Early the next morning, Lin Xiu took his team to the archmage's castle.

Looking at the more than 30 people around him, each carrying a flat pole full of ore, Lin Xiu's heart was excited.

"I didn't expect that there are two boxes of Mithril Mine, it seems that Hou Qing has helped a lot, but he can't be careless because of this, Hou Qing is a zombie ancestor after all, and he may have another purpose for deliberately showing favor like this. ”

The quaint gate opened, and the archmage walked out with a group of puppets.

Seeing the two baskets of Mithril that Alex was carrying at the front of the team, the archmage's eyes lit up: "You came really fast! But my estimate is right, and cooperating with you is the right decision." ”

"Don't say more polite words, according to our agreement, these ores should be able to be exchanged for 12 third-order puppets, right?" Lin Xiu said.

"That's nature, it's what we contracted. ”

The Archmage's Staff slammed into the ground, and 12 iron men and a three-headed vicious dog emerged from the castle.

"Hellhound?"

When Lin Xiu saw the three-headed vicious dog, his eyes were straight.

The three-headed vicious dog was covered with flesh and blood, with a dog ring around its neck, and the three hideous-looking dog's heads kept shaking to look unruly, and their mouths were spitting hot air.

"Hellhound? no, no, no, this is just an ordinary three-headed dog that I put together through alchemy. The archmage shook his head and said: "This three-headed vicious dog is a failure product that I spliced with three third-order canine beasts, and it did not break through the limit of the ontology, but the three heads of the three-headed vicious dog can use wind, fire, and water magic respectively, and it can be regarded as a top-notch existence among third-order monsters." ”

"To celebrate our first successful trade, I am presenting this three-headed vicious dog to you, hoping that our friendship will last forever. ”

Friendship lasts forever?

For this kind of verbal talk, Lin Xiu just smiled slightly, and didn't take it seriously.

After the puppet contract, Lin Xiu immediately asked people to hand over the ore to the archmage.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work with. Lin Xiu stretched out a hand.

The archmage was stunned for a moment, then tentatively stretched out his hand.

When I first came into contact, the archmage's hands were cold, like a pair of dead people's hands.

After a hurried shake with Lin Xiu, the archmage took his hand back.

The transaction was successfully concluded, and Lin Xiu was about to go home, but he suddenly thought of something and looked back at the archmage.

"I've been quite busy lately, and it's okay for me to let him execute the transaction in the future, right?" Lin Xiu pointed at Sawyer and said.

"As long as there is no problem with the material, anyone can come. "Archmage said.

"That's fine, let's go. Lin Xiu waved his hand: "Take care of your body, otherwise you won't see the day when the Titan appears!"

The archmage looked at Lin Xiu's back, looked at his body again, sighed, and suddenly chuckled again, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I will definitely see it." ”

Back at the camp, before the sun had set, the earth elves and the people who stayed in the camp were building a new home, and they had also built five houses that had been picked up.

Sawyer sat on the three-headed vicious dog with Fat Chirp in his arms, and the ugly face of the three-headed vicious dog was not so scary under the wrapping of Fat Chirp's cute appearance.

There were even quite a few people around Sawyer who nodded and commented.

"What rank do you guess this three-headed dog is?"

"Fourth-order, I guess. ”

"Come on, Fourth Order, isn't that the same level as the Lust Demon Rennes?"

It's a good thing Wren isn't here, otherwise he would have thundered again.

"It's snowing?"

Lin Xiu looked at the sky, and scattered snowflakes fell from the sky one after another.

"It's snowing, and it's not so easy to hunt again. ”

The previous hunting brought Lin Xiu nearly 200W of energy value, although it was not much, but it barely subsidized the family.

But now that the snow is drifting to the Cloud Mountains, it is small that you can't hunt in the future, and the main thing is that as soon as the snow falls, the temperature of the air will drop rapidly.

The construction of the house needs to be hurried, and in addition, it is necessary to find a way to buy some cotton clothes for the slaves to spend the winter.

"The big framework of the Cloud Mountains has been erected, and I will go back to Hammond tomorrow, on the one hand, to buy the cotton clothes of the slaves, and on the other hand, to take a look at Hammond's situation, although I can learn some news about Hammond through Brooke's mouth, but there are some things that can only be relieved if I see it with my own eyes. ”

After dark, everyone returned, and during the meal, Lin Xiu briefly explained his thoughts.

Lin Xiu specifically asked Agatha if he wanted to return to Hammond with him.

But I didn't expect Agatha to refuse directly, according to Agatha, now that his father is in Changfeng Fortress, there will be no big mess, and now that the national crisis is at hand, even if she goes back, it will be useless.

It is better to stay in this camp, stay in the rear of the enemy, and deal a fatal blow to the opponent at the most critical moment.

The next day, sunset.

Lin Xiu wore a cloak coat and followed Brooke out of the secret realm of the mine.

Looking at the familiar basement, Lin Xiu had a feeling that things were wrong.

"Who is he? Why don't you leave?"

After the miners left, Li Yan pointed to Lin Xiu and asked Brooke.

"It's me. Lin Xiu took off his hood and showed a smile at Li Yan.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back!"

When Li Yan saw Lin Xiu, his heavy face suddenly relaxed.

He can be a guard, he can be an assassin, but he can never be a leader.

It was a reluctant move to accept the order in danger, and now the conflict between the humans and orcs in Hammond is becoming more and more intense.

Li Yan woke up with a headache every day and fell asleep in a noisy voice.

Now that Lin Xiu is back, he is finally relieved.

"It's been a hard time. Lin Xiu patted Li Yan's arm: "But now is not the time to relax, I am now a dead person in the eyes of some people, if I appear rashly in front of people, I am afraid it will cause trouble." ”

"It's okay, as long as the adults come back. ”

Although Li Yan is trying his best to regulate the contradiction between humans and orcs, others are soft-spoken, the human side is fine, and the orcs are about to be unable to suppress it, if they don't stop it, I'm afraid that Hammond will be in chaos before the rebellion comes.

"Did something happen?" Lin Xiu asked.

"Today, when the Garrison Department was following Baron Nichol and his party, two Night Elves disappeared, and the patriarchs of several major beast clans had been making trouble here for most of the day because of this matter, and they had just left. Li Yan said.

"Missing?Every Night Elf has second-order strength, how could they be missing?Could it be that there are high-level professionals in that Nikkor's team?" Lin Xiu asked.

"According to our observations, the members of their caravan are all ordinary people, and the two guards are only second-order strength, with the strength of the night elves, they should not be discovered. ”

At this time, the aroma of stir-fry in the kitchen came out.

"My lord, you've had a hard time coming back, so let's talk about it after dinner. Li Yan said.

"I can't eat it. ”

Nichol is just a small character, Lin Xiu originally wanted to wait for Hammond and even the nails of Changfeng Fortress to be found, and then catch them all.

I didn't expect that now a small role has evolved into a big trouble.

"Where did they disappear?" Lin Xiu asked.

"Hammond's South East District. Li Yan said.

"Lost it at home?"

Lin Xiu's face was ugly, if it was excusable if he lost it in Changfeng Fortress, but it was the first time he had heard of it if he lost someone in his own home.

"Tell the city guards to close the gates. ”

"Investigate, investigate! Even if I turn Hammond upside down, I'm going to find someone. ”

"All the people who have been in contact with Nichol have been closely monitored by me, and if anything happens, they will be arrested. ”
