"No, my faith in my Lord is extremely firm, and I will never fall into the arms of a false god." Brooke raised his head and said with great determination.
"If you want to glorify our Lord, it's not just a matter of words, but it must be implemented in your daily words and deeds." Stephanie said at the end, biting his teeth. If it weren't for the young man in front of him, his background was too powerful. , she had already kicked him out of her grassroots organization.
After taking a long breath, Stephanie calmed down and said, "Tell me the detailed process of your meeting with the other party."
"Okay." Brooke suddenly became energetic and described the previous meeting process with added detail. He had to beautify himself, which played a vital role in it.
After hearing a few words, Stephanie's serious cheek began to twitch uncontrollably. If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have really wanted to punch the idiot in front of her to death. She was being fooled around and still enjoying herself here. Even with the care of that adult, it is simply a miracle that this idiot can survive to this day.
No wonder, no wonder he was kicked from Zhentil Castle to the barren rocky ground, not to train him at all, but to get rid of his burden.
After finishing speaking, Brooke asked cautiously: "Should we give them a little sweetness, so that they will sincerely surrender to us."
Stephanie's cheeks twitched again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Their verbal surrender cannot count at all. Giving them sweet treats now is basically a loss-making deal, and it is very likely that there will be no return."
"What do you mean, ma'am, that Gavin is cheating on me?" Brooke was somewhat in disbelief.
"I'm not sure, but it's very possible that I'm just stalling for time." Stephanie drooped his eyes and said, "There is no need for you to ask about this matter, and you are not allowed to interfere. Return to the monastery immediately. Within half a year, there will be no one from me. Permitted, but not allowed to step outside the monastery."
"But..." Brooke was a little unwilling to give up. He finally connected with this line, and success was imminent, so he was unwilling to let go easily.
"It's nothing." Stephanie said coldly, "Either you go back by yourself, or I break your legs and send you back."
"As ordered." Brooke's head suddenly dropped. He knew that the woman in front of him would do what she said. She was so anxious that she wouldn't even give him the respect of his uncle.
Stephanie stopped paying attention to Brooke and turned his eyes to the direction of the black well. There was a flash of light, obviously he was planning something.
Brooke is stupid, but she is not stupid. She will not be fooled by the illusion released by the other party.
Brooke's appearance has shocked the other party. Regardless of whether the other party really agrees to cooperate or is stalling for time, countermeasures will definitely be taken.
Therefore, her next actions must be more cautious, otherwise she will die without knowing how.
The Zhentarim lobbyist will send this guy named Brooke out the door.
Gavin's face immediately darkened. It was expected that the Zhentarim would come to his door, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
This showed that the Zhentarim's layout on the High Road was earlier than he knew.
Brooke was just an insignificant pawn testing the waters. It was easy to fool him, but it was not easy to fool the people behind him.
I believe it won’t be long before the real temptation comes, which is what the young businessman calls the task.
Ninety-nine percent of such tasks involve plundering caravans on the high road, which is the most common method used by the Zhentarim.
Once he participates in this kind of robbery, he will be passively tied to the evil chariot of the Zhentarim.
In his last life, he had no choice and was coerced and controlled by this evil organization for more than ten years.
In this life, he has choices, how could he be involved again.
To be more precise, Gavin was not only not planning to join the Zhentarim, he was also planning to create a stumbling block for the other party. As long as he stayed in the Rockland for a day, they would not be able to get through the high road.
According to Gavin's original idea, when the Zhentarim came to the door, he would hug Cormyr's thick thigh immediately, believing that they were full of interest in sniping the Zhentarim.
However, he now has a better choice. This move can be moved back a little. Unless necessary, he does not want to tie up the Cormyr chariot so quickly, because once he does so, he will be easily controlled everywhere.
Gavin's better choice is none other than the eladrin of the Feywild.
He needs to hire some powerful personal guards from there.
He was too familiar with the behavior of the Tallinn Society. Once he failed to follow the path, the other party would send assassins to assassinate him and then replace him. It was not the usual method but the necessary method. In his previous life, he had done such dirty work often.
Although the delaying strategy just now can free up a few months for himself, at least before he refuses the first mission, the probability that the Zhentarim will attack him is low, but it cannot prevent the other party from playing cards out of common sense.
Gavin decided to make a quick trip to Chunya Castle to finalize the matter.
Going to Chunya Castle, it is natural to have a troublesome young copper dragon, and the cash Bede brought will be put to good use.
Ivinsa's life has been quite fulfilling recently.
Every morning, she would wake up to the morning sun, and then give a one-hour solo concert for the kobolds all over the mountains and plains, so that they could start their busy day with singing.
After eating a hearty and delicious breakfast, she took her number one dogleg Goss and walked all over the rocks, looking for those cute dog holes, announcing to them her right to rule here, and issuing a summons to them. , let them report to the Yingya cave and start a new dog life.
No kobold can refuse the recruitment of a true dragon.
So far, Iwensa has not encountered such a visionless kobold tribe.
It left a little regret in her heart. She really wanted to try it and use the dragon's breath to establish power.
