Chapter 14: What do I do without water?
Murphy lay lazily at the bottom of the pool, no longer as excited as he had been. There are many of them, and they are all cultivating in the pool.
"Alas...... The water will evaporate in three days at most. We're going to soak here for the next three days, let's absorb as much as we can......" Seeing that he couldn't stop the flow of the pool, Murphy quickly adjusted back from his negative emotions. After all, there is a source of water that is constantly generating water flow.
"It's just that after pulling the lamp this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to steal water next time."
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
A skeleton mage who was maintaining the Tower of Thunder came in to report that an elf was shouting outside the tower for Murphy to go out to meet him.
Murphy was taken aback, "So fast!" Pull the lamp and find it? He hurried out of the water and walked out. Sure enough, before I went out, I heard the lantern outside the tower shouting: "Murphy, you come out for me!" ”
Murphy greeted him, but before he could speak. He was only to hear the lantern shouting to him, "What about your abominable chief, Murphy?" Where are you hiding? Hurry up and get him out to see me. Stealing my water and ruining my garden, I have to ask him what he means. ”
Murphy was almost embarrassed to admit that he was Murphy for a while, and finally said stubbornly: "I am Murphy when I pull the lamp." ”
Pull the lamp looked at the skeleton in front of him with suspicion. "You're Murphy? It wouldn't be Murphy, he didn't have the face to see me, so he just found a skeleton to take the cylinder for him! ”
If it weren't for the fact that Murphy was a lich and didn't have such a thing as a cheek, I'm afraid his face would be red by now. Of course, not ashamed, but angry. Murphy deliberately let go of his momentum and said viciously, "Then you should believe me!" ”
La Lan felt the familiar aura on the skeleton in front of him, and immediately affirmed that the skeleton in front of him was Murphy himself. Embarrassed, he said, "I believe it!" Believed! I'm sorry, Murphy. I don't recognize you without clothes. ”
Only then did Murphy realize that he had just come out in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put on his magic robe.
"You must know that you lichs and skeleton soldiers all look the same. You don't wear magic robes, and I don't recognize you. Unless you can look like the mayor of the town, it's very special. Pull the lamp continued to babble explain.
"Well, it's not your fault. I'll go back if it's okay. Murphy waved his hand to show that he didn't take it to heart. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the Tower of Thunder.
"Wait!" Behind him came the sound of pulling the lamp.
"Alas...... Sure enough, it's not so easy to fool the past. Murphy slowly turned around.
"Murphy, you stole my spring water last night and destroyed my garden!"
Murphy decisively won't admit his guilt. "What spring? What garden? I've been experimenting in the lab last night! Yase also knows this. ”
Pulling the lamp and looking at the stupid pretending to be in front of him, 3 black lines appeared on his head. "The whole town, except for the mayor, is just us two townspeople. And yesterday you asked me for spring water, and today there is two-thirds less water in the moat. And the mess in my garden is definitely not caused by one or two people. Who else but you and your men will be in the town? ”
"Hey, only two-thirds less? I remember it all last night! Murphy made a slip of the tongue and told the truth.
"Sure enough, it's you!" The lantern suddenly burst into flames.
Murphy saw that it was wrong, and immediately turned around and fled into the Tower of Thunder.
He didn't expect Murphy to be so decisive, so he had to shout at Murphy's back: "Don't you want to steal a drop of spring water from me in the future!" Then he left in a huff.
Murphy went back to the basement and lay down in the pool. "This time it's over, and sure enough, I was found by pulling the lamp. Forget it, there are only two townspeople in the town, me and him, and I didn't want to hide it from him. It's just that this time I'm afraid it will be difficult to get water again! ”
Soon three days passed. The water in the pool has also bottomed out. Murphy sat in a large wooden barrel and looked at the only half bucket of water left in the barrel, and his heart was at war. In the end, it was the desire to advance that prevailed.
