Chapter 480: Preparations for the Trip (Part II)
The Tavern of the House of the Blue Sea is located on the pier, and in addition to the dwarves, there are sailors and merchants of many other races. Due to the low price of alcohol, this tavern is popular with both middle-class and low-class people.
Led by Queen Rhea, Green came to the door of a room on the second floor of the tavern and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a dress, as elegant as a housekeeper, opened the door.
"Miss." The butler man bowed slightly.
"Baster, I'm bringing with you, Mr. Dhara, Mr. Bandib Dobiruon, and Miss Mia Morasuna, Miss Dani Shelihong." Queen Rhea pointed to Green beside her.
"Hello, Mr. Darabon, Miss Mia." The butler nodded at Green.
"This is Buster, my butler and friend, and the treasurer of the Demon King's rebels." Queen Rhea pointed to the old butler and introduced him to Green.
"Hello, Mr. Buster, it's a pleasure to meet you." Green nodded to the old butler.
"Everyone, please come in." The old butler welcomed Green and his party into the room.
In the corner of the room, sat a half-elf swordsman who smelled of alcohol. The half-elf swordsman is bandaged, his tattered clothes are full of "non-mainstream" temperament, and he is holding a long knife and a wine jug in his arms, just like a "down-and-out samurai" in a movie story.
As if noticing Green's eyes, Queen Rhea took the initiative to introduce, "That's Ivalan, a powerful swordsman. ”
The swordsman in the corner lowered his head and looked like he was asleep, as if he had no intention of speaking.
"Hello." Green glanced at the people in the room, "So, these are our teammates who will go to the Flame Throne next?" ”
"That's right." Queen Rhea nodded, "But before that, there's one thing I'd like to hear from you. ”
"Please."
"We want to invite you to join us."
"Join you?" Green blinked, "You mean?" ”
"Demon Resistance." Queen Rhea paused, "We would like to invite you to join the Demon King's Rebellion and fight against the Demon King and his Demon Clan!" ”
Demon King Green: "......"
Girl, you have a lot of ideas! But I like your idea.
“…… If I join you, is there any benefit? Green asked.
Queen Rhea: "We're just a mutual aid organization. However, if you join us, you can share information with us. For example, some confidential information of the demon clan can be obtained from us. ”
Hearing Queen Rhea's words, Green was a little moved. Although in terms of intelligence, the demons are also doing it, and the military intelligence department has eyeliner in all countries, but those eyeliners can basically only be mixed at the bottom, and it is difficult to reach into the high-level of various countries. But Queen Rhea is different. As the former Queen of Northbod, Queen Rhea has a certain relationship with the high-level of various countries, has a wide range of contacts, and has a lot of relatives - although these so-called "relatives and friends" will not declare war on the demons because of this friendship, but if it is only some intelligence support, those so-called relatives and friends should still be willing to give.
Green has reason to believe that Queen Rhea must have information in her hands that she does not know. And his trip to the Flame Throne this time may have something to do with him - anyway, Green didn't believe that she really went to the Flame Throne just to build a weapon.
"Hmm...... It feels a little subtle. Green pretended to be reluctant, "So after joining, do I need to assume any responsibilities and obligations?" ”
Queen Rhea: "There are no special responsibilities and obligations. As long as you swear an oath that you are not compatible with the demons, it is enough. ”
Green showed a hint of suspicion on his face: "Just take an oath is enough?" Don't need to do anything else? ”
"Yes."
"Does that make sense?" Green felt a little puzzled, "And I don't think the oath is something to be trusted. ”
"We are a mutual aid organization. As long as we are willing to fight against the demons and be willing to be our companions, then it is enough. Queen Rhea looked at Green, "Would you like to be our companion?" ”
Although it sounded pretty good, Green felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Na~ Sister Shake Sauce, what do you think?" Green turned to ask for Chikage's opinion.
Chikage: "Just follow your heart." There is no need to grieve yourself. ”
"Follow ......your heart," Green frowned slightly, and then, with a slight smile on his face, "You're right. While it doesn't seem to hurt to be friends with you, I don't think I recognize you as my friend. So, sorry. ”
After Green finished his thoughts, the swordsman who was sleeping in the corner raised his head and looked in Green's direction.
"That's a pity." Queen Rhea smiled slightly, not angry at all, "Then let's discuss the next move." ”
"Oh?" Green raised his eyebrows and glanced suspiciously at the swordsman in the corner, "I thought that if I didn't agree, you would attack me in groups." ”
"Ha~ How is this possible." Queen Rhea smiled, "I told you we just wanted to be friends with you. ”
The swordsman in the corner stood up, looked at Grimm, and introduced himself, "I, Ivalan, swordsman. ”
Green looked at the swordsman staring at him and thought for a moment, "I, Dalabun Bandeb Dobiruon, a magician. ”
Hearing Green's name, the swordsman was silent for a while: "...... Magician, I look forward to having the opportunity to fight you in the future. ”
"Looks like Ivalan likes you." Queen Rhea said to Green.
"Yes. I didn't feel that he seemed to like me, but I did feel his fighting spirit. ”
"Alright. Now that we've all met, let's talk about tomorrow's itinerary. Queen Rhea took out a map and placed it on the table, "Tomorrow, we will enter the underworld, and the guide will meet us at the city gate tomorrow." The guide is only responsible for leading the way, and we have to prepare the rest ourselves. ”
Green looked at the map on the table.
This is a map of tunnels in the Underworld, with information on tunnels, villages, mushroom forests, and underground rivers.
"It's a pretty good map." Green couldn't help but praise.
"The underground world is huge, and we need to reach this underground river before we can get supplies." Queen Rhea pointed to an underground river on the map, "Judging by the distance, it will take at least three days. In other words, each of us needs to carry fresh water and food for at least three days. I hope each of you is well prepared! This is important. ”
Greene: "Understood. ”
……
…………
After a brief meeting, Green left the Bihai House Tavern.
In the tavern room, Queen Rhea stood in front of the window and watched Green leave, then turned to look at her colleagues: "What do you think of that warrior monk?" ”
Swordsman: "I want to fight him." ”
The old butler smiled slightly: "The kind of person who swears casually is not worthy of trust." He rejected our invitation, which shows that he has no evil thoughts about us and is worthy of our courtship. ”
Queen Rhea nodded: "I know this. What I want to ask is, how much of a resource is he worth our investment in? ”
"Being able to win against you, Miss, shows that his strength is not far from the master." The old butler smiled, "I think a young man who is about to step into the golden rank is more worthy of wooing than those masters who have been famous for a long time. After all, the masters who have been famous for a long time are well-informed, while the young ones are much more innocent. ”
Queen Rhea nodded, "Hmm...... I understand. ”
