Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 328: cooperate

"Two lords, long time no see."

Thorne stepped into the stone house alone, looked at the two lords of the lower city, Torvi and Carlos, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled lightly, and said hello.

After speaking, he walked directly to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, then crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, and sat there comfortably, looking at the two of them with a half-smile, but did not speak.

Seeing the ranger's casual and informal behavior, Torvi's pipe froze in his hand, and then he turned his attention to Carlos, who was sitting opposite.

"..."

The two people, who were a little confused, looked at each other, and both read the puzzled look from the other's eyes.

Apparently, they were a little… unresponsive to Thorne's sudden change in behavior.

In Tolway's eyes, Thorne used to give him the feeling that in addition to his good skills, he was more like an ordinary social young man who was withdrawn, always liked to alienate others deliberately, and was not good at communicating.

But now, he saw his own self-confidence, restrained spirit, and a little bit of a very natural smile in the eyes of the other party.

What did this kid experience when he went to the Underdark?

Torway exhaled a puff of smoke to slowly hide his puzzled look.

At the same time, he began to sigh inwardly, that the fastest way to grow a person is to go out and take risks.

This guy went out for half a year for the first time, and when he came back, he dared to put his sword on the table in front of everyone, and then left with a harsh sentence.

This time, the exposed edge of the whole body has been restrained, but it is even more unpredictable.

Shall we let that kid Albert go around the Underdark? Maybe it will change his temper.

After thinking about it, Torvey shook his head and laughed, and immediately dispelled this unrealistic idea.

"Thorn, what's the matter with you calling the two of us to me?"

Carlos coughed dryly, cleared his throat deliberately, and took a sip of the tea to moisten it, looking at Thorne and asking.

He has been in contact with Thorne for so long, and he has always contacted each other on his own initiative, and sometimes the other party does not go.

Today, I suddenly received an unsolicited invitation from this guy, asking him to contact Torvey and wait for him at his home.

Seeing Thorne's casual behavior after entering the house, Carlos, who is experienced in society, was surprised, but also smelled an unusual smell.

This kid looks a bit unkind.

This was the first thought that popped into Carlos' mind.

Because he just received a letter this morning from the kobold under his uncle, the red dragon Argotus, and he also mentioned the simple process of being blackmailed.

So, Carlos feels a little intriguing about what Thorne is here for.

"Have you two heard of the Wizard's Tower?" Thorne, leaning on the back of the chair, pondered for a moment, and said, keeping his eyes on the two of them for a while.

"Wizard's Tower?" Torvey said to himself in his heart, subconsciously turning his head in the direction of the West Cliff in the upper city, but unfortunately blocked by the wall, he couldn't see anything.

As a spellcaster, the wizard tower is naturally all too familiar.

So Torvey first glanced at Carlos on the opposite side, and said first: "Of course I have heard that there is a complete Winter City."

"Then do you know what the wizard's tower is for?" Thorne straightened up, picked up a teacup from the table, poured a cup for himself, and asked again.

"In addition to cultivating a steady stream of spellcasters, the role of the wizard tower is more like a war fortress guarding the pioneering civilization." Carlos glared at Torvi, who was about to speak, and smiled when he saw the other party shut up obediently. back.

He is most familiar with the wizard tower, after all, this knowledge is clearly remembered by Zhanzheng Academy.

A pioneering civilization is at least half successful if it has a wizard tower guarding it.

The wizard's tower in Winter City grew into a bustling big city along with an inconspicuous town by the sea.

It even helped the city through the most chaotic and turbulent year, and it can be said to be the most deterrent in the entire Corina Peninsula.

However, if you want to build a fully functional wizard tower, even if you have huge financial resources, you can only stare blankly without technical support.

Not to mention the various defensive measures inside the wizard tower and the complete organization of the golem army, a highly intelligent tower spirit stumped 90% of the wizards on the entire continent.

A wizard's tower without towering is like a human without a soul, it is incomplete.

Isn't this kid trying to build a wizard tower?

Carlos looked a little complicatedly at Thorne, who was sitting there pretending to be serious and drinking tea slowly.

"Yes, I'm going to build a wizard tower." Noticing Carlos' gaze, Thorne smiled at him and said his thoughts.

"So, the materials you asked me to help you prepare before are actually all in preparation for the establishment of the wizard tower." Torvey was a little uneasy for a moment, and twisted his body directly to Thorne's side, guessing.

"Yes." Thorne replied simply.

"Thorn, you have to think clearly about what you need to build a complete wizard tower." With Thorne's affirmation, Carlos solemnly reminded.

If they can build a complete wizard tower in Falls Town, he agrees with both hands, but the problem is that he is not sure whether this guy is a whim.

In the whole continent, the most precious thing in the end is knowledge. Without a complete inheritance technology of Aoyi, you want to build a wizard tower. What do you rely on? mouth? It seems that this guy's mouth is not very good at speaking.

Carlos said he didn't quite understand it.

"What do you need to have? No matter in our real world or here, it is actually the same. If you want to build a complete wizard tower, you need only relevant technical talents and inheritance knowledge, right?"

Thorne got up to fill the teacups of the two of them, poured another cup for himself, and said seriously.

"Yes, I don't think you look like an impetuous person. Since you know all these things, what's your purpose of mentioning the wizard tower to us?" Torvey nodded and asked again.

In fact, he had probably guessed Thorne's intention, but he had to let the other party say it himself.

Carlos waved his hand, frowned and fanned away the second-hand smoke from Torvi with his sleeve fan, watching Thorne quietly, waiting for him to answer.

"I have all the technical talents. You must have guessed what I am missing." Thorne said with a slightly solemn expression:

"Yes, to quickly erect a complete wizard tower on our waterfall, I need huge funds, especially huge funds. As for this source of funds..."

