Chapter 533: Friendship Lasts Forever
Before you know it, the situation is starting to get out of hand.
It turned out that the alchemist who had come to help was shocked to find that Huai Shi had been surrounded by the group of rat people, pushing and shoving in the crowd, staggering back.
Hearing the leader's voice, the other nezumi immediately screamed.
"No more! No more! No meat!"
"It's not fair, it's fair!"
"We want a say, a say, a law!"
"The king of the ivory and the tower and the bastard are all liars!
In the midst of the clamour, the hundreds of rat people were agitated and screaming. And the leader of the lead saw that the snake man undead army was watching indifferently from the side, and did not interfere, so he shouted even more happily.
"IโWe're going for the ivory...... Ivory Tower!"
The leader was tugging at Huaishi's clothes, almost a head taller than him, and was furious, but it looked very conspicuous, because it was the only one in the swarm of rats that was white.
I don't know if it's annoyance or what, my eyes have turned red, and I don't even stumble when I speak: "Your conscience is bad, it's bad! The price of the ivy is higher than that of you! You gang of black-hearted businessmen! You don't even give us vacation or vacation! We want to protest! Protest !!."
The righteous indignation of the last two words of protest pierced everyone's eardrums.
Along with it, the other nezumi roared and shouted, "Protest !!"
"Rats and rat people also have human rights !!"
The leader raised his paws and led his subordinates to shout, "Iโwe have an eight-hour workday!"
"Eight-hour workday !!"
"We want a reasonable holiday!!
"We want life insurance!!
"We, we want to resist the oppression !!"
The leader raised his throat and roared: "We're going to strike! Strike !!"
"โstrike !!"
The echoes of the rats almost toppled the entire ceiling.
The group of black and oppressive rat men waved their weapons wildly, and out of nowhere they turned out a pile of dirty yellow cloth to drape over their bodies, and roared excitedly with the leader.
Behind the outlying station, in the Iron Crystal Seat, all the people in charge stood in front of the screen, their faces already ugly and about to drip water.
On top of the iron crystal seat, the heavy cannon body turned silently, already aimed at this group of wastes who had not achieved enough to defeat and more than defeated. But until then, everyone remained silent and did not give orders.
The situation is not out of control.
It's not their turn to intervene......
But now the real person in charge is submissive in front of that group of guys and does not dare to speak out, which can't help but make the people in charge who have had some expectations for Huai Shi these days fall into deep disappointment.
Even if he was pushed and scolded like this, he couldn't stand up in front of the Abyss Clan, so he could only smile and raise his hand to the surroundings to appease them and make them whisper, but no one paid attention to him at all.
In addition to the expressionless gargoyles who were closing their eyes and recuperating, even the snake cavalry who had just been at odds with the Abyssal Rats stood by with a sneer and watched the excitement, without the slightest idea of interfering.
It seems that he is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to make another big profit......
This group of rat people is not afraid of making trouble.
Naturally, they have the confidence to be here.
Although the individual quality is not comparable to that of the gargoyle and the snake cavalry, there is no doubt that there are the largest numbers, and among them, this time there are four named ones, and the leader is the clothed man who has been sealed by the abyss, and the master of the large group is deserved.
They are not afraid of making a big fuss, and they will go to the Ivy League.
Whoever is given more money will do the work for the one side.
It's not the first time that this method of doing business on the battlefield has been used, so who cares about a sissy's appeasement and advice.
Originally, the leader of the clothes didn't want to make such a big fuss at all, but he didn't expect that this time the commander would be such a bad breed...... If you don't take the opportunity to grab a vote, how can you marry a lot of dirty mother-in-law and give birth to a lot of stinky cubs after returning to your hometown!
"Everyone, don't worry. โ
Huai Shi's clothes had been pulled several times in the pushing, her hair was disordered, and she comforted in horror: "You can talk about it, these are all talkative." This leader, this leader, can you say something, let everyone wait, wait first?"
"Talk?"
The leader sneered, "What are you going to talk about?"
"Uh-" Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, looked around in embarrassment, and finally looked at the tall rat man in front of him: "This leader, may I ask...... What do you call that?"
