Chapter 43: Madness
"Stop it all!" Cui Beiqian opened her arms and stopped in front of Liu Zhenzhen and Vieri.
"Don't get in my way, Mentor." Liu Zhen spit out the cigar in his mouth, and the last puff of the cigarette was stuffed in his stomach.
"Witch Doctor! Monk! Helen shouted nervously.
The old deerhead on the bank of the river clutched his belly in pain, lying on the ground and groaning. Although the kidney capsule was removed, the old deer-headed man did not die on the spot. The human mercenary obviously wanted to make him suffer more pain, and avoided the aorta when he went under the knife, and his technique was so skillful, it seemed that he usually did similar things.
A couple of Green Mantis monks and the witch doctor Nostradamus, who were also in the bamboo forest, came with the militia, and when they heard the call of the proprietress, they quickly trotted over to treat the poor deer-headed man's injuries.
"My lord! Please, get out of the way! Vieri's words were tinged with a trill.
"No messing around!" Cui Beiqian pointed to the tip of Liu's shocking nose and said coquettishly.
"Vieri, are you still so brainless?" The beauty snake mentor's gaze turned to the bear man again.
"Wait a minute, my lord!" The bear man grabbed Liu Zhenzhen and was about to pull away the mentor's arm.
The bear man can be regarded as having been in the officialdom for a while, and now his brain is blown by the cold wind, and he is scolded by the sacrifice he used to follow, and he suddenly sobers up a lot.
Beamon sometimes thinks about things like this, and when he gets excited, he can forget everything, but as soon as he is a little sober, he will remember the cause and effect.
If you really want to clash with these human businessmen with upper-class backgrounds, let alone a small baron like Lord Richard, even the earl Cui Beiqian will not be hit.
Just now, he also watched his Bil vassals being brutally killed and humiliated by humans, and his brain was hot for a while.
Since those deerhead slaves belonged to human beings, their life and death were all decided by the slave owners.
What's more, the group of human merchants who bought slaves were accompanied by officers from the Beamon troops in the Northeast Province, and the relationship between these human slave owners and the Governor was obviously not something that a small Emerald Lord could contend with.
"I'll go by myself!" Vieri said firmly.
"What's wrong with you? Victor fool? Liu Zhenzhen looked at his bear-man followers strangely.
"My lord, if you catch up and fight with humans, it will be difficult to end." Vieri the Bear looked at the lord with a little embarrassment, he was reluctant to let the adults he followed be burdened with the black cauldron because of his impulsiveness.
"I knew it was going to be difficult, so I didn't plan to end it at all." Liu Zhenzhen smiled.
"You mean"
"If you go along, you'll know it all." Liu Zhenzhen said coldly.
The panda warriors next to him nodded in tacit understanding, and showed their demon hunting triangular guns.
"Ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't." Goode stuffed the half-eaten bamboo into his arms.
"None of you are allowed to go! Listen to me, Richard" Cui Beiqian was anxious and grabbed Liu Zhenzhen's arm.
"You have slaves yourself, what are bear goblins and ogres in your eyes? Will you offend the Governor of the Northeast because of such a slave? The beautiful snake looked at Liu Zhenzhen, who looked impatient, and asked.
"No, it won't."
"These Dir people are as tall in the eyes of some of our Bimon nobles as you are to these bears, goblins, and ogres! These slaves are the reward for helping us open five weapons workshops by the Dolot Sherpa Merchant Order! Cui Beiqian was anxious.
"I understand what you're saying, but I don't want to hear it right now." Liu Zhenzhen said: "I only know that Vieri handed over his people to the Northeast Noble House and dedicated everything to the God of War, but it does not mean that he agrees to use the freedom of his vassal people as the price, understand?" If that's the case, I'd rather have Vieri give up this guardian knight's identity! ”
"In Bimon, it is forbidden for a commoner to be reduced to slavery if he has not committed a crime. But this deer head people are different, they are born slaves. Cui Beiqian hurriedly explained.
"Born slaves? Beamon still has a permanent slave clan? Liu Zhenzhen looked at the bear man Vieri, since he was a vassal of the Pier clan, he should know best.
