Chapter 157 Expired Chips
Chapter 157 Expired chips
"Where did you get this news?" Anthony asked in a deep voice.
"It was my master who told me, sir." Xinon replied respectfully.
"Your master? Why didn't he come?"
"My master is not in the city now, he left a long time ago."
"So..." Anthony smiled: "Then tell your master, if you want to talk to me, please let him talk to me in person, okay, you can leave."
Xinong was stunned for a moment: "I understand, sir."
"Slow down!" Mike, who was sitting on the side, shouted sternly, his lips trembled slightly, and blue veins appeared on his neck. His emotions seemed to be extremely excited, and he didn't know what could stimulate him like this.
"Sir, are you still in trouble?" Xinong asked in surprise. His attitude and his eyes were very sincere. No one could tell from Xinong's expression, because he really didn't know anything.
"You just said that your master asked you to pass this news to Lord Anthony? And your master left White Mountain City a long time ago?" Mike sternly said.
"Yes, sir."
"You're not lying?!" Mike's voice rose a few more degrees.
"I can swear, I absolutely did not lie, sir!"
Anthony was stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, showing a look of shock. They had just received the news that the Dark Moon Magic Legion was trapped at the foot of the Suago Mountains, and Yuland, the king of the Mao Empire, was not dead. The ordinary person in front of him actually learned the top secret news a long time ago. What does this mean? It means that if they met this ordinary person as soon as possible, they could save Niuinheim's fate. It can save the Dark Moon Magic Legion's fate, and it can even be said that they can save the fate of an empire! This causal relationship is so serious that Anthony, who has not changed his color even though Mount Tai collapsed before, couldn't help but change his color.
"Then why didn't you come to see us early? Must you delay it until now?" Mike suddenly stood up. He was the main brain of the condolence group sent by the Elison Empire to the Mercenary Country. Mike, the palace magician who was second only to Niuinheim, rushed to Baishan City to discuss countermeasures with Anthony, but before the matter was discussed properly, he received bad news that his old friend Niuinheim was trapped in the Suagore Mountains. Now he knew that he had the opportunity to save these crises, so his emotions became uncontrollable.
"Sir, my master sent someone to tell me the news three days ago and asked me to come to find Lord Anthony. I didn't know it before!" Xinong was complaining.
"What about three days ago? Why not come?"
"I've been here."
"What??" Anthony and Mike exclaimed in unison. Mike glanced at Anthony quickly, which made Anthony feel very embarrassed. It seemed that he deliberately concealed the news and refused to report it.
"Xinon, don't talk nonsense! Why didn't I know you've been here three days ago?" Anthony shouted.
"Xinong, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened and don't worry. I'll make the decision for you!" Mike said immediately, but the subconscious in his words had a tit-for-tat smell to Anthony.
"Mr. Anthony, of course you have never seen me. Your guard didn't let me in at all. I told them again and again that I had extremely important things to see you, but they didn't believe anything, and asked me to tell them the matter first." Xinon showed a very helpless look: "But my landlord warned me that I must tell you the matter in person, and that I must not tell anyone. My master said that this matter is too important, and no one except Lord. Anthony can trust it."
Mike sat on the chair weakly, and Anthony's embarrassment turned into mourning. The matter was clear, but who could he blame? No matter what, he was also the leader of a super mercenary group. He was not the only one who wanted to see him. Xinong was just an extremely ordinary person. Who would have thought that he had such an important secret? It was reasonable for the guards to reject Xinong's request.
"I came for three days in a row and never saw the master. I felt very anxious. Later, I told the messenger about this matter to the master. The messenger of the master said with a wry smile. It was really easy for the God of Light to see, but Bishop of Light was too difficult. He had no choice but to give me more than a dozen gold coins and asked me to hand it over to the guards, saying that they would not make things difficult for them. After all, no one would spend more than a dozen gold coins to joke." Xinong continued: "The messenger of the master also said that we should tell the master such important news that we should have received the reward from the master, but who knew that we would have to spend money. It was too absurd. The messenger of the master also said that he would advise the master to not do such stupid things in the future."
Mike snorted coldly, and Anthony also felt a fever on his face. It was obvious that the other party's owner knew that the news was too important and could not reach an agreement on the interests in a short period of time. So he made a big bet, and the bet was that Anthony was not a person who broke the bridge across the river, but Anthony said nothing until now, and forced the other party to spend money. This was a bit rogue!
