Violet and the Thorn Bird

Gray dropped his jaw first as Gal walked out of the room.However, Gal pulled out the chair as usual, sat down beside him, and greeted him with a natural expression.

"Your eyes are straight, what's the matter, Gray, breakfast surprised you so much?" Belle lay on Gal's lap, enjoying the touch of Gal's palm comfortably.

"I think I need some cold water." Gray poured down a glass of cold water, still unable to believe it, he looked at Gal again, as if seeing him for the first time, "What's going on... God, is it a prank? I thought I should hold a funeral for you today, but you ate breakfast with me unscathed!"

"You sound a bit disappointed." Gal poured the milk into the glass, "That was a little joke, I just passed out, otherwise the Borg would have buried me directly in the doorway instead of taking me back to the room. Stop staring I watched brother, I am fine, my body is very strong, and I accepted Borg's warning, I will not play this dangerous game again next time. I heard that your eyes are red from crying for me, I am really super moved, Gray , I am willing to give all the rubies from my hometown to the dwarves! As a testimony of our sincere friendship."

"You told me it was just a game," Gray said, "do I already look like a fool with a big brain to you?"

"It's a manipulation method from the warlock, so the Gal you see now is my puppet, and he is indeed dead." Borg went downstairs. "Maybe you prefer that statement?"

"I want to say." Gray ate the bread in a bad mood, "This is even worse than the reason just now, you have to be sincere when you fool people."

"False words cover up the truth." Fanny came in with the juice, looked at Gal with some interest, "Stop asking questions about this, Gray, obviously they won't tell us the truth. But this doesn't hinder you and me Discuss in private, I love this subject. Good morning Gal, you've managed to make me doubt what I've learned in the past."

"Creation is based on bravely doubting the past." Gal held up the milk, "I wish you can explore a new path, Fanny. Don't you still want some meat? You always eat vegetables."

"I also eat fruit and fish." Fanny sat down, "Okay, now that the Borg is out, friends, I have to talk about our situation here."

"What happened?" Gal said, "while I was unconscious."

"Borg and Tabor had a fight," Gray said, "and he won, luckily he won! But we've also been completely exposed, now everyone knows that Lie Lie wanders here, and a few wanted criminals entered kingdom."

"How long have we been here?" Gal said. "The Pope doesn't seem like a good mate who will keep his mouth shut, so sooner or later we're going to be exposed."

"Fanny is worried that other mercenary groups accept the wanted mission and are ordered by Green or the temple to arrest us." Borg poured his glass lightly, "But it seems that they haven't yet."

"This is only at present." Fanny said, "I said that we will become the target of public criticism. Arresting us will not only get rewards from the supporters behind us, but also a high bounty issued by the king and the temple, plus gold coins from our family, Especially Gray's Gold Mountain. This is an unimaginable amount of money, and adventurers will be tempted."

"It's too bad that these are not all the enemies." Gray wiped his mouth, "Stoke wants to kill the Borg, the temple wants to kill the Borg, the king wants to kill the Borg, and Randolph wants to kill the Borg." Kill the Borg. They can now greet each other and say 'hey buddy, you want to kill the Borg too? Then we're friends' and really become friends."

"What the hell did Borg do?" Gal raised his hand, "Can't everyone sit down and have a good talk? We are just a mercenary group, and we never do anything harmful."

"What kind of mercenary group we are depends only on what is written on the wanted notice. No one will come out and say that we are not bad, and no one wants to be an enemy of everyone. The situation looks bad, and we can't even leave the border of Violet at the moment Fanny pushed the plate away and laid out the map, "Our mission is the Shenbing Forest, there are only two ways to reach the Shenbing Forest. One is to go through the Limon Waterfall to reach the Silent Ice Vein, and follow the road to the temple grounds Bypass the Green Grassland and go straight to the Shenbing Forest. The second is to pass through the city of Violet. The Shenbing Forest is just southeast of the Violet City. The first one is already impossible. Judging from the conflicts along the Limon line, the Pope does not intend to accommodate We once, so we turned around and came to Violet City, unfortunately Tabor will not let us pass easily. If we need to stay where we are now, it must not be a good idea. We have no rear supplies, in this Violet and Temple The angle is very dangerous, and it is easy to be cut off the back road to Ice Lake City and be trapped here."

