Chapter 23: The Poet and the Warrior Monk
Her mouth was still so poisonous. - The orc warrior monk couldn't help but think to himself.
It even sounds more poisonous than ever...... But it seems like it's just for me?
Why is that? Could it be that I had amnesia before, and I owe her a lot of money before I lost my memory?
And now she calls me a Golem, from a "Golem with a Brain" to a "Golem in Common"? What is it that makes my impression worse in her eyes?
Stone Fist looked at the crow sparrow calmly on the surface, although he expected that he would have to suffer another sour meal that he could not retaliate for, but he did not expect that Miss Poet's hot sneer at him seemed to have risen to the length of the sentence.
This made the green-skinned orc monk stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, and instead of trying to fight back, he chose to ask, "Do you remember what happened on the ship?" ”
He was self-aware, and knew that fighting with this poet lady with a poisonous tongue was tantamount to bringing humiliation on himself, so he felt that it was enough to ask her the questions in his heart.
The idea of the warrior monk is wise. Miss Poet's eyes closed under the hood of the black robe, the corners of her upturned mouth seemed to outline a sneer, and her hoarse voice asked rhetorically in a sneering tone: "Sword and sail?" ”
"Yes."
Fist of Stone admits that the heart says have we been on other boats recently?
"A lot happened that night, and I even found time to write a little poem before the snake man Naga attacked." Raven continued walking, chatting with him as she went, "So I don't know what you're talking about?" Or do you want to hear my poems? ”
"Thanks, but no more." The orc politely refused, "I'm just curious, you shook your head at me at the time, does that mean anything?" ”
"I'm making fun of you, Golem." Miss Poet did not beat around the bush, "You are inferior to our mad dog, or you are inferior to him in the first place." ”
"In terms of combat, I admit that the captain is better than me." The orc monk nodded, "But that's not what you're referring to, I can hear that. ”
"Then I'll make it clear." Miss Poet continued, "I feel cowardice in you, nerd. ”
Nerd?
New nicknames. Which is more damaging than the Golem?
Stone Fist's thoughts interrupted coldly.
However, he has not grasped the key point in this sentence.
Cowardly?
"In that case, what is the specific manifestation of that cowardice?" He thought about it, and felt that he ignored the provocative element in the other party's words, and he was almost used to it anyway, "If you are willing to bring it up, I will be grateful to you and try to overcome my weakness." ”
"Your berserk abilities." Raven Bird replied without hesitation, but also without excitement, "Why didn't you dare to use the power that orc blood gave you?" Why don't you dare to take it? ”
"That's my dark side."
"How dark is it? Isn't it scary? ”
“…… It's scary. Stonefist hesitated, "As you saw that night, in our battle with Entropy in that church, when the killing ** in the orc blood boiled, I would be dominated by that urge to kill. ”
"But in fact, I didn't notice that you were being dominated. You were doing pretty well, and the crucial blow you gave to that Tieflin was probably an extraordinary performance for a golem. ”
Can't you honestly praise me for playing well?
Although my practice is not for the sake of being praised......
Stone Fist blinked, his gaze moved back from the small side face under the hood of the crow's finch to the front of his vision, and explained with a light sigh, "That's just because I was physically exhausted at the time. If not, you'll see the golem in your mouth turn his fist toward his companion with red eyes in the next second. ”
"Sounds like a tragedy like this has happened before?"
"Yes, it happened before...... If you can, I hope you don't ask questions. ”
"Then let me see what your future holds, warrior monk." The drow poet's sneer slowly retracted under the brim of the hood, and there was a strange mockery in his tone, "You are a foolish fighter, but if the fool carries through his stubbornness to the end of the journey, then he is a respectable fool." ”
After saying that, she also took her eyes back.
The orc warrior monk was suddenly surprised.
What did she just call me? Warrior monk?
Not a golem or a nerd?
It's really strange......
Of course, the episodes in the journey are not entirely focused on the middle and tail of the procession. At the front of the squad's formation, Bellinglith, a dwarf girl who is a scout, has a pair of reliable eyes and ears that do not let go of any suspicious sounds.
The little girl's personality may be a bit reckless, but her sensual acumen and skill are worthy of Gloriden's recommendation.
Koto concentrated, the thick fog on the island made the warriors of the clan feel insecure, and he did not dare to relax the guard he was carrying out at the moment. Urs gave him the task of protecting the scouts, a duty that he considered to be a matter of dignity as a warrior, and considered it a remiss to say that a good warrior could not even protect his companions.
Anyway, the Hearthfire clan was like that in the battle on the plateau. For some reason, his memories of his past were a little vague, like the dense fog on this island, as hazy as fog and dreams, but he definitely remembered that even if the warriors of the clan risked their lives, they would use their bodies as a shield in an emergency to block a fatal blow for their recognized companions.
Even if the monsters you face are an army of extremely brutal frost giants, or even dragons, the kind of evil dragons with white scales and a temperament as violent as beasts!
"Well, if only I hadn't run away and had chosen to fight with everyone......" Thinking about it, the nostalgia for his hometown evoked a trace of remorse in the dwarf's heart. Koto didn't understand why he suddenly thought like this, but he just felt a sense of regret in his eyes.
He fled at that time - although His Majesty the King of the clan ordered him to flee, but why was it himself?
Is there anything different about yourself and other people?
“…… Not? Not good! The warriors of the clan actually got distracted during the mission! ”
The foot board stepped on a small rock protruding from the dirt through the sole of the combat boot, and the dwarven warrior's thoughts were immediately pulled back to reality by the touch under his feet, and the brow under the horn helmet suddenly furrowed, and the words of self-reflection accidentally blurted out of his mouth.
Although it wasn't loud and the others behind him didn't seem to hear it, it inevitably caught Belllith's attention.
The little dwarf girl is the new scout of the group, and her eyes and ears are pointed.
Then the little girl stopped, her light brown eyes followed the little head that accompanied the glance back, and turned to look at the dwarven warrior who was responsible for protecting her......
