"Hey, White, I haven't seen you for so long, you still look lazy, you can lie on your stomach and never sit, I said, you are not young anymore, while you can move, you still have to exercise more." Otherwise, if you wait a few more days, you won't be able to move. ”

The little old man drank the tea handed over by Truman, and teased Whitehead with a smile on his face, like an old friend who had not seen him for many years.

"Duham, if you just want to talk this nonsense, where did you come from, I don't care about your intrusion this time, it can be regarded as taking care of the original friendship, I am old, but I still have the strength to clean you up."

Old White still didn't open his eyes, and continued to lie on the cushion on his stomach. But the words in the mouth are not so soft.

"Don't, I just want to try you, I really don't have any other plans! Let's get down to business, get down to business! ”

As soon as Old White said this, Durham immediately began to wave his hand. Although he and Old White hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, he still knew the temper of his old friend. When he was young, this guy had a smiling face on his face every day, as if he was harmless to humans and animals.

But everyone close to him knows what a ruthless person this guy is, and this guy never says anything excessive, but once he speaks seriously, don't take his words as a joke, he does what he says.

If Durham still dares to talk nonsense and talk nonsense, he can guarantee that this fluffy-looking white furball will definitely make him look good. And Durham isn't sure if he's a match for White right now.

"Say it! Ever since I knew that you had sent Truman back that day, I knew that sooner or later you would come to me. ”

"Hey, don't say as if we're here to take advantage, it's an exchange, it's an exchange, you don't suffer!"

"Humph! If you don't suffer a loss, you know it in your heart! If it weren't for the continuation of the guild this time, I wouldn't have agreed to you. ”

What the two old men said made Truman feel like he was covered in clouds and fog, and at the same time, he was shocked that he seemed to be pulled into a huge whirlpool, and it seemed that the group of people looking for him was not so simple.

But he was also a little puzzled, since his father knew some inside stories, why didn't he stop himself? This is not in line with his father's personality. There is a ghost in this matter, and Dad is still very clear, so why did he agree to his request?

It turned out that Truman was able to appear openly again because someone found him.

He had been living in seclusion in the "lair" for the past two years, and even very few people in the nezumi knew that he was there, but that day, suddenly a few people came to the "lair" and talked to him about cooperation, completely ignoring the guards of the "lair".

(The nest is a secret base dug deep underground by the nezumi in Port Carlin, usually only the people who take care of the nest are there, and the other nezumi don't even know the location of the nest, this is a refuge to preserve the population when the nezumi population encounters a huge threat)

The most important condition of their cooperation is that he can appear openly in the outside world, and at the same time, he will be guaranteed that the upper echelons of Port Carlin will not do anything to him. And in exchange, he had to do something for them, and they didn't say anything specifically.

Of course, Truman wouldn't be stupid enough to agree, he had to see sincerity, and he couldn't say whatever others said, right?

The group didn't refuse, but really showed their strength, and they took Truman to meet a figure he never dreamed of encountering, the boss of the Port Carlin Security Association, Sidney Hamid.

The so-called security association is the highest violent body in Port Carlin except for the Janissaries, and the city defense battalion, the security team, and the patrol camp are all under the management of this association.

It can be said that Port Carlin is the most powerful institution besides the king. The permanent representatives of this association, a total of thirteen, were all the most powerful nobles in Port Carlin.

They and the king have always owned half of the port of Carlin, and the tax revenue of the port of Carlin is divided between them. And sometimes, the nobles of these guilds spoke more effectively in Port Carlin than the emperor.

Being a king in Port Carlin is a very hard thing, a large group of big nobles in the country who have troops and respect themselves, and they are not much bird kings at all, and in the capital Port Carlin, the king is the same, and he still can't control those local nobles.

If it weren't for the fact that King Kalinshan had a huge amount of taxes to do well, it is estimated that few people would be willing to be this broken king.

(According to the political rules of Kalinsan, as long as you sit on the throne of the king, then half of the tax revenue of Port Carlin must go to the king, and no one is allowed to touch it, as long as you violate it, you will die very badly, as for why this happens, outsiders do not know)

And the nobles of these security associations are supported by powerful nobles behind them, and their interests, even the king, cannot be moved.

These people were also the source of interests for those big nobles, after all, the taxes of an international metropolis like Port Carlin are really a big fat piece of meat, and those powerful big nobles can't really watch it.

Sidney Hamid is a big man in the security association, his family has been in the association for generations, and he is considered to be powerful, and behind him are several big nobles in the east of Kalinshan, and the power is very strong.

The big guy opened his mouth to guarantee that then Truman appeared on the street openly, and no one could have anything to say, after all, the big guy had spoken, and the members of other associations would never refute Sidney's face for the sake of a little Truman.

