Chapter 7 Thieves have never gone empty since ancient times
If there is anything more troublesome than being with these monsters, it is how to keep them in harmony like this; by the time they finally stopped, the sky outside had already begun to gradually become darker.
"The sun is about to set, so go back and rest..." Zhou Junli sighed, looking helplessly at Arong who was following him. This girl was using her name of protecting herself in close proximity.
Arong raised his little head and stared at Zhou Junli's eyes and said word by word: "No, I know you are going out. It is very dangerous if you are out without anyone to protect him."
"What's the danger in Linyuan City..." Zhou Junli scratched his head, looking indifferent; but suddenly he found something was wrong: "How do you know I'm going out?"
Zhou Junli obviously didn't tell anyone, let alone these "heroic spirits" who didn't do anything in the afternoon and just quarrel...
Arong seemed very surprised why his master asked such a stupid question and acted as if he was taken for granted: "Of course I have been following me all afternoon... to secretly protect my master."
“…”
Zhou Junli had no way of pretending that he had heard nothing.
"I just went to the Chamber of Commerce, not far away; there was no need for guards or something..." Zhou Junli reached out and touched Arong's head. Looking at Arong's awkward expression, he couldn't treat her as a red-level "Abyss Watcher", but more like his grown-up sister.
Well, if Zhou Junli hadn't seen Arong hold a knife around someone else's neck before, he would definitely think so.
"Chamber of Commerce?" Arong blinked his eyes, and the extension gradually became dangerous: "Is it the woman in the morning?"
It seems that even these heroes can sense external news when they are in the "activated" state of the Hero Spirit Temple; but can even distinguish between men and women?
This time, Zhou Junli went to Karona to go there for the so-called Guan Wen; he was going to fight with the barbarians, so it would be too much to charge Annas for some protection fees and management fees? After all, he refused his request for support.
If you don’t even meet this small requirement, it would be too unreasonable.
"No, I must follow the master!" Arong's voice suddenly became louder, he grabbed Zhou Junli's cuff tightly and said loudly: "Isn't that... going to call me recently? If you go out alone at this time, it would be very dangerous!"
Do you really know who is going to call me? You probably forgot what you look like?
Anyway, it's not a big deal, or let her follow you.
In fact, after Zhou Junli knew that there was an Annas Chamber of Commerce in his territory, he had tried to communicate with them using the etiquette of nobles, but he didn't know when he was infected by Karona and became more and more casual.
With its development to this point, Karona can almost regard Quartz Castle as her second home, and Zhou Junli is increasingly not taking the Annas Chamber of Commerce seriously.
When both sides saw that their boss looked like this, they were unwilling to make things boring. After all, there would be no good end to offend his boss when he was in a place where Black Rose could not shit.
In this way, with everyone pretending to be deaf and dumb, Zhou Junli can sometimes talk about Karona about some very "private" topics.
For example, the information about the barbarians was the news that Zhou Junli had spying on Karona for a night before he was caught.
I did nothing but this for a whole night; no one would do such a thing.
Zhou Junli did not wear that slim and exquisite aristocratic outfit; although the outfit was comfortable to wear, it didn't want to attract too much attention on the street; he only wore a black robe on himself and Arong and walked towards the direction of the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, the sun had not yet set completely, and there was no need for the Black Rose Corps to make a policy similar to a curfew; but there were still very few pedestrians around, not only because they learned that they were going to fight the barbarians and many people returned to the depths of the kingdom with the departure chamber of commerce; more importantly, the despair brought by the Principal of Moss about the barbarian power.
This kind of despair cannot be smoothed even with Zhou Junli's Usar City Crossbow and the upgraded city.
The pedestrians who occasionally passed by were not concerned about Zhou Junli and Arong in black robes; their faces were filled with indelible anxiety, and the entire street was filled with indescribable depression.
"Every time I see Linyuan City like this, I feel that what the Paladin said is becoming more and more reasonable..." Zhou Junli sighed. Although his Linyuan City has the name of a "city", in fact, it is not even a small town in the Principal of Annas, right?
The headquarters of the Annas Chamber of Commerce can be said to be one of the tallest buildings in the entire Linyuan City except for the Quartz Castle. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Junli always felt that the architectural style of the Annas Chamber of Commerce seemed to copy his castle...
