Chapter 6 Worthless Rewards
After Kadak took Charles and Artoria to his study and sat down, he kept looking at Charles, Charles's young appearance made him hard to believe that Charles's strength could help him solve his problems, but the guards lying in front of his palace gate made him unable to believe it.
"This gentleman, what you just did in front of the palace gate was a bit excessive." Kadak's tone was a little unkind, of course, anyone would be unhappy if someone picked his own guards in front of his palace.
However, after a long period of open and secret battles with other underground cities in the surrounding area, and intrigue with those subordinates in his own city who peeped at his status as the lord of the city, Kadak had already eliminated the fiery temper of the gray dwarves and became extremely tactful.
"Honorable Mr. Kadak, Lord of Red Rock Castle, and Charles the Contempt, I am very sorry for what happened before, and I apologize to you here. However, this is also the disrespect of your guards, I think I have some strength, so naturally I can't tolerate such rude behavior. ”
Hearing Charles's words, Kadak snorted softly and coldly, even if he skipped this matter.
Because Kadak naturally knows the temper of the guards under his command, the gray dwarf's personality is already hot, and it is even more different if he has the strength to be a soldier.
However, Kadak was willing to skip the matter and no longer pursue Charles's provocation of himself, only because Kadak took a fancy to Charles's ability.
One person picked dozens of silver soldiers and two golden captains in a row, and he was still unscathed, standing in front of the palace gate with an indifferent and fearless face waiting for his arrival, which made Kadak appreciate Charles's strength and ambition very much, and Charles's calm and indifferent response to himself also made Kadak a little confused about his depth, and did not dare to rashly challenge the other party.
Otherwise, if you don't have any skills, Kadak will definitely let the other party know what is called the fiery personality of the gray dwarf, and if you don't know your parents, it's just a small punishment. But people who don't have the strength can't do it alone to take on two squads of guards, so it's all nonsense.
However, Kadak glanced suspiciously at Charles and Artoria, who was sitting next to Charles, silent.
"Mr. Charles, I don't know how you two knew I was in trouble."
Charles smiled slightly, "Lord Kadak said that he was joking, when we were wandering around the city, we heard many times from the people in the city that there was a trace of the devil here, I don't believe that Mr. Kadak, you are not worried about the devil who appears on the edge of your city. ”
Kadak didn't answer, just looked at Charles indifferently, being able to lead a group of people to defend a city in the underground world, not to be captured by other underground cities, and not to be successfully countered by the group of people below, it can prove that this Mr. Kadak is not ordinary.
People who can survive in the fiercely competitive underground world have certain abilities, and those who can have a certain identity and power in this environment have extraordinary strength, whether it is on the fist or in the brain, those who have no ability have long become the dung of the underground world.
However, Charles didn't pay attention to the silent coercion of Kadak at all, because even if you are a city lord of a dungeon, you are only a city lord, and there is an imperial lord around him who almost unified the continent, not to mention that as a devil will be afraid of this thing, it is simply a joke.
Seeing Charles drinking the tea in his hand indifferently under his own oppression, Kadak knew that the person in front of him looked young, and if he underestimated him because of this, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
"Now that you already know that, Mr. Charles, what do you think about it?" Since it was useless, Kadak stopped doing useless work, withdrew his coercion, and looked at Charles with a smile.
"Naturally, I'm going to investigate, compared to Mr. Kadak, you're already prepared for this, although I don't know why the rumored devil appeared half a year ago, and Mr. Kadak, you didn't check it out." Charles said with a smile.
"Hmph." A trace of anger and helplessness flashed on Kadak's face, being able to rule a dungeon for so long, Kadak is naturally not a short-sighted person, he attaches great importance to any threat that appears around Chiyan City, but unfortunately the group of subordinates below him are not, they will only fight for power.
They were so greedy for the huge profits in Kadak's hands and the status and power that he ruled the whole city, so it could be said that as long as he wanted to do it, there would be people below who would jump out against it.
So when Kadak wanted to send a team to investigate, he was stopped by the people below, and the rumor of the devil's appearance has only been like this once in half a year, although Kadak was uneasy in his heart, he could only forcibly let go.
However, as more and more people have seen the devil's traces in the past few days, even the high-ranking gray dwarves who are fully engaged in the struggle for power know that something seems to be wrong.
But even when they agreed to send a team to investigate, the question arose again, how to configure the team for reconnaissance.
Why did you tell me to have one more, no, why don't you have one more, you are bullying me, okay, let's fight. And just like that, Kadak watched the group of fools below quarrel for a few more days.
If it weren't for the fact that the group of people were basically representatives of some big forces in the city, Kadak was worried that the strength of Chiyan City would be greatly damaged after killing them, otherwise Kadak would have done it a long time ago, and he would not have endured it for decades, but he was also worried that if this continued, other dwarves would be able to live for five hundred years, and he felt that he would be stupidly killed by this group of people if he lived to three hundred years.
So for the inquiry in Charles's tone, Kadak didn't say anything, just looked at Charles lightly and continued, Charles, who had investigated the situation of Red Rock City's forces, was very aware of Kadak's constraints, and continued to speak without caring about Kadak's silence.
"Since it is inconvenient for Mr. Kadak to send someone out to investigate, why don't you let me go."
Hearing what Charles said, the dwarf's marked thick eyebrows raised slightly, and he glanced at Charles in surprise, saying that except for the group of people who were completely seduced by the devil, even those who were evil and depraved in the eyes of ordinary people did not want to provoke anything related to the devil at all.
But he didn't expect that this Charles would take the initiative to ask to contact the devil, which made Kadak's heart a little puzzled. But he wisely did not ask, and what did Charles care about him.
Kadak felt that he was able to bring a surface human into the study to chat for so long, which was one of the few in the underworld, after all, the inhabitants of their underworld were not all, most of them had a deep hatred with the races of the surface world.
"And what do you want?" Although he didn't know why Charles took the initiative to take this matter, Kadak couldn't deny that Charles would indeed help him, so he had the intention of recruiting Charles, so he didn't hesitate to accept and asked Charles what he wanted.
"Thank you, Mr. Kadak, I'm just interested in the devil's trail because of something. As for the reward, I wonder if Mr. Kadak will be able to give us a map of the underworld, and some of the distribution of power in the surface world. Charles smiled and offered some compensation.
And hearing what Charles said, Kadak was slightly stunned, and then looked at Charles in surprise, not that Charles said that the reward was extremely heavy, but that it was too worthless.
