Chapter 108: The Demon King Sauron, who recruits talents
When the two archery-type necromancers woke up, they found that they had been tied to the cliff with their heads down, the two of them were not panicked, but they were looking around for something, but Hongjun was sitting on top of the two, and when he saw that the two of them were awake, he said lightly, "Elf clan. . . ”
The two of them stagnated for a moment, and then relaxed again, which was naturally seen by Hongjun, and said with a smile, "You have a long lifespan, but why do you have to give Sauron your life?" ”
The two did not answer.
Hongjun continued, "I know of another elven clan, but they are far away from here, and their weapons... Also bows and arrows. And... Men and women are pretty, how can they be like you... People are not ghosts, they are not ghosts. ”
Both of them trembled a little, as if they wanted to refute, but they still didn't let go.
Hongjun laughed twice and said, "I know what you're thinking. I know this won't trap you, but maybe you're waiting for more information to come out of my mouth so you can get back to your life. ”
The armor of the two people was untied with a clatter, and two green balls of light floated out of the armor, floating a few meters away from Hongjun, Hongjun and the two balls of light were so cold for a few minutes, and suddenly the two balls of light floated towards the pile of armor again, and then floated back to Hongjun with only a helmet, one of them said, "Who are you?" ”
Hongjun was stunned for a long time before guessing that the other party might only be able to make a sound with the help of the special equipment on the helmet.
After figuring out this, Hongjun said with a smile, "Who am I?" Since you are waiting for me in ambush in the barracks, you will not know who I am? ”
Seeing that Hongjun already knew, the two no longer hid anything, and tried to get more information about each other through communication with each other.
"We are just on the orders of Lord Sauron to recruit a powerful being."
"Surrender?" Hongjun said strangely.
"Yes, our first mission is to surrender, and only when we fail to surrender will we try to wound the place and bring it to Lord Sauron."
Hongjun sneered and laughed, "Your Lord Sauron is really a pity, he is a demon king who would be interested in me as a little-known person?" ”
The two of them ignored each other's slips of the tongue and said, "Our lords are very interested in all powerful beings, as well as any race that has shown outstanding abilities in any of them. The ideals of adults are not something that you mere mortals can understand. ”
Hongjun almost laughed, a demon king, a demon king with ideals and ambitions, and a demon king who can recruit all kinds of talents, is really a very strange existence.
Hongjun suddenly remembered the missing Hermione, so he pretended to ask casually, "Have you recruited a lot of talents recently?" ”
The two of them said with some pride on their faces, "Hmph, how can ordinary people get into the eyes of adults, only those who are particularly outstanding in some aspects will come forward for us." There has only been one person in the last year, and you are honored to be the second one. ”
Hongjun nodded and asked, "In your eyes, what is the ability of the person in front?" What are my abilities? ”
The two said, "The person in front seems to be able to resist spiritual corrosion and infection, and the two of you are powerful in combat, so we have prepared eight of us to try... Unexpectedly, your strength has exceeded our expectations too much. ”
Hongjun heard Hermione's clues from the other party's words, and said, "How many people did the person in front send to arrest him?" ”
The two of them didn't care, maybe the person in front of them just wanted to compare the abilities of the two, so they said casually, "At first, two people were looking for a certain item, and then after receiving the news, they decided to try to pull that person into our camp, so they sent two more people forward, and in terms of time, they should have succeeded." ”
Hongjun hurriedly asked, "What if we, the people with special abilities, don't agree to your surrender?" Or what about Sauron's refusal to commit himself to your torture? ”
Unexpectedly, the two of them said in a relaxed and proud tone, "We don't have the torture that the outside world imagines, because no one will refuse the invitation of adults, Lord Sauron's abilities and ambitions are not something that ordinary people can understand, I believe that no matter how you are brought back to Mordor, as long as you meet adults, you will be impressed by the charm of adults, without exception." ”
"And how did you come to Sauron's power?"
The two of them twisted a little now, although the other party was just a ball of light wrapped in a helmet, Hongjun still felt that the other party was a little unspeakable.
