Chapter 102: Temptation
During the day, Hopeless held a thick iron pot, shrunk his head and looked out from the battlement, last night Luo Qiu's divine arrow, not only shot Leo, but also frightened Hopeless, in the face of such an archer, standing on the wall has become a very risky thing.
So he simply switched to daytime reconnaissance, hoping to use the coverage of sunlight to reduce the perception range of the undead, so that he would not be killed by an arrow.
The view during the day was much clearer than at night with arcane augmentation, and it was evident that there was a large pit under the city wall, which was a few kilometers in diameter, with a steep slope on one side of the wall and a gentle slope on the other, and the sand dug out from the pit was carried away from the gentle slope.
Hopeless still couldn't see what the crater was doing, could it be that he wanted to fill in the cliff on the left with sand?
He originally wanted to discuss these issues with Leo, but before he finished introducing his own situation, Leo hung up. It's ironic to say that a master tactician who has never been on the battlefield was shot to death for whipping a maid when he was about to face the battlefield.
In view of this, Hopless had to wonder if Leo, a master tactician, was a parallel import, a guy who couldn't even grasp the situation on the battlefield and died so funny, qualified to be called a master tactician?
However, these words, Hoplesse only muttered in his heart, as a teacher of his own strategy and tactics, he still needs to maintain a certain respect, otherwise he really nails Leo into a parallel import, so what is he, a parallel student?
A guard shrunk his head and came over, and whispered, "Young master, that maid is awake, what to do with her?"
Leo had knocked the maid unconscious with a few lashes, and she was only now awake.
Hopeless waved his hand impatiently: "Do you think I'm idle?
"Oh. The guard shrank and prepared to retreat, but was stopped by Hopless.
"Say, why did that guy down there shoot Master Leo?is it because Leo is too noisy?or because he hates him for hitting people?" Hopless muttered as if talking to himself, and finally turned his gaze to the guard's face.
The guard shook his head vigorously with a 'you're talking to me?' expression.
Hopless glared at him hatefully, knowing that he couldn't expect the IQ of these fools under him, he directly ordered: "Put that maid down." ”
"Ah, it's too cruel, isn't it?" the guards couldn't help but show a look of intolerance when they heard this, and the millions of skeletons below put down a delicate woman?
Hopless smirked, "Why don't I throw you down?"
The guard shuddered, and retreated without saying a word, and after a while he pushed the maid over and pushed her into the basket, and it was only at this moment that the maid understood what fate she was about to face, and immediately sat down in the basket, crying helplessly, and she did not try to resist, for it was doomed in vain.
The hanging basket carrying the maid slowly fell under the wall, and Hopless carefully poked out half his head, and muttered to himself: "Do you hate noise, or do you have pity?
The maid was driven out of the basket with a bow and arrow, and the basket was raised. The maid hid in the corner, clutching her knees helplessly.
It was Gray who was on duty during the day, and he saw this scene, and returned to the tent to report to Luo Qiu, who came out to take a look, and then returned to the tent as if nothing had happened, and the maid was thrown into the corner of the city wall and ignored.
Night began to fall, and in the evening sunset, Bai Sensen's hand bones poked out of the countless holes in the entire land, and a hideous skeleton crawled out of the ground.
The maid shivered after just one look, and wanted to bury her head in the sand.
However, no one paid attention to her, and the nearest skeleton was estimated to be only five or six hundred meters away from her, but they didn't even look at her.
All night the maid shrugged herself in a thin gauze garment, shivering in the cold wind of the wilderness night, and frightened by the sound of the darkness ahead, for fear that a skeleton would come out of the darkness and tear her apart.
Unfortunately, she thought too much, and until the early morning of the next day, no one paid attention to her. At the beginning of the morning, the skeletons, who had worked all night, returned to their various pits, lay in, and pulled the surrounding sand to bury themselves.
The moment the sun shines directly on the earth, there are only traces of a bunch of potholes on the earth, and a lonely tent in the distance.
The night's frightening had made the maid very tired and emaciated, and she was faced with a more painful physiological reaction, hunger and thirst, and she had not eaten or drunk for a day and a night.
Forget about food, normal people can't starve to death if they don't eat for seven days, but if they don't drink water for three days, they will die of thirst.
On the one hand, she died of thirst, and on the other hand, she might be torn apart by a skeleton, and in contrast to the two, the maid finally succumbed to her physical instincts, struggled to her feet, and walked tremblingly to the tent.
Walking along the deliberately reserved path, the maid looked at the potholes on both sides in horror, fearing that the skeletons inside would jump. But no, she walked safely to the tent and was stopped by Gray.
"Yes...... Give me a little ...... Water?" Gray had a sloppy face and a patch on his skull, but it was far more acceptable than the bone racks around him, and the maid asked him in a hoarse voice.
Gray didn't answer, but turned to look at Luo Qiu.
Luo Qiu's soul scanned the other party up and down, inside and out, after he got the transformation magic armor, he was particularly afraid of the transformation ability of the transformation dragon, so he paid special attention to distinguishing whether the other party was transformed by the transformation dragon.
The results of the mind scan revealed that the maid was an ordinary human.
"You are obviously afraid of us, why do you ask us for water, you can ask for water from the same kind on the wall. Luo Qiu asked puzzled.
The maid didn't dare to look into the tent, and when she heard Luo Qiu's inquiry, she had the courage to look up, but saw a handsome human being sitting in the tent as if it was glowing, and couldn't help blushing and lowered her head.
He ...... They won't give it, they pushed me down, probably trying to test something with me. The maid said in a hoarse voice.
Luo Qiu looked up, only to see a head with an iron helmet on the city wall, and when he saw Luo Qiu looking over, the head quickly shrank back.
"You were the one who was whipped the night before, what was your name, why were you whipped, who beat you?" Luo Qiu asked several questions in a row, and at the end he turned around and said, "Serve tea." ”
"My name is Malena, and it was my master, a master named Leo, who struck me, because I knocked down the drink and spilled it on his clothes. Malena hung her head and answered Luo Qiu's question in a clear manner.
The tea was quickly served, and Malena didn't care about the heat, she blew and sucked, and after drinking the first sip, her eyes widened violently, and she drank faster.
"Is Marlena? You speak clearly, have you read books, do you know how to read?" Luo Qiu asked, in this world where the per capita literacy rate is not high, it is not easy to speak clearly, and literacy is a special ability.
"Well, read, literate. Speaking of this topic, Malena's eyes suddenly turned red, and when she asked, she learned that she was the daughter of an official when she was a child, and her family was trafficked into slavery because of the failure of the political struggle.
When her tragic life made her about to cry, her stomach gurgled, and Malena's face turned red, and there was no atmosphere.
Luo Qiu couldn't help laughing, waved her hand to step back first, and called Melissa to prepare food, while he got up and walked out of the tent, looking at the city wall from afar.
On the city wall, the head with the iron helmet was quietly rising, and when he saw Luo Qiu looking over, he quickly shrank back again.
"Temptation? Send a living man over and what do you want to tempt? Temptation to see if I am a tyrannical skeleton or a good bone?"
After thinking for a while, Luo Qiu shook his head and dispelled an idea that had just popped up in his heart: "In the face of absolute power, communication and compromise are superfluous, but even if you want to communicate, after you conquer the Iron Grinding City, I will leave you to talk about it." ”
