Although Uzov Gantia wanted to be more tactful in his words, for glass-hearted nobles, disobeying them meant that it was an unforgivable crime. The baron in front of him was no exception. But he
Instead of baring his teeth like a furry cat, he revealed a sinister and indifferent gaze, stared at Uzov for a while, and then said:
"What if we change the way and use your life, President, in exchange for that magician to serve me? Do you think your master would be willing to give up such a valuable follower like you?"
"Yes, please don't doubt it."
"ah?"
Uzov answered without hesitation, but the Baron didn't know how to answer. He just looked at the person in front of him blankly.
However, although Uzov felt helpless about the situation he said, he did not show any regret or remorse. He just said plainly: "Sir, let me give you an analogy. If I use the names of the three servants behind you,
As a threat to your life, you are required to hand over your noble title, territory, wife, daughter, and family heirlooms. Will you agree?"
The baron, the two soldiers and a deacon standing behind him, all shook their heads subconsciously. But then everyone realized something was wrong, and the baron argued angrily: "This is different. You are not a guard, nor
He is not a user of the family, but a man who has mastered a technical guild and has such great power. Such value cannot be compared with ordinary followers."
Although the baron spoke unscrupulously and belittled the people he brought with him, they did not seem to notice the contempt in his words, and instead paid more attention to Uzov's reaction.
Uzov, who was stared at by several grown men, chuckled and said, "Thank you for your support and for attaching so much importance to me. But you also said that the key point is indeed value. But have you ever thought that value depends on people?"
Strangely, not everyone is the same. The technical guild that seems valuable to you is just a dispensable thing to my master. Things that many people think are valuable may not be considered valuable in the eyes of magicians.
There is just that little difference, including my life."
Uzov's unspoken subtext was immediately understood by the two soldiers serving as guards. In the eyes of those big shots, are the lives of small people like them important? Those who say yes must not know those high-ranking big shots.
.
However, unlike the two little people who felt sad about the death of a rabbit, the Baron actually found an opportunity. He showed a sly look and said in a provocative tone: "Since the president has such resentment, have you ever thought that you are worth it?"
Getting more. Being exploited or even asking for unconditional payment is not what a kind and generous host should do. So what will you do when there is an opportunity to get back what you deserve?
s Choice?"
The baron was careful to use his words and not to make a blatant offer. But anyone who was not mentally retarded could understand the meaning behind his words.
Uzov Gantia was surprised. He was surprised that his attitude seemed to be so unstable. He was also surprised that the nobleman in front of him did not reflect at all. He still looked at everything in the world with that kind of conspiracy and calculation. Like this
Attitude was the main reason why he joined the Turtle Dove Alliance in the past. The Master regarded everything in the world as ants; so he wanted to prove that ants can also bite people to death!
However, the radical ideas of his youth, although Uzov is not yet at the age where he is powerless, have also lost their edge and become much more tactful. At least he has not thought about simply shaking his head and walking away, or pointing at the opponent.
The nose cursed.
Doing that way will leave nothing behind except a moment of pleasure and making the other party feel unhappy for a moment. In the end, you will still have a conversation with fists and kicks. In this case, why not greet the other party first from the beginning! You can also get the upper hand and seize the opportunity.
But these were all actions of those young and frivolous years, and I would not do them again today.
Suppressing the urge to take the tea cup used for entertaining guests on the table and open it for him. Uzov showed his helplessness and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you think I am following that magician for some benefit."
Is it?"
Looking at the conspicuous three-feathered bird mark on the clothes of the person in front of him, the Baron was also stunned. If there is anyone who cannot be bought with money, the members of the Turtle Dove Alliance are definitely among them. These hateful guys are simply like
Just like rich people who have grudges, they target them everywhere and make trouble everywhere.
But if it's not for money... the baron said hesitantly: "Then you want more power? Maybe I can lend my power..."
"Sir, don't tell me how serious you are in this sentence. Just tell me whether you believe it or not. I am in a city of magicians. I can achieve such a level. I am afraid that I have reached the extreme and even reached the point where...
It's on the verge of danger. If you want to continue moving forward, you may need to rely on the power of the nobles. But I doubt what role you can play in the holy city of Estali. Not to mention that you even have the power of the Gwana Empire.
How can you make a difference in the Holy City if you have no identity?"
What Uzov didn't say was that the other party was just a mere baron. With such an identity, he could only dominate his own territory; outside, he was just a pawn under the real big shots.
It's just a role.
Such a person has not really entered the core of the powerful circle. Unless his title of baron is a secondary title of a great nobleman and is inherited by the second and third sons of the family. In this case, maybe the family power behind it is worth something.
But even so, this is not what Uzov is pursuing. It can be said that the Technology Guild was an accident from the beginning. At this point, Uzov's idea of ​​continuing is just to help more people and provide funding.
Just more comrades from the alliance. If someone wants to replace him, he will definitely give up happily. You know, he is just running a tavern in his hometown.
"Then for ideals?" the Baron continued to guess. "Just following a magician, what ideals are you talking about? What future can he give you? Territory? Title? Money? Or women?"
"Ha, in the eyes of nobles, are these the only ideals?" Uzov, who couldn't help it, finally mocked openly.
The contemptuous tone will certainly arouse the dissatisfaction of the listener. The two lightly-armed soldiers saw that of the five people in the reception room, they had four, and the other party was alone. They did not confiscate anyone's weapons, and yet they dared to speak so rudely, how could it be possible?
There was no anger. The two guard soldiers immediately drew their swords and cursed Uzov for being ungrateful. They even prepared to move forward to arrest him, one on the left and the other on the right.
But following the magician, who was recognized as a follower after all, how could he not have any weapons nearby? Uzov did not hesitate and pulled out a Smith & Wesson M29 from the holster under his side, which was once owned by a certain person. A revolver for self-defense, with two neat shots to the left and right!
The magic gun of Midland does not make a loud noise like the gunpowder weapons of Earth. But in terms of power, it is not inferior at all, or even more powerful. It can penetrate light breastplates at close range, and it is no problem at all. The two soldiers who had drawn their guns fell straight to the ground like sacks filled with food, uncertain whether they were alive or dead.
