The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 63: Transactions and cooperation

Views:

"Okay, how do you divide these things?" Regnar asked after taking back all his equipment. After these days of study, he also roughly knew that the corpses of monsters were of great value, and the corpses of powerful monsters like the Snow Troll were even more valuable. Therefore, how to divide the spoils is also an important issue now.

"Two trolls, how about we take the bigger one and you take the smaller one?" Deville suggested, this is a fairer approach. After all, if Regnar and Annelotte hadn't severely damaged the two trolls, they wouldn't have been able to resolve the battle so easily. So even though there were only two people, their contribution was enough for them to get a small half of the loot.

It is worth mentioning that if Regnar and Annelotte had not shown unimaginable terrifying strength in the battle, Deville would not have discussed the distribution with them here, and would have waited for an opportunity to kill them both. .

But after seeing the fight between the two, Deville clearly realized how terrifying these two seemingly harmless boys and girls were. Although Regnar's fighting spirit was exhausted and his steps were floating when he walked, there was still Annelotte on the other side.

Although the girl suffered a heavy blow from the snow troll, she seemed unscathed, and even her face did not change much. Deville thought to himself that if he were to take such a hit, even if he added all the magic shields to himself, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

But Annelotte stood up quickly after being knocked down, with a cold and thunderous expression on her face like "What about the snow troll? Even if the mountain giant gives me a blow, it will be like a breeze blowing on my face." Gurner chat. This made Deville secretly frightened towards the girl.

Therefore, after weighing it, Deville couldn't help but feel that his previous approach was a bit reckless. He shouldn't offend both of them without knowing the details, but fortunately the conflict is not too big.

He also considered killing the two of them in the future when they were not prepared, but not to mention how much of a threat Annelotte posed to them, even if he was lucky enough to succeed, Deville felt that he was likely to be hunted down in the future.

He would not be so idiotic as to think that these two guys were just ordinary mercenaries. Annelotte was the only magic genius he had ever seen in his life. It would be a disaster if there wasn't some terrifying force behind her. So after realizing this, Deville tried to find a way to make up for the relationship between the two parties, at least not to let these two terrible guys think about him in the future.

"Well, it sounds pretty good. It's rare for you to be righteous." Regnar also nodded. Seeing that the battle was not compromised and the distribution was fair, he put the guy in front of him who had been killed dozens of minutes ago. I had forgotten about using the dissociation technique to kill myself.

Annelotte, on the other hand, returned to her cold demeanor. She didn't care much about the little money from the Snow Troll's corpse - anyway, Kordak's bet had directly increased her assets five times.

"Then I think maybe we need to have a good talk now?" Deville ignored his entourage and ran to Regner who was sweating profusely.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Regnar suppressed his nausea and skinned the troll. He didn't expect Annelotte to help.

"First of all, I want to affirm your strength. Although there are only two of you, your performance in the battle just now is enough for me to face you and respect you. This is the basis of cooperation."

"Then what?" Regnar continued cutting the fur without looking back.

"Then I wonder if I can ask you why you are here?" De Vere secretly speculated in his mind that after seeing Annelotte's strength, he didn't think this girl still needed that kind of thing.

"It's best to take the initiative yourself before asking others." Regnar muttered without looking back.

Deville was silent for a moment and then said: "Okay, I won't beat around the bush anymore, let's just say it straight. There is a crystal-backed snow lizard in this bottomless snow mountain cave. I want its Warcraft crystal core, but I have to say that the strength of this monster is somewhat beyond our ability to bear. Therefore, I would like to invite you to help me."

"Crystal-backed Snow Lizard? What is that?" Regnar continued to mutter.

"A relatively rare high-level monster with a small amount of blue dragon blood. It can be said that it is full of treasures, but what I need most..." Deville glanced at Annelotte, who was still expressionless: " It’s its Warcraft crystal core, I need it to improve my ability to control ice magic.”

"So that's why you did it." Annelotte said.

