Chapter Twenty-Five: El's Please

It was only after that Earth Dragon incident that Lorist changed his opinion of El. The next few adventures between the two worked together, and as they got to know each other, Lorist and El became good friends who talked about everything.

Time flies so fast, he was only nineteen years old that year, and now he is twenty-four, five years is enough time for Lorist to grow from a rookie who often makes trouble and pokes leaks to an experienced and unfazed old mercenary.

What's wrong with me tonight, how do you keep recalling the past? Maybe it's the chic when Wen Na left just now and the doomed breakup tonight that makes me feel so much, after all, it's a four-year relationship, no matter how determined I amend, the nostalgia in my heart is still difficult to give up, maybe only when time passes slowly, I will gradually forget her. Hopefully, when the sun comes out tomorrow, it will be a fresh start.

"Why are you here, you want to see my liveliness?" Lorist touched his face, fortunately, he didn't shed tears, otherwise he would have been laughed at again.

"I heard that the fruit seller Giraud said that you are back, of course I want to come and have a look. I thought it was an inseparable parting of life and death, but I had to rekindle my old feelings, complain to each other, and finally fall in love with each other, and sleep together. Who wants the man to be ruthless, and the woman to be simple, just shoot it in two, it's too disappointing. "El is still the same, full of nonsense.

"Hehe, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Lorist chuckled.

"It's okay, my brother knows that you don't have the talent of the singer, and it's understandable that you can't perform. By the way, what's going on with that duel announcement posted everywhere in the past two days? I'm just thinking about going to the academy tomorrow to find Shi Fatzi and ask what happened. El asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the dead old man of Dean Levins made a bet with all the other colleges in the academy district to see if I could beat the silver instructors of those colleges. Then the dead old man wanted to make some extra money, and by the way, to make the reputation of the academy even better, so he asked Shi Fatzi to post duel notices everywhere. Lorist gave a brief account of how he had been pushed into the pit by Dean Levens.

El Ke didn't sympathize with his brother's plight, on the contrary, he was a little elated: "So this is a good opportunity to make money, should we set a plate, bet on how many games you can win, I believe it will be rich." ”

Lorist smiled bitterly, what kind of bad friends did he make, he didn't say a word of comfort but only thought about how to make a lot of money from this matter, really. So he dialed a basin of cold water to El: "Don't think about it in the academy area, Dean Levens, this old fox must have been arranged a long time ago, he is more thoughtful than you, it is impossible to let go of this good opportunity to make money, maybe the entire city of Moriente is in his calculations." If you want to set up a plate, at most you can open a small one in the tavern, plus profit sharing and up and down dots, not as much profit as you think. ”

"Taverns are fine, forty-eight blocks of Moldant City, plus three new neighborhoods, twenty-seven bosses, I just need to have a tavern in every neighborhood and neighborhood with plates. Those bosses are good at talking, and they will be divided into one, and if they don't give face, they will make him look good, and the elder brother wants his brothers to be independent, and he is worried that he has no place to arrange. As for the old fox of the dean, no matter how calculating he could, he had to follow the rules. The old brother raised the bonus of the plate, how can he compare it with my underground on the surface, and then see whose plate is attractive. El started to get excited as he spoke, and he couldn't wait to do it.

Lorist secretly sighed that El was so cynical five years ago, although he was the black boss, he didn't care about anything, and he just wanted to go out and risk becoming a famous mercenary legend. Now he is majestic, steady, and has a first-class vision for seizing the opportunity, and he is becoming more and more like a veritable black boss. It seems that it is not only myself that has changed in the past five years, but also these friends have changed to a greater or lesser extent.

"If you do, you can really cut a big piece from this big pie. It's just that I said you didn't think about my feelings, but my brother was forced to duel. If you are not in a good mood, it is difficult to say whether you will win or lose. ”

"Hehe, others are unreliable, don't you know your own brother, brother, brother, if you lose, it's a big joke. The elder brother's dark attribute fighting spirit is difficult to practice, and he has only been promoted to two silver stars in the past few years, not as good as the fat man, he has reached three silver stars, not to mention anything else, in Morent City, there are really few silver-level mercenaries and swordsmen in our eyes. But under you, the two of us haven't won a game. And that time when the two of us teamed up to compete with you, we only supported a hundred moves. Brother, you will lose to the silver rank, and you don't believe it if you kill your brother. "Elby Lorist himself is still full of confidence.

Lorist rolled her eyes.

"Alright, brother, my brother won't let you work in vain. Well, the plate will be divided into 10 percent, okay? 1 and a half, and you will shake your head? 20 percent at most, no more, brother. My brother still has to go to work, and there are so many people under him to eat. El said.

