Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 490 Cooperation
In the hall, although Thorn's voice was not loud, all three of them could hear him clearly, and even Gilt put away his sloppy look.

So all three of them walked towards the chairs in the hall.

The female lord, Alvy, was seated first, separated from Thorne by a small table with drinks.

Gilt sat on the left side of Thorn, playing with a glass of cider that was not finished.

The sorceress Cecile sat on the chair beside Alvy.

Looking at Thorne's serious expression, Alvie, who is normally aloof, felt a little uncomfortable and cramped for some reason.

She took a deep breath, sorted out her words, and said calmly, "What? Seeing your expressionless face, is the owner of the Emerald Tower planning to ask for a crime?"

"That's not that serious." Thorne nodded irrefutably, and said:

"After all, when the two of us just arrived in Shuangta Town, we were inexplicably attacked by men in black, which even caused my friend to almost lose his life. But what you did was to arrest the two of us indiscriminately. , shouldn’t you let me say a few words.”

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Thorn. I've already heard about what offended you last night. The law enforcement team has also investigated the abuse of power to publicize personal revenge. I have punished them accordingly."

Alvie seemed to understand Thorne's meaning, slowly got up from the chair, bowed to him, and said sincerely: "I hope to get your understanding."

Seeing the sincerity of this female lord who usually stands tall in Twin Towers Town, Thorne's expression eased a lot.

Although there was a reason why the other party didn't know his true identity in the farce last night, their attitude towards Gilt was the reason why he really made a move.

As the town's law enforcement team, they don't even try to find out anything, just take people directly. This ugly face of public revenge is really hateful.

"Since that's the case, I won't pursue this matter any more. I'm not someone who likes to be fussy. I just hope it won't happen again." Thorne shook his head slightly.

He originally planned to ask the other party to help him find out about the man in black, but when he thought that the man in black had already used the portal to disappear in the Silver Pine Plain, he gave up.

The female lord Alvy looked relieved, and then sat back on the chair, put her elbows on the table between the two of them, rested her cheeks, and watched Thorn quietly, and suddenly sighed, looking pitiful. look like:
"Thank you very much for Mr. Thorn's tolerance, I hope you can understand, as a weak woman with low strength, she still has to manage the entire town, and she has to face many things around her..."

"Stop!" Thorn, who couldn't bear to hear it anymore, reached out and interrupted Alvi's misery, and said with an unmoved expression:
"You don't have to moan in front of me, and don't say you are so pitiful. You have to understand that all of our compatriots living here have been injured and shed tears, and it doesn't mean that you are more painful than others. But you seem to express it more brilliantly, but I regret to tell you that no matter how wonderful your performance is, you will not win my sympathy, so just speak up if you have anything to say, and don’t beat around the bush here.”

As soon as the words fell, Gilt, the bard on the side, secretly gave Thorne a thumbs up for the indifferent look.

"Let's talk first, I'm going out for a while." Then, the poet made an excuse and left the room.

The meditating female wizard couldn't help but take a few extra glances at the ranger from Fallstown.

Only the female lord at the side looked embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

However, it quickly returned to normal.

She took a deep breath, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Thorne likes to go straight, I won't go around. The purpose of inviting you this time is to hope that Shuangta Town will cooperate with Pushang Town."

"Cooperation?" Thorn's eyes flickered, looking at the calm female lord, frowning and wondering: "I think you should go to Carlos, the lord of Fallstown Town, for this matter, why did you find me?"

Although he also has his own small power, he never asks about these matters, and usually the old troll butler takes care of them alone.

As for Waterfall Town, it is dominated by the lower urban area. As long as they pay tribute to the Emerald Tower on time every month to obtain shelter and support, they can completely dominate the rules and regulations of the entire town.

So Thorne believes that even if it is cooperation, it is most appropriate to find Carlos.

"Then I'll tell the truth." Alvy seemed to see through Thorne's dislike of detours, so she said truthfully: "Actually, half a year ago, I did talk to Lord Carlos about the cooperation between the two towns .”

"Then why?" Thorne guessed curiously, "Is it because we didn't agree?"

"That's right." Alvy nodded, and said in a tactful tone: "As for Carlos, I think you should be very clear that I cannot accept the conditions he proposed."

"I see." Thorn pondered for a moment, looked at Alvy, and said slowly, "Then, tell me what you need."

He already guessed in his mind what Twin Towers Town needed, and he also understood why the other party did not reach a cooperation agreement with Carlos.

The reason why I ask this is just to use this buffer time to carefully consider whether this cooperation is beneficial to me.

