Chapter 447: An Undercurrent Under Calm
Krees and Phyllis stayed with Ji Ran for a long time, and they didn't take their leave in a panic until the chiming clock inside Ironforge reminded them that it was night.
"We are members of the legation and have to report in the evening. We'll come back to you tomorrow if it's okay...... Anyway, the banquet will be three days later! ”
Before Krees and Phyllis left, they smiled and agreed with Ji Ran that they would continue to meet tomorrow and then take a tour around...... Anyway, when they need these entourages, they are still behind.
In fact, this Krees came in place of Solan, and the purpose was also for business exchanges...... As the larger alchemy shop in the Kingdom of Liberl, they and the dwarves have many goods to exchange with each other...... That even includes that wine.
Although the dwarves prefer spirits, they are not particularly averse to other varieties of liquor. Moreover, this wine also adds attributes...... There are also a large number of professionals among the dwarves, and there is a considerable army - this wine is much stronger for the dwarves than those alchemical potions!
What could be more wonderful than drinking the effects of those alchemical potions?
The wine with its attributes had already made a name for itself among the upper classes of Liber society as well as among the professionals, and it was only natural that it would be known to the Liber royal family. This time, with Krees, they were planning to use a rather weighty commodity as a weight - the other commodity dwarves might consider it, but if it was this wine, they would definitely just make a decision!
All in all, after the Dwarven King's banquet for the envoys, I'm afraid Krees will be busy.
The time of the great banquet was set for three days later. The reason is that the tired travel first allows the guests who come from afar to rest. This bad karma was quite satisfying to the envoys of the Kingdom of Libel...... The vast majority of them were coming to Ironforge for the first time. Naturally, I want to take a good look while there is nothing to do.
Of course. There are also some people who do not enjoy this treatment...... They are the ones who do the important work. But these people have nothing to do with Ji Ran, so they are ignored as a matter of course.
The next few days were quiet at Ironforge - well, not counting the banquets that would take place at any time.
After that time, the Order of the True God was completely silent. No one saw them again, and no one found any trace of the Order's activities...... By now, there are even people who are skeptical. Those true gods are not just passing by.
Even Ji Ran and the others were a little surprised...... Those True God Orders really just came to kill them? This doesn't make sense...... Rice has never exposed the power of the Golden Rank, why would the other party send a strong man who is obviously a Golden Intermediate Rank to deal with himself and the others?
Moreover, the other party did say that he was entrusted by someone...... Ji Ran believed that the guy would never disturb his mind with such words, so it showed that there were indeed people who had a grudge against him who came to their heads - the question is, how could they rush over so quickly!
Unless it's the headquarters of the Order of the True God, it's on the Dragon's Back Mountains, near Ironforge...... But if that were the case, they should have been discovered by the dwarves a long time ago.
If the dwarves were looking for something to explain, it would be a dig - not a description, but a fact. Even most of the time, they dig far more than three feet. In this case, such a large organization as the True God Order could be hidden in the Dragonspine Mountains. Then their concealment ability is really too strong.
This is unlikely, indicating that the True God Order is still here with a purpose. And the people who collude with them may also improvise for them to kill themselves and others - otherwise, this kind of exposure is really meaningless. Of course, maybe they think that there are gold-level powerhouses on their side, and they won't reveal their identities if they destroy Ji Ran......
The people of the True God Order are actually difficult to distinguish, they will wear that kind of dark red robe when they act, but they can easily blend in with ordinary people when they take off that robe...... This kind of search is difficult to do, and it is one of the biggest reasons why the Order of the True God has not been exterminated.
Not only the True God Order, but also the large number of people in Dunis are now too honest. The news from the dwarves who were spying on Dunis and the others was that most of them were staying in the hotel now, and they hardly went out except for business negotiations or something!
It's just so weird...... Although there was no evidence pointing to them, Ji Ran and the others felt that there was at least a ninety percent chance that they had recruited people from the True God Sect to attack them. There's no way, he and the others have no other enemies in Ironforge Castle...... They were the only ones who had a conflict with themselves and others.
And that Dunis is a guy who looks like he is going to take revenge, and revenge is a matter of course. And using the True God Order to borrow a knife to kill people is a pretty good method......
