Lolana set a trap in the conditions she made for dinner with the Golden Spotter, tearing a gap between the various forces that Roger had gathered. 【Starter】

Since ancient times, robbers have robbed for money, and except for a few psychopaths, no one will have trouble with money. The robbers of the brown hills are fierce, but they are not fools without brains. Blackbeard's mistake made many people think about it, and they finally realized that the Istalon people are not fat sheep to be slaughtered. But it was a little reluctant to let them go like this, so buying road money became a mutually acceptable choice.

To be sure, six thousand gold coins was not a lot of money in a bustling city like Ixtalen, and the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce had more than that amount in its heyday. But in a place like the brown hills, it is enough to make the blood brothers draw their swords and meet each other.

For the two forces of the Poison Widow and the Gold Spotter, it is a great thing that they can get money for nothing without consuming their own strength, even if it is the share after sharing. But for Roger, who wants to ascend to the throne, this money is far from enough for him to establish prestige.

None of the great men who can grow up in the brownland hills are good, and although Roger uses his power to bring everyone together, it is almost impossible to unite them. Blackbeard doesn't listen to advice, Roger doesn't mind tricking him, and now he needs to challenge the Istalon to establish his authority, and the Poison Widow and the Gold Bearer are happy to sit and watch the tiger fight. If the ghost wolf suffers serious damage, the two of them can take the opportunity to become bigger.

Of course, the cooperation between robbers cannot promote any good virtues, it is nothing more than success and defeat. Lolana is left with a dilemma, and Roger is worthy of being able to bring down Blackbeard, so he finds a third way to solve the problem - kicking the ball back.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of a story of robbers buying fat sheep with money, and Roger's strange trick has an immediate effect. Because there had never been such a ridiculous example before, even Lorana was momentarily shocked and didn't know what to do.

"What's the use of us asking for gold coins? Not to mention 30,000, even 300,000 gold coins can't be eaten. And we don't have to get involved in their own black disputes. ”

After Roger left, Lolana immediately expressed her negative opinion on this. However, El hesitated about this, he knew that Lorana's analysis was correct, but Roger's words spoke to his heart.

"We don't lack money, but we lack horses. El smiled bitterly.

Istalon is close to the foot of the Yunlu Mountains, and there is no shortage of horses. With the exception of the three knights of the White Lion family, almost every Istalon warrior has undergone formal equestrian training. El's troops were once all cavalry, but they were unable to salvage enough mounts in the disaster.

Not all horses can be called war horses, and untrained pack horses can only be used to pull carts, otherwise they will cause trouble for their own people. After the co-ordination and looting of the town of Lille, and the selfless devotion of the horse thieves after entering the browned hills, El's cavalry was barely close to three hundred men up to now, a figure that was too pitiful for the needs of the exile army as a whole.

"Without horses, we can think of other ways than to fight tigers. Lolana still insisted on her own ideas, unfazed by Roger's conditions: "After all, we are enemies on opposite sides, and no matter how tempting the price he offers, it is impossible for us to think of us." The higher the price, the greater the danger. ”

Lolana herself is a master of fishing, so naturally she will not eat other people's bait. Although I don't know what tricks Roger wants to do, as long as he doesn't accept the tricks on his side, he has no way, which is called desirelessness and rigidity.

"I think Roger is well aware of that, so he's definitely going to be ready to convince me of the reasons. El pouted his teeth, the expression on his face was entangled for a long time, and he picked up two stones from the ground.

The battle between Palanti and Thea was already in full swing, and the two of them took two steps back after a moment of entanglement. Palanti leaned down and pressed the foil in his hand to make a flash sword move, and the armor on Thea's body also changed significantly, and bone blades that shimmered with cold light began to grow at the knee and elbow joints. If there is no accident, the two of them will be separated from life and death in the next moment.

At that moment, two stones flew from the side and smashed exactly on the heads of the two men, and Palanti and Thea screamed in unison, covering their heads and looking at El sitting on the side with tears in their eyes.

"That's it for today, and it's going to go on tomorrow!" El said with a blank face.

