Chapter 100: The Hobbit Halfling
Xia Yi didn't expect that in the depths of the frozen forest, he would encounter a village.
The village was the size of the druids Shay had encountered, but it was just as backward, or more precise, primitive, such as the walls in front of him, which were nailed in a row of thick logs, and the two watchtowers were just a small attic with a bow and arrow standing on it.
"The fences are stronger than this wall." Xia Yi looked at him from afar, "Look at their watchtower, it's so simple!" Oh! Mondo, you see, they look weirder than the orcs! β
Mondo had long been accustomed to Xia Yi's words, and said with a blank look: "They were originally a subordinate race of the House clan, but they broke away from the orcs a long time ago. β
"Young man, not all the intelligent races on the continent originated from orcs." Harry retorted that the history of the orcs records that the ancestors of humans were the Munk among the orcs, which is something that humans will not recognize.
Mondo snorted twice and said: "The vassals of the House tribe are called donkey people, they cling to the master race, and the descendants of the House people are called mule people, one of the mule people inherits the height of the House people and the endurance of the donkey people, but they are infertile, and the other is short and incompetent, but they can bear offspring, this is the origin of the hobbit halflings." β
"."
Lucia said disdainfully, the orcs always think that all the races on the continent should come from the orcs, and the goblins are the earthworm people among the orcs? What a cocky race.
"Deputy Commander, this is real history." The Doug interjected, "Look at the hind legs of the Hobbit Halfling. As strong as House's legs, this is probably the only trait they inherited from their ancestors, which is that they are fast. β
They are called "halflings" because their upper body is a human body. The hind legs of the horses are below the waist, so they lean forward a little and run like the wind.
The arrival of Xia Yi and his gang made the hobbit halfling on the sentry tower a little nervous, and the two sentries chattered and whispered to each other, and one of them climbed down from the sentry tower, which should have been to ventilate the news.
"Strange, the last time I was here, the Hobbit Halfling only had a fenced wall, not even a watchtower. Not to mention the Sentinels. Harry said in the tone of an old mercenary. We were also treated to a hobbit halfling. They are very hospitable, and the food they cook is absolutely decent, and they can eat a hobbit halfling in the cold and snow. Definitely happier than being a king! β
"Yes." Ponrick licked the saliva that flowed back to his chin and said, "I swear that the Rosa bones cooked by the Hobbit Halfling are definitely the best food in the world." β
Shay had heard of the Hobbit Halfling's cooking skills and asked, "How many years ago did you last arrive here?" β
"Five years ago." Harry affirmed, "In pursuit of a fugitive with a mercenary guild bounty." β
The mercenaries and Xia Yi walked under the fence, and the smell of killing on their bodies seemed to make the halfling on the watchtower a little nervous, and Xia Yi saw it. His horse's legs were trembling, and he was indeed an unfit race for battle.
"Hello, Brother Hobbit Halfling! We are mercenaries from the south, heading to the Haagen-Dazs Snow Mountain, if you can, please open the city gates, we are just passing through, and there is no malice. β
Harry was honest and that, according to the Pyg's confession, the Bone Tooth Necklace was hidden at the top of the Haagen-Dazs Snowy Mountain, flanked by steep rock walls, through which only the Hobbit Halfling's village could pass.
"Stop!" The sentry's lips trembled a little, but guarding his home gave him some courage, "What is the purpose of your visit to the Haagen-Dazs Snow Mountain?" β
"Of course, for the sake of wealth, HΓ€agen-Dazs Snow Mountain is a place for Warcraft! We need this! Xia Yi shook the bag on his waist, and the sound of the magic core colliding was crisp and pleasant, these are all gold coins!
The hobbit halfling said angrily, "Liar! Few mercenaries dare to reach our village, and no mercenary group dares to go to HΓ€agen-Dazs Snow Mountain, which is the lair of Warcraft! There's even a dragon on top of the mountain! Even ten mercenary groups like you can't fill the dragon's belly! β
This sentry is actually very eager to greet the mercenaries, they are a hospitable race, he wants to ask the mercenaries from the human kingdom or the orc kingdom, whether they have brought food from the outside world, the god of animal husbandry is above, the hobbit halfling is not only an excellent cook, but also a natural food taster.
This young halfling is the second time he has seen mercenaries from the outside world, he has only heard of the appearance of other races from the elders of the village, and then look at the mercenary group in front of him, chaotic, humans, elves, orcs, and a group of ...... What is that? Goblins? The race of the starving ghosts reincarnated?
"Dragons?" Shay's eyes lit up, she wanted to see the legendary dragon, and in her eyes, the dragon was synonymous with treasure.
