Moriel did not speak, but stared at Richard with interest, and casually took the wine brought by the bartender.
"It's a pity that the wine in this pub is not expensive."
"Then after drinking this cup, I invite you to go to my territory, there is a better place there."
"Oh? Are you still a lord?"
The interest in Moriel's eyes became even stronger. The original interest was because of Richard's good looks. In any case, as long as one has normal aesthetics, he will always be more interested in good-looking people.
"Of course, I rule a huge territory, several cities, and have more than 100,000 soldiers serving me."
Because he knew the conditions of the lord that Moriel wanted to join, Richard directly described his power to Moriel.
Moriel nodded noncommittally and commented:
"So-so"
It is certain that although Richard's strength is not weak, but from the point of view of Moriel, the dragon queen who once led all the dragons to rule the entire Negan, he can only be called so-so.
"Yes, I am not strong enough yet. If I can get your help, I think my territory will be even stronger."
"Oh, you want to recruit me?"
"yes"
Richard has basically figured out Moriel's character, which is straightforward, so there is no need to be too subtle, just express the intention of soliciting directly.
"Do you know how my last master died?"
Moriel stared into Richard's eyes, as if she wanted to see through Richard.
Richard still vaguely remembers the answer to this question. Moriel was once just a subordinate of a powerful lord Negan. Because he disliked the other party's sluggishness and lack of enterprising spirit, he simply replaced him and finally became Negan's new ruler. This is
Those who have a history of cheating on their master.
Speaking from the bottom of my heart, Richard must be cautious about using such a hero who is ambitious, has a record of betrayal, and is also powerful. But it is different now. He has a system. Dad, as long as Moriel agrees.
When he recruits, he is not afraid of betrayal by the other party.
And even if there is any accident, the reality is no better than the game. Whether it is the Hunter family's own army or the army recruited from the system city, they are loyal to Richard and cannot follow any hero to cause trouble.
So Richard is quite confident when facing Moriel.
"That's not important. How can such a sluggish lord compare with me? I believe that under my command, you will have more room to perform."
With the support of the system, Richard is indeed quite confident in his words, and of course he shows a generous and heroic demeanor as a leader. Even a heroic figure like Dragon Queen Moriel has to admit that this young and handsome lord is indeed so...
With a different kind of charm, Moriel really had the idea of agreeing to Richard's recruitment.
"Last question, you are just a lord now, do you have any thoughts of becoming a king?"
"King, that's not the case."
Moriel was a little disappointed after hearing this. She didn't want the lord she was loyal to to have another loyal partner.
But Richard's next words made Moriel's eyes light up and she made up her mind.
"What is a king? I want to be an emperor and become the emperor who unifies the entire continent and even the world. From the islands in the south to the snowfields in the north, from the ocean to the sky, humans, orcs, giants and even dragons must surrender under my command."
Isn't it just showing ambition? How can a human kingdom be enough? If you want to play, play big. If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish? Even gods should submit to the imperial power.
Sure enough, Richard's ambition quickly became the straw that broke the camel's back, and Moriel stood up and stretched out a hand.
"Keep your ambition alive and hope you don't disappoint me."
Moriel stood up and was almost 1.8 meters tall, only slightly shorter than Richard. Richard also stretched out a hand and put it on Moriel's palm.
"It will not let you down."
"The heroic unit Moriel has joined your team."
The system's prompt sound sounded in Richard's ears like the sound of nature, and he finally tricked the person into joining his team.
Richard seemed to have conquered Moriel relatively easily through his rhetorical skills. In fact, it was better to get help from the system. Just like Elena and others before, as long as they showed corresponding characteristics based on the intelligence they found out, they would be cast.
It is easy to impress the opponent with his good intentions, and there are also some people who are obviously not suitable to be recruited under his command, but they can be avoided in time without causing subsequent trouble.
"Lord? How long will you hold my hand?"
"Uh... I'm sorry, I'm rude."
Richard was excited for a moment, and kept his hand on Moriel's hand. Not to mention, a strong man like Moriel had already completed his life and existed for a long time. His skin was not as rough as that of an ordinary martial artist. Richard touched it
The hand holding Moriel still felt a little smooth and tender.
However, after being reminded by Moriel, Richard quickly took his hand off, because it was worth losing his favor for such a small thing.
"Lord, take me to see your territory and army. It would be best if you have a dragon. I will conquer the entire continent for you."
Moriel was even more impatient than Richard. Although she was influenced by some systems and decided to be loyal to Richard, her nature has not changed, and her ambition to conquer is burning.
However, Richard remembered something after Moriel's reminder. Moriel's dragon specialty can be superimposed with Richard's command specialty. When Moriel and Richard are present at the same time, Moriel's bonus to the dragon will
Cheng and Richard's advanced offensive and defensive techniques take effect at the same time. When the number of dragons increases, the dragon army may really become Hunter's iconic army.
"But, Lord, can I make a suggestion to you?"
"Um?"
"Please pay attention to your body and don't use some forbidden techniques that harm your origin. I don't want your empire to suddenly lose its emperor when it is halfway through its establishment."
Moriel obviously saw that Richard was in a weak state and thought that Richard had used some forbidden techniques at the expense of his life force, so he gave some words of advice.
"Well, I will pay attention. Sometimes I have no choice."
The price of using the God-killing Ring can indeed be regarded as using a forbidden curse in a sense.
"In the future, I will clear out all enemies for you, so you don't have to use such forbidden techniques anymore."
Richard nodded. What Moriel said made Richard a little touched.
However, Moriel's attitude is different from Elena's. Elena's attitude changed very quickly after she pledged her allegiance to Richard. She completely abided by the etiquette of knights and lords, while Moriel seemed a little more casual.
Fortunately, Moriel is produced by the system, so there won't be any big problems with loyalty. With Moriel's strength, Richard will not get entangled in such small issues.
Just as Richard was about to leave with Moriel, he seemed to think of something. After paying the bill and standing at the door, Richard suddenly turned around and looked at the unlucky knight suffering from hemophobia just now.
He saw the other party looking at him eagerly, looking hesitant.
What Richard and Moriel just said was not deliberately whispered, but the elite champion knight Chernik heard it clearly.
Richard's strength may not sound like much to Moriel, but to Chernik's ears, he is already a great lord. With several cities and an army of 100,000, Chernik has never been loyal to such a powerful lord.
The key is that the other party is still recruiting subordinates. If it weren't for his pride and the rules of the tavern, Chernik would have wanted to go up and ask the other party to accept him. Seeing that the other party looked like he was about to leave, Chernik was about to be disappointed again.
Richard turned his head.
"This knight, I am recruiting some men who are willing to fight for me. Are you willing to be my knight?"
"Extremely happy."
Sure enough, recruiting this elite champion knight is not difficult at all. You don’t need to waste words, just express a little meaning, and the other party will seize this opportunity to come to you.
Moriel stood aside, looking at Richard recruiting another customer in the tavern with an indifferent expression. Anyway, the other party's strength was not necessary in Moriel's opinion. At her peak, Moriel controlled more than three digits of dragons.
Who cares about this?
In the end, Richard and Moriel walked out of the tavern almost side by side, with Chernik following obediently. Apart from the boss, there was only a lone Evil God King left in the tavern.
"boom!"
The moment Richard walked out with Moriel and Chernik, the door of the tavern closed automatically and the dim yellow lights dimmed.
