One hundred and two: greedy for money
Above the main hall.
On the stone pillars, the flaming wall handle is the only light here, and the shadows are dancing strangely with the firelight.
The dim shape of the Roaring Hall is reminiscent of the dead perverted palace of Cancer in the Saint Seiya Star Shit, which is a little eerie.
In the center of the main hall, on the three stone seats, the central stone seat was empty, and there was supposed to be the seat of the Great King Hu Tupa.
On either side, a man and a woman are seated.
The appearance of the man looks like a middle-aged man in his forties, with white temples, green silk on the top of his head, and two eagle eyebrows and slender eyes, which make people feel a chilling and solemn color.
Its shape is no different from that of a human, except that the tips of its ten fingers are slender nails, which resemble the claws of pangolins.
That should be the Ghost Claw Armor Daozi, the number one master of the Pangolin Clan, and the three kings of Roaring Ridge.
And the anger on the other side, red hair and red eyes, phoenix-shaped demon color, and the facial features reveal a strong sense of charm no matter which angle you look at.
Compared with Jia Daozi's cold and serious, this woman always has a rouge-like bewitching smile on her face.
Wearing a demon-red crop top and short skirt, its chest is large, and its bee waist is slender, all of which make people's hearts pound, and their jade onion-like hands gently comb the huge fox tail placed on their thighs, as if they don't care about anything.
This should be the whip man Fox Mei'er, the first master of the fox clan, and the second king of Roaring Ridge.
Lu Buwei, Snake Qing and Rabbit Jingjing stood on the right side of the aisle, in front of the two kings, they were also expressionless, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes.
It's just that Lu Buwei's eyes linger on Meng Xiang from time to time, revealing three points of hatred.
It seems that he blamed all the death of Hutuoba on the human race.
"The two kings, these are the three exchange students of our human race who came to your Roaring Ridge to study this time, the one on the left is called Aguri, and the one in the middle is called..."
"What's the name, I'm not interested in knowing. ”
Jia Daozi waved his hand, and showed anger at Qiu Wanli: "Sword Emperor, your human race is quite interesting, you obviously owe us 1,500 exchange students, and now you dare to send exchange students?"
When Qiu Wanli heard this, he couldn't help pursing his lips and bowed his head: "Brother Demon Claw, what you owe is owed, this has no effect on our human race sending exchange students to study, and I hope you can take more care of the disciples of the human race." ”
Jia Daozi's slender eyes glanced at Meng Xiang, Ah Chou and Ling Yueyue, and snorted coldly: "The strong don't need to be taken care of, the ones who need to be taken care of are weak chickens, I roar and don't accept weak chickens, I don't bother to care about the exchange of students, it's good if they want to come, anyway, the weak chickens will definitely be eliminated, I only care, did you bring the compensation this time?"
He was referring to the huge sum of money owed by the Humans to the Orcs.
This Jia Daozi's attitude was quite arrogant, and he didn't take Meng Xiang in his eyes at all, as if in front of him, Meng Xiang and the three of them did not exist.
Meng Xiang and Ah Chou and Ling Yueyue also maintained a one-knee kneeling posture, too lazy to speak.
With Qiu Wanli here, the negotiation will be left to her.
"Brought. ”
Ling Yueyue took off the storage ring of the little finger of her right hand and flicked it towards Jia Daozi like a coin.
Jia Daozi was not in a hurry, his left hand stretched out, and the index fingernail accurately penetrated into the ring that was spinning in mid-air.
Opening the space, Jia Daozi silently counted the belongings in the ring.
The scene gradually fell silent.
And as the belongings were counted, Jia Daozi's face became more and more gloomy.
"Qiu Wanli..." he raised his head, not even using the title of Sword Emperor, but called him by his name and said, "In your ring, is the compensation a little less?"
Qiu Wanli's face stiffened, and her face couldn't help but show embarrassment: "Spirit Stone... I guess there's no shortage of it, right?"
"Hmph, less garlic. ”
Jia Daozi smiled coldly and said: "There is no shortage of spirit stones, exactly 1.5 billion, but what about spiritual weapons? You owe us one hundred and fifty Xuan-level and twenty earth-level weapons, as compensation for the first year, how can we have two or three Xuan-level spiritual weapons, right?"
"Don't dare. Qiu Wanli couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "We only have ten days to prepare, it will be very difficult just to gather the spirit stones, in terms of spiritual weapons, I hope that the three kings can Haihan, take it slowly, and you will definitely make up for it next year." ”
"Haihan, you talk to me about Haihan?"
Jia Daozi leaned back in his chair and said: "That's the agreement between us and the human race, Qiu Wanli, don't blame me for saying ugly things ahead, as long as the human race can't pay it for a year, our orc race will terminate the contract and no longer hide it for you!"
"Terminate the contract?"
When Qiu Wanli heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
The termination of the contract means that the orcs no longer need to keep it secret for the human race, and once the orc clan announces that Ren Xiaoyao is a member of the witch cult, the human race will inevitably be persecuted by the other six races.
You must know that because of the continental contract, none of the eight clans can start a war, this is an iron treaty, and it is also the reason why the Nine Continents are now at peace.
However, if the matter of Ren Yao's joining the Witch Cult is exposed, it means that other races can coerce the human race in the name of arbitration, and if the human race obeys, the resources will inevitably be plundered, and if they do not obey, it will lead to arbitration war.
This is what Qiu Wanli, and even the entire human race, do not want to see.
