The Last Apostle Chapter 73: Coercion and temptation
Du Yuqi shook her head, then turned her head to look behind, there were several large military tents there:
"Why don't you go to rest? We're going to rescue Duize's sister early tomorrow morning, and the place we're going to is more dangerous than the Sage's Cry, which is entrenched by evil dragons." And nothing less than that! If you don't take a good rest, be careful that you won't be able to sleep if you want to sleep in the future."
Jite shrugged after hearing what Du Yuqi said:
"I was refreshed as if I hadn't slept for two or three days. Boss, when I came out, that Holmes hadn't left yet, and kept following Chang as if he wanted to say something."
Du Yuqi's eyes flashed:
"Oh? There is such a thing? Let's go! Let's go and have a look now."
The two went directly to Changmei's tent at this time, and immediately saw Holmes talking with Changmei. At this time, Holmes looked quite old, his face was pale, his body was bent and his body was very weak, He kept coughing violently, and every now and then his face was full of surprise, and he looked a little at a loss. When he saw Du Yuqi coming in, he said:
"Miss Du, you came just in time. Master Holmes actually said that she would like to be my servant. What is this?"
After Du Yuqi heard Chang's words, she immediately found it unbelievable. To be honest, he was also very shocked after hearing the news! Who is Holmes? An awakened strongman who has fought against a strongman like Feng Lin, such a person is willing to be a servant of Changji. It is unbelievable to hear such a thing.
However, after Du Yuqi walked a few steps in place, he suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and then sneered:
"I know, I know, every time, a senior like Master Holmes must not be treated as a servant, I think it's good, you sign a follower's contract with her, something like a life-and-death contract .”
Hearing Du Yuqi's words, Holmes' face was pale at first, but suddenly turned blue, and his eyes became resentful. I only felt that the smiling young man's eyes were sharp. Sharp as a knife, it will pierce straight into my heart at once!
At this time, Du Yuqi had already come to her with a smile, and then waved to the stunned Chang Mei:
"Come here quickly, every time, although Master Holmes is old and has just been seriously injured, it is estimated that her strength has been seriously damaged, but her knowledge is still good, and it is not considered to be your follower. It's a waste, by the way, do you still have a follower quota?"
Every time:
"Yes."
Du Yuqi looked at Holmes with a half-smile:
"Master Holmes, are you in good health? The temperature outside seems to be cooling down, and the weather is a bit bad. When I came in just now, I heard that the Ithilien family should have hidden a large amount of wealth. , are clamoring to go treasure hunting, you have been in the Ithilien family for decades, and you have won the trust of the patriarch, have you heard any rumors?"
After hearing Du Yuqi's words, Holmes shrank as if a balloon had been punctured.
Why did she offer to be a servant for Changji? The reason is very simple. After being poisoned at this time, it can be said that her strength has dropped significantly. Even if she is cured, she will probably fall to the bottom, and she will not even be able to overcome the hurdle of awakening.
At this time, although the Ithilien family has been destroyed, it is still a big piece of fat. There are many people who want to take a big bite in their hearts. If there is no powerful person to come forward to protect her, The end must be very miserable, some kind of torture is certain, and at the same time, all the equipment on Holmes and the wealth in the dimensional ring will be looted.
Why did Holmes propose to bow down as a servant? In fact, he was throwing out the reputation he had accumulated over the past few decades to bully such a simple little girl who was obsessed with research. Just be your own shield.
And what she lost was just some false fame. It is estimated that after the limelight subsides these days, her own strength will recover a little, that is, the rhythm of running every minute.
However, Du Yuqi saw through Holmes' calculation at a glance-so Du Yuqi immediately borrowed his strength to fight. If you want us to act as a shield for you, it's fine, but don't play with us as a false servant, just do it directly. Followers, of course, are those with strict contracts!
In the eyes of outsiders, being a follower is obviously much more respectable than being a servant, because many powerful people like to do it like this. Having a few powerful followers to support at home is both face and face. Many strong people who lack money are also flocking to it.
However, the follower Du Yuqi proposed for Holmes to be is the one with the most demanding conditions. Once signed, every time she wants to deal with her, she will have to shed a layer of skin even if she is not dead. !
If it was Holmes twenty-four hours ago, when he heard Du Yuqi speak like this, he must have laughed out of breath, and then coldly threw out the word "scroll".
However, times have changed, and Holmes at this time can only seriously consider Du Yuqi's suggestion. Obviously, with a shrewd person like Du Yuqi around, don't try to fool the past. Holmes repeatedly weighed After pros and cons, he finally said tragically:
"My personal belongings must be preserved."
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"It's impossible for you to keep all of them. In this way, you take out all your property, and our group chooses two. Iron Wolf is a character who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles. You have to send two pieces, and the rest is yours."
Holmes gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay."
Then she continued:
"My strength has dropped significantly now, and I don't have many years to live. You can be a follower, but for one year. After one year, you have to let me go unconditionally."
Du Yuqi took a deep look at Holmes, and suddenly sneered:
"It seems that you haven't figured out the current situation yet. You have repeatedly bargained with me, thinking that we can't get along without you? Do you think I can talk easily?"
Speaking of this, Du Yuqi turned his face and said:
"I've changed my mind! Jeter, go and check everything on her body, take off the dimension ring together, and drive her out!"
The muscular stick of Jeter immediately spit out a few pieces of melon seeds, and then strode up eagerly, reaching out to grab Holmes' hair, Holmes was shocked, and hurriedly resisted , but she was the opponent of a rude barbarian like Jeter, and thought of the consequences of being kicked out after being stripped of things, she choked up and said:
"Stop it, stop it! I promise it!"
After hearing this, Du Yuqi told Jeter to stop. The next step was to ask Changmei to make Holmes his follower, and then communicate with him in private: You can sing red face.
Holmes is injured and old, and the remaining value of her body is not much. The most precious thing should be her experience. She has learned a lot of things. In this case, it is okay to let her go back to the elderly. Give her a hope of freedom, but she will be more active in doing things.
However, I must take the initiative in this kind of thing. I can let you go if I am in a good mood, but you can take the initiative to take it, but it is absolutely impossible.
After dealing with Holmes' matter, Du Yuqi went to rest. When she got up early the next morning, she often gathered the collected information together, and then yawned loudly. Both eyes were red, obviously from not sleeping all night.
Du Yuqi picked up the information and began to study it carefully~IndoMTL.com~The next step is to wait for the news from Mingxi. She has been rescued from the ice at this time and is recovering from her injuries. It was still in the headquarters of the son of Ramis, so it would be the most appropriate to ask her to help inquire whether what Duize wanted could be auctioned off.
After studying the information for a while, Xi came in again and told Du Yuqi the good news, that is, after she healed Holmes before, she found that although her strength had dropped drastically, she was still quite good. The only remaining high-level creatures that can be summoned are the four primary elves, the mechanical goblin Hedel, and the black knight Sandor, but the speed and quantity of summoning are far higher than ordinary summoners. .
After hearing such good news, Du Yuqi was quite happy, but sighed regretfully:
"Is there no news from Lin?"
Xi shook her head and said:
"No, according to the people around him, this time Lin completely disappeared as if the world had evaporated. I felt something in my heart, so I decided to make a break."