"A, Alec. โ
The burly white nezumi touched the hair on his head, glanced at Huai Shi, and said, "Call me Lord Alec!"
"Then, Lord Alec...... It's inconvenient for us, let's talk in another place?"
Huai Shi got closer, raised his hand, quietly stuffed a essentia crystal, and said in a low voice, "It's not convenient here...... Wouldn't it be better for us to say something in private?"
Alec was about to turn his face and was furious, but then, he felt that a piece of essentia crystal was stuffed in his hand, and his face froze.
And perceiving that Huai Shi looked at the camera in the corner from time to time, he seemed to understand something, pulled his rat whiskers, and snorted coldly: "Talk, you can talk about it, the key is whether there is sincerity or not." โ
"Some have, some are very sincere!" Huai Shi nodded vigorously, and raced over a piece of essentia crystal.
"Okay, I'll talk to you, talk about it. โ
As he spoke, Alec cast a color behind him, motioning for two of the remaining four to follow, and then unpleasantly commanded, "Is it the hospitality of the Ivory Tower, is that, that's it, let people stand dry, without a little water?"
"There is wine and meat!"
Huai Shi nodded vigorously and glared at Lin Shijiu who was not far away: "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you arrange dinner for your friends quickly? Let the kitchen take out the good meat, and besides, didn't the teacher bring two bottles of red wine? Hurry up and take them out to moisten everyone's mouth!"
Lin Jiu was stunned for a long time, ran out in a panic, and soon, in the restaurant of Tie Jingzuo, the same price of wine and food was delivered.
Among the snake people, the mottled young leader glanced coldly at Huai Shi and bowed his head to welcome the rat men into the office, and disdainfully lowered his head and spat a mouthful of venom on the ground, sneering.
"Bad seeds...... Honorable Elder, why are we putting on such a show this time?"
"Wouldn't that be better? With those rat men at the beginning, it's easy for us to raise the priceโif we don't win, we have to make money. โ
The elder was still chewing on the hay roots, and the snake letter popped out slightly, tasting the smell in the air. But he didn't let his heirs and subordinates make trouble.
The spare reins on his wrist were tightly wound and never let go.
"Wait. He glanced apprehensively at the gargoyles standing indifferently not far away, and said, "Waitโ"
As an elite army that fights between various hells and haunts various battlefields all year round, the Snake Undead Army has strong mobility and long-lasting combat ability, and at the same time, military discipline has become more and more serious with the harsh atmosphere among the snake people.
As early as when they were recruited, each snake man brought two weeks' rations.
Even if he entered the welcome banquet under Lin Shijiu's warm invitation, he never touched the dishes and chopsticks of the ivory tower, and the fragrant delicacies were not used in front of him. Eating bricks and dry food made of straw cakes, and only drinking the water he brought, he seemed to be full of vigilance.
As for the gargoyles...... They don't have to eat at all. Even if there is an occasional breakage in the body, it can be repaired by eating some stones and iron. When you really eat, you eat a variety of essentia objects similar to essentia crystals, which is basically enough two to three times a month.
On the contrary, the nezumi soon began to wander, especially after the forest hut was served with Huaishi's treasured wine. The seductive aroma of wine was as red as blood, and the eyes of the tempted rats were red, and even though each person only got a small cup, they could not help but indulge in the wonderful taste, and they were drunk and drunk.
Even the snake people next to them couldn't help but buzz their noses when they smelled this smell.
"Hmph-"
The young commander snorted coldly, reached out and pressed the short knife on his waist, and was about to get up. But he saw the elder on the other side raise his eyes and look at him coldly: "Chaolu, what do you want to do?"
"Do you need to ask?" Chaolu said angrily: "Wine is only worthy of the victorious, and we don't enjoy it, are those miscellaneous deserving of it?"
"It's not up to you to decide whether you're qualified or not. โ
The Venerable Elder said indifferently, "The wine is not yours, and the victory is not yours." The truth is that only when you have victory will you have good wine, not for you to reach out and take it.
This is not something that guests should do, nor is it an idea that the hired person should have. โ
"But ......"
