Chapter 202 Rhaegar’s ex-wife

 …

Donovan suddenly jumped up from his chair, rushed through the corridor in a few steps, and came to the street outside the door.

But seeing the crowds on the street running to both sides.

And that incredibly ferocious young man actually used his own strength to lift the mammoth and run all the way.

 What’s even more terrifying is.

 During this process, the mammoth was struggling violently.

The building density in the neighborhoods near the Lord's Mansion is actually quite high.

The mammoth’s huge body didn’t leave much room for movement.

 But it is within the constraints of these conditions.

The young man just carried the mammoth and rushed out for a long distance.

finally.

 He rushed to the central square of the street.

Due to previous dragon disasters, many buildings here are still in ruins, and only a few workers are busy.

Lumiere came to the edge of the square, found an open space, and put the mammoth down.

　　Boom!

 The earth trembled slightly.

 After the mammoth landed, it seemed that it was unable to control its balance.

 She staggered and fell towards Lumière.

Lumiere did not panic at all when he saw this.

He used his feet to exert force, jumped up high, and then slapped the mammoth under the ribs.

　　Boom!

 The latter seemed to be pushed by a huge force.

　　He fell down blankly towards the no man's land on the other side.

There was another sound like the sky falling and the earth falling.

 When the mammoth fell.

 The entire lord area trembled.

  When it is.

Smoke and dust billowed and the ground sunken deeply.

 Many residents who did not know the truth ran out of their homes and nervously inquired about the latest situation.

 Fortunately, everyone's panic was quickly stopped.

Matthew and others followed the impatient Donovan out of the Lord's Mansion and followed them to the edge of the square.

 As soon as I saw Matthew.

Lumière clapped his hands, wiped the dust from his face and complained:

“The elephant at your door is too heavy.”

 “I almost can’t carry it.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Donovan, who was looking at the mammoth with distressed eyes, was completely speechless.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he had many things to ask Lumiere, but he was afraid of this young man's unfathomable power.

 “You...who are you?”

 Donovan stared at Lumiere for a long time before asking with difficulty.

  Waiting for Lumiere's answer.

Matthew has already taken a step forward:

 “He is the future king of the rainforest and my good friend, Mr. Lumière.”

Lumiere scratched his head and smiled in approval.

Heavy armored warriors from the Formation Breakers Mercenary Group also rushed over at this time.

 See this scene.

 They couldn't help but move towards Lumière.

However, Donovan stopped them just in time.

 After that, he hurried forward to check the condition of the mammoth.

fine.

Lumiere was very measured in his actions. Perhaps this was related to his rich experience in fighting huge creatures for many years, and he had experienced the scene where the sky seemed to be falling.

 The fallen mammoth was only slightly injured.

At this time, Lei Jia opened his mouth and said:

"How is your mount? I think her name is Harley? Do you need us to provide treatment for Harley?"

“Don’t worry, I won’t charge you any extra money.”

 Donovan's face turned cold.

He stood up, and then, with the efforts of the heavily armored warriors, Mammoth Harley also stood up again.

It's just that those elephant eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Lumiere.

 The group of people did not stay in the square for long.

After Donovan asked the priests in his mercenary group to provide treatment for the mammoth Harley, he returned to the door of the Lord's Mansion one after another to continue negotiations.

 Just this time.

 Harry was still arranged to stand guard at the door.

But the location from the entrance to the Lord's Mansion is not so close.

 People can enter and leave the lord's house freely.

obviously.

 Donovan has realized that continuing to pressure the negotiations through Harley is likely to lead to worse results.

 So he made certain concessions on the surface.

 But once we get back to the negotiating table.

 This old fox still has the face of "you need us" and "you can't live without us".

 But when he saw him lighting up a cigar and blowing out a big smoke ring, the old **** said:

“I admit that your people are very strong and have considerable individual strength.

 But you must also know that adventurers who fight alone play a very limited role on the battlefield.

How about this.

 For your father’s sake, Rhaegar, twice as much—

 This is my final bottom line.

　　Too little.

 I really have no way to explain to my subordinates. "

 After the voice fell.

Matthew pointed out bluntly:

 “For the role you can play, my friends can perfectly replace it.”

“He alone is worth thousands of troops!”

 Donovan's eyes narrowed like a fox's.

  After a while.

 He suddenly chuckled:

 “Young man, have you ever been on the battlefield?”

