Chapter 21: Finalized
Kadu was a little surprised to hear his boss say this, like a man who was about to freeze to death in the middle of winter, and met a person who came to deliver carbon, but Hassan refused, he looked at Hassan with a puzzled face and said, "Boss, I heard you right." With this money, [the Temple of the God of War] will be able to bring the dead back to life. [Temple of War] But your hard work, there is such a good opportunity in front of us, we have no reason to give up. ”
I also thought it was a little strange that it would be too late for others to be happy when they saw this pie falling from the sky, so I asked Hassan: "Do you think my money is black money?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Hassan hastily denied it, saying, "How could I have such thoughts." However, as the saying goes, nothing is worth nothing. We haven't done anything for you on weekdays, so why are you embarrassed to ask you for such a large sum of money, and you deserve it. Besides, the news of the dissolution of the [Temple of War] has already been announced to the world, and we have changed our minds now, isn't it a reversal? ”
Hmph, people who want to save face. There is a saying that if you die, you will suffer with face. "Silly!" I opened my mouth and spit out a word, and the bluffing Hassan was stunned for a moment, I felt that the possibility of success in giving him this money was very small, and he could only attack from the side: "That's right, Hassan, this 'stupid' word is talking about you." You are a free donation because of me. I also have my own purpose. Let me start by asking you who will be the most proud if [the Temple of War] is now disbanded? ”
Hassan was stunned again, and Kadu reacted quickly and immediately said, "Do you still need to ask?" Naturally, it's from the [Seven Star Society]. ”
"Correct!" I aloud in agreement, and then asked them, "Do you know who I hate the most in the whole of Divinity?" ”
This answer is almost a secret known to the whole world, and Hassan replied without even thinking about it: "Naturally, it is Schilling." ”
"Isn't that the end of it?" I smirked, "I'm not going to let my most hated guy get any chance to be proud." So, [the Temple of War] must survive, and the longer it exists, the more unhappy it will be for Schilling and them, and the happier I will be. ”
When Hassan and Ka both heard this, they looked like they suddenly realized. Don't you think I'm a scumbag, and it takes so much money to give someone money. I don't even bother to explain why I give you money, because Lao Tzu has a lot of money, and it's not where to throw it. Don't charge? I'll just throw another sum of money and ask someone to draw it until you're willing to take it.
"However, it may take us a long time to repay such a large amount of money." Hassan was still a little hesitant, what an old cow.
I said lightly, "Didn't I say it earlier, I didn't mean to ask you to pay it back immediately." Or maybe that's the case, you don't have to pay it back, and I should buy a mercenary group that will always be on the same front as me. ”
Kadu also persuaded Hassan: "Boss, everyone has said so, we don't accept this money because of face problems, then it seems that we and turtledoves are too different, and even if you don't take the lead for yourself, you have to think about so many brothers in the whole group." [The Temple of the God of War] is really going to be disbanded, is it really so easy for them to find a suitable development platform and start over? ”
Hassan's face moved, and it was obvious that he was moved, after all, the future fate of hundreds of people up and down the [God of War Temple] was in his current thoughts, but he was still a little worried: "The announcement that has been sent out......"
"It's true to call you stupid." I shook my head, "Can the dissolution be just an excuse, just go directly to the management of the Corps Trade Union to apply for a name change, the people are still the same group of people, don't you change the soup or the medicine?" ”
Kadu immediately agreed: "Turtledove's method is good, just change the name, in this way [the Temple of the God of War] does not exist, but it is just a name." Man and spirit are still ever-present. ”
Hassan nodded heavily: "Yes! You can do without the name of the [Temple of the God of War], but the spirit of the [Temple of the God of War] lives on. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to me: "Turtledove, don't worry, our corps will always be on the same front with you, after all, it was you who pulled us at the most critical moment, and we will always remember this kindness." But we can't take this money for nothing, which is against the most basic principles of my life. The money will be returned to you slowly when we get through the crisis. ”
It's still to save face, but my goal has been achieved, and there is no need to shoot him with a brick again. I took out a strap directly from my waist and put it on the table: "100,000 gold coins." Take it. I don't need any IOUs, I believe in your character, and a verbal agreement is enough. I'm a person who hates trouble. ”
When both Hassan and Ka saw the bag of money, their first reaction was not to reach for it, but to look at me in surprise: "Turtledove, you are crazy." With such a large amount of money, you actually carry it with you. Not afraid of being robbed and stolen? ”
"Robbed? Stolen? I laughed, "Let me tell you, I am the only one in the world who robs others and steals from others, and the person who can rob me and steal me in turn has not yet been born." ”
Hassan and Ka both looked at each other, then took out one hand and took the bag of money into their arms: "Thank you for your kindness. In the future, your business is our business, no matter what you do, as long as you open your mouth, we will do what we can do, and create conditions to strive for what we can't do. ”
"Less nonsense. It's like a competitive model worker. I leaned back relaxedly and leaned my back against the cushion of my chair, "You better go as soon as possible and pay the money, lest you have too many dreams at night." ”
"Turtledove is right, the sooner I handed over the money, the sooner the stone in my heart landed." Kadu stood up as he spoke, and Hassan followed suit, "Then we'll go." There will be a period later. ”
I was about to wave goodbye to them, but Kadu paused and asked, "Boss Turtledove, why did you come to Kadanmo?" ”
I held out two fingers, not to make any indecent gestures, but to show them the two broken rings: "I'm here to find an NPC to fix the ring." ”
"Is that the rumored White Tiger Ring?" Kadu is very well-informed, as if he knows everything. I nodded noncommittally, and then asked, "Then what are you doing in Kadanmo?" Improving your blacksmithing? ”
Hassan nodded: "Yes, the forging level of the dwarves is the highest, and the ores and other resources needed for forging around are extremely rich, if it weren't for the trivial matters of the union, I would really like to live here for a while and study the science of forging." ”
It suddenly occurred to me that Hai Li also learned to black, and that he could open a weapons shop, so he must know a lot of masters in blacksmithing, as the saying goes, help people to the end, so I said to Hassan: "Speaking of blacksmithing, unfortunately I happen to know a master." He is Hai Li, the owner of the War Horn Weapons Specialty Store at No. 28 Hammer Lane, Forge District, Kadama City, if you plan to further your studies in blacksmithing, you can go to him, as long as you report my name, he should not refuse you. ”
"Hey, turtledove, we owe you a favor again, and I don't know if we will pay it off in our lifetime." Hassan sighed, seemingly a little emotional.
I snorted, then teased him, "It's really hard to pay it off, you can make a promise in person, haha." ”
In my exaggerated laughter, both of them had "cold" expressions on their faces.
"Without further ado, we'll go on the road, let's synchronize the sound stone before leaving, and it will be convenient to contact you in the future." Both of them pulled out the Voice Stone. After the three of them put the stones together and finished synchronizing, they went their separate ways. They went to pay the money, and I asked for directions, and then went straight to the palace of the dwarf king. I'm certainly not going to spy on Lohadika's concubines taking a bath, but I'm going to find Dembal, the dwarven jewel master. However, it is still a question of whether you can get in, and the king's palace is not a place where you can just walk around with your feet up. So, I had to do some preparations.
