177 How about making a deal
"Shia ......"
"Please come in." Thea's voice from the door sounded completely different from usual, and Rowling was even more sure in her heart that Thea's abnormality must be inseparable from Alex. How could she, who was bent on targeting Alex, let go of any clues related to Alex.
Hearing that the person who came was Rowling, Xia was also a little surprised. Although Rowling was her traveling companion to the Silver Dawn, their friendship was limited to traveling companions. So how could Rowling suddenly come to her?
As soon as Rowling flashed through the door, she sat on the edge of Thea's bed with an affectionate face, her face full of concern: "I just went to see you, and I heard from Avena that you are not feeling well, so I came here." ”
"Thank you. It's just a little uncomfortable, but it worries you. Thea smiled politely.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, but intuitively Xia vaguely feels that Rowling's intention does not seem to be simple. However, now there are some frightened birds like Xia, who is a blood elf, and Rowling is also a little subconsciously weak-hearted, so she can only be polite with Rowling, revealing some flaws. In this way, the two of them each had their own little ideas in their hearts, but they chatted affectionately and casually.
After a few rounds of polite pleasantries, Rowling seemed to unintentionally go around to her entry point. "I heard Anwena say that the supplies brought by the blood elves this time are very rich, and Thea, you are not feeling well at this time, but it is too bad. Poor Anvena is going to be busy. ”
"yes, who's to say it isn't? But my body ...... It doesn't seem to be as good as when it was alive. Now it seems that there are such and such small problems, which is really a trough cake. Thea quietly continued. But speaking of the Blood Elves, Rowling. Isn't that your kindred? How does it feel to suddenly see so many of your kindred in the Plaguelands? Have you ever met an old friend? ”
Rowling's eyebrows jumped slightly, and she chuckled. "Old friend, I really met it. This time, the leading general, Liadrin, is my best friend. I was overjoyed to meet her. ”
Thea's heart moved slightly-Rowling knew the female general of the Blood Elves! The arrival of the uninvited Rowling is really sleepy for Xia, who is worried that she has nowhere to investigate, and she meets someone to send a pillow - just in time! But getting along with Rowling all the time has made Thea understand that Rowling is not a good character. If she's not careful, then it's probably herself who is exposed.
Thea was full of energy and used her brain. She didn't ask directly about Liadrin, but said, "There's something I'm curious about, Rowling." I've heard that all of you blood elves are beautiful men. Today, after a little contact with the blood elves, I found out that it really deserves its name. But there is also a situation that makes me feel a little inconvenient - such a bunch of beauties together, it is really difficult for outsiders to tell the difference between you. It's also a shame to say that I almost recognized the wrong person several times. I don't know if you guys often encounter such situations? ”
Rowling replied as she jotted down Thea's question, "Yes, some people can't tell the difference between us. However, the differences between us are very obvious, and we are not very likely to recognize people among our own people. ”
"Hmm. I guess too. It seems that it is always easier to identify the same race......" Xia changed her words, "However, I don't know when you blood elves are in the clan. Could it be the same problem? ”
"Oh, aliens? For example? Rowling had a vague direction in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Forsaken? ”
Thea's heart was shocked, but her face was not showing anything. "It's okay to take our forsaken as an example. A race as beautiful as the Blood Elves. I'm afraid that in your eyes, foreigners are generally ugly and unsightly. ”
The praise in Xia Ya's words did not make the old Jianghu Rowling let her guard down. "Hmm. Ugly guys, of course we won't. …… I don't know about others, but a beauty like you, as long as you're not blind, you should be able to recognize it. How, Shia. Did you meet someone you knew in the blood elf's team this time? Rowling was no longer polite, and directly said the conjecture in her heart.
How could Xia be leaked by such a simple mistake by Rowling. She smiled and avoided answering: "Rowling, you are really good at coaxing me, where am I a beauty." ”
"Xia, you are so humble...... Hehe......" Rowling smiled vaguely, pretending not to care. But in his heart, he was almost sure that Xia must be afraid of being recognized by someone among the blood elves. But who is that man?
