Chapter 6: The Thief's Business (Part II)
Before coming to face the Shormara, Hakuya had already spent a lot of money and the intelligence dealer to learn about this man who loved gold too much, not only his golden ponytail, gold earrings, and gold rings, but also his love for gold coins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
But it is such a seemingly vulgar and unbearable guy, but it is unpredictable for intelligence traffickers.
In the mouth of the pyrotechnic merchant, Shamara is an innocent friend, laughing and sometimes grimacing the strange scarecrow dance of his hometown whenever fireworks burst into the night sky.
In the eyes of his subordinates, he is a short-tempered and moody leader who will punch and kick his subordinates at every turn.
In the eyes of his lover, he was an indulgent fool, arrogant, and hypocritical.
But what worries Hakuya the most is what his enemies say about him, who says that Shamara is a demon with a pathological obsession with torture and killing, and that his eyes are like poisoned daggers that will be fleshed and deboned if he targets them.
At this moment, Bai Ye looked at the man laughing loudly in front of him, and couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.
Shamoro touched his gold earrings and walked to the window, his back to the white night. At some point, a light snow fell outside the window.
"I'll admit that what you're saying makes a lot of sense, and I'm very excited about this deal......"
Bai Ye stood up excitedly and said busily: "It's great that adults can say this, we are willing to pay 2 percent...... No, 3% of the income is given to your thieves' union, so you have to cooperate smoothly, and you must make more money. β
"However, I have to refuse. β
"What?"
Bai Ye looked at this man who was treated to him in disbelief, and for a while he was like a fish in his throat.
Shamoro stretched out one of his palms, and the candlelight behind him and the cold light in front of the window blended on the ring on his finger, exuding an indescribable streamer.
"You calculated everything well, but you overlooked one of the most important things, which is the law of survival of this thief guild, and the most important reason why we are strong. Although the Thieves' Guild is a worldwide guild alongside the Mercenary Guild, it has a strong background and power, even in this small Grey Raven Castle, a branch of our Thieves' Guild has the ability to compete with any gang, and you naturally fancy this. But the way we do business between thieves and mercenaries is completely different, as long as the price is right, the mercenaries do not care what the skills of the employer are, and what kind of dangerous tasks they are willing to undertake. At the end of the day, they live off the weakness of their employers. β
"And for the Thieves' Guild, our rule of survival is to only cooperate with the strong, this is the purpose established by the great sage Alessandro Victoria, who founded this union 70 years ago, and you may have heard her story, although she has unparalleled sword skills and shadow skills, but because she was on the wrong side, she supported the Grand Duke Manedins of the Azure Duchy who tried to usurp the throne, and finally ended up being beheaded, only to escape from the Duchy, wander the world, and become a worthless thief. Since then, she has firmly believed that no matter how powerful a sword or martial arts are, it is not enough to change the trajectory of the world, and only serving the strong is the survival law of thieves. β
"But," Bai Ye clenched his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "How do you judge, we are the weak." β
Shamora turned his head and looked at Bai Ye, who couldn't restrain his face full of anger, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Look at your current appearance, isn't it because you can't control your emotions because of your lack of ability, this kind of powerless anger is a manifestation of the weak." β
Bai Ye lowered his head, no longer allowing Shamora to see his expression, but in the wine glass, his face was still reflected in frustration.
"I know that although you are a vagabond, you have your own ambitions, and dare to talk in front of me, which is far from what those little beggars who cower in the streets can do, although Lumir did not say it, but I think he admires you in his heart, so he is willing to help you mediate. But if you want to do business with thieves, courage and courage are not enough. I have just tempted you to bring Bliss and the others to me, and your answer, though clever, exposes the fact that you lack cards. No matter what skills Bliss and his three brothers had, they would probably have to hide in a dark corner like a shrunken mouse. It's a clever thing to do, and more than one gang has asked me to help them find where you're hiding. β
"What!" Bai Ye looked up sharply.
"But don't worry, I turned them down. What kind of impact the appearance of sΓ©ance powder will have on Grey Raven Castle is probably far beyond your imagination. I can't see who is the one who is worth cooperating with now. So, the only thing I can do at the moment is to stay out of the situation and watch things unfold. I'm willing to tell you this, and I hope you won't be disliked by my refusal and regard the Thieves' Guild as an enemy. Maybe one day, when you have enough strength to contend with the major gangs, we will be the one who will upset the balance and let the balance of victory and defeat tilt in your favor. β
However, who can guarantee that your weight will not be tilted against my enemies. Bai Ye secretly sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he also calmed down, he stood up and bowed to Shamala: "No matter what, I still want to thank Lord Shamoro for giving me this opportunity, and I hope that Lord Shamoro will not blame Lumir, he also arranged this meeting for the sake of this thief union." β
"It's nature. β
"But," Bai Ye straightened up, and suddenly his expression turned grim, and he looked at Shamala with a resolute expression: "Before leaving, I must also correct my lord, we are by no means so downcast that we are hiding in the sewers like shrunken rats. It's true that we are not strong, but when it comes to strength, we also have a little bit of it, Heavenly Evil!"
The door of the tavern was slammed open, and a howling cold wind carried the ice and snow through the door, and a tall, shirtless black-haired man slowly walked in, his dark green pupils gradually dissolved strangely, spreading into the whites of his eyes, and his whole eyes turned a cloudy dark green, like a boiling green lake.
"Your Excellency!" Lumir broke through the window, holding two daggers crossed in front of Shamoro, his coat covered in snow and broken glass, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, this guy is moving too fast, I don't know where to get out, I don't have time to react." The sentry we planted outside, but for some reason there was no response. β
Heavenly Evil stretched out a hand, holding a fragment of a blade in his palm, he poured it to the floor, and his voice was as cold as the ice and snow of winter: "Those street rats, I have already let them rest, adults don't mind." β