Asked so bluntly by the other party, Alvie was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, she rested her hand on her forehead and pondered for a moment, then turned to Thorn and asked, "I think you should be very clear about the location of Twin Towers Town."

"Of course it is clear." Thorne nodded without thinking too much.

Twin Towers Town is a border town of the Huskan Kingdom. To the north is the once giant’s homeland, the Wild Skull Mountains. To the south is the Shadowmoon Inner Sea and a part of the Black Pearl Forest. The Sunset Fishing Village is located nearby, and the West is the Forest of Tranquility. .

"Although this border town occupies such a large territory, the place I can really control is actually the whole town." Alvy looked at Thorne, smiled slightly, and said bluntly:

"Besides, you should know better than anyone else how I obtained my lord status. Naturally, there are many foreign forces with close relatives of the baron who don't want me to take charge of this territory."

"So, what you mean is that you want asylum." Thorne said the other party's thoughts.

"That's right, after all, I'm a weak woman in charge of such a large territory, and I've managed it pretty well. In addition, the surrounding threats have been cleaned up by you, so many people are greedy and want to pull me down. .”

Alvie glanced at the female wizard Cecil beside her, and continued, "If it wasn't for the fact that Cecil and I were taken in three years ago, I'm afraid I would have died in an assassination long ago."

Then, the female lord took a deep breath and said tentatively: "If Mr. Thorne's wizard tower is willing to shelter me, I can provide the wizard tower with development resources on time like the lower town of Fallstown."

After listening to Alvi's words, Thorne finally understood what the other party really wanted.

Obviously, this female lord is like a kitten with a dragon's heart, possessing ambition but not the power to control it.

And the reason why she couldn't reach a cooperation with Carlos was that Carlos took the opportunity to ask her to intervene in the management of Twin Towers Town's affairs.

On this point, for an ambitious woman, she naturally doesn't want to see outsiders get involved in her territory.

So after finding out that he came to Shuangta Town and thinking of the delicate relationship between the upper and lower towns of Pushang Town, he chose to seek cooperation with him.

Facts have proved that Thorne thinks that the other party's cooperation with him is indeed a good choice.

Because what he lacks most now is combat power and high-end strength.As long as he wants, even the people of Horn Town and the priests of the Temple of Wisdom can be at his disposal.

In fact, what he lacks most now is the resources to develop the bottomless pit of wizard tower.

After all, he owns the wizard tower, an extremely important strategic fortress. Wherever support is needed, as long as the portal is opened, the reorganized golem troops and high-end forces will all be dispatched to support allies at any time. It is not too convenient.

"That's no problem, I can agree." Thorne thought for a while, pondered again, and said, "But I have one condition."

Hearing that Thorne wanted to make a condition, Alvie couldn't help but feel tense, so she tentatively asked in a slightly weaker tone: "I don't know... what condition does Mr. Thorne want to raise?"

"Don't be nervous, the conditions I mentioned are very beneficial to both of us." Seeing the worry of the other party, Thorne thought it was a bit funny, so he gave her a reassuring look, and expressed his thoughts: "I plan to build a temple of wisdom in Shuangta Town."

Build a temple of wisdom?

The female lord Alvy was stunned, and quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

So he reached out and stroked the non-existent hair on his forehead, smiled and nodded in agreement:
"No problem. In order to show the sincerity of our cooperation, Shuangta Town is willing to take the initiative to bear half of the cost of building the temple."

The establishment of the Temple of Wisdom is undoubtedly tantamount to completely binding Twin Towers Town with the wizard tower and temple forces in the Emerald Field.

Most importantly, the Twin Towers Town with the temple will also bring a lot of convenience to the residents and migrants in the town.

She can also take this opportunity to train priests and wizards in the temple to develop her power.

If Shuangta Town is threatened, because of the temple, they will definitely do their best to help them repel the outsiders.

In any case, this is a very beneficial thing for me.

"Since you have nodded and agreed, the specific details will be discussed with you by the person in charge of this matter."

Thorne took out a magic talisman representing the Wizard Tower from the dimension bag and handed it to her, "One thing, I can assure you that we will not go to any of the affairs of Twin Towers Town."

"Then wish us a happy cooperation." The female lord Alvy stood up with a smile on her face, and extended her right hand to Thorne.

"Happy cooperation." Thorn got up and reached out to shake his hand, and was about to let go, but felt that the opponent's palm was obviously exerting a little force, as if hinting at something.

However, he didn't care and didn't bother to think about it, and sat back on the chair directly.

Afterwards, he looked at Alvy and the female wizard Cecil who had been silent all this time, and told his real purpose of coming here: "Now you can tell me about the small village and Winster."
