482 Looting while the fire is on
Mavis's words looked very idiotic and unreasonable, but in fact, she was not an idiot at all, and her questions were also very reasonable.
The three people present, the head of the Fashu family and Mavis, are all nobles, both of them have the unique careful thinking of the nobility, and it is the instinct of the nobility to use the noble status to find protection for other people, which is also the privilege and convenience brought by their noble status.
And many times, a seemingly rude sentence stimulates people, but it can stimulate people's nature, which is one of the social skills.
But what Mavis didn't expect was that Beta didn't play his cards according to common sense, he didn't get angry, nor did he ignore it coldly, but said very commonly:
We don't know each other.
If Beta agrees solemnly, then it means that Beta is a hot-blooded young man and can 'guide' well, if Beta is disdainful, indifferent, or pretends to be tactful to push the past, then it means that Beta is an old fritter like them.
But this commonplace, even somewhat straightforward attitude, made it a little difficult for them to guess Beta's character, because they had never seen such a nobleman, or a professional.
The three of them glanced at each other, and then it was the black-armed Givado who spoke first, and there was a strange glint in his little eyes: "Well, since everyone is not a sincere person, then let's talk about it, Lord Beta, how can you protect us?" ”
As the night progressed, and the range of the sun-drenched magic diminished slightly, Beta tapped lightly on the table, and instead of answering Givado's question, he asked rhetorically, "You and the city lord Joshua have a 'misunderstanding'?" ”
The faces of the three of them were a little strange, and the head of the Fashu family touched his mustache and said: "Actually, this is not a too secret thing, Yarlin's words just now, you must have heard it, we do have a misunderstanding with the city lord of Joshua, our family has conflicts with the city lord in business, the black arm organization is in the way of him, and Mavis is unwilling to marry one of Joshua's henchmen, and is hated." ”
Beta nodded, then suddenly asked, "You seem to look down on me, why, we should still meet for the first time!" ”
This is too straightforward, this kind of conversation that goes straight to the root of the problem rarely occurs among the nobles, and the head of the Fashu family is extremely uncomfortable, and his throat is choked for a while before he says: "Since you asked, then I will say it directly." Joshua was raised to the position of city lord, and you wanted to raise a dog, but you raised a white-eyed wolf, and this kind of vision is really bad. ”
It turned out that was the case, and Beta understood what was going on, and he looked at Givador and Mavis and asked, "In other words, you all know who I am." ”
None of the three spoke, but many times, silence was a sign of acquiescence.
After a while, Givador said: "Joshua is so young, but he can grab the position of city lord in the chaotic situation a year ago, we will definitely have curiosity, and we will find out after a check, besides, our black arm has also worked with Joshua for a while before, of course it is not difficult to know this matter." Actually, I have the same opinion as the head of the Fashu family, you really don't have a human eye, Your Excellency Beta. ”
Givador was not an aristocrat, so when he spoke, he brought honorifics.
"So we think that even if you push the dog up, it will be better than Joshua." ”
People will change, at that time, the people around Beta, Joshua could barely take the position of city lord, Kyle didn't say it, simple and upright, a typical brave mentality, he was the city lord, even if he didn't make the whole city worse, sooner or later he would be killed by others, Alice herself was the successor of Bronze Drum City, although the more territory, the better, but at that time she was not mature, her mind was all on Kyle, let her be the city lord, not much better than Kyle.
As for Emma, she also has a territory, and the situation between the eldest prince and the second prince for the throne at that time is not clear, if Emma dares to take another economic town, then in the eyes of the eldest prince, it will definitely become very threatening, and it is strange not to send troops to attack.
Of course, these things, Beta will not tell outsiders, he just said in a very ordinary tone: "Who is the city lord has nothing to do with me. ”
Mavis's god was obviously very unavoidable, and as if he wanted to say something, Givador patted the table lightly and said, "Okay, actually, we'll talk about it later, but now we just want to know one thing, Lord Beta, how can you protect us." ”
"Then you have to see if you deserve my protection." Beta smiled.
"Two hundred gold coins, I'll buy my own life." Givador said without hesitation: "As long as I go back alive, the gold coins will definitely be given with both hands." ”
The head of the Fashu family snorted: "It's also two hundred gold coins, and I will buy my own life." ”
Mavis originally wanted to kill the bargain, this is the nature of women, but she looked at the other two men, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I also have two hundred gold coins." ”
Beta looked at them and smiled: "Sicilian City is an economic powerhouse, I don't have to think about it to know that you are very rich, four hundred gold coins per person, no bargaining, I can guarantee your safety." ”
Upon hearing this, Mavis screamed, "You are crazy, four hundred gold coins, why don't you go and rob it." ”
Beta said as a matter of course: "I'm just grabbing money right now, and if you don't want to, you can skip paying." ”
Mavis was so angry at this that her chest fell together...... The extreme anger made the meanness on her face seem to be much less.
Fa Shu said helplessly: "You are too greedy, four hundred gold coins, this is the accumulation of our family for decades, can it be cheaper." ”
"You can bargain, but I won't agree."
Beta smiled, her expression quite fresh and beautiful, but in the eyes of others, it was a kind of 'I've got you' calm.
The skeletons outside moved closer to the aperture, and some strange skeleton creatures appeared, such as the Black Knight riding a skeletal horse. The fire of death in the hole of their eye bones is not red, but green.
The strength of the undead creatures can be seen from their undead fires, which are ranked in order from weak to strong, red, green, white, and purple.
The red skeleton has a very ordinary strength, but the necromancer who has the green undead fire for many years is already an elite-level professional.
And the three of Givados, whose strength has not even reached the elite, are impossible to survive under the attack of the black knight.
The three of them stared at the undead who were about to move outside, and after gritting their teeth, it was Givado who was the first to speak, and he said painfully: "Okay, if you win, four hundred gold coins will be four hundred gold coins, and I will give it." ”
