Chapter 225: Negotiations
Yang Hao and Edward in Salon's office were both stunned, what does this guy mean when he speaks in a commanding tone?
"Uh... My lord, what is the matter? Edward asked, apprehensively, already sensing that the trip was unusual.
When he came to the lava crypt a few times before, although the gray dwarves didn't want to see him, they were generally polite and entertained with good food and drink.
This time, he was reprimanded as soon as he arrived at the door, and he was about to be assigned a task when he entered the door, and Edward suddenly had a bad premonition, could it be that the gray dwarf couldn't use himself?
"It's a very easy task for you nobles, we don't have enough manpower here, you can help me capture some human slaves. Of course, I won't let you do it in vain, five fine-grade swords for one person. Sharon smiled at the corners of his mouth, and his tone was gentle.
"My lord, this doesn't seem to be good, we Truman are in the arms business, but we have never done slave trading! It's not that I don't want to, but I'm mainly afraid that I'll delay the adult's business, so..."
Salon, still smiling, but his tone gradually became cold, and he interrupted: "I don't want your explanation, 10, bring me at least 10 people, otherwise you know the consequences!" ”
Edward smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at Yang Hao.
"Oh, by the way, you brought your brother with you this time. That's good, the more friends we gray dwarves have with humans, the better, but we still need to be prepared. Sharon said as he flipped the switch hidden under the desk, and the bookshelves behind him creaked apart, revealing rows of shelves and a mysterious large box.
Edward stared at a small locket on the shelf, which contained the mother bloodworm that controlled his life and death.
Sure enough, as Edward said, similar boxes filled the shelves, and the number was definitely not less than 100.
If a box represents a down-and-out son of a family, then at least half of the noble families in Craigie City have been caught in the spies of the Grey Dwarves.
Saron opened the large rune-covered chest, took out a wriggling blood-colored flesh worm, and muttered, "Shhhh
Saron scraped a layer of white solids from the fleshworm's tail and placed it in a small box.
Seeing Ssalon coming slowly, Edward skillfully half-squatted down, and pulled Yang Hao's hand, signaling him to do the same.
Yang Hao didn't squirm either, he squatted down like Edward, and saw that the corners of Salon's mouth were hooked, obviously very satisfied.
"Young man, if you want to gain the friendship of the gray dwarves, you have to pay a small price, well, stretch out your right hand." Sharon looked at Yang Hao and said bewildermently.
Yang Hao knew that this guy was going to inflict a blood worm curse on himself, but this was expected, he had already prepared, and immediately decided to play a wave.
"Lord Saron, my brother became your friend for money, and what do I get?" Yang Hao's eyes showed extreme greed.
Yang Hao's greed did not arouse Salon's disgust, he knew that desire is the weakness of human nature, and mastering the weakness of the enemy is equivalent to mastering the life and death of the enemy.
The human beings under his control will be satisfied with their own desires at first, some are hungry for money like Edward, and some are deeply hated, of course, Saron is not a god, can not satisfy everyone's desires, and he has a balance in his heart, how much he needs to pay and how much he can get back must be estimated in advance, just like business cannot be lost.
So not every human who is brought into the lava crypt will come out alive.
Saron squinted his eyes and said, "What do you want?" Isn't money enough for you? ”
Yang Hao said disgustedly: "Money is just a boring stone, I am only interested in knowledge." ”
"You're a wizard!" Saron's voice immediately rose two degrees, and the crunch of metal clashing could be heard outside the study.
"It's a pity I'm not, I don't have the talent to be a wizard, but I think there must be a way for ordinary people to gain extraordinary power in ancient knowledge, and I'm willing to give everything for that!
So, is there a deal? Yang Hao stretched out his wrist and said.
"Young man, you give me a sense of danger, but I can see that your thirst for power is real, and I will give you strength, so... Deal! Sharon changed his previous neglect of Edward, and said solemnly, then slashed Yang Hao's wrist and smeared the eggs of the blood worm, and drew a mysterious rune in a few strokes, and the curse was completed.
"Your body is very strong, and developing in the direction of martial arts is the right way."
"Thanks for the reminder, but I still insist, as a sign of sincerity I will send 20 slaves next time, and if you want a gnoll, I can give you 100!" Yang Hao touched the wrist that had stopped the bleeding and said arrogantly.
"Haha, Geralt, you're a good friend, but I only need humans, after all, we need some brains to live." Saron tapped his skull and laughed.
"Come, take the two distinguished guests down to rest, and give this Mr. Geralt access to the first floor of the stacks."
The "creak" door was pushed open with a bang, and a team of well-armed gray dwarf warriors took the two away.
Saron looked at the direction of Yang Hao's departure and thought, frowned, and said to himself: "Not a simple young man, that armor should be made of the dragon skin of the poisonous fire dragon. ”
He clenched the box in his hand, drove away the inexplicable irritability in his heart, and returned to the table to continue to deal with affairs.
On the other side, Yang Hao and Edward were taken to the stone room on the upper floor, which seemed to be a residential area, densely packed with matchbox-like buildings.
After bringing the two to their room, the Grey Dwarf Captain left without saying a word, leaving the two warriors to guard the door.
The condition of the room is not bad, similar to the environment of a tavern, Yang Hao took out a bottle of white medicine from his backpack and drank it in one go.
"What are you drinking?" Edward asked anxiously, unsettling the change in the attitude of the gray dwarves before and after.
"White ghost elixir, it can stop the self-division of blood worm eggs."
"What's the use of that! You're still cursed, and that's in your plans?! Edward grunted a little broken.
"Yes, I have a way to lift the curse, but now is not the time, once the curse is lifted, the blood worm mother will most likely react, so I will suppress it first." Yang Hao calmly pulled Edward over and asked him to sit down.
Cute Dehua looked even more excited, and said, "You have a way to get rid of it, why don't you help me, what are you doing in this ghost place?!" They're probably going to do it! ”
"Calm down, Edward, you are my friend, I will not harm you, my method is only suitable for witchers, if you use it, it may be worse than dying at the hands of blood worms." Yang Hao pressed Edward's shoulder and said.
"Edward, tell me about your experience every time you came here." Yang Hao said calmly and solemnly.