"They are the musk-headed people of the Dir tribe." Vieri nodded, "It's a slave forever." ”
"Musk-headed? Like the giraffe people, it's a branch of the Dir tribe, right? And the idea of a slave forever? Why?? ”
"Yes." "At the time of the Battle of Hyjal, we had a glorious wing of the Beamonhouse Centaur Marksmen, the Dir Musk Marksmen. The musk people were born with the word "shoot" in their names, and they, like the elves, were born to be the best marksmen. Just as the hippo poets were born with artistic cells, most of the most outstanding "Divine Arrows Zheqin" in the whole Bimon came from the Musk Archer United. ”
"Why did this glorious army become a lowly slave?" Liu Zhenzhen looked at the old musk man who was being rescued, and frowned.
That's a long way to say. At the end of the Battle of Hyjal, our Beamon Kingdom dispatched the most elite archers to form a formation, and ambushed in the mountains and forests of the Thunder Mountains, preparing to sneak attack the most powerful and terrifying mage troops of mankind passing by.
"Why did this sneak attack fail?" Liu Zhenzhen didn't need to ask to know the result.
"The musk archers made a fatal mistake, they exposed our formation of archers who were ambushed on the Thunder Mountains, and a human fire archmage used only one "Thunder and Fire Sky" to burn down the entire forest of the Thunder Mountains, and the burning fire wiped out all of Beamon's elite archers. This result directly led to the later aerial battle in Tennessee, under the sniping of human crossbowmen and elven mercenaries, under the siege of dragon knights and griffin cavalry, the whole army was wiped out! Vieri sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Every adult male of the musk people has incense glands on their bodies, and when they are excited, this fragrance will spread and endure for a long time. We are used to smelling this kind of smell, and we don't think about it, but there were as many as a thousand musk archers ambushed in the Thunder Mountains that day, and the accumulated fragrance was too obvious for human magicians to detect, causing the magicians to sweep away our elite sharpshooters with terrible long-range magic, so that in the later war, Beamon could only rely on the Doug Pitcher as the main long-range support firepower. Cui Beiqian also sighed.
"Why is there no description of this battle in the Code of Sacrifices? This is actually a mistake in high-level decision-making, and if you want to blame it, you can blame the strategic commander at that time, how can you blame the musk people? Isn't the musk smell of musk people new to that time? Liu Zhen was furious.
"How is it possible to record these things in the Code of Sacrifices? After the Battle of Hyjal, Beamon suffered heavy losses, someone had to take responsibility, right? At that time, it was King Beamon who was in charge of high-level decision-making of the entire campaign, so he couldn't let the king take this responsibility, right? So the unlucky one is the musk people. Cui Beiqian said quietly: "Since then, the musk people have been reduced to slaves, and the Kingdom Elders' House has even deprived them of the right to use bows and arrows again. ”
"Is this called politics?" Liu Zhenzhen sneered.
"These male musk men have also been the preferred target of slave traders for nearly 100 years because of their scent glands." Cui Beiqian avoided the sensitive topic asked by Liu Zhenzhen: "The favorite Beamon male slave of human slave traders is the musk people. ”
"Why?" Liu Zhenzhen narrowed his eyes: "Because of the incense glands? ”
"Yes, after they buy musk slaves and return to the human kingdom, they will take out the incense glands from their bodies and use them to make perfumes, which together with the incense of the Far East continent and the dragon incense of the Chesang continent in the south, are called the three great strange fragrances of the world. The perfume made of musk is called "Karanti poem", which is said to have an aphrodisiac effect, can provoke the spring love of the coldest woman, and can be worth a thousand gold in the human country, and is the favorite ornament of the upper class nobles. Cui Beiqian's face became more and more ugly the more she spoke.
"Human beings also have an auction ceremony for making perfumes, just like our gladiatorial arena, where you can buy tickets to enter, "enjoy" a fresh sachet on the spot, take it out of the body of the musk man, and then make it into perfume on the spot, and buy it by the human nobles. Vieri wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and choked up.
"I just watched my fellow citizens being trafficked to the human kingdom and being stabbed?" Liu Zhen sneered vigorously.
