"What? You'd rather die than refuse to pay the ransom, wouldn't you? 「

What?! Carlos looked at the black-haired boy at the head of the city in disbelief, and his thoughts were confused.

The young man's proper smile had disappeared from the beginning to the end, and he looked angry when he heard his request.

The current situation was completely unexpected, as a former general, of course he had thought that the day he might lose, it could be in a battle against the invasion of humans in the Eastern Continent, or it could be from the civil war in the Western Continent caused by the betrayal of the demons, but he didn't expect to lose in this little-known Black Stone Island.

It was defeated so completely, so quickly.

Underestimating the enemy, yes, seriously underestimating the enemy, insufficient intelligence, contempt for the opponent, arrogance of oneself, etc., are the reasons for this defeat.

Although there are still two thousand horsemen led by Black Wind in the underground passage, Carlos has no hope at this moment, after the last time, no matter how sluggish the other party is, it is impossible not to defend the underground, if there is even one tower in the firepower underground, it is not something that the cavalry can compete, because there is no way to hide in the narrow passage, not to mention the kind of sacrificial monster in the last report.

What evil gods, what sacrifices. It's ridiculous that I thought it was Hei Feng's excuse for failure, but it turned out that from the beginning of choosing not to believe, he was doomed to failure.

It's all true, Carlos is so remorseful for the first time in thirty years.

In any case, as a general, he has already realized that no matter what happens underground, he will fight until the last moment, shed the last drop of blood, and die on the battlefield with dignity.

But the development of events was once again beyond expectations, and the other party, with an absolute crushing posture, emptied his troops, did not humiliate him or promise to give him a dignified death.

But... Ask for money.

He saw that the young owner of the island had already gotten up from the gorgeous chair on the head of the city, and pointed to himself and counted it, what he owed not to give, what to live and die, how to choose to be an old man at such an age, what to eat, lodging, pay and pay taxes...

Carlos only felt that his brain was blank, and he couldn't hear what the other party was saying at all, anyway, there was no repetition, and he now began to wonder if it was really as the other party said, and this matter was also a matter of "paying".

I have always thought that this incident was a deliberate provocation by the other party, a confrontation between the old and new forces, although it was caused by his unsuccessful nephew, but from the moment the other party chose to detain him, he chose to declare war with him.

It's just to step on him to get on the throne, since he chooses to provoke, then it is normal to lead troops to attack the other party, which is a common thing in this western continent that advocates force.

It is normal for various forces to fight privately.

But on such a scale, it can already be regarded as immortal, even if the entire other party is not destroyed, the principal should be killed before it ends.

The other party Balabala said a lot, and it didn't seem that he meant to kill himself? Just to ask for money??? He is not afraid of retaliation?

Hey... I don't think there's anything to be afraid of... That's fine.

"Hey, what about you, you can't pretend not to hear because you're so old, right? In the end, it is okay to speak. 「

"Ahh Well? Okay..."Carlos finally came to his senses and looked at the young man at the head of the city with a complicated expression.

"Harm, if you are willing to pay the money, you said it earlier, you are a guest from afar, please let me do my best to be a landlord, why do you want to hold a banquet and warm reception." Still stunned for what, let's go. 「

A smile appeared on the young islander's face again, Carlos swore that he had never seen a person in his life who changed his face so quickly and had such a strange personality, he was completely confused, and unconsciously fell on the head of the city, and followed the other party into the car, and drove towards the castle, and when he came back to his senses, he had already sat down at the table of the Black Rock Castle and had already begun to drink.

Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Carlos: ......

………

In addition to the nickname, the legendary general Carlos visited Blackstone Island, and during his visit to the island, he conducted a friendly joint defense exercise with the lord's guard, and the storm team led the adventurers to successfully meet the oracle... Do you want a copy of the Blackstone Evening News, sir?

Only 3 copper coins.

A one-eyed Rhine man accompanied an old man of the same clan on the newly opened commercial street of Black Rock Island.

The gray-haired old man Rhine suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and beckoned to the newsboy on the street, "Little one, bring me one."

"Okay, here you go, here's your newspaper and change." The little newspaper boy quickly took a newspaper and change out.

The old man looked at the ragged halfling child kindly, "You don't need to make change, it's a tip."

"Thank you, old man, you are a blessed man, may death protect you." The newsboy happily put the money away, bowed, and left.

Looking at the figure of the newsboy's departure, the old man thoughtfully, and then took the big man, into the tavern next to him, because it was not a meal, there were not many people in the tavern, the whole wooden decoration was simple and rough, and it also exuded the aroma of wood, it should be newly made and newly renovated, with the warm light called the electric light by the islanders, although the whole environment was slightly simple but there was a warm feeling.