“Iondor has not seen a large-scale war for many years. Do you know how popular warriors like those in my regiment who have experienced the **** storms will be in the coming new era?”

“Your friend is indeed very strong, but with all due respect, he lacks the relevant skills when it comes to war.”

This time Matthew didn’t wait for a rebuttal.

Lumière himself jumped out:

“Matthew is right, I am very powerful.

  And my learning ability is also very strong.

 Since entering human society, I have learned many, many skills..."

Donovan frowned:

 “Human society? Were you not a human before?”

  But quickly.

 He was attracted by another part of Lumière’s words:

 “What new skills have you learned?”

Lumière said with excitement:

 “I learned how to mine.”

“Oh, you must not understand, this is a very big subject.

I had a real job in the mines south of Apple Avenue!

 At that time, I studied with the supervisor for a long time before I mastered part of the essence -

 You have to learn how to identify the direction of mineral veins;

 You have to develop a reasonable mining plan based on the flow of the underground river;

 For my type of work, the most important thing is how to carry more unrefined ore during a round trip!

 In the process of learning these skills.

 I have benefited a lot.

 The strength has also been exercised and enhanced to a certain extent.

 If you don’t believe it, I can demonstrate it to you! "

 Said.

 In the confused eyes of everyone.

Lumiere looked around, and suddenly he saw a large number of landscape stones placed in the garden behind the reception hall.

So he easily crossed the viewing window sill and came to the garden.

 “Watch it!”

 He excitedly picked up a stone the size of an adult's hands, and then easily carried it on his shoulders.

“I can put one on my left shoulder, and another on my right shoulder;

At the same time, I can carry three special backpacks, each of which can be filled with ore;

Furthermore, my feet are not idle either. I can tie a lot of ore to my left and right calves and thighs. "

“Although these ores will affect my activities to a certain extent, I regard this as a kind of exercise.

 My mining career is not long, but I have summed up an efficient climbing method——

  I can move freely in and out of the mine like a four-legged animal..."

 In the eyes of everyone that is difficult to understand.

Lumiere threw stones at himself while explaining.

Soon, he was surrounded by landscape stones.

 The whole person looks like a stone man.

miracly.

 He obviously didn't use any ropes, and the stones were able to adhere to his skin.

 “Hahaha, did you see it?”

“This scene is amazing, it’s a powerful muscle adsorption technique I invented.

  I can use powerful force to affect the gravity around the skin...

Hmm, that’s what you should say, right?

 With my level of education, I can’t explain it more clearly.

 In short, with this method, I can attract all the stones like a magnet——

　Not only stones, but people can also be sucked in!

 When necessary, I can run with a dozen people by myself.

 Wouldn’t this save a lot of people’s energy on the battlefield? "

Lumiere’s muffled voice came from the cracks in the stone.

 But there was silence all around.

 Everyone present can be considered as someone who has traveled far and wide and seen the world.

 Among them, Donovan is the best.

 As the leader of a large mercenary group, what hasn’t he seen?

 But the stone man in front of me...

 He has really never seen it!

 Stop talking about Donovan.

Even Matthew and others were shocked beyond measure by this scene.

No one knows how to evaluate Lumière’s powerful adsorption skills.

 But at this time.

 The sound of "Pap-pap-pap!" resounded in the room.

 Someone was applauding.

 Everyone looked back.

The person applauding was the orc female swordsman Clegg.

　　But seeing this female orc who had left her hometown, her eyes were full of excitement.

She clapped and quickly came to Lumière:

 “What you said is very good, and your abilities also opened my eyes.”

“In fact, after I entered human society, I also learned many new skills like you.”

"I was responsible for carrying large items at the dock of Deep Blue Harbor. During this period, I mastered a special force-generating technique - in order to be able to carry more large items at the same time, I combined the power of the Juggernaut's Way with the The Tao of Balance was created a second time, and finally mastered a more advanced handling technique."

 “Can you put down all the stones?”

Clergg's tone was like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

"sure."

Lumiere quickly placed all the landscape stones on the ground.

This time it’s Clegg’s turn to show off his amazing skills—

But he saw her quickly carrying the largest stone on her back.

 Then he kicked out one foot and quickly kicked the other stones onto his back in order from large to small!

boom!

boom!

boom!

 Stones were kicked into the air one by one.

 It quickly landed on Clegg's back.

 Just two minutes later.

 All the landscape stones on the ground have disappeared.

Everyone looked at Clegg with their mouths open and the pile of rocks more than 8 meters high on her back——

No.

