112. Former Barghest
"Brother-in-law, do you think KK will really take us in?"
Hearing his younger brother-in-law's worried words, one of the former Barghest representatives on this visit—the former Barghest squad captain himself—could not say for sure what would happen next.
"No matter what, KK said he'd take us in. If he wants to become Dogtown's new king, he'll need people, right? How did that saying go again? Better to send charcoal in water than add flowers to brocade. If we go over now, KK will surely give us some decent treatment for being the first group to join him."
As the former Barghest squad captain spoke, he added somewhat uncertainly, "No matter what, we'll at least be able to earn a meal. He'll need someone to guard the gate, won't he?"
Hearing his brother-in-law's words, the younger former Barghest's expression turned somewhat strange.
It was not because he was worried about his future or anything, but because—
"Brother-in-law, is there something wrong with the Chinese dialogue template you loaded? As far as I know, it should be 'sending charcoal in snow,' not 'sending charcoal in water,' right?"
"Will it kill you to say one less word?"
Giving his apparently always-too-talkative younger brother-in-law a look, the former Barghest squad captain quickly checked his dialogue template and found that there really was a problem, so he hurriedly corrected it.
KK's preferred language and speaking habits were no secret.
Even the lowest-ranking mercenaries understood that when discussing business, catering to the other party's preferences and using the language they were accustomed to could quickly close the distance. Much less someone like him, who had once guarded Dogtown's gates. That job required him to be observant and quick-witted.
Without those skills, he would never have qualified to be nominated by the other Barghest
