Chapter 157: Expired Chips
"My master told me, my lord. γFull text readingγ" Xinong replied respectfully.
"Why didn't he come?"
"My master is not in the city now, he left a long time ago. β
"That's ......," Anthony smiled, "Then tell your master what you want to talk about, let him come and talk to me in person, okay, you can go." β
Xinong was stunned for a moment: "Understood, sir." β
"Wait!" exclaimed Mike, who was sitting on the side, his lips trembling slightly, the bruises on his neck showing his neck, and he looked like he was already excited, and he didn't know what could have stimulated him to this.
"My lord, are you okay?" asked Xinon in surprise, his attitude, his gaze was very sincere, no one could see anything unusual from Xinong's expression, because he really didn't know anything.
"You just said that your master told you to relay this news to Lord Anthony, and that your master left White Mountain City a long time ago?" Mike snapped.
"Yes, sir. β
"You're not lying?!" Mike's voice raised a few degrees more.
"I can swear I'm not lying, my lord!"
Anthony was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, revealing a look of extreme shock, they had just received the news that the Dark Moon Magic Legion was trapped at the foot of the Suago Mountains, and the king of the Mao Empire, Yoland, was not dead, and this ordinary person in front of him actually learned this top-secret news a long time ago, what does it mean? It means that if they meet this ordinary person as soon as possible, they can save the fate of Newinnheim, the fate of the Dark Moon Magic Legion, and it can even be said that they can save the fate of an empire! This causal relationship is so significant that Anthony, who has not changed his color after the collapse of Tarzan, involuntarily changes color.
"Then why didn't you come to see us earlier? You have to delay it until now?" Mike stood up suddenly, he was the master of the condolence group sent by the Allison Empire to the country of mercenaries, second only to Newinnheim's palace archmagician Mike, who rushed to White Mountain City to discuss countermeasures with Anthony, but before the matter could be properly discussed, he received the bad news that his old friend Newinnheim was trapped in the Suago Mountains, and now he knew that there was a chance to save these crises, so his emotions became uncontrollable.
"My lord, my master sent someone to tell me the news three days ago, and asked me to come to Lord Anthony, I didn't know about it before!"
"What about three days ago? Why didn't you come?"
"I've been here before. β
"What???" Anthony and Mike exclaimed in unison, and Mike gave Anthony a quick glance, which made Anthony feel embarrassed, as if he had deliberately concealed the news and did not report it.
"Don't talk nonsense, Sinon, how did I not know you were three days ago?" said Anthony.
"Xinong, don't be afraid, tell me what happened, don't worry, I'll call the shots for you!" Mike also followed, but the subconscious of his words had the flavor of-for-tat with Anthony.
"Of course you haven't seen me, Lord Anthony, and your doorman won't let me in at all, and I've told them again and again that I have something of great importance to see you, but they don't believe me, and tell me to tell them first. Xinon showed a very helpless look: "But my master has warned me that I must tell the adult about the matter in person, and I must not tell anyone about it, my master said that this matter is too important, and no one can be trusted except Lord Anthony." β
Mike sat weakly in his chair, and the embarrassment on Anthony's face turned into crying, the matter was already very clear, but who could he blame? In any case, he was also the leader of a super mercenary group, not anyone who wanted to see him, Xinon was just an ordinary person to the extreme, who would have thought that he had such an important top secret? It was reasonable for the guards to refuse Xinon's request.
"I came for three days in a row, and I never saw the adults, I felt very anxious, and then I told the master's messenger about it, and the master's messenger smiled bitterly and said, It is really easy for the god of light to see, but the bishop of light is too difficult, he has no choice, he gave me a dozen gold coins, and asked me to hand them over to the guards, saying that this way they will not make it difficult, after all, no one will spend a dozen gold coins to joke. Xinon continued: "The master's messenger also said that we should have been rewarded by the adults for such important news, but who knew that we should have spent money, which is ridiculous, and the master's messenger also said that he would advise the master not to do such foolish things again." β
Mike snorted coldly, Anthony also felt a burst of heat on his face, the thing is obvious, the other party's owner knows that the news is too important, and he can't reach an agreement on the issue of interests in a short time, so he simply made a big gamble, betting that he Anthony is not the one who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, but he Anthony has not said anything until now, and forced the other party to consume, which is a bit of a scoundrel!
"Didn't your master say what he hoped for?" asked Anthony slowly.
"My master said he wanted a promise from Mistress Anthony. β
"What
No?"
