With that, De La Serre lowered his sword and waved his hand to indicate that it was safe to leave.
"Okay! I will come alone!" A'mo happily left with the giant eagle Xiaomu and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
De La Serre looked at his receding figure and finally couldn't help but complain: "He's still called the Eagle King. Apes are smarter than him, right? He's 250 out of 250. He's hopelessly wrong."
However, the group still failed to successfully find the Draw Queen Ronnie. After a brief rest, De Lassel decided that they could only return to the town of Uxhall and make long-term plans.
A day later, they returned to Uxhall. Entering the Lord's Hall, De Lassel asked Safia to help Ryan treat the wound on his back first.
He himself went to ask the big businessman Manid about some things.
The great merchant Manide received the summons, walked over quickly, nodded respectfully and said, "My honorable master, what can I do for you?"
"Manide, have you ever heard of the Giant Eagle Tribe in the northern desert?"
"Hmm... I seemed to have heard about it when I was doing business before. It was a group of warriors. Each of them had his own giant eagle that could assist them in battle. It seemed very powerful!"
De La Serre then asked: "So do you know approximately how many of them there are? Who are they fighting for? Themselves?"
"They fight for money. They will fight for whoever pays them. There are probably more than a hundred of them."
After hearing Manide's answer, the baron knew that Amer had not lied to him. But it was also true that this person with an IQ of 2 might not even know what lying was.
"Manide, according to what you said, aren't they very similar to the mercenaries in the tavern?"
"No, they are completely different. Like the knights hired by the tavern we have now, although they also fight for your hiring fees, they still have the spirit of knightly honor and loyalty. The Giant Eagle Tribe will simply work for whoever pays the most!"
"So, if an enemy offers them money to kill me, they will defect right away if I offer them more, is that right?"
"Yes, my noble master, this is most likely the case."
Hearing this, I think of that
Because of A'mer's low IQ, De La Salle had no worries at all and was not worried about this group of reckless men.
"I see. By the way, Manide, think carefully these few days about how to strengthen our military strength. I have a lot of money now, but I don't know how to make good use of it."
"Yes, sir." The big businessman Manid turned and left, returning to his room.
At this time, the system went online: Are you really no longer worried about the Giant Eagle Tribe? I have already reminded you that they will upgrade and grow their attributes! And I believe that A'mo should be on his way to kill you now.
Don't panic. From the looks of him, I think his growth will focus on strength and agility, not brains. Come on, let's talk about it later. I also need to let Ryan practice more aerial duels. It just so happens that the eagle is a good opponent.
It's you! I said, system, can you help me open a cheat, get some benefits or something? I have to find a place to spend the money!
You should at least play a positive role occasionally! This idiot Ah Mo can beat me, am I too weak? As the male protagonist, you have to support me with your fighting power!
System prompt: Now it is getting dark, let's go to bed. I will take you to complete a side quest tomorrow morning. I believe that this side quest will make you rich quickly and also increase your combat power.
Damn it, De La Ser could not help but complain, "Another branch line, the last time you branched out, you were involved in water and pornography, what are you going to do tomorrow? I won't serve you, I won't do it."
System prompt: It's not up to you. Last time, everyone said it was good! Everyone loves to watch it, how dare you not cooperate? I believe tomorrow will be even more exciting!
Very good, really “very good”, it seems like tomorrow will be another day of forced business…
De Lassel felt extremely tired at this moment and fell into a deep sleep. Time quickly came to the next morning.
"My honorable master, please get up and have breakfast." Old Ao gently knocked on the baron's door.
"Old Ao, when I hired you to help, I didn't ask you to provide bed services, but I really appreciate your thoughtful care. I'll get up right away."
De Lassel rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes hastily, washed up quickly, and left the room.
But he
I found that today's breakfast seemed quite special. Rather than saying it was special, it would be more appropriate to describe it as dark cuisine.
Looking at the dark food in front of him, De La Serre couldn't help but feel scared. He asked, "Old Ao, what is this, wine-red soup!?"
"Baron, a new batch of ingredients and sauces have arrived in town. This is a specially made tonic mushroom soup. Because of the addition of the new sauce, the color is a bit strange, but it tastes very good. We have already tasted it." Lao Ao explained.
De La Serre noticed that Old Ao was quite abnormal today. He rarely talked so much. Now Old Ao's face was slightly red, and he was a little shaky and unstable. He looked like he was drunk.
Now De Lassel couldn't help but wonder, was he mistakenly adding wine to the soup as a sauce
At this time, the system is online: Please drink this bowl of soup, and after drinking it, start today's branch quest.
Oh wow, goodness, so as long as I don’t drink, I can avoid today’s side quest, right? Okay…
De La Serre recalled the unforgettable branch trip last time. He was not looking forward to revisiting it today. This was not a surprise, but a shock.
"Okay, let me try it... Oops!" De La Serre deliberately made a big move to grab the soup bowl, pretending that it was hot and accidentally dropped it to the ground.
"This... Old Ao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I might not be awake yet." De La Serre scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment.
System prompt: It would be unjust if you didn’t win an Oscar for your acting skills. No problem, you don’t want to drink, right…
As if Lao Ao heard the system's thoughts, he said, "It's okay, Master. There's another pot in the kitchen. No problem, I'll serve you another one."
Damn it! It seems like there is no way to escape today...
When Lao Ao brought out another bowl of dark food, De Lassel finally drank it with gritted teeth.
This magical taste contains the rich taste of tomato sauce... the aroma of the mushrooms themselves... and, and... it tastes like wine!
No wonder it’s this color!
"Pah, pah, pah! Cough cough, Old Ao... Are you trying to poison me so that you can inherit my inheritance? I would rather give it to Xiao Ma than to you, cough cough..." De Lassel complained while spitting out the soup.
