030 Confession
Old Jack said he wanted to talk to Karen, and he went straight to him that night.
When Karen came back from the militia, she opened the door and saw that Old Jack was already waiting for her at home, and Karen smiled without a hint of surprise: "I guess you should almost come to see me." ”
"Looks like you know exactly what you're doing!" Old Jack sneered: "Let's talk about it, you tore your face with Perrick again, and you formed a militia, what do you want to do?" ”
Karen didn't answer immediately, but put down the wood knife in her hand first, and then walked in front of Old Jack.
"You're the one who has watched me grow up, and you know me well.
I'm not that kind of person, I can kneel down and be a dog, I can bow my head and be his deputy, but I can't stand kneeling down and being a dog for him, so naturally I can't go with him! ”
Old Jack asked again, "Then form a militia?" ”
This question, Karen didn't answer it immediately, but got up and walked around twice, then stopped to look at Old Jack, his face was a little hesitant, but finally spoke: "This task shouldn't be as simple as you say!" ”
Old Jack's face turned dark, and he scolded angrily: "You are a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is obedience, you shouldn't ask ......."
But halfway through the sentence, Old Jack himself stopped, because Karen looked into his eyes at this time, and did not dodge in the slightest because of his anger!
"Looks like your wings are stiff! Do you think that if you can kill a demonic beast, you are qualified to be arrogant in front of me? ”
Old Jack's gaze froze, and he looked directly at Karen and slowly stood up.
At this moment, Karen felt as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and goosebumps stood up all over her body.
This is the first time that Karen has clearly felt the strength of Old Jack, very strong, at least much stronger than him now!
However, Karen's face at this time has always been calm: "You know, I have always respected you very much, how can I be arrogant in front of you." ”
"You should also know what my background is, to say a bad word, I'm just a country boy, it's just that I was lucky to meet you, and I have the opportunity to grow up to where I am today, and I have always been very grateful to you!"
Looking at Karen half-loudly, Old Jack finally put away his momentum and snorted coldly: "That's how you are grateful?" ”
Karen laughed and did not respond.
At this time, Old Jack was also silent, and he muttered for a long time before he spoke leisurely: "Let's talk about it, you first tell me your judgment on this task, and why you want to form this militia." ”
Karen wasn't going around the bush with Old Jack at this time: "I think the mission this time, the focus is not on the ghost thieves, the focus should be on the village in front of you, the Bourbon Kingdom wants to establish this village as a stronghold, maybe even a town?" ”
Speaking of this, Karen paused, and then continued: "And I think this is an opportunity for me, once I really become a core member of this mission, it will be of great benefit to me, and the opportunity to reach the sky is in front of me, I have no reason to give up!" ”
Karen didn't hide his ambitions, he knew very well that ambition is not something that needs to be hidden all the time, sometimes you even need to properly show your ambitions to succeed, and Karen doesn't feel that her ambitions can be hidden.
Sure enough, after Karen said this, Old Jack was not surprised, but sneered: "You are honest!" ”
"If you want to get something, you have to try your best to get it, and I don't think it's something to hide." Karen said lightly.
Hearing this, Old Jack turned to look at Karen, looking more carefully than any time before, as if he wanted to get to know Karen again, and Karen didn't dodge his gaze either.
After a long while, Old Jack retracted his gaze, and the only remaining one-arm knocked on the table for a long time before sighing lightly: "To tell you the truth, this mission is indeed not so simple, but you are wrong about one thing, the ghost thieves are indeed the goal of this mission, and the main goal." ”
As soon as Old Jack's words came out, Karen blurted out with a flash of inspiration in her mind: "Deal? ”
Hearing the two words that Karen blurted out, Old Jack's face changed first, and then calmed down again, just looking at Karen's gaze a little more amazed.
"You're smarter than I thought, and yes, our real target is indeed the Ghost Thieves' channel for trading with the Silver Hand.
Now that I've talked about it, I'll just say it all.
In fact, the Ghost Thieves are what we propped up, and the Empire is unable to trade directly with the Silver Hand for some reason.
And the empire is extremely dependent on some things from the Silver Hand, so we secretly supported the Ghost Thieves and traded with the Silver Hand through them.
As a result, the Ghost Thieves made huge profits in the trade and grew rapidly, and then broke free from our control. ”
"So, this time's mission is to get rid of the ghost thieves, no, it should be said that it replaced the ghost thieves!" Karen enlightened.
"That's right, that's right, and the village of Dorai was built for this purpose!"
Speaking of this, Old Jack glanced at Karen: "Another thing I need to tell you is that the ghost thieves group was originally raised by our 'forest guards', and even the leader of the ghost thieves group is an important member of the 'forest guards'. ”
As soon as Old Jack's words came out, Karen's face changed, and he knew very well what Old Jack was trying to express at this time.
"Are you saying that because I am a forest keeper, it is destined that Dolai Village will not be given to me, and I will not be able to become a core member of this task?"
Old Jack nodded: "Yes, that's right!" Because of the mistake of the forest keeper in the matter of the 'ghost', this time he must make concessions, and this one that is about to take shape will definitely be handed over to the city of moon worship! ”
Karen asked, "What about me?" ”
"You?" Old Jack glanced at Karen with a little jealousy: "You don't have to worry about your future, your talent is very good, and you can grow to this point in just two months.
But we'll transfer you away once you're on track on Dorai's side, and the City of Moon Worship won't allow you to stay here! ”
Hearing this, Karen's eyes narrowed: "So, I have to leave Dorai Village?" ”
"Yes, that's right, no one can change that!"
