Chapter 1644 Gagging
The Orc King's decision is exactly what worries me the most.
At the end of the conversation with Carter Horton, what he said: Your aggressive personality is very much like one of my brothers.
This was not a compliment, but a disguised threat.
You know, Carter Horton’s brothers were all killed by him one by one, either poisoned or assassinated. This is tantamount to a warning to me - I will kill you just like I killed my brother!
It is no fun for the king of a country to kill me. I must always be vigilant and guard against any situation that may arise near his one-third of an acre of land.
Gordo and the others arrived here the next afternoon.
As soon as we got off the airship, Barbara was clamoring to see how the business of her cafe was doing. I tried to persuade her to no avail. Just as she was in trouble, the landlady gave her a blow and hit her on the head. Then Barbara Just be honest.
She had an aggrieved expression on her face, her eyes were closed with tears in her eyes, she hid behind me resentfully, looked at the proprietress in front of her with fear, and then kicked me from time to time as if she was venting her anger.
I smiled helplessly, who called her my fiancée? Just bear with it.
Returning to the villa in the center of the town, everyone sat around the sofa and urged me to tell them the process of the negotiation.
I talked about it in an understatement, and then urged everyone to do what they should do.
As night fell, I lay on the wicker chair on the balcony on the second floor, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Dashai City at night.
Not long after, Gordo came over, held the handrail of the balcony, and said softly: "Thank you, captain."
I was still looking at the sky in ecstasy, and said calmly: "They are all from my family, no need to thank me."
Godot said nothing more, bowed to me, and left.
At this time, Taylor, who was lying on another wicker chair, said leisurely: "He is too worried. I'm afraid he will have to rest for a long time after this battle."
"Being able to untie the knot in your heart is better than anything else. Even if it takes a long time to adjust, it is better than being depressed and unhappy all day long."
"By the way, old man." I turned my head and asked him, "Why did you come with me?"
Taylor asked back: "Why can't I follow you? Dasha City is owned by a bastard like you?"
"That's not true," I said, "I just think that the weather here is slightly colder than that of Moonlight City. You may not be able to adapt to it as you are older."
"Old man, I have been traveling all over the country for many years, and I have never been in any environment. You bastard, you are just worried that the old man will be a drag on you, right?"
"Don't say it so harshly. I didn't say you were a drag. I just saw that you were getting older and I was worried that something might go wrong."
"You don't have to worry about that," Taylor said disapprovingly: "With my current skills, even ten or eight of you can't get close to me."
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. You are so powerful, so you have the right to treat me as a blind worry."
Mr. Taylor was not annoyed. He took a sip of wine leisurely, wiped his mouth, and said leisurely: "Don't underestimate any old man. Maybe at some point, you will have to rely on the old man to turn things around."
Hey, this is so absurd!
I smashed my mouth, savoring the meaning of Mr. Taylor's words.
Master Dewey did not participate in my battle, but he issued a decree, ordering all the dwarf guild members stationed in Dashai City to stand by and be ready to assist me at any time.
The next day, when I met with the old Duke, President Aulë, and President Steelhammer, I asked President Aulë how many dwarf guild adventurers were stationed in Darsay City?
President Aoli pondered for a while and said: "There are no specific statistics, but the number is huge, enough to cut off the river."
I was shocked after hearing this. How many people are there?
The old Duke said from the side: "It would be great if this time it was really a war. We could steadily capture the cities of Ai Rui and York Han."
"Old man, you are too old. It is better not to be so angry," President Aoli advised.
"What are you talking about!" The old Duke glared and scolded: "I am always strong and strong. I can eat three big bowls in one meal. Even you stupid young people may not be able to get enough of me!"
"What's the use of eating too much?" President Steel Hammer said angrily: "You have to have some strength. A person as old as you may not be able to run."
The old Duke showed disdain and said: "Only fools among commanders can take action and run around. A veteran soldier of my level only needs to be condescending, control the battle situation, and direct the march and formation."
"What's the point in that?" President Steel Hammer said disdainfully: "The most enjoyable thing is to directly confront the enemy head-on with a war hammer. The feeling of collision is simply hard for me to extricate myself from!"
The old Duke glanced at President Steelhammer with disdain, and President Aoli and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Tomorrow we will set off for our destination. I wonder if everyone in the guild is ready.
Swords are sharpened, hammers and axes are protected, shields are polished.
This was important work before the war.
However, there is one most important task that they cannot do on their own and I cannot help them, and that is psychological problems.
Except for me, very few people in the guild have defeated the enemy with their own hands. Most of them deal with the monsters and fight. Even if they kill the opponent, there is no psychological barrier. However, this time is different. The enemy they will face, They are real people like them.
Mentioning this, I suddenly remembered the first experience of cutting the same kind of sword with my hands.
The other party is a corpse thief. Although he is weak, he is quite cunning and good at disguise.
Several of them pretended to be close to me and formed a team with me. They behaved very naturally. We gradually changed from strangers to familiar acquaintances, and even became friends. However, after killing an elite monster and revealing more precious materials, their true nature changed. He was exposed, and when I wasn't prepared, he stabbed a dagger hard into my lower back. The person who did it was the guy with whom I had the closest relationship, and whom I even regarded as my brother.
This knife was very deadly, but it also happened to activate my talent. When I was dying, I killed the corpse thieves and almost died. Fortunately, an adventurer happened to be passing by at that time and cast a healing spell on me. Saved my life.
I vomited for a long time looking at the broken limbs and meat on the ground. I couldn't imagine that I had done this.
You know, not long ago, I was just an ordinary homebody who stayed at home and played games every day.
After that, I escaped for a while by relying on the money I got from selling the materials. But the money I got was limited and I couldn't sustain it for long. The fear and hatred in my heart of the same kind of opponent blades finally couldn't withstand the surging hunger. Feeling that I have no other skills, I can only embark on the path of an adventurer again.
As long as there are monsters in the dungeon, there will be money, and as long as there is money, there will be adventurers with strategies, and there will be corpse thieves who want to get something for nothing or take advantage of opportunities.
Not long after the first time I killed the same kind of people, I unfortunately encountered another wave of corpse thieves. However, this time, I was not plotted. Instead, I took a step ahead and killed all the guys who were unfavorable to me.
The moment I shook off the blood on the iron piece, the moment I leaned down and pulled out the coins exploded by the monster from under the corpses of the same kind, I suddenly discovered that the feeling of panic and nausea had disappeared out of thin air.
