"Stop it, this is the end of the third game!"

Like a desolate mountain range, when Duke Midamoya stood on the gladiatorial arena, even the projection of the fire elemental realm that shone all over the audience shook inexplicably.

Out of full respect for his master, Moriarty waved his hand back to the red crystal gargoyle while gently bowing his head to the other. On the other side, Catherine barely suppressed her surprise, and walked to her father's side with her head bowed in both reluctance and disbelief.

"I declare that the winner of this contest is His Excellency Moriarty."

Without meaningless delay, the Werewolf Grand Duke directly announced the result, and for the first time, he put the word "Your Excellency" on the young man in front of him. And in this regard, even the most arrogant knight of Ronnie Xia Palace did not have the slightest grievance. After all, anyone who has mastered the field is fully qualified to gain the respect and respect of others, not to mention that the "Excellency" of Moriarty is far from being so simple.

"Thank you for your fair judgment, Lord Duke. Also, as a friend of Juniors and Margaret, please call me Moti. Moriarty nodded, smiling humbly and kindly.

"Good, Moty." The duke also smiled, and his attitude was much kinder than before.

"Then, the female war priestess, it's time to fulfill the gambling contract. Please give me that 'Pearl of Hydra'. I think that as the eldest daughter of the Duke and the noble shaman of the temple, she should keep her word. ”

Then, Moriarty turned directly to Catherine and said solemnly. However, the werewolf was just silent about this.

"Lord Duke?"

See here. Moriarty didn't want to be too long-winded with the other party, so he looked at the Duke of Midamoa as the "guarantor". For the honor of the family and the dignity of Krulrod, even if the Grand Duke is partial to his daughter, it is impossible for him to break his word in such a public occasion. Otherwise, it will not only be a severe blow to its own prestige, but also a rare tongue and handle to other political opponents, and even disgrace Wolfgang's "golden signboard".

"I don't need my father to speak, I'll give you the Pearl of Hydra." The female war priest is not a stupid person, so naturally it is impossible to let herself fall into an embarrassing passivity, and finally raised her head and said to Moriarty: "But I have one more condition. ”

"As a loser, you don't have the right to negotiate any conditions with me!" Moriarty immediately snorted coldly. The tone was unceremoniously.

"Well... All right. It's not a condition, it's a hope! In front of everyone's eyes, Catherine was choked and bit her lips and her eyes were red, but she still refused to give up: "I hope you can agree to make me a magic suit." I will also pay enough money and price for it. ”

"Judicial suit?" Moriarty looked at the werewolf. He looked calm. But it was as cold as ice: "Give me the 'Pearl of Hydra' first, and then talk about it." ”

"Good!" Gritting her teeth, Catherine took out the pink luster bead from her waist pouch and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you."

He nodded indifferently. Moriarty took the bead and examined it carefully for a moment before carefully putting it away. On the other side, the werewolf seemed to be reluctant to say anything, but at this time, Moriarty turned directly and walked towards the werewolf Grand Duke.

"Lord Duke, then follow our agreement. When I return to Erathia this time, I will send my skilled goblin craftsmen and some human technicians over and begin preparations for the copper mine as soon as possible. As for the local miners, laborers and guards, please bother. "With a three-and-a-half-percent stake, Moriarty can be said to have a huge harvest, and the copper copper ore can produce copper ingots one day earlier, which is a huge resource boost for Rheinberg.

"No problem, the location of the mine is relatively close to yours. If anyone on the human side notices it in the future and wants to stand up and stir up the situation, Moti, you have to take care of it more. ”

Now that they have officially become business partners, the Werewolf Grand Duke no longer keeps the information of the copper mine completely secret. Moreover, after the copper ore is produced, the construction of refineries, and even the direct purchase of weapons and equipment from Moriarty at the price of copper ingot raw materials will involve greater and deeper cooperation. Therefore, although it paid half more equity than the original plan, it still has half of the pros and cons, and it is not a complete loss.

"Okay, if it's a problem from Erathia's side, I'll take care of it."

Moriarty is also cheerful and promises to take on a fair amount of responsibility. And he does have such a confidence, as long as the war against demons can be won, at that time, not only Rhineberg, but even the entire Kent County aristocratic coalition can use this "war opportunity" to expand their strength and influence. In this way, I am afraid that the southeast corner of the human kingdom is the world of the nobles of Kent.

"Also, regarding the alchemy potion, it will also arrive on the same ship when the first goblin craftsmen arrive. After that, I will ship the rest of the goods in batches every quarter. Do you think that's okay? Moriarty continued.

"Good." Midamoa nodded in satisfaction.

"So, you've agreed to support one of my reinforced squadrons of wolf cavalry?"