But their current appearance is a little too honest. Usually the door does not go out, and they stay in the room when the dwarves are having a big feast......
If they don't have a ghost in their hearts, who will believe it?
But in this way, the others have no way to deal with them...... You can't say it's wrong for them to stay in the hotel honestly, right? And Ji Ran felt that those guys must have known that someone was spying on them...... To be honest, the dwarves who Domorgan was looking for to spy on the inn were really not very professional......
In this case, Ji Ran and they couldn't do anything. And they've already promised to let go of this matter, so they haven't put more energy on it. Isn't it much better to have an old friend come and go shopping together to see the snow scene or something, than to think about these headaches?
If the True God Order really dares to come, the dwarves of Ironforge are not vegetarians...... To be able to establish a country with such a large place occupied by an alien race, how could a dwarf not have any strength at all?
It can even be said that every adult dwarf has at least the strength of the bronze rank...... Because their strength is really great. Of course, it is certainly not possible in terms of skill, but if you organize a militia, a dwarven militia can be formed in an instant. How could the largest city of this race be so easy to attack?
Maybe I'm worrying about it...... Ji Ran laughed at himself.
And they are happily wandering around here, and Dunis and the others over there are full of fire.
"Cousin, can't we really go out? Bringing it here all day is going to suffocate me! Dunis walked around the room, grumbling incessantly.
"To be honest, it's good to do less and make fewer mistakes now! Delayed things, do you think you can afford it? Don't worry, things will be done soon. And when that's done, we can get out of here...... You'll be relaxed then! ”
Scott looked out the window, still grim.
"Cousin...... I can't swallow that breath! By the way, you said that you also have a grudge against him? Great, he's our mutual enemy, let's find a way to get rid of them together...... By the way, bring those chicks back, and I'm going to let them know that I know how good I am......"
"Idiot!" Scott finally couldn't help it anymore and turned around and scolded Dunis.
"You can't use your brain! If we take revenge on those people now, we will be banished by the dwarves! When the time comes, what will happen to our affairs? If you can't finish this, you and I will be responsible! You know, Grandpa still values those guys very much, because they are so easy to use...... If you don't want to mess up this matter, just sit down honestly! ”
Dunis was stunned by Scott's yelling at him—no one of his contemporaries dared to yell at him like that. Although he has always had a good relationship with this cousin, his attitude towards himself has always been kind...... He actually spoke to himself today!
And Scott quickly noticed this, and immediately sighed and began to make amends for his excitement just now: "Dunis, you must understand that this family will be inherited by us in the future. You are the strongest genius in the family, and you will become a gold-level powerhouse in the future, or even a heaven-level powerhouse! You can't be planted in this kind of place, you can't be knocked down by those inexplicable reasons halfway through...... Those who take risks are one of the very uncertain factors! ”
Scott sat down in front of Dunis and looked at him earnestly.
"Your identity is different from theirs, and there is no need to put yourself in danger! When you become a stronger and stronger person in the future, you can take revenge as much as you want. And now, you need to focus on the big picture! ”
Dunis listened to Scott's words, although he didn't particularly agree, but after all, this cousin was the person in charge of this operation, and he also needed to listen to him, so he could only nod aggrievedly.
Scott could see Dunis's thoughts, but his face remained unmoved: "So, don't worry...... I hate that guy too, but now is not the time to seek revenge on them. Bear with me...... When things work out, the kind of adventurers who don't have a background and just have a little strength, we have too many ways to kill them......"
After pacifying Dunis, Scott went back to the window. There was no sky to see inside the Iron Forge, and except for those dwarves who were used to it, everyone else was inevitably a little depressed. And Scott's method of repression is to look out at the rock wall from the window.
Ji Ran ...... It's you...... Unexpectedly, you can already defeat a gold-level powerhouse...... But I believe that it was definitely a coincidence! I will not let the people who have insulted me continue to flaunt in front of my eyes...... I'm going to let you die! But, not now......"
Scott lowered his head, and in his hand, a dark red badge with one eye painted on it, was glowing slightly red. A moment later, Scott used a quill pen dipped in a strange dark red pigment and wrote a line on it.
"The action is about to begin, so be prepared." (To be continued......)