"The host didn't say it. β
Anthony was silent for a long time: "Okay, I promise! You can tell your master that if he encounters any difficulties, as long as he finds me Anthony, I will definitely help and never break my word!" Anthony did not say anything, but promised to solve the problem for the mysterious man.
"Thank you, Mistress Anthony. β
"But you'll have to tell me your master's name first?" asked Anthony tentatively.
"His name is the judge. β
"Judge?"
That's what the Judge means. β
"What a majestic name. Anthony forced a smile: "If I have something to look for your master, I just need to look for you?"
"Yes. β
"Oh well. Anthony nodded: "But the place where you live is a little unsafe, I will send some people to protect you, please rest assured, I don't want to spy on you, but I'm afraid that you will have an accident." β
"I understand, thank you, Mistress Anthony. β
"Also, Xinong, how many times have you found this place, and the guards you met were all the same people?"
"Yes. β
Anthony was silent for a moment and shouted, "Someone!"
As soon as the words fell, two mercenaries walked in from outside the door together: "My lord!"
"Who's watching the door these days?"
"It's Jacob's team. β
"Let Jacob come in and see me!"
The two mercenaries turned around and walked out, and in a short time, a middle-aged mercenary hurriedly walked in and said respectfully: "My lord, you called me something?"
"Jacob, did you make a small fortune today?" Anthony's temperament has changed drastically, just now he was a harmless ordinary person, and in the blink of an eye, he has become a murderous and cold man from the scalp to the soles of his feet, and the cold light that bursts out of his eyes is even brighter than the sword light: "Tell me, how much did you earn?"
Jacob scolded Sinong in his heart for being too unsophisticated, but he didn't dare to be slacking off in his actions, so he knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I ...... The villain received fifteen gold coins, my lord, it's not the villain who wants to collect it, it's he who must give it to the villain!"
"Put him on death row for me!" Anthony's bland words decided Jacob's fate in the blink of an eye.
"My lord, I was wronged, he must give the villain gold coins, adults don't believe it, you can ask him......"
Before Jacob's words could be finished, Anthony had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, and a dazzling sword swept through, splitting Jacob into two pieces like cutting tofu, and when the blood flower had just bloomed, Anthony had already put his sword into the sheath and sat there like a nobody.
Xinong was startled by the scene of blood flying, and hurriedly lowered his head, after all, he was just an ordinary person, and he was still a little scared when he saw this scene.
"If you dare to quibble, then I'll give you a good time. Anthony said slowly, "You go and put Jacob's team on death row immediately, and wait for my orders to deal with it." β
"Yes, my lord!" the two mercenaries replied neatly, and left the living room again.
"You, go and tell the housekeeper of the inner treasury to fetch five hundred gold coins. Anthony waved his hand.
The young woman who looked like a maid on the side hurriedly walked through the side door, and a moment later, an old man of about sixty years of age hurriedly walked in, followed by a young mercenary, five hundred gold coins were very heavy, and an old man could not hold them.
A small box with a length and width of about thirty centimeters was opened by the old man, and it was full of yellow and clear gold coins, which were very dazzling under the illumination of the ever-bright lamp, Anthony looked at the gold coins, smiled and said: "Xinong, these are my thanks, thank you for my master." β
"This ......" Xinon was dumbfounded.
"It's not for you, it's for your master, you can take it back with confidence, there are people with me to protect you, and no one dares to beat your idea." β
"Thank you, sir. β
"Anthony, if it wasn't for the mistake, we should have gotten the news three days ago, do you think the Darkmoon Magic Legion and Lord Newinnheim are only worth five hundred gold coins?" said Mike, who vented all his anger on Anthony, and even laughed at Anthony's stinginess, and this was also a generous gesture of others, and it had nothing to do with him.
"It's my fault. Anthony didn't care, he hesitated, as if unintentionally, and asked, "Sinon, what weapon does your master use?"
Xinon thought for a moment, and remembered the sword that cut the rope when he hanged himself: "The master uses a long sword. β
"It just so happens that I have a Black Flame Sword here, which is said to have been forged for humans by the Dwarven Forge Master during the Holy War, so give this sword to your master. Anthony waved his hand again.
Mike heard Anthony's intentions, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, the mysterious man used a long sword, and he was a little eyebrow-raising, according to Xinong, Xinong's master left Baishan City more than ten days ago, and if he made some effort to investigate, he might be able to find out something.
