Chapter 196: Chapter 124: Dare to Say ’I Am the Grand Scheme’!

The next morning, as everyone was packing up to set out, Wilderness Knight Balin came strolling over like a street urchin, hands empty and with a certain mocking look in his eyes.

Lan Siter watched the man and felt a bit disdainful inside. As a knight, his lack of decorum was unbecoming. You might be poor and scruffy, but his attitude was something that Lan Siter found particularly grating.

"What are you doing here again?" Lan Siter asked warily. The man was strong, and although Lan Siter looked down on him, he did not underestimate him; instead, he was very cautious.

"Don’t be so tense, I just came to see if you need a hand. My strength is fairly decent. You won’t find another knight of the same value at this price~" Balin said with a touch of frivolity.

Little White lifted its head, responding with a robust voice, "Yo?"

"Little White is asking you why you had to add a ’yo’ while eating mud-roasted bread in the tavern," Gu Shanhai kindly translated for Balin.

"..."×31

This comment made Balin feel awkward. Who could imagine that a simple onomatopoeia could have such a bizarre translation in the language of a deer?

"Alright, our team isn’t looking for more people. You can go wherever you’re supposed to, we’re about to leave." Seeing Balin’s embarrassment, Gu Shanhai seized the opportunity to send him away, to avoid any further complications.

"Cough, then I’m prepared to challenge your strongest member!" Balin switched tactics.

Watching this, Gu Shanhai decisively stepped back with Little White, leaving Balin with a black line on his forehead.

Lan Siter, however, stepped forward with displeasure in his expression. There was definitely something wrong; just slaughter him.

"Wait, isn’t he the strongest member of your team?" Balin was shocked. Were Druids so shameless these days?

Gu Shanhai smiled slightly from behind and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it’s me, but I refuse to act."

In fact, Gu Shanhai was also a bit surprised. Balin’s perception was quite good. The man might not have been able to detect how strong Gu Shanhai was, but he could sense that Gu Shanhai was the strongest.

"You!" Lan Siter saw Balin pointing at Gu Shanhai and felt an anger rising in his chest. This was a provocation; in his eyes Gu Shanhai was clearly the weakest, and yet this man dared to pick the weakest to fight.

"Ah, if that’s what you’re saying, I give up; you win," Gu Shanhai spread his hands to show his weakness. But secretly, he used telepathy to tell everyone present that this guy was just here to cause trouble, and there was no need to talk about morality; just take him down in one fell swoop.

Lan Siter hesitated. Gu Shanhai’s method didn’t really align with the knight’s code. Then Gu Shanhai indicated again that the opponent had already broken the knight’s code by challenging the weakest him, twisting right and wrong, so just attack directly.

This action was approved by the Wizards. The Druids thought about it and felt what Gu Shanhai said made sense. Ultimately, even the knights decided to join the fray.

So, amidst Balin’s face of sheer disbelief, he was pinned to the ground by thirty people and tied up.

He complained that these people were too much.

"Lan Siter, what do you plan to do with Balin?" Gu Shanhai asked, implying they might as well chop off his head and bury him right there. A character in the plot? A legendary hero? Worthless; once dead, he’d just be a handful of dust. No special treatment needed.

Lan Siter clearly did not grasp Gu Shanhai’s implication. Instead, he said in all seriousness, "When we reach the town ahead, I’ll entrust the Sheriff to take him to the Royal Capital, where he can serve his Majesty."

In Lan Siter’s eyes, the man was a talent. His personality was indeed problematic, but there were many tough individuals in the Royal Capital who could possibly reform him.

They were not ordinary people but real conquerors of the whole world, and they revered talent as part of their integrity.

"Fine then. You don’t mind if I collect some loot, do you?" Gu Shanhai felt it was a pity—he had hoped for an easy execution—but he wasn’t quite ready to let the man go without getting something out of it.

Balin, firmly tied, struggled and whimpered, seemingly trying to say something, but no one paid any attention. Gu Shanhai rummaged through him but found nothing of value.

"Is it that obvious you’re poor?" Gu Shanhai felt somewhat speechless.

"Wait, wait, I was sent by Lady Morgan..." Balin finally managed to speak after struggling free of the gag on his mouth.

"???" Gu Shanhai was puzzled and asked directly, "Sent by her to do what?"

"She wants to know what the person who rejected her alliance proposal looks like, and if possible, to kidnap you and take you back," Balin confessed honestly, definitely not because he felt chills when Gu Shanhai was searching him.

"Hiss—how terrifying!" Gu Shanhai gasped. He was about to say that this man must be eliminated when he thought better of it. Morgan didn’t have that privilege, although if it were Atilis, it might be different.

Lan Siter narrowed his eyes, his expression changing slightly. This was trouble, as he was in charge of security. Morgan was daring to make a move, which was like slapping him in the face.

"I’ll write a letter to his Majesty, to Merlin and others." Gu Shanhai’s plan was straightforward. He had no desire to play games of power with Morgan, so he would just tattle on her to cut her off at the source.

Atilis could tolerate Morgan’s shenanigans, but if they implicated the Camelot Kingdom, she didn’t have much leeway to act on her whims.