"To make matters worse." Gray lay on the map, pointing to St. Forth at the back of the Deep Forest, "Randolph's Paladins are here now, and he is unimpeded in the kingdom. It only takes half a day to cross the Deep Forest to get here." months. I have no desire to give up my precious gold to anyone else! Especially him!"

"Take it easy," Borg said. "He's not coming."

"Why?" Gal asked. "This is a good time to arrest you."

"That's the surface." Borg looked at them. "We are in a chaotic zone, so there are infinite possibilities. Adventurers will fall in love with our bounty, so they will fall in love with our bounty, and we can also afford to hire others." , do you still believe that adventurers will be so loyal to the 'king' that they can abandon high rewards? The only principle of adventurers is to complete the task, and we can be the target of the task or the employer." Borg drank the wine, "We Paying twice as much for Randolph's head, it's not a good time for him to come here, and the king won't let him take the risk. They're more likely to press Tabor to do it."

"Why not the Pope?" Gray said. "Tuber is harder to talk to than the Pope."

"Who gave you this illusion?" Borg said, "The king can order Tabor, but he is not qualified to order Feiji, because he also needs to bow his lion's proud head to Feiji. Tabor must obey the king , this is a reality that Stoke cannot resist, so the only enemy we can see is Stoke."

"No, there is also Green." Fanny said, "Green can provide countless backup resources for all our enemies, who told them to be so rich."

"No, Green is now a friend." Borg smiled.

Check out this map.

It is no longer a piece of iron in the Xia Ge period. The ever-expanding ambitions make this map no longer satisfy the appetite of most people. They not only set their sights on each other, but also looked further north.The road of plunder that Randolph opened up has been very rewarding for Green, but they have to pay for it. The tax paid by Roseanne to the palace has tripled this autumn, and countless halls have been built for the temple, but this is only As shown, more rewards were presented to the king and pope through invisible means, so that the Green family maintained an exclusive model on this road, making the Greens the number one giant in the snake business.There is no objection to this method at present, but the appetites of the king and the pope will grow day by day. Green must always meet the needs of both parties. A solution must be found when this situation arises.

Borg was just a man, and it didn't matter that Randolph killed him.

But Borg's free mercenary group is not. They are the first to open up the wilderness. They have a powerful team that is not inferior to the regular army, and the exact amount of money is unknown.This may not have been important to the Green family, but now it is very important, they need to be free.It is necessary to cooperate with Liao alone and secretly in order to open up a road of money that runs through the wilderness and can jump out of the jurisdiction of both the king and the temple.

"Randolph will always be a child in front of his sister." Gray stroked his beard, "but Roseanne will never let us take advantage of her, she likes to make her partners suffer, so she regards her as the only savior, This makes the cooperation stronger."

"But at least she won't overdo it," Fanny said. "It sounds like we've turned into cute fat. What about the temple? The Pope doesn't care."

"As long as he doesn't come here in person," Gal licked the milk, "then I don't think wizards are very scary. As long as the Pope doesn't come in person."

"He really won't." Gray said, "He hasn't left the Silent Iceline for many years, and he never left when the king took the throne. The reason is that half of the seal of the devil's heart in the St. He is close to St. Forth, and the fluctuation of the seal will awaken the heart."

"Is that so?" Gal looked in disbelief, "It's just a heart, it's not scary to wake up, and he didn't leave his hometown because of this?"

"You underestimated the Demon King." Fanny said, "He is really scary."

