Chapter 45: Tomorrow, Everyone, Please Be Early
"The gloom that has shrouded the kobolds has lifted, Count Anduin, you have defused a catastrophe for us!"
The kobold diviner put down the crystal ball and breathed a sigh of relief, the appearance of the doom mole often brings great disasters, but fortunately, Anduin broke the evil plan of the demon warlock Lynn by chance, which allowed the kobold territory under the jurisdiction of the geodiviner to avoid the catastrophe crisis that was close at hand.
"Lynn, the Demon Warlock, has always been shrouded in Twilight of Fate, and I can't use the crystal ball to find her traces, and she used the space cube to deceive our eyes."
The old kobold earth diviner, holding the exploration log returned by Anduin, finally mentioned the reward issue he was most concerned about, "Since the crisis has been resolved by the earl, there is no need to buy excessive resources, those crystals will be my thanks, and in a while, His Majesty will come here to inspect the territory, and at that time, I will introduce you." ”
Anduin gladly agreed, he already planned to open up the underground market of the kobold kingdom as soon as possible, and at the same time, he obtained the consent of the geodiviner to exchange most of the gold coins in the badge for 1,500 crystals, which not only offset the consumption, but also made him a lot of money, which was a perfect end to this sudden underground adventure.
It's also worth mentioning that the kobold road builders who tried to rescue Anduin were indeed transferred to other places by the Rubik's Cube reduction, and are now rushing back little by little by bombing the rock mass.
When he returned to the manor, there was already a light in the sky, and Sonia sat by the fire, waiting for him to appear, as for Jenny the turtle, he had already shrunk into the turtle shell and fell asleep, muttering from time to time: "Delicious...... Delicious ......."
"If you're any late, I'll be looking for you underground."
Sonia said softly, Anduin returned the concealment cloak to her, and roughly told her about the adventure, hearing Sonia's eyes show joy, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that danger lurked around us, thanks to your great fortune, and thanks to the little turtle's accurate prediction, otherwise the result would be unimaginable." ”
"Who said it wasn't, I thought it was just an ordinary underground expedition, who knew it would run into that kind of old monster, but fortunately this little guy didn't make a mistake, otherwise I would have ......"
"Don't eat me! Big Baddies...... Don't eat me! The meat of the Ancestral Turtle is not delicious, so if you want to eat it, you can eat it delicious young lady......"
The sleeping Jenny turtle seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly dreamed, which made Sonia can't help but laugh, and Anduin woke it up angrily, and threatened viciously: "Now there are two good news and one bad news, which one are you going to listen to first?" ”
The little turtle rubbed his eyes, finally saw Anduin's appearance clearly, and suddenly screamed: "Sister help......"
Sonia also played tricks, and deliberately said: "You want the big bad guy to eat me, I won't save you." ”
"Hehe, without a savior, you better accept your fate obediently!" Anduin flicked his brain lightly, "Speak quickly, which one to listen to first?" ”
The little turtle hugged his head with tears in his eyes: "Listen first...... Listen to the bad first! ”
"Yo Roar, you're really not an ordinary turtle!" Anduin put it on the ground and said condescendingly, "The bad news is that you help me prophesy again, and if you're wrong, you should know your fate." ”
The little turtle couldn't help but look at the steaming fire, couldn't help but hug his little buttocks, and protested pitifully: "Even if you hire child labor, you have to let the family rest!" ”
Anduin waved his hand: "I don't care!" The first piece of good news is that I have been merciful enough to give you the name Jenny, so from now on you will be called Jenny Turtle! ”
Sonia was a little curious about the origin of the name, and Anduin fooled around, and then heard Jenny Turtle say sadly, "What kind of good news is this?" ”
Anduin didn't care what it thought, and then took out the [Khadgar's Divination Orb], which had done great things, and asked: "This thing can enhance the prophecy effect, how about you try it, don't say that I am difficult to be strong in the future, otherwise maybe one day, a soup called steamed Jenny turtle will be added to the recipe." ”
"After talking for a long time, I still don't let the family have a good rest."
Boss Jenny Turtle reluctantly took the blue pointer, and immediately began to shake his head, Anduin and Sonia couldn't understand what it was doing, but suddenly found that it had buckled the divination pointer in the middle of the abdominal armor, and said very stinky and beautiful, "Beautiful, right?" ”
"What's the use of looking good? You prophesy me now, will anyone come to send money today! ”
Anduin was angry and sent another brain meltdown, and Jenny Turtle was very sad to get down to business, and slowly got out, very shy with his legs between his legs, and shouted childishly while turning the turtle shell: "The power of the turtle!" ”
As the words fell, the mysterious runes on the turtle shell flashed with multicolored brilliance, and then only a light golden color was left, having had previous experience, Anduin and Sonia both knew that gold represented wealth, but the hotel was open, and there were a lot of customers every day, so this phenomenon did not bring many surprises, but focused on what special role the divination pointer had.
Jenny Turtle pinched his chin, pretending to think for a moment, and finally realized something, rotated the direction of the pointer a little bit, and finally faced the rune that released the golden light, and then the mutation suddenly appeared, and several figures appeared in the golden light, Anduin immediately saw that the first person was Jones, the vice president of the explorers, and he just wanted to take a look at the surrounding environment, Jenny Turtle lay on the ground because of his physical strength, sticking out his tongue and panting, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Hungry ......"
This time, Anduin didn't tease the little guy anymore, and Sonia met and smiled, so he took a freshly baked meat bun, and Jenny Turtle, which was not much bigger than the bun, sat happily on the turtle shell, hugged the bun and ate it, and didn't forget to comment when he was happy: "This is delicious, as delicious as my sister!" Big villain, you can eat this in the future, don't try to eat me...... Well, eat Jenny Turtle! ”
"What do you call me?"
