Chapter 7: Goblins in Human Skin
Thinking of the farce half an hour ago, Lothar's expression was extremely unnatural.
At this time, Lothar, accompanied by Khadgar and Ren Fan, was chatting and laughing with the fat baron.
Or rather, one-sided talk and laughter.
The humans of Azeroth seem to be just as fond of solving problems at the wine table as their counterparts. Unfortunately, however, the baron did not seem to know that the premise of solving the problem at the wine table was ......
At least the food and drinks have to be passable!
Smashing the sour wine syrup, Ren Fan couldn't help grinning. He liked to drink in his previous life, but he really didn't have any interest in the cup in front of him.
However, the fat baron didn't seem to know this, and instead took Lothar's hand proudly, but the other party's face had already turned into a chrysanthemum, and he had to make this cup.
After drinking this cup, there are three more cups......
Looking at Lothar, who had a difficult expression like swallowing medicine, Ren Fan couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, then picked up the wine glass, and said to the fat baron with some reluctance:
"Your Excellency, I would like to give you a drink. This time, we rushed to your territory, please forgive me for the disturbance. If there's anything you can do, Sir Lothar wouldn't mind helping me, am I right, Sir Lothar? ”
Lothar breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ren Fan's eyes a lot softer. And he didn't refute Ren Fan's words. These are all just humble words, who is Lothar? and the existence of the Storm Kingdom to call the boss a brother! To your little place in the middle of nowhere is to lift you up! If you are in a good mood, you will be merciful and compassionate! If you're in a bad mood, you have to endure it!
When ordinary people heard this, they naturally hurriedly said two words that they didn't dare to be, and they didn't dare to be, Jazz was already full of brilliance so far, how could they dare to talk nonsense like that. But this pair of master and servant seems to be a little unusual. I saw that the master and servant looked at each other, and the joy on their faces was not even hidden.
"Well, Lord Lothar. You also know that our small place is poor and remote, and we really can't find any decent place to rest for the army......" The fat baron said with a hint of pretense reserve, "But Lord Lothar's affairs, I naturally dare not neglect it. So, I'm going to let the soldiers live in my home. ”
Lothar frowned slightly, he didn't know what the guy in front of him was trying to say. Without making a sound, he just looked at each other quietly, with a hint of coldness in his expression. As a warrior, and the king of warriors, the inadvertent release of momentum is not something that such a fat pig-like baron can withstand. For a moment, the baron's body was trembling, cold sweat flowed like money, and even his voice trembled.
But he still said what he said:
"So...... Lothar ...... Big big people...... Can you give some money as a ...... Dangdangdang...... As rent? ”
Lothar was stunned, and forgot about the breath for a while. For a moment, the fat baron breathed the air greedily like a drowning man who had just climbed ashore. For a long time, Lothar laughed and said with a cheerful face: "It's okay, it's a small thing, it's just a small thing!" How many coins do you think is appropriate? ”
"One day...... How about a gold coin? The fat baron said and casually looked at the short man behind him, and when he saw the other party's eyebrows, he immediately changed his words and said: "Two gold coins, all board and lodging!" What do you think! ”
Two gold coins, this price is not low at all. Frowning slightly, Lothar said with some displeasure: "Two gold coins per soldier? ”
"How is this possible, everyone knows that I am a sincere person! All of you add up to two gold coins! The fat baron said loudly: "Two gold coins, this is the price of conscience!" Everyone knows that the conditions of the Baron's Mansion are the best in Ximu Village! Even the Viscount Mansion in Konoha Village can't compare! ”
"Okay, okay, I agreed." Lothar seemed to be refreshed by the fat man in front of him, he waved his hand, fumbled in his pocket, and then moved a little stiffly. Withdrawing his palm casually, he looked at Ren Fan very casually, and then said, "Mr. Ren Fan......"
'Well, this bastard didn't bring any money!' Ren Fan pulled out a gold coin from his small money bag with a painful face, and then scattered a large number of silver and copper coins. After hesitating for a moment, Ren Fan smashed the large pile of coins on the table, sighed slightly, and couldn't help but turn his head and not look at it.
"Baron, you need to take an inventory." Lothar said with an embarrassed expression.
"How could Lord Lothar lie to us!" The fat baron said with a smile as he peeked at the servant behind him counting the money little by little. For a moment, the five of them didn't know what to say, and all that was left in the room was the clanging sound of coins clattering.
"Well, that, we have to go tomorrow, so we won't bother too much." Finally waiting for the short servant to be counted, Lothar hurriedly stood up and bowed his resignation to the baron. However, the fat man who had just made a big business didn't seem to be very willing to let go of these fat sheep. As soon as he heard this, he immediately stood up and cordially withheld:
"Sir Lothar, don't you taste the brown bread that comes out of the bakery below? Trust me, that's definitely the best brown bread you'll ever taste! ”
"Uh, no, no, no......"
"Sir Lothar, don't you have some dry rations for the soldiers? We had freshly made rice crackers and they tasted amazing! Would you like to try it first? ”
"Well, no, no, no......"
"Sir Lothar, would you be interested in looking at my ancestral sword? It's sharp, it's the best sword in our village! ”
"Well, I already have a weapon to take advantage of, no need for it......"
"That, this little brother ......" lobbied Lothar for a long time, but the fat baron did not get any results. Unwilling, he decided to shift his goal. Looking at the young Khadgar, the fat baron said with an expression that all men understand: "This little brother, there are a few young pretty widows in our village......"
"No, no, no need...... Khadgar looked embarrassed after hearing this, and hurriedly waved his hand: "That, I'm ...... I don't have this interest......"
"Could it be ......" The fat baron gasped immediately after hearing this, no wonder they all said that the people in the city could play. These guys' hobbies are actually ...... So exciting! Glancing at Khadgar with some disdain, the fat baron hurriedly turned around and said to Ren Fan:
"Sir, are you interested?"
Putting the big hood on his head, Ren Fan's voice suddenly became extremely cold: "Have you ever heard of a necromancer?" ”
The voice of Yin Measurement was like coming from the Nine Abyss, and the fat baron trembled violently, and then, he said cautiously:
"That, there is a forest behind the village, it is said that there are a few banshees in it, and they confuse the surrounding farmers by singing, I have seen the appearance, it is not bad, are you interested......"
Ren Fan didn't know how he got rid of this 'passionate' baron, returned to the residence, lying on the bed, Lothar moaned tiredly, feeling the hard touch behind him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, inexplicably, remembered the stupid baron again.
"If I'm not mistaken, the whole Headwind Trail is Medivan's fiefdom...... It seems that Medivan didn't look like a baron either......"
"Maybe it was a long time ago, you forgot." Khadgar said groggily. Exhausted and almost exhausted of all mana, the archmage's apprentice had no resistance to sleep. Almost as soon as the back of his head touched the pillow, a roaring snoring sound came out.
The room is not large, and for a while only the sound of snoring remains......
In the middle of the night, Lothar burst out laughing. As if muttering to himself, and as if he was talking to Ren Fan, he said in a pleasant tone: "You never think that fat man is very much like a thing?" ”
"Goblins?"
"That's right! I wonder if that guy is a goblin trade prince in disguise! ”
"Goblins in human skins, hahaha......"