She is a kind dragon, and she really can't tolerate those obedient little things.
Came back in the afternoon and had dinner.
Ivinsa basically never goes out. She either goes to the Black Well to chat with Gavin and collect bills (jokes or skits), or she just hangs around the dragon's nest she is building.
The construction process of the dragon's nest was much faster than Awensa imagined.
This somewhat made her heart hurt less, at least the money was not wasted.
The kobold construction team that Gavin deployed for her was very impressive. One-tenth of them were dragon-seeking kobolds with magic-like abilities enabled, all related to construction. The rest were also miners and had rich experience in digging.
The number is not one hundred, but two hundred and fifty.
The extra one hundred and fifty people were added by Awensa on his own initiative because he felt that the construction process of the dragon's nest was too slow.
The main cave is taking shape rapidly, and the foundation of the castle on Eagle Cliff has begun to take shape. The rocks dug out from the main cave were not wasted. They were all transported to the top of the cliff and shaped into stone bricks, ready to be used for construction. For castle use.
"Sir, Lord Ivinsa, the leader is here and looking for you." Goss ran over panting.
He is now given a more important task by Gavin, specifically to serve the young copper dragon Ivinsa, which not only includes her food and daily life, but also follows her 24 hours a day every time she travels, and reports regularly to Gavin on Ivinsa's progress. whereabouts.
This is definitely not surveillance, but care.
Master Iwensa is too young and can easily be taken advantage of by bad people. Goss's mission is to prevent this situation from happening.
Goss is very satisfied with this task.
Being able to accompany the dragon day and night is the life that every kobold dreams of.
Before, Goss couldn't even dream of it.
In particular, he is the first kobold in the entire Heijing and Yingya Cave to be able to be taken flying by the giant dragon.
"What do you want from me?" Iwensa clasped her little hands behind her back and looked around, looking old-fashioned.
She is now the lord of the entire kobold tribe and must have the airs of a lord.
It's just that this expression, appearing on a seven or eight-year-old little girl with a pretty face, is inexplicably funny.
"I don't know, the leader didn't say anything." Goss replied very rudely, "When the leader came, he brought a truck with several large boxes on it. It looked very heavy. It was difficult for the leader to push it. It’s very strenuous, and there seems to be a metallic sound... Hey... Lord Iwensa, wait for me..."
Before Goss could finish speaking, Iwensa had transformed into his original form and soared away.
Big box, metal sound, heavy...
Iwensa seemed to have heard the sound of the gold coins hitting.
So many gold coins! Really a lot of gold coins!
When Ivinsa arrived, the four large boxes were neatly placed together. The lids of the boxes were opened, and inside there were rows of gold coins of uniform size and fine workmanship.
She recognized it at a glance. It was a gold coin called the Golden Lion produced by Cormyr.
"Three thousand gold coins per box, totaling twelve thousand, which is the commission for these two months. You can count it yourself later." Gavin stood aside and said with a smile.
Never rely on a giant dragon, even if the opponent is a young dragon.
The role played by the young copper dragon is definitely worthy of its price.
"Is it all mine?" Iwensa swallowed. The money came in so fast and so easily.
She didn't seem to have done anything, and the gold coin was dropped on her head.
The most important thing is that this is only the first one. There will be such a transaction every month in the future. Just thinking about it makes the young red copper dragon full of energy. Even when facing the young red dragon, he still has the courage to fight hard. .
"It's all yours." Gavin nodded affirmatively.
With the dragon, you should not only talk about feelings, but also about interests, especially glittering gold coins, which are the most useful.
"Sure enough, I read you right. If you need me in the future, just speak." Iwensa said to Gavin energetically.
No matter how many empty promises there are, there are no real gold coins to lure you.
The young copper dragon's affection for Gavin is now rising steadily, and it is already ranked first.
This is her cash cow, and no one can touch it. She will be anxious to anyone who does.
She now wished that if Gavin used her more, he would have more small money.
But with so many gold coins, where should I hide them?
After the young copper dragon was overly excited, it became entangled again.
Gavin seemed to see Ivinsa's entanglement and suggested: "I suggest that these gold coins be temporarily placed on the top rostrum of the Eagle Cliff Cave. Everyone can see it. Naturally, no one dares to approach. Well, these kobolds are the best treasure guards. Even if you give them a hundred courages, they don't dare to touch a dragon's treasure. Once the dragon's nest treasure house is slightly formed, they can move it in."
"That's the only way." Although Iwensa was a little worried, she had no better choice.
Gavin took advantage of the situation and suggested that he let the young copper dragon accompany him when he went to Chunya Castle again.
Iwensa naturally agreed without hesitation. She had a good impression of the eladrin. Although it was a bit dull and the food was not to her liking, they were very generous. Not only did they give her a practical ring, but also There were several beautiful outfits and she liked them all.
Return to Chunya Fort.
The same spring breeze, the same mist, but the feeling is different.
Last time, everything was full of novelty, and everything I looked at was full of freshness.
This time, it felt a bit samey, with a feeling of sameness.
This feeling is especially serious when I heard that the same scenery will last for a whole spring.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
