Chapter 1696: Dumping the pot
The orc king stared at Harold for a long time with a pair of tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Who is this?" ”
Harold knelt down on one knee, said in a respectful tone, "Back to Your Majesty, in Lower Harold, he is the vice president of the New Valor Guild. ”
The Orc King frowned slightly, looking at me with tiger eyes, his domineering gaze mixed with doubt.
"He's an old friend of mine," I explained, "at the time, he was the head of the Heroic Guild of Eri City, and he was a former close minister of the Lord of Ari City. ”
The Orc King's gaze softened, he bowed slightly, and said, "Xiao Yi said that you have a way to stop the riot, is it true?" ”
Harold replied, "I can't guarantee 100 percent, but at least 70 percent sure." ”
"Seventy percent sure?" The Orc King stared at Harold with a twinkle in his eyes, but also with deep suspicion: "Tell me why you are confident." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty" Harold didn't dare to raise his head, still knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "As Prime Minister An Xiaoyi said, I used to be the president of the Heroic Guild of Ari City, and I was also a close minister of the city lord of Ari City. It is highly likely that the adventurers' guilds of Eri and Yorkhan are the most likely to infest on my territory, and I am well versed in the ways of the many adventurers' guilds in Arie, so I am seven points sure that I will be able to accomplish this task. ”
"What about the unsure Sancheng?" The Orc King asked.
"These three percent refer to the situation in which Yorkham led the intervention," Harold said: "After all, I am not familiar with Yorkhan's combat methods and combat styles, and I am afraid that I will suffer." ”
"Then why only say 30 percent, not 70 percent?" The Orc King asked again.
"I don't know what the temperament of the Lord of York City is, but I do know the character of the Lord of Ari," Harold said: "He is quite stubborn by nature, and will never be subservient to others, and the alliance between York City and Arrow City is mostly led by him, and the Lord of York City is assisted, so I conclude that those who invade the frontier are the same, and most of them will follow the instructions of those sent by the Lord of Airey, not those sent by the Lord of Yorkham, That's why I took the liberty of reducing the probability of the latter command to 30%. ”
Although it was a conjecture, Harold was well-founded, and judging by my first impression of the Lord of Ari City, he was indeed a fairly confident man, and his strong side was always revealed in his words and demeanor.
Even when he mentioned Rodney's matter, he only lamented that he would not do anything to his own son, instead of thinking about why Rodney fled Ari City.
After hearing this, the orc king nodded slightly, and said to me: "Xiao Yi, he is the person you brought, what do you think of him?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I think it's very good, reasonable, well-organized, besides, among the foreigners who fled to Dacya, Harold is the only one who has come into contact with many adventurers' guilds. ”
The orc king laughed and said, "Since you have said so, then he will leave it to you to arrange, but I want to remind you of two points, first, I can accept defeat, but it cannot end in failure, and second, I can't mess with the frontier simply for the sake of victory, do you remember what I said?" ”
"Remember," I replied with a nod.
The orc king bowed slightly, and said, "Do you have anything else to do besides this?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No." ”
"Very well," said the orc king, "then step aside." ”
"Yes."
In response, I took Harold out of the back garden.
Out of the palace, Harold exhaled lightly and said with emotion: "He is worthy of being the king of the orc clan, and his momentum is strong." ”
I smiled lightly and said, "How does it compare to the city lord of Eri City?" ”
"It's not good" he shook his head and said: "The city lord of Eri City is good at attacking and planning, but his own strength is very weak, and this orc king, he is a righteous gentleman, whoever likes to do it with a knife and a gun, I am afraid that he is not as good as the city lord of Eri City in terms of planning, but his own strength is quite terrifying, I am not as good as him." ”
"Yo, the eyes are quite poisonous," I said.
"What's poisonous about this, there are more people in contact, how many can be analyzed" Speaking of this, Harold paused and said, "By the way, Xiaoyi, how do you plan to arrange me?" ”
I sighed deeply and said bitterly: "To be honest, I didn't think about it, originally I meant to introduce you to the orc king and let him assign you, but who would have thought that the orc king would dump this matter on my head again......"
"Huh?" Harold frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "Why does this sound wrong, as if I am a burden." ”
I pouted and said, "It's not a burden, but it's a big mountain that weighs on my back and makes it difficult for me to breathe." ”
"Big mountain?" Harold's brows furrowed even deeper: "What's the difference with a burden?" ”
"Of course it's different," I said, shaking my head, "Cumbersome refers to waste, that is, things that should be discarded, and the mountains, which are treasures, can not only suppress, but also keep out the wind, and can also shelter from the rain." ”
The corners of Harold's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand again and again, and said, "That's it, don't explain, I won't ask, the more I listen, the more wrong it is." ”
Seeing his helpless expression, I smiled and stopped making a sound.
Walking dozens of steps, a flash of inspiration flashed, I suddenly had an idea, patted my head, and said: "Yes, such a simple question, why didn't I think of it!" ”
Harold had a question mark on his face: "Are you okay?" ”
"Of course I'm fine," I glanced at him, and I said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I look like I'm in trouble?" ”
"And how ......did you react just now?"
"That's excitement," I said, "I've figured out how to arrange for you." ”
"Oh?" When Harold heard this, he was curious and couldn't help asking, "How to arrange it?" ”
"Of course, it's up to the old duke to arrange it!" I said as a matter of course: "His old man is the supreme commander of the Orc King Sent to the Frontier to suppress the rebellion, and it is not a matter of course for him to arrange for you, oops, how could I forget such an important matter!" ”
After that, he slapped his head again to show self-punishment.
Then I took Harold and hurried to the old duke's mansion.
When I arrived at the gate, I explained my intention to the waiter, and the waiter did not dare to slack off, and hurried back to the house to report.
When the old duke arrived, I bowed to him and said in a deep voice: "Junior, An Xiaoyi, has seen seniors." ”
The old duke laughed and said, "You kid, you are so polite to me, come, come into the house, let's talk about something." ”
With that, he led me into the house enthusiastically, and Harold followed silently, not daring to squeak, but looking at the old duke with a pair of sparkling eyes.
