"What? He said he wanted to destroy Storm City and change its name to Black Wolf City?" Heywood was so angry that he rubbed the armrests of his chair.
"It's just talk. I don't believe that if the Storm God Cult doesn't pay them the full amount, they will dare to slap them in the face." Guan Liyuan comforted him firmly.
Heywood was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but after just a short while, he calmed down again...
"Are you still willing to pay the ransom? The Storm God Cult is really upright." Guan Liyuan couldn't help but look at Heywood strangely.
Heywood thought Guan Liyuan looked down on him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry - but he didn't know that Guan Liyuan not only looked down on him, but also wondered if he should just go to the door and rob since the Storm God Cult was so spineless.
Of course, as a pure and innocent Guan Liyuan, he gave up this "good idea".
The Black Wolf Tribe and the forces in Storm City generally have a bad relationship. The Storm God Cult previously hired the hunting group of the Black Wolf Tribe to carry out the responsibility of suppressing bandits and even guarding the mines, which should have been the responsibility of the Storm God Cult. As a result, the people of the Black Wolf Tribe were stopped by several other forces as soon as they arrived at the edge of the city, and they firmly opposed the Storm God Cult's actions.
Guan Liyuan could probably guess that the Storm God Cult must have encountered some troubles...
Two families, one sect, and one school are the real controllers of Storm City. The city lord is usually the product of the coordination and checks and balances of the four parties, and is also their spokesperson.
At the same time, although there are mercenary groups in this plane, it is not completely the order based on employment in the ninja world in the Naruto world.
As the masters of Storm City, they must at least maintain the "general" peace in the surrounding areas of Storm City. These Storm God Cults also have their own areas of responsibility, but now they have to ask the Black Wolf Tribe for assistance?
"Which hunting group is important to the Storm God Cult?" Guan Liyuan couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a hunting group, at most equivalent to the eighth level of combat power. We, the Storm God Cult, certainly don't care, but... cough cough, it's just that after all, it involves the Black Wolf Tribe, and we don't want to expand the conflict." The second half of Haywood's sentence was obviously not true.
The seventh-level Iroh and a hundred wolf riders are actually about the same combat power as the eighth-level peak strongmen.
However, this is only the first step of cooperation, and it has failed in the first step. However, the Storm God Cult did not give up completely, and asked Iroh to convey "goodwill" to the two chiefs and the great
shaman on their behalf. "The entire Black Wolf Tribe added together is actually nothing, and it is also notorious. If the Storm God Cult needs any partners, it should try to consider stronger and more reliable ones." Guan Liyuan said meaningfully. "
Although the Black Wolf Tribe has a bad reputation, it still has strength. Although it is not as good as the Holy Realm, but..." Haywood heard what Guan Liyuan meant, but felt that Guan Liyuan was too arrogant.
"Since it is not as good as the Holy Realm, there is nothing to worry about!" Guan Liyuan interrupted directly.
Hearing this, Heywood stared at Guan Liyuan for a long time, as if he wanted to know where this young man got his confidence from.
The strength of the Black Wolf Tribe is not inferior to any of the four major forces in Storm City, except for the Iron Cloth Sect, otherwise Storm City would not have been able to sit back and watch them divide the hunting area in the west of Barbara Country.
Can we ignore it just because it is not as good as the Holy Realm? Then can the Storm God Cult also be ignored?
"Strength is not all about words..." Heywood stared at Guan Liyuan and said.
"Then why not wait for an opportunity to see it with your own eyes?" Guan Liyuan asked back.
"If... I mean if we need your help, what do you need?" Heywood asked directly.
He naturally heard Guan Liyuan's intentions and understood that Guan Liyuan had something to ask for... Even if Guan Liyuan, or the forces behind Guan Liyuan, really have such strong strength, I'm afraid they are not small.
Thinking about the recent predicament of the Storm God Cult, Heywood also felt a little bit of a pain in the ass...