"Slavery is a policy made by the House of Elders thousands of years ago, and the king and the temple have no right to interfere at all. Over the years, our nobles have become accustomed to this practice, just like your bear goblin slaves, the emaciated musk people really have no value, and in recent years, more and more bankrupt little nobles among the Pier nobles have sold their musk men to human traffickers. Cui Beiqian's tone was a little astringent.
"Then let me intervene!" Liu Zhenzhen had goosebumps all over his body, "All the militia, follow me!" ”
"Good!" The militiamen were also enthusiastic when they heard this story, and the bravery and enthusiasm of the men made their blood run high all over their bodies.
"Cavalry! Rattan armor for the war elephants! Corina shouted.
"Spirits! Pour the strongest rum of all! Goode waved the leather bag made of the Monkey in his hand and shouted at the pandas.
"Ched Maria! Both the House and the Dir are vassals under the command of Misha-sama, save our brothers! O'Neill waved the big stick in his hand.
"Don't you understand what I'm telling you? Richard! You're not a robber! It's good to be sensible! You should know what a crime it is to intercept a foreign business traveler! If you were to attack two more officers in your entourage, would you know what the charges were? Cui Beiqian's eyes were flashing with tears: "We are just ordinary Beamon, even if it is a sacrifice, what can we do?" I've seen enough of Beamon's suffering over the years, and we can't change it! I know the pain in your heart, and my heart hurts when I see my people fall under the sword of a human being! But what's the solution? The fate of the musk deer has been decided since the Battle of Hyjal! ”
"Mentor, I've listened to your explanation." Liu Zhenzhen put the phalanx on his shoulder: "You have a lot of sense, and I also understand Lord Rosenberg's difficulties and the current situation of the kingdom. ”
"If only you figured it out." The beautiful snake tutor smiled sadly.
"I figured it out. If I don't rescue these musk men, I won't forgive myself for the rest of my life! It's been forbearance until now, and it's time for me to go crazy, it's a big deal that this lord is gone! If the nobles are like this, what's the point of me continuing to do it? Liu Zhenzhen let out a sneer from his nose.
"Adult" Vieri wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, moved by the gang.
"Rules are made by might! So who is the master of the Thousand Miles of Great Wasteland? Liu Zhenzhen rudely pushed Cui Beiqian away, opened his arms, and asked the cold wind, and also asked the militia.
"Lord Richard!" A thunderous roar rang out all around.
"So what are you waiting for?" Liu Zhenzhen shook his hair and pointed his finger forward: "Let's go!" ”
In the passionate cheers of the militiamen, Cui Beiqian's eyes suddenly turned dark green, and a pale green light like a ray enveloped Liu Zhenzhen.
Liu Zhenzhen suddenly stiffened, except for his eyeballs, he couldn't move anywhere, maintaining the posture of pointing out the country, and the wind gently swept his blonde hair.
A face of perseverance.
"What are you doing all the time?" Avril screamed and pulled everyone back to reality.
The mastiffs are the most loyal, seeing that the lord suddenly stiffened strangely, and Cui Beiqian was so abnormal just now, as soon as Avril spoke, one by one they held wooden sticks and surrounded the beautiful snake.
Goode and the pandas were in unison, and their backhands opened an arc, and Sen Leng's prismatic spear was aimed at the body of the beautiful snake sacrifice and was ready to be thrown.
"Don't mess around!" Ning Yu shouted, and pressed Avril Lavigne, who had already broken a clam shell scroll.
"Stop Bellamy! It's the Mentor's racial ability, Medusa's gaze petrification! No harm to Richard! Helen screamed.
"I think you need to calm down." The beautiful snake ignored the angry eyes of the militiamen around her, and touched Liu's shocking face apologetically, with complex emotions fluctuating in her eyes.
Liu Zhen's eyes were full of bones, if his eyes could scold people, the current Cui Beiqian would definitely be foaming at the mouth and a bunch of thick phlegm.
"Let Richard calm down alone, if he still insists on his idea after the petrification effect has passed, the lord can do whatever he wants" Cui Beiqian floated away, dropping a sentence.
