"Why don't you go to Coron City to rest your foot, the Governor will surely welcome you. The lord picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, "I don't have anything good to entertain you. ”

"The nobles are too flattering, I don't like them, and I don't like banquets. Du Pon waved his hand violently, disgust clearly written on his face.

"What are you doing in the northwest direction, isn't that the orc kingdom?" Richard took a sip and realized that it was actually milk tea.

This specialty drink made with black tea, milk and condensed milk is very popular with women, but as a producer, Richard has never been interested in sweets.

"Who's that, change a pot of tea. ”

"It's a half-orc kingdom, yes. Du Pong stretched out his hand to protect the teapot, "This tea tastes good, I still want a recipe, why do you want to change it?"

"Master...... With all due respect, if you continue to be so fat, it will be very harmful to your health. ”

"As a magister, I have a deep grasp of my physical condition and generally do not get sick easily. Dupon proudly picked up the teapot and poured himself another full cup.

"Okay. "Richard used to have all sorts of fantasies about the so-called big men, thinking that they must all be long-term and stoic, and would not sink into such lowly hobbies as gluttony.

In the past two years, I have slowly seen a lot, only to find that it is not the case at all. As living people, the advantages and disadvantages of human nature are reflected in them in the same way, and at most it is better to conceal it than it is so easy to discover.

"What are you doing in the Orc Kingdom?"

"There's an old friend over there from my youth, and I'm going to see how he's doing. Du Pong waved his hand, "It's all old things, I guess you young people are not interested in knowing." ”

"But honestly, you have a lot of new stuff here, and I've seen those big giants from a long distance. The fat old man looked at Richard firmly, as if he had come to know him all over again, "A pioneer lord who has both dwarves and giants under his command is much more powerful than those so-called wealthy families." ”

"Teach me, how the hell do you do that?" he asked with interest.

The lord shook his head very chicly, "Without him, it's just handsome who is doing trouble." ”

"And those giants are all more than ten blades tall, how can there be such tall giants now. Master Du Pon scratched the top of his head and asked with a suspicious face, "I remember that according to the records of the genealogy of the pan-intelligent race, the tallest sea giant in existence is only six or seven blades. ”

"Ah......" Richard's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

In today's mainstream view, the Iron Giants are an ancient subspecies of the giant family that has long since become extinct. If it was found that they were alive and well in Alpine Fort, there was no way to explain it.

You must know that there are no deep mountains and old forests in the surrounding area, and no one will believe the vulgar drama of the reclusive remnants.

Fortunately, his mind has always been faster: "That's ...... A slight height anomaly caused by atavism, so it's a little taller than a normal giant. ”

"Atavistic giant, then I'll have to go and see!" the elemental user's curiosity flared up, and Dupont's eyes lit up, and he stood up and left without saying a word

"Don't, don't. Richard hurriedly grabbed him and grabbed him with all his might, and he didn't let go.

"Zila~" The cracking sound was simply loud.

Du Pong watched his robe turn into a short beat, and his chubby cheeks twitched slightly, "I say, aren't you going to explain?"

"These atavistic giants are usually ...... They are all very inferior, very inferior. The more the lord spoke, the smoother he became, with extremely sincere compassion on his face, and his tone full of humanistic concern.

"They are different from their own kind, they are ostracized by the group, so they have a deep inferiority complex. I don't usually want to see outsiders, it's pathetic - Master, can't you be considerate of them?"

This final question that hits the soul is really compassionate, and Du Pont is a soft-hearted person, and he is immediately moved.

"Well, that's a shame. He sat back in his chair and sighed reluctantly, "Actually, they should be proud of themselves, after all, the more they return to their ancestors, the closer they are to the Ancient Titans." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Richard slapped his thigh, understood that he had finally been fooled, and pretended to sigh, "But the long time of more than 10,000 years is like an insurmountable moat, how can there be a few people who can remember the glory of the Titan." ”

"That's right. Under the tide of time, nothing can be immortalized. After Master Du Pong sighed, he turned to say: "On the other way, I also found that one of your subordinates seems to have an unusually strong spiritual origin. Good fellow, much better than when I was younger. ”

"Female?" Richard's heart and liver that he had just put down hung up again, and he subconsciously sat up straight.

Elizabeth is also one of the best ones who don't go out of the door and don't let outsiders know about it. Not to mention the possible problem of beauty attracting bees and butterflies, the arthropods on both sides of her skull themselves do not match any intelligent race, and it is also very troublesome to explain.

The lord really regretted that he was too negligent in his secrecy work now, so much so that Du Pon was just wandering around the heavens, and he actually read the most important secret of the mountain fort.

It didn't matter before, the so-called enemies were nothing more than shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Keeping them confidential or not, they are treated as sandbags and hung up with a hammer.

But as the stalls of the mountain fort spread more and more in the future, the opponents faced will inevitably become more and more high-grade. Their methods will be more diverse and sharper, and if they are still as negligent as they are now, they will have to suffer a big loss sooner or later.

"Man, a kobold. The fat old man suddenly snorted coldly, "I think such a strong spiritual source is really blind to him!"

When the lord heard that it was Nehru, he relaxed a little, and drank a cup of milk tea to suppress his shock, "I remember that five hundred years ago, Master Chogori once made a famous analogy - whether the spiritual origin is strong or not largely determines whether you are on foot or in a carriage when you advance on the path of magic. ”

"That kobold is called Nehru, and he is also an elemental user, how can it be useless if he has a strong spiritual origin?"

"How obedient you are only half listened. Dupon tilted his head sideways with a strange expression, "How can Master Chogori be such a brilliant figure as he could agree with something as superficial as talent determinism, which is clearly the case-"

"Whether you have a strong spiritual source or not largely determines whether you are on foot or in a carriage when you are on the path of magic. But where this path ultimately leads depends on one's temperament and character. ”

"Really?"

"Yes. Du Pon sighed, "This sentence is obviously used to emphasize the importance of personal temperament, and to encourage apprentices with poor mental talent not to give up easily. If you cut off the second half, the meaning is completely reversed. ”

Richard's face flushed.
