Chapter 140: Elders' Council
The next day, outside Akara's tent, Kasha was already sitting there, saying that it was not impossible to think about it, in order not to be late, he slept here last night.
"Yo, Wu, morning! What's the matter, your face is a little pale, and your body hasn't recovered yet, so don't do too strenuous 'exercise'! ”
Kasha saw me coming with a pale face and staggering steps, and "comforted" me with a wicked smile on his face—could it be that this gossip girl had heard something? No way!
I stopped weakly, signaling that I was not in the mood to continue, although her guess was good, I went to that kind of place, but the reason for my weakness was not because of that aspect......
The Ladies Street, as it is called, does not strike me as strange at all from the mouth of a rude barbarian like Doug, and I guess if those paladins or mages were to say something a little more elegant.
As the name suggests, this is actually an integration of a brothel, and every woman in it is a poor woman who has lost her family and has no support, and in order to support herself or those family members who are also unable to work, they can only choose this kind of work, which is different from the original world, those women who engage in this kind of work purely because of depravity, so the status of women here is not low, at least, even if it is a noble job, they cannot be forced to trade.
After the monster attacks that affected the entire Rogue camp adventure were over, business in the Ladies Market had been booming in recent days, barbarians. Druids, assassins, even mages and paladins can be seen, as well as mercenaries, and of course, there is a profession that is unlikely to be seen......
Seeing this situation, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, ha, everyone is a man.
But. Before I could feel at ease, suddenly a few idiots shouted in front of me: "Lord Wu Fan, it turns out that you are also here, haha......"
In a flash. It was as if all eyes were focused on me, and I looked at the brains in a daze, my face was pale, and I couldn't say anything for a while.
Imagine that. If you put it in the original world, when you finally made up your mind to have a good time in a nightclub, suddenly a few people walked across from the opposite side and greeted you with a voice that overpowered the heavy metal music: "Secretary of the XX Municipal Party Committee." So you're here, too, haha...... What a coincidence, let's prostitute together......"
Immersive words. You can understand how I felt at that time.
Doug, this bastard with a thousand cuts. It's as if I'm afraid that others won't know. dragged me in frustration, like a demonstration. I walked around the whole women's street several times, and then irresponsibly stuffed me into a tent, and I was happy, I never thought that my first time, it was actually completed in this kind of lost soul, fortunately, the sister who accompanied me, the appearance is very delicate, the figure is also good, it is said that it is a very famous woman there, if it is a dinosaur, I have to tear Doug alive, hum......
In short, if it is not necessary in the future, it is better to go to that kind of place less.
"Anyway, what's going on this time."
I lay on the grass with a stick of grass in my mouth.
"Let's wait until Kane and the others come."
Kasha took out a wine bottle from his waist - I didn't expect Farah to be able to make another one for Kasha in just a few days, and the efficiency was not bad, but from what I knew about that stingy old man, I guess there was some handle in Kasha's hand, so I had to do it for her.
After a while, Kane walked over with his cane in high spirits, and then Farah, who came almost in time, as if he were a busy man, as if we were very leisurely, and the three of them invariably gave him a disdainful look.
Farah came on the front foot, and the big boss Acala, as if he had calculated accurately, also opened the tent slowly, holding a cane in one hand and a large bottle in the other, which was still steaming.
Looking back, the old man Farah didn't know when, out of the inventory, a whole set of beautiful tables and chairs in the style of a sitting meeting, and then arranged a soundproof barrier around it.
I mean, can't you have something meaningful in your inventory?
I muttered and pulled out a chair and sat down, no more, no less, exactly five, it seemed to be premeditated, which made me even more vigilant, the four people sitting in front of me were all old foxes, and in their eyes, I guess they were at most just lamb-level creatures.
"So, let's discuss the report of this battle first."
As if not seeing the confusion on my face, Akara pulled out a parchment scroll from his bosom, which was densely filled with words.
"This is what Kane counted, and there are specific losses about this battle."
She pointed to the parchment scroll on the table, but the other three didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything, and it was estimated that the numbers were already engraved in their hearts.
Only I, who did not have a comprehensive understanding of this battle, in order to forget the strange atmosphere of the present, picked up the parchment scroll with trepidation and read it carefully.