"La Lantern was so angry last time, and he took the initiative to ask him for water, and he would definitely not give it to me. I'll pick it up again tonight, and even if I don't get it in the future, I won't steal it. ”
The moon is shining tonight, and it is still the main road in the middle, and it is still the strange team. However, the whole team seems to be less mysterious and solemn, and more sneaky and obscene.
"Pull the lantern must be prepared this time, you must be careful. Don't let him find out! Murphy admonished the group.
No one in the team spoke back to him. It's just that the knight's body is lower, and the speed of the team has become slower. But no matter how slow it is, it will reach its destination.
Murphy looked out in the distance at the garden of the giant bull with the lantern drawn. "Except for an extra ring of fences, nothing seems to have changed?" Murphy took a closer look again, "No! He saw an extra ring of trees in the inner ring of the moat, at the foot of the bull.
"Shhh......h Watch the Ancient Tree! Don't you want to be so ruthless! It's still ten ancient trees, and it's enough to fight a small-scale offensive and defensive battle. ”
"I'm here anyway, I've got to take something with me!" Murphy decided to test the garden's defenses first. He suppressed the magic he had unleashed, and it took him 10 times longer to summon a lowest-level skeleton soldier.
"Go ahead! Work secretly, don't make a noise. Murphy commanded the skeletons to quietly move towards the Bull's Garden, where the lantern was drawn.
30 m ...... 20 m ...... 10 m ......
"Whoa......" A terrible scream resounded through the garden. Then 10 balls of earth elemental balls resembling boulders slammed their heads and faces at the skeletons.
"Boom!" Murphy looked at the small mushroom cloud in the distance, and the fire of his soul burst out of his eyes. They quietly took a step back.
"Humph! I caught you this time! The lantern suddenly appeared in front of Murphy.
"What catches? I just went out on patrol with Ase for the safety of the town. I happened to be passing by you, do you have any questions? Murphy turned on the foolish mode again.
What greeted him was a disdainful look from the lantern, "Could it be that the undead patrol has the habit of carrying two large vats?" ”
"Forehead......" The soul fire in Murphy's eyes flickered, "You also know that our undead have a habit of collecting bones, in fact, these two large vats are used to collect bones, yes. ”
Pulling the lamp was almost choked by Murphy's anger and internal injuries. "You...... You...... Still shameless? ”
Murphy touched his cheek bone and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, we undead don't have such a thing as a face. ”
“……”
"Anyway, don't try to steal a drop of water from me." Pull the lamp said viciously. "See." Pulling the lamp and pointing to the fence in the garden, "This is what I have done specifically for your 'midnight rooster crow' who comes to steal water in the middle of the night." ”
Murphy took a closer look at the fence, and sure enough, it was made up of vines. It's just that at the top of each vine it doesn't shrink into a thin tip like a normal vine, but it swells up and becomes something like a chicken with an open mouth. If Ao Liao is present, he will definitely recognize it, is this clearly a plant version of "screaming chicken"!
"As soon as you get within 10 meters of it, it will let out a terrible scream, alerting me that someone is stealing water again." Pull the lamp squinted at the pretended calm Murphy. "Watch the ancient tree, you saw it too. But I still have hidden 'man-eating flowers' in my garden, and of course my makeovers and its current recipe is bones. There's also a flip trap full of 'Bone Grass Juice', and if the skeleton falls, hehe. There's also the 'Vampire Vine', but now it prefers to suck bone marrow, and ......"
"Okay, how can you give me water?" Murphy knew that there was no chance of stealing spring water from the garden with the lantern pulled out of it, except for a hard robbery.
"No, don't even think about a drop of water until you find out if the spring water is really harmless to the undead."
"I've been lying in the water for three days, don't you think there's nothing wrong with me?" Murphy explained eagerly.
It's okay not to explain, but as soon as I explained, the lamp suddenly became angry again.
"No, no!" After saying that, he ignored Murphy and teleported back to the palace.
Murphy looked at the heavily guarded, murderous garden in front of him. There was silence for a while, and finally I had to leave in disgrace.
