Chapter 63: Old Friends
"Yo~Yo~Yo~"
"Isn't this my dear virtuous helper and loyal steward? And of course my best friend... Thorin! ”
Ling Qi walked out from behind the tree with a smile on his face, and there was no malice on his face at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But the few people who were sitting around to heal their wounds with Charles's mysterious roar were all like ghosts, and immediately put on a defensive posture, staring at the old man who suddenly came out of the darkness.
"Ah~ What kind of expressions are you all on? Could it be that a few well-bred gentlemen treated my old friend like you? That's really disappointing! ”
Ling Qi held his forehead, as if he was really very sad.
In the face of his show, none of the three relaxed their vigilance.
Charles and Alex even looked at each other, exchanging glances. It's a pity that they both got the results they didn't want from each other's eyes.
The man in front of him, regardless of the hole cards, the power on the surface has become unfathomable!
In the face of a sudden enemy, they are not helpless, which reincarnator will not leave a little backhand, but the real hole cards really should not be wasted here.
And the two thought to themselves that even if they suddenly attacked, there would really be no ten percent of their strength left, and they would have little chance of winning!
Thorin didn't have as many eyes as the other two, he knew that Ling Qi was very strong, but he didn't think that he was strong enough to be able to overwhelm the three of them, even if they were already injured!
Charr's dragon roar, Alex's transformation, all of which opened Thorin's eyes before.
"Humph! It turned out to be you! What are you doing here? ”
Thorin asked a very classic and idiotic question, and he pressed the handle of the axe as if he were ready to attack at any moment.
"Uh~ah!"
"You're really... That's the kind of question you ask me. ”
Ling Qi was stunned by Suo Lin's question, laughed dryly, and then said:
"I said I happened to be passing by, do you believe me?"
"Ahem! It seems that you don't believe it, forget it. ”
"Actually, I've been following you all the way to this place, and I just wanted to say hello to you and see if I could help a little."
Ling Qi said innocently, and even he didn't believe what he said.
Thorin with an angry face didn't have time to express his position before a generous declaration of battle choked back his stomach.
I saw Ling Qi raise the corners of his lips evilly.
“look!”
He hung a rope from the palm of his hand, and a silver key was tied to the end of the ruler-long red rope, swaying from side to side in the moonlight.
"You !!"
Thorin was furious, this was a naked slap in the face, he really dared to take this thing out!
This made him even more angry than the fact that his men died in battle one after another, and even the only surviving relatives betrayed him in the end and left him silently.
The dwarf stepped forward to snatch the key, but was grabbed by Alex behind him.
"Wait!"
"Lynch, what the hell do you mean!"
Alex is much calmer than Thorin, and usually calm means more difficult to deal with, but Ling Qi likes his composure.
"Hehe..."
"Finally someone can talk."
"Originally, I really just wanted to see the situation, but now, seeing you so miserable..."
Under the vigilant gazes of the three people opposite, Ling Qi shrugged his shoulders and said calmly:
"Now, of course, I have something else in mind!"
Ling Qi's tone dropped suddenly, and the three people on the opposite side immediately put on a fighting posture, but before they could move, Ling Qi took a step back and rushed to say:
"I don't want to be an enemy of a few brave dragon-fighting heroes!"
"Actually, I saw you fighting Smaug, and it was—"
Ling Qi exclaimed:
"It really shows that you are not able to do anything!"
His words almost caused Thorin to throw the axe in his hand directly.
If the friendliness of the Juggernaut is still counted, then Thorin, who is no longer a friend of Ling Qi, has probably dropped to a single digit for his old friend.
"Bastard! You're here to humiliate us! ”
"Needless to say! Draw your sword! ”
Alex hugged the red-faced Thorin, he was not afraid of fighting, but that was the worst case scenario!
Ling Qi pursed his lips, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously:
"All right, my king of the mountain. Don't mind, it's just a little old friend's advice. ”
"Now! I'm sure you've seen Smaug's prowess too! Well, you must be eager to get it, don't you? ”
Ling Qi shook the key in his hand again!
Thorin gasped, his right hand holding the handle of the axe was bruised.
The other two put away some hostility a little, and they could see that Ling Qi didn't come to find fault with it, which was good!
Charles began to ponder the other man's intentions, and Alex narrowed his eyes, considering the price he would have to pay for taking the key.
Since it turns out that going straight into the treasury from the front is suicidal, and they can't deal with Smaug, the key looms the key.
That meant the back door, perhaps, probably, there might be some chance that Smaug would be able to avoid Smaug's attention.
The two were originally very confident in their own strength, especially Charles, who thought that slaying dragons was to chop melons and vegetables. As it turned out, Smaug was completely different from the dragons she had dealt with before, blood dragons and frost dragons.
