Chapter 5
chapter5
Neither Takales nor Monthama wanted to meet Lub anytime soon, because the shame that man had given them was too deep! However, it was easy to get a mission to the door, and if they pushed it off, they might really starve to death on the streets. So, in the contest between life and dignity, they chose life!
"Miss Mandy, that Lub is not a good-natured man," said Takales, "Miss Mandy, and I will go with Monhama to negotiate with him in a moment...... "He seemed to think that the word for negotiation was not very good, and changed the word, "Talk, will you show up again when we call you?" ā
Mandy said, "Okay. ā
As usual, it was Takales who knocked at the door, and he shouted outside the door, "Come out, I have something to tell you." ā
Lub asked inside the door, "What's the matter?" ā
Takales said, "Very important, open the door!" ā
Lub said, "How do I know if you will plot against me when I open the door?" ā
"No kidding! I'm not a scumbag like you who steals other people's money bags, so I won't plot against people! ā
Lubu sneered.
Takales stood in front of Lub's door for a long time, and Lub showed no sign of coming to open the door for him, which made him anxious and angry, and he wanted to break down the door directly, but if he did so, it would definitely frighten their delicate client, and if the client ran away, their food money would be lost.
Tacales changed his strategy and said, "Well, I'm here to take back my purse, I've learned a new move, but it's not something you can defeat casually." ā
Lub said, "Oh. ā
Takales said, "There's a kind of you going out and fighting me again." ā
"I'm not interested in losing against opponents," Lub said. ā
Pressing back his anger, Takales gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid you will be my subordinate defeated this time!" ā
Takares did everything he could to provoke Lub, and Lub sat firmly at home, but it was not as he wished, which made Takales very frustrated. Monhama couldn't see it, and exchanged duties with Takales, and it was up to him to call the door.
Mandy asked Tacalas, "Doesn't Mr. Lub want to see me?" ā
"Of course not," said Takares, "how could he not want to see you as a beautiful young lady?" You have to know that he was only in Brown Town, he was very unfamiliar with the place, and he was a wary man, so it was understandable that he would not want to deal with strangers for a while. ā
Mandy said, "Yes, I've never seen Mr. Lub talk to anyone." ā
"With all due respect," said Tacales, "why do you want to speak to Lub? He's not a good person to talk to. ā
Mandy said, "This ...... Uh-huh......" she said, twinking her hair behind her ear, "Mr. Lub is handsome, and unlike any other man in Browntown, he ...... He's a charismatic guy. ā
Takales laughed, "He is indeed a different person. He said so, but in his heart he was madly abusing Lub, and imaginarily beating the other party to his knees and begging for mercy.
The effect of Monhama's call to the door was not much better than that of Tacales, and Lub accosted him without saying a word, but he did not go out.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Monhama turned around in despair and made peace with Tacales and Mandy, saying, "That coward of Lub will not go out. ā
"I'm afraid it's not going to work today," said Tacales, and Miss Mandy should go home. ā
"You're right, my parents will worry about me if I don't come home too late," Mandillo said disappointedly. She gave Tacales a silver coin and said, "Thank you for doing it for me." ā
"I'm sorry, we didn't do much for you," Takales said. He returned the silver to Mandy and said, "We didn't complete our mission and can't take your money." ā
Mandy said, "Think of it as a deposit." ā
Tacales hesitated, his knuckles curled slightly, and finally he grasped the silver coin, and said, "Thank you, Miss Mandy, we promise to get the job done." ā
Mandy said, "Thank you. ā
After Tacales and Monhama escorted Mandy home, they bought a loaf of bread at a nearby bakery and ate it.
"We can't take Miss Mandy's money for nothing," said Tacales, "for good mercenaries are determined to complete every mission with the determination to the death. ā
"Yes," said Monthama, "Miss Mandy just wanted to talk to Lub, what a simple wish, and if we could not fulfill even such a small wish for Miss Mandy, we would have failed too much." ā
"Well," said Takales, "let's get back to the good work after we've eaten the bread." ā
When the moon was shining and the stars were scarce, Tacales and Monhama went to Lub's house again.
This time, they did not knock on the door, but like two thieves about to rob the house, they went lightly to the base of the wall. Monhama was half-crouching, his hands overlapping to form a point of support, and after running for a while, Takales jumped sharply, his toes on the back of his hand, and he jumped onto the roof of the second floor!
The roof was tiled and sloped, and it was difficult to stand firm without making a noise.