"I want to you!" Liu Zhenzhen wanted to scold, but he couldn't scold a word.
Obis Rakhi! What kind of petrification is this, it's similar to the points I've heard when I listened to the book reviews before. Liu Zhenzhen thought.
"I can't see it, you guys are kind of kind." Gotanie walked past Liu Zhenzhen and paused.
A large group of militiamen looked at the proprietress and the dumbfounded boss stupidly, not knowing what to do.
"Richard, it looks like you've really thought of yourself as a Beamon!" Helen sighed, untied her cloak and wrapped it around Liu Zhenzhen's body.
Guoguo and the little piglet rolled their eyes wildly.
The wind is stronger.
Liu Zhenzhen's eyes under the flying hair were like the moonlight of the plain, shining with essence.
The crooked "champas" and the pale moonlight are a little cold.
The dew was heavy, and the beads of water hung on the berries, dripping undripping.
The wasteland was covered with a shin mist.
There was a boiling of voices in the Emerald Territory.
The night pearl on the magic fountain illuminates the surroundings with the color of the water.
Twelve mammoths were led by mammoth hercules in a row from the pen at the bottom of the high slope.
The mammoth mammoth was neatly combed, and several mammoth women held bowls and used mashed chiba dogwood and water to pull out black juice and dye the mammoth's long hair a pitch-black color.
Corina put her foot on the whetstone, dusting the blade with her fingers, and a basin of murky water on the ground.
"Dye all the blades of the ivory knife black!" Liu shook his stiff head, took a cigar in his mouth, and waved his arms.
"Why?" Corina asked, stunned.
"Cut people up without reflection, so they have nowhere to hide." The cigar in Liu Zhenzhen's mouth drifted with fragrant smoke as he spoke.
It has been three hours since Medusa Cui Beiqian performed the "Gazing Petrification Technique" on Liu Zhenxing, and this kind of petrification technique that cannot be used only for virgins is really powerful, which also makes Liu Zhenzhen, who thinks he is almost immune to magic, finally understand one thing - there is a sky outside the sky.
But that obviously doesn't justify him giving up.
At the entrance of the cave belonging to Cui Beiqian on the red clay slope, the beautiful snake tutor stood on Qianmo and looked coldly at Liu Zhenzhen, who was busy with his work.
Helen was right next to her, and Helen's hand was firmly grasped by her.
Liu Zhenzhen stretched out his arms, and Ning Yu and Avril were helping him buckle the cow tendons at the junction of the rattan armor under his ribs.
Liu's shocked gaze collided with Cui Beiqian on the red clay slope.
Cui Beiqian immediately avoided this strange and terrifying gaze, which was full of burning and destruction.
The beautiful snake turned around and pulled a reluctant Helen back to the cave.
The evergreen bamboo leaf curtains hung on the cave could not cover the thunderous roar outside.
"Are you ready to dipped in blood? Did the knife grind the block? Has the venom been smeared on your weapons? Liu's shocking roar shook the entire red clay slope "gargling".
"Ready!" The voices of the militiamen were equally roaring.
"Go and rescue your fellow Dirs! Even if they die, I will let them die at my hands! I will never allow them to be transported to the human kingdom and take those sachets out of their bodies alive! ”
"Good!"
"There is no need to leave prisoners today! Greens Monks, you will be temporarily my swordsmen today and join me in the attack! ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Let the heads of the enemy tell me how brave you are! Let's go! ”
The sound of the mammoth's hooves hitting the ground was like a war drum from ancient times, and it struck the hearts of Cui Beixi and Helen.
"Mentor, I think," said Helen.
"I won't allow you to go along!" The expression on the face of the beautiful snake was ugly: "This matter has made my brain very messy, you let me be quiet." ”
Helen was silent.
Stealthily lifting the bamboo leaf curtain, Helen saw twelve mammoths full of well-armed warriors heading towards the depths of the moor.
Helen was surprised to find that in the southeast corner of the red clay slope, the knight of Gotanie stood on the rocky side of the red clay slope, looking at the backs of the distant militiamen.
Godani's long white-blond hair was blown into a mess, and her sword was set aside and her cloak was hunting.