 This can no longer be called a pile of stones.

 But a stone tower!

This tower is built from a pile of completely irregular stone blocks, resulting in an extremely stable structure.

It was like a magnet that was attracted to Clegg's back.

 “Did you see it?”

 Clegg asked Lumière.

Lumière clapped his hands:

 “Qi! You used Qi!”

“I’ve heard of this energy, but isn’t that a skill only monks have?”

 Clegg smiled kindly:

“The way of the sword master originated from the warrior monk, so I also mastered a little bit of ki.”

Lumiere heard this and asked: "Wow, if you carry it like this, you must be able to make a lot of money in a day, right!?"

 Clegg raised his head proudly:

“When times are good, I can move 8 gold coins a day!”

Lumiere showed an envious expression:

 “Is it so profitable to move large materials at the dock? If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone mining!”

“But before the accident happened in the mine, I made a lot of money. I could make 4 to 6 gold coins a day!”

Clegg started to unload the stones easily and started a heated discussion with Lumière:

 “Make a lot of money, but it doesn’t last long.”

“I had only been working for seven or eight days, and the dock workers united to protest. They made crazy complaints against me privately.”

“I lost my job soon after, the complainers were so annoying!”

Lumière felt the same way:

“Me too, I met many people like this when I was working in the mines...”

The two of them chatted sympathetically.

 In the house.

 Everyone has different expressions.

 Donovan looked at Lumière with complicated eyes, and then at Clegg who was plain in appearance but extraordinary in temperament.

finally.

He couldn't help but look at Matthew:

 “Where did you invite such a pair of freaks?”

Matthew immediately said sternly:

 “Please mind your words!”

"they are my friends!"

 Donovan shrugged.

 He said a perfunctory “sorry” and returned to the negotiating table.

 Although he behaved nonchalantly towards Lumière and Clegg.

 But Donovan revealed his mental journey through practical actions:

“I still say that war requires professionals, but I also admit that if there are more allies on the battlefield, the war will be much easier to fight.”

"1.5 times."

“1.5 times the original price, our Formbreaker Mercenary Group will take over this business.”

“This is my last line, Rhaegar, for your father’s sake—and you know there are many orders waiting for us in the south.”

 “I swear, this is my utmost sincerity.”

 “If you keep bargaining, I’ll leave immediately!”

 His tone of voice was very soft.

But there was a ferocious look on his face that could only be possessed by an old man who has been through the battlefield.

Rhaegar frowned.

Just when Matthew and the other three were thinking about how to continue bargaining.

 Suddenly a short flute sound drifted in from the street.

The sound of the flute is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes high and sometimes low. After listening to it, people can easily feel irritable.

 “Who the **** is playing the flute?”

 This is a critical moment in the dispute negotiations.

 Donovan was affected by the sound of the flute and seemed to become a little restless.

 When Matthew heard the sound, his heart moved.

Seeing that Lei Jia and the other two were also puzzled, he took the initiative and said:

“Mr. Donovan, Rolling Stone is an enlightened place and its residents like musical instruments. Isn’t that understandable?”

Donovan picked his ears and mocked displeasedly:

“Such an unpleasant flute sound is not as good as the one played by a scout in my regiment.”

“The person who plays the flute must also be tone-deaf.”

 “Is this the musical level of the residents of Rolling Stone?”

The words just fell.

 Suddenly a frightened voice came from the door:

 “That’s not good, boss!”

 “Harry ran away with a man with his chest hair exposed!”

 “And brothers…”

 Donovan's nerves were already extremely tense.

 The siren sounds.

 He rushed out reflexively.

"Boss, I, I...I'm going to run away with him too..."

The scout who sent the message twisted his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and rolled his eyes as he spoke.

Then he, together with the heavily armored warrior and the mammoth, walked towards the outside of the town in a daze.

Donovan shouted angrily:

 “Who’s causing trouble?”

But the next second.

 His eyes actually started to turn white.

 The irritating sound of the flute suddenly turned into an extremely devilish laughter.

 After the magic sound enters the brain.

An unprecedentedly powerful force also began to invade his brain.

 In a daze.

 Donovan walked out a dozen steps in one breath.

crucial moment.

This old mercenary finally escaped from the control of the magic sound with his strong will.

Snapped!

 He slapped himself in the face and finally woke up.

 Donovan looked around in shock.

 I noticed people coming and going on the street.

