Next to the cell was a large and spacious room, with a fireplace warming the room, a leather cord with an iron hook hanging from the ceiling, and a kerosene lamp hanging from the hook, which illuminated the large desk with a soft glow, providing a comfortable working environment for the two wardens. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wald placed his chair near the fireplace, his legs folded on his desk, the level 5 barbarian and level 4 war scourge priest was a strong orc, his head shaved bare, wearing only a leather shoulder, and his bare arms were tattooed with colorful tattoos, mostly Hextowe's prayers and emblems written in purgatory, mixed with a few malicious swear words like "I am a stupid pig", which Wald was at a loss to understand, because he could not read the purgatory text. I thought it was all part of the praise.

Sitting across a desk from Wald, a skinny demonic man named Lübeck, was originally a flower thief, but he was unlucky enough to be caught on a fun hunt, and the troublesome thing under his crotch was castrated, and he was stuffed into the hearth and burned his otherwise handsome face. Narrowly spared, half out of hatred and half out of pain, Lübeck took refuge in Grande and became a War-Plague Priest, using his newfound magic to kill the family and transform their bodies into undead creatures for his own drive. Because of his years of working with corpses, Lübeck always exuded a pungent smell of embalming potions, and an iron mask covered his burnt face, revealing only flickering eyes.

Lübeck was now looking at Wald's tattoos with great interest, especially the swear words that were interspersed in the prayers, a little prank of his own hand, and to his delight, Wald's ignorance of it, and the payment of a hundred gold coins for his tattoo service.

Then Wald stood up, lowered the oil lamp hanging from the ceiling, and twisted the wire spring on the outside of the lampshade, and the wick rose upwards, and the flame in the glass cover became brighter and brighter.

Walder sat back down, his heavy body creaking the wooden chair, as if it might fall apart at any moment. The orc didn't care about this, and took out a pearl necklace from his arms, and caressed it with the bright light, the pearl's round and beautiful luster, and the silky texture of the girl's skin, made him can't help but be overjoyed, grinning and giggling.

Lübeck was also intrigued, and leaned forward, gazing at the necklace in Wald's hand with a greedy and almost affectionate look, and it was not long before he could not help breaking the silence.

"Wald, Wald, my dear handsome sweet Wald, I love you more than my lover, why do you ignore me?"

"Fuck your Lübeck! You don't have a lover at all, and you can't have one in the future, because you're a poor eunuch! Quack quack! The orc let out a crude laugh and mocked his partner mercilessly.

Wald's eyes were as melancholy as a poet's, and his words were as beautiful and rhyme as a poem: "My dear Wald, I love you more than anything, and you have pierced my heart with a vicious insult, but to love a man is to love all of him, including his malice, so my dear Wald, should you give me the pearl necklace in your hand in return for my affection for you?" ”

"Come on, Lübeck, put away your hypocrisy! This pearl necklace was found from an unlucky ghost after a lot of hard work, you know? When he learned that he was going to be imprisoned for the crime of stealing booty, the first thing he did was to take off his pants and try to stuff this beautiful string of pearls into ** and hide it, I stopped his crime in time and executed him on the spot, not because he embezzled the booty, but because he dared to defile this string of beautiful jewelry! ”

"Wald, my dear darling, that's not right with you." Lübeck smiled slyly behind his mask, "Lord Grande issued a decree prohibiting people from hiding booty privately, and all treasures obtained from looting should be handed over to the public treasury, not to mention whether this decree is reasonable or not, just talking about your and my duties, since we have been appointed by Lord Grande as wardens to arrest and torture those who steal treasures, then the recovered treasures should be handed over to the public treasury in accordance with the regulations, but you steal them for yourself, isn't this a crime of self-theft?" ”

Wald glared at him, and said angrily: "Lübeck, you don't pretend to be high, you must know that Lord Grande has placed us in the position of warden, although he did not say it explicitly, in fact, he acquiesced that we could privately deduct a part of the stolen goods to supplement the salary, if we don't make good use of this convenience to earn extra money, then we are real fools!" ”

"Hehe, if I report your remarks to Lord Grande, I don't know how he will feel." Lübeck laughed sinisterly.

"Huh? Don't you kid want to mess around? Wald's face sank, "Every warden here is doing the same thing, and I have your handle in my hand, are you sure you want to go and snitch?" ”

"Praise be to our lord Hexto!" Lübeck kissed the emblem in an exaggerated gesture, "When a person devotes himself to a noble cause of faith, he is ashamed of his previous infidelity, and it is normal for him to make repentance at the expense of his personal interests in order to gain peace of mind." ”

"Don't tease Lübeck, I don't believe you're the kind of person who will repent." Wald's tone of voice showed that he was not so confident.

"My dear Wald, you'd better not challenge my loyalty to Lord Grande," Lübeck laughed sinisterly, "and to appease my conscience, I propose a little gamble, and if I win, you will give me the unseemly pearl necklace, and I will hand it over to the public treasury." ”

"Hmph, I don't believe you will hand it over to the public treasury, you kid is just changing the way to cheat the benefits from me, so what if you lose?"

"If I lose...... "How about I give you this garnet-encrusted silver dagger?" ”

"No, it's not fair!" Wald shook his head decisively, "My necklace is made of 20 pearls of the same size and color, worth at least 1,200 gold coins, and your dagger is only worth 500 gold coins at most, unless you add something, I won't bet with you." ”

For a gambler who is confident in winning, it doesn't matter if the other party asks for an extra weight, Lübeck took out a beautifully carved wand and placed it on the table, "This wand is made by me, it is full of 50 pious shields, worth at least 750 gold coins, and the dagger plus this wand is worth betting with you, how about it?" ”

The half-orc was immediately aroused by greed, and nodded briskly: "Okay! ”

Lübeck raised his hand and threw an ivory carved twenty-sided dice, which landed on the table and bounced a few times, and finally the upward side showed a small figure-five.

"Hah! My friend, you're not in good luck today! Wald frowned.

"Well, maybe this is providence, who knows? Wald, it's time for you to roll the dice, I still have a chance to live, don't I? Lübeck shrugged gloomily.

"You'd better die early, I'll never throw a point smaller than 5!" Wald picked up the dice, held them in his palm, blew them, and threw them out with confidence, and the little thing bounced on the table a few times, and finally stopped moving, showing the number ...... 3！

"Oh~ It's not true!" The orcs held their heads in their hands, frustrated.

"Fate is impermanent, my friend, luck is on my side today." Lübeck laughed and tapped his knuckles on the table, urging Wald to pay the bet.

The orc clutched the pearl necklace and reluctantly let go, rolling his eyes constantly, trying to find an excuse to avoid the gambling contract.

At this moment, the sound of torture next door suddenly disappeared, revealing an unusual silence. In the past, Wald would not have cared about such a trivial matter, but today he was happy to use this as an excuse to show his devotion to his duties, and said: "Don't make trouble with Lübeck! The situation next door is not right, I'll go over and take a look first, and you should also be ready to fight in case of accidents. With that, he jumped up and rushed out the door.

"Damn Wald, don't you want to pay your bills!" Lübeck was so angry that he cursed and jumped to his feet, grabbed his dagger and wand and chased after him. (To be continued.) )
