Chapter 21: The Assessment of the House of Thieves
"There is still such a lord?" The stone couldn't help but sigh that the world is really wonderful!
As soon as Lord Crolin and his heroes left, the troops left behind were not only demoralized, but also weakened! And then there's ...... Massacre, almost slaughter! Revolt? With such a lord, does it still make sense to rebel? Run away? Surrounded by the dungeon troops and the troops of Gandru, it was also a luxury......
Although the stone sympathized with them, he had no intention of letting them go. Stone has always believed that in this chaotic world, there are times when it is a blessing to be freed early.
At the end of the battle, it was dusk, and the battlefield was lit up with earthy yellow magical light, and it was the heroes of the dungeon who were performing the magic of "reincarnation and rebirth". Seeing the troops who had died on the battlefield get back on their feet, little stars almost popped up in the barbarians' eyes, and their faces were full of naked envy and jealousy.
"I really envy your dungeons, there is such a good magic!" Gandrew said as he walked over to the stone, with a smile on his face.
Stone looked back, "What's this?" I also envy the powerful attack power of you barbarians! ”
"Attack power...... Belch! Heroes have advanced! Or two! Gandru said suddenly, pointing to the battlefield.
The stone looked back in the direction it was pointing, and there it ...... One of the colorful chains is the leader of Vito, and the other is the fangs recommended by Poison Mo!
As his power grows, the number of heroes under Stone is already somewhat stretched, but Stone does not advocate recruiting wandering heroes. thinks that they lack a sense of belonging, so the stone has always adhered to the principle of preferring lack to excess, anyway, there will definitely be more and more heroes who will advance in the future. That's not two more!
"I'm going to envy you to death! All the good things are taken up by you! ”
"What's a good thing? It's right that you take advantage of the good things! Once Lord Crolin is defeated, not only will your own territory be recovered, but Croling's territory will also be at your fingertips! I want to congratulate you in advance, Lord Gandru, you will soon be the lord of ten cities! ”
Gandru was obviously very proud of the stone's words, but when she saw the stone's hippie smile, she immediately pretended to be annoyed. "Good you stone! Even I dare to flirt? ”
"How dare you! I'm telling the truth! ”
"Humph!"
……
Stone and Gandru talked. His eyes were on the leader of Vito, who had just become a hero, and he ran to the leader of Romon and danced and spoke. The two didn't quarrel? When the stone looked over a moment later, the two of them were already blowing their beards and glaring, and they saw that a hand-to-hand fight was about to begin. Hum. As I expected, I guess!
The stone turned back. "Master Gandru. When they're done, let's get on our way! You should be in the city of Gusis tomorrow morning! ”
……
The expected siege did not take place, and Lord Crolin abandoned the city. For the next half month, he was basically on the move, but Gandrew finally regained his territory.
"Recruitment?"
"No money!"
"What about the money you lent?"
"They haven't paid it back yet!"
"When will it be returned?"
"They didn't say it, and I wasn't too embarrassed to ask!"
"......," the stone was half angry, "then let's continue to borrow from the Thieves' House!" ”
Two days later, the council hall.
"Borrowing money? Then please pay back the money you borrowed last time! …… What the? Keep borrowing? No way! Absolutely not! "It's still the orc hero from last time, and he didn't give face at all because of Gandru's victory.
Shi Shi was helpless, and said patiently: "Lord Gandru has now defeated Lord Croin, and he will soon be the lord of ten cities!" By then, will the borrowed money still be repaid? At that time, there were many people who wanted to borrow money! ”
"Hey...... If you want to say others, I believe it, but Master Gandru, I won't believe it if you kill me! ”
"Why!"
"What a good man!"
Gandru's face turned red and black.
As if he didn't see the two of them angry, the orc continued: "Actually, it's not impossible to borrow money! As long as the Stone Lord ...... You give me a guarantee! No matter how much, I'll borrow! ”
"Are you sowing discord?"
"Absolutely nothing! Actually, in our House of Thieves, there is an assessment of every lord, the Stone Lord...... You are superlative! At this point, the Dragon Queen is not as good as you! So, as long as your needs, we will definitely meet them! ”
"Cut! The dragon queen is not as good as me, so you just talk nonsense! ”
"It's not just about strength, it's about a lot of other things. Just like the Dragon Queen, her personality and position determine that she will always be on the cusp! At this point, you who are backed by strong strength and don't like to be in the limelight are far more reliable than her! ”
"Alright! I accept your compliments! That...... Mistress Gandru! What rank is she? How much gold can I borrow from you! ”
"She! It's the lowest! Don't borrow a single gold coin! ”
Gandru's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"If you can't give a reason, I'm afraid it's hard for you to get out of this door today!" Stone glanced at Gandru and said.
"Don't be motivated, abuse good people! Lent out most of your earnings! ”
"Do you know you're going to get beaten up for telling the truth?"
"Who dares to hit me? I am the face of the House of Thieves, and I will wait to bear the wrath of the whole House of Thieves! "The stinky appearance of the orc hurts the roots of the stone and the root of the tooth.
The stone slapped him to the ground with a slap, and his completely stunned face came into view again, and he asked in disbelief, "Lord Stone!" You...... Why hit me? ”
"The reputation of the House of Thieves is about to be ruined by you!"
“……”
"Leave a million gold coins and go! After a while, Master Gandrew will make a move, and it won't be that simple! ”
"Thank you, Stone-sama!" The half-orc hero left in a hurry after leaving a pile of gold coins on the ground.
There was silence in the room, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and the stone was about to find an opportunity to leave, and Gandrew said quietly: "I didn't expect everyone to look at me like this!" There was a bitterness on her face.
Stone didn't know what to say to comfort her, and the council hall fell silent.
Ghandru's army grew again, and when everything was ready, he was about to attack Croin's territory when Lord Crolin actually ran to the city of Gusis.
"What? Peace? ”
Looking at Lord Croin, although he couldn't believe it, there should still be etiquette, and after welcoming him into the council hall, the stone couldn't help but ask: "Lord Croin, you actually dare to come to the peace talks alone, aren't you afraid that Lord Gandrew will be beheaded?"