The situation in Rolling Stone is pointing at me.

 They seemed not to be affected by the sound of the flute at all!

 This time.

 He completely understood.

 He stood on tiptoes and looked at his mount and subordinates who were gradually retreating.

 Vaguely.

 He saw a figure riding backwards on the back of the mammoth Harley.

The man was playing the flute with one hand.

The other hand was still free to wave to him from a distance.

That moment.

　　It is obviously noon in the summer.

Donovan's whole body was as cold as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on him.

He suddenly turned back to look at Rhaegar, who was also confused:

 “That’s enough, Rhaegar!”

 “Make him stop!”

 “Original price, deal!”

 The sound of the flute stopped suddenly.

Rhaegar looked happy and was about to say "Okay".

 A faint voice came from far away from the back of the mammoth:

  “Don’t you consider making a half-turn?

 I quite like this female elephant.

 She reminds me of a lover I had when I was young—

  Don’t get me wrong, I have never been in love with a female elephant, but that girl also has such a female elephant...

Speaking of which, Matthew, do you like this mammoth? "

 Donovan’s face turned pale instantly!

 …

finally.

The Breakers mercenary group happily joined the new city defense system of Rolling Stone Town.

 Three-year lease.

For the sake of "Rega's father", Mr. Donovan generously donated money and decided to cooperate with Rolling Stone Town at a 25% discount on the market price.

also.

　　The Breakers Mercenary Group also "rejected" various subsidies that Rhaegar kindly proposed.

 Just give them a place to stay.

Zeller and others will naturally be responsible for negotiating the specific content of the negotiations.

Matthew led the partners who had played the most important part in the negotiations back to the oak forest early.

night.

 He held a summer barbecue in a clearing in the woods to welcome the invited companions.

 Taking into account Lumière and Clegg's appetite.

Matthew spent a lot of money this time and bought two sheep, a cow, and a pig from the farm next door to entertain the guests.

 Facts prove it.

 These two master coolies are really good at eating!

They almost ate all the ingredients Matthew purchased, leaving only some leftovers.

 While dining.

 There was also an episode.

Perhaps it’s the aroma of barbecue flying up into the clouds.

The cloud elf Emilia also happily came to eat on the ground.

Matthew naturally expressed his welcome.

So far.

 Except for Eli, the other five people all responded.

 This is something Matthew is very proud of.

 No matter what the reason.

 Being able to bring such a group of people together represents a lot of things.

 Take this opportunity.

Matthew plans to share the whole story of the incident with everyone, as well as the possible situations he may face next.

after that.

 He also needs to state the risks to them one by one and analyze the pros and cons.

 After all, war is never a joke.

Even if Matthew can guarantee that no matter whether they win or lose the battle, there is a high probability that they will be able to escape from the battlefield unscathed.

 But the specific risks still need to be informed in advance.

 The final choice.

 Still in their own hands.

 And just when Matthew wanted to explain.

Roland, who was reading the Little Yellow Book with great interest, suddenly stood up:

 “Are there any outsiders?”

 Others also reacted.

Matthew naturally sensed it too—

 Under the moonlight.

 A woman's figure suddenly appeared on the wasteland in the north.

 She walked towards the oak forest.

 Each step.

 She seemed to be looking around.

 When Matthew appeared in front of her.

Her bright eyes exude a hint of natural charm.

 Even though wearing a thick black veil.

Matthew can also sense the thrilling beauty beneath the veil.

That is a powerful charm that is ready to come out.

 It is different from the charm of warlocks.

 “Somewhat like the attraction of a god…”

Matthew was secretly wary.

Soon he asked solemnly:

 “Madam, why are you here?”

 “Sorry, but this is private property.”

 A trace of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes:

“What a handsome young man, Rhaegar gave you this land?”

"hehe…"

 “Then I’ll leave right away.”

 Said.

She walked towards the direction of Rolling Stone Town.

Matthew took a step forward and asked:

 “Ma’am, what’s your name?”

 The woman said without looking back:

 “Melinda.”

 “Don’t be nervous, I’m not here to do bad things.”

 “I just came to see my daughter.”

The voice fell.

 Her figure instantly disappeared into the dark night.

Matthew was slightly startled.

 In an instant.

 He finally realized what the name "Melinda" meant.

 She is Sif’s mother!

Too…

 “Rhaegar’s ex-wife?”

 …

   Sacrifice a new work! Sacrifice fiercely! Hope there will be more updates in September!
