Volume 2 The Wolf's Lair Enters a Pit Chapter 13 Slaying the Dragon Sacrifice Flag
The inside and outside of the king's tent were still plain white, and the utensils that were not originally white were also wrapped in white parchment.
The decoration of the royal tent was not luxurious, but simple and neat, with a white carpet on the floor, a small coffee table on the left side of the tent, a small square table on the right, and a throne covered with white fur in the middle.
On the throne was Tie Xin V, who had already taken off his cloak, holding a parchment scroll in his hand and checking something, his brow furrowed. But at this time, I heard the palace guards report that "the little hero of Tegel has arrived!" “
Tie Xin V did not take his eyes off the parchment scroll, but casually ordered: "Please!" “
But Tegel followed the guard Bi Bi Jing into the king's tent, but Tie Xin V was still obsessed with his parchment, as if he did not know that Tegel had come in at his summons. Tegel didn't dare to lose his courtesy, bowed down, bent down to salute, and said loudly: "Xiaomin Tegel should be summoned by the fifth year to come to meet him!" May the Heavenly Father bless the king's health and health, and may the king's prestige and grace shine on the entire grassland forever! ”
Tie Xin V didn't hear it, but Tegel bent down but didn't dare to stand up, but after bending for a long time, he was extremely uncomfortable, and had to raise his voice again: "Xiaomin Tiger was summoned by Da Wu to come to meet him!" May the Heavenly Father bless the king's health and health, and may the king's prestige and grace shine on the entire grassland forever! ”
But Tiexin V still looked at his scroll as if he hadn't heard.
The silent pressure weighed on Tegel's heart, and his mind kept thinking about what he had missed, his legs began to weaken, and beads of sweat spontaneously broke out despite the cold weather. He summoned up the greatest courage and shouted in a trembling voice: "Xiaomin Tegel should be summoned by the fifth year to come to meet him!" May the Heavenly Father bless the king's health and health, and may the king's prestige and grace shine on the entire grassland forever! ”
Tie Xin V seemed to come back to his senses at this time, his face was neither sad nor joyful, and his voice was flat: "Excuse me!" ”
Tegel barely straightened his waist at this time, and he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his head, he just wanted to get out of this royal tent as soon as possible! "The Great Wisdom King summoned the small people to come, but what is there to serve the small people?"
"This king will go straight to the ground, tomorrow is the time for this king to sacrifice the flag and swear and go out to fight the human race! I don't know if you want to use that dragon to sacrifice my warriors, to bathe my warriors with dragon blood, to mask my war drums with dragon skins, to make drums with dragon bones, and to reward my warriors with dragon meat. ”
When Tegel heard Tie Xin V say this, he was struck by lightning and immediately stood on the spot. Because Dilong Kaka is not only his grandfather's lifesaver, the family has gone from poverty to a small surplus over the years, and it is completely dependent on going to clean Dilong twice a year to get some benefits. And in order to keep this secret at home, since the ancestors, they don't use adults to see the dragon, just because the child running around the mountains will not arouse the suspicion of others, but I didn't expect it to be discovered. What's more, Dilong is so gentle and kind, how can he bear to let him fall to the fate of being slaughtered and dismembered. This is not only against one's conscience, but also revenge.
Seeing Tegel's reaction, Tie Xin V knew that sure enough, the Terran merchant did not deceive himself in order to survive, and the Tegel family really found the Earth Dragon. But seeing that Tegel did not agree to his request, he was a little angry, but when he came to see that he was still a half-grown child, and he remembered the usual way of his old father, the anger on his face came and went faster.
"Now is the critical moment for the survival of our orc race, and the king's father and your grandparents are willing to give up their lives for the survival of the tribe. As a member of the tribe, are you willing to watch your father die in battle, and you are willing to see your mother and brother become slaves of the human race because of the defeat? Earth dragon or tribe, it is difficult to choose one of the two, you have to think about it yourself and then make a decision! ”
Tie Xin V's words seem to be very reasonable, Tegel is only a half-old child after all, especially thinking of the scene where his grandparents left, and even more thinking of the battlefield that his father is going to, how can he not want his father to fall on the battlefield because of this, let alone his relatives to become slaves of the human race! In the ideological struggle, family affection decisively prevailed, and after pondering for a long time, he spoke painfully: "Yes, the king, Tegel did find a place for the earth dragon, but the earth dragon was very friendly and gentle, and Tiger begged the king not to hurt his life!" ”
Say, get down on your knees, and prostrate yourself on the ground" Tegel begged the king not to hurt him! ”
Tie Xin V looked angry and shouted: "Confused! Our fathers could lay down their lives just to save us a pitiful ration, and we were about to carry our heads into battle to fight bloodily, just to bring back the rations needed for the survival of the tribe. Our lives, the lives of thousands of tribes, are not as good as the lives of an earth dragon? Isn't your affection for your parents and brothers and your feelings for your clan as good as your feelings for an earth dragon?! ”
Tegel was ashamed of Tie Xin V's righteous and stern reprimand! "Yes, King, Tiger is confused for a moment, and Tiger is willing to give everything he knows to the King! Tegel is also willing to give everything for his family, for his clan, and for the king! ”
Only then did Tie Xin V show a smile on his face: "This is the decision and responsibility that the little warrior of my orc tribe should have!" Arif, give wine and meat to the little warriors! “
The guards who had led Tiger into the account brought two large bowls of milk wine and a plate of meat, and bowed down in front of Tegel.
Tegel repeatedly excused himself, but Tie Xin V smiled and said: "How can a warrior of my orc clan be like a girl, drink a lot of wine, eat a lot of meat, and live a happy life, he is a real warrior!" Tegel, the eagle always has to spread its wings, there is always a first time in life, come, drink! ”
Tegel couldn't push it, so he had to hold up a bowl of milk wine, hold his breath and drink it all! The milk wine was so strong that it burned like a flame from the throat all the way down, and the stomach was about to vomit when it twitched. Tie Xin V laughed and said: "Good Tegel, this is the real man on the grassland, this is the real warrior of my orc tribe!" Come, eat meat! ”
Tegel grabbed a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, one was that he hadn't eaten enough in days, and the other was that he needed something to squeeze the wine in his stomach!
After two bowls of wine and a plate of meat, Tegel, who was strong in wine, was induced to explain everything about the earth dragon clearly and clearly! But he didn't think about it at all, why did Tie Xin V choose him when he could have asked about his father?
Tegel got drunk quickly, and after a while he was so drunk that he fell asleep on the carpet. But Tishin V instructed Arif: "Go find an empty tent for him to sleep in, and send a letter to his house, saying only that the king appreciates him very much, and that he will stay in the king's tent tonight and return it to-morrow." By the way, let's cancel the other arrangements! “
Arif agreed.
