Chapter 2582 Risk and Reward

This is a tall and large treehouse, with simple yet expensive furniture displayed in an extremely artistic way, neither looking shabby nor empty.

In the middle of the living room, on one side of the round table, Simmons Locke was holding an expensive porcelain tea cup and waved to me with a smile.

I didn't know why, so I stepped in, stopped one meter away from him, and said seriously: "Greetings to your Majesty, may I ask what your Majesty wants from me?"

Simmons Locke had a straight face, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Don't be so serious. Sit down and talk."

I am ashamed of his behavior that does not care about etiquette. You are the king of one country, and I am the elder of another country. When you invite me over, do you even avoid a few hypocritical greetings?

Tsk, what a barbaric guy.

I couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as I sat down here, Simon West Locke took the initiative to pour me a cup of fragrant tea with a teapot. This move shocked me.

When I came into contact with Simmons Locke before, he was not like this!

Although he doesn't care about my rude behavior, he definitely won't take the initiative to pour me tea and water. What's going on today? The sun comes out from the south?

My mind was empty, and I stared blankly as the tea cup was filled little by little. The corners of my eyes twitched slightly, and I asked in a trembling voice: "If there is something wrong with you, Your Majesty, you might as well say it bluntly. The fact that you suddenly poured me tea is really a big deal." I’m so flattered. I can’t afford it, I can’t afford it!”

"Hey, what can't you afford? You are an elder from a foreign tribe in Moonlight City, and you are also my grandson's niece's son-in-law. Our grandson and grandson are very close, right?"

As he spoke, he bared his teeth at me, revealing a smile that he thought was warm and genial, but was actually a hideous and terrifying smile.

Until this moment, I suddenly discovered that a smile can be so terrifying.

This discovery directly overturned my world view, and at the same time shattered the influence of "people who love to laugh, their luck will not be too bad" on me.

If anyone shows a smile like Simmons Locke's, even if Brother Monkey doesn't regard him as a monster and knocks him down with a stick, he will definitely be stabbed to death by a group of guys in strange clothes with peach wood swords.

This smile is so monster!

I responded to Simmons Locke's question with an ugly smile, and picked up the tea that he poured full of, feeling the warmth of the hot tea flowing between my fingers, and drank half the cup with a sip. , to show approval.

Simmons Locke was very happy when he saw this. He put down the teapot, chatted with me for a few words about useless things, and then extended the topic to the giant dragon outside the city.

"Can you let my personal guards also compete with the giant dragon in martial arts?"

Simmons Locke half begged, half demanded.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there's really nothing I can do about this." As I said that, I glanced out the window and looked at the evil dragon Spie who was having a great time playing with the four little lolita, the little lantern and the little squeak. Now, he then said: "The dragon's will is free. Whether it's eating, drinking, sleeping, or sparring with others, these are beyond my control. I can only make the dragon feel friendly and consult with others." Only after the dragon agrees can you spar with the dragon."

"If any of the above two points are not satisfied, the dragon will not agree to the sparring. Once the sparring is enforced, the dragon will treat your personal guards as enemies and attack them as fiercely as the enemies."

I paused and said helplessly: "I believe you won't want to see this scene."

After hearing what I said, Simmons Locke frowned and said, "Why? I heard that the dragons are obedient to you, and they will not refuse any request you make. Is this true?"

I spread my hands helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe it? If my words are really so useful, would there be any need to supply so much food every day? All of this is just a transaction. They agreed to help. We sparred, and I promised to send them fresh delicacies.”

After hearing this, Simmons Locke seemed to have found a breakthrough and said to me: "If I also provide food, can I also please the dragon?"

"To be honest, I don't know." I shook my head and said, "It seems that even if you give a gift, it depends on the identity of the gift giver. As a descendant of an ancient family, you are obviously not on the list of dragons allowed to fight in single combat."

"Then what should we do?" Simmons Locke slapped the table with his big hand, a look of disappointment flashed on his face, and said: "I made a bet with other city lords. The loser will lose a lot of money."

"Money?" I sneered and said, "With all due respect, Your Majesty, you must not be trying to please me because of money and plan to get in touch with the dragon through my channels. And I also believe that your sole proprietorship must not be because of money." Money, but more important things, such as ore."

Simmons Locke's eyelids twitched and he lowered his voice and said, "Did you plant spies around me?"

"How is that possible?" I asked.

"Then how do you know the content of the bet between Carter Horton and me?"

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" I said slowly: "According to my understanding of Your Majesty, you are sensible, strong, and courageous. You will definitely not let your bodyguard, who can only be said to be good in strength, compete with a giant dragon. This Not only is it useless to him, it may even severely injure or even kill him——"

"After all, the other party is a giant dragon!"

I said solemnly.

Simmons Locke smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I understand what you said, but the key point is that Carter Horton and I have already made a bet. Once we lose, not only will we have to compensate a lot of ore, but we will also have to pay a page Fragments of historical documents.”

"What!" I asked in surprise: "You actually used the fragments of historical documents as bets? Are you kidding me?"

Simmons Locke shook his head and said: "Of course I don't need to make such a joke, because all of this is true. At the same time, I want to tell you that the main reason why I placed such a heavy bet is because of Carter Horton The price offered is also very pleasing to me.”

"What's Carter Horton's bet?" I asked curiously.

"Like mine, it is also a fragment of ore and historical documents. And this fragment, unlike the fragment I hold, is said to be a fragment of historical documents that records the origins of various disasters."

"Hiss" I took a breath and couldn't help but said: "Carter Horton really went to great lengths to make a bet with you and was willing to be killed! Not only did he use the fragmentary pages of historical documents related to the disaster as bets, He even bet a large amount of ore. To be honest, I don’t understand his purpose of doing this. It stands to reason that historical documents are priceless treasures, especially historical documents related to the place where the disaster occurred, which are even more precious."

"You know, places where disasters occur are extremely dangerous, and we all know the proverb, high risk, high reward."

I squinted my eyes and spoke word by word.
