"Everyone, stop it, the third round of gambling is over!"
Like a desolate mountain range, when Duke Midamoah stood on the arena, even the projection of the fire element field that shone brightly in the arena shook inexplicably.
Out of full respect for his master, Moriarty waved his hand and took back the red crystal gargoyle, while gently nodding at the other party. On the other hand, Ekaterina reluctantly held back her surprise, showing both unwillingness and disbelief.
He bowed his head and walked to his father's side.
"I declare that the winner of this battle is Lord Moriarty."
Without any meaningless delay, the Werewolf Grand Duke directly announced the result, and for the first time, he used the word "Your Excellency" on the young man in front of him. In this regard, even the most arrogant Ronnie Summer Palace
The knight is not unfair at all. After all, any professional who has mastered the field is fully qualified to gain the respect and respect of others, not to mention that "Your Excellency" Moriarty is far from that simple.
"Thank you for your fair judgment, Your Majesty the Duke. Also, as a junior and Margaret's friend, please just call me Morty." Moriarty nodded, showing a humble and friendly smile.
"Very good, Morty." The Duke also smiled, his attitude much friendlier than before.
"Then, female war priest, it's time to fulfill the bet. Please hand over the 'Pearl of Hydra' to me. I think, as the eldest daughter of the Duke and the noble shaman of the temple, I should keep it.
My own promise."
Then, Moriarty turned directly to Yekaterina and said sternly. However, the female werewolf just remained silent in response.
"Your Majesty the Duke?"
Seeing this, Moriarty didn't want to get entangled with the other party, so he looked at Duke Midamoah as the "guarantor". For the sake of the honor of the family and the dignity of Crow Lord, even if the Grand Duke still favors his daughter in his heart,
It is impossible to break one's promise in such a public occasion. Otherwise, it will not only be a serious blow to one's own prestige, but also give other political opponents a rare excuse and leverage, and even bring shame to Wolfgang's "golden name".
"You don't need to ask, father, I will give you the Pearl of Hydra." The female war priest is not an idiot, so she can't let herself fall into embarrassing passivity. She finally raised her head and said to Moriarty: "But I still have one condition."
"As a loser, you have no right to negotiate any terms with me!" Moriarty immediately snorted, his tone unceremonious.
"Okay... okay. It's not a condition, it's a hope!" In front of everyone, Yekaterina bit her lips tightly due to choking, her eyes were red, but she still refused to give up: "I hope you can agree to make a set of methods for me.
Professional magic suit. I will also pay enough money and price for it."
"Magical suit?" Moriarty looked at the female werewolf. Her expression was calm but as cold as ice: "Give me the 'Pearl of Hydra' first and then we can talk."
"Okay!" Gritting her teeth, Ekaterina took out the pink shiny ball from her waist bag and handed it to the other party.
"Thanks."
He nodded calmly. Moriarty took the pink bead, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then carefully put it away. On the opposite side, the female werewolf seemed to be unwilling to say anything, but at this time Moriarty turned directly and walked towards
The Werewolf Grand Duke.
"Your Majesty, then let's implement our agreement in accordance with our agreement. After returning to Erathia this time, I will send capable goblin craftsmen and some human technicians over, and then start preparations for copper mine excavation as soon as possible. As for the local
Please worry about the miners' labor and security personnel." With 35% of the equity in hand, Moriarty can say that he has gained a huge harvest, and the copper mine can produce copper ingots one day earlier, which is huge for Rheinburg.
resource assistance.
"No problem, that mine is relatively close to your side. If anyone from the human side notices it in the future and wants to come forward to disrupt the situation, Morty, you should be more patient."
Now that he has officially become a business partner, the Werewolf Grand Duke will no longer keep the information about the copper ore completely confidential. After the copper ore is produced, he will build a refining factory and even order weapons and equipment from Moriarty directly using copper ingot raw materials.
, these will involve larger and deeper cooperation. Therefore, although we paid 1.5% more equity than originally planned, we still have half the pros and cons, and it is not a complete loss.
"Okay, if it's a problem on Erathia's side, I will be responsible for solving it."
Moriarty was also forthcoming and promised to take on considerable responsibilities. And he indeed already had such confidence. As long as the war against the demons could be won, not only the Rhineburg, but even the entire Kent County aristocratic coalition could take advantage of this.
This "war opportunity" will expand their strength and influence. In this way, the southeastern corner of the human kingdom will become the domain of the Kent nobles.
"In addition, as for the alchemy potions, they will also arrive on the same ship as the first batch of goblin craftsmen. After that, I will ship the remaining goods in batches every quarter. Do you think this is okay?" Moriarty continued.
"Very good." Mitamoah nodded with satisfaction.
"So, you agree to support a reinforced squadron of my Wolf Cavalry?"