"But what?" asked the elder in a cold voice, "Are you questioning my orders?" Chaolu, are you trying to disobey me? If so, please draw your sword, and we can dance your sword to cheer them up before the master here returns." โ
"Don't dare. โ
Chaolu prostrated in a panic and lay behind the table, ignoring the fact that his body was covered with soup.
The Venerable Elder didn't speak anymore, just ate the water he brought, ate the dry food little by little, and sat quietly and waited.
In my heart, the omen of uneasiness is getting stronger and strongerโ
It didn't take long for the screen on the ceiling to light up above all of them, revealing the scene in the office.
Before he could see clearly, an embarrassed voice came.
"This ...... Isn't it a bit ...... at this price Slightly expensive?"
"Expensive! Where, where?"
Alec shook his hand angrily and slammed it on the table: "Life and life are priceless! It's just a doubling, you black-hearted profiteers, don't you even want to pay this money?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. โ
Huai Shi wiped the sweat from her forehead in embarrassment, and raised her head to look at Alec, who looked gloomy and looked at him indifferently. Suddenly shrank back: "Okay, good, okay, at this price! I'll let people take the money and ......."
What was once a neat office has become a mess.
Behind Alec's couch, the two awarders who had followed were about to rummage through the office, still fighting over the pistol that hung on the wall.
Not to mention, the little fly on this handle is quite delicately carved...... At first glance, you will know that it is a good product!
It wasn't long before a girl in a gray dress came in pushing a cart, and as the cart's boxes opened towards Alec, the shepherd's essentia crystals lit up with brilliance.
Almost all the little eyeballs of the nezumi were dazzling.
How many essentia crystals had it seen there? How many dirty women did he marry and how many cubs he had?
Not only him, but the two subordinates behind him were also stunned, forgetting to fight for the pistol.
Alec stabbed his saliva and subconsciously reached for the boxes.
But Huai Shi seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and reached out and pressed it on the box.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Alec frowned, his expression immediately became hideous: "Do you want to rebel and regret it!"
"The money promised will definitely be given to you. โ
Huai Shi stared at him, her expression nervous: "But...... If you take the money, you have to do something. โ
Alec was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Put, rest assured, it's natural. โ
He patted his chest and assured in a loud voice, anyway, he didn't need money to say two words, and the contract was not signed, and your empty words are useless. Naturally, you have to get the money first.
He impatiently snatched the box with his hand, stroked the essentia crystals inside, and almost drooled: "We, the Fangs tribe, are nine and nine dings! If we accept your money, we will definitely give you our lives! Bow, bow, bow, death, ......death,
"yes, that's good. โ
The young man sitting across from him breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved his hand: "'Death and self' is not needed, what a stumble - just 'die'." โ
Silence, sudden.
In the brilliant light of essentia crystals, Alec finally sensed that something was wrong and looked up, but there was no sound from the two subordinates behind him.
I don't know where I went.
Only the creepy chewing sound came from the darkness.
Just above the display screen, the white mouse holding the essentia crystals sat on the sofa, looking left and right blankly, with the smile on his face still lingering.
But just behind the spacious sofa, one after another dark shadows slowly emerged.
It was Huaishi's shadow, which had been stretched to that point at some point, slowly rising behind it, forming a pitch-black silhouette, smiling at him.
He was stunned and drew his knife in an instant.
But the knife could not be drawn.
To be exact, when the dark shadow behind him raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, he was deprived of all his resistance power...... Whether it is the border relics hidden on his body, or the huge power he possesses, even the noble status of the clothed person cannot resist.
Under that cold palm.
After leaving the area where the park is located, the power of the legal department naturally drops, but no matter how much the power rises, their essence remains unchanged. They are the codes created by Paradise, the spirit of contracts formed by fairy tales and dreams.
Even though they have fallen into Hell, this pure essence has not changed in any way - it can be said that each of them is a relic of the frontier that can be moved, forming a contract of hell in the form of a human.
The moment Alec nodded, it was equivalent to selling the lives of his entire clan with this pile of essentia crystals.
It's a joke for mere clothers to want to repentance in a deal they have witnessed.
"Little cub, what do you want to do!"
