"I never talk to pastors about ideals, too far, too big, too vain. Siegel picked up his knife and fork with his leather gloves, served a pan-fried fish on a plate in front of him, scooped up the mashed potatoes and tore a piece of bread. He lightly sprinkled salt grains on the food, as if he were making some kind of work of art. "I just like what I can see and touch. ”

"The reality is brutal but real. Dorn said.

I agree with that. Siegel put down the dishes and clapped softly. "I'm not going to be a believer in the God of Murder, so Priest Dorne, you can save your effort. How nice would it be for Lily to spend time with me tonight and leave her with a sweet memory?"

"I'm afraid it won't be possible. Lily is my wife's sister and I have an obligation to take care of her. "Everyone in Solidarity is a brother and sister, and we are trying to survive in this cruel and real reality, and we can only survive if we are united," Dorn said. Although we are poor, we support each other spiritually and do not need your money. ”

"But you always need something, or you won't come to me. Siegel ate a piece of fried fish and washed it down with mulled wine. "This meal is really good, why don't you have some?"

Dorn smiled and shook his head. "Jay, you're a person with a goal, and so do I. Why don't we share it and see if we have the same goals?"

"Haha, how is this possible?" Siegel observed Dorne's demeanor as he mimicked the mercenaries he had seen at the Sailor's Bar. The priest of the god of murder was always very calm, barely moving his whole body when he spoke, and his expression was almost unchanged. Without comparison, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. So Siegel didn't know which of his sentences was true and which of them was false.

"Your purpose has to do with the temple of the god of murder. And I'm one of them. So it doesn't matter if you say it now or not. I'll know eventually. Dorn laid his hands flat on the table, looking very confident: "Regis said that you have good swordsmanship, and you also have great spell abilities. I didn't believe that such a person would appear, but now that I see you and feel the surging elemental energy in you, I can't help but believe it. If as an enemy, you are a dangerous enemy. Whether it's for the sake of the temple or the Unity Society, I'm obligated to ask. ”

"What do you want?"

"I was going to go straight to the Duke. Let him send soldiers to drive you out of town, no matter how strong your ability is, you can't openly oppose your lord. Or I can ask my brothers and sisters in Solidarity not to entertain you, and in the town of Kebe you will not find food, water, or shelter from the elements, and no one will provide you with information and help. But both of these approaches are unfair, and fairness is the first step to order. So I arranged such a meeting to know your true purpose. ”

"Sounds like a lot of things. Siegel said, "The Assassins of the God of Murder attacked the Elven Forest a long time ago, killing many Elves. Not long ago, Lord Heim arranged for us to investigate, and said that the town of Kebe was a stronghold of the God of Murder. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

"Siegel Squid is a very powerful mage, and his abilities are limitless. Dorn said with a smile. And observe the expression of "Jay".

"His wallet is what I care about. "Gulp down the mashed potatoes and make a greedy look. "I'm going to bring back what I've seen so far. You will get 700 gold coins. If you can know the situation of the stronghold under Shaq Manor, it will be 700 gold coins more. I will not give up this cute little thing of fourteen hundred gold, especially the gold coins of the Haim Lords are in good condition, unlike the fake money of other southern lords. ”

"Fourteen hundred gold coins, such a large sum of money, it is worth working for. Dorne nodded, "You're sure you can figure out what's going on at Shaq Manor." ”

"Why don't you tell me about it? In order for you to save me trouble, I can give you three hundred gold coins. Siegel raised an eyebrow. "If you could tell me where the Assassins who attacked the Elven Forest were, and who they were, I could give you a little more. ”

"Do you think I'm going to betray them?"

"It's good to have confidence, but don't think too highly of yourself. You've done a beautiful job of attacking the Elven Forest, but I know you've failed twice with Lord Siegel. He was passively attacked before, and now he will soon know the location of your stronghold. Can you afford an active mage?" Jay stretched out in his chair and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, "I'm in a good position to negotiate in this situation, and you'll have to find a way to satisfy me, won't you, Lord Reverend?"

"I'd love to buy you for three thousand gold, but you can't shut up your companions. Dorne said, "Especially the Mother Earth priest Anomen, who will not lie with you. So in the end, it may still end in a fight. ”

"It's certainly impossible to just use money, there has to be something else to gag him and make it look like it. Siegel swept away the plates in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Dorne with a fierce look: "Let's settle everything with a gamble." ”

"Gamble?"

