"Oh, really?" The goblin still looked at Locke vigilantly, and he pointed to the female mage behind Locke and said, "Working with this woman?" Then I'd better get out of here! ”

Olivia's eyes narrowed again in an instant, and Locke could feel that the air behind her was beginning to turn cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Legion Commander, the tea is ready." Outside the town hall, the sound of soldiers was heard.

"Please come in!"

Locke beckoned, and a guard walked in with three cups of tea and placed them on the table. The guards bowed to them and left.

"Come on, don't engage in these verbal wars." Locke beckoned them all to do it. "Taste the tea leaves made from the branches and leaves of the World Tree in the Night Elf World on the continent of Kalimdor."

Locke brought a cup to one of them, "This thing may make your temper temper change." ”

Originally, they didn't care a little, but when they heard Locke talk about the tea leaves of the World Tree, they became cautious.

Olivia picked up the teacup and sniffed the scent, her face soothed, and then took a sip gently, intoxicated by the taste of the tea.

Compared to the suave of the female mage, the goblin first looked at Locke suspiciously, and then he took out a small silver rod from his body, and there was a wire on the end of the silver rod that was linked to a meter in his hand. He spun the silver stick around the tea, checking the swaying of the pointer on the meter.

The pointer on the meter didn't shake violently, it still stayed in place, and the goblin breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the teacup and smelled the tea, and then his face immediately changed, and he drank the tea into his stomach as if he were drinking.

"My lord, now I'm sure you won't send me into the hands of Master Dalaran." Goblin Gates recalls the taste of tea, and this sentence has been popping up for a long time.

"This kind of tea is not something that ordinary people can enjoy. When I was still in Dalaran, I had the privilege of drinking this tea at the Kenrito Council. And this tea belonged to Archmage Antonidas, and the way he obtained this tea was given by Lady Tyrande, the leader of the current Night Elves. The taste is exactly the same! ”

The goblin's face flushed slightly.

"This kind of tea contains life energy, but it is a good thing for our mage," Olivia also reminisced about the mellow aroma of the tea.

"With the tea in the hands of the legion leader, you can summon some mages to work for you."

"As we all know, we mages use magical energy to kill and injure our enemies." Seeing that Locke was a little confused, Olivia tried to give Locke a simple explanation.

"But when these magical energies flow through our bodies, they can also cause some damage to our bodies due to their great power. Over the years, our otherwise healthy health will get worse and worse. The various organs in the body will also be corroded by the magical energy, and gradually weaken. ”

"And the best way to stop this magic is these teas." Olivia Mage pointed to the tea leaves in her teacup. "These teas contain the life energy of the World Tree, which can effectively delay the rate of magic erosion in our bodies and repair our bodies to a certain extent. If we don't want to end up being corrupted by more and more powerful magic and leaving this world. Then these things containing life energy are needed to resist the increasingly powerful magic in the body. ”

"That's why, the more powerful a mage, the greater the difference between his appearance and ordinary people." Olivia shrugged, "Of course, even if our mages reach the end of their bodies, there are other ways to continue their lives, but this method is not recognized by us humans, and Dalaran does not allow it. ”

"Well, regarding the issue of tea, I'll figure it out, Mage Olivia. Once we're all settled here, I'll make a trip to the realm of the Night Elves to ask for their help. ”

Mage Olivia doesn't say tea for no reason, so she probably wants to get it and use it to repair the magic erosion of her body.

"Thank you so much, Legionnaire." Olivia's mage bowed happily to Locke, this is to lean against the tree to enjoy the shade. If it's a wandering mage, it doesn't have such a good resource.

Next to him, Goblin Mage Gates looked at Olivia with some envy, it was obvious that the lord in front of him was indeed a generous lord, at least he was willing to go to those lonely Night Elves for tea for the sake of his mages.

"Ahem," Gates coughed, drawing Locke's attention.

"My lord, if you don't mind my past. I'll stay there for you. All you need to do is cover me with a standard laboratory and the tea, and I'll keep you coming up with all sorts of new inventions! ”

"Good! There's no problem with that. I don't want you to blow my town to smithereens, though! Inform me in advance of any new inventions you have. After Locke finished talking to Gates, he turned to Olivia and said, "It's best not to mention Mr. Gates's past to outsiders." Now, he's one of us, and we can discuss anything. ”

Olivia's female mage gave Gates a blank look, and she turned to Locke and said, "I reserve my opinion, Legion Commander. Some of his research was very dangerous for Dalaran at the time. If you really want to keep him, it's best to build his lab away from town. ”

"Okay! I'll do it. Locke let go of his nervousness. He was really afraid that Mage Olivia would not want to keep the goblins, and if that was the case, for the sake of the unity and stability of his subordinates, he could only let Ronin take him away.

