Sell yourself for a good price...... That's a familiar statement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Loren raised his glass to cover half of his face, and kept looking at the other man—this Lord Rut Infinit was supposed to be a wizard, and a sorcerer on a par with Dalton Kander, perhaps even more powerful than the Mentor.

If he is given a chance to make a move in such a narrow place, it is difficult to say whether he has a chance of winning.

However, judging from the other party's holding of his hand just now, at least he should not be as fast as himself, as long as he holds his left hand to block the possibility of him using the spell, in the blink of an eye, he can plunge the dagger into his throat!

Loren's arm "inadvertently" leaned against the table and moved forward slightly, and the index finger of his right hand hidden under his left hand lightly touched the dagger in his sleeve, and his pupils never let the other party's gaze leave his sight, only for a moment......

"If you're going to kill me, there's no need to talk about it. ”

The smiling Rutte's expression suddenly turned cold, and his stiff expression was exactly the same as Dalton's: "Even if you can really succeed, can you still protect others?"

Loren paused and looked at him calmly: "I don't quite understand. ”

"As I said, we are a glorious community, and I am one of them—if I die, the affairs of Wimpal College will be made public, and Dalton Kander will surely die, and your friends Isaac Grantham and Ain Rand will ...... Even the female elf and a little boy named Hat would have died. ”

He's blackmailing himself!

The hands that were suddenly clenched trembled violently, Loren gritted his teeth and tried desperately to calm down, barely squeezing out a "smile": "You...... What else do you know?"

"A lot, and it doesn't take much effort at all. Ruth Infinit smiled flatly: "I'm not trying to blackmail you, Dalton's apprentice, I'm telling you the consequences of impulsiveness and recklessness. ”

"Now let's say it again, I need you to do something for me, this task was supposed to be given to your mentor, but now it can only be left to you. So for Dalton Kand's sake, I'll allow you to offer a good price. ”

"Compare me to Mentor Dalton, you think so highly of me. Loren shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary wizard. ”

"But judging by the efficiency and skill of completing the task, it has been proven that you are up to the task. Rutter's expression didn't change in the slightest: "And it's up to me, not you, whether or not to overestimate it - let's go back to the price, Loren Torino." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Loren drank the ale and stared at the other party deadly: "Before I answer you, I must at least know who I want to die for?"

"That's a good question, it's a good start. Rutter smiled again, "We usually call ourselves the Night's Watch, but some enemies prefer to call us 'Black Hands' - of course, this has something to do with the 'Spellcaster'. ”

"We are not a church order, nor are we an underground wizarding organization, we have only one object of allegiance - this land under your feet, the eternal Sakran Empire!"

Root, who became serious, said in a deep voice: "There are only two paths in front of you now. Either kill me, if you really have the ability, you can win yourself and your friends a short respite, but eventually you all have to die, or choose to cooperate with us, and you can get far more than a little wizard advisor!"

The black-haired wizard lowered his glass.

"You said give me a choice. Loren shook his head: "But in fact, I have no choice. ”

"So, are you willing to say yes?" Rult looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man, and his expression was full of regret.

"No, if you don't break your word, I'm more than happy to help you. Loren changed his words: "But now the initiative is completely in your hands, whether I want it or not, the result is the same." ”

"What do you need?"

"I'm going to meet with Mentor Dalton. Loren smiled imperceptibly: "At the same time you have to let him go." If I agree, you must ensure the safety of the Academy, and at the same time not let anyone notice that I am leaving, and at least have a plausible explanation from Count Ruben Fleet. ”

Rout Infinit did not answer immediately.

Lorenty's request wasn't excessive, and it even sounded reasonable, and in line with his current situation—but just looking at the other man's face made one feel inexplicably suspicious.

What was his purpose, just to meet Dalton? Of course, Rout was only hesitant for a moment. As Loren said, the initiative is entirely in his hands, and the result is the same whether you agree or not.

"Deal. ”

.................. "It's been a long time, Mentor Dalton, you look good!"

Loren, who pushed open the door, took the initiative to show a flattering smile to the black-robed wizard in the room, completely ignoring the corners of the other's sarcastic mouth that were about to twist.

"I originally thought that although you were not very talented, you had at least the basic qualities of being a wizard. Although tied to a chair, Dalton's expression was not at all a prisoner, but more like the owner of the room: "I really overestimate you." ”

"Do you want me to watch him kill you?"

"He won't kill me, and he can't. The black-robed wizard's expression was a matter of course: "You should be aware of this. ”

"But I'm sorry, but I can't be completely sure that I'm sane enough when the lives of my mentor and friends are threatened. Closing the door casually, Loren shook his head helplessly: "Besides, I haven't promised this Mr. Rute Infinit yet!"

"No?" Dalton gave him a mocking look, "After you walk through this door, is there a second way?"

Loren spread his hands and smiled brightly, clearly knowing his mentor well.

"At least you're not hopelessly stupid enough to know the importance of intelligence. Dalton said with a blank face, "The probability of getting the truth from the mouth of Root Infinit is far less than the probability of a camel going through the eye of a needle." ”

“...... I really didn't expect you to tell a bad joke... Uh, when I didn't say, please continue. ”

"The Night's Watch is a very large organization and is pervasive. But the core members are very scarce. The black-robed wizard's face stiffened: "Although I have served it, it is definitely not a glorious group;

"Like Kahlan?" Loren asked rhetorically, "Assassins plus intelligence?"

"Assassins, plus intelligence. Dalton twitched the corners of his mouth, strongly disapproving of Loren's adjective: "Wandering knight, thief, wizard, intelligence dealer...... The vast majority is made up of these people. ”

"The true 'Night's Watch' are a group of magician, stalking, assassinating, and lurking assassins, most of whom were former wizards or systematically trained, brutal and efficient. ”

The black-robed wizard's voice was low and cold, making people want to shudder: "I don't know your plans, and I don't want to know. If it's just you, go to your death - but deal with the Night's Watch, and the people around you will no longer be safe, and they will be under their surveillance at all times!"

"But they've already found the door, and it doesn't make sense even if I want to run away. Loren looked directly into the eyes of his mentor and raised a slight smile: "Who made my mentor one of them?"

"You once asked me if I really wanted to be your apprentice, and I chose yes - I was not afraid of the price of my choice. ”

"Sometimes you don't have a choice at all......"

Dalton whispered softly, his eyes flashing a hint of heaviness, but he quickly controlled himself and regained his indifference: "If you want to ask anything, just ask, now that I have enough time, I can't leave." ”

"I want to know all about this Lord Rute Infinit, and about the Night's Watch. Loren smiled and said:

"If you plan to turn back on the water one day, at least you have to know how to deal with them!"