"Don't worry, you will definitely see them gathering next to your airship before leaving Belis." The Werewolf Grand Duke smiled nonchalantly. For him, dozens of groups of wolf cavalry are nothing more than a small number, and they can be mobilized at any time.
In place.
"Thank you very much." Moriarty bowed to the other party again.
After walking down from the arena, the Werewolf Grand Duke invited Moriarty to have a meal in the stone manor. The main course was Cloroder's famous dish "Rock Grilled Wild Ass Meat".
The wild ass is a cunning creature that lives deep in the hurricane wasteland. It usually lives in a group of up to ten animals. It has good endurance and high vigilance, so it is generally difficult to catch. The rock-grilled wild ass is one of the
The "fresh donkey meat" cut directly from the live wild donkey is grilled on a rough barbecue table made of a whole piece of shale. It is grilled raw with blood and skin, without even adding a little seasoning. The barbecue heat is perfect.
At this time, the thick gelatinous skin of the wild donkey meat will melt and drip down into fat, covering the whole piece of donkey meat, giving it a unique and wild aroma. Coupled with the flavor that is enough to make the cavity "explode"
"Bayoto Lie" is the delicacy most loved by Behemoth warriors.
In this very Behemoth-style banquet, it seemed that they wanted to regain some face of the host. Count Ronnie and several of his mid-level warriors came forward from the beginning to frequently toast or fight, planning to win during the banquet.
He defeated several Moriarty players on the field. However, Guderian played exactly what he wanted. He charged ahead from the beginning to the end and fought against all the Behemoth drunkards alone. He was worthy of the "good name" of the No. 1 wine barrel of Olympus.
.
"Morty, you are such a monster! A complete monster!"
After exchanging glasses of wine several times, the originally chilly atmosphere became completely warm. It seemed that he had completely recognized the other party's strong status, and with wine as a matchmaker, Ronnie no longer had the previous indifference, but instead became more friendly with him.
Moriarty huddled together, arms around each other.
"There are so many extremes in the world, so what do I mean? Not to mention others, your father, the Grand Duke of Midamoah, is probably not as simple as the high-level pinnacle he seems to be, right?" Although there are dwarves here.
He had to drink some wine in front of him, but Moriarty also drank a lot. At this time, his face was inevitably hot, and his speech was much more frank than usual.
"Hey, father, he... is certainly not something I can comment on..." After looking at the other party, the Summer Palace Knight nodded.
"So, if you don't become a powerful person, you won't even have the chance to deal cards at the table. Everything is just empty talk." Moriarty smiled again, full of pride.
"That's right! The temple, the Senate, the Great Junker, if it weren't for the support of the Ji Dao behind them, who would be able to speak forcefully!?" Stimulated by the other party's smile, Ronnie nodded again and again, feeling like a confidant.
.
"You are already a knight of the Summer Palace. If you take a few more steps, you will reach the level of the Grand Knight of the Kingdom. At that time, you will be the Supreme Lord, and you can travel across the continent without any taboos." Moriarty continued for Ronnie.
A glass of strong wine, clink the glass with it.
"Hey! The great knight of the country...hehe..." It seemed that there was something hard to say. Ronnie just had an unclear smile on his face, but couldn't explain the reason.
"Say Morty, what do you think about my sister? Tell me the truth. If you really have that intention, I will definitely help to make it happen!" After swallowing another cup full of bayonet, Ronnie suddenly
An old story is brought up again.
"Mary, she..."
This time, it was Moriarty's turn to be speechless. The matter between Helena and Mathil was far from resolved, so how could he dare to involve Margaret again. But the female werewolf's thoughts on him
Anyone can see it at a glance, and Ronnie is still saying that if Duke Sumidamoya came to inquire in person, Moriarty would probably be "forced to death" on the spot.
"If you don't speak, I understand that there must be something difficult." Seeing that Moriarty remained silent for a while, Ronnie didn't get angry as before. Instead, he sighed softly, and then lowered his voice and said: "But
Morty, you need to know that for the Junker women of Krolod, there is no freedom in their marriage. Whether it is a tribal marriage, or as a concubine of a higher-level noble Junker, or even named by the temple
Being unable to marry for the sake of being a 'maid of the inner temple' may leave Mary with no choice. Do you plan to watch her being ridden by other males? Or live a lonely life with the ghostly light deep in the temple.
?”
"I...I don't want to..."
Finally, under the pressure of Ronny Chiguoguo, Moriarty vomited out her hidden thoughts. At this moment, alcohol and male instinct easily tore apart the rationality and will that were usually guarded and guarded, and the words "If she is happy
"I will go far away" can easily become a pale self-deception.
As expected, there are very few men who are not monsters who grow in strength and ambition at the same time.
The more you get, the more you desire, and your desires are hard to satisfy.
"Brother Ronnie, don't force him again!"
Suddenly, Margaret's voice sounded behind the two of them, with trembling, satisfaction, and regret. (To be continued...)
