Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 30 Conversation
Zhao Xi stopped what he was doing, looked at the girl who was running towards him, and asked, "What's going on?" Miss Erin. ”
"I'm really sorry to bother you early in the morning. Erin gasped a little and said, "But grandpa seems to have received a message and asked me to bring you over." “
"That's it!" Zhao Xi nodded and said, "It's nothing, you just take me over." ’
"Okay, please come with me. After Erin finished speaking, she led the way directly in front.
Zhao Xi waved his hand at Vic, put away his long sword and followed Erin to Taylor's residence.
......
Taylor waved his hand to the kobold to step down, and when he was left alone in the room, he rubbed his temples and let out a sigh.
After a while, Taylor heard hurried footsteps, and looked up to see that it was his granddaughter who had come to the door with his guest, Don.
Seeing this, Taylor smiled and greeted him.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Donn, for waking you up so early. Taylor laughs.
"It's nothing, I believe that there must be something big in your hurry, a big thing is important, a big thing is important. Zhao Xi also said with a smile.
"You've guessed it. Taylor smiled wryly, "I received a piece of bad news today. “
"The ogre is coming?" Zhao Xi asked, sitting up straight.
"It's worse than that, and it's the worst news. Taylor's smile was already put away, and he said with a serious face, "My people have received word that the ogre tribe has accepted the surrender of some of the lizardmen. ”
"Hmm? What's going on. Zhao Xi was interested when he heard this, after all, the information Zhao Xi had showed that ogres would only accept people of the same clan, and they would treat other outsiders according to food, not to mention taking refuge, it would be good if they didn't fight you to the death.
"It should be said that the nobleman in the town did a good deed. Taylor explained: "Recently, the viscount slaughtered the surrounding tribes, although I don't know why, but the goblin tribe has been completely wiped out, the gnolls tribe has also suffered a poisonous hand, the lizardman tribe is better, and some of the tribesmen have escaped with the delay of the terrain and the shamans in the clan. ”
"Is it this part of the lizardmen who have taken refuge in ogres?" Zhao Xi asked.
"That's right, it's these lizardmen, I don't know what agreement they made privately, and the shaman of the ogre tribe has learned that not all foreigners are food. Taylor rubbed his temples and said, "Anyway, the worst is what happens, originally the strength of us and the ogre tribe is between five and five, and such a group of lizardmen join, the result is hard to say." ”
"Mr. Taylor, what do you mean?" Zhao Xi asked when he heard some meaning here.
"I hope that Mr. Donn can come back to town and buy some weapons for us, the more the better, and we will settle this matter ourselves, and we will also pay Mr. Donn richly. Taylor laughs.
"Vic told me about it yesterday, and I can promise, but I can't guarantee how much I can bring back, after all, the town is under the management of Viscount Sifa. Zhao Xi said.
"Of course, an extra weapon adds strength, and I'm going to talk to the ogre tribe tomorrow to see what they need. Taylor said.
"Since the difference in strength is so big, why don't you move elsewhere?" Zhao Xi made a suggestion.
"It's not an easy task, Mr. Donn. Taylor smiled and explained to Zhao Xi: "First of all, there are a lot of things in our tribe that cannot be moved in a short time, these things are more important than our lives, and if we take the old and weak women and children on the road, sooner or later we will be caught up by them." ”
"Do you have to fight?" Zhao Xi asked.
"Yesterday there may have been some hope, but today this situation seems impossible, the surrounding big tribes are dying, miserable, only us and the ogre tribe are left, according to the recent performance of the ogre, for the desire for food, it is estimated that all creatures are their hunting targets. Taylor paused and said, "Including us and the town you're in." “
Zhao Xi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, after all, it would be easy to say if he was alone, but Cornelia was seriously injured and had not recovered, Dorothy and Old John were ordinary people, even if he escaped with them, he would probably be caught up, and Cornelia's situation was not suitable for long-distance travel at all.
And if the guardian force of the town is all according to the standard of Yakos, the defeat of the town is also expected, although I don't know what method Viscount Xifa used to quickly destroy several tribes, but you can't pin your hopes on others, in case someone runs away, you and others are not dumbfounded.