"Aha, dear Beina, I'd love to serve you."
The zombie king rubbed his hands and was eager to try, the races on the continent, only the scales of the dragon could compete with the hard zombie body.
Xia Yi shouted at the sentry, "Is the dragon on the Haagen-Dazs Snow Mountain a golden holy dragon?" β
The Golden Dragons are the most powerful race among the dragons, and they are also the richest, and in blood, they usually consider themselves to be royalty among the dragons, but the other dragons disagree with this statement, which is another matter. Because the Golden Holy Dragon is a legendary thing, it attracts the contempt of Hobbit halflings.
"Miss Human, do you think dragons are as common as bats?" The young halfling said, "That's a terrifying Hell Black Dragon! Its mouth could swallow a mammoth! It can also spew out dragon flames that incinerate everything! Last time it passed through our village, it covered the sky like a dark cloud, it was terrible......"
The halfling gestured, his heart palpitating, what kind of disaster would it be if that hellish black dragon descended on the village?
"So I advise you to hurry away! No mercenaries are welcome in our village today! The halfling paused, then added, "In the future, too, never welcome!" β
For the first time, Harry was rejected by the Hobbit Halfling, and he thought that the young man was a little timid, and as for the Black Dragons of Hell, it was probably a nonsense he made up to send them away.
"We're just passing through, we don't need you to provide food, and we won't bother you."
"What? Don't eat our food?!?! The hobbit halfling jumped up as if cursed, and was no longer afraid, and cursed with a red face and a thick neck, "Human mercenary! Are you saying that our food is not tasty? You explain it to me! It's an insult! An insult to the entire hobbit halfling! β
Refusing food from a hobbit halfling is like scolding a thief in front of a Wright. Xia Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, does this hobbit halfling have a split personality? Again denying them access to the village, and having to accept their food? Shay had a flash of inspiration.
"We certainly don't need the food that the hobbit halflings provide." Ignoring Harry's obstruction, Xia Yi said disdainfully, "Poor little halfling, do you know that the cuisine of the Anthropocene realm has surpassed that of halflings?" Even the cocktails in ordinary taverns are ten times better than the fine wine made by halflings! I wanted to talk to you about brewing techniques, but arrogance is not a common problem of elves......"
Ignoring the rolling eyes of Lucia next to her, Shay depicts how high the culinary realm of the Anthropocene has reached, how fragrant the pastries are, how delicious the barbecue is, while belittleing the hobbit halfling's food to worthlessness.
Seeing that the young halfling's entire upper body had already poured out, he was about to jump off the watchtower and duel with Xia Yi.
"It's a fart! Human food is modeled after us halflings! ......" The breathless young man suddenly rolled his eyes, "Hmph, you are using the method of agitation to trick me into opening the city gate, right?" Cunning humans! β
Xia Yi said secretly, this halfling was vigilant, and she said disdainfully: "City gate? Sorry, I thought it was a fence for your vegetable garden! You say your towers can withstand a few kicks from the Eriphant warriors? β
The hobbit halfling saw through Xia Yi's conspiracy, and said no more, "Let's go!" Halflings don't welcome people who insult good food, you liars! β
Xia Yi really has the urge to break these wooden stakes, and the stubbornness of the halfling has to fight with the Boers!
"Curse all your food to burn! All the wine is spoiled! All the spatulas are rusty! I put too much salt in every cooking! Xia Yi crossed his waist and cursed.
"Wow! You wicked woman! "The young halfling was so angry that he stomped his feet, this is the most vicious curse against the hobbit halfling, and the poor honest halfling will not scold.
Lucia held her forehead, the elves are a peace-loving race, and she was dizzy when she saw such a scene.
"Alright, Shay, it's a big deal that we'll spare the halfling village." Lucia persuaded.
"Nope." Captain Harry was a little embarrassed, "The halfling village is the only road to the HΓ€agen-Dazs Snow Mountain, and the stone cliff next to it can't even find a place to stay. β
I saw that the young halfling who was scolding Xia Yi suddenly stopped, and he said happily: "Wait, vicious woman!" Our fighters are coming! β
I saw that the city gate, that is, the wooden stakes side by side, were pushed open, and several tall green-skinned monsters came out of it, four of them were Xia Yigao, and they had to bow their heads and waists when they passed through the city gate, each of them had fat heads and brains, and their noses were like Pigs, and their ears were very small.
Four pot-bellied green-skinned monsters, two of them carrying a large and a small wooden stick, and the other two each holding long, rusty spears!
Harry reminded, "It's the guardian of the Hobbit Halfling, the Greenskin Forest Troll!" β