Taccales climbed on the roof of the house like a spider, slowly approaching the chimney - their plan was for Tacales to get through the chimney into Lub's house, and then to open the door to Monthama, and the two of them subdued him while Lub slept, and persuaded him to go to Miss Mandy and at the same time take back his purse, killing two birds with one stone - although the solution was not very good, they were also forced to do nothing, and the mercenaries sometimes had to do whatever it took to complete the task!
Tacales propped up at the chimney, but luckily it was a summer day and Lubu was not so mad that he burned wood in it at night, otherwise the smoke alone would have been enough to bear. Takales got halfway into his body and looked down, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, he threw a pebble downward, checked the height, and gave a thumbs up to Monhama under the house.
Tacales took a deep breath and jumped into the chimney, two stories high was not a problem for him, but the place where he landed was not very flat, on a mess of wood, he slipped under his feet, fell to the bottom of the fireplace, and his whole body was covered in black ash, and he became one with the night.
Takales stood up straight, grinned, patted the ashes, and stooped out of the fireplace, but before he could step out with one foot, a dagger sparkled against the tip of his nose!
Takales tried to back down, and the dagger backed, chasing the tip of his nose like a shadow.
"Hey, don't do that, daggers are dangerous," said Tacales. ā
"It's also dangerous to sneak into someone's house in the middle of the night," Lub said. ā
"We called you outside for an afternoon, and you didn't show up," said Takales, "so I'll have to come to you myself." ā
Lub said, "Strong words make sense. He swirled the dagger, returned it to its sheath, and said, "Get out, I won't give you back the money bag." ā
"I'm not here for the money bag. ā
Lub asked, "What's that for?" ā
"For love and justice!" ā
Lub kicked Tacales into the pyre with a roundhouse kick and re-stained it with a layer of dust.
Takales took several mouthfuls of soot and said, "You're so bad-tempered, well, I'm here for the mission!" ā
Lub said, "Oh, bye-bye." ā
Lub turned and left, but Takales hurriedly stopped the man and said, "Don't you ask what the task is?" ā
Lubu said: "Hehe, I'm too lazy to accompany you to the house." ā
Tacales said: "It's not a playhouse, Monhama and I are going to Marion City to form a mercenary group, and sooner or later we will be regular mercenaries!" Hey, don't talk about this, I came to you to let you have a few words with Miss Mandy, Miss Mandy is a very shy and kind girl, you can talk to her, you earned it, you must agree! ā
Lubu was careless, and didn't seem to have heard what Tacales was saying, and just as Tacales was talking dryly to persuade him, he suddenly asked, "What did you just say?" ā
Takales was instantly furious, this man was clearly playing with him! He impulsively threw his fist at Lubu, and as you can imagine, he was knocked down by Lubu instead.
Lub stepped on Tacales' back and said, "Repeat what you just said, and I will help you complete your task." ā
Tacales said distrustfully, "Really? ā
Lub said, "Whether it's true or not, you can only believe me." ā
That's right, who makes their force less than others! Tacales thought indignantly that when he learned swordsmanship, he would avenge himself!
"Miss Mandy wants to talk to you," said Tacales, "and I can't figure out why Miss Mandy, such a gentle girl, would want to talk to you." ā
Lub said, "Not this one, the previous one." ā
"Last?" Tacales thought for a moment and said, "Monhama and I are going to form a mercenary group, and sooner or later we will be official mercenaries. ā
Lub said, "Yes, that's it." You're a knight with that stupid big guy? ā
"Yes," said Tacales. ā
Lub said, "Then you have eight men and three professions. ā
"We'll find all of them!" said Takales! ā
Lub said; "I'm a thief."
Puzzled, Takales said, "Oh. ā
Lubu looked down at the handsome young man at his feet, thinking, is this guy looking clever but actually a fool?
Lub retracted his feet, and Takales hurriedly stood up and said, "I have done as you have asked, and it is time for you to do your duty!" ā
"I repeat," said Lub, "I am a thief. ā
"You said it, and I heard it!" said Takales. What's so great about a thief, the most roe deer, I'm a knight, Iā" He said as he realized something was wrong, and slapped his head, "You're a thief?! You, you, you... Do you want to join our mercenary group? What we lack is a master like you! ā
Lubu said and sneered, "I'm a roe deer, a thief who doesn't have much of a big deal. ā
"Oh my God," said Takales, "how can you slander yourself like that! You are a handsome thief who is unrivaled in the theft technology continent! ā
Lubu: "......" This person not only has a good face, but also has the ability to steer the rudder when he sees the wind.
