Chapter 24: Asking for a Map

The people in the tent sat down one by one. It's just that what is different from before is that at this time, the thoughts of everyone in the tent have changed, and the atmosphere has become slightly different.

Zheng Ming, who was high on the main throne, looked at the expressions of the people below with great interest, among which the old goblin priest stayed for the longest time.

The old Goblin Priest is strong. It was so strong that Zheng Ming's means at this time had no way to take the other party. If you change to another form with attack power, you may even be killed by the opponent's attack called "Scorching Flame" in seconds.

Thankfully, the other party was shocked by Zheng Ming's defensive power that was disproportionate to the attack, and at this time he became extremely respectful, and even put away some tentative small movements.

Seeing that he had successfully fooled this group of goblins, Zheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up at the same time. The real key lies in the fact that it has to make some excessively unreasonable demands without really forcing the other side to the point of resistance.

After all, if you are too easy-going, they will think that you are kind and deceitful, and the majesty of the strong man that you have built up with great difficulty will collapse. And if you are too harsh, they will rise up again, causing the true strength comparison to be exposed and eventually losing all the previous achievements.

Fear the strong, be exploited to be at ease, and at the same time unwilling to be overly oppressed. That's roughly the case with intelligent beings.

It is necessary not only to constantly exert pressure to aggravate the impression that they dare not resist in their hearts, but also to prevent them from jumping off the wall in a hurry. Among them, the intrigue and the difficulty of controlling the heat in it, Zheng Ming knows it.

Thinking of this, it smiled at the old goblin priest who had been stared at his forehead like a pin, and then said, "It seems that your skin color is related to the previous fire attack." ”

"Your Excellency is wise. The villain is naturally close to the fire element, and part of his skin color is natural, and a greater part is due to cultivation. ”

"You're good. You're supposed to be the best here, right? What is your name? ”

"Back to my lord. The villain's name is Sabiduria. ”

"What...... What the? Stupid and indecent? ”

Zheng Ming's exclamation and strange eyes made the old goblin priest vaguely feel that something was wrong, and he corrected the pronunciation and explained the meaning of the name.

"It's Sabidou; Leah. In our language it means wisdom. ”

"Oh. It's hard to remember. I'll call you Leah from now on. ”

After Zheng Ming finished speaking, he ignored Leah, who was smiling wryly, and looked at the goblin village chief.

"What about you? What's your name? ”

Village Chief: "My lord." In the village, only the priests and priests who were in charge of knowledge had names. ”

Zheng Ming: "Oh? Then you don't have any names? ”

Village Chief: "Yes, sir. ”

Zheng Ming: "Isn't that inconvenient?" How do you tell the difference? ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's words, the village chief showed a puzzled look, and said as a matter of course: "No? It is easy to distinguish by appearance, position, and deeds. ”

Looking at the green-skinned goblins below, and then thinking of the poor and narrow village on the other side, Zheng Ming suddenly realized. The other party obviously does not have a highly developed civilization, and it seems normal to have no name?

You must know that in the previous life, even if you entered the stage of feudal society, there were many civilians who did not have a name and a nickname.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ming was no longer entangled in the question of names, and after a deep sigh, he asked the purpose of his trip.

"Do you know the route to the human city? Is there a map of the distribution of forces to get there? ”

Hearing its question, everyone in the tent looked at the old goblin priest Leah, and Zheng Ming followed suit.

I saw Leah groan for a while and then said respectfully, "Your Excellency, you are laughing. We're just a bunch of weak goblins, and we're trying our best to survive even if we live in a lonely group. How is it possible to have a map to a human city? ”

"Oh? So you've never been in contact with other forces in the outside world? Even the distribution of forces around it is not clear, how to survive? ”

"Please forgive me. It's just that we're too incompetent. But ......"

Seeing that Leah paused in the middle of speaking, Zheng Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

"But what? Keep talking! ”

"But if it's a small topographic map of the vicinity, we still have it."

"Good. Didn't you say you were going to compensate me before? I'm not going to snatch your map, just draw me another map. ”

"This ......"

"What? No way? Are you going to break your word and get fat? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's just a matter of days to redraw a map......"

"Hahaha, no hurry, no hurry. You can draw it. It just so happens that we need to take a break too. When the drawing is finished, let's go again. ”

"Yes. The villain commanded. Cisco Ut is very important, you can do it. ”

Leah glanced at the young goblin beside him, and the other quickly got up and left.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip was successful, Zheng Ming was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Hahaha~ Okay." Eat, everyone eats. ”

So this banquet continued happily under Zheng Ming's hustle and bustle.......

The feast ended quickly, and night fell.

Zheng Ming walked out of the tent let by the village chief and jumped onto the roof.

The goblin dwellers on the streets have returned to their homes. Only the goblin patrol occasionally walked by on the street, casting a look of awe at Zheng Ming and leaving his back in the distance.

There was no recreation in the backward and humble villages, and the fires in the tents were extinguished one after another. It can be seen that on this night when the moon has just risen, the villagers began to go to bed early to rest.

There is no all-night bonfire party as Zheng Ming imagined, and there is no lively atmosphere. The village seems to fall asleep with the sunset, a silence, a little boring.

However, it is precisely because of this that Zheng Ming was able to enjoy this peaceful atmosphere, quietly enjoying the beautiful night view and the bright starry sky.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, swaying down the faint moonlight. The stars in the sky were shining brightly as if they were trying to vent their frustration at being obscured by the full moon.

They all radiated brilliant starlight, swearing their existence like mischievous children blinking desperately.

Suddenly, Zheng Ming, who was looking up at the starry sky alone, heard a strange sound behind him, and he hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from. But it was Lucy who jumped on the roof.

Under Zheng Ming's gaze, Lucy walked up to it and lay down a palm away.

One palm, that is, a distance of ten or twenty centimeters! But the meaning it represents made Zheng Ming's heart ache.

Originally, it was all affectionately holding itself, or putting itself under it!

Seeing Lucy lying quietly on her stomach without speaking, it forced a smile.

"What's wrong? Can't give up on me so soon? Running over and staying with me? ”

Lucy was noncommittal to Zheng Ming's half-joking words, it just stared at it calmly.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zheng Ming's heart sank with it.

Suddenly, Lucy spoke. It's not like it's the usual lightness or anger, with a distinctly emotional tone.

Zheng Ming could feel the doubts deliberately suppressed in the other party's tone.

"Xiao Ming. I really can't read you. ”

Lucy's calm words drilled into his ears, and Zheng Ming put away the cynical smile on his face.