After a while, one of the two said, "I must admit that we didn't really want to join Lord Sauron's command in the first place, but... Those crowns at the beginning had great magical power, which could greatly increase the power of those of us, so the endless thirst for power made us wear the crown cast by Lord Sauron without hesitation, there were eighteen crowns at that time, and all eighteen wearers became the leaders of the clan, either the leader or the important existence. Wearing these crowns for a long time made us gradually understand the great ambitions of Lord Sauron, and finally, we tried to convince the people of our clan to side with Lord Sauron, and as a result, only four human nations succeeded, and the other fourteen were too confident in their own strength, and tried to achieve their goals by brute force when persuasion failed, but these fools ... After all, I still underestimate the power of the collective, no matter how strong a person is, he can't treat his people like enemies, but the people have already regarded those fools as outliers, so these fourteen people fled, and since then they have officially allegiated to Lord Sauron, these have been a long, long time ago, when those crown owners died, Lord Sauron used his power to transform us into the form you see, and since then we have an endless lifespan. The fourteen failed crown owners were transformed into Necroknights after their deaths. The other four kings who succeeded in convincing their country to join him are still working for Lord Sauron in their respective countries. ”
Hongjun was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and his interest in this Sauron increased, since it seemed that Hermione was safe, and he thought that the other party would send someone to contact him in a few days, then he would first look at the means of the visitor, and then he remembered something, and asked, "Before that, why did Sauron start several wars?" ”
The two of them were a little impatient, and said with some displeasure, "When you see us, you will naturally give you the answer, at this moment, do you accept our acceptance?" Hongjun was very sensitive to find that the other party was no longer using the somewhat derogatory word of surrender.
Hongjun shook his head and said, "Let me think about it, if one day I figure it out, or want to find an answer, naturally go back to Mordor to find your Sauron Demon King." ”
Hongjun's answer made both of them a little unhappy, but they couldn't beat each other, so they had to be silent.
Hongjun left here with Taishang, and the two planned to go to Gangduo to find the deputy commander to reply to the task, Hongjun did not intend to tell the other party the truth, since he already knew that the other party planned to withdraw from the army, then he naturally had to find a suitable set of words.
When the two returned to Gondor the next day with staggering steps, Eugene noticed the two at first sight, and after a moment of astonishment on his face, he came to the two with a happy expression, and hurriedly asked people to check the injuries of the two, and after finding that it was only some skin injuries, he instructed the two of them, "Two strong men, you should rest for a few days first, everything is important to the body." There was a bit of warmth and earnestness in his tone.
Hongjun gasped a few times and said in a messy voice, "We succeeded." The leader of the other side was killed by us, and he may have withdrawn as well. ”
Eugene's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, well, I will tell the Lord Commander and Lord Regent, I believe there will be a reward for the two of you, go and rest first, you are all heroes of Gondor." ”
Hongjun and Taishang nodded hard, and were helped into the city by a few people around them.
Sure enough, around noon, a large number of orcs began to retreat. Collini, who got the news, was very excited, and patted Eugene on the shoulder a few times, and after a few words, he said loudly, "Let's go, let's go see our big heroes, they saved my Gondor, saved the whole of Middle-earth, hahaha"
After speaking, he pulled Eugene to go out, Eugene had to reluctantly lead the way for Collini, and the two rode to a not too big house in the city, Collini said strangely, "This is not the one... What's the name? ”
Eugene said, "Yes, it's just that the general died in battle, and the family sold the house, and after years of war, there was no tavern in the city, so they had to arrange for the two to live here temporarily." ”
Collini nodded, not caring about these details, just remembering that one of his subordinates of the same age had lived here before.
After Collini saw Hongjun and Taishang, Collini praised him a lot, and asked people to prepare gold, silver and servants, appeased the two, and proposed to arrange for the two to be a big general in the army.
Hongjun laboriously agreed, and after the two left, he gave Taishang a look, Taishang nodded, and the figure disappeared.
After Eugene accompanied his boss to visit the two, he separated from Corini at the door, and walked in the direction of the city with two attendants, and the three came to the door of a three-story building, and several servants helped the three of them to dismount, and took the horse courteously, and shouted at the door, "Master go home!" ”