"Hmm......" Jenny asked cautiously, "Lord Earl?" Your Excellency? ”
"It's up to you!"
Anduin waved his hand, got up and prepared to open his door, and by the way, he helped Gourmet No. 1 make all kinds of xiaolongbao, he had already guessed that Jones would return today, and he estimated that he would arrive in a while.
……
When the morning sun was no longer in the east, and a group of fast horses appeared at the edge of the town, Jones exhaled a cold breath and said to one of his companions: "Nilasek, you need to practice your swift skills again, and if Archbishop Kidd is present, we will be there last night!" ”
The white-robed man known as Niracek shook his head and smiled: "If I could reach the height of Archbishop Kidd, I wouldn't have joined the Explorers' Guild, Chief, is the Hearthstone Inn you mentioned really in the Earl's Manor?" Why is it dark there, and you are not ready to open the door? ”
Jones also frowned, early in the morning was the coldest time, and he couldn't rush to the door, so he simply rushed directly to the ruins of the church, temporarily sheltering from the wind, and at the same time, let the professionals under his command confirm his accidental discovery.
"I can tell you that the boss promised us to set up a branch, not to eat and drink in the shop of the Earl of Anduin, but to have a big mission! I'm sure you've heard that the vicinity of Stormwind Town used to be the center of the world, and there were endless treasures buried underground, and the reason why it has been slow to move for so many years is because of technological limitations, and secondly, due to the entanglement of forces, the first few large-scale expeditions have been destroyed by orc tribes and underground races. ”
Jones led people to dismount from the ruins, and shook his hand: "This time, we will send a small group to avoid the orc tribe from sending strong people, and I also happened to find a suspicious location, if we are lucky, technical limitations will no longer be a problem, and we can carry out secret excavations without outsiders noticing." ”
Twenty explorers heard this, they all showed surprise, they didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity for this assignment, thinking that the explorer headquarters selected the members to go to the new world, they were all absolute elites who had been screened layer by layer, and the Silver Fortress Explorer Branch, only another vice president took a few people.
In comparison, the hidden resources of this land of legends are no worse than those of the New World, and if they do make a difference, they will definitely leave their name in the Hall of Explorers.
Jones led people to the underground entrance, thinking that the sky was getting brighter, so he did not light a torch, took the lead in the passage, and turned back to his subordinates and whispered: "This operation must be absolutely confidential, you are all good hands carefully selected by me, if you want to get ahead one day, you must learn to make a fortune in silence!" I've stumbled upon spatial dislocation here, and you'll see, what's the reason for the generation? I'm sure the end result will be ...... amazing."
Boom!
"Boss, are you alright?"
"What idiot has nothing to do here?"
Jones rubbed his head, very annoyed, but the explorers showed strange eyes, Nirasek carefully examined it, and released the holy light in silence, Jones realized that the location where the spatial fault had appeared was now only a thick church foundation, as for the dragon's lair and underground cells, all of them were gone.
"This ......"
Jones was dumbfounded, and immediately began to inspect repeatedly, and even ordered someone to move away from the spire and rock to see where the Twilight Dragon hit with his head, but the result made his mind explode with a thunderbolt from the sky, this time not only the space was misplaced, but the space was directly replaced!
All the explorers had read Jones's investigation report and could probably understand his frustration, and Nilasek kindly comforted: "Boss, or let's cancel the branch." ”
This proposal made the explorers realize that the great ideal that had just been born in their hearts was shattered in an instant, and some people were even disheartened by it, and if the ideal was really so easy to realize, there would not be countless frustrated people in this world.
But Jones is Jones after all, he will not fall because of a setback, turned to look at the Hearthstone Inn with the lights on, and said in a deep voice: "So far, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I proposed to the boss to open a storm branch, there is only one reason, that is, to go to Earl Anduin's shop all day long, eat and drink!" ”
Hearing this, all the explorers looked at each other, and most of them felt that this blow hurt Jones a lot, but when they walked into the warm front hall under the guidance of Jones, the slightest regret left in their hearts suddenly disappeared because of the soft light, and when the smiling Earl Anduin gave the fragrant xiaolongbao, some people couldn't help but think that what Jones said in the end was the heartfelt words.
After devouring a drawer of buns, Neerasek asked Jones solemnly, "Boss, you really don't propose to the boss to establish a branch just for eating, drinking, and having fun, right?" ”
Jones said, "Do I really look so scoreless? ”
However, let him admit that it was an extremely humiliating thing for him to make a mistake in judgment when he was nine out of ten, so he simply broke the jar and broke it: "Of course, don't you think these buns are worth it for me to do this?" ”
Nilasek wanted to say that if Boss Renault knew the truth, you would definitely have a head full of buns, but considering that he had already eaten several drawers of xiaolongbao, he still chose to nod his head heavily, and then together with the other explorers, he was moved by Jones's sacrifice and sacrifice, and for the welfare of his subordinates, he would rather face the boss's thunderous wrath!
Jones saw the expressions of these people in his heart and hated them in his heart: "When the boss comes, none of you can escape!" Although it's a pity that you can't explore the underground treasure monster, but in the past half a year, you should give yourself a holiday! ”
Thinking about it, Jones finished eating another drawer of steamed buns: "Earl Anduin, another drawer of Tianjin xiaolongbao!" ”
"Ahem, it's gone!"
Yes?
A group of explorers began to protest loudly, but Anduin could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, although he prepared a lot of breakfast, but still couldn't stand the wind and clouds of these foodies, but thinking of the crisp sound of the gold coins falling into the bag, he sincerely hoped that the more such foodies the better, the corners of his mouth hooked, and smiled slightly: "Everyone, tomorrow, please be early!" ”
