Since there was a contract (sub), then there must be a master contract, or a contract (main). This was Chu Hao's understanding. If there was no such contract, then why did it have to be marked with the word "sub"? The Main God would definitely not do something superfluous, so there must be a master contract!
Because he was the team leader, he had the right to decide whether or not the team would ally with these dwarves. It was precisely because of this that when he came into contact with this contract, the Main God had informed him of its purpose. Obviously, Nohan had not been informed of its purpose. It was probably a team tool.
However, he was not in a hurry to think about this now. Chu Hao continued to sit on the spot. After Nohan received the contract, he began to study it seriously as if he was working in real life. On the other side, Bilbo Baggins had already begun to read his contract.
"The remuneration will be paid in cash. If there's a profit, it won't exceed one percent of the total number of people. Uh, it's still fair."
"The team won't be responsible for the consequences of the following injuries, including but not limited to tearing of the body, piercing of the body, and removing of the internal organs? What's this … burning to ashes? "
While Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves were struggling over how to die, on the other side, when Nohan finished reading the contract, Chu Hao's voice suddenly appeared in his mind before he could even speak. This gave him a fright, but he immediately calmed down, at least on his face. "Nohan, don't speak," Nohan said nothing.
This is a skill exchanged from the Main God's Space. You can think of it as telepathy or something like that. This contract is very important to us. I'll say three things to pay attention to here. First, we don't need gold or any valuable items. They're useless to us. Let me reveal something to you. We can exchange gold in the Main God's Space in tons, and it's extremely cheap. We don't need that. You can use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate. "
"Second, there's no problem with danger. Death doesn't matter, but what we need is a completely equal and mutually beneficial alliance. Whatever enemies they have, they are our enemies. And whatever enemies we have, the dwarves must also treat them as their enemies. This is the main point."
"Third, the target of our alliance can't be these dozen or so dwarves in front of you. Whether you use deception, persuasion, or reason, the target of our alliance must be the entire race of dwarves, or at least Thorin's bloodline. That is to say, all the dwarves in the Dwarven Kingdom at the foot of the mountain. He is the legal ruler of these dwarves, and at the same time, the only prince of these dwarves. He has the right to be the complete heir."
"I hope you can negotiate these three points for our team, and then I'll give you some chips. First of all, our team is very strong. I don't know about the others, but this foodie beauty is much stronger than you think. Just now, she seemed to be the only one who wasn't affected by Gandalf's aura. Then, the chips are that we have a large number of weapons, excellent weapons, modern alloy steel crossbows, and modern crossbows that are most in line with the principles of ergonomics and aerodynamics. Their power is comparable to modern firearms, and that's all. If you can negotiate a good result, I'll give you a position and protection in the team. You can decide for yourself."
You can make your own decisions. "Nohan pondered for a moment, and then smiled confidently. At the same time, he said in his heart," Understood, leader. Leave everything to me. But I still want to ask the most important point. What do we want … Of course, you know that charity without asking for anything is an idiotic act that no one would believe. We can't tell them the mission, so what do we want? "
Chu Hao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Fame, glory, let's talk about something more practical. How about a noble title among the dwarves? Or let's talk about something more practical … the Dwarves' Eternal Oath of Alliance. As long as the Undermountain Kingdom is reestablished, any one of us will be able to obtain their Eternal Oath of Alliance. Our enemies are their enemies. They and their descendants must protect us until the Undermountain Kingdom is destroyed. "
"Understood." Nohan smiled confidently.
He held the contract and said, "This contract is very complete. Of course, we also have some small questions. I wonder if you can answer them for us?"
Many dwarves looked over. In fact, although they had been arguing about whether the Hobbits should stay or leave, most of their attention was focused on Chu Hao's team. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, as long as they had a discerning eye, they could see that this team was not simple. At least a few of them were quite strong, especially Xi Kong, a half-elf. She could even be said to be very strong. This was a strong team and a great help to them. If possible, they did not want to lose this help.