As soon as Zhou Junli walked into the Chamber of Commerce, everyone's eyes were on him. If it were an ordinary Chamber of Commerce, their boss's wife would have ambiguous relationship with the local lord. No one would dare to say anything, but this Chamber of Commerce is different. This is the Annas outpost dressed in the Chamber of Commerce's skin.
Looking at his boss, Lord Karona, who can immediately advance to the angel, is mixed with a little lord who occupies the most barren territory all day long, and no one is good at it.
However, after coming here so many times, Zhou Junli has long been used to it.
But Zhou Junli's habit does not mean that Arong's habits around him.
Just as Arong noticed those malicious eyes, her bright red pupils instantly occupied the entire eye socket, and there was no trace of white eyes; it was as if scarlet blood was about to flow out.
All the eyes that looked at Zhou Junli couldn't help but feel cold on their backs, and their throat seemed to be stuck by someone, and even breathing became extremely difficult; many people even rolled under the counter.
"Gu...Save..."
"Ha ha......"
Zhou Junli frowned and patted Arong's head; then the eyes that were hidden under the hood that made people feel cold in their hearts returned to their original state, and they raised their heads and stared at Zhou Junli with their innocent big eyes.
“Yeah~”
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Junli. He turned his head and found that Karona had stood behind him at some point. He looked at Arong, who stared at Karona with his pupils like rubies staring at Karona with interest.
"Go in and talk."
Karona knew that this place was not a good place to speak. She looked at the tilted guards and managers and frowned slightly; she was not angry, but was a little surprised that the little girl could easily put them on.
Although there are no knights in this place, it is very difficult to solve them all so quickly, but the girl seemed to just look at them...
Interesting... Karonna stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: This guy is so fun... I must see if you can drive away the barbarian guys.
Zhou Junli skillfully came to Karona's bedroom. In fact, he refused at the beginning, but there was no way. What if Karona didn't beat her up? She couldn't beat her.
Well, there is absolutely no other reason.
But when Arong saw this scene, his face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes were getting worse and worse when he looked at Karona.
"I really like your taste, Lord Lord." As soon as Karona returned to her bedroom, she fell into the sofa, looking comfortable: "Especially the thing you designed called the sofa, Lord Fianna will definitely be happy."
Very good. I didn’t call me Lord Lord before, but now I suddenly become sarcastic?
When he first came to this territory, the lord's chair seemed to have been simply carved by stones. Zhou Junli was used to sitting there. After getting familiar with Karona, Zhou Junli used technology to produce simple sofas before Karona could barely produce simple sofas. However, in this world, a sofa is too expensive, otherwise there would be an additional income in the territory.
"Are you really not going back with me? The barbarians are at the gate." Karona said as she curled up into the soft sofa, and there seemed to be a pleasant curve on the corner of her mouth: "That Monroe, I have asked him to go back with the chamber of commerce tomorrow. Are you really planning to have a life-and-death relationship with the barbarians?"
Zhou Junli sighed, pissed A Rong down to the point where he was blown up, and said helplessly: "I can't deal with the barbarians... Isn't this here to find you..."
Karona made a stop gesture, turned around and said to herself, "Didn't I say that Annas will not come to help you; I can't do anything about this."
"If the barbarians occupy the Black Rose, wouldn't you Annas directly confront the barbarians? You should know that the only safe way to the outside of the Black Rose is the path leading to Annas; you Annas guard the abyss, but the barbarians don't care about these..."
"Of course, we won't let Annas send troops to help us, but the supplies here are too scarce; it's really..."
Karona raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Junli, showing an extremely charming smile, her little head slightly raised, and said, "You said it earlier. Can't this little request satisfy you?"
There are not many other Annas, but their domestic resources are not much less abundant than the rich lands of the northern barbarians, not to mention that Annas will operate more than the barbarians; compared to the country, they are willing to spend some money to shut up their neighbors; after all, they are a little too busy because of the abyss problem.
"Tell me, I'll give you all the money you want!" Karona patted her chest and promised Zhou Junli; she looked at the trembling sinful Arong's face getting darker and darker, and she even bit her lips unconsciously...
But Zhou Junli is now full of the next one to build a building, and he has not noticed Arong's appearance next to him. With the "aid" of the Principal of Annas, maybe he can develop a wave of buildings in the territory without waiting for the counterattack of the barbarians.
"I don't want money." Zhou Junli smiled and shook his head: "I only have some resources that are not painful to the Principality of Annas."
