"I'll bring it over later. I'll be quick."
Henry smiled as he answered Akasha's request. His previous restraint was nowhere to be seen.
Davey didn't give up. He frowned and said, "Miss Akasha, I advise you to think about it, or else —"
Before he could finish his words, Akasha had already turned around and walked away. She didn't care about him at all.
"You —"
Davey's expression changed again. Even if he had a good temper, he couldn't stand being ignored like this. He immediately reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist …
However, just as he was halfway through his action, an eight-man patrol team ran over under the guidance of the "Holy Light Spell".
Davey didn't take these soldiers seriously at all. Instead, he shouted arrogantly, "The Wolverine Mercenary Group is on a mission! If you don't know what's good for you, get lost! "
At the same time, he didn't forget to turn his head and said to the people behind him, "No need to continue talking. Do it!"
The mercenaries responded and were obviously ready to drag Akasha away. This kind of "kidnapping" sounded absurd, but in the masterless Kiger Town, the "Earth Emperor" Leslie had done many similar things.
"What do you want to do?"
Before they could take two steps, the bearded Ruger raised his hand and stopped them. The mercenaries heard his words and laughed loudly. Davey's face was even more ferocious. He pointed his sword at Ruger and said, "You are Sodelor's men, right? Go back and tell him that anyone who dares to go against us will pay the price! A bunch of bullsh * t patrol team dares to yell at me? "
He pointed at the deputy leader's emblem on his chest. "Do you see it clearly? If you don't want to die, run! Our leader wants that woman! "
Ruger was originally expressionless, but Davey's last sentence caused the expressions of him and the scouts behind him to change instantly.
Every one of them had received treatment from Akasha on the battlefield. It could even be said that without her, half of the soldiers in this team would have died on the battlefield!
With such kindness … the respect they had for Akasha was unimaginable. When Lu Ge heard these people saying that they wanted to harm Akasha, he immediately held onto the hilt of his sword.
However, Davey didn't realize this. He cursed, "Get lost!" and raised his leg to kick Lu Ge to the side. However, just as he took a step forward, he realized … that he had picked on the wrong person to be unreasonable.
Davey had never imagined that the eight of them would be able to pull out their swords in such unison. When the sound of swords being unsheathed erupted, the vice leader of the mercenary group felt a chill in his heart. He instinctively felt the overwhelming killing intent!
"This is —"
"Fight!"
Ruger roared angrily. Together with the scouts, they pounced on the mercenaries like ferocious tigers. Luke and the others originally wanted to fight in close combat, but they did not expect that they would be knocked down on the spot in just one move!
Fortunately, Lu Ge said "beat" and not "kill". Otherwise, this place would have been covered in blood!
But even if they were holding back, when their strengths were not on the same level, such a duel would not have any suspense.
"I won't let you go —"
"Bang!"
"Leader, he …"
"Bang!"
"If you guys continue to do this …"
"Bang!"
Seeing Davey howling in pain, Henry laughed unabashedly. Akasha, on the other hand, did not feel anything. She only looked from afar and sighed. Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, she turned around and saw Roddy and Natha walking over.
"Someone actually wanted to kidnap you on the street?"
The surrounding onlookers were discussing this matter. Rody only needed to listen to a few sentences to understand the ins and outs of the matter, so at this time, his tone was quite joking. "It seems that being too beautiful is also troublesome."
"I-I'll try not to come out —"
Akasha's expression was originally very calm, but after hearing Roddy's words, she immediately blushed and lowered her head. This was the first time she heard Roddy say that she was beautiful. She instantly forgot what she wanted to say and only stared at the ground shyly.
"It's not wrong to be beautiful. I think it's just that these guys are sick." Roddy shook his head and looked at Davey, who was struggling to get up in the distance. He muttered to himself, "It seems that sometimes hiding too deeply is not a good thing …"
His team still had a long way to go. Keeping a low profile was to avoid trouble, but if there were always clowns like the "Wolverine Mercenary Group" popping out to obstruct them … then it could only mean that Roddy was "too low profile".
