Chapter Thirty-Seven: For the Gold and the Woman
The bearded dwarf picked up the five gold coins from the ground, and the dwarf, who had always been known for his irascible and honest, smiled treacherously, exactly like the expression of the child in front of him, like two foxes squinting and talking together about how to eat more fresh meat.
"Little friend, do you know that there are two iron rules in the town of Kabul that are more solemn than the law?"
The drunken dwarf whispered with a flushed face, and easily swept the battle axe he was holding, and the golden lion head on it opened its bloody mouth, this pattern alone has explained a lot of problems, as long as the discerning person knows at a glance that this is a killing weapon that only a high-level alchemist can create.
"The first is not to mess with the Apocalypse Tavern and Kort's Light, and the second one"
The smile on the bearded dwarf's face was even worse, and he took the board axe and gently patted the plank that Li Laifu was leaning on.
"Thou shalt not offend the plank that separates chaos from peace, so ah, my friend, I can take your task, but I must find a way to get me out of this stinking mercenary guild. β
"Oh, that's right. β
Li Laifu also smiled, unlike the treacherous smile of the dwarf, his smile was helpless or flesh pain?
"I don't know if this board will be worth a lot"
Li Laifu sighed, and stroked this old wooden guy with his left hand, the rugged and mottled surface was pitted, just like the old faces of some nobles who often wore deep smiles.
In his right hand, he took out a turquoise dagger.
"I reckon it's expensive, because it's just a plank of wood that binds everyone between the two powers, the Apocalypse Tavern and the Light of Kurt. β
The bearded dwarf twitched with a grief from his distressed face, he was not a native of the town of Kabul, but he was a regular visitor to the Kurt Light Mercenary Guild, and he knew how deep and terrifying the origin of this plank was.
Smiling Swordmaster Kurt's advice before leaving this world: Don't destroy the extreme that separates light and darkness, and the continent will suffer as a result.
For so many years, the people of the small town of Kabul have revered the wooden plank between the Apocalypse Tavern and the Kurt Light Mercenary Guild, because in their eyes, this is the protagonist of the god-like and powerful Kurt's advice before leaving, and this wooden board also shows his extraordinary, there is an immortal legend that will be an unyielding challenger, once there was a kingdom royal magician who traveled thousands of miles from his kingdom to Kabul, and deceived the mayor of Kabul at the time, saying that he was a bard and wanted to see the legendary smiling swordmaster'Extreme', to bring inspiration to his creation, and when he saw this rotten and old wood, he actually began to chant a powerful sixth-order thunder magic. Thunder Flare's spell, everyone didn't expect him to suddenly attack, the Apocalypse Tavern and the Kurt Light Mercenary Guild, which were wantonly destroyed in the endless lightning and thunder, suffered great damage, and after the roar, it was a mess, countless precious magic crystals and the special rum sealed in them were all destroyed, but what was shocking was that this wooden board still stood between the two like a mountain, without the slightest appearance of receiving a blow, powerful and the most aggressive lightning sixth-order magic did not even lift a cent of dust on itγ
But it is obvious that these amazing legends are not widely circulated, at least this great noble heir from the outside should be an unlearned guy, and he doesn't care what advice and peace is, for Li Laifu now, it is enough to beat down the group of clowns in sacred robes, you know, he is a mad dog.
The bearded dwarf saw the dagger in Li Laifu's right hand, and shook his head disdainfully, his eyes contained disappointment, and the group of mercenaries behind him had already raised the wine glass overflowing with inferior white rum again, and did not forget to laugh at the ignorance and ridiculousness of this little boy with convulsions.
I guess he's also a bastard aristocrat who only shows off his might on a woman's belly, right?
The dwarf thinks so, because the dagger is called the favorite friend of the assassin and the killer, because although this small and delicate weapon is flexible and as dangerous as the fangs of a poisonous snake, imagine that a vigorous shadow suddenly appeared in the dark night, the dagger in the hand bloomed with cold light, and the hand pierced the heart of the target with a blow, and the killer hidden in the dark night with blood overflowed turned around and left, hiding his merit and fame, how free and easy, but all this is due to the unique fantasy of human beings, the dagger is a weak little blade, it can't withstand too much wind and waves, and a killer with extraordinary strength is like a butcher in the dark night, which makes people frightened, and the shallow and ugly killer who can only scare people with a dagger, it is estimated that even killing a pheasant will be pecked back. If Li Laifu took out a huge Mithril axe, he might still be able to think that at least this kid still has some brute strength, but now does he want to use the dagger to smooth the edges and corners of this legendary plank?
Thinking of the strange scene of the noble heir squatting on the ground and caressing the wooden board with affection, even the bearded dwarf couldn't help but be impressed by his rich imagination, and he laughed, but after a while, his laughter turned into a terrible wail, accompanied by the dust in the sky, a rotten wooden board smashed on his feet, and the dwarf's natural pair of eyes, which were originally as bright as magic lamps, became even larger, making Li Laifu more worried about whether they would abandon their eye sockets and fall to the ground.
"Go and help, my heretical friends, or I will have the right to take back my commission. β
Li Laifu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the wooden board lying in the dust, showed a wry smile, and muttered.
"I know the legend, I know that the tragic archmage died silently, and I know how expensive this plank is. β
Li Laifu was chilling behind his back, and he knew that someone was eyeing him.
But so what, just like this plank half lying in the Apocalypse Tavern, and the other half lying in the Kurt's Light Mercenary Guild, no matter how you make it up, it's dead anyway.
What's more, what exactly happened, even he himself didn't know.
As if at a suffocating moment, Li Laifu felt that his right hand was being grasped, and then he took the quenched dagger and slashed it fiercely, and the result was that the wooden plank that was recited as tough and magnificent as a mountain simply collapsed.
What the hell is going on? Wanting someone to answer for sure, he turned around and saw a shivering waiter in the Apocalypse Tavern, Kurt Seth.
The bearded dwarf seemed to be stunned, and stood in place for a short time, but in just a short time, the group of mercenaries behind him had already picked up weapons and shouted and rushed towards the clergy who were regarded as authority in the Eternal Continent, they were not benevolent believers, as long as there were enough gold coins, these people could spill blood like slayers, or raise the sword in their hands against the so-called spiritual leader, or respect for the strong, undoubtedly from the bottom of everyone's heart, without any brainwashing admonition and prayer.
There was fear and respect in the eyes of the bearded dwarf, and there was no doubt that the owner of this honor was a nobleman named Li Laifu, and sighed, this guy whose height was not proportional to his strength finally raised the battle axe in his hand and shouted: "For the gold coins and women!"
