Chapter 70: Persuasion
"Mr. ......"
The round-faced and stocky Moore could no longer remain calm, and stood up a little crampedly. A little rain was dotted on the glass of the duty room, and the scene outside looked a little blurry. But Moore didn't doubt his eyes in the slightest, and the gold card posted on the glass clearly said Corliss Rom, vice president of the position!
Of course, Collis understood that now was a good time to take down the other party in one fell swoop, so he didn't give Moore time to think at all, and immediately said coldly: "Employee Moore, we are now facing a major matter related to the life and death of the entire Cariton, please fully cooperate with us!"
After listening to Colis's words, Moore scratched his head tangled and said with an embarrassed expression, "Vice President, I can understand your feelings...... But the order I received was to take care of the ice ladder, close the leyline corridor, and let you in even if I left my post without permission......"
Collis looked at Moore, who looked embarrassed, and said gloomily: "You work in civilian clothes, are you doing your duty?!"
Moore's body suddenly stiffened!
"Mr. Moore," the other man was still hesitating, and Titch was anxious, and hurried up to help, "Don't you have a family living in Carryton?
Moore hesitantly replied, "I have a daughter who just turned five......"
"If my daughter had just turned five, I think she would have been happy to tell her companions how her father was a hero who saved the city," said Corlis. ”
Moore's expression became even more entangled.
In extraordinary times, the best thing a little person can do is to be faithful and not think about anything. Corliss could understand Moore's thoughts, as long as he put the two of them in, it would be equivalent to him guaranteeing the safety of the two of them in disguise, but this was what Moore was most worried about.
If it had been a simple big hunt, Moore would have been an excellent, qualified employee. But how can everything go well in this world, who would have thought that Carriton's fate would be in the hands of these usually insignificant little people at this moment.
"Mr. Moore, do you think this is good," Tiqi was unwilling to let all the efforts of the four of them be in vain, and immediately gave a new method, "You come and escort us down and send us to the elder, so that even if we have bad intentions, you can make up for your mistakes!"
After listening to Titch's words, Moore lowered his head and rubbed his hands nervously in the duty room, but still did not activate the ice ladder.
"Mr. Moore, you ......" The other party was so oily and salty, Titch was angry for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"If you're worried that we'll kill you after entering the leyline corridor, then call two more people to watch over us, there's no need for a mother-in-law here!" At a glance, I could see through the reason for Moore's hesitation.
"The vice president may not know," Moore was hesitant, but he was still quite tactful, and he kept using honorifics while blocking the two of Corlis.
"Since the hunting in the Demon Mist Forest began, the manpower of our leyline corridor has also been very tight, and now there are two people on duty on an ice ladder, one up and down. Even if I can take you into the leyline corridor, the person below will definitely not be allowed to go. ”
Collis and Titch looked at each other, both of them looking a little ugly.
Moore was right, even if he could leave his duty post, the people below would never be able to leave. Now is a special period, and those who want to enter the leyline corridor can ignore it, but those who want to go out can't be ignored.
"Then you are determined not to let go?!" Corliss didn't expect this middle-aged man who was wavering on the surface to be so determined, and he and Tiqi were almost worn out and didn't have any effect. Colis was resentful, but he couldn't blame him for his loyalty.
Moore raised his head and glanced cautiously at Corliss and Titch, and stopped to say something, his fingers twisted together and writhing uneasily, and Titch even felt that he might break his hand in the next second.
Corlis's angry face could not be concealed, and he scolded impatiently: "Say whatever you want quickly, don't waste time!"
Even if they hit a wall here with Moore, they still have to try somewhere else. There were six ice ladders in total, and they weren't enough to hang themselves from a single tree.
Moore was frightened by Colis's sudden increase in volume, and said a little aggrieved: "Vice President, you can at least explain what the hell is going on, and then let me make a judgment......
Corlis's forehead was bruised, this person was still hesitating!
Seeing that there was still a chance, Tiki hurriedly said: "We have obtained accurate information, Becrond is heading towards Carridon! This information must be sent to the chairman in time, so that he can gather all his strength to stop Becrond in the Demon Mist Forest! If this monster is allowed to enter Carriton, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Becquelde ?!!"