This matter gave Roddy some new ideas about the development strategy. He secretly made a decision in his heart and then said goodbye to Lu Ge. He turned around and asked Akasha to leave with him, "Shall we go back together? I just wanted to ask you something about 'divine arts' … "
"O-Okay."
Akasha followed behind Roddy, her footsteps light and quick. Natha walked on the other side, her eyes coldly scanning the surroundings. After a few steps, she sensed something strange behind her. She turned around and saw that the deputy leader with two broken front teeth was staring at her with wide eyes …
After just one glance, Natha indifferently looked away. She had no interest in dealing with such weaklings.
Lu Ge and the others stretched their muscles and bones, sheathed their swords and continued patrolling. The unlucky guys who were beaten to the ground were left alone on the streets …
"Go call for help! Call for help! "
"I will definitely tear them to shreds!"
Davey roared, but because of the anger, he directly fainted …
*****
What Roddy did not expect was that when he returned to the manor, Suren was actually waiting for him at the gate.
"What's going on?"
Roddy clearly saw that Suren's eyebrow had a wound that was still bleeding. His clothes were a little wrinkled, and he was carrying a bag on his back. He looked like a refugee who had lost his home because of a natural disaster.
"I'm fine." Although he looked disheveled, Suren seemed to be in a good state of mind. He looked at Akasha and Natha behind Roddy, raised his eyebrows, and smiled. "Last time you asked me if I was willing to work for you. I was still hesitating, but now I have no more room to hesitate."
He shrugged and pointed to the bag on his back. "I'm here to seek shelter. Just give me some food."
"Someone touched your shop?" Roddy raised his eyebrows. "The Wolverine Mercenary Team?"
Suren did not care at all. He smiled. "A bunch of good-for-nothings came to destroy my shop. I knocked out two of them and ran away. I've already packed up my things. I didn't lose anything."
Although he said he didn't lose anything, the wound on his eye was not shallow at all. Roddy hurriedly asked Akasha to use Recovery to heal him. This surprised Suren. Didn't clergymen only listen to the church? Why did Roddy have such a powerful and obedient priest under his command?
He was really curious about Roddy's identity. He pointed to the manor and said, "This is Baron Sodelor's manor, right? Seems like you're his confidant? "
Akasha looked at the dwarf with a strange expression, and then looked at Roddy. Her mouth wriggled for a while, but she finally closed it. Roddy did not explain too much. "Sort of. We help each other and work hard for the same goal."
Suren nodded, thinking that he had guessed correctly. But just as he was about to enter the manor, he saw Sodelor rushing back on horseback.
Roddy raised his eyebrows. "You're back so early today?"
Sodelor jumped off his horse and sighed. "Don't mention it. There was an accident during the negotiations today. A mercenary team sent people to mess things up. We couldn't come to an agreement on the mine."
"The Wolverine Mercenary Team?"
"Huh? You knew? "
"No, I guessed." Roddy shook his head and then pulled Suren over to introduce him. "He's our exclusive leathermaker from now on."
Sodelor naturally knew that Roddy would not randomly find someone to chat with. He immediately smiled and greeted him. "Master Suren, I'm sure you'll be busy with the team's leather armor repair in the future. My name is Sodelor."
"Huh?"
Suren was about to answer, but he was completely stunned by the man's self-introduction. He was the baron? Then why did he treat Roddy like this? Was Baron Sodelor not the lord? Or … was this Roddy the most well-hidden noble?
Roddy naturally did not know what Suren was thinking. As they walked, he said, "Since you have nothing else to do today, I have some new ideas about the development of the territory. Do you have time to hear them?"
Sodelor smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "I think it's better if you just give me orders like before. This kind of negotiating tone is really embarrassing."
"Ideas don't change, but how can the times change?"
Roddy patted Suren's shoulder and smiled. "Who knows, maybe in the future, every commoner will be able to call the shots?"