Thorne paused, did not continue, but stared at the two with interest.

"So you put the source of funds on both of us, right." Carlos glanced at Tolvey on the opposite side, and directly stated Thorne's intention.

"Yes, after all, with my own strength, the ghost knows when to wait." Thorne admitted very calmly.

"I promise you!" Carlos stretched out his hand to stop Torvi, who was about to speak, and responded directly: "Our lower city will fully support your construction of the wizard tower."

"..." Seeing such a refreshing Carlos, Thorne, who was originally calm, was a little confused.

The reason why he was caught in the circle was mainly because this guy agreed too readily.

Although the other party responded readily and made him spend a lot less time explaining, but the other party's ease made him a little uncomfortable...

"Are you sure?" Thorne glanced at Torvi, who was hesitant to speak, and then turned his attention to Carlos to confirm again.

"Do you have any other questions?" Carlos greeted him with a smile.

"Not anymore." Thorne looked away a little embarrassedly.

"I have a condition." The three were silent for a while, and Torvey said again.

"Please speak." Thorne breathed a sigh of relief.

"What difficulties the Fallstown is facing now, I think you should be very clear, so if your wizard tower wants to get our financial support, you must first solve this predicament." Torvey said with a sigh of smoke. out on its own terms.

"This is no problem." Thorne got up and agreed directly. Even if the other party didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to solve it.

"Then let me make a condition as well." Carlos saw Thorne agree, and also took a sentence. Feeling Thorne's gaze, he looked embarrassed, and then said bitingly:

"You should be very clear about the unfair treaty that my uncle Agotus signed with the black dragon, aren't you familiar with the black dragon? So... See if you can find a way to get the other party to lift it."

"This..." Thorne stood on the spot with a look of embarrassment on his face. After thinking for a while, he met the expectant look of the other party and said, "I'll try my best, but don't have too many expectations, anyway. , I will do my best."

"Okay." Carlos replied slightly depressed.

"Actually, my goal is very clear, which is to protect our waterfall town, and I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." Thorne said to the two very seriously, and then extended his right hand.

"I, like you, hope to have a happy cooperation." Carlos got up and smiled at Thorne and patted his palm.

"Happy cooperation." Torway took a step slower.

"Then we'll talk about the future when I have time. I'll say goodbye first." Thorne turned and left without looking back.

"Why did you agree so readily?" Seeing Thorne disappearing outside the courtyard, Torvey finally expressed his doubts: "Do you believe that Thorne said that he has the complete technical talent of the wizard tower?"

"Goblin wizard Malvasia." Carlos sipped the cup of tea and read out a person's name and salutation.

"That's true, how could I forget this mysterious woman." Torvey showed a clear look.

After all, this is a goblin who can invent a simplified version of the magic power device, and the other party has been living in the tower in the upper city for more than a month.

Obviously, her purpose is to help Thorne build the wizard's tower.

"Then what you promised was too refreshing, you know? Your refreshingness surprised Thorne. You don't know how rich that kid's expression was just now."

Torvey seemed to remember a happy thing, and then glanced at the other party angrily.

In fact, they could take advantage of this opportunity to gain a little more interest, but Carlos's refreshing energy made him unable to start.

"So I said that sometimes your vision is not as far as mine, and you still don't admit it. Just like last time, I told you that Thorne has deep feelings for Uptown, you still have to force him to make a decision, In the end it broke down.”

Carlos frowned, raised his sleeves and fanned away the second-hand smoke, and analyzed to him: "Now, the situation in the entire Emerald Field is not optimistic. Hobgoblin assassins are wandering around the town of Falls to contain our scout scouts, and then They then transferred the main force to the direction of Twilight Town and Iron Horse Town.

The obvious thing is that the Hulk Hobgoblin has allied himself with the Lizardmen of the Bottomless Marsh. Our Pushang Town has the natural geographical advantage of Shangcheng District. As a result, even if Xiacheng District falls, Hobgoblins will have to pay a heavy price to break through Shangcheng District, and they must always be on guard against a sneak attack from Horn Town.

So after they tried it once, they understood the truth, and transferred their guns to Twilight Town and Iron Horse Town. After all, the lizardmen allies of the Hobgoblin were closest to those two towns.

The tieflings in Stallman Town were directly held back by the gnolls who liked to come down to fight the autumn wind in the Great Sword Mark Mountains. If it weren't for the night lord whose spells were not working, I'm afraid this town would be already fallen. "

"Then you mean..." Torway seemed to understand the other party's true intentions.

"Yes, under this trend, if you want to tide over the difficulties, the five towns must form an alliance and reach a treaty of mutual attack and defense, otherwise they will only be slowly eaten away." Carlos said with a slightly dignified expression.

"Then what does this have to do with you agreeing to Thorne so readily?" Torvey returned to the original question.

Carlos smiled, drank all the tea in the cup, and motioned for the other party to fill him up, then slowly said:

"If the five towns form an alliance, and all of them have overcome the difficulties, it means that in the future, we will start to fight for the resources of the entire Emerald Field. At that time, whoever has the biggest fist will win the most benefits."

"I see what you mean, if we tie with Thorne, we will undoubtedly tie all the forces in the upper city together.

However, the current crisis has not yet been resolved, and you have already begun to think about the future, don't you think it is a little wrong? "Torway finally understood Carlos' real intention.

"You missed one." Carlos added:

"There is also the power of Horn Town, didn't you see it? Thorne is very close to the goblin wizard, and naturally Horn Town should be added. If we have common interests with Thorne, help him build the wizard tower, At that time, our waterfall town will be the most powerful party in the Emerald Field.

Even when we finally unite to build a city, we are the party with the strongest voice. "