"Have you ever said what you want?" Anthony asked slowly.
"My master said he hoped to get a promise from Lord Anthony."
"What kind of commitment?"
"The master hasn't said it."
Anthony was silent for a while: "Okay, I agree! You can tell your master that if he encounters any difficulties, as long as he finds me, Anthony, I will definitely help you and never break your promise!" Anthony did not say enough, but just agreed to solve the difficulties for the mysterious man.
"Thank you, Lord Anthony."
"But you have to tell me your master's name first?" Anthony asked tentatively.
"He is called the judge."
"Judge?"
"It means the judge."
"What a mighty name." Anthony smiled reluctantly: "If I have something to find your landlord, I just need to find you?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then." Anthony nodded: "But the place where you live is a bit unsafe. I want to send some people to protect you. Please rest assured. I am not trying to monitor you, but I am just afraid that you will have an accident."
"I understand, thank you Lord Anthony."
"And. Xinong, how many times did you find this place, are the same guards you met?"
"It's the land."
Anthony was silent for a moment and shouted, "Come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two mercenaries walked in from outside the door together: "Sir!"
"Who is guarding the door these days?"
"It's Jacob's squad."
"Let Jacob come in and see me!"
The two mercenaries turned around and walked out. It was not long. A middle-aged mercenary hurried in and said respectfully: "Sir, do you tell me something is wrong?"
"Jacob, did you make a fortune today?" Anthony's temperament changed drastically. He was a harmless ordinary person just now. In the blink of an eye, he became a strong man with a fierce murderous aura that made people cold from scalp to soles of his feet. The cold light burst out from his eyes was even brighter than the sword light: "Tell me, how much did you earn?"
Jacob scolded Xinon for being too careless, but he did not dare to be negligent in his actions. He knelt on the ground with a trembling voice: "Sir, I... the villain has collected fifteen gold coins. Sir, it's not that the villain wants to collect it, but that he must give it to the villain!"
"Trust him into death row!" Anthony's words were very plain, but in the blink of an eye, determined Jacob's fate.
"Sir. I'm wronged. He must give the villain gold coins. If you don't believe it, please ask him..."
Before Jacob could finish his words, Anthony had already drawn his sword out of the sheath. A dazzling sword light swept over and split Jacob into two pieces like cutting tofu. When the blood flower just bloomed, Anthony had already put his sword in the sheath and sat there like nothing wrong.
Xinong was startled by the scene of blood flying and hurriedly lowered his head. After all, he was just an ordinary person and was still a little scared when he saw this scene.
"You dare to argue. Then I'll give you some fun." Anthony said slowly: "You can immediately lock all the Jacob's team in the death row and wait for my order to deal with it."
"As for your order, sir!" The two mercenaries agreed neatly and left the living room again.
"You, go and notify the butler of the inner warehouse and ask him to come here for five hundred gold coins." Anthony waved his hand.
The young woman standing on the side of the maid hurried into the side door. After a moment, an old man in his sixties hurriedly walked in. Behind him was a young mercenary. Five hundred gold coins were very heavy, and an old man could not hold it.
A small box with a length of about 30 centimeters and a width of about thirty centimeters was opened by the old man. It was full of yellow gold coins, which was very dazzling under the illumination of the eternal light. Anthony looked at the gold coins and said with a smile: "Xinong, these are my thank-you gifts, thank you for your master for me."
"This..." Xinong was stunned.
"This is not for you, it is for your master. Don't worry, take it back. There is my people protecting you, and no one dares to make any decisions about you."
"Thank you sir."
"Anthony, if it weren't for a mistake, we should have received the news three days ago. Do you think the Darkmoon Magic Legion and Lord Niinheim are only worth 500 gold coins?" Mike said unabashedly. He vented all his anger on Anthony, and even more ridiculed Anthony's stinginess. Moreover, this was also a pity for others' generosity and had nothing to do with him.
"It's my fault." Anthony didn't care. He hesitated for a moment and asked unintentionally: "Xinong, what weapon does your master use?"
Xinong thought about it and remembered the sword that cut off the rope when he hung himself: "The master used a long sword."
"It just so happens that I have a black flame sword here. It is said that during the holy war, the dwarf land forging master specially forged land for humans. Let's give this sword to your master." Anthony waved his hand again.
