Chapter 518 Wild Boar Mercenaries (1)
Since this issue had been settled for most of them, there was no need for me to say anything to the rest of them.
Instead, I walked over to the bald man and said, "How about we have a private conversation?"
The bald man was surprised to see me come up to him like this, but he slowly gave a nod of agreement.
The red haired girl helped him up and we walked out of this central tent. We went over to another tent which was my private tent.
After entering, I gestured for them to sit down before heading over to the stove.
This stove was a magic item that Haley had given me and it was a very convenient item. Instead of having to light a fire every time to cook something, I could just use the magic stones that she gave me to use this magic stove to cook with.
I put a pot of water on the stove and let it boil while taking out some cups and tea. I just silently prepared the tea without looking back at my two guests sitting there.
Only after I finished making this tea did I bring it over and sit down in front of them.
I could see that they were more anxious after seeing me just boil tea like this, but I didn't care at all as I poured the tea for them and put the cups in front of them.
This was all done on purpose.
I had no idea what had displeased this bald man, but it was never a bad idea to make him unsettled in this situation. It would make it easier for him to let his guard down, giving me the upper hand in these negotiations.
After I put the cup in front of them, I gestured for them to take a sip before taking my own cup to take a sip of the tea.
Neither of them took the cup as they just looked at me with the same strange look.
But I didn't mind them as I slowly sipped my tea.
Only after I had finished drinking the tea did I put the cup down and say in a calm voice, "What's wrong?"
The bald man was surprised to hear me ask him this directly, but he quickly revealed a serious expression and said, "Your lordship, there is something that I wish to discuss with you."
This time, it was my turn to be surprised.
I had never expected him to show this kind of respect.
Gunther was caught off guard by my question, but he didn't say anything.
He didn't even turn to look at Cindy since he knew that this would just affect her decision.
Cindy looked at me when I asked this question before looking back at Gunther and then back at me. Only after all of this did she slowly give a nod.
She didn't say anything, but that nod was more than enough to give an answer.
At the very least, it seemed that the members of this Wild Boar Mercenary Group trusted their leader quite a bit.
But there were still doubts that I had about this.
After getting this confirmation from Cindy, I turned back to look at Gunther without saying a word.
I narrowed my eyes as if I was sizing him up.
Gunther couldn't help flinching at first when he saw me look at him like this, but then he turned to face my gaze head on without any fear.
I couldn't help feeling a bit of praise for him when I saw him face me like this.
At the very least, this was a man that had the courage to stand by his decisions.
Still, there was a part of me that couldn't understand why he was doing this.
Since I couldn't understand, there was no reason trying to force out an understanding.
I looked at Gunther and simply asked, "Why?"
Gunther was surprised to hear this, but that didn't mean that he didn't understand what I was talking about.
He looked at me with a cautious look before asking, "May I ask something before giving my answer?"
I was caught off guard by this, but I gave a nod of agreement.
"The weapons that your knights used, were they provided by your lordship?"