So what I should do is to fight the ogre tribe with the kobolds, delay for some time, at least wait for Cornelia to heal, let them leave first, and then follow me, after all, it is still easy to leave if you want to go alone, and the large battlefield is also a good place to harvest experience, maybe you can rise several levels in a row and embark on the path of transcendence in one fell swoop, then everything is easy to say.
Speaking of leveling up, based on his experience playing games and reading novels for many years, Zhao Xi felt that such an abnormal behavior of the ogre tribe must be a big move, such as the shaman upgrade in his clan or something, if it really succeeds, it will definitely be a battlefield mission according to the urine nature in the game.
Coupled with the terrifying things hidden in Dawn Town, who knows what the hell will become here, you have to take the initiative in your own hands, and see the direction of the battlefield clearly, so that you can live better, if you really run around like a fool, it is estimated that you will die on the road before you run far.
And he will definitely not be able to run away by himself now, without Cornelia, they will be in the kobold tribe, and these people themselves can't see death without help, after all, Zhao Xi has no special concept of race, as long as someone treats him well, he can't see death without help, not to mention anything else, just rely on Vic's swear to promise his own things, Zhao Xi can't watch from the side and not do it.
"I see what you mean, Mr. Taylor. Zhao Xi took a deep breath and asked, "In addition to weapons, what else do you need, I can buy it and bring it for you." “
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but we don't need anything other than weapons. Taylor hesitated for a moment and said, "For other ordinary things, we still need some iron armor, but this is a limited edition item in the principality, and I don't think there will be one in the town." “
"Yes. Zhao Xi nodded in agreement and continued to ask: "Is it okay to use any weapon?" Weapons that are too short such as short swords and daggers are not a good choice to deal with ogres. “
"Of course, long swords and spears are better, and short swords and daggers can also be used, after all, they can be made into simple spears, and iron weapons are definitely much better than the stone weapons we polish ourselves. Taylor explained.
"If I can buy more than ten weapons, will it affect the outcome of the battle?" Zhao Xi continued.
"Yes, there must be, but it won't be that big, to be honest, even if all the clansmen have weapons at hand, I don't think the chance of winning will be more than thirty percent, after all, ogres and lizardmen are complementary in their fighting styles. Taylor said with a wry smile.
"Then why are you still ......" Zhao Xi waved Taylor to interrupt before he could finish speaking.
"Stall, Mr. Don, at least we have to delay with our lives until the rest of our people move to safety, and it is better to die some than to kill all. Taylor said, waving his hand.
"I see. Zhao Xi suddenly felt that something seemed to be stuffed into his heart, and in the past few days, Zhao Xi encountered this kind of scene in film and television works for the first time, after all, they were drinking and chatting together yesterday, and today they are going to talk about going to death, which makes Zhao Xi feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'll bring the weapon tomorrow, and I'll stay to help you. Zhao Xi thought for a while and said.
"Mr. Donn, you don't have to be like this. Taylor was a little surprised by Zhao Xi's words.
"It's my decision, Mr. Taylor, and it's as it should be for friends to help each other. Zhao Xi shook his head and said.
"I see. Taylor let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then please save your life, if the situation is not good, please retreat first, after all, this is our tribe's business." ”
"Don't worry too much about me, it's easy for me to leave on my own. Zhao Xi waved his hand and said.
"I'm serious, Mr. Donne. Taylor said with a straight face: "And I am also selfish, after all, even if the clan succeeds in reaching a safe place, life will be very difficult, I hope that for the sake of our friendship, you can help Erin this child." “
"Erin, this kid is too foscinous about fantasizing about unrealistic things, and I hope Mr. Don can mention him more, and if something happens to me, I hope you can take the position of patriarch of our clan. “
Seeing that Zhao Xi wanted to refuse, Taylor said that he would let him finish.
"I also believe in you, and the kobold is brave and loyal, and you are the best warrior in your own territory in the future, when the time comes, you just need to divide a forest of your own for us, this is a good thing for both you and me, you don't refuse. “
Taylor's words blocked the reason for Zhao Xi's refusal, after all, Zhao Xi calculated carefully, if there is really a day when he wants to develop his own power, the aimless conscription must not be as good as these kobolds who have received his favor, so Zhao Xi really has no way to shirk it.
But if you want to really get this kind of benefit, you really have to be a good dad before you find a good place in the new gathering place, after all, only when you receive actual help, people will die for you, instead of relying on the ethereal word patriarch.
