MTL - Summoning the Holy Sword-Chapter 23 Skirmish

Metz can swear to God that he has never had such a delicious breakfast in his life.

Although it is placed on the shabby wooden table in front of it, it is just some very ordinary white bread, beef and vegetable thick soup, but compared to the day before, eating dried meat slices and drinking cold spring water, this is almost already considered The taste is comparable to that of the royal palace.

"Praise the great Holy Spirit, thank the Holy Spirit for giving us food ..."

This was probably the most devout prayer before Metz, but before he could express his gratitude, a voice came.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Metz, to be a believer."

Hearing this, Metz hurriedly opened his eyes, and then he saw Rhodes and Li Jie walking down the stairs and sitting in front of him. The young man still had a calm expression. I really couldn't see whether he was sarcastic or telling the truth, so the fat businessman could only smile awkwardly.

"This ......... Always have gratitude for food, it has nothing to do with believers or non-believers ..."

Speaking of which, the fat businessman obviously did not intend to get entangled in such boring things, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Next, what are the plans for the two?"

Facing the inquiries of the fat businessman, Rhodes did not immediately answer. He beckoned for two breakfasts before he said.

"Mr. Mays, are you?"

"I?"

Hearing Rhode's inquisition, Metz froze, then lowered his shoulders in despair.

"In my case, I only went to Shenshicheng to apologize to the consignees, and then compensated them for their losses. Hey, this time is really bad luck. Not only did I pay for the goods, but I also lost a lot of money. My luck is really not so good………"

"Sorry, sorry ..."

When I heard this, Li Jie was apologetic, which is no wonder. After all, it was her mercenary regiment responsible for protecting the merchant and his goods. Now that the goods have been lost, it can be said that they have not been able to complete them well. task. Although many people think that this kind of thing is just an accident, as a very responsible person, Li Jie still has no way to let go.

"No, no, it's not just Miss Li Jie, your problem, I'm wrong too."

Perhaps it was because he was back in a peaceful environment. Metz's performance was not as trembling as before, revealing the smart and capable side of his businessman again.

"I knew that this kind of thing would happen in that ghost place, and I wouldn't do it if I killed him, hey, but it's a bit late to say these things now, and now I can sit here alive without becoming those terrible beasts in the forest. Dinner, thanks to two people. "

Having said that, the fat businessman stopped, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and then he reached into his arms and took out two money bags.

"This is a reward for two people, Miss Li Jie, thank you for saving my life several times. Without you, I'm afraid I won't live now."

"No, no, no, this, this is what I should do, after all, we took your money ..."

Looking at the money bag pushed by the fat businessman, Li Jie jumped up in a hurry, shaking her hand a little uneasily, but Metz was obviously a slippery head. He didn't listen to Li Jie at all, and turned to sit next to him. Rhodes.

"Mr. Rhodes, especially you ... Frankly, without you, the two of us may really not be able to get out of this forest at dusk. I know that this money is not much for a nobleman. Work is a little bit of my heart. "

"Don't be so polite, Mr. Metz."

Rhode glanced at the wallet, but did not reach for it.

"You also saved my life. If it weren't for your order to stop the ship, I'm afraid I would have become a beast's meal, so I think you can put away the money."

"This one…………"

Hearing Rhode's words, Metz looked pale. He can be tough against Li Jie, but he doesn't dare to do it to this young man. In fact, the money is not only for repaying, but also for wanting to have a close relationship with Rodra. Although the fat businessman wants to accept Rod, he does not dare to force too much, so as not to cause dissatisfaction. As a businessman, he has dealt with aristocracy a lot, knowing that many aristocrats value their face, dignity and identity. Especially this kind of very talented young people, most of them have high self-esteem, and some strange. So he didn't dare to ask the other party to accept it like Li Jie, but after showing a slight awkward smile, he took out a small silver badge from his arms.

"Since Mr. Rhode said this, then I will not force it any more. Please accept this badge. This is a token of our Silver Hand Chamber of Commerce. Although our Chamber of Commerce is not powerful on Dragon Soul Mainland, but It's a small place. If you want to use our place later, please tell us as much as possible, we will do our best. "

This time, Rhodes did not reject the goodwill of the other party, and in fact, he was waiting for this.

Rhodes is very clear about the ideas of these merchants. In their view, money is often above all else, and even their own lives can be bought and sold with money. The reason why he took out the money was just to repay the two people for his life-saving grace, but the matter was declared over after the transaction between the two parties was completed.

But this is not what Rhodes wants. He has his own goals, and in order to achieve this, he needs some helpers. The chamber of commerce that Metz belongs to is really not a huge organization, but after all, it is a chamber of commerce with relationships and trading networks that Rhodes can't compare. From this consideration, letting them owe themselves a long-term relationship is a very good deal.

Of course, Metz wouldn't think that Rhodes would hit his mind on himself. He still believed in his own judgment. The young man sitting in front of him must be a noble and noble, and had a strong family, like him. It ’s too late to sacrifice yourself, how can there still be that interest to sell mercy?

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Rhode certainly didn't mind letting this misunderstanding continue.

