Surrounded by more than twenty or thirty beggars, these people knelt in front of Hawk and Link, and although there was a look of cowardice in their eyes, they did not leave.
It was quiet in the alley, and Hawke looked around at the beggars and frowned: "You just said that you hope I can lead you to eat together, why do you have such thoughts?" β
The middle-aged beggar laughed and said, "You two bigwigs have been hanging around here for a while, and we have watched you go from not being able to afford to eat, but now you can buy furniture and a house." So I'm thinking, you two big guys, there must be a way for us to have our stomachs full. We don't have any other ability, but we are obedient, as long as we can eat our stomachs, we are willing to do whatever your Excellency asks us to do. β
The commotion of the street was faintly heard from the corner of the alley, and the beggars knelt on the ground, looking serious to the point of being almost pious.
Link was a little moved, and he looked at Hawke, as if he was about to say something.
But at this time, Hawke suddenly sneered, reached out and pulled the middle-aged beggar who was talking by the collar, and lifted the latter up hard.
Then he slammed into the wall of the alley.
With a thud, the middle-aged beggar's face twisted in pain, and he grabbed Hawke's hands so hard that he could twist them away so that he could get out of the air.
But he was just a beggar who couldn't eat all year round, while Hawke was a professional, and although he was of a very low rank, he was not something that a beggar could compete with.
From the time Hawke lifted the beggar up to the time he slammed it against the wall, those two movements were too fast.
When the others reacted, most of the kneeling beggars immediately ran away, and many were so frightened that they got up from the ground and ran away. Link, on the other hand, stared at Hawke.
He didn't understand why Hawke was bullying a beggar, but as a good friend, he didn't bother to ask.
The beggar who was being held up had more and more difficulty breathing, and soon his face turned red, and Hawke raised his hand with one hand and asked coldly, "Who taught you what you said just now." You beggar can't say such coherent words. If you have such skills, at least you can eat enough, and you don't need to be a beggar at all. β
The beggar shook his head vigorously.
"I don't want to say yes." Hawke's face was a little hideous, and he slammed the beggar against the wall again.
After a thud, the beggar's face turned white and red, and he began to cough vigorously, then shook his head more vigorously, and his hands seemed to be on Hawke's hands.
"Still don't want to say?" Hawke gestured to hit the wall with the beggar.
Hearing this, the beggar struggled even harder.
At this time, Link said out loud: "Hawke, he may have been caught in the neck by the collar, unable to speak, and unable to breathe. β
"I know, I did it on purpose." Hawke threw the beggar to the ground, then half-crouched down and said with a grim smile, "A beggar like you can't say anything like that." Who taught you to say that? β
The beggar gasped for breath and looked at Hawk in horror, and when his body was no longer so deprived of oxygen, he immediately sat down on the ground and pushed his legs to move his body backwards, but unfortunately Hawke stepped on his calf with one leg and fixed him to the ground.
"Ah, my legs, please, let go!" The beggar screamed.
Hawke was unmoved, he said coldly: "In the past two months, I have killed not three hundred, but at least two hundred, and one more than you is not too much." If you don't tell me who brought you to me, don't make it out of this alley alive. β
As he spoke, Hawke's legs continued to strain.
The beggar screamed, and even the sound of brittling bones could be faintly heard.
The middle-aged beggar was not the kind of person who was strong-willed, and he immediately cried out: "I said, I said, please let me go." β
Hawke retracted his legs, condescendingly, as if looking down at a bed bug: "Say." β
"It's Captain Lucian of the City Guard."
After the middle-aged beggar finished speaking, he stood up and ran, and he turned back as he ran, and when he saw that Hawke was not chasing, he ran faster.
Looking at the back of the beggar fleeing, Hawke's expression became more and more gloomy.
The sun was scorching, but the atmosphere in the alleys was a little cool. Link sighed, stroked the long broken hair on his forehead, and said lightly, "What did he want to do when he asked the beggars to join us...... Troublesome things are one after another, let's move somewhere else, Hawke. Anyway, now we have a few gold coins, hire a better carriage and travel to other cities together. β
Link's voice said that it was a little soft, but also a little expectant.
Hawke shook his head: "It's not happy, if we just leave like this, what's the difference between it and a mourning dog." β
"But we seem to have been targeted by the nobles." Link had a tired look on his face: "But I just want to be happy and play the game easily, I don't want to play the game as a pure combat online game that keeps killing." β
"Link, you're so naΓ―ve." Hawke shook his head: "Even if we go to the next city, what will happen to us will be similar to what we do now." β
Link pursed his lips and said with a weak expression, "But when we go to a new city, we can find a way to establish a good relationship with the nobles." Just like Roland. β
Hawke was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.
At this time, Roland came out of the corner, and as he walked, he said, "I explained in advance, I don't have a good relationship with the nobles. β
Both Hawk and Link were a little surprised to see Roland.
Seeing their expressions, Roland smiled and said, "I have something I want to ask you for, but I didn't expect to see a good show." β
Hawke put away his surprised expression, and then said, "Don't stand at the door, come into the house and talk." β
The three of them entered the room and sat down, and Link brought a glass of boiling water.
Although it's a game, Link also seems to bring in the habits of reality.
After taking a sip, Roland said, "Following on from the topic just now, I didn't have a good relationship with the nobles. β
Link sat aside and said, "But you're in the magic tower. β
"The caster has privileges, and although he is not a nobleman, he has a high status." Roland explained, "And most importantly, the nobles are not only targeting you, I should also be in their range, but I am not acting for the time being. β
Hawk and Link immediately remembered the 'banquet' invitation. They both sighed.
Thinking of the last name he had just spoken, Hawke asked, "Roland, what do you think of the name that the beggar just said?" β
"It cannot be ruled out that it is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. If you take those beggars, you are a burden, you have to take care of them, you will be blamed if you don't do well, and you will be placed by others with chess pieces by your side. Roland thought for a moment and said, "If you go directly to the trouble of that squad leader now, maybe it is exactly what the mastermind behind the scenes wants." β
Hawke nodded: "I think so too...... Fuck, we have so little information about the division of forces in the city, the organization of the territory, etc., that it is difficult to make a basic deduction of the situation. β
"It's not that hard." Roland smiled: "It's better to plan the plan, how about you really organize those beggars?" Of course, the beggars just now can't ask for it. Anyway, both of you are from the Great Guild, so you should have some organizational and mobilization skills. The intelligence capabilities of the beggars should not be bad. β
"You mean, let's build a gang of beggars?"
Roland nodded: "Yes, NPCs can build forces, of course we can, this game is very free." β