Moore exclaimed, his face changed wildly! He has been working in the leyline corridor since he was promoted to the fourth star, what kind of wind and waves have he never seen?! But this kind of legendary-level monster appeared on the outskirts of the Demon Mist Forest, and this kind of thing happened for the first time in the history of Cariton, how could this kind of thing not be shocking?!
Titch nodded affirmatively and added, "If you don't believe me, you can lie on the ground and listen carefully, you should still feel the vibration of Bekronde's underground actions here!"
Moore glanced at the two people in raincoats outside the window in disbelief, and hurriedly leaned down and leaned on the ground to listen!
Near the leyline corridor, the monsters had been cleaned up, and in the cold rain, Moore faintly heard an ominous roar.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
One sound, another sound, one after another, like the whispers of demons, lingered in my ears for a long time.
"Do you hear that?"
Collis looked at Moore lying on the floor of the duty room with a slightly ugly face, and asked out loud angrily. Before the grouping, he thought that his identity would be a powerful trump card, but now he has planted a heel, which is a bit difficult for anyone to accept.
Moore slowly got up from the ground, his eyes were blank, his expression was distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Did you hear that?!!"
After all, Colis is still a person who usually occupies a high position, and even if he is usually self-contained, he can't bear this Moore's repeated disrespect for him. At this time, he inevitably couldn't suppress his anger!
Tiki stood on the sidelines in the rain and stared at Moore uneasily, this was the last hole card for the two of them, and if Moore didn't let them in, the nearly twenty-minute negotiation would only be declared a failure. With those twenty minutes missing, Titch could only hope that the team of Wince and Joel succeeded.
Moore stood stunned, looking at the misty rain and gray white mist outside the window, and his heart was full of bad feelings. He took the initiative to choose to guard the door at this great opportunity to make contributions, and he wanted to mess around. He is already the father of a five-year-old girl, and he is long past the age of fighting with his life, and now he just wants to live in peace.
In his original plan, as soon as this incident passed, he would apply to quit the first echelon of the leyline corridor and go to the reserve force to find a job, and it would be better if he could find a civilian job with a decent salary. But it was at this time that the two restless people in front of him found him.
He has been working in the Dark Moon for so many years, and he has always taken steadiness as his code of conduct. But if you let these two people go today, you may have to make a funny mistake. Six ice ladders, some deserters slipped into the leyline corridor through one of the ice ladders of the Dark Moon, how could this kind of thing be good to hear? After the incident, the work of his own reserve force must be hopeless, maybe even the current job will be lost.
If it's just himself, he can still secretly let people in. But there was another person at the bottom of the ice ladder, which made it impossible for him to keep his secrets at all.
What to do? Moore pondered bitterly at the endless raindrops falling from the sky.
"Mr. Moore," Tich couldn't wait, they were here trying to convince people that Bernand wasn't going to stop waiting for them!
"What's your decision? We don't have time for a confrontation!"
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, Moore slapped something on the table that Titch couldn't see, and then said briefly, "Go up the ice ladder." ”
The anxiety in Titch's heart instantly turned into the ecstasy of success, and she excitedly said to Moore, "Thank you, Mr. Moore, if we can succeed, the people of Cariton will not forget your contribution!"
Collis, who had always been serious, also showed a comfortable smile, and despite the twists and turns of the process, he finally took the first step with difficulty.
Moore was in the duty room, a little bitter through the glass, and said, "Although I don't want my daughter to lose me as a father, I don't want to lose my daughter even more." I hope you two don't live up to my trust. ”
"Are you going down with us?" Collis suddenly remembered his offer and asked Moore.
"No need. Moore sat back in his chair in the duty room, and his voice became urn-like.
"There is no need. If you're really thinking about the people of Carriton, then I wish you success. If you want to escape into the leyline corridor, I can't stop you alone. ”
The ice ladder hadn't gone up yet, and Tiqi waited as he asked, "We're not very familiar with the situation inside the leyline corridor, maybe you can help us show us the way?" The faster we find the guild leader, the better our success rate will be." ”
Moore was obviously a very reliable man to be sent on duty at this time, and his actions just now showed it, and Titch wanted to woo him again.
