As soon as Qi Lin walked in, the walnut door was closed behind him.

This is a huge room with a size of more than one hundred square meters. There are several long tables on which are piled up some old paper books. A warm fire in the corner disperses the basement. In the cold and humid.

A tall and thin figure was sitting on a chair by the fire. Hearing the movement, he got up and turned around.

This is a man with a cold expression, with orchid fingers in his left hand, his long nails occasionally gently scraping his pointed jaw, and he is wearing a vintage dress from the old era, but no matter how much the clothes are washed Clean, it still can't hide some obvious crumbing marks on the fabric fibers of the neckline and cuffs.

The ID on this man's head is "Bryce", not the ID "Thunder" of the legendary Thunder City Lord.

Is it a trap?However, Qi Lin immediately rejected this idea. If this dragon sees the city’s head and tail is not good to him, he doesn’t have to spend so much effort to fool himself here. It’s just the six that stood on the fortress outside. A tube-mounted cannon is enough to tear Qi Lin into pieces.

"Who are you? Don't you say that Thunder City mainly sees me?" Qi Lin saw this sissy Bryce turned around, and asked immediately.

"Tsk tusk tusk, don’t the guys from the low-level residential areas know what etiquette is? I’m one of the twelve stewards of Lord Chancellor. Lord Chancellor is not someone you can meet if you want to meet. It's good to have a clear judgment on his status." Bryce glanced at Qi Lin, and said in a tone of anger, disgust, and disgust.

"I also trouble you to figure it out. The city lord invited me here. If there is nothing wrong, then I will leave!" For this kind of guy who likes to pretend and have upturned nostrils, Qi Lin naturally doesn't bother to give him a good face. Look.

"Things that have no education! I will tell the city lord that the subordinates are always inferior. Unfortunately, the city lord still intends to give you a chance. Now there is still a vacancy for a guard captain in Thunder City. If you can get rid of your stinky mouth Maybe I will show compassion for you to stay."

"Captain of the guard?" Qi Lin understood it, dare to feel that this was because he wanted to "recruit security" because of his combat power?It's just that he didn't have the idea of ​​joining a big organization. He was controlled by others and he didn't plan to play the role of working for others. What's more, the sissy in front of him felt that it was a kind of charity to be a guard.

"I have no interest."

"Not interested? Do you know what you are talking about? The right to live in the rich area, the abundance of supplies...that so many people can't get in their dreams..." Bryce seemed to be stepped on his tail, angrily Said, "Don't think that you can kill the Los Angeles Wind. In the eyes of Lord City Lord, Los Angeles Wind is just a jumping clown!"

"Oh, so what?"

"I don't know how high the sky is! Believe it or not, as long as you get out of this bunker, you will be surrounded and killed immediately. Although the 30,000 resource points are only a small amount, we don't mind taking the money!"

"If you are willing to exchange 30,000 points for the reputation of your Lord City Lord, then I am not wronged, am I?" If Qi Lin was a little angry at first, then now, he is only left wondering. A guy who looks like a silly X, how could he be chosen as a steward by the Lord of Thunder?

A big person like that, maybe not a good person, but definitely not an idiot.

This kind of person does not know how strong his ability to do things, but his ability to do things is absolutely top-notch. How can such a person recruit a strong foreigner, unless the other party’s servility is deeply rooted, even if he is willing to stay. Yes, he will definitely not be faithful to give his life to Thunder City.

"you--!"

"Okay, Bryce, go down.

Qi Lin was startled in a cold sweat, and only now did he notice that there was a third person in this room besides Bryce and himself.

The person had been sitting in the shadow of the room, but with Qi Lin's perception, he knew that he hadn't noticed the other party's existence while he was speaking!

"Yes, Lord City Lord." Bryce, whose words were interrupted, did not get angry, but bowed to the shadows with great respect, and then retreated.

"My Lord City Lord?... So, you are Thunder?" Qi Lin looked into the shadows, and he found that only when he concentrated 12 points of attention could he barely see a fuzzy human figure in the shadows. Silhouette, sitting on a luxurious sofa.

Invisibility cloak?Or what optical camouflage device?

Or is it true that the other party is not in the room at all, but is talking to him remotely through what technological means, all of this is pretending to be mysterious?

"Yes, young people have backbone, courage and good brains." A voice of appreciation came from the shadow.

"In that case, all this was just a temptation?"

Qi Lin understood a little bit. If he had been humiliated by Bryce just now and agreed to the other party’s terms, even if he stayed in Thunder City, he would probably not be valued. In the eyes of this city lord, he might be at best. It's just a skilled worker.

"If you think it's a temptation, it's a temptation--but Bryce's words are correct. As long as you agree to stay, I can give you permanent residency in the rich realm.

The right of permanent residence in the rich area, if these eight characters are lost in the slum area or any place in the middle area, countless people will have to rob their heads, and Qi Lin's breathing will become a little bit when the other person says this. It became heavy.

But reason still made his mind extremely clear, and he asked: "Then staying, does it mean that my life is sold to you?"

"Your life is very valuable, far more valuable than those 30,000 resource points. I won't let you die easily." Lei Ting replied.

"Don't let me die easily...that is, when the benefit is higher than my value, I will still be used as a bargaining chip, or a pawn that can be sacrificed, right?"

"..."

Thunder was silent for a while, and then said: "You are indeed very smart, but, young man, I want to tell you that everyone's life has a price, including mine, the same."

"Then can I refuse?"

"can."

...

When Qi Lin came out of that room, he found that Bryce was still waiting outside, but this time, he didn't say anything harsh.

"You refused?"

"Refused."

"Tsk--" Bryce gave Qi Lin a somewhat complicated look, then stopped talking, then shook his head and called a guard, "Send him back to the ground."

It’s not that Qi Lin didn’t think about agreeing. He knew that Thunder’s energy is great, perhaps the kind of super boss who can change the rules of the refuge. If he agrees, the benefit is by no means just a permanent residence in a wealthy area, but He still chose to refuse.

Someone once said to him something similar to Thunder: "In the eyes of others, every mercenary's life is clearly marked."

It's just this sentence, and the second half.

"Only in your own heart, or in the eyes of someone you can trust, your life is priceless."