"Guards! Guardsman! ”

"Legion Commander, please command!"

"Take our Gates mage to the hotel in town and settle in." Locke commanded, and he turned his head to look at the goblin, "Master Gates, you stay at the hotel first." Tomorrow I will send someone to contact you and build you a laboratory. In this way, you can research with peace of mind, and I will take care of all the costs of R&D materials you need. ”

"Thank you so much! Your Lord! Gates said with some surprise, bowing respectfully to Locke and following the guards out.

"I'm bothering you these days, Mage Olivia." Locke turned to the mage and admonished, "Keep an eye on him from now on, and don't let him notice until he's completely integrated into us." Now, he's important to us. ”

"Alright, Legion Commander." Olivia, though reluctantly, took on the task.

※※※

It's been more than three days since the goblin mage joined the crusaders.

The weather in the Silver Pine Forest suddenly turned gloomy, and the sky began to pile up dense white clouds again.

It's going to snow again.

There are only two days left until the Winter Veil Festival. In the town of Iva Township, families are holding green and red ribbons on their doorsteps to celebrate this year's Winter Veil Festival.

In the town, a caravan arrived. They brought with them a large number of Winter Veil items to sell here; Winter grandpa's costumes, Winter Veil Festival sweets, Winter Veil Festival streamers, they are right in the center of the town, and a large number of people visit every day.

No, Locke was also brought out by Bridgetra, saying that he was buying some items for the Winter Veil Festival.

Lately, Locke has been in a state of agitation. Seeing that two months are about to pass, and the goods and food that Zacks said have not yet arrived. And on this day, according to the soldiers in the handle town, the number of civilians entering Iva will now reach 70,000! And this number is still climbing up fast!

The survival of more than 70,000 people weighed on Locke like a mountain, although the logistics officer Shiloh organized them to work every day, allowing them to improve the public facilities in the town of Iva and improve the infrastructure in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest in exchange for two meals a day.

But now, it is clear that the Crusaders are overwhelmed. Creatures such as wolves, brown bears, fawns and rabbits, which are everywhere in the woodlands, have been lost. And on the seaside, there are a limited number of fishermen, and the speed of their fishing is not enough to keep up with the speed of consumption.

If Zax, the goblin, doesn't come back, then Locke is really going bankrupt here.

Bridget walked ahead of Locke, walking quickly towards the caravan in the middle of the town. She walked a long way before she saw that Locke behind her was still walking slowly, frowning.

"Now, don't frown. Be happy, you're the head of the place, the leader of all! A big hero in people's hearts! Your frowning will make everyone's hearts uneasy. ”

Locke looked up at Bridget, who looked at him with a grin, and he couldn't help but furrow as he looked at the civilians around him who were smiling and saluting him.

That's right, I can't do that. My words and actions now affect their mood.

Locke stretched out his hand and stroked his face, and his otherwise serious face immediately became gentle.

"That's right! That's it! Be happy, we've been busy for so long, it's time to relax. Bridget grabbed Locke's hand and walked forward, her words coming from the front, "Don't worry! I do it, Nolis can't see it! She's also spying on the Forsaken from far away in Lordaeron. ”

Norris had gone the other day around the ruins of Lordaeron, where there was a surveillance camp where scouts had been stationed for a long time. The Fifth Army must intensify its surveillance of the Forsaken to see where they are going to strike next.

"Come and buy it! Come and see! Gnome delicious nutritious sugar! From snowy Nomorigan! It's the best candy! Eating one will keep you entertained all day long! A dwarf's delicious nutritious candy only costs one copper coin! Buy 5 get 1 free! Buy 10 get 3 free! ”

"Honey-grilled holiday ham, delicious and delicious, come and buy it." One only costs 15 copper coins, yes! You read that right! Just 15 copper coins and honey-roasted festive ham can be taken home! What can you do with 15 copper coins?! Only three loaves of bread can be bought! And now! The honey-roasted festive ham that our caravan brought only costs 15 copper coins! Yes, only 15 copper coins! Not 25 copper coins! ”
