Chapter 448 Hunter, Shepherd, Domestic Servant, Rich Merchant
Chapter 448 Hunter, Shepherd, Domestic Servant, Rich Merchant
"You're done testing, what are you going to do now?" Yarrow changed the topic, his smile remained the same, but he seemed a little colder for no reason.
Anabe stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency, for opening up a way of life for many people in the earl's territory! On behalf of all the demon hunters of the Manticore School, I would like to thank you!"
"Didn't you give up your identity as a witcher? Why? Can you represent all the witchers of the Manticore School?" Yarrow played with the small wooden cup, with a playful smile on his lips.
Anabe touched his vicissitudes of beard, and laughed at himself:
"Because all the demon hunters of the Manticore School wanted to thank you, but unfortunately, only I, who gave up my identity as a demon hunter, ran into you here."
"Okay," Yarrow put down the wooden cup and looked up, "Can I tell you a little story?"
Seeing that the other party was noncommittal, Yarrow continued after deliberation:
"One day, a well-meaning shepherd took in an excellent hunter, even built a house for the hunter, and paid for the hunter to form a family and leave heirs.
The hunter was grateful and wanted to help the shepherd deal with the surrounding wolves, but he did something bad with good intentions and hunted down the wolves domesticated by the servants of the nobles next door.
The servant had long been envious of the shepherd's flock, so he used this as an excuse to forcefully demand the shepherd's flock.
The hunter really thought that the target was himself, and with the idea of redemption, he gave up the house, took his wife and children away from the shepherd, and then watched his benefactor surrounded by wolves..."
"The hunter didn't leave for atonement, but because of timidity and fear!" Anabe interrupted in a bad tone.
Yarrow's adaptation: "Okay, because the hunter has a wife and children, he has a lot of worries, so he voluntarily left the shepherd..."
Anabe didn't deny it this time.
Yaro continued:
"The hunter wants to save his benefactor, so he hovers around the wolves every day, but he is afraid of the strength of the noble army and even the servants, so he dare not take the initiative.
Until a passing bard accidentally also encountered the wolves, opening a gap without knowing anything.
Although the hunter didn't dare to face the nobles directly, but someone stood in front, and he was tinkering behind, and he still had the guts to hold back.
It just so happened that the real nobles died long ago, and now some servants are maintaining the nobles' family business.
The hunter quietly sent a message to the rich merchants outside, telling them how rich the noble family was, which aroused the greed of the rich merchants.
In order to maintain the family business, the domestic servants had to mobilize manpower, which in turn allowed the shepherds to maintain the deadlock..."
From here, we can also know why after Yarrow killed Red Llanelli, there was no trouble for so long.
Regardless of whether the people behind Reid Llanelli belong to "domestic servants" or "rich businessmen", the most important thing for them now is to use their power to snatch existing benefits, rather than expend these powers on revenge .
What's more, the 'domestic servant' and the 'rich businessman' are fighting endlessly because of interests, and the manpower is already tight. There may not be any extra manpower to investigate Red Llanelli's 'disappearance case'.
As time goes on, it will be more difficult to investigate.
This kind of confusion might be thrown directly at the opponent's head again.
"Mr. Yue, there is a big loophole in your story," Anabe pointed out. "Since the hunter has the ability to know the noble's property, why didn't he make a gap himself before? Anyway, he can follow the same method later to go to the Delaying the energy of the 'household'."
Yaro smiled lightly and said:
"It's just a short story, and it's normal to have some loopholes, isn't it?
But it can also be made up for here...
For example, the hunter didn't know before that after being driven out of his homeland, he gradually discovered the noble's assets while chasing his prey?
Or maybe the hunter didn't know the reality of the 'noble' before, and only after he did that did he realize that the 'noble' is so weak?
Or maybe the hunter was not alone, and there were disputes between them, and the time was delayed by the dispute. After the incident happened, some hunters chose to leave their identity as hunters and do things that dragged their feet?
Is it even possible that the combination of the above guesses is the real result?
Well, I think maybe the last guess may be the real reason... What do you think? "
Anabe's eyes became serious: "Mr. Yue, what is the purpose of you telling me this story?"
Yarrow tapped the scabbard on his leg with two fingers and made a 'bump' sound: "Mr. Anabe, don't you think that in this story, the hunter owes the bard too much?"
"The shepherd will reward the bard with a piece of pasture." Anabe murmured.
Yarrow asked: "What does the shepherd's reward have to do with the hunter? What's more, the pasture was laid down by the bard himself, and he exchanged means with the shepherd, which was approved by the shepherd in name.
In the middle, what did the hunter do?
Oh, no, the hunter is still busy using the bard at this time, how can he have the heart to help him? "
Anabe was silent.
"Even if the result is good, the 'hunter' will push all the possible risks on the 'bard' after all," Yarrow asked again, "Mr. Anabe, do you think that the hunters used Bard, shouldn't I ask the hunter for some reasonable reward?"
It's good that the suffering master didn't find out about this kind of thing, but if it was discovered and was questioned by the suffering master, Anabe didn't know how to answer it.
"Um, should I? I don't know. After all, it's just a story. Besides, I'm just a mercenary who has broken away from being a demon hunter. I'm really not sensitive to such political issues." Anabe squeaked Woohoo.
The corners of Yarrow's mouth turned up, and he said with a sneer:
"You can go back after leaving, even if you can't go back, there are other ways to contact the demon hunter.
What's more, don't the 'hunters' who have broken away from the status of 'hunters' not have to bear this responsibility?
Didn't they share the shepherd's favor together before? "
Anabe's lips were tightly closed, his chest was rising and falling, and his mood was obviously very disturbed.
He was silent for a long time, licked his lips, and asked suddenly: "What do you... bard want?"
"Magic material rich in vitality!"
After a long circle, Yarrow finally revealed his purpose.
There is no way, Yarrow really doesn't have a good bargaining chip in his hand, so he can only forcibly pull out a favor, and then use this favor as a bargaining chip.
"How rich should it be?" Anabe asked again.
"I don't have high requirements for the quality of magic materials, as long as they are in quantity, and the more the quantity, the better."
