Chapter 112.
Chapter 112 – The Deal
After the sharp dagger touched the Swordfish’s forehead, it could not penetrate any deeper, and fell to the ground with a “clatter”.
The pirate leader almost could not believe his own eyes, if it was any other accident, he likes to keep a hand, he still has a lot of follow-up secret moves to deal with, but in the face of such a violation of common sense, always be able to randomly adapt to the pride of his immediate panic, just stood still, with a look of disbelief at the other side.
“Aiyaa, your strength is really great, a good pair of masks made you break it.”
“Swordfish rubbed his forehead, then pinched the skin on the edge of his forehead and pulled it down, a piece of “skin” was slowly pulled off.
Gaden realized at once: the other party was using a human skin mask to disguise himself as a swordfish.
He had seen this kind of mask, must be peeled off the facial skin of the object of disguise, and then use some kind of secret technique to make, so the real swordfish has been killed.
Not true! A thin human skin couldn’t protect against the dagger he threw with so much force, otherwise wouldn’t the armor of those knights become a joke.
He stared dead at the other party’s forehead, there was no wound at all, it seemed that the other party had really resisted his attack with his flesh alone.
After the human skin mask was completely removed, the other party pulled his hair off with another hand and complained, “Wearing a wig can be really hard!”
The mysterious person’s face was completely revealed, and it was an extraordinary face: not a single hair on the top of his naked head, and his face was tattooed with strange tattoos, and the patterns made up by the tattoos seemed to have a kind of strange magic, making people inexplicably panicked at first glance.
Now this strange face was showing a mocking expression, as if the pirate leader in front of him was a small pet that could be teased at will.
This person was very evil, very evil, and Gaden secretly reminded himself that the situation was now completely controlled by the other party’s grasp.
He calmed down and asked again, “Who exactly is Your Excellency? What is the purpose of coming here?”
This time the question was finally answered.
“To introduce myself, my name is Barnett and I am a member of the ‘Secret Law Society’. Came here to negotiate a deal with you.”
Secret Spell Society? Never heard of it, it’s quite a strange name for an organization.
Gaden tried his best to search for this ‘Secret Spell Society’ in his memory, but in the end, there wasn’t a single bit of information about this organization.
As if he could tell what he was thinking inside, the man named Barnett waved his hand at him and said, “Don’t bother trying to recall, our organization has never shown itself in front of mortals before.”
Mortals? The Secret Society?
A ridiculous thought popped into the pirate leader’s head: this man in front of him couldn’t be a sorcerer, could he?
How can …… wait! This is not impossible, just thrown over the knife normal humans have to be finished ah.
Legendary things actually manifested in front of himself, Gaden instead did not feel fear, but his heart still beat wildly, this fucking …… is really too exciting.
“Oh, you have a lot of guts! It looks like you are indeed cautious rather than timid in the world.” The other party said so.
This mysterious Barnett was able to guess his current inner activities, and Gaden was once again surprised at the other party’s unfathomability.
He carefully asked, “If you don’t mind, can I address you as Master Barnett?”
Barnett laughed, “Master? It looks like you’ve already guessed my identity. That’s right, I am indeed a sorcerer, but we prefer to call ourselves ‘wizards’.”
The other party was surprisingly quick to admit it, and Gaden continued to ask, “So what kind of deal did Master Barnett come to my place to talk about?”
Gaden’s heart that had been hanging in the air somewhat relaxed, since the other party had come to talk about a deal, then he shouldn’t have any other intentions towards him.
Thinking carefully, this Barnett had been lurking by his side for who knows how long, and with the unfathomable depths he was showing now, if there were any unfavorable attempts against him, why would he have waited until now.
Barnett said, “Want you to do a little something for us, and how about we pay you up front?” Gaden asked, “Little thing? What little thing?”
“Split the kingdom of Aldo.”
Gaden was speechless for a moment, “Uh …… with all due respect, is that a small thing?”
But he saw Barnett say arrogantly, “Hmph! It’s a small thing compared to what we’ll end up doing.”
Gaden snorted, “Master Barnett, you’re barking up the wrong tree, with these 200 or so people and a few broken ships under me, just any minor lord can make my head explode.”
Barnett waved his hand and said, “I’ve said I’ll pay you first, why don’t you ask what the payment is first? Knowing that might give you confidence in yourself.”
“Well, may I ask what you’ll be paid in advance?”
Barnett curled the corner of his mouth and slowly said, “How about the reward for helping you to unify the Northwest Gulf and become the second Edward?”
The pirate leader’s heart jumped wildly when he heard this, becoming a giant pirate on the sea like Edward, that was the ultimate dream of every pirate.
Order all the pirate groups in the Northwest Sea, forcing the major lords to recognize their own sphere of influence, Edward did things can be said to have no precedent, in the future generations to see the history is definitely a colorful one.
Gaden of course also wanted to obtain a historical position like Edward, either to be immortalized or to be left behind, this was the idea in his head when he joined the pirate industry.
But so far it was just a thought.
“Well? With a strength like Edward’s, you should be able to arm wrestle the lords of the Northwest, right?”
Barnett added, “We’re not asking you to go ashore to fight the Kingdom of Aldo head on, we simply want you to hold the kingdom’s army at sea and along the coast, and help transport some soldiers and food from the waterways, we’ve already arranged things inland.”
If he could reach an achievement like Edward’s, it wouldn’t be hard to go through with what he said, but Gaden was a bit skeptical in his heart, could this person in front of him or the organization behind him really help him achieve this dream? It didn’t seem likely no matter how you thought about it.
Could it be by means of legendary magic, sorcery and the like, after all, the other party had admitted that he was a sorcerer.
“I know you’re doubting our ability to pay for this.”
With a knowing look, Barnett pulled out a small pill and placed it on the tabletop in front of Gaden.
“Well? Have the guts to take one and try it? This will bring some unexpected changes to your body, changes that can give you a preliminary judgment of the strength of the ‘Secret Society’.”
Gaden reached out and cupped the pill on the tabletop, looking it over carefully; it was red in color and it was impossible to tell what it was made of.
He was a bit indecisive, to eat or not to eat?
Seeing the pirate head’s hesitant appearance, Barnett said, “To tell you the truth, this kind of medicine to eat too much does have some side effects, but I assure you, once or twice out of the question.”
Gaden secretly thought, this Barnett should not harm himself, or that sentence, to kill himself long ago.
For the sake of his great cause, spell it out! He secretly made up his mind.
The pill was sent into the mouth, throat movement, swallowed ……
Thank you for the reward from “Never Least Least”!