Alex? No, it won't. Didn't he just meet Thea? Rowling was the first to reject her reasoning, but she thought of Thea's temptations. Rowling had a bold guess in her mind - Thea should be afraid of being recognized by Alex. And although Alex didn't recognize Xia for some reason now, Xia was obviously anxious about it, so he called himself sick and hid for the time being.
With this speculation, Rowling couldn't help but feel more confident. She smiled and took Xia Ya's hand, as if unintentionally pulling the family and complaining: "What about me today~ I met a really annoying person from an old friend!" It's a blood elf, and I really don't understand what Liadlin is doing with such an obstructive and eyesore creature! ”
Thea's heart jumped. "It's rare to hear of Rowling, how unpleasant are you? What's his name? I'm a little curious. ”
"Oh!" Rowling gently rubbed Xia Ya's fingers in her hand, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Xia Ya's expression: "It seems to be called...... Alex? It's a lot like the name of your Forsaken General Alex, but I'd rather like your Forsaken General more than he does. ”
Thea's pupils shrank slightly, but how could she escape the eyes of Rowling, who was already staring at her intently, with this subtle change.
"Alex...... I don't know how he offended you, Rowling? It's going to be hard for the guy who offends you, but I'm really going to have to mourn for him for a while. ”
Listening to Thea's answer, Rowling smiled and decided not to talk around with Thea anymore. "I'm afraid he's not just me who has offended, Thea...... Did you have a holiday with him? ”
Xia's hand, which she was holding, tightened slightly, but these few reactions were enough. Rowling was almost sure that her guess was ** not far from ten, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows couldn't help but show a little smugness.
Thea, on the other hand, immediately realized her carelessness and gaffe, but she made one last effort to try to get through. "Where? It's just the first time I've met that general today, and there's no way to offend him. Even if there is something wrong with each other, it is purely for the sake of work, and it has nothing to do with my personal preferences. As she spoke, she strained her hand slightly, trying to pull her hand out of Rowling's hand.
Rowling, who had already torn the window paper, would let Thea get through so easily. She shook Xia's hand hard, staring at her with a nice look in her eyes.
"Xia, it's okay for you to lie to Anvina. But how can you fool me? ”
Rowling's acuity gave Thea a headache, but she still tried to make a last-ditch effort. "I don't understand what you're talking about? Rowling. ”
Rowling silently denied Thea for a moment and sighed dejectedly. "Well, I know. If I don't show some sincerity in this matter, you won't admit it, Thea. …… In fact, I hate and don't want to see that Alex more than you do. So, how about we make a deal? ”
This time, Thea did not speak up, neither agreeing nor vetoing her words. Her silence widened the smile on Rowling's face - sure enough, she won the bet, didn't she?
So she continued and said, "Since our enemies are unanimous, even the enemies of our enemies can be allies." What's more, we also have a little friendship, don't we? How, how about we join forces to get that pesky Alex back to Silvermoon City? At the very least, we need to reduce the chances of him dangling in front of our eyes. ”
Rowling has already said it so bluntly, and Thea can't continue to pretend to be stupid. As Rowling said, since the interests are aligned, it is not unacceptable for her to cooperate with Rowling to do something that has nothing to do with the interests of Silver Dawn. It's just that since it's a cooperation, it is really time to talk to Rowling about the conditions. "Rowling......
"Huh?"
Xia stared at Rowling with blazing eyes and said word by word: "First of all, I don't care why Rowling hates Alex ......"
Rowling heard the strings and knew what she meant, and said with a smile: "Xia, I don't care about the reason why you don't want Lex. ”
It's a brain-wrenching conversation with smart people, but once a consensus is reached, it's incredibly easy.
"It's just, Rowling, everyone is empty talk, how can I believe that there is enough sincerity between us to cooperate?"
Faced with Thea's questioning, Rowling, who is a bounty hunter, immediately pulled out a document from her bag. "This is a contract document for our bounty hunters, and the contents of it are only available to both parties to the transaction, so you should know very well what kind of binding magic is attached to the contract documents issued by the Bounty Hunters Association."
Thea nodded, holding the document gently in her hand. "Rowling, I really hate that Alex."
"Wouldn't it be nice not to let him get in the way in front of you and me?" Rowling replied with a grin. (To be continued)