Deaths, wounded, this is the number that Akara told me, as well as the specific consumption of food, the expenditure of gold coins, the existing reserves of Rog's camp, and even the destruction of this year's harvest by this battle, how many families have completely lost their labor because of this battle, etc., there are more detailed numbers, it is really not a loss of Kane, it is simply comprehensive.
By the time I had read the parchment closely, the four of them had already begun to discuss.
"Solicitation or ...... to transfer to a job" Akara.
"After this battle, the price of food will definitely be raised, but the income of civilians ......," Kane.
"Strengthen the village's defenses, and the research work on magic alarms, leave it to me......" Farrah.
"If necessary, you can also negotiate with the Rugauin side...... "Akara."
It felt like their conversation was all about sitting around a round table. Holding my stomach and cocking Erlang's legs, the high-ranking officials will only touch on the topic, and I, who don't know anything about these, was stunned on the side, unable to interject at all, and felt more outsiders than outsiders.
Ah, maybe there's another fellow with me, poor Kasha, who doesn't seem to say anything. But her mentality is much better than mine, or it can be said that she is thick-skinned, and she is drinking a sip of ale and a sip of pure water at this time. Hey, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?
And the two main players of this seminar, Akara and Kane, finally gave me a glimpse of their strength. Those problems that I saw as almost impossible to solve, but after careful negotiation with them, I began to feel that these problems did not seem to be very difficult.
Management is really not something that everyone can do, and Akara and Kane don't have the strength of Farah and them. But relative to the entire Rog camp, the two of them are the truly indispensable characters.
The discussion lasted for more than two hours, and the parchment was full of difficult problems. It seems to have almost been dissolved. In one. The only thing that I heard was that Camp Rogge might be strapped this year, and after this year, it would be back to its pre-war level next year.
"Alright, that's all for that." Akara smiled faintly and put away the sheepskin roll on the table.
"Dear Di Wu, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, I'm afraid you're also wondering why a few of our old guys specially called you here."
"Eun."
My head nodded like a chick pecking rice, and I was ignored for almost 3 hours, and I really felt a little tearful at the moment.
"Hehe......"
The four of them looked at each other, and then laughed softly, as if four old foxes were discussing how to talk about how to beak around a chicken, and suddenly I felt a kind of terror like a sting in the back.
Finally, Akara spoke.
"It's a bit of a formula, but I still have to ask you a few questions."
"Yes," I nodded.
"Do you like Camp Rogge?"
Akara's first question left me scratching my head a little, but I nodded anyway.
"Do you want to protect your important people?"
I continued to nod, isn't this nonsense?
"Can you do anything for the people in Camp Roger?"
"It depends on who and what you give." I replied without a leak.
"So, one last question." Akara gave me an appreciative look, then took a deep breath that made me nervous.
"Are you idle?"
"Huh? Ah, all unexpected questions, made me nod subconsciously.
"That's great."
Akara said with a smile like a fish in the bait.
"Welcome to join us."
She took another parchment roll from her bosom and unfolded it, and Kasha took advantage of me, slicing my fingers with lightning speed and pressing on it.
"Wait, what are you doing...... "I have the feeling of being forced to make a contract of sale.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
The culprit, Kasha, held my hand without any consciousness at this time, shaking it desperately, and the happy look seemed to say, Ah! Finally found the substitute ghost.
"Hehe, don't worry about Kasha's words, No, you can see for yourself." Akara's smile was particularly terrifying today.
I trembled and picked up the parchment scroll, and for a moment, I saw only four big red characters on it—Honorary Elder.
"Honorary Elder?"
"That's it." Farah patted me on the shoulder with a sad face.
"Do you want me to be?"
The four of them nodded in unison.
"What are you kidding, I can't do this."
I shook my head like I had knocked a few kilograms of ecstasy, and if it weren't for the presence of the two old BTs, Cassa and Farah, I would have run away.
"It's okay, we'll take into account your abilities."
"What is the responsibility of an Elder Emeritus?" I'm not stupid enough to go to YY first.
"It's nothing, some urgent tasks, just like this monster attack, the most important thing for you now is to improve your strength, and other tasks will be talked about later."
As if to see the worry in my heart, Akara continued with a smile.
"Don't worry, we won't be strong, and, if you agree, everyone will be equal in the future. No one can force anyone, if you have any questions about the task and don't want to do it, you can refuse, we don't give you orders, but requests. ”
"Then why do you have to give me such an honorary elder? Even if you don't give it, if you have any tasks, as long as it's not too difficult, I'll gladly accept it. I calmly analyzed the doubts inside.
