Chapter 198: Decision
"Hmm. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Bao nodded, and said in a low voice: "Bilink's father's title was bought, he hates others to use this to talk about things the most, but that group of nobles has sinister intentions, and Birink belongs to the kind of hot-blooded people..."
Richard was stunned, this guy is quite righteous, one person carries dozens of people to toast, and it is not bad if he doesn't drink to death.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Bao closed his eyes in pain, and scenes flashed in his mind, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
He comes from a middle-class family, and the family business involves many magical fields, and Bao boasts that he is doing well in Bekaa City, and he is quite proud of it to this day.
But until today, I came to Bison College and faced those real bigwigs in the ironclad city of Scar... The Golden Serpent family, Viscount Ouhua, Aaron, the son of the lord of the city, Dachel, and Bao realized how small they really were.
After all, he is not as strong as a man, so Krum can put his foot on his face and speak!
Thinking of his actions, Bao laughed to himself. He was angry at the banquet and didn't dare to speak, so he could only salivate and smile everywhere, holding a wine glass filled with fiery red wine, enduring the bitter and spicy taste, and pouring it into his mouth strongly. Every change in taste made his emotions seem to be boiling and burning.
It's a pity that Bao is a qualified nobleman who knows how to hide his feelings.
It wasn't until the son of the little baron, Billinck, stood up stupidly, swallowed the glass that had snatched Bao's glass, and howled in a thick voice, that Bao came to his senses.
He drank cup after cup... Drink until you vomit, drink until your eyes are red, and drink until you are unconscious; So Bao and the others escaped.
But this time because Aaron was there, Krum didn't do it. But next time? What about next time? Can you survive three years?
Bao is very soberly aware that he can't! Sooner or later, they will have to give up more than half of their resources, either turn to Aaron and compromise with Krum.
He looked at Richard pleadingly, only this Stigmata Master with unlimited potential and an eighth-level archmage as a follower could help them.
Bao clenched his fists and opened his mouth silently, but he couldn't say the words in his mouth. He has always been a nobleman, and he is not willing to bow his head casually, otherwise he would have agreed to Krum's request a long time ago.
Richard's face was expressionless, he knew what Bao was thinking, but he wouldn't easily agree.
The eighth-level magician is certainly worth scrutiny, and I believe that Krum is also very willing to cooperate with him without violating the river water, but that is limited to Richard alone.
If you add Ba'o and them, the weight of an eighth-level mage is evenly divided, and there is not much left at all, and Krum can't guarantee that he will change his mind.
From a rational point of view, Richard should reject Bao. But he sighed in his heart, the reason why people are called people is because of human nature.
For the next three years, these people were his roommates, and Richard was willing to help them out of emotion.
But this does not mean that Richard will give Bao and others a cheap favor.
If they bent their heads and made a solemn request, Richard would have accepted it with solemnity. He has a deeper consideration, if he accepts these people as followers, it will not be a loss...
Bao's face flashed with hesitation and struggle, and it was difficult to choose.
Richard's expression gradually cooled, he was not a saint, and if the other party couldn't even make a request, he would never be overflowing with sympathy. As for followers looking for others, it's the same, even if there are a few civilians on the street, there is no problem with the talent of buying in a big QB mall.
He was ready to walk away, sincerity was relative, he didn't want to befriend a hypocritical aristocrat.
Bao's eyes were bloodshot, and his head slowly lowered...
But at this moment, a figure came out and knelt on the ground!
Richard was stunned.
Billinke, who was drunk like a dead dog, came to his senses at some point, and he knelt on the ground with his five bodies, his shoulders trembling, and his ten fingers clutching the carpet fiercely.
Billink was a dignified five-foot man, and when he looked up, his eyes were red like a beast.
The wine caused his tears and snot to flow down his face, and he said in a trembling cry: "I... I'm not convinced! β
His teeth were biting his lip, blood was spilling out, his eyes were full of madness, and he said hysterically, "I'm going to make that bastard Krum apologize, apologize to my father!" β
"What about the Baron? What about the gold coins? He's not something Krum's bastard can taunt! β
Birink was incoherent with excitement, and he let out a roar, and then lost his strength in a daze.
"With my talent and family background, I may not be able to do anything with Krum in my life."
Richard frowned, he said it cruelly, but it was the truth. The strength of the Golden Thread Serpent family will never be comparable to that of a small lifelong baron.
"But you're not the same, you're not the same! Lord Richard! β
Billink shook drunkenly, his consciousness was in a blurred state, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Richard, as long as you can make that bastard Krum apologize to my father, Billinck's rotten life will be yours in the future!" β
Richard was an orphan who never had any idea of his parents, except that they threw himself on the street and were picked up by another ruthless woman.