The old man looked around carefully with surprise and then nodded, obviously very satisfied with the accident here, the big man was a lot more casual, he didn't say anything about the details of the environment, he focused all his attention on the safety of the old man.

After ordering two servings of food at the counter, the two of them randomly found a corner by the window and sat down to read the newspaper.

The big man frowned slightly and sat crampedly opposite the old man, and he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't help but ask, until the old man turned to the last page of this reading material, which the islanders called a newspaper.

"Lord Wallace, aren't we here to receive the goods?"

"yes, isn't it that the appointed time has not arrived?"

"Well, I mean, why don't you just go to the castle, they'll be sure to arrange room and board for you."

The old man did not rush to answer, but handed the newspaper in his hand to the one-eyed man sitting opposite him, and the big man took the newspaper suspiciously and read it.

The more I read, the more frightened I became, and when I saw that I was sweating profusely at the back, I said to the old man incredulously, "They... How dare they release anything publicly?! Not only can he write about private fights by force, but he also openly and boldly preaches cult information! How dare they?! …「

At this time, the beautiful rabbit-eared waiter came to the table with two meals, and the big man immediately fell silent.

"Two gentlemen, this is your two-point set meal, please use it slowly." With that, he put two servings of chicken curry rice on the table, this peculiar dish not only has a strange and fragrant appearance, but also has two delicate sweet breads as desserts that come with the meal.

After finishing the meal, I didn't forget to add, "I wish you a happy meal." And he turned and left.

The old man was a little surprised to see this unfamiliar dish, and he couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and take a bite, and when the rice soaked in the golden curry sauce entered the mouth, the old man's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Lord Wallace! What's wrong with you?! The big man immediately got up and was about to draw his saber, but the old man hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"Whew~ It's delicious~ Andrew quickly put the knife away, it's really not like words, eat, eat."

"Uh..." The one-eyed man who was called Andrew by the old man put away his knife with a little embarrassment, sat down and picked up the spoon suspiciously, and scooped a spoonful of curry rice with golden juice and sent it to his mouth.

All the flavors exploded in his mouth, rich in layers, constantly stimulating the taste buds, and Andrew only felt that in an instant, the whole person felt as if he was immersed in this world called curry!

I was stunned there.

After a while, Andrew came to his senses, waved his arms separately, the spoon flew up and down without stopping, spoonful after spoonful to his mouth, his cheeks were stuffed and bulging, and he shook from time to time, and at first glance, his whole face seemed to be bigger.

After a while, a plate full of curry chicken rice was sent to his stomach, and Andrew wiped the sweat on his face with his hand and shouted to the waiter, "Five more, oh no, ten more curry chicken rice!"

Andrew seems to have been subjected to some kind of essence

Divine power spell, and finally ate a full twenty servings of curry chicken rice in the surprised eyes of the surrounding diners before he touched his stomach and burped contentedly.

The old man had already finished eating the portion in front of him, and while drinking a cup of fruit tea, he looked at the big man opposite with a smile.

Andrew scratched his head as if he realized something, "It's a gaffe, and it makes Lord Wallace laugh." Fu said with a solemn face: "This food is so delicious, this Black Rock Island is full of weirdness, how can things here always break common sense, sir. It's so wicked, I suspect that this food has been magical, so let's leave." After speaking, he looked at the remaining curry juice on the plate a little reluctantly, and swallowed his saliva.

"Hahaha," the old man laughed heartily and said soothingly, "The food is indeed quite delicious, but there is no evil magic. As for what you say about breaking common sense, I have a question for you."

"If you ask, my lord, I will know everything."

The old man nodded, stroked his beard, and asked with a smile, "Well, what do you think of this island along the way, such as the people and things here?"

"Everyone seems to be busy, and there is an indescribable frenzy, suspected of being bewitched by evil gods." Dahan frowned and said with some uncertainty.

"Hahaha, anything else?" The old man continued.

"Hmm... Also, there are too many kinds of races on the island, and there seem to be almost all human races here, so when you enter the island, there is a guard passing by, do you remember? I felt the breath of an elf there. You know, I'm very sensitive to breath, it's weird, they get along, they get along, they get along

"Well, you're very observant Andrew, my child, your first answer is actually what you see is what is called hope, and people only have hope in their hearts and eyes with light.

Your second answer is that you actually see order.

So what do you think of the evil gods in the mouths of the islanders?"

"Ah! You mean!" Andrew's eyes widened in disbelief.

(It's on the shelves, I'm a little apprehensive, asking for tickets, asking for collections, asking for comments)