The oldest dwarf immediately said, "Of course, Mr. Human, what do you think is wrong with this contract?"
Nohan smiled and said, "This contract is very complete. In fact, this contract is very generous. According to me, even if we only get one percent of the wealth of the country under the mountain, we can be considered as rich as a country. We don't have much hope for this. In fact, from another point of view, we think that you have given us too much wealth."
This statement was novel. Someone actually thought that they had given them too much money. What kind of statement was this?
Nohan continued, "In fact, money isn't what our mercenary group is after. Although it's a little rude to say this, we've also gone on several expeditions in Middle Earth. Although our wealth can't be compared to the legendary treasures of the kingdom at the foot of the mountain, it's enough for us to squander and pursue. So, we hope to get something more meaningful."
The dwarves suddenly fell silent. Sorin stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Then what do you want? Power? Crown? Or do you mean that our country under the mountain … "
Thorin didn't finish his words, and when Thorin paused, Nohan smiled and spread his hands, "Glory and adventure may sound unbelievable, but that's exactly what we're after. Our teammates, we're after the experience of being a warrior. That's why we're gathered here because we heard that we can fight against dragons. That's why we think that this contract only has money in it, and that's an insult to our team."
The dwarves couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even Sorin was relieved. He sat down and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Nohan pointed to the terms of the contract and said, "We're not after money, so in fact, we just want to achieve glory. So, it's not appropriate to position us as your subordinates. Of course, we respect your leadership position, and we have no intention of fighting for any leadership rights in this adventure. We just hope that you can slightly modify this position in the contract and position us as allies or allies. How about that? Our group does not need any gold or anything valuable. What do you think of this condition? "
Sorin looked at the dwarves around him and even Gandalf in surprise. Then he said in a deep voice, "I am not a stingy dwarf. No dwarf is stingy. I will not give you anything less than a copper coin. I can understand your pursuit of glory. I can clearly write the matters of alliance in this contract. In the future, when our experiences become legends and epics, people will praise you as the companions of I, Sorin Oakenshield, the son of Thorne, the grandson of Thor, and not my subordinates. This will give you equal status and endless glory. What else? Why don't you put forward your requests together? "
Nohan still wanted to say something, but Chu Hao immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our mercenary group pursues glory. In fact, we have an important mission. Although this mission is not to help you restore your kingdom and take back the city under the mountain, if you can restore your kingdom, it will undoubtedly make our mission easier. So, here, what we hope … is not just us and the dozen of you forming an alliance, but us as a whole, with you and your people, as well as all the dwarves who still recognize the Kingdom under the mountain. This is our most important condition. If possible, we will become your most powerful support. We will follow you to the Kingdom under the mountain. Our group will form an alliance with the dwarves of the entire Kingdom under the mountain, and we will give you the same support as an army."
(Alright, our group originally only had a godly bluffing leader, and now we have a talkative lawyer … In the future, we might as well rely on talking and bluffing to conquer the world.)
In the group, Zhang Heng and Tom both had their heads lowered. They were talking to each other through the Soul Chain because they felt ashamed to face anyone. This amazing leader and this amazing newcomer, their cooperation was flawless.
After hearing this, the dwarves around them were stunned. Then, they burst into laughter. Some of the dwarves even slapped each other and said, "They actually said that they can match an army. Haha, this is simply mocking us, haha …"
This time, even Sorin and Gandalf did not say anything. Gandalf bit on his pipe and looked at Team Nordic with a scrutinizing gaze.
On the other hand, Chu Hao seemed to have expected such a situation. He looked at his teammates and stood up slowly. At the same time, he said, "If I say that we can fight against an army, then we can fight against an army!"
As he spoke, a large number of runes appeared around Chu Hao. A powerful aura that was not inferior to Gandalf's descended, suppressing the laughter of the dwarves. At the same time, Gandalf's pipe fell from his mouth to the floor, but he did not notice it at all …
Wizard! The leader of this mercenary group named Hao was actually a wizard!