"Okay, deal. Lorist lazily stretched out a hand: "Tomorrow you go to Shi Fat by yourself and ask him about the schedule of the duel and the information of those challengers, these can provide boo and lead people to bet." Also, don't forget that Shi Fatzi also has to share the profits. ”

"I know, at most, give him one percent, plus you two percent, up and down one to two percent, those bosses one percent, and the tavern manpower arrangement is counted as one percent, so that the old brother still has three or four percent of his income, not in vain. El slapped Lorlist's outstretched palm hard, and his mood became cheerful at the thought that such a large sum of gold coins was about to be put in his pocket.

"Well, Locke, my brother forgot that there are two other things looking for you, and I forgot to tell you about the plate just now. By the way, I've got you an apprentice. El frowned and thought for a long time before he remembered.

"What? You said to find me an apprentice? aren't you kidding?" Lorist was taken aback by El's words, please, don't you see how old I am, isn't it a joke to be a master?

"This ......" Er hesitated for a while, grabbing his hair in distress: "Actually, it's not a master, just let him follow you and point him when you have time." You should think that you have an extra retinue or servant, and let him do all the tiring and dirty work, anyway, this kid is tall and big, and it is not difficult to do these things. ”

Hearing El say this, Lorist was interested: "Tell me, what's going on?"

El said, "Well, Brother Locke, you know about our brothers, here's how it happened......"

Lorist knew a few years ago how El Boss's black boss came to be. More than twenty years ago, El's father and mother were both Golden Swordsmen, a couple of leaders of a famous mercenary group. But twenty years ago, El's parents led the mercenary group to participate in the Battle of White Hart, which brought the only Sword Master of the Krisson Empire to the battlefield, but the Fort Business Alliance also paid a great price, with very heavy casualties. The mercenary group led by El Ear's parents was almost wiped out, El 's mother died in battle, and his father died after a few years of being seriously injured and sick. The mercenary group was left with El's uncle Gary Lando, the only golden swordsman and several silver-rank mercenaries, and Gary Lando also became lame due to a wound in the thigh, and could not be promoted to the second gold star for the rest of his life.

The only few kittens left in the entire mercenary group naturally couldn't sustain themselves, so they had to be disbanded. Fortunately, before the battle, El's parents had considered the worst-case scenario and made careful arrangements for the families of the brothers of the mercenary group, and the relatives of the entire mercenary group lived in one block. Although the mercenary group is gone, the bereaved families take care of each other on the one hand, and on the other hand, the city of Morent also pays generous compensation to these mercenaries who died in battle, which saves them from the worry of food and clothing.

Garilando opened the Crow Tavern in order to facilitate the care and teaching of the children left behind by the brothers of these mercenary groups, and he put his hopes on these children, hoping that the children would grow up and re-erect the banner of the mercenary group. Among these children, El is the veritable eldest, because he is the oldest, second, he has the highest force value, and third, he is very good at taking these younger siblings, after all, they have all grown up behind his ass.

Seeing that the children are getting older and El, and El is about to graduate from Dawn Academy, Garrylando is full of joy, and it seems that the day of re-establishing the mercenary group is not far off. As a result, people are not as good as heaven, and an incident happened that pushed El to the position of the black boss.

It's really strange that the Fude Business Alliance has handed over the management of the neighborhood to an underground community organization. Although this policy has given most of the black bosses of underground community organizations the opportunity to clear their hands from black to whitewash, and reduced the occurrence of various criminal cases and conflicts between underground community organizations, not all black bosses have acted in accordance with the rules. El: Their neighborhood is lined with such a black boss.

Not to mention that the usual collection of taxes and management fees is so much more than that of other blocks, this black boss also has ingenious and ingenious names, adding clothes fees, land occupation fees, road depreciation fees, etc., which was protested by the entire block and almost caused a riot. And the large area where they lived, the people were the most united, not only refused the unreasonable apportionment of the black boss, but even beat the members of the community organization who came to charge into the medical center. It's understandable that they're all young people and are more impulsive.

But the Black Boss didn't think so, he thought that the neighborhood where they lived was a model for the whole neighborhood, and it was El who took the lead in making everyone turn against him. This made the black boss see them as a thorn in his side, and he wanted to get rid of them. At this time, his younger brother brought him a piece of news, which made the black boss even more furious. It is said that the people of the entire neighborhood are preparing to launch petitions and protests at the year-end neighborhood jury to force the town hall to remove itself as a community organization from the management of the neighborhood.

This is worth it, the black boss jumped up, how much public relations expenses he paid to get the management of this block, and now he hasn't even recovered the cost, how can this work. The brains of the underworld are sometimes not very bright, and the black boss thinks about it and comes up with an idea, that is, to kill chickens and make an example. As for the chicken, they deserve it.

However, the strength of the black boss alone is not their opponent, not to mention that there is a golden swordsman behind them. The black boss was reluctant to spend a lot of money to hire people, so he actually asked his subordinates to bring barrels of fire oil to the residential area in the middle of the night to set fire to them, preparing to burn them to death and then push them to the fire.