"Eh, wait a minute, you're clearly favoritism, I'm going to clean up this little girl soon!" exclaimed Thea unconvinced, with her hands on her hips. She and Palanti were not about the same strength, so they had to be so engrossed in the fight that they didn't even notice Roger's arrival.

"You just have the ability to brag. Palanti put away his sword and said with a cold snort. Compared with Thea, she seems to be more confident. Although the strength of the two men is almost the same, Palanti is a warrior of the regular army, and he has more combat experience than Thea. In a one-on-one head-to-head confrontation, he has always had the upper hand.

Thea basically has no combat experience, but her body's reaction speed is extremely sharp, and her learning ability should not be underestimated, these are all manifestations of the "adaptation to the battlefield" trait of the Earth Walker, but the changes in her are not too obvious. If it were the pure-blooded Earthwalker warriors who had fought against Isttalen, they would have evolved protection against Palanti's sword attacks during the battle, and she didn't seem to have fully awakened this bloodline talent yet.

El was in no mood to pay attention to the two little girls' anger at each other, and when he returned to the camp, he took Lolana to the tent where Tiana was on business, and once again sought the advice of the magician girl.

"I don't think it's a good idea either, any promises made by the robbers are not to be trusted. Tiana put down the quill, looked at El and sighed, "But what we need more now than the war horse is medicine. After these days of travel, fatigue and excessive shock, many of the refugees have begun to fall ill. As of today, the number of patients has increased to hundreds, and the number is rising. ”

"Don't we have a sacrifice?" El asked, confused.

"Our sacrifice can't take care of so many sick people. With a tired look on her face, Tiana shook her head and said, "I sent someone to the settlement to invite their witch doctor to come, according to their witch doctor, these patients are unable to bear the influence of the harsh environment to fall ill, only a herb special to the brown soil hills can cure this symptom, but ...... You also know that there is almost no grass in this place, and we simply can't find enough herbs nearby. ”

"How many herbs do you need?" El asked in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"At least three hundred pounds. Tiana looked him in the eye and said plainly.

El had been wondering if Roger had made such a ridiculous proposal, but he couldn't figure out why Roger would say yes. Now he finally knew the answer - it was this batch of medicinal herbs.

The indigenous people of the brownland hills have long since adapted to the ecology of the area, and naturally do not pay attention to this herb, but for the refugees of Istalen, it is the key to saving lives. And in this barren land, only Roger has the ability to mobilize a large number of people to collect herbs.

"Maybe we can think of something else?" said Lorana, a little reluctantly, but she knew in her heart that it was unlikely. Tiana was also proficient in pharmacy, and if she couldn't think of any other way, she wouldn't have been able to conjure flowers out of thin air.

"Well, in that case, let's hear what that guy has to say. El nodded, making a reluctant decision.

Early the next morning, El and the two little girls returned to the open space from yesterday, sat down and announced that the game would continue. This time he didn't take Lorana with him, because it was a conversation between two men, and sometimes rational opinions didn't necessarily have a positive effect.

It wasn't long before he heard Roger's footsteps coming from behind him. This time, perhaps Roger and several other bigwigs reached a compromise, so he did not hide his whereabouts and walked over generously.

"What do you want me to do for you?" asked El in a low voice, turning his head to the side.

"It's not just you, it's your team. Roger took a silver flask from his bosom, took a sip from his head, and handed it to El, while saying, "I need a silver-ranked master, plus a well-disciplined and powerful team, to help me unlock a secret treasure." ”

"Whose treasure?" El asked curiously.

"The Legacy Treasure of the King of Thieves. Roger patted the golden scimitar on his waist and cracked his mouth and laughed: "This was originally the inheritance that Blackbeard mastered, but he couldn't find it, and he couldn't trust other helpers, so he was helpless." But I'm lucky enough to meet you, an outsider. I believe that with sufficient benefits, we can work together once. ”

"Sounds interesting. El shrugged his shoulders and took the flask, turned his head to look into Roger's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "But I'm going to try your knife first." ”

"That's what I mean. Roger laughed. (Go read OM) (Jiangsu.com)