In an instant, Alec's eyes turned blood-red, and he roared in annoyance: "Let them let go of their hands immediately! Believe it or not, I made you look good!"
"Isn't that what you said you were going to do?
The figure with his back to the camera calmly asked rhetorically, as if smiling, and spread his hands: "Now, I have given the money, please give me your life." โ
Alec roared, struggling.
But under the gaze of the black shadow of the Ministry of Justice, he couldn't move, and in an instant, his brave and hideous appearance disappeared without a trace, and he skillfully squeezed out a flattering smile: "Sir, sir, don't be like this, I, I'm joking...... It's all a joke...... Joke!"
"But I'm not kidding. Huai Shi sighed calmly.
"Just sit there and don't move. โ
He got up slowly, slowly and carefully pulled up the sleeves of the detached gown, then unfastened the cufflinks of his shirt, folded them up in two, revealing his well-proportioned forearms, and whispered to Alec:
"โI'll take it myself. โ
Alec's eyes widened and he wanted to scream, but behind him, two hands suddenly covered his mouth. Immediately after, Huaishi's shadow covered his pupils.
An ornate sacrificial knife emerged from its slender fingers and was forward, piercing Alec's throat, bringing all struggles to an abrupt end.
Immediately after, he skillfully turned half a circle.
The melons are ripe and falling.
.
.
As early as the moment Huai Shi made his move, chaos spread from the hall.
Seeing that their leader was restrained by Huai Shi, most of the rat people instantly pulled out their weapons from the mats under their buttocks, roaring and screaming to cause chaos.
But then, it was as if some kind of cage had been opened.
An overwhelming tide of crows roared and swept across the zenith, enveloping all the nezumi like black clouds. Countless indifferent scarlets looked down like stars.
Staring at their own food.
Before the nezumi could resist, their bodies suddenly went limp, and they lost their strength. In an instant, I only felt that it was dark in front of me, and countless mushrooms jumped out of the dish, dancing around them hand in hand like villains. Soon, dense rashes and blisters grew on the face and body.
But in such a huge group, there are still many people who have not relaxed their vigilance, and there are many more rat people who have an astonishing high level of poison resistance, and they even forcibly get up from the ground.
"Liar, liar, !!" The left-behind conferrer screamed angrily: "The elephant and the ivory tower deceive us! Instead, the other way! Kill all these liars, go and find the evergreen ......."
Lin Jiu pursed his lips and stretched out his hand, and was about to take out the gun from his pocket, when a miserable roar suddenly burst out.
He froze in place.
It was like thunder suddenly exploding from a secret room.
With a high-pitched chirp, a pitch-black arrow whistled past the nezumi and pierced into the nezumi's eye socket, tugging at it and nailing it into the wall that had just been painted for a short time.
Only half-exposed arrow feathers were buzzing in its eye sockets.
"Do you dare to betray the contract!"
A hoarse and cold voice rang out.
In the midst of the undead army who bent their bows and arrows and drew their weapons, the old snake man had already gotten up, stepped on the table, and shouted angrily at the rat people and asked, "You waste, do you dare to be the enemy of the undead army!"
Bearing the brunt of the attack, its deputy stepped out towards Lu, and it had already appeared several meters away, the scimitar in his hand chirping in a low voice, sprinkling a handful of blood.
And right behind him, the two rat men who rushed the fastest and shouted the loudest had already stopped and broke off.
"Within three breaths, those who kneel on the ground will not be killed!"
Chao Lu raised his hand, and behind him, more than forty snake people undead had already raised the black bow in their hands, tightened the bowstring, and aimed it at the limp rats.
didn't even wait for the people arranged by Huai Shi to do it, and a turmoil ended so abruptly.
It's like it started out abruptly.
It didn't take long for Huai Shi to return to the hall, and everything had returned to silence. It's as if the buzzing strings are smoothed by an invisible palm.
No one dared to make an incongruous voice in front of this young man anymore.
"Oh, is it the elder who made a move?"
After understanding the beginning and the end, Huai Shi sat on the table above, took a hot towel from Yuan Yuan's hand, wiped his hands, finally sat down, looked up and asked, "Why did you help me, Elder, shouldn't it be as ruthless as possible at this time?"