"Wu. Maybe you're not a genius, but there's no doubt that you're a practical person, and I just appreciate that. Akara nodded in satisfaction.
"We don't mean anything else. I just hope that with this identity, you can camp for Rogge in everything...... No, it's the entire Dark Continent that thinks about it more. She sighed. He gave me a deep look.
“……”
Is it the so-called earth bond? I couldn't help but think of the blood-red demon bear in my mind, and I thought in a daze.
"So, you can sue me, Elder Emeritus. Are there any rights? I was stunned for a long time before finally smiling.
The four of Akara immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this was really the best result. If I don't say yes. There's no way they're really going to do anything to me.
"It is possible to mobilize the entire Rogue camp soldiers. Even mercenaries, critical moments. Even a job change must be obeyed. Kashya tempted, looking at my disinterested, disappointed.
"You can enter and exit the Mage Guild freely, and even have priority access to the latest magic items." Farah said very angrily on the side, no, this is absolutely not to be discussed.
"Feel free to flip through the materials, including the most confidential texts." Kane smiled and stroked his white beard, with this kung fu, I might as well spend a while with Shara.
"Have the right to use the teleportation site." Akara's words were succinct and shocking, but they touched me the most
"Teleportation? I can even teleport directly from Camp Rog to Harogas and back from there. I said with a twinkle in my eyes.
"You're only half right." Akara said to me mysteriously.
"You can teleport anywhere from Camp Rog, including Harlogas, but it's not in my right to come back from there, and you have to get permission from there."
"Huh? In other words, it's just a one-way transmission? I sighed in disappointment.
"Don't be discouraged, when the time comes, I will write a letter by myself, and I think they will sell a few thin noodles, but they may also give you some small tests, which should be no problem for you."
"No, absolutely not." I said excitedly, teleportation, isn't this like a game, you can run around?
"Don't get too happy." Farah glared at me.
"The cost of remote teleportation is very high, don't just cause us trouble."
"At most, I'll make up for it......"
In my joy, I began to lose my family, and as soon as I finished speaking, I realized that I was digging my own grave.
"Yo, it's not a small tone, but I heard that your kid's violent rate is really good." Kashya looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Boy, the Mage Guild will rely on you in the future."
Farah patted me on the shoulder, looking like she was enveloping me as many times as you wanted.
"Hey...... "This is the so-called end of getting carried away."
However, this loss is nothing to me, and after thinking about it, I have a final decision on the few issues they just discussed.
"Boom la la ......"
There was a crisp metal crash, and a steady stream of gold coins poured out of my inventory, and in a few moments, they accumulated to the height of a table.
"Lord Akara has said that I want to raise money or borrow money from the transfer of jobs, so I'll be the first one.
"Oops,
Akara said with a smile, in fact, this money is not a lot, think about it, just identifying the scroll costs 50 gold coins a piece, just tens of thousands of gold and silver coins piled together, that dazzling exaggeration.
"It's really hateful, I've heard that this kid of yours is rich, but I didn't expect to be so rich." Kashya said with an unwilling expression, as if he regretted why he hadn't blackmailed a little more when he was in Vitas Village.
Ha, I must not let them know that I still have a lot of them in the storage box, and I thought silently to myself when I saw Kashya and Farah looking like they were money fans.
But to be honest, I don't have any idea of gold coins now, if it weren't for the lazy crow's tirelessness in collecting them. Maybe I'm too lazy to pick it up.
"A total of 18,432 gold coins and 13,508 silver coins, I accepted it with shame."
Akara's words startled me, how many minutes had passed, and it had already been calculated? Is this the so-called stereoscopic scanning + humanoid computer function? The power of the Great Eye. It suddenly seemed mysterious in my mind.
Then, Farah magically engraved 2 parchment scrolls, one for Akara to keep, and one for me.
"Not because you're an elder. Just collect your gold coins for nothing, and do things according to the rules. Akara said.
Next......
"Boy, it's hard for me to manage six training camps by myself. Well, help me share the burden. Kasha said as he patted me on the shoulder in a friendly way.
Nonsense, when did you seriously manage the things of the training camp, I gave him a BS look.