As for it, will this big guy lie to him? That's a joke, Sidney Hamid doesn't know how to lie, on the contrary, this kind of person doesn't know how much better than ordinary people.

But lying to Truman? Is it necessary? Or did Truman qualify for this? If he wanted Truman to die, it wouldn't be too simple, so why bother?

Even, he will clean up the Sharp Tooth Guild if he wants to, as long as he doesn't kill it all, the Sharp Tooth Guild won't dare to resist!

Now that he has been assured, of course Truman is willing to cooperate with them, he wants to go out, he wants to go out, he wants to avenge the dead Tiffany all the time, he wants to return all the humiliation that Tegula gave him!

Truman thought at the time that the biggest obstacle to his going out was his father, after all, he knew too well who his father was, but what he didn't expect was that his father actually agreed very happily, and now it seems that there is another secret in this matter, but he doesn't know.

"Hehe, it seems that you know something, otherwise with your temperament, it would be impossible to watch Truman go with me without blocking it." Durham looked at Old White with a wicked smile, a picture of me seeing through you.

Old White didn't pay attention to Durham's sneer, but glanced at Durham thoughtfully, and said a little melancholy: "You haven't been out and about for many years, why do you want to get involved in this kind of thing?" It's not fun, if you're not careful, you old bones may get into it at any time, don't think that the kid behind you will win. ”

"No way, the children's debts can't be repaid, if I don't come out, what will my daughter do? I had to fight this old bone to earn a future for them. Speaking of this, Durham is also rarely serious, although the words are complaining that he can't help himself, but when he speaks, there is still a little tenderness in his eyes.

"Alas...... I persuaded you to take Winnie away, but you didn't listen. ”

"Ahh You found someone to bring me a message, and there was no one to come, so you called me persuasion? Besides, that dead girl was the same as eating a scale, and she had to be killed with that kid, what could I do? That's my own daughter! ”

"As a friend, I'll make an exception to give you a reminder, hurry up and take Winnie away, this time I said it in front of you, you can think about it!" Old White didn't care about Durham's complaints, but got up rarely, turned into a human form and said to Durham very seriously.

Old White's human form is not at all like Truman, on the contrary, he is a fairy-like man. (Ref. Gandalf)

With white hair, meticulously combed, and a beard on his mouth that is not the standard nezumi beard, but a very stylish long beard, his eyes are gentle and full of wisdom, and this appearance makes it hard to believe that he is a real nezumi.

Because of this, Old White rarely shows his human form in front of people, and most of the time, he faces others in the image of a big white mouse, and even Truman rarely sees his human appearance.

As soon as he saw his father turn into a human form, Truman began to mumble in his heart again, he wondered if he was born to his father since he was a child.

His father's name is handsome and dashing, and he is a typical nezumi-looking man, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes. He couldn't figure out how much he looked like his father.

Whether it's personality or appearance, it's far from the same.

"Phew! You're still going to be a rat stronger! Every time I see you like this, I wonder who I am or you who is the rat man! You said that you're old, why are you still so handsome! God is so blind! ”

As soon as he saw Old White turn into a human form, Durham began to complain wildly! Not to mention, if someone else who doesn't know is here, ask him whose son Truman is, and it is estimated that most people will choose Durham.

Because Old White really doesn't match the race of rat people, although Durham looks almost like a rat man, there is definitely no gap between White and White.

"Don't change the subject, Duham. Let's go, get out of this circle of right and wrong, I don't have many friends in my life, you are more or less one, I don't want you to die here! ”

Hearing White say this, Durham knew that he couldn't get mixed up, so he could only look at his old friend and say firmly.

"In my life, the only thing I owe is my daughter, her mother died for me, what about her? I haven't taken care of her since I was a child, she can grow up thanks to herself, I, as a father, haven't done anything to her. Now, I'm also old, and I don't have a few years to live, so when I'm done, I can help her a little more. ”

"That's why I want you to take her away."

"You ......" Durham looked at White in surprise, although he hadn't seen him for many years, Durham still knew White, he could say this so seriously, it seemed that he knew something!

"What the hell do you know? I hate that kid for fascinating my daughter, but his ability, I really don't have to say, with the help of his mother's family, it is impossible to have no chance of winning, why are you so optimistic about him? ”

White didn't speak, but shook his head and continued to look at Dureham. In the end, Durham frowned and thought about it for a long time, and also shook his head. Seeing Dulum's action, there was a wave of disappointment in White's eyes.

"Okay, you don't want to quit, so let's talk about the next cooperation, what do you want us to do?"
