Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 490: cooperate

In the hall, although Thorne's voice was not loud, the three of them could hear it clearly, and even Gilt put away his sloppy expression.

So all three of them walked towards the chairs in the hall.

The female lord Alvey took the seat first, and Thorne was only separated by a small table where drinks were placed.

Gilt sat on Thorne's left, playing with an unfinished glass of cider in his hand.

The witch Cecil was sitting on the chair beside Alvie.

Looking at Thorne's serious expression, Alvey, who usually stands tall, felt a little uncomfortable and cramped in her heart for some reason.

She took a deep breath, sorted out the language, and pretended to be calm: "What? Looking at your expressionless face, is the tower owner of the Emerald Tower intending to invite a teacher to ask for guilt?"

"That's not that serious." Thorne nodded nonchalantly and said:

"After all, as soon as the two of us arrived in Twin Towers Town, we were inexplicably attacked by men in black, which even caused my friend to almost lose his life. What you did is to arrest us both indiscriminately and indiscriminately. , shouldn't you let me say a few words?"

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Thorne. I've already heard about what offended you last night. The law enforcement team's abuse of power to avenge personal revenge has also been investigated clearly, and I have made corresponding punishments to them."

Alvey seemed to understand what Thorne meant, slowly got up from the chair, bowed to him, and said sincerely: "I hope to get your understanding."

Seeing the sincere attitude of the female lord who usually stands tall in Twin Towers Town, Thorne's expression eased a lot.

Although there was a reason why the other party didn't know his true identity in the farce last night, their attitude towards Gilt was what made him really take action.

As the town's law enforcement team, they don't know everything clearly and take people directly. The ugly face of this public revenge for private revenge is really hateful.

"Since that's the case, I won't pursue this matter anymore. I'm not a person who likes to care about things. I just hope that it won't happen again." Thorne shook his head slightly.

He originally planned to ask the other party to help him find out about the man in black, but when he thought that the man in black had already used the portal to disappear into the Silver Pine Plain, he gave up.

The female lord Alvi looked relieved, and then sat back on the chair, her elbows on the table between the two, holding her cheeks, watching Thorne quietly, suddenly sighed, a pitiful look looks like:

"Thank you very much for Mr. Thorne's tolerance. I hope you can understand. As a weak and weak woman, she has to manage the entire town and face many around..."

"Stop!" Thorne, who couldn't stand it any longer, reached out his hand to interrupt Alvie's miserable sale, and said unmoved:

"You don't have to moan in front of me, and don't make yourself so pitiful. You have to understand that all of our compatriots who live here have been hurt and shed tears, and it is not necessarily that you are in more pain than others. But you seem to express more wonderfully, but I regret to tell you that no matter how wonderful your performance is, you will not win my sympathy. If you have anything, just say it directly, don't be around here."

As soon as the words fell, the bard Gilt on the side secretly gave a thumbs up to the indifferent Thorne.

"Let's talk first, I'm going out." Then, the poet made an excuse and left the room.

The sitting witch couldn't help but take a few more glances at the ranger from Waterfall Town.

Only the female lord on the side looked embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

However, it quickly returned to normal.

She took a deep breath, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Thorne likes to go straight, I won't go around detours. The purpose of my invitation this time is to hope that Twin Towers Town and Waterfall Town will cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Thorne's eyes flickered, looking at the complacent female lord, frowning and wondering: "I don't think you should go to the lord Carlos of Waterfall Town for this matter, why did you find me?"

Although he also has his own small power, he never asks about these matters, usually the old troll housekeeper takes care of it alone.

Pushang Town is dominated by the following urban areas. As long as they donate a considerable amount of resources to the Emerald Tower on time every month to obtain shelter and support, they can completely dominate the rules and regulations of the entire town.

Therefore, Thorne believes that even if it is to cooperate, it is the most appropriate to find Carlos.

"Then I'll tell the truth." Alvie seemed to see through Thorne's dislike of detours, so she said truthfully: "Actually, half a year ago, I did approach Lord Carlos to discuss the cooperation between the two towns. ."

"Then why?" Thorne guessed curiously, "Is it because we didn't get together?"

"That's right." Alvey nodded and said in a tactful tone: "As for Carlos, I think you should be very clear that I can't accept the conditions he put forward."

"I see." Thorne thought for a moment, looked at Alvie, and said slowly, "Then, tell me what you need."

In fact, he has roughly guessed what Twin Towers Town needs, and also understands why the other party has not reached a cooperation agreement with Carlos.

The reason why he asked this was that he wanted to use this buffer time to carefully and carefully consider whether this cooperation would be beneficial to him.

