Communication with spider tamers is much more difficult than expected. Although it has fallen to the point of selling employers to get a living, it is another thing to really get the information from the mouth of a professional mercenary. This is not to say that the other party is not willing to answer the cheese question. The spider tamer''s attitude towards answering the mage''s question can even be said to be positive. Some questions were often just opened by cheese, and the little girl told the mage the questions he wanted to ask with the answers.
However, these answers are obviously highly disciplined. They can answer yes or no questions. Spider tamers will never say one more word. Even if the mage''s question is too complex to answer with simple right and wrong, the other party''s answer will be shortened as much as possible, and the answers to sensitive questions will always be stopped.
What''s more, cheese also noticed that while asking questions, the little girl also intentionally used answers to guide the mage''s direction of inquiry away from her employer. Although she could force the other party to pull the conversation back to the right track through verbal threats, such communication was undoubtedly extremely inefficient.
The conversation drained cheese''s patience. However, Rosa, who watched the whole conversation between the two, was very clear about the problem.
"If you ask her that, it won''t work out tomorrow." The count of Heishan patted the mage on the shoulder and said.
"These mercenaries have no loyalty, but to save their lives, they can be more strict than the best spies."
How to deal with mercenaries may be a problem for cheese who grew up in the mage tower. But for Lothar, who knew everything on the battlefield at a young age, the vultures and hyenas chasing profits were familiar to him. In many cases, a nobleman can''t afford enough to maintain the army, and in order to ensure the force of his territory, mercenaries become their best choice. He did the same thing when Lothar had just taken over his territory.
In Lothar''s understanding, these mercenaries were sometimes guards to defend the city, sometimes they were good at escorting the caravan. But more often than not, they are robbers, assassins, ears and eyes who steal information. For the sake of profit, they can kill the former employer without scruple, and even kill each other. Once a lord who hated mercenaries said this.
"The best way to solve those mercenaries? Just wait for the one in the middle to get rid of the last one. "
Although this is a little biased, after all, a bag of gold coins is not enough to let the mercenaries ignore their lives. But the truth is true, at least for most mercenaries. However, because of this impression, the number of mercenaries who have been killed by people and the number of mercenaries who have killed their employers have kept a good balance. And since all people regard mercenaries as disposable pieces. How to get as much commission as possible, but also to protect their own lives, not to be killed by the employer, has become a subject all mercenaries are studying.
"The dumb and the blind live to the end, don''t they?" Rosa said to the spider tamer.
"Hoo It seems that you are a sensible adult. To be honest, I''m under a lot of pressure to answer these impossible questions all the time. " A slight smile rose from the corner of her mouth, as if to relax at Lothar''s understanding, said the little girl. As for whether her spirit has really relaxed as she showed, I''m afraid no one but herself will know.
"Well, let''s talk about a deal." The count of Heishan pulled a chair and motioned for cheese to sit aside. "First of all, what''s your name?"
"You can call me a net worm." Said the girl. Obviously it''s a code name, but Lothar doesn''t care.
"I can understand your concern, Miss nettle. Your spiders have just been killed by my companion. If you sell your employer to us now, I think you''ll be in danger if you leave this room. But what I want to tell you is that your employer just killed a friend of this gentleman''s yesterday, if you don''t say anything of substantial value. I''m afraid we can only do something terrible to you in order to warn your employer. I don''t think we want to see that, do we? "
"But if I tell you and your friends what I shouldn''t, I don''t think I''ll be any better off." The net worm replied.
"That''s what I want to say. How about that? You tell us about your employer. I swear on the honor of the Heishan family and my Lothar that the Heishan family will protect you until this matter is known. I believe you know how powerful my family is in this kingdom. " Rosa said that since the other side''s concerns come from the fear of their own lives, then his assurance is necessary.
"Heishan family?" Hearing Lothar''s report to her family, the net worm''s expression was obviously shaken. Although she had guessed about Lothar''s signboard dress for a long time, she was surprised to hear that the count of Heishan admitted his identity in person. But the expression on her face soon returned to normal.
"But How can I believe the promise of a count who can''t protect his own territory? Do you think so? " Say, the net bug''s face shows obviously is intentionally perplexing expression. Obviously, she was having fun in naloxa. By this time, the webworm has understood how eager cheese is for the information in their hands.Cheese noticed that Lothar''s facial muscles were visibly stiff after the webworm said this. The mage had some doubts about why Lothar appeared in Wangdu for a long time. Now it seems that this doubt has been solved by the mercenary''s words.
With a deep breath, Lothar calmed her anger. For a lord, the inability to protect her territory was the greatest insult imaginable. But at this time the count of black mountain was very clear that the other side would only challenge himself if he saw this point.
"In addition to the promise of protection, no matter how much your employer has promised you, the Heishan family is willing to pay the same price."
"Hee hee, thank you for your generosity. However, my little pets have just been burned to death by the adult in the gray robe. I can''t guarantee that I won''t forget some details because of sadness. " The girl said with a smile.
"Don''t go too far!" Cheese stood up, apparently very angry at the net worm''s rude request, but Lothar held out a hand in front of the mage.
"Five hundred Cangshi gold coins are used to compensate your spiders." Said Lothar, biting her teeth.
"Then I will tell you all that I know, my Lord."