Let's not talk about how stinky this idea is, the problem is that the black boss's subordinates were discovered as soon as they arrived at Er, and they beat them up first and then threatened them, and then their subordinates said everything. This was a sensation throughout the neighborhood, and people surrounded the black boss's house overnight. The black boss couldn't escape, and he was still stubborn after being caught by Er, but the angry residents rushed up, and before they could react, the black boss had already finished playing.

What should I do if there is no community organization of the black boss? The more prestigious old people in the dozens of neighborhoods discussed, "Come on, Er, so El has lived up to expectations and became the black boss."

Involuntarily became the black boss, El was naturally reluctant and didn't want to care about anything. But he didn't want to control his brothers, all of them were enthusiastic and talented, and they could do everything safely, and they didn't even have to worry about it, and after the New Year, Er found that even the two neighborhoods were already under his own management. In this way, the team of the future mercenary group that the golden swordsman Gary Lando had high hopes for became a neighborhood community organization, and it was also the most dynamic and promising one in Moriente City.

When the mercenary group was disbanded, there was a silver swordsman who was very good with Garry Lando, he was from the Romon Empire, and he was ready to return to his hometown after the rest of his life. When he said goodbye, Gary Lando told him about his plans, hoping that in the future, the children of the brothers would be able to re-erect the flag of the mercenary group. Three months ago, a little beggar from the Romon Empire came to find Garillando, and when the old man asked, he realized that it was his friend back then, the son of the silver swordsman.

Only then did Garry Lando know that the Silver Swordsman had died last year, and that his former friend's hometown was a small village in the middle of nowhere, and that the Silver Swordsman had returned home and became the captain of the village garrison, and after two years had a home, and then he had a little beggar in front of the old man. Two years ago, there was an epidemic in the village, and the parents of the little beggar could not avoid it, first the mother died, and the silver swordsman delayed it for half a year, and before he died, he ordered the child to find Garilando and join the mercenary group.

This child walked from the Romon Empire to the city of Moldant for half a year, in fact, it would not take half a month to take a long-distance public carriage, but the child didn't know, so he walked all the way with two feet, and when the money was gone, he made some odd jobs to eat, and slept outside the hotel or in the haystack at night. When he arrived in Morent City, he asked where the mercenary's relatives were in the neighborhood, and when he got to the neighborhood, he asked Garilando, and then he was brought to the old man.

Hearing the little beggar's experience all the way, the old man burst into tears, and not only did he eat and drink well, but he also told El to treat the child as his own brother. But when the kid knew that they didn't set up a mercenary group but became a community organization, they began to make trouble, and they didn't want to follow them. Let's go to school, well, I'm back tonight, and I'm back with a notice of expulsion from that house, because he's beaten up the whole class.

"This is already the third junior college, and we expect him to apply for Dawn Academy in a year. But now it seems impossible. The old man asked him what he wanted to learn, and he said that he wanted to learn the sword and become a great mercenary in the future and go on adventures all over the world. But the question is not whether he wants to learn or not, but whether he has the talent......"

El has been complaining: "This kid grew up in a mountain village, playing in the mountains and forests all day long, and his parents were very indulgent to him, but this character is too wild and very stubborn, sometimes the brain is a tendon, and he doesn't look back when he sees it." Let's talk about learning swords, I think giving him a wooden stick is more threatening than holding a big iron sword in his hand, he is only sixteen years old this year, his fighting spirit is bronze two stars, and he is very tall, and he looks like he is in his twenties. The strength is also very great, this should be a good material for practicing martial arts, but you must not have thought that this kid is very stupid with a sword, you taught him a move, and in less than ten minutes he can forget all the sword moves he just learned, and he will smash the sword like a wooden stick, and he will be angry with you. ”

"Now even the old man can't do anything about him, that's why I thought of you, if someone can teach him how to wield a sword, I don't think there is anyone else but you. El said.

Lorist laughed twice: "Old Gal is a golden swordsman, he can't teach that kid to learn swords, what else can I do with this black iron?"

"You're different, Brother Locke, your swordsmanship is much better than my dead old man's uncle. You should do my brother a favor, if he has been with you for a while and you find out that he is not the material for learning swords, then you can let him come back. El pleaded.

Lorist pondered for a while, then nodded, "Okay, if he wasn't a sword learner, I'd let him go to you." ”

Note: In Moldant City, graduate schools such as Dawn College are not just signed up, but also have to pass some simple entrance exams to confirm that students have a certain cultural foundation in order to go to school. Therefore, there are many one-year elementary colleges in the city of Moriente, just like those college entrance examination cram schools in Lorlist's previous life, which are specially designed to strengthen and consolidate the basic cultural knowledge of students, so that students can successfully pass the entrance examination and enter the big colleges.