"For every time I kill and bring back an Assassin's head that participated in the Elven Forest attack, I will receive an additional eight hundred gold coins, and I will bet on the Assassin's head with my head. If I win, I'll walk with my head in my hands, take it and give it to me, and say that I alarmed the Assassins, and they scattered, and in the end there was only a bounty. If I lose, I'm dead, and you don't have to worry about someone having a big mouth. ”

Dorne stroked his chin and pondered the question, "Interesting proposal, but I don't seem to have much to offer. ”

"I'm asking for a price, you can sit on the ground and pay back." Siegel replied nonchalantly, "If you don't want to, let's fight now and see if you can stop me from leaving Kebetown." ”

"Can you leave those companions of yours behind?"

"Naria and Ammon are lovely, I can't bear it, but what can I do? I'm not sure I'll be able to leave with the two of them. Thor's skills are similar to mine, as long as he doesn't have a hot-headed hero to save the beauty, there must be no problem. As for Anomen and Yao, I will feel sorry for them, shed a few tears, but will not spare my life. I can gamble my own life, but only money. ”

"Why should I grant you such a request?"

"Hahaha, it's not a request, it's just a proposal. Siegel patted the table: "Besides, you will need me one day, and maybe that day will come soon." When the army of Heim and the elves reach the town of Keb, I may be their guide, or I will help you defend, who can say?"

"Ah, mercenaries, take the money to do things. Dorne said in disgust, "I came to you because you fancy your ability, and it's not easy to find a demon swordsman these days." If you lose, I don't want your head, I just need you to contribute your strength to serve the gods, and three months is a good start. ”

"Three months is too long, I don't want to stay for a month. Siegel took a dagger from his boot and placed it on the table. "Come, leave everything to fate and the gods. You come and spin the dagger, and when you point it at me, you give me Lily, and I barely keep it for a month, and if it is pointed at you, I'll keep it for three months, how about it?"

"The gods are on my side. Dorn held the emblem in prayer for a few words, then reached out and nudged the dagger to make it spin in place. The dagger spun endlessly, shaking as it turned. But before it slowed down but hadn't stopped, Siegel reached out his finger to block the blade, allowing the dagger to point at him.

A drop of blood ran down his finger.

"You?!" Dorn frowned.

"I believe that human efforts can overcome the test of fate and the gods," Siegel sucked his finger, "And for Lily, what is a drop of blood, hahahaha." ”

"You're an interesting guy, Jay. But you're too confident and you're bound to lose. The priest stood up, shook his robe slightly, and the door to the hut opened: "Come with me, let's go to Shaq Manor." ”

On the other hand, after receiving Siegel's magic message, Yao En was stunned at first, and then quickly sat up and quickly called everyone together. Jay prepares to enter Shaq Manor to investigate the situation, and he finds a priest of the God of Murder to lead the way. ”

"May Mother Earth bless, he is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!" Arnomen almost jumped up, "We should hurry up and save him." ”

"Don't worry, Jay has so many means that he can escape safely even if he is in danger. Evan had already prepared according to the summons that Siegel had given him, so he was confident: "If we go over, we will only cause trouble for him, and nothing good will come of it." ”

"He's your good friend, how can you say that?" Aeon glared at Evan, then looked at the dwarf, "Yao, how do we act?"

"Jay's message is for us to be cautious but act as soon as possible, the whole town is full of eyeliner from the Temple of Murder, and we have already found a way to escape surveillance from the worms trapped in the spider web. Yao En blinked: "I know what he means, so from now on, the best way for everyone to deal with it is to make a gesture of staying in the inn and waiting, but be secretly prepared." ”

"It's boring to sit like that. Evan crossed his legs onto the table in front of him and leaned his hands against the back of his chair as pillows. "I really want to swap with Jay to complete the exciting part?"

"Soon it will be available. Yao En turned his head to look at Arnomen, "You go and teach him our tricks." ”

"I don't trust Jay. Naria tapped on the table, "I think he'll betray us to the Temple of Murder for his own sake." Only he knows the whole story of the mission to Cabetown, but he hides it all along the way. Even here, he hid important information. The mage looked at the others, then at the gnome, "You know I'm telling the truth. Jay lied about a lot of things, he didn't really trust us, he didn't see us as companions. ”

"Really?" Amon asked, uneasy, tugging at Yao.

"Naria, don't talk nonsense. Before the dwarf could speak, Evan said, "The most unlikely thing in the world is that he betrayed us, and you misread him, Miss Mage." (To be continued.) )
