Chapter Seventy-Two: The Gray Robe

"Wait, don't make a move. ”

Alexei heard Lan Meng suddenly say this, he turned his right face slightly, the corner of his eye was on the side of the girl's body, and saw that her gaze was tightly locked on the robber who was digging the box, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

He didn't want to pay more attention, but Alexei realized that the emotion in Lan Meng's eyes was not pity, she didn't speak out of kindness, she was speaking for some purpose.

Interesting.

Alexey lowered his hand, wanting to hear what the girl had to say.

"I know them. ”

Blue Dream's eyes narrowed: "They are members of the Black Stork. ”

"Black stork?"

"Black stork. ”

Lan Meng pointed at himself: "Let me negotiate with them." We've been on the road for half a month, and you should be curious to know how Darune is doing. ”

"I see. ”

Alexei smiled and gave up half of his position, "Please, princess." I hope you can ask for some valuable news. ”

"It's not up to me to decide whether it's valuable or not. ”

Lan Meng frowned and said, "As long as your conditions are not too harsh, I can completely convince them to give you both carriages." ”

"Looks like you're pretty confident in yourself. Alexei laughed, "Getting a bunch of jackals to spit out the meat in their mouths on the ground, ha, it's quite a difficult challenge." Without Bursente as an intermediary, Princess, may you succeed. ”

The mage covered his chest and bowed, this was originally a courtesy to express respect, but judging from the current situation of the two sides, it made Lan Meng not feel any respect, but a kind of ridicule that was almost superficial.

She went away angrily.

Alexei saw her shouting at the robber who was splitting the box, and then gave her name.

The mage didn't lose his magic, he was always ready to kill the group of weaklings before the robbers hurt Blue Dream. Luckily, they still remembered Lan Meng, the semi-secret boss. During the conversation with the maiden, they turned their heads in the direction of Alexei, and then, as if there was some disagreement, one of them ran into the woods, after which all the robbers came out.

It doesn't seem to have been agreed.

He came closer, so he could hear the conversation.

The bandits apparently still have respect for Lan Meng, and it can be heard from their names alone, some of the robbers call the girl "Master Mage", and some simply call her "Lord". ”

Alexey was probably aware of Blue Dream's past status in the Black Stork. She uses the position of the other party to expand her influence on the gang through the artificial hallucinogenic leader Birsente, so that she can mobilize the gang's resources at any time to help her build the Olmeia Golem.

She seems to have taken a false name in the gang, and is neither a direct manager nor a leader in the front line. But in fact it played a pivotal role in the division of the black stork in Kherson.

Alexey only made a superficial inference, and it was completely certain that the scene where Burcente led the Black Stork out of Darune was the result of Blue Dream's work behind the scenes.

She's not the boss on the surface, but she's actually dominating everything about the gang.

This series of methods brought some convenience to Lan Meng's control of the gang, but when it really came to the time when she needed to directly control her subordinates, her words were a little useless.

Although the robbers still affirmed Lan Meng's status, they were not willing to give up their hard-earned gains for the sake of Lan Meng's few words.

Because even in a gang, it's not proper to do so.

"We can give you some, my lord. ”

This is the part that most of the ten robbers are willing to give up: "Give you the most valuable things in the car." ”

They plucked the locks on the chest, and when they opened it, it was full of copper, heavy, and in the darkness it smelled of coins, and when the wind blew, the rest of them, who were not determined, changed their tone: "We will give you a good horse, and fill your pockets with copper until you can no longer fit it." ”

The second box they pried open, the heavy wooden box, this time shining with a silver light full of stacked walls: "We have made a fortune!"

The ten robbers looked at each other and grabbed a handful of silver coins: "It's Adri." ”

Hundreds of Adri!

One of them took one out of it and threw it in his hand: "My lord, if it is the tail, we will fill your horse with silver, and if it is the tail, we will count a hundred for you from the inside, and fill the remaining empty space with copper." ”

Let the Holy Spirit decide where your wealth goes. The rest of the robbers shouted, "This is fair!"

But the anxious Lan Meng didn't want to play this game with them, which must be positive: "Could it be that your ten lives are worth dozens of ducats? I'm not intimidating you, don't let greed blind your eyes." ”

"Are you threatening us?" said one of the robbers, pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword, "We are not afraid of death!"

"But she's a mage. In the crowd, someone whispered, "Did we beat her?"

Their tone softened again, and someone said to Lan Meng: "My lord, as soon as you come up, you want to take away all our gains, so that the brothers will not be convinced." ”

"Give you half, and two carriages give you one. ”

"And a hundred Adri and half a box of copper. ”

"We also give you all the other goods. ”

That's it, and some people at the bottom began to coax: "Why can she share so much without doing anything?

"Before seeing a butcher's knife, no one wants to give away their flesh and bones for nothing. ”

Alexei put one hand on the girl's shoulder and smiled at the ten robbers, "Am I right? ”

"Who are you?"

Someone was gearing up: "Tie him up and sell him to the blue coat." ”

Suddenly, someone said, "Is he also a mage?"

At this moment, the sound of the crowd stopped abruptly, and they looked at each other and fell silent.

"Mage, is it very powerful, can it be better than the gray robe in the blue coat?"

In the silence, someone suddenly spoke up and shouted at Alexey, "You two are amazing, do you dare to go back to Darune with us and fight with the gray robe?"

"Grey robe?"

Alexey asked with interest, "Who is he?"

"A blue-clad helper. ”

"Legend has it that he is better than a mage. ”

"Don't say it, I've seen the grey robe. It was as easy for him to kill as he was to kill a chick, so fast that I couldn't even see a shadow, and Murby was dead. ”

"Do you dare to fight the gray robe?

The crowd shouted again, and all of them shouted in unison to Alexei, "Do you dare?"

"To Darune!"

"To Darune!"

Their voices rose higher and higher, until Lan Meng's face sank into the crowd and pushed the two robbers standing at the front to the ground: "Stop arguing!"

"Please, give me a little more time. She turned her head and whispered to Alexey, "I'll convince them, please......."
