Chapter 170: Disguise
Bob was attacked by a surprise attack, and although he changed his words temporarily, the sentence he had just uttered already exposed his behavior.
He immediately became annoyed and said, "Who the hell are you!"
"Two months ago, I didn't teach you enough in the tavern," Leon said flatly, "How dare you steal what I gave to Jack?"
This is what Eric told him just now, Bivis, who arrived in Greenwood Town ahead of time, heard Bob show off in the tavern after a drunken show - the last time Leon was in Greenwood, this mercenary who had been punched away by Leon later sneaked out of the town and happened to see the gem he had given Jack, and his heart immediately became lively, and a few days later, he teamed up with another assassin of the mercenary group to run in and steal the two opals that the veteran had hidden under the bed after Jack left his house.
When Leon questioned, Jack was standing in the dark behind him and listening, he had found out that the gem had been stolen, although he could guess who did it, but there was no evidence to prove it, so he had to stop it. And because I always feel sorry for Leon, I haven't said anything about it.
I didn't expect Leon to learn about it just after he came back, and he also cheated out the other party's words, thinking of this, Jack's eyes glanced at the tall and thin middle-aged man standing not far away, this person named Eric came back from the town before, and then whispered to Leon, looking at his eyes as if he mentioned himself, could it be the news he found out?
These two gems were very precious to him at the beginning, but he didn't expect them to disappear, and he was really distressed for a while, but now Jack has taken this matter very lightly, and he has accepted Leon's invitation, and he is in a good mood, so he doesn't want to pursue it at all. So he took two steps forward, trying to persuade Li Ang not to deal with this kind of person.
Bob on the other side finally remembered who Leon was, because the punch left a very deep impression on him, and his eyes immediately shrank, but he thought that he was not alone now, and there were many companions around him, so he became bold again.
He also saw the old man who was limping forward, and said angrily: "Jack! It turns out that you old man is playing tricks, don't think that if someone supports you, you dare to frame others at will!"
After saying this, Bob suddenly saw Li Ang's expression looking at him coldly, and his heart trembled again, and he immediately moved behind the strong man next to him.
"Young man," said the strong man, "I don't know who you are, but this matter must be a misunderstanding, old Jack is a drunkard, and his reputation in the town is not good, so don't believe him." ”
"Old Jack is now my person, so what's the point of having a reputation among you people?" Li Ang said lightly: "What's more, your subordinates stole the two gems I gave away, which are valuable blood chalcedony. ”
"Blood chalcedony?" The mercenary group was shocked, this was a precious gem worth more than a dozen gold, and they had not seen a physical object in their lives for decades.
"Fart! You're lying!" Bob yelled angrily, "it's an opal!"
"It's so easy...... I'm a little embarrassed!" Li Ang sighed in his heart, this is a very vulgar way to deceive people, but a man like Bob eats this and confesses himself when he opens his mouth.
There was silence on the field.
All eyes were on Bob, the brawny man who didn't notice it at first, until he saw the closest assassin on the team looking at him with an idiotic look.
"Boss, boss......" he looked at Big Brother Kubi who was glaring at him in front of him, his face full of fear.
Kubi glared at him fiercely for a long time, and finally turned back to Leon and said, "Okay, I was wrong, since Bob did this matter, then the responsibility is also mine, let's say, what compensation do you want?"
This sentence made Li Ang's opinion of the strong man change greatly, even if the other party saw that he was more powerful, such a blunt admission would require a little courage.
In fact, Kubi's mental activities are very "simple" - he grew up in the farmland since he was a child, and he didn't know how many times he fought with other children, so he understood a truth when he became an adult, "There are many people on the other side, I guess I can't beat them, so I can just be honest and suffer less." ”
Don't look at the look on the face of Captain Kubi, in fact, he has secretly swept the people behind Li Ang, although the sky is beginning to darken, but the appearance of those elves can be seen clearly, they are all equipped with uniform armor and ...... The power of elven archery has been circulating on the road for a long time, and these elves alone are estimated to be able to make their group of people unable to eat and walk.
Looking at the casual appearance of the others, and the indifferent face of the young man facing them, Kubi knew that these people were very powerful, at least more powerful than his own small mercenary group, so his expression immediately became more innocent.
"I'm sorry, it's my responsibility, I'll discipline Bob well in the future," Kubi's attitude was very sincere, "But since this time the incident has happened, it can only be borne by me, how much does it cost to make up for the two opals?"
This is reasonable, Li Ang originally took this opportunity to punish Bob, but at this moment, if the lion opens his mouth, it will seem that he is at a loss.
But he found that the other party's hand was behind his back, and waved his hand at the subordinates behind him who obviously looked confused, and then made a few gestures, and he didn't know what it meant - this strong man didn't know that Li Ang could sense the hidden movements behind him, and the expression on his face became more and more respectful.
This kind of behavior is obviously inconsistent with his appearance, Li Ang looked directly at the other party, and there was a burst of disdain in his heart, "Sister's ...... has a simple face, most of them seem to be loyal traitors. ”
"Two gold coins," Leon said at a more reasonable price, to see how the other party would deal with it next.
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Kubi's face, "Two gold coins...... I can't really take it right now, but we've just finished a commission, and we'll get paid when we get back, so can you give us some time. ”
This place is no better than the Gray Town, the land of chaos itself is full of all kinds of dangers, from bandits to wandering mercenaries, from the natives of the Pale Mountains to dark creatures, as well as the constant appearance of monsters and strange events, counting on the city defense army to take care of it at all, so the commissions issued to the mercenary union are varied, and the remuneration is relatively much richer.
Although Greenwood Town is also located on the border of the kingdom, but because not far from the southwest is the military fortress Blega, where a full three hundred border guards are stationed, and more than a hundred miles away in the north is the manor of the lord Viscount Anto, so the security is relatively high, and the recent fierce mob invasion has not affected here, and even if there are any powerful monsters around, they have their own guards and the lord's servants to solve them, and these mercenaries are not needed at all.
And the mercenaries here are not large at all, and Kubi's mercenary group called Gray Wolf is almost the largest, and it has never been registered with the mercenary union at all.
Of course, they are not ambitious people at all, but they think that this situation is very good, and from time to time they help the servants under the lord, and sometimes they also deal with some small monsters, or run errands, but they can also earn a few gold coins a month, enough for these people to eat and drink.
So it's really a bit difficult for them to take out two gold coins at once.
"Go," Leon generously agreed, "and we'll always be here." ”
With a grateful look on his face, Kubi immediately nodded and said, "We'll be back soon!" and walked briskly towards the town with his men.
Li Ang put his hands behind his back and looked at the distant figures of these people and was silent.
"Leon, no, my lord, you have been deceived by Kubi," Jack walked over on crutches, "I know his nature, he can't be so talkative, there must be something else!"
Eric also leaned to the side, "Boss, I'll pay attention, there's something wrong with that Kubi." ”
Leon looked at these two people, especially admired Eric, the gangster leader did not have the ability to map the battlefield, it can be said that he was completely judged by the details of the Guò Kubi table, and he was worthy of being an intelligence broker who was good at reading the details.
"Don't worry," his gaze turned to Greenwood Town again, and at this time night finally fell, and the lights in the town could be seen lit, "I'm prepared, I'm only worried about Kubi now...... Don't let me down. ”