"Three kings, the collection of spiritual weapons is extremely difficult, and our human race is also doing our best to collect it, please be considerate, give us a little time, the second indemnity next year, we will definitely make up for this year's loopholes." ”
Qiu Wanli also ignored the identity of the Sword Emperor, and pleaded with Jia Daozi on one knee.
However, when Jia Daozi saw this, a hint of cunning appeared on his face.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, put his face on one hand and said: "Hu Tuba's death is a huge loss for the orc race, and we are willing to help you hide it from other races in the past, but now you can't even pay the reparation, in my opinion, you human race is provoking the bottom line of our orc race." ”
When Qiu Wanli heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head.
"Don't dare, we don't mean to, it's just..."
"Then what do you mean?" Jia Daozi slapped the throne handle without warning, and the entire throne was shattered into powder on the spot.
He got up and pointed at Qiu Wanli and said: "Such a small amount of compensation is already our extrajudicial grace, you still have to delay, okay, you can delay it, make up for the lack of spiritual weapons this year next year, and at the same time double the share next year, which will be counted as liquidated damages, so I will give you a year of grace!"
Double?!
When Qiu Wanli heard this, his handsome face suddenly turned blue.
The original compensation was already very exaggerated, although it was only a one-year double of the compensation, but it was really enough to force the human race to hang themselves collectively.
When Meng Xiang heard this, he probably understood.
This Jiadaozi wants to blackmail the human race.
Although humans and orcs have a better relationship with each other, it is just a matter of alignment.
This time, the human race killed Hu Tuba, which was enough to break the relationship between the two races, but the orcs still chose to help the human race for the sake of interests.
However, this favor is not in vain, the huge indemnity will almost empty out two-thirds of the human race, not to mention, if the human race cannot pay the reparation on time, the orc race has every reason to tear the skin with the human race.
It is precisely because of grasping the handle that Jia Daozi wants to do everything possible to squeeze the most benefits from the human side.
Even if it's the lack of a spiritual weapon, it's the best excuse!
This is the disadvantage of being grabbed by people, and no one can blame it.
Although Ren Xiaoyao died, he really pitted the human race very miserably.
What can people do if they bully you? Who makes you owe them?
"Hmph. The deer on the side didn't see this, and also gloated and chuckled.
On the throne, Fox Mei'er didn't speak, just silently combed the hair of her tail, and didn't seem to have any interest in all this.
At this moment, Qiu Wanli's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Rabbit Jingjing looked at this scene, and couldn't help but cover her chest worriedly, but as an orc clan, and she was only a secondary disciple, she couldn't help much, so she could only watch all this.
Don't say anything and just fall out, this is the idea of a fool.
This is what the human race owes to the orcs, and the human race is not qualified to turn the other cheek at all.
If Qiu Wanli dares to slack off at this time, tomorrow the orc clan will poke the matter out, and the Ninth Continent will be jointly bulldozed by other races the day after tomorrow, and there will be no more humans in the Ninth Continent from now on.
What's more, Qiu Wanli is just a new Sword Emperor, the second order of the golden body, the two kings are both strong men of the ninth order of the golden body, and if they really fight, Qiu Wanli can't even hold it for ten seconds.
"But... But we really can't get the artifact for the time being. "Qiu Wanli is a woman after all.
Under extreme pressure, the corners of her forehead kept oozing with fragrant sweat, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but become more and more moist.
She raised her head and said in an almost pleading tone: "Three kings, I ask you, just postpone this time, as long as we delay it once, we will definitely pay the compensation in full next year, and we will never be in arrears in the future, please." ”
After speaking, Qiu Wanli changed the one-knee salute to kneeling on both knees, and kowtowed to the head belonging to the Sword Emperor in front of Jia Daozi.
This one made Lu Buwei and the other three disciples, as well as Ah Chou and Ling Yueyue, all taken aback.
Even the fox couldn't help but bow her head slightly, looking at this rare picture in 10,000 years.
The Sword Emperor kowtowed?!
Sword Emperor, this is not as simple as a title.
Each continent has a race, and each race has a specific number of top powerhouses, the Sword Emperor, this name is a kind of representation, just like the Sword God, Whip Man, etc., all represent the strength and honor of their own race.
Since the Great War on the mainland, there have been countless top-level powerhouses falling, but there has never been a top-level powerhouse kneeling and kowtowing.
Qiu Wanli, in the name of the Sword Emperor, can be regarded as breaking a precedent today.
This can be said to be a shame for the entire human race!
Qiu Wanli knelt down, if this matter spread, the entire human race would be ashamed of Qiu Wanli.
"Brother Meng. Seeing this, Ah Chou couldn't help but feel sympathy: "This... It's too... What should I do, Miss Qiu knelt down today, she will be infamous for a lifetime. ”
Meng Xiang didn't answer, just silently looked at Qiu Wanli sideways.
Touching the ground on her forehead, Qiu Wanli looked unwilling at the moment, but for the sake of the human race, she could be regarded as letting go.
However...
"What's the use of kowtowing?
Jia Daozi sneered and said: "Today, you either pay the spirit weapon, or pay liquidated damages next year, or, if you really can't afford it, don't pay it, I'll just tell the matter." ”
"How can this be?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Wanli raised his head and begged: "It's just a matter of letting you go, please keep it secret." ”
"Then make up for the spirit weapon you owe! You owe us in the first place, what so much nonsense, in a word, pay or not, the old man doesn't force you, you choose!"
Jia Daozi drank heavily.
This sentence made Qiu Wanli tremble.
It's an ultimatum!