Gal laughed out loud, "Don't be like this, Fanny, we have also accepted the task of crusade against the Demon King, I will be very scared if you say that."

"Xiago's expedition was not easy, and too many people died on the way." Fanny started the lesson again, "It is rumored that Xia Ge almost died in the hands of the devil, but the blessing of the elves made him survive at the critical moment. , so as to find the weakness of the devil. Don't laugh, kid! I really regret not giving you a lesson earlier. The exact time of the birth of the devil is impossible to trace, but what is known is that he was with the gods, and may even be with the gods He drank alcohol or robbed women, in short, he was still alive after Ragnarok, if it wasn't for the name 'Devil King' with too many bloody legends, he might be able to become the last true god."

"Sounds cool," Gall said. "I love this kind of story."

"I still can't believe that he can be resurrected." Fanny said, "Because we are safe and sound, Randolph killed his brother."

"He must be near us," Gray said to Gall. "I've thought so since the moment the eyes were lost. His silence just hasn't got all the missing parts back. He's brewing more anger and fear. Be careful." Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think we can complete this task in our lifetime."

"You really should be careful." Borg lifted Belle, "The cruel devil will scare the cubs to tears, you should talk about something else."

"I know a secret, I guarantee that none of you have heard of it." Gal smiled mysteriously, "Ice Lake City was built in an ice lake, why is that?"

"Because we lost to the abyss in the first battle, and gave up half of the frozen lake." Gray said, "My dad often lamented that it was a very fierce battle."

"Yes, it's very intense." Gal glanced at Borg, "Xiago made a bet with Sean, betting on what color underwear a curly-haired banshee is wearing, huh, and Sean won."

There was silence at the table.

Gray suddenly burst out laughing, and he patted Gal on the back, "You became very humorous kid after you passed out! Well, well, is our kingdom warrior like this? This story is very special."

"That's the kind of man he is." Gal looked at him. "I promise I'm telling the truth! Why do you look like you got a fucking joke?"

"Is this new humor?" Gray said, "and keep it real."

"..." Gal pulled over the chair, "I knew you didn't believe me."

"What about these snake people?" Fanny kicked Gray with a headache while laughing, "Quiet! Dwarves!"

"Hey, maybe we can take them in." Gray slowed down his laughter, "Send them back to our house, where they are the safest. I think they are very special. How can I say that when I was in the academy, the teacher always said that human beings are the most intelligent, But that’s not the case. The elves who study the ancient scrolls are the elves, and the snake people who talked to the tree people. I don’t like how Randolph treats them.”

"Are you sure you want to do this? It's not convenient to contact transportation now, but I think someone will help if I use the money." Fanny said.

"You didn't say 'big trouble,'" Gray said. "I'm surprised!"

"Because our big trouble is here." Fanny said, "What the hell is Tabor trying to do? Are we going to fight him again? And that warlock, I care about him very much, we have to solve this trouble."

"Tuber's wish was simple," Borg said.

Everyone looked at him together, "What?"

"He wanted to go to Dad and cry and tell me how bad I was," Borg raised an eyebrow, "It's as simple as that."

"Then we really can't be satisfied." Fanny frowned, "Are we going to pick up your father's coffin?"

"I'm afraid it's too late, ma'am." Borg said softly, "Xiago's coffin has already been stolen by the Warlock Union."

"Then what should we do?" Gray said, "We've been talking for a long time and we're still where we are!"

"Brother is not sensible." Gal clenched his fist and lifted it up. "Just beat him up. Tell him we must go, because we are the messengers of justice and we are hunting down the devil."

"Hunting the devil?" Fanny said, "We haven't even seen the devil."

"Whatever, just tell him that," Gal said, "just say we already know where the eyes are, and we must get through here now for the safety of humanity. 'Listen friend, don't let me save the world, get out of the way', just so!"

To this, Tabor responded with a middle finger, and dropped the gate of Violet City by the way, completely trapping them in the city.
