Chapter 258 You really dare

In the Bjölln Strait, Lynch was quite surprised to receive the messenger from the Swordfish.

This is a trembling human being. He seems to be the unlucky guy chosen to die and face the "brutal" lizard monster.

Eugen More's servant held an unknown liquid that smelled and looked like coffee, taking small sips while watching this historic meeting with great interest.

The presence of humans alleviated the messenger's helplessness. At least he dared to talk to Lynch.

"The captain hopes to ask you to destroy the Björling tribe. The Swordfish can pay a lot of treasure."

He seemed to be a Tilian, because the language he used was quite different from the imperial language that Lynch learned from Eugen, but Duojia guessed that he could still understand the message that humans wanted to convey.

The drunken long-bearded dwarf climbed to the upper level of the pyramid, and Sorian keenly heard the word "treasure".

Looking down at the dwarf with shining eyes, Lynch, who was originally planning to tell humans that treasure was useless, suddenly changed his mind.

There was indeed no need for treasure in the New World, but he had already arrived in the Old World, the kingdom of humans.

The gold ornaments obtained from the battles in Lustria have been lost in several wars. Teclis may have enough wealth, and they can also ask the Phoenix King and the elven nobles in Ulthuan to pay for the "journey of justice" in the human cities where high elves live and trade.

But this is somewhat inappropriate. No lizardman is so poor that he needs to borrow gold from the elves. The cold-blooded kingdom has plenty of decorations such as gold and gems.

Lynch doesn't want to set a precedent.

Of course, Lynch could have plundered enough wealth from the Norse tribes, but this was unexpected income and was full of uncertainty.

The lizardman slowly approached the human, and in front of the human's horrified gaze, made a request in fluent Imperial language with a faint Altdorf accent.

"Ten carriages can only be filled with gold. This is the bottom line."

The human pirate was stunned for a moment, even forgetting his fear. He glanced sideways at the stunned Eugen, and then looked at the lizard man uncertainly.

He forced a flattering smile and gave a reply that excited the dwarf and made Eugen almost spit out the drink in his mouth.

"Great sea monster killer, we don't have so much gold, but the Swordfish can produce pearls of equal value."

Lynch wasn't sure whether his offer was too high or too low, so he took a quick taste of the emotions in the air.

The dwarf seemed very satisfied with the deal. Eugen couldn't believe it and his body was filled with self-doubt, while the pirate felt relieved.

Of course Eugen couldn't believe it. It would be understandable if the gold was exchanged for food, but that was gold.

The Lizardmen dared to set the price, and the envoy of "Saltwater Grudge" actually dared to make this deal that would make all the countries jealous.

"It is not wise to trick a dwarf, and it is even less wise to trick my companions."

Sorian slammed the battle axe he picked up and approached the human threateningly.

The pirate was like a frightened woman, almost peeing her pants.

"No! I dare not! The Queen of Tides has a pearl of Mannawe, which is enough to buy Marienburg! Captain, before I leave, let me satisfy your demands. Saltwater Grudge is not short of wealth."

The screams echoed through the pyramid engine, causing the bells of the lower level Teclis to ring in dissatisfaction.

Lynch saw the light of greed in the dwarf's eyes. The lizardman believed that being greedy was not a good habit, and greed would only lead to deeper greed.

So he's just slightly overpriced.

"One pearl of Mannawe, one chest of gold to fill with dwarven chests, and the Björling tribe will be history."

"Deal, great, powerful hunter of the sea!"

A magic contract was taken out by the pirate messenger. In order to prevent being deceived, Lynch called the slightly gloomy Tigris. It seemed that this meeting disturbed his research work.

Fortunately, the great wizard still reliably and carefully identified the contract, made slight modifications, and made a copy using magic.

"Tell your master that I don't want to see a human wizard who thinks he is smart. If you want to continue the transaction, you should be wise enough to follow my revised treaty.

If he still does not know true wisdom, tell him that I am Teclis of Ulthuan, and that I hope he has not lost all his brains at sea and has some remnants of necessary knowledge."

The great wizard used an aura of confidence that even Lynch felt oppressed by, and arrogantly spoke harsh words to the human pirates. After the pirates responded meekly, he turned around and returned the same way.

Lynch slapped his paw prints on the parchment, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't leave a mark.

With the help of vague vision, he discovered that the magic on the parchment was repelling himself, or rather, Lynch was repelling all magic.

The lizardman cast cold eyes at Eugen and Sorian, and finally did not have the heart to let the Oracle get involved in this mess. In case Lustria remembered Lynch, he would have to rely on the Oracle to talk to the Slanns.

Although this possibility may only appear in a few years, what if it happens? Unsure of what was going on, Sorian approached the contract confidently, but he did not successfully sign the magic treaty in the first place.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Dwarves also reject magic; the Old Ones created them to resist magic.

Under the heavy gaze of the lizardmen and in Sorian's expectant, urging eyes, it was only a human who finally reached a contract with the "Salt Grudge".

The messenger left and never returned. At dawn, the dwarf received a reply from the impatient wizard that the contract was reached.

This was the beginning of a nightmare, and Lynch had to continue to endure the dwarf's urging.

An hour later, Lynch, who could no longer bear it, locked Sorian in the bathroom and blocked the door with his authority.

At the bottom of the pyramid, Eugen asked the archmage cautiously.

"What happens if the contract is not reached?"

"Turned to dust by Shash's power."

The human trotted back to the upper level, and before he could speak, Lynch had already selected an isolation room for him.

Everything is going according to plan, and the hover engine may be able to reach the Björling coast before sunset.

All the urging was useless. Lynch was not anxious, so what was the point of their anxiety? The invasion from the north made the northern boyars anxious. The lords of the northern land of Kislev communicated with each other. Finally, the sixteen boyars in the northern border of the Western State gathered in Zoshenk and formed a military alliance headed by the Great Boyerevich.

It was not until the meeting that Zhu Boya gradually calmed down.

They were not completely powerless to resist. The sixteen boyars could provide a total of 1,206 winged cavalry.

Before the Great Crusade, Zoshenk alone could muster this number of warriors.

But the war destroyed Kislev's war system. Both its economy and population fell to the bottom. Now more than a thousand cavalrymen are considered a large army.

The Coza Corps of the Western States also arrived at Zoshenk in the evening, and the sound of Ugor archers' hooves sounded in the north almost at the same time.