"In fact, I have always been very interested in the abilities of the 'God Cult Priests'." Guan Liyuan said.
"You want the contract and cultivation method for summoning wind elements? This... unless you join the Storm God Cult..." Heywood couldn't help but hesitate. Guan Liyuan
's intentions were indeed beyond Heywood's expectations, but from a practical point of view, it was not an unbearable price, but... it was related to the principles of the God Cult!
Not to mention that handing over the core contract and cultivation method would be a shake for the status of the Storm God Cult, and if Guan Liyuan used the wind element contract to do something that annoyed the wind element plane, then the wind element elves would collectively lose their temper, and the entire Storm God Cult would be in trouble.
"No, I'm not interested in the wind element plane, I'm interested in the 'God Cult Priest'! In fact... I accidentally concluded a contract with an unrecorded plane, but I lack the cultivation method of the 'God Cult Priest' system." Guan Liyuan said half-truthfully.
"Well? It doesn't involve the wind element plane? That's not something that can't be discussed..." Heywood wavered.
Although even if it does not involve the wind elemental plane, it is just the common skills of the priests of the God Cult, and it is not something that can be taught casually, but relatively speaking, it is much easier to accept than before.
"So what exactly does the Storm Cult need help with?" Guan Liyuan asked.
Garcia had sent people to inquire before - but the mercenary group is not an intelligence department. Their source of information mainly comes from hearsay and other mercenaries who drink and brag in the tavern, so they can hardly find out about things that are too confidential.
I only know that the Storm Cult has recently sent a large number of people to other places, and even wanted to hire the Black Wolf Tribe to maintain the peace around Storm City. As a result, it had to give up because of fierce opposition from other parties. As for why the Storm Cult did this, there are many explanations, but few are credible.
"This... After the matter of the Black Wolf Tribe is resolved, let's talk to Mr. Guan." Heywood said.
It is obvious that the other party does not believe in Guan Liyuan's strength. If you want to gain the trust of the Storm Cult, Guan Liyuan needs to show a few more skills.
Like Carter, Haywood never mentioned anything about Iroh, and tacitly used the conflict with the Black Wolf Tribe to see if Guan Liyuan had the strength to cooperate!
As for the Black Wolf Tribe... it was indeed not very trustworthy. After weighing the pros and cons, Haywood had already half given up.
In the next three days, Guan Liyuan also discussed some things about magic practice with Garcia - of course, Guan Liyuan never mentioned Garcia's "Black Gold" secret method, but only discussed these with Garcia from the basic principles. In addition, Guan Liyuan tried to stimulate his "new profession".
However, the latter has never made any progress. So far, this "new profession" has not brought any benefits to Guan Liyuan. Not only is the professional rune in a sealed state, but there is no similar one in the existing illustrations. Both skills cannot be stimulated...
Three days later in the morning, just when Guan Liyuan was worried, Walker hurried to inform him that the people from the Black Wolf Tribe were coming!
"Oh? They won't arrive until the afternoon, but the whole city knows about it now? Did they come with great fanfare?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Yes, it is said that Chief Dulong personally led his hunting group of 500 Black Wolf Riders all the way to Storm City. In addition, more than a dozen headhunters also left the hunting area of the Black Wolf Tribe. Although they did not follow, they were eager to move, as if to build momentum for the chief." Walker said.
Seeing Walker's hesitation, Guan Liyuan smiled and asked: "What is the reaction of other parties in the city? Do they dislike me?"
"This... Many people complained about Brother Guan, but many people clamored to fight." Walker said honestly. "
Well, then you go and tell them for me. When the chief arrives in Storm City, I will go to talk to him in person. This is a matter between me and the Black Wolf Tribe, and no one else needs to interfere."
Guan Liyuan felt that a level 9 orc chieftain plus 500 elite Black Wolf Riders were not enough for him to show off, so it would be better not to share it with others...