"The undead army also has a backbone. โ
The Venerable Elder said solemnly, "Even if we are human eagle dogs, we will not be hyenas that eat carrionโbesides, as your mercenaries, isn't it natural for us to quell the turmoil for you?"
"It's rare for you to have this heart, and that's great. โ
Huai Shi smiled, turned his head again, and looked at the leader of the gargoyles: "Then why, the undead army started to suppress the turmoil, but the gargoyles didn't make any moves?"
Behind the desk, the burly gargoyle with his eyes closed slowly raised his eyes and replied calmly, "As the commander-in-chief, you didn't give orders, did you?"
"That's right. โ
Huai Shi bowed his head and said approvingly: "What the two of you said is very good, they are both right, and we can be assisted by a large group of the two, compared to this war, we are not far from victory." It's a pity that some people don't think so, but do something wrong, which makes people feel a little ......"
He paused, lowered his eyes with pity, looked at the trembling rats below, shook his head and sighed: "It's a little helpless." โ
In the dead silence, no one spoke.
"There is nothing to do, the big mistake has been made, and many things are irreparable. โ
Huai Shi sighed softly: "But we can't be immersed in the past, we must look forward, we can't be careful, and we can't anger more people because of some people's misdeeds, right?"
โ......โ
Many nezumi raised their heads in surprise and wanted to echo Huai Shi's words.
But when they looked up and saw those black eyes, they were speechless. It was as if my heart was caught in the sight, and it was hard to breathe in the stiffness.
You should all hear what Alec promised. โ
Huai Shi said calmly, "The lives of all of you have been awarded to the Ivory Tower for the price of four hundred essentia crystals. This was the contract that Alec had signed with his own blood.
Therefore, I declare that all of you will be a slave army forever attached to the Iron Crystal, and you will serve here until the end of your life.
While you live, you will fight for the Ivory Tower. When you die, your corpse will also become the unbreakable foundation of the Ivory Tower in hell here.
Your dedication will not end until one day, when I think that what you have created will be enough to redeem your lives. Nothing else, anyone can shake our unbreakable bonds with each other.
Here, I look forward to your enthusiasm on the front lines, and I promise that even if you die in battle, I will definitely send your life money to your tribe. โ
With the calm words, the severe chill slowly spread.
Under the indifferent view of the crows and the surveillance of the Ministry of Justice, not a single nezumi dared to stand up and speak. As members of the Great Flock, each of them is the property of the Lord of the Great Flock. What's more, among the abyssal rat people, there is no human rights at all.
Now that Huai Shi can spare their lives, they are glad that it is too late, how can anyone still oppose it?
"Well, that's it. โ
Huaishi smiled and clapped her hands, waving to the camera, signaling that the waiting alchemists could make explosive collars for their slaves.
Under the fierce suppression and sweeping, more than 800 nezumi were branded with the emblem of the Ivory Tower, and since then it has become one of the mobile assets of the Iron Crystal Seat.
There is no longer any possibility of resistance.
Huai Shixi mentioned 800 cannon fodder, and her smile became more and more pleasant.
And in this short silence, someone came out and stood under Huaishi's table.
"Your Excellency. โ
The old venerable elder suddenly spoke, "I have a question for you. โ
Huai Shi raised his eyebrows and bowed his head.
"Please. โ
"I know that Your Excellency is a superior with strength and determination, and I also know that Your Excellency's strength is something that we cannot resist, but because of this, there are some things that I have to say. โ
The Venerable Elder raised his amber vertical pupils, stared at Huai Shi's face, and asked solemnly: "We are here today, it is your hired soldiers, your subordinates, even if they are despicable mercenaries, war wild dogs, but also people who gamble their lives to win victory for you.
From the moment the contract is signed, we are your lackeys. But why don't you be honest with us, but try to lure us into trouble?"
Ignoring Huai Shi's purge in front of his eyes just now, the venerable elder of the snake man raised his head and asked, "Can such behavior be exchanged for loyalty!"
Silence was sudden.
The sound of breathing seemed to be gone.
