Communicating with the spider tamers was a lot more cumbersome than Si Yu thought. Although it has fallen to the point of selling out his employer in exchange for a way to survive, it is another thing to really get the information he wants from the mouth of a professional mercenary. This is not to say that the other party is unwilling to answer Cheese's question, but the attitude of the spider tamer in answering the mage's question can even be said to be positive. Often, as soon as Cheese had just started his question, the little girl would tell the teacher the question he wanted to ask along with the answers.

However, these answers are obviously very disciplined, and if they can answer yes or no, the spider tamer will never say a word more. Even if the mage's question is so complex that it cannot be answered in simple terms of right or wrong, the other party's answer will be kept as short as possible, and the answer to the sensitive question will often be on the spot.

Cheese also noticed that while asking questions, the little girl also deliberately used her answers to direct the direction of the mage's inquiry away from her employer, and although verbal threats could be used to force the other party to bring the conversation back on track, such communication was undoubtedly extremely inefficient.

This conversation wears out Cheese's patience. And Lothar, who watched the whole conversation between the two, knew the problem very well.

"If you ask her that, it won't come to fruition tomorrow. The Count of Montenegro patted the mage on the shoulder and said.

"These mercenaries have no loyalty, but in order to save their lives, they can be much stricter than the best agents. ”

How to deal with mercenaries may be a difficult problem for Cheese who grew up in the Mage Tower. But for Lothar, who already knew everything about the battlefield at a young age, these vultures and hyenas chasing profit were familiar to him. In many cases, a nobleman could not afford to maintain an army, and in order to ensure the strength of his territory, mercenaries became their best choice. He did the same when Lothar had just taken over his territory.

In Lothar's knowledge, these mercenaries were sometimes the guards of the city, and sometimes they were good at escorting caravans. But more often than not, they are robbers, assassins, eyes and ears for stealing information. For the sake of profit, they can kill the previous employer without any scruples, and even kill each other. There was once a lord who hated mercenaries so much.

"The best way to deal with those mercenaries? you just have to throw a bag of gold coins into their middle and wait to kill the last one who survives. ”

Although this statement is a bit biased, after all, many times a bag of gold coins is not enough to make mercenaries risk their lives. But the truth is true, at least for most mercenaries. However, because of this impression, the number of mercenaries who have been killed has always remained at a good level with the number of mercenaries who have killed their employers. And since everyone treats the mercenaries as disposable pawns. How to get as much commission as possible while saving your life from being killed by your employer has become a topic that all mercenaries are studying.

"Dumb and blind people make it to the end, don't they?" said Lothar to the spider tamer.

"Whew...... It seems that you are a sensible adult. To be honest, I'm stressed to answer these impossible questions all the time. A chuckle tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if relaxed at Lothar's understanding, the little girl said. As for whether her spirit is really as relaxed as she appears, I'm afraid no one will know except herself.

"Well, let's make a deal. The Count of Montenegro pulled over a chair and motioned for Cheese to sit aside, "First of all, your name?"

"You can call me a webworm. The girl said. Apparently it's a code name, but Lothar doesn't care.

"I can understand your concerns, Miss Networm. Your spiders have just been killed by my companions. If you sell your employer to us now, I think you'll be in danger of your life if you leave this house. What I'm going to tell you, though, is that your employer just killed one of this gentleman's friends yesterday if you don't say anything substantially valuable. We're going to warn your employer about the horrible things we're going to do to you. I don't think that's what we want to see, right?"

"But if I reveal something like you and your friends that I shouldn't have revealed, I don't think I'll be in much better hands. The webworm replied.

"That's exactly what I'm saying. In this case, you tell us the information of your employer, and I swear by the Black Mountain family and my Lothar that the Black Mountain family will protect you until this matter is known. I believe how powerful my family is in this kingdom, you still know it. Lothar said that since the other party's concern came from fear for his own life, his assurance was necessary.

"Black Mountain Family?" Hearing Lothar report herself, the Networm's expression shook significantly, although she had long guessed about Lothar's signature dress, but it was still a little unexpected to hear Count Montenegro personally admit her identity. However, the expression on her face quickly returned to normal.

"But...... How can I trust the promise of an Earl who can't even protect his own territory?", said the networm, with a look of obvious deliberate distress on his face. Apparently she was having fun with Lothar. By this time, the networms had understood how hungry Cheese was for the information in their hands.

Cheese noticed that Lothar's facial muscles stiffened visibly after the networm said this. The mage had long had some doubts about why Lothar appeared in the king's capital, and now it seemed that this doubt might have been answered by the mercenary's words.

Taking a deep breath, Lothar calmed the anger in her heart, for a lord, the inability to protect his territory was simply the greatest insult imaginable. But at this time, the Count of Montenegro knew very well that the other party would only provoke himself when he saw this.

"In addition to the promise of protection, the Montenegrin family is willing to pay the same price, no matter how much your employer promises to pay you. ”

"Hee-hee, thank you for your generosity. However, my little pets had just been burned to death by the gray-robed adult. I can't guarantee that I won't forget some details for the sake of sadness. The girl said with a smile.

"Don't go too far!" Cheese stood up, apparently annoyed by the networm's rude request, but Lothar held out a hand in front of the mage.

"Five hundred blue lion gold coins to compensate your spiders. Lothar said through gritted teeth.

"Then I would like to tell you all I know, my lord. ”