When asked so bluntly by the other party, Alvey did not rush to answer. Instead, she put her hand on her forehead and pondered for a moment. Then she looked at Thorne and asked: "The location of Twin Towers Town, I think you should be very clear."

"Of course." Thorne nodded without thinking.

Twin Towers Town is the frontier town of the Hescan Kingdom. Its north is the former hometown of giants, the Wild Skull Mountains, and the south is the Shadowmoon Inner Sea and part of the Black Pearl Forest. The Sunset Fishing Village is located nearby, and the west is the Forest of Tranquility. .

"Although this frontier town occupies such a large territory, the place that I can really control is actually the whole town." Alvie looked at Thorne, smiled slightly, and said bluntly:

"Besides, you should know better than everyone how I got my lordship. Naturally, there are many foreign forces with close relatives of the baron who don't want to see me in charge of this territory."

"So, you mean, you want asylum." Thorne said what the other party thought.

"That's right, after all, I am a weak woman in charge of such a large territory, and I take care of it fairly well, plus the surrounding threats have been cleaned up by you, so many people start to be jealous and want to pull me down. ."

Alvie glanced at Cecil the witch beside her, and continued: "If it wasn't for the two of Cecil who were taken in three years ago, I'm afraid I would have died in the assassination."

Then, the female lord took a deep breath and said tentatively: "If Mr. Thorne's wizard tower is willing to shelter me, I can provide the wizard tower with resources for development on time, just like the lower city of Falls Upper Town."

After listening to Alvie's words, Thorne finally understood what the other party really wanted.

Obviously, this female lord is like a kitten with a dragon's heart, with ambition but not the power to control it.

And the reason why she couldn't reach cooperation with Carlos is nothing more than that Carlos took the opportunity to put forward the conditions for her to intervene in the affairs of the Twin Towers Town.

At this point, for an ambitious woman, she is naturally unwilling to see outsiders encroaching on her territory.

So after finding that he came to Shuangta Town and thinking of the delicate relationship between the upper and lower urban areas of Pushang Town, he chose to take the initiative to seek cooperation with him.

Facts have proved that Thorne thinks it is a good choice for the other party to find him to cooperate.

Because what he lacks most now is combat power and high-end power. As long as he wants, even the people of Horn Town and the priest of the Temple of Wisdom can listen to him.

In fact, what he lacks most now is the resources to develop the bottomless pit of the Wizard Tower.

After all, he owns the extremely important strategic fortress of the Wizard Tower. Wherever support is needed, as long as the portal is opened, the reorganized golem troops and high-end forces will all be dispatched to support allies at any time, which is simply not too convenient.

"It's no problem, I can agree." Thorne thought for a while, then pondered, and said, "But I have one condition."

Hearing that Thorne wanted to make conditions, Alvie couldn't help but feel tight, so she tentatively said in a weaker tone: "I don't know... What conditions does Mr. Thorne ask?"

"Don't be nervous, this condition I mentioned is very beneficial to both of us." Seeing the other side's worry floating over, Thorne felt a little funny, so he gave her a reassuring look and said his thoughts: "I plan to build a temple of wisdom in Twin Towers Town."

Build a Temple of Wisdom?

The female lord Alvey looked startled, and quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

So he reached out and stroked the hair that did not exist in front of his forehead, smiled and nodded in agreement:

"No problem, in order to show the sincerity of our cooperation this time, Twin Towers Town is willing to take the initiative to bear half of the cost of building the temple."

The establishment of the Temple of Wisdom is undoubtedly tantamount to completely binding the Twin Towers Town to the wizard tower and temple forces in the Emerald Fields.

The most important thing is that the Twin Towers Town with the temple will also bring a lot of convenience to the residents and mobile people in the town.

She can also take this opportunity to cultivate priest and wizard professions in the temple and develop her own power.

If the town of Twin Towers is threatened, because of the temple, they will definitely help themselves to repel the outsiders.

Anyway, this is a very beneficial thing for me.

"Since you have nodded and agreed, the specific details will be discussed with you by the person in charge of the matter."

Thorne took out a magic talisman representing the wizard's tower from the dimension bag and handed it to her, saying, "One thing, I can assure you, we won't bother about everything in Twin Towers Town."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." The female lord Alvi got up with a smile on her face and extended her right hand to Thorne.

"Happy cooperation." Thorne got up and stretched out his hand to shake it. He was about to release it, but he felt that the opponent's palm was obviously exerting some force, as if he was implying something.

However, he didn't care and was too lazy to think about it, and sat back in the chair directly.

Afterwards, he looked at Alvie and the witch Cecil, who had been silent, and said the real purpose of coming here: "Now you can tell me about the small village and Wenster."
