Chapter 31: Refuse

　　 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. His left hand is still pointing with orchid fingers. His long nails lightly scrape his pointed chin from time to time. He is wearing a vintage dress from the old age, but no matter how much the clothes are washed Clean, still can not hide some obvious crumbing marks of the fabric fibers of the collar and cuffs.
　　 The ID on the top of 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 the dragon sees the head of the city without seeing the end, it is not good for him, and he does not have to spend so much effort to fool himself here. It is just the six on the fortress outside. The tube-mounted cannon was 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 out that 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 has upturned nostrils, Qi Lin naturally doesn't bother to give him a good face. Look.
"Things with no education! I will tell the city lord that the inferior people will always be 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, say Maybe I will show compassion for you to stay."
　　 "Captain of the guard?" Qi Lin understood it, dare to say that this was because of his own combat power and planned to "recruit security"? It's just that he didn't have the idea of ​​joining a big organization. He was restricted by others and didn't plan to do 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 am not interested."
"Not interested? Do you know what you are talking about? The residence rights in the rich area, abundant supplies... things 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 Los Angeles Wind. In the eyes of Lord City Lord, Los Angeles Wind is just a clown!"
　　 "Oh, what about that?"
　　 "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 number, 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 that Thunder City Lord?
　　 Like that kind of big person, maybe he won't be a good person, but he is definitely not a fool.
This kind of person does not know how strong his ability to do things, but the ability to do things is absolutely top-notch. How can such a person recruit a strong foreigner, unless the other party’s servility is deep into his bones, even if he is willing to stay. Yes, he would never be faithful to give his life to Thunder City.
"you--!"
　　 "Okay, Bryce, you go down." Bryce's voice became sharper, and he seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden low male voice.
　　 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.
　　 That person has been sitting in the shadow of the room, but with Qi Lin's perception, he knew that while he was speaking, he hadn't noticed the existence of the other party!
　　 "Yes, Lord City Lord." Bryce, whose words were interrupted, did not get angry, but bowed very respectfully into the shadows, 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.
　　 Invisible Cloak? Or what optical camouflage device?
　　 Or to say that the other party is not in the room at all, but is talking to him remotely through what technological means. All this is pretending to be mysterious?
　　 "Yes, young people have backbone, courage, and good brains." A voice of appreciation came from the shadow.
　　 "So, all of this was a temptation just now?"
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 anymore. In the eyes of this city lord, he might be at best. It's just a skilled worker.
　　 "If you think it is a temptation, it is a temptation-but Bryce's words are correct. As long as you agree to stay, I can give you permanent residence in the rich realm."
The right of permanent residence in the rich area. If these eight characters are lost in a slum area or any place in the middle area, countless people will have their heads robbed. Qi Lin's breathing will become a little bit when the other person says this. It became heavy~EbookFREE.me~ but his 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." Thunder 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 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?"
　　 "Yes."
　　……
　　 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."
　　 "Hey--" Bryce glanced at Qi Lin somewhat complicatedly, then stopped talking, then shook his head and called a guard, "Send him back to the ground."
It’s not that Qi Lin never thought of agreeing. He knew that Thunder’s energy is great, perhaps the kind of super boss who can change the rules of the refuge. If you agree, the benefits are 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."
　　 is 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."