Even the gargoyle who had been looking down all the time raised his eyes and looked at the two of them at the moment.
The Venerable Elder calmly waited for Huai Shi's reply, without any weakness or uneasiness, and Huai Shi did not get angry, but showed a strange smile.
For a long time, the head of the jaw of approval.
"You are right, there is nothing more precious in this world than sincerity and sincerity, and I know this very well. It was indeed my mistake not to give you enough credit. โ
He sighed softly, but suddenly asked, "But in this world, even in hell, is there anything more difficult than being honest with each other, Your Excellency?"
He lowered his eyes, stared at the old snake man below, and asked word by word: "Sincerity is mutual, isn't it?
If sincerity has not been exchanged for sincerity, why have you waited until now to ask me such a frivolous question?"
The silence suddenly froze at this moment, as if everything had been frozen.
With the overlook of those eyes, the gentleness and smile that flowed in them gradually faded, and were replaced by some kind of palpitating coldness and darkness, solemn as an abyss.
For a long time, with the slight beating of the corners of his eyes, the old snake man took the lead in looking away and lowered his head.
"Your Excellency is taught. โ
He stroked his chest and saluted: "It was my mistake." โ
The frozen atmosphere dissipated abruptly.
Because Huai Shi smiled, enthusiastic and kind, like a spring breeze.
"Where are you saying this, it's just a little misunderstanding, where can you talk about what is right or wrong?"
He got up, humbly helped the old snake man up, took his hand and said to the abyssal creatures around him, "What Mr. Venerable Elder said just now is right, I didn't trust everyone and made a mistake.
As an excuse to apologize, I went to the kitchen just now and made a dish for everyone. I hope that after tasting it, you can let go of your previous suspicions and forget these little unpleasantness.
From now on, we will work together and work closely together, and victory in this war awaits us!"
In Huai Shi's impassioned announcement, the pale-faced Lin Shijiu pushed the trolley into the door, and the big bone soup was boiling in the stove on the trolley, which was already milky white, and the aroma was attractive.
And the bones inside have already been stewed and soft, and if you poke them with chopsticks a little, the meat on them will fall off.
It is clearly simmered to taste.
Huai Shi took the bowl and spoon, personally filled a bowl of fragrant broth for the elder, and sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, and the aroma rose even more incomprehensibly.
"Please, Your Excellency. โ
Huai Shi smiled and handed over the bowl.
The Venerable Elder was silent for a moment, then took the bowl with both hands, raised his head, and swallowed it all without caring about the hot soup. Even the bones were chewed in the mouth and swallowed into the stomach.
Accepting the kindness from Huai Shi, everyone released their suspicions.
The atmosphere became lively and peaceful again, and the dishes like flowing water were quickly served, once again pushing the atmosphere of the dinner to a climax.
During the banquet, Huai Shi personally served a delicious soup for everyone, but until the lid of the pot was re-covered, no one saw what kind of ingredients such a fragrant soup was made. I have to say, it's a pity.
And after Huai Shi returned to her place, she didn't eat anything more.
Just smiling, sipping the wine in the glass, looking at everyone's happiness, eating and drinking, looking extremely satisfied. It's as if everyone is happy when they eat, they feel happy.
Until the end of the banquet, Huai Shi looked around at the hell crowd and thoughtfully asked, "Have you eaten enough, do you want to have some more?"
After receiving the reply of 'Thank you for your hospitality, you have eaten a lot', Huai Shi nodded with satisfaction, raised her glass and said, "Then, at the end of the banquet, let me toast everyone." โ
As he spoke, he took the lead in holding his glass, looked at the others with a smile, raised his glass and said:
"I wish our friendship a long and lasting friendship. โ
The wine, which was as clear as blood and had an intoxicating sweet taste, was drunk by everyone.
And when Huai Shi put down the wine glass, the originally lively and noisy hall fell into a sudden silence again.
"Now that you're full of wine and food, let's get ready to go. โ
In the dead silence, it was like bathing in the darkness of the night.
Huai Shi drew his sword, propped it up beside him, and calmly raised his head and announced to his subordinates:
"โLadies and gentlemen, the time for war has come. โ
