"Cats?" Barbara's eyes lit up, as if she had an idea of her own, she put away the scroll on the table, and then said: "Your Excellency Beta, the gold coins will be sent to you later, I will Leave, and one last thank you for your help."
"No, it's just a fair trade."
Liang Lidong knew that Barbara was in a hurry to contract a magic pet. For a mage, having one more magic pet is equivalent to having one more reliable and trustworthy comrade-in-arms. Especially for fire magicians like Barbara who have powerful destructive power but have few means of self-protection, the existence of magic pets can increase their combat effectiveness and survivability by more than two steps.
After his daughter left the room, the city lord Uther sat down, poured a glass of fruit wine for Liang Lidong, and said, "Your Excellency Beta, now that we are all allies, you have helped Babala so much again, for the sake of In the future, we will cooperate and communicate with each other, so now I want to share some things.”
Liang Lidong looked a little surprised: "Please tell me."
Uther pondered for a while, and said: "In a sense, I admire you very much. You used the news of the gold mine to make me work for you in disguise, and then only asked for a small share, which made me want to kill you." Not heavy, and then you successfully led me to the opposite side of the temple, and also successfully let the life temple know the existence of the gold mine in a disguised form. You let us fight, and then let you get out of something. Although I know you I am also very angry about using me, but I dare not kill you, for fear of forcing you to the opposite side. Such a tightrope-walking method reminds me of some old foxes in the capital."
"You flatter me too much." Liang Lidong smiled: "I'm just telling you the news about the gold mine, other things are your own speculations and have nothing to do with me."
"It's really meaningless if you still don't want to tell the truth at this time."
Uther looked very disappointed. He sighed for a long time, and then said: "Since your Excellency doesn't want to be friends with me, then forget it. But because the Temple of Life is so powerful, this time I invited some friends to come to help, I want to introduce you to meet and get to know each other, lest we meet in the future and everyone doesn’t know the identity of the other party, and it would be bad if there is any misunderstanding.”
Before Liang Lidong nodded in agreement, Uther rang the brass bell on the table, and after a while, six people came in from outside the door. The first three are middle-aged nobles, each with a guard. The moment they entered, they all stopped their eyes on Liang Lidong's hair. After all, bright golden hair is too rare, and it is obviously a symbol of special blood.
The three nobles took their seats, and the three guards stood behind their respective masters. One of the middle-aged nobles was a fat man with the hibiscus flower emblem tattooed on his cuff. Liang Lidong took a second look, but the middle-aged fat man noticed this small movement. He raised his right hand and shook it, Then asked: "The red priest seems to be very interested in my family crest?"
Liang Lidong showed nostalgic look on his face: "I'm a little interested, Mu Jinhua family, I remember that your family should have made a fortune in Pine Forest City at first, and it took about three years from nothing to becoming a nobleman. I remember that your ancestors should be called Auguste Goulff, he had a sister called Dinah Goulf... What happened to Dinah?"
In the game at that time, Liang Lidong received a rare continuous mission, which took a long time and was very cumbersome. It was to help August Gulf gain a foothold in Pine Forest City as a mercenary. This task took Liang Lidong three full years, but although it took a long time, it was worth it. In the process of completing the task, not to mention a large amount of character experience, and also witnessed the open and secret struggles among the nobles, this It laid a solid foundation for him to become a lord in the future.
And he also captured Dinah-Gulf unexpectedly, but because the Persian cat and Xiaobai were already by his side at that time, he did not accept Dinah's affection. Even so, his friendship with Dinah was still quite deep. But he also knew that Dinah in this world definitely didn't know him, but when he saw the coat of arms of Hibiscus, he still couldn't help asking.
The middle-aged fat man's expression was very strange: "Ancestor Dinah... never married in her life."
Liang Lidong's expression was also very strange: "You never married?"
"I don't know why!" The middle-aged fat man said helplessly: "She was mentioned in the family chronicle, saying that she was a rare paladin genius who guarded the family all her life and never married outside. Iron Maiden!"
Liang Lidong drank fruit wine and couldn't help but recall the situation in the game back then. Dinah is a beautiful girl, and the main attribute of a paladin is charm. Although her appearance and temperament are still far behind Persian cats and Xiaobai, she is already a rare one in the human world. The beauty I saw was even more kind and gentle. At that time, not only many npcs pursued her, but even many players pursued her.
At this time, Liang Lidong showed a feeling of nostalgia. Everyone could see that he and the Mu Jinhua family seemed to have some stories, but did they have old acquaintances with people from three hundred years ago? Ordinary humans don't have such a long lifespan, only long-lived species can do it. Uther looked at Liang Lidong in surprise, and said, "Since you already know the Mujinhua family, you don't need me to introduce you. Let me introduce you to the other two..."
He pointed to the thinnest middle-aged nobleman and said, "This is Wood-Henry, the richest family in Winterwind City, and he is the patriarch."
Henry chuckled: "No matter how much money you have, there is not as much money as your city lord. A gold mine is now yours."
"The problem has to be eaten." Uther pointed to another middle-aged nobleman with a hooked nose and sinister triangular eyes and said: "This is Rex-Emma. His family is a blacksmith shop business Yes, the weapons and armor of my soldiers are all supplied by him."
"This is Your Excellency Beta, the famous Red Priest."
Liang Lidong nodded to the three nobles: "The three are very famous in Dongfeng City. Although I have never met the three, I often hear about the three people around me. I have never had the opportunity to meet the three. Now I can Sitting together is also an arrangement of fate."
In fact, except for the Mujinhua family Liang Lidong who knows some details, he has never even heard of the other two families. It is a kind of blatant discrimination.
It's just that Liang Lidong's kindness was not appreciated by others, and the sinister triangular eyes dragged a long tone, and said eccentrically: "City Lord, is this kid eating up half of your profits by himself? I don't think much of it." Well, except for a more beautiful face. How about the city lord, I will let you get rid of this kid, and I will vent your anger on you, how about you give me half of the profit?"
There are smart people and stupid people in npc, and it is the same in reality, there are smart people like the city lord who can endure humiliation, and naturally there are hopeless eggs. But Liang Lidong didn't think that this insidious triangular-eyed person was a fool, the other party was provoking him... Liang Lidong didn't understand, what's the benefit of provoking himself? Although he can't guess the opponent's method, but not following the opponent's pace is an excellent way to deal with it.
But the city lord began to teach this Rex a lesson: "This is the city lord's mansion, your Excellency, please be careful. We are allies now, even if there were any conflicts before, we should let go now and deal with our common enemy together."
Rex snorted and said nothing.
Uther patted the table lightly and said: "Your Excellency Beta is very good at dealing with assassins. With him, our safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent, and after Barbara contracts the magic pet, the assassins will not want to deal with them." It won't be that easy for us."
Hearing this, the three later nobles all heaved a sigh of relief. The richer and more powerful the person, the more afraid of death.
Uther continued: "With the joining of Your Excellency Beta, our combat power will be greatly strengthened. What I am most worried about now is that if the Temple of Life is rescuing other surrounding cities, we may have to face the army of the Temple of Life .So I plan to blockade Winterwind City in the name of war to prevent the spies from the Temple of Life from escaping."
"Leave this matter to me." The triangular-eyed nobleman stood up, glanced at Liang Lidong and said, "There is no need to seal the city, I have a way to prevent the Temple of Life from going out to rescue, but in the early stage, the Lord Beta can help you." Row."
Liang Lidong was a little surprised, he really couldn't figure out why he was shot while lying down.