After that, the three talked about some boring topics, and then talked about their current plans. What made Mess happy was that Rhodes and Li Jie also planned to go to Deep Stone City. It was not surprising that Li Jie was going to Deep Stone City, because the base of her mercenary regiment was set up there. This time, Carter took Mei Part of Sri Lanka's **** mission was due to his intention to return home. For Rhodes' choice, Metz was a bit surprised. Especially after he heard that Rhodes actually joined Lijie's mercenary group, his eyes were widened in surprise, and he was speechless for a long while.

Metz is not unclear about Li Jie's situation. After all, it is the mercenary group he chose, so of course he knows what the other party is like, and he knows that this is the case, and most of this mercenary group is finished. But this is not something he should worry about. After all, he has given enough money, and with Li Jie's identity as a spiritual master, there is no problem everywhere. In case there is really nowhere to go, Metz doesn't mind putting her in the chamber of commerce. After all, the spiritual master is very important and eats everywhere, which is not a bad thing for Metz.

It's just that he didn't even think about it. This young girl who looks soft and weak, and has no idea, decided to grit her teeth? !!

This is very difficult and dangerous.

Metz wanted to discourage a few words, but he didn't dare to say too much when he saw Rhode aside. In his opinion, this young aristocrat joined the mercenary group just for fun, anyway, he did not lack strength, and There is also no shortage of money and status, and it is completely different from ordinary mercenaries. And ... Maybe it's related to Li Jie? Take a closer look, this girl is still pretty and beautiful ...

Of course, Metz didn't dare to say this positively, and as an outsider, he didn't have a position to take care of these gossips, so he just promised Li Jie if there were any difficulties he could come to himself, and if he was within his ability, he would do his best Assistance-originally he didn't want to do this, but after discovering that there might be some inhumane relationship between the two, Metz felt that it was also a good choice to have a good relationship with this girl.

After finishing breakfast and determining the next goal, Metz and Li Jie left separately. Metz went looking for a carriage to Deep Stone City, and Li Jie began to prepare supplies for the three as always--and It was different in the forest at dusk, and now she was finally ready.

Both of them went to do their own business. Only Rhodes took a break for a while. Although Li Jie told him to take a good rest, Rhodes obviously didn't mean it, and went out for a walk after dinner.

Walking in the quiet town, looking at the scenery on both sides, Rhode could not help feeling a little bit of emotion. In the game, this is a gathering place for novice players, and adventurers can be seen everywhere. They either yell for team missions or sell rare equipment in their hands. In Rhodes' memory, it has always been a bustling place. But now, the town without players shows a sense of tranquility and serenity.

But soon, this tranquility was broken.

The noise came from the corner of the street. Rhode looked up curiously, and saw four people quarreling fiercely beside the carriage on the side of the road. One was a young man in a Chinese suit, and two were watching. It looked like a guard's swordsman, and standing in front of them, arguing with blushing neck and thick, was not someone else. It was Metz who had just left the hotel.

What happened?

Rhodes frowned, then walked towards the four.

"Don't think it's great for you to have two stinky money, our grown-up is here to give you face!"

"Yes, a businessman, don't shame your face!"

"My uncle, what kind of lord, a third-class aristocrat, do you really think our chamber of commerce is bullying?"

"Hey, you fat man, I think you're tired!"

The quarrel was getting louder and louder, and Rhodes kept calm. He glanced around, and then came to the fat businessman who was squirming and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's going on? Mr. Metz?"

"Who? Even if you ask for help ......... Ah Lord!"

The scolding Metz turned back, and when he saw Rhodes, the expression on his face immediately changed from the snowstorm in Siberia to the sunshine in the tropical rain forest.

"You came right ..."

It is indeed a businessman. After seeing Rhodes, Metz's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Looking at him now in a low voice, it was difficult to associate him with that aggressive fat man. But Metz obviously knew what the problem was, so he didn't wait for Rhode to say anything, and he started to tell the story.

The matter itself was not complicated. Enthusiastic Maes soon found a carriage, and then the two sides negotiated the price and agreed on the time. As soon as Metz was about to leave, the three men suddenly appeared, saying that they wanted to rent the carriage, and the arrogance of the other party also caused Metz's anger. Originally speaking, the businessman should be rich with money, but Metz has been unlucky these days, and lost a shipment of goods, and his mood has been unpleasant. Now someone is provocative, and he can't help but yell. The two sides quarreled.

Ximu Town is just a small town, and there is only one carriage. Metz wants to make a good impression on Rhodes, naturally it is impossible to make this carriage people. The other party seemed to be in a hurry, and he refused to budge. Even the two guards with the last name could not help but want to move the sword. They thought that Metz was a businessman, and the sword would be softened immediately. Unexpectedly, this made the fat businessman even more annoyed. I have seen all the wild wolves and ghosts these days, and I am afraid that your two little waiters will not succeed?

As a result, the two sides are deadlocked here, and no one is willing to give in.

That's it.

After learning about the ins and outs from the fat businessman, Rhode nodded slightly, expressing understanding.

However, without waiting for Rhode to say anything, the head of the guard "sniffed" and took out his sword and pointed to Rhode.

"Who are you! Dare to take care of our gossip!"