"Wu. I'm in a bit of trouble with my record-keeping work, do you see if it's ......" Kane's words make me very embarrassed, don't you know that I am quasi-illiterate?
"There is still a lack of an elder in the guild, and I think this position belongs to you." Farah whispered mysteriously in my ear.
Cut. I'm going to be an elder of the Magic Guild, and I promise to be notorious in less than half a day, and I don't think you look like you lack an elder. to the possibility of one less research mouse.
I saw through the idea of faradi at a glance.
"Alright, alright. Wu's most important thing now is experience. Improve your strength, and none of you will want to fight any bad ideas. "The bandit leader Akara spoke. Immediately made the other three obediently shut their mouths.
"By the way, if I can use teleportation at will, can I go to Lugoin right now and not kill Andariel?" I asked, as if asking.
"As an elder, of course you can." Akara gave me an affirmative answer.
"Are you really sure you're going to Lugoin now, though? If it's local, then I'll have to prepare a letter. ”
"No, I'm just talking."
As soon as the joy passed, I immediately came to my senses—why are you in such a hurry, do you want to be a savior in my heart? I laughed at myself.
"It's okay, with your current level, I think there is still a certain amount of improvement ability in the Rogge camp, if the example can not be broken, it is better not to destroy it." Akara built yì road.
"Well, I'll think about it."
In fact, I have already made up my mind in my heart - at least I will go to Lugoin after killing Andariel, after all, I used to be a dark fan, with my current strength, if I have never even seen Andariel, how can I leave with peace of mind? Taking 10,000 steps back, Andariel Storm also makes me a little.
"Alright, then, that's the end of the meeting, and at the end, let's welcome Wu once again......" Akara concluded, and the four of them clapped their hands at me in unison.
"Hehe...... "I don't need to be reminded, I also know that my face is a little ruddy now, and from now on, I am also a member of the bandit leader."
"Then, Wu, I still have one last mention yì, take advantage of this time of cultivation to have a good exchange with Farah and Kasha, as for the problems that arose when you fought with Belier last time, the three of you can also discuss and solve it yourself, old woman, I am not good at this knowledge, okay, I will greet the guests and go ......"
Several adventures from afar approached, and Farah immediately removed the soundproofing spell, and Akara instantly packed up the bottle and cup, turned around and went into his small tent.
"Ah, by the way, a few of us were about to disband when Kashya suddenly stopped me.
"This is what Bailier dropped last time, I almost forgot."
Then, she pulled out a full diamond, a cracked sapphire, a rune, a leather glove with a green glow, a heavy boot with a pale golden glow, a blue scale armor, and a blue wolf's head???
OMG……
"Ha, don't worry, I didn't help you identify, your own things must be identified by yourself to be valuable."
Kasha is not a loss of old birds, and the excitement of the equipment is explained in one word, but I didn't expect that she also has empathetic times.
"However, the green leather gloves are clearly there, and there is no value in excitement and expectation, for the sake of economy, you better let Old Man Kane help you identify them."
"Lord Kane, I'm sorry for you."
I woke up from my excitement and nodded happily, Kashya was right, the attributes of green equipment are generally fixed, and with Kane here, there is really no need to waste precious identification scrolls.
"Hehe, Wu, you are already an elder now, and if you call it an adult, then I will be uncomfortable." Kane smiled and took my leather gloves politely.
"That's right, it's right to call him Old Man Kane in the future." Kashya immediately chimed in.
I glared at Kashya, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue in our Chinese country, and whether it is Kane's knowledge or demeanor, it is definitely worthy of my learning and respect.
"So, I'll call you Grandpa Kane in the future, you won't mind, will you?"
"Well, ah, is that okay? I certainly wouldn't mind ......"
Kane didn't expect me to say this, and was stunned for a moment before he smiled with joy.
"Hmph, your mouth is pretty sweet." Kashya snorted from the side.
"Granny Kasha......" I turned my head and looked at Kasha with a blank expression.
"You bastard......" Kashya's teeth rattled.
"The two sisters and brothers are the same, what did I do in my last life......"
"By the way, in addition to these equipment and gems, there should be a lot of gold coins."
I wanted to let her go, but seeing her exaggerated appearance, I couldn't help but say in embarrassment.
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there was something going on in the training camp, so let's do it first......"
Before I could come to my senses, Kasha was gone.