"Rest assured, you'll see them assembled around your airship before you leave Belis." The Werewolf Grand Duke smiled indifferently, for him, dozens of groups of wolf horses were not enough, and they could be drawn in place at any time.

"Thank you very much." Moriarty bowed to the other again.

After leaving the arena, the Werewolf Grand Duke invited Moriarty to dine at the Stone Manor, where the main course was Krulrod's famous dish, "Rock Roasted Wild Donkey Meat".

Wild asses are cunning creatures that live deep in the hurricane wastelands, usually living in groups of ten, and are generally difficult to catch due to their stamina and vigilance. The rock-roasted wild ass is the "fresh donkey meat" directly cut from the live wild donkey on a rough roasting table made of whole shale polished, and the skin is broiled with blood, even without adding a little seasoning. When the grill is perfect, the thick gelatinous skin of the wild donkey meat melts into fat drips and coats the whole donkey meat, giving it a unique and wild aroma. Coupled with the "bayonet fierce" that is enough to make the cavity "explode", it is the most loved delicacy by the Beamon warriors.

And in this very Beamon-style banquet, it seems that they want to save some of the host's face, and Count Ronnie and several of his mid-level warriors came forward to toast or fight frequently at the beginning, intending to overturn the Moriarty people in the wine field. However, Guderian was right in this regard, and from beginning to end, he rushed to the front and fought alone against the Beamon drunkard, worthy of the "good name" of the first barrel of Olympus.

"Morty, what a monster you are! Monsters! ”

After a few cup exchanges, the atmosphere that was still a little chilly was completely warmed up. seems to have completely recognized the other party's identity as a strong man, and with wine as a friendly medium, Ronnie no longer has the previous indifference, but squeezes together with Moriarty, hooking shoulders.

"There are so many extremes in the world, and what is my little thing. Not to mention anything else, even your father, Grand Duke of Midamoa, I'm afraid it's not as simple as the high-level peak it seems, right? Although the dwarves were in front of him, Moriarty also drank a lot, and his face was inevitably hot, and his speech was much more straightforward than usual.

"Hey, Father, he... Naturally, it's not something I can evaluate..."Glancing at the other party, the knight of the summer palace finally nodded.

"Therefore, if you don't become a pole powerhouse, you won't even have the opportunity to deal cards at the table, and it's just empty talk." Moriarty smiled again, full of pride.

"That's right! What temple, senate, and great Junker, if it weren't for the extreme support behind them, who would be able to speak hard!? Aroused by the other party's smile, Ronnie also nodded again and again, feeling like a confidant.

"You are already a knight of the Summer Palace, and a few steps further will reach the rank of the Great Knight of the Town Kingdom. At that time, it will be the honor of the Extreme Dao, enough to be able to crisscross the continent, and there will be no taboos. Moriarty refills Ronnie with a glass of spirits and clinks with it.

"Hey! The Great Knight of the Town... Hey, hey..."There seemed to be something difficult to say, Ronnie just smiled with an unclear meaning, but couldn't say why.

"I said Moty, what the hell do you think about my sister? You tell me the truth, if you really have that mind, I will definitely help make it happen! Swallowing another cup of bayonet flames, Ronnie suddenly rehashed the old words.

"Mary, she..."

This time, it was Moriarty's turn to be speechless. The matter between Heryna and Matiel is far from being resolved, and how dare he involve Margaret again. But the werewolf's thoughts on him can be understood at a glance, and now Ronnie is still saying that if the Duke of Midamoa comes to inquire in person, Moriarty is only afraid that he will be "forced to die" on the spot.

"If you don't speak, I understand that there must be something difficult." Seeing that Moriarty did not squeak for a while, this time Ronnie did not get angry as before, but sighed lightly, and then lowered his voice and said: "But Morty, you must know that for the Junker women of Krulrod, their marriage is not free at all. Whether it was a tribal marriage, or as a concubine of a higher-ranking nobleman, Juncker, or even being named a 'maid in the inner sanctum by the temple' and not marrying for life, all of this may have left Mary with no choice. Are you going to watch her being ridden under the crotch by another male? Or a life of loneliness with the ghost lights in the depths of the temple? ”

"I... I don't want to..."

Finally, under the pressure of Ronnie Chiguoguo, Moriarty spit out the secret thoughts in his heart. At this moment, alcohol and male instinct tore apart the reason and will that were strictly guarded on weekdays, and the sentence "If she is happy, I will go away" also degenerated into a pale self-deception.

Man, it's really rare that it's not a monster whose strength and ambition grow at the same time.

The more you get, the more you crave, and the more you want.

"Brother Ronnie, don't push him again!"

Suddenly, Margaret's voice sounded behind the two of them, trembling, satisfied, and regretful. (To be continued......)