"That's right." Deville smiled: "I seem to have encountered some bottlenecks on the path of magic, so I need the crystal core of the Crystal Back Snow Lizard to help me make a breakthrough. Okay, my purpose has been stated, now It’s your turn. What are you doing here? I think with Miss Annelotte’s magical talent, I’m afraid she won’t need that kind of thing, right?”

"We are here to find Millennium Snow Lotus. We don't need what you said." Annelotte replied.

"That's great. Since there is no conflict of interest, there is no reason not to cooperate. What do you think? You help me kill the crystal-backed snow lizard. After I get the crystal core, I will help you find the thousand-year snow lotus. Along the way All the Warcraft materials encountered should be divided into 50 and 50, except of course the Warcraft crystal cores," Deville suggested.

"You need us to work hard to kill a dangerous monster, but in exchange you only help to run errands? You really know how to do this kind of business." Annelotte said coldly.

Deville didn't pay much attention to Annelotte's sarcasm. He smiled and replied: "Well, maybe you have some truth. If I remember correctly, you should have had two companions, and now there are only two of you left. , I must have gotten lost, right? You know, it is easy to get lost without a map in this winding and complicated cave. So I think I have something you need here."

Deville tapped his head with his index finger: "Map, I can't guarantee that I know this cave inside out, but getting lost is absolutely impossible for me. So, if you help me After getting the World of Warcraft crystal core, I will not only help you find Snow Lotus, but also help you find your lost companions. What do you think of this?"

"A man who was chased to a dead end by a snow troll said here that he is familiar with this cave. Do you think I should believe it?" Annelotte showed no mercy.

"Well, this is just a coincidence... You also know that the two guys were chasing too closely at the time, and I was a little panicked..." Deville looked embarrassed. He saw that Annelotte was still noncommittal, and he frowned: "This It’s already a very fair transaction, aren’t you still satisfied, maybe you’re a bit greedy?”

Annelotte didn't care. She was pressing forward step by step just to see where Deville's bottom line was. Now that her goal had been achieved, she just added:

"I have a request, that is, we are not obligated to do our best to help you. If our lives are in danger, we will choose to escape."

Deville gritted his teeth: "Deal! You just try to help, you don't have to work hard."

"And more!" Regnar muttered again.

"What else?" Deville said dissatisfiedly. The price had already been negotiated, so what additional conditions did this guy want

"Your subordinates will be responsible for dismembering the monsters from now on. I... I can't stand it anymore! Ugh!" After saying this, Regnar couldn't bear it anymore, so he found a place where no one was around and started vomiting.

Annelotte said nothing beside her, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes. Deville on the side began to consider whether this deal was really worthwhile after seeing Regner's cowardice.

"Ouch!" Even after a long time, Regnar was still retching from time to time. Those scenes seemed to be imprinted in his mind. Now when he closed his eyes, the red scene appeared, and then his stomach The food inside rushed outside.

"Annie, don't you feel disgusted when you see those?" Regnar asked. In his understanding, Annelotte was a person who had never experienced adventure and seen blood, so Annelotte's calmness made him a little uneasy. .

"I try not to look," Annelotte replied casually.

"Of course Miss Annelotte can't look at it. How can those dirty and putrid things get into the eyes of a beautiful lady like Annelotte? This is simply a kind of blasphemy!" Deville started again.

"Thank you for the compliment." Annelotte said expressionlessly.

"I never praise, I only state the facts." Deville smiled elegantly. In addition to fighting these few hours, he has been sticking to Annelotte's side to try to win the girl's heart. Once such a talented mage joins, the pair of chambers of commerce will be It was good for the family, and he himself was very happy to spend his life with a beautiful woman like Annelotte.

Deville thought everything was going well, at least Annelotte didn't show any disgust or impatience along the way. But Regnar on the side didn't think so. He knew that Annelotte rarely showed her emotions. As far as he knew, there was only one person who could affect Annelotte's emotions, and that was himself. So he thought "you don't understand this girl at all" in his heart and didn't bother to argue with this guy.

Because there is no distinction between day and night in the cave, Regnar and others did not know how long they walked under the leadership of Deville. But just when everyone was getting impatient, the crystal-backed snow lizard that Deville mentioned They were finally found.