He was silent for a while, and then sighed leisurely: "You are a Stigmata Master, as long as you swallow your breath, your future achievements will definitely not be low." My father was insulted twice, can't I just endure it? Is this really that important? β
He didn't understand why Billink was so crazy. Just for an apology and putting your whole life in someone else's hands? Immature.
Unexpectedly, Billink laughed wildly, tears of laughter flowed: "You don't know, Krum's guy laughed at him for being just a mercenary, just a down-and-out mercenary with a noble hat." But so what? What about mercenaries? Isn't it something to be proud of fighting with blood with your own hands, cutting off the heads of demonic beasts, and breaking through layer after layer of world towers? β
"My father was a mercenary, a strong and brave mercenary!"
Billin slammed his head on the ground, rubbing his face hard against it, his hands as if he were about to crumple the carpet into pieces.
"But do you know why my father would want to abandon mercenaries and become a bullshit baron for life?"
Richard shook his head.
Perhaps Bilink didn't need his answer at all, just a qualified listener. His tone was like a dream: "Because... A phrase I said when I was five years old. I still remember it very well. β
Billink pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "At that time, I asked him where my mother had gone. He said dead, dead in the Tower of the World. I asked him again, is it okay to stop being a mercenary? β
A teardrop the size of a bean fell from Billinck's rugged face," the old bastard smiled disapprovingly, and left the mercenary group the next day to buy a bullshit aristocratic title. β
"At that time, I was very happy, that old bastard accompanied me every day to practice fighting qi and practice swordsmanship..."Billink paused, and his expression sank: "It wasn't until his former partner in the mercenary group came to the door again and again, kept begging him to go back, and was repeatedly rejected by that old bastard, but he wiped the rusty iron sword from time to time at night, and his eyes shone hotter than fire, that I realized that the old guy's heart was actually all on the mercenary." β
"However, mercenaries hate cowards who run away from battle, and I don't know how much gossip I have heard about the old bastards as worthless."
Billink smiled sadly: "They don't know that Daddy quit the mercenary because of me." β
"Thankfully, I became a Stigmata."
His eyes were blazing: "In three years, I will form a mercenary group, let the old man get back and swing that tattered iron sword without any scruples." β
Birink gritted his teeth and said with blood in his words: "Until then, I will not allow anyone to insult him." β
He looked at Richard expectantly, like a traveler wandering through the darkness, trying to grasp the glimmer of light. "As long as you can promise me to make Krum apologize to the old bastard, and in the future, a mercenary group will be formed and let him join... Well, my Biglink's rotten life is yours! β
Richard closed his eyelids slightly, and Billink held his breath and didn't dare to gasp, looking at him nervously.
After a while, Richard smiled, took out the follower contract originally prepared for the old man of fire from his arms, and threw it in front of him: "I need to be loyal enough. β
Birink was stunned, and then his face showed ecstasy, and without hesitation, he tore open the scroll and dripped blood, and two miniature magic arrays lit up on the soles of the feet of both sides, and immediately disappeared into the body.
Richard patted him on the shoulder: "I'll make Krum pay the price." β
Billinck's face was pale, and the big stone in his heart was put down, and he fell to the ground and fainted.
Richard helplessly helped his forehead, worthy of being the son of a mercenary, dare to love and hate, although his behavior was a little naΓ―ve, but fortunately Billink met Richard.
He didn't like to owe anyone anything, and since Billink wanted to be his follower, Richard would give him the power to do so. For items in the Great QB Mall, one will be left for Billinck.
With this guy's beginning, Bao and Kaido were no longer entangled, and Bao said directly: "Boss, you help us block Krum, and we will follow you in the future." β
His expression was very sincere, and Richard bowed his head slightly, and he protected Billinck, plus a few more things that were similar.
Connie on the side raised her hand weakly: "Richard... What about me? β
Richard snorted: "There is a price to pay for taking refuge in me, and you will act on my orders within three years." Of course, the benefits are yours. β
Connie nodded, clearly not taking the 'price' seriously.
Everyone shouted one after another, and the atmosphere between each other eased a lot, and they were not so angry.
Richard asked Kaido to take Billink back to his room, and he used the healing spell on him, and the guy's pale face was more bloody.
Afterwards, everyone opened up the conversation box and chatted for a while, discussing how to deal with Krum tomorrow.
Richard didn't want to hide his strength anymore, and the arrogant woman of Maisel said that she would keep Richard safe and sound during her three years at Bethon College. Although I don't know what this woman's intentions are, Richard's strength is too weak, even if the other party wants to harm him, there is nothing he can do.
