423 After the meeting
At the end of the meeting, the leaders of the Quartet left very quickly.
After all, they are basically big people with heads and faces, and there are a lot of things to deal with, and it is impossible to spend too much time here.
The same is true of the Revenant and his guards, but they are not busy, this man, who is the leader of the organization of thousands of mages, is worried about where he will sleep tonight.
The old man is the minister of the powerful country, the sword demon is the gods and demons, and the number one is the mercenary hero, they all have their own forces, and it is very simple to find a good place to stay.
In comparison, the Revenant is more miserable, without carrying the members of the Dream Shattering Organization as a combat power, he is no different from ordinary people, and it is still more difficult for a person of unknown origin like him to find a place to live in Dragon God City.
"That...... Adult ......"
In the dark night road, the guard who had been accompanying the dead soul spoke up, he was like a little pet clinging to his master, and he had been following him since he changed his new owner.
"Huh, what's wrong?"
The revenant, who was still very cowardly before, has long since faded away from immaturity and weakness, and has become a mature leader who can stand on the big scene.
He looked back at the guard with a slight smile.
"Under ...... Still think...... It's too risky......"
He, too, had the same idea as the previous One.
As a close confidant raised by Barton since childhood, he values the rare magical organization of Broken Dreams much more than the soul. Such an approach not only brings danger to the dead soul itself, but also pushes the organization to the precipice of no return, and a mistake may destroy the accumulation of decades.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
"Haha, what's wrong? Do you think I'm taking a risk like this?"
In contrast, the Revenant is much easier, the Broken Dream was taken over by him, and the importance attached to it is naturally not as heavy as the guard, so he dared to bet on all this so boldly.
Anyway, he has already lost a lot, and it doesn't matter if he loses a little more.
"Yes, I don't really understand what you mean by doing this......"
As he spoke, the guard lowered his head, and he seemed a little guilty for questioning the will of the revenant.
"Now, you know what? When we do things, we can't just look at the immediate interests. ”
"The ...... in front of you Benefits?"
"Well, yes. ”
The Revenant nodded.
He is not a person from this world, and the earth has shortcomings compared to the spar world, but it also has strengths.
Games, comics, anime, movies, these things that are not available in the spar world, so that even if he can't get out of the house, he has accumulated some knowledge and insights, combined with his decades of experience and previous painful experiences, he suddenly realized something.
"However, my lord, whether it is gold, land, or spar, they are all very important resources, and if they can be obtained, they can also facilitate future development. ”
"Well, that's right, in normal thinking, we'd better get one of these things in return. ”
The Revenant nodded in agreement.
"That'...... Why ......"
"The cake is that big, you know?"
“......”
As he spoke, the revenant slowly walked to the guard's side, leaning over his face, the foreheads of the two were about to touch each other, and in his one-eyed, the guard's panicked appearance was in full view.
"Too ...... It's so close......"
Maybe it was because he was shy, and after the guard spoke, he hurriedly took a few steps back and widened the distance between the two.
"Ah, sure enough, I knew you must be a girl. ”
There was a strange look in the eyes of the revenant.
"Moreover, it is still a very young type, the body is deformed, the hands are short and the legs are long, because you tied wood to your feet and forcibly pretended to be an adult, am I right?"
“......”
"Really, why hide it, I already knew. ”
When he said this, the eyes of the dead soul were full of tenderness.
These words are very meaningful, and it seems that they are not just referring to the female identity of the guards and their hidden age, but also to the identity under their masks.
"I ...... I ......"
The guard was obviously shaken, she looked at the ghost, a little swaying, and couldn't even speak for a while. The former vows conflicted with the feelings in her heart, whether she should take off her mask, whether she should meet the dead soul with her true face, and after that, what kind of expression should she get along with, all kinds of troubles filled her mind, making the heart that had been unstable once again restless.
"Ah, let's not talk about who you are, let's move on to today's meeting. ”
Seeing that the guards still didn't have the idea of confessing their identities, the revenant still chose to give up, and after breathing a sigh of relief on the other side, he continued to talk.
"The cake is so big, I, who have just taken office, as a disadvantaged group, can't compete with those few. ”
“......”
"It is the interests that bring people together, but at the same time, it is also the interests that divide people. ”
With that, the revenant walked again.
The guard behind was stunned for a moment, but soon, she trotted a few times and followed behind the revenant, her head bowed, her hands clasped together at her abdomen, introverted, like a little sister next door.
"Hypothetically, just hypothetically, I propose in this meeting that I want any of these three resources, and after that, what happens?"
The revenant turned around and asked, but the latter, a little shyly, turned his head and did not answer.
"Hmph, it's okay if it's just the number one of the mercenary group, the other two are not people I can afford to provoke, now, everyone is cooperating, who knows, after this, will they suddenly turn around and point the finger at us. ”
“......”
"Benefits, desirable, but not always have to be taken, this is the same as never competing with the boss for credit. ”
"Then, there's what I call 'fame'. ”
As he spoke, the revenant looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something.
"Perhaps, our approach is a loss in the early stage, and even saddled with the crime of destroying the country, and for a long time, it will be very bad, but once we get through this time, what we get may not even lose the first three at all, na, think about it, if we win, what will those people outside say about us?"
The revenant seemed to be very interested in asking the guard questions, and looking at the latter's somewhat distressed and panicked appearance, the corners of his mouth would always pull a slight arc.
"It's ...... Terrible...... Or something?"
The guard, who is not very good at thinking, hesitated a little and asked tentatively.
"Well, yes. ”
The Revenant nodded.
"Those who pay lip service to justice will think we're 'evil,' but at the same time they'll think we're terrible. Of course, it is not only these so-called heroes of justice who have this idea, but also some 'bad guys' who have nowhere to go, and it is likely that they will also find us under the name of 'broken dreams'. ”
"That'...... My lord, do you want to use this method to expand the power of our organization?"
"Well, yes, after all, my goal is not as small as the previous ones, but I want to conquer the world. ”
The two of them walked to a street corner and suddenly stopped.
"Is it okay to stay here tonight?"
As a country famous for its discipline and legal system, there is a place in the Dragon God City that can accommodate them, and it can be said that it is still difficult to find. And this one is located on the corner of the street, but it just so happens to be the target they are looking for.
This inn is located in a very inconspicuous corner, and it looks like a regular inn, but it is clear that it is not difficult for the guard, who has been on the verge of life and death countless times, to discover the mystery in it.
"Yes, yes. ”
The guard poked his head out, sniffed lightly at the door of the inn, and nodded.
"There was a very faint smell of blood at the door, which should have been a signal from the store to mercenaries, criminals, and the like. ”
"Hey...... It's really enviable that the nose is so smart. ”
The Revenant stepped forward and knocked on the somewhat worn wooden door.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
