Chapter 105: I Am Just Robbing

“Correct!” Old Xie nodded and laughed, “It can be seen that I know who you are, and I also know that the guy next to you is the Night Owl of the Augustus Family. But do you know who I am?”

“This!” Piritz immediately smiled bitterly, “I must admit, I really don’t know!”

“Then that’s right!” Old Xie laughed, “Look, I know who you are, but you don’t know who I am. So which one of us is ignorant?”

Piritz was also interesting. Without hesitation, he immediately said with a wry smile, “I am the ignorant one!”

“Hehe!” Old Xie immediately laughed proudly, “Then tell me, you ignorant old guy, are you planning to resist fearlessly, or are you going to pay up obediently?”

The Old Dwarf Piritz carefully looked at Old Xie a few times, then said with a slight helplessness, “Then okay, can you tell me first, how much money should I pay to be suitable?”

“It’s not expensive!” Old Xie immediately laughed, “Ten Gold Coins per person for the toll, and free rest places and enough fresh water are provided!”

“Damn, why don’t you go die!” Cass on the side heard this and immediately started cursing.

Others also shouted and cursed one after another. One had to know, these people ran a trip to the Kingdom of Dwarves, going through a lot of hardships, and the time was a full half a year. Their wages weren’t even ten Gold Coins. But Old Xie, with just one opening of his mouth, dared to ask for so much! It really infuriated them.

Although the crowd was extremely angry, the Old Dwarf did not express his position, but gradually fell into deep thought. Without his nod, although the others shouted fiercely, no one dared to make a move. Cass on the side had been unable to hold back for a long time, so he asked for instructions, “Master, we can’t be bullied by them like this! You give the order to attack!”

“Yes, give the order to attack!” Pablo on the side also followed and shouted. Others then also shouted one after another.

“No!” Piritz quietly shook his head and said, “Cass, think about it, the other party clearly knows our identities, but still dares to be so confident. What does this explain?”

“This~” Cass immediately fell into deep thought.

Piritz then continued, “This shows that either he is a lunatic looking for death, or he has a premeditated plan. Obviously, a lunatic would not build a Castle. So I dare to be sure that the reason this guy is so arrogant is definitely because he has full confidence to keep us here.”

“Correct!” Kukoc also nodded at this time, “He not only knows Master’s identity, but even called out my nickname. Obviously, he knows us very well. If he didn’t have full confidence, he wouldn’t be so rampant.”

“But, but are we really going to pay?” Pablo said very unconvinced.

“Then what can we do?” The Old Dwarf smiled bitterly, “Who told them to occupy the only water source here? If it weren’t for this, even if we were afraid of an ambush, we could completely go around!”

“This forest is so big, a full hundred miles in radius. Can’t we find other water sources?” Pablo asked puzzledly.

“Sigh!” Kukoc said helplessly, “The water source here is in the Castle. The water outside flows out from the fountain in the center of the square. As long as they poison it inside, the water outside will also be polluted. Moreover, judging from their performance, they obviously prepared to welcome us in advance. I’m afraid the water sources outside are no longer safe either. Unless he is an idiot, he wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.”

Sure enough, as soon as Kukoc finished speaking, Old Xie on the other side said impatiently, “I’m telling you, unless I allow it, you definitely won’t find a single bit of clean water source in the forest. If you don’t believe me, you can go and try!”

“Try then!” Pablo just didn’t believe it, and was about to send someone to check.

But Old Xie spoke again, “Okay, but I remind you, wasting my time is a heinous crime. So I decided that when you come back, the price will increase, and each person will be charged 20 Gold Coins for the toll! Alright, you can go and try now!”

“You~” Pablo heard this and was immediately so angry at Old Xie that he was almost smoking.

Just at this moment, one of Pablo’s subordinates saw his master humiliated and could no longer bear it. He urged his horse to jump out and cursed at Old Xie, “You damn Robber, if you have the guts, come out and fight with this uncle. Don’t hide inside like a sissy!”

For such a low-level minor character, Old Xie directly ignored him, just lightly waved his hand. Then, a whistling sound of wind was heard, followed by ten huge stone balls falling from the sky. Each of those stone balls had a diameter of nearly one meter and weighed several hundred catties. They were thrown down by ten Cyclops from the top of a building tens of meters high. The power was naturally amazing. Let alone a small Level 2 Warrior like him, even an expert like Kukoc would definitely not dare to take it head-on. So this idiot was directly smashed into meat paste along with his horse, and even sunk into the ground. The ground shook violently.

