter, whatever tricks he wants to play, just let him go, let's wait and see what happens, get the money first - the rest, when the chamber of commerce business is done, there is a way to clean him up."
Thor waved his hand indifferently, Seraphim was just an abandoned son who was thrown away, and what he had to worry about now was how to keep his share of the Worms grain market from being squeezed out and devoured by others, even if he wanted to deal with himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it.
The so-called wall is pushed by everyone, just like when Malten was framed, when there is a problem in one link, for these businessmen whose business is not "huge", it will follow the collapse of the chain like a break.
offended the Conrad family; Abandoned by the Meyer family - two pieces of news circulating around Seraphim are enough to push him into the realm of no return.
So Thor wasn't worried about what earth-shattering businessmen could do.
At this moment, a warrior of Thor entered the door, and except for the five warriors who remained by Thor's side, the rest of the warriors and dire wolves now followed Kratos to live in the woods outside the city of Worms.
Thor used the remaining gold coins to buy tents, food, and other necessities, and set up this new field camp.
"Lord Thor—someone outside the door said this was a letter to you." The tall barbarian warrior pressed the saber at his waist and handed Thor a letter sealed in dark black fire paint to Thor, and Morey and Malten on both sides cast strange glances at each other.
"Okay—" Thor took the letter from the warrior's hand, and a puzzled look appeared on his face, Toby had only been gone for a short time, and it should not have been sent by Miss Susie, but if it weren't for the Conrad family, who would have sent him a letter in the whole of Worms?
Removing the dark black seal, the thick ink-like color makes the mood sink involuntarily, as if the sender was some kind of disgusting ominousness.
Thor opened the envelope and slowly pulled out the letter from inside, it was an ordinary white piece of paper, with no words written on it, just an incomprehensible pattern drawn in pure black ink, which Sol could read.
With a few pens on the paper, a door was outlined, and although it was made up of the simplest lines, the door seemed so real that when people first saw it, they couldn't help but want to reach out and push it open, and Thor couldn't help but lightly scratch his finger on the paper twice, and only woke up after a moment to wake up from this addiction.
And in this lifelike gate, there is a very realistic eye, not that this eye uses complicated lines, on the contrary, it is only the most basic painting technique, but it is difficult to take your eyes off it.
As if this eye contained an infinite amount of knowledge that one could not resist plunging into it and learning greedily, Thor felt that he could see the starry universe in the eyes outlined by the black lines of white paper.
Then he immediately came to his senses, folded up the blank paper, and asked the soldier who had sent the letter in:
"What about the person who gave you this letter?"
"It was given to me by a coachman, and the carriage was parked outside the gate." The warrior replied honestly, and Marten and Morey on the side seemed more and more curious about who the messenger was.
Thor put the letter in his arms and said, "I'll go out for a while." Then he strode out the door with the warrior of Thus who followed him.
The two of them were left in the room, looking at each other, not understanding whose letter it was to let their adults go out in person.
Thor stepped out of the door and stepped through the path in the front yard, only to see a plain-style carriage parked in front of the iron gate where another Thus warrior was in the handle, and the carriage looked a little old, without any insignia of family status engraved on it.
The two old black horses snorted and stood bored in the same place to soak up the sun, and the coachman sat in front of the carriage with the reins in his hand, ignoring Thor who came to him.
Then the door slowly opened, and Thor was familiar with the magnetic voice inside:
"Please come up—Mr. Thor."
Is it Leon who speaks? Conrad, although he has only met once, has to say that this beautiful character has left a deep impression on Saul, whether it is his handsome and strong appearance, or his majestic voice like a lion's roar, it is extremely unique.
Gesturing to stop at the warrior behind him, Thor stepped up the ladder and stepped into the carriage.
The carriage was not very spacious, and the two-meter-tall Thor had to hunch over to get in, and when he entered, the entire carriage was almost full, and by all accounts, it didn't look like a carriage that the Conrad family would ride.
Thor looked up at Leon again, whom he had just met a few days ago? Conrad, the man was still dressed in the ordinary gray robe, dressed as a bard, with long dark blonde hair draped behind his head like a lion's mane, and his lake-blue eyes radiated a charming brilliance, and he looked at Thor with a smile, and then opened his mouth and said:
"It's been a long time, Mr. Thor—it looks like you've been doing well lately."
Bending down to sit on the hard bench, Saul replied flatly, "We just met, and you haven't even changed a single piece of clothing." ”
"Oh, you know, the bard doesn't have much money to buy nice new clothes." Leon pretended to exaggerate his rich expression, as if he wanted to gain a hint of sympathy.
"I don't think the Conrad family will run out of money to buy new clothes." Thor pursed his lips and said lightly.
"You've wronged me—don't you know? Losers will only have a harder life in a good environment. The man's sturdy face showed an aggrieved look, which made Thor feel a little numb, and he continued:
"The fact that my eldest son chose to be a bard is a shame for the Conrad family." He said with a smile on his face, apparently not caring about it in the slightest.
"I don't think you're a bard." Thor muttered, wisely diverted the subject, and asked directly, "Tell me straight, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”
Leon also put away his playful smiling face, as if he had turned back into a majestic lion.
"We've got something you need to help decipher - with your gifts."
"Interpretation? Are you sure? I haven't even learned the lingua franca yet. Sollen paused for a moment, not understanding what the other party meant.
"The Great One has given a clear prophecy, and you are the one who can interpret it - rest assured, you will know when the time comes."
Saying that, without giving Thor more time to ask questions, Leon opened his mouth and said directly: "This evening, this carriage will stop at your warehouse in the lower district, put on your ring, and we will see you later." ”