Sorin's initial proposal was really exciting, as long as he found the Arkan Diamond, he could call on the other dwarven tribes to fight the dragon and reclaim the Lonely Mountain!
This was also the plan of the wizard Gandalf, and it is currently the first choice of Alex and Charles.
Not to mention, the Akon Diamond is also the key to completing another task, and after understanding its significance, Ling Qi is not the only one who will make similar speculations.
Perhaps, if they hadn't come into this world, it would have been the cause of Smaug's defeat.
Of course, to the point where they are now, in their minds, the initiator is one person...
"Huh! Don't you want to deal with it? ”
Alex sneered, he didn't speak outright about the mission, but he was telling the truth.
They should have the same goal, and even if they choose different means to achieve it, they should not pull each other back. It was with this mindset that they said goodbye when they were at Rivendell.
They all accomplish the same task, so why bother to divide it so clearly!
The result? Ling Qi actually "sneak attacked" them!
Now the man can still stand in the sun, and several of them have become rats crossing the street.
"Hehe, deal with it, I must rely on you!"
Ling Qi snorted, Alex and the two were silent, and only then did they think of someone's perverted combat power assessment.
It is impossible for the Juggernaut to issue a task that can be easily completed by some people, but the current Ling Qi is no longer the original Ling Qi, which can be felt by both of them!
He has no weaknesses anymore!
Thorin also heard this, although he didn't understand what enmity Ling Qi had with that dragon, but he didn't believe that he had the strength to slay dragons, and just wanted to laugh, he found the other two people strangely silent, and he was immediately shocked and speechless!
He... Is it really that strong?
Seeing that a few people were temporarily shocked, Ling Qi suddenly smiled again:
"Actually, that's a good thing for you, isn't it? The enemy of the enemy should not be the enemy. ”
"Ahem, of course, one yard to one yard, let's talk about the key first, since you all want to get it... So, what do you exchange with me? ”
Selling keys?
Ling Qi's proposal made the three of them stunned, Thorin didn't understand, and Charles and the others were also a little puzzled, but they quickly became confused.
Thorin didn't trust Ling Qi at all, and the other two finally remembered that the three of them were still on the same team!
Belong to the same team, in addition to having the same goals, but also abide by more conventions and restrictions!
For all teams that count towards the Ares Monument, in addition to a more detailed description of the team's situation on the team panel, there is also a pop-up window explanation of the detailed provisions, which can be regarded as a team entry agreement.
For any officially formed squad, the first entry agreement states that you must not kill your teammates, otherwise you will be punished very severely.
Of course, this punishment will not be a life for a life, but it will also require a random piece of legendary equipment, and if you can't afford it, you will be stripped of all equipment and items!
In other provisions, even robbery and malicious harm are not allowed in principle.
Of course, from the process of their previous conflicts, it is clear that several regulations have been broken, and no one has been punished.
Therefore, the two of them are really a little unsure of the enforcement of these rules, and perhaps Ling Qi, as the captain and founder of the team, may have some privileges.
Until I saw Ling Qi's performance at this time...
"Huh! How's it going? It's just a key, can you think about it for so long? ”
Ling Qi impatiently interrupted some people's train of thought.
Charles wrinkled his nose and suddenly said:
"Then why can't you cooperate, you have the key, and we know the way to use it, as long as we're together..."
She had never suspected that Ling Qi didn't need the key for a long time, because the time had not yet come to use it, because they didn't think that Ling Qi was capable of stealing from under the nose of that powerful dragon, and even more because they had always believed that the Arkon Diamond was the key to completing the second main quest, and they hadn't received a hint that the quest was complete.
The value of the Akembo diamond is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but several reincarnators have unanimously overestimated its value, so why does the Lord make a special statement?
"No way!"
"Not necessarily!"
In the face of Charles's proposal, Thorin and Ling Qi's voices rang out almost simultaneously.
The two glanced at each other, Thorin's eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, and Ling Qi was full of banter.
"Cooperation or something is based on mutual trust and equal strength, and there is no need between you and me."
His unkind words blocked the possibility of reconciliation for Charles.
"Humph! What do you want, say clearly! ”
Thorin is much more crisp than the Charr, at least it seems.
"Gold? Diamond? Or the Armor Blade? Give me the key, and I can give you a share of the treasure! ”
Thorin looked up, as if I had seen that you were greedy.
"Those... I really want to..."
Ling Qi was halfway through his words, and only when Solin showed such an expression did he say coldly:
"But they don't belong to you now!"
Teasing an old man is not teasing a loli, bloodshed can happen at any time.
"You !!"
Just when Thorin felt that he could no longer hold back his anger, it was Alex who stopped him!
I saw him walk in front of Ling Qi and stretched out his hand, there was already an extra ring in his palm!