Seeing such power, everyone on the opposite side was startled. Kukoc, who looked up, couldn’t help exclaiming, “God, it’s the Cyclops!”

Until this time, Kukoc completely gave up. He originally planned to temporarily deal with them falsely and launch a surprise attack on Old Xie at night, but after seeing ten Cyclops, he no longer dared to think so. One had to know that the most terrible thing about Cyclops was their terrifying power when defending the city. The huge stone balls, with the addition of the City Wall height, not only became more powerful, but the throwing speed would also increase a lot. If throwing from flat ground to flat ground, a Cyclops might only be able to fire once every two or three seconds, but throwing down from the City Wall, they could just casually fling one every second or so.

Kukoc estimated that even if he launched a sneak attack, it would take one minute to break through the gate and attack in. This was enough for ten Cyclops to throw 600 stone balls. Even if they smashed with their eyes closed, his few hundred people would not be enough to watch. Moreover, Cyclops were not inferior to Level 4 Warriors even in close combat, and it was not known how many hidden trump cards were inside. No matter how he calculated, he didn’t have much chance of winning. So Kukoc quickly weighed the pros and cons and secretly decided to temporarily give up a head-on conflict with the other party. Anyway, he had plenty of time. As long as Old Xie was still here, he could always find a way to get back at him.

The appearance of ten Cyclops directly deterred these unruly guys, scaring them so much that they trembled with fear, so much so that they all involuntarily retreated slowly. Even the Dwarf Pangolin Knights, who had always been known as elites, were no exception.

The Old Dwarf Piritz was relatively calm. He frowned and stopped Cass from trying to persuade him to retreat. Then he smiled at Old Xie and said, “No wonder you are so confident. It turns out you have such a trump card in your hand!”

“Not bad!” Old Xie smiled and said, “Have you figured it out, old man?”

“Yes, I have figured it out!” Piritz said very readily, “I can pay the toll. However, young man, your fee seems a bit high. Can you give me some face as an old man and charge a little less?”

“Hehe!” Old Xie also appreciated the humor of the Old Dwarf and immediately said with a smile, “Alright, seeing as you are my first guest, I will waive half of your toll. I will only charge 5 Gold Coins per person. How about that? Am I being generous enough?”

“Generous, you are really generous!” Piritz said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Cass, give the money!”

“Really give it?” Cass immediately said with a bitter face.

“Nonsense!” The Old Dwarf rolled his eyes at him and said, “If you can’t beat them, you have to give in. For a small matter, knowing you are no match but still insisting on fighting, that is not a warrior, that is an idiot! Don’t you think the lives of the Pangolin Knights of our Kingdom of Dwarves are worth 5 Gold Coins?”

“No, no, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that them doing this is practically bullying us?” Cass said indignantly.

“They have the strength and the ability, so naturally they can bully us. What is there to say? The days ahead are long. Don’t you have the confidence to get back today’s humiliation one day in the future?” Piritz rolled his eyes at him and said.

“Ah!” Cass suddenly realized. Piritz was reminding him that a wise man submits to circumstances. Wait until they went back, then randomly mobilize some troops from the Kingdom to take care of the other party. There was no need to desperately fight over a mere 500 Gold Coins. Thinking of this, Cass hurriedly nodded and said, “I understand!”

After saying that, he immediately took out a bag of Gold Coins from the package behind his Mount and threw it with force. The bag drew a beautiful arc and smashed directly towards Old Xie’s face.

Of course, Old Xie could not be hit. He lightly stretched out his hand and caught the heavy money bag in his palm, his body not even swaying a bit. Seeing this scene, Piritz could not help but have his eyes light up as he exclaimed, “Good catch! I can’t tell, you kid are young, but your skills are not small!”

“Hehe, you flatter me!” Old Xie smiled and said, “In this day and age, if you don’t have some strength, how can you have the nerve to learn from others and rob people!”

“Haha!” Piritz could not help but laugh loudly and said, “So you finally admit you are robbing?”

“Hehe, anyway, it’s all the same!” Old Xie said indifferently. Then he said to Kukoch, “Hey, you Night Owl, it’s your turn, pay up!”
