Chapter 90: The Moment of Confrontation (Part II)

As Dalton's words fell, Loren fell into deep thought. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not that he doubts the veracity of these words, the mentor has no reason to deceive himself, and there is no need to cooperate with this Rut Infinit in a double reed play - even if he gets into it, what benefit will he get?

What really doesn't matter to the black-haired wizard is how much credible value Ruth Infinit's assurances have.

Not much has been said about the leader of the Night's Watch, but there is no doubt that he is a supreme liar and a man of concealing his thoughts and methods, otherwise a thoughtful man like Dalton Kander would not have known for twenty years who the Order was working for.

This is a cunning fox, a guy who must not be underestimated in any way, and must be 100% vigilant at all times, or he will fall into his trap - his threat is not only in the power of his men and the power he wields, but in his brain.

Reason and wisdom are a wizard's most powerful spells, and this is a perfect fit for Rut Infinit.

Considering the Mentor's current situation, Loren had a hard time believing that the other party would actually keep his promise - no, for someone like this who is good at exploitation and fraud, all promises are synonymous with bullshit. The premise of compliance is that it is not in his interest, not his credit, because that thing does not exist in him.

At the Vimpal Academy, what you get is commensurate with what you give, and at Ruben Fried's side, you need to convince the Count that he is still useful, and for the leader of the Night's Watch, no amount of value or devotion is a threat. Only enough threats can ensure that the other side keeps its promises.

"Knock knock~"

A crisp knock came from outside the house, breaking the silence for a moment. The grim-looking Dalton Candle was silent, and the dark-haired wizard with a frown snapped his fingers and opened the door to the room with a "hover charm".

"Sorry to disturb the reunion between the two mentors and apprentices. Rutte Infinit's unhurried voice slowly approached: "If I could, I would have liked to come back later, but I was obviously a little helpless. ”

With a faint smile, the leader of the Night's Watch with light brown curly hair appeared outside the door, the dagger between his neck trembled slightly, and the female elf behind him was covered with beads of sweat on her forehead, gritting her teeth but never piercing it.

Loren's eyes widened in astonishment, but it wasn't because of the dagger in Leah's hand - Root's right hand hanging down at his side was clearly holding a dagger, which had already pressed against the side of the female elf's waist!

It was obviously a threatening situation, but the expressions of both parties seemed to be that Liya had been subdued by him, and there was no tension in that smile that would pierce her throat and die in the next moment.

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, for the sake of your mentor's face, I have given you great sincerity and trust, is this how you repay me?" Although he was smiling, Root's golden pupils were filled with murderous intent: "You don't want to say that all this was an accident, right? That can only make me disappointed in you!"

"Let go of her. Loren said coldly: "There's nothing to do with her here, let her go!"

"Leave me alone!"

The trembling female elf suddenly yelled at Loren: "Take your mentor and leave, it's a big deal that I will die with him!"

"Leah...... Trust me once, it's not what you think. Seeing that the female elf was a little overly emotional, Loren could only persuade with kind words: "Leave it to me to solve it, Liya, just believe me again...... Is that okay?"

Rut Infinit smiled and glanced sideways at the female elf behind her, and took the initiative to raise the dagger in his right hand and place it in front of her. After hesitating for a moment, Leah finally chose to give up, which made Loren somewhat relieved.

It was indeed a great temptation to kill him here, but there were a series of consequences that Loren could not afford - as Root said, he could not protect everyone.

"Wait for me downstairs for a while, just a little bit. Walking out of the room, Loren patted Lea on the shoulder, and the frightened elf's eyes still widened, as if she still didn't believe that she had been discovered: "This matter will be over soon." ”

"I'm right down the stairs. Liya nodded, but reminded me uneasily: "As long as there is something, call me directly, and I will come over immediately!"

The black-haired wizard smiled and nodded, and when he turned around, Ruth Infinit on the side had reached out and closed the door. In the dim light of the oil lamp, there were only two people left in the hallway.

"I won't hurt your elven friend, Loren Turin. Root's voice was low as if he was whispering: "At least you can rest assured that - as long as you choose to cooperate, I will not involve innocent people." ”

As long as you cooperate...... That's the premise. There was a hint of sarcasm on Loren's lips, but he didn't have many hole cards in his hand right now, and it wasn't time to go head-to-head with this guy.

"I'm sure Dalton Kander has told you a lot of things, ......right? What's your choice?"

"I'm going to make a bid first, what do you think?" the black-haired wizard curled the corners of his mouth slightly—since he was a passive person at the moment, he should fight for the initiative of his words to redeem a little disadvantage.

"Let's talk about it. Root's smile was very gentle, as if he was an old man who doted on his juniors: "I'm also curious about what conditions you will propose." ”

"First of all, you must release the mentor, keep him safe, and not have any more entanglements with the academy and my friends. Loren stared at him coldly: "This is the bottom line, there is no room for counteroffer." ”

"Of course, it makes perfect sense. Root nodded as he should: "I said, as long as you cooperate, I will never do anything to any innocent person." So... What else about that?"

"Other than that...... I need an identity - more precisely, I want to be a full member of the Night's Watch, not just someone who does things for you, and to be recognized by others!"

"You want to join the Night's Watch?" said Rutter, raising an eyebrow, his expression surprised. According to Dalton's character, he would never say anything nice about the Night's Watch, so why would Loren make such a request?

"You can refuse, but then you'll close the deal and I won't accept a second offer. Seeing the other party's fleeting stunnedness, the corners of Loren's mouth raised slightly: "Agree, or refuse?"

This apprentice is actually provoking me?

An inexplicable emotion rose in the bottom of Rute Infinit's heart, not even because of Loren's request, but because he didn't expect that the other party would actually "fight back" in such a way within the rules?

If you deny it, you will be breaking your promise, and if you accept it, you will be a part of it with an outsider who will never have any loyalty, but who knows the Night's Watch well.

Is this really the right decision? Thinking of Dalton's previous evaluation of Loren, Root was a little hesitant, but it was only "somewhat" hesitation.

"Very well, I agree - from this day onwards, you will be a full member of the Night's Watch, Lord Loren Turin. ”

Root, who was squinting and smiling, took the initiative to stretch out his left hand, and as soon as Loren, who hesitated for a moment, held it, he dragged it in front of him, and the two of them were almost face to face:

"But I alone agree no, you must prove your loyalty to the Night's Watch and to the Sakran Empire!" Bright golden eyes stared at Loren, and Root's expression was terrifying: "As for whether others can accept you, it's up to you, Your Excellency Loren Turin."

Right now...... What more do you want?!"

"I need to know where the mission is going and what I'm going to do. Loren, who was not afraid, smiled and said, "So please tell me now, so as not to be unclear in the future!"

All accidents and unexpected situations are something that Loren is extremely disgusted - especially when facing such a supreme liar, he must first discuss what to do and how far to go, otherwise he will continue to use all kinds of threats to raise the demand.

"No problem. He agreed.

"So, where is my destination?" continued Loren;

Under the frightened smile, Lut in front of him whispered and spoke:

"Wizarding City, Ebolden!"
