Chapter 158: Uninvited Guest
"How did it hatch?"
Anduin looked at the small red dragon, his eyes were full of different colors, he didn't expect that he would have a new member in the family after going on a long trip, so the question is, what should I name it?
Well......
This may seem like a tricky question, after all, it is difficult for a patient who has difficulty choosing a name to do without a dictionary on hand!
Simply...... It's called the little fire dragon, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet the wonderful frog seed in the future.
At this time, Jenny Turtle, who was temporarily acting as a tutor, discovered Anduin's existence, and immediately dropped the whip and shouted excitedly: "My lord, my lord, you are back!" In the days when you are away, I don't think about food and tea, and I am abused every day, if you don't come back, I will be exhausted! ”
Jenny Turtle cried and wiped his teary eyes, looking very aggrieved, but if he hadn't eaten half of the pizza by his side, Anduin might still believe it, raised his eyebrows, and asked casually, "Tell me, who abused you?" ”
"Of course it's my sister!" Jenny screamed, jumped out of the turtle shell naked, pointed to his little belly, and shouted again and again, "In the days you left, my sister asked people to predict good luck and bad luck for you every day, and my stomach was hungry and thin, I protested several times, but I didn't succeed......"
Anduin sneered: "Then let me guess, when you protested, did my sister use pizza to coerce and lure?" ”
Jenny Turtle held his head and shook his head violently: "There is only coercion, no temptation!" If people don't predict, my sister won't give people pizza to eat! ”
"For the sake of your lack of merit and hard work, today's dinner will be halved."
A faint voice floated from the side, Anduin raised his eyes and saw Sonia's figure, I haven't seen her for a long time, Sonia is still so beautiful, wearing a black tights like the night sky, outlining a bewitching body, the angelic face is indifferent, but the eyes can't hide the excitement, Anduin's heart moved, and he smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Sonia stepped closer, stared at Anduin's face, and snorted: "No matter how hard I work, I am not as tired as you, a long journey, accompanied by a beautiful woman!" ”
"Huh?" Anduin raised an eyebrow, "Princess Eliza, you say?" ”
Sonia's eyes were empty, and her silver teeth were clenched: "It turns out that she is a princess!" ”
Sensing the slightest smell of vinegar wafting in the air, Anduin smiled dumbly: "There are some things that you don't know, and I can't explain them to you for the time being, as long as you know that because of the royal secrets, Eliza can't marry anyone, and because of the royal secrets, we are now purely in a trading relationship, and when the use value of each is exhausted, it is estimated that we will meet each other." ”
"Really?" Sonia's eyes were full of suspicion.
Anduin gently scratched the nose of the beautiful woman, and said sincerely: "I don't have to lie to you, okay, it's not too early, I'm going to go to the diviner in the evening, and then go to the old emperor to do something, do you want to come?" By the way, I would like to introduce you to a friend. ”
Sonia wrinkled her good-looking nose, slapped Anduin's palm off, and raised her eyebrows: "Why not?" ”
……
When Anduin and the others returned to Stormwind, it was already dark, and a welcome banquet was supposed to be held as usual, but due to the situation in Nilasek, the banquet was postponed until noon tomorrow, and the leader of the Knights of Champions under the command of the old lord would also arrive, so it happened to be held at the same time.
For Nierasek's betrayal, the explorers naturally found it difficult to accept, they couldn't imagine that the vicious Twilight believers were actually hiding by their side, without any signs of exposure, just like the normal human category, fortunately, Jones's prestige was high enough, and the explorers were uncomfortable, but they still accepted this fact, except for the bearded dwarf Hera Tieli, who immediately lost his enthusiasm for Hearthstone cards, holding a barrel of beer and drinking alone.
Arthas and Eliza, who did not show the haughty character of the prince and princess, kept a low profile with empathy, silently felt the comfortable style of the Hearthstone Inn, enjoyed the unique taste of earthly cuisine, and were curious about the fresh gameplay of Hearthstone cards, until the inn closed and returned to their respective rooms, and only Jones was in the hall with the unconscious bearded dwarf, leaving the vigil.
In the evening, Sonia, who had been observing Eliza, was finally completely relieved, this high-ranking princess, almost did not look at Anduin with her eyes, and the few conversations were full of gunpowder, it seems that as Anduin said, when the two sides have no use value, I am afraid that they will directly enter a hostile state.
"I always thought that the princess of the empire was a little strange, but I can't tell you exactly what is strange."
Sonia stood next to the entrance of the tunnel, and said a little inexplicably, she was close to the shadow, and she could clearly feel that the shadow seemed to be very repulsive to Eliza, this situation was very rare for professionals who did not have a clear bias towards the holy light, except for priests, knights, and those who followed the holy light and the sun, the shadow was like air, which could be integrated or discharged, and the bodies of other professionals, but no matter how Sonia observed, she didn't think that Eliza could believe in the holy light and the sun, so she had this question.
Anduin pretended to be mysterious and said: "This is related to the secrets of the royal family, don't ask more, except for me, another person who knows the secret is probably hiding from the royal family, or has already corrected the law on the spot." ”
"It doesn't sound like you're in a good situation, in case the person you said is really eliminated by the royal family, shouldn't he turn around and deal with you?"
"So, there's nothing wrong with me and Eliza, so don't be cranky, wait a little longer, that friend will come, but you have to be prepared, he smells ......" Anduin saw Sonia covering her nose and shrugged helplessly, "Okay, he's already here." ”
Anduin used the secret passage in the manor to connect the mushroom dealer Max into the back hall, the smell of this guy is like a biological weapon, directly stunned Jenny Turtle, the little fire dragon can't stand the smell stimulation, the mind is not ripe, instinctively spewed out flames, although there is only a pinch of flames, but it is exaggerated ignition of the stench, the flames suddenly rise, if it is not for Anduin's eyes and hands quickly suppressed with holy light, otherwise the furniture decoration in the back hall will be destroyed.
Feeling the heat rushing to his face and suddenly retreating, Max frowned and fanned the wind, and asked in a strange manner: "Anduin, I originally wanted to go to the orc tribe with that big guy for a few days, if it weren't for you saying that you have a good place here, I wouldn't stay!" ”
Then, the kobold's eyes fell on the Jenny turtle and the little fire dragon, and he was surprised: "Don't say anything else, your ability is not small, if I am not mistaken, the bloodline of that red dragon should be very noble, as for this turtle, it is not a species from our continent, then it can only come from the New World!" I heard that some time ago, the guardian spirit of the New World crossed the ocean and fought with the right hand of the Holy Light for a special egg, according to the time calculation, you should be on that ship, Anduin, you kid is not authentic, you dare to carry private goods! ”
Anduin knew that sooner or later someone would know the true identity of the Jenny turtle, and smiled unhurriedly, "This is a gift from the Holy Light. ”
"Cut!" Max pouted, "Don't talk to me about these things, hurry up and tell me where the good place is, if it's your good-tasting shop, or the territory of the diviner below, then forget it, in the future, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge!" ”
"Don't worry, the place I said, the custody can allow you to show your skills, after all, the two of us still have a contract, you develop the potion, I am responsible for the promotion, we will split the account!"
When the words fell, Anduin opened the underground entrance, Max had already guessed that there was a connection between the Hearthstone Inn and the underground world, and his expression did not fluctuate, but when he walked through the deep tunnel and found the existence of the Titan's bones, his eyes were still uncontrollable, and he muttered: "A small section of the Titan's bone joints is so huge, so what kind of majestic existence should his complete body be?" ”
Max looked at Anduin: "The good place you said, wouldn't it be here?" While the Titan's bones are significant, they are of no use to people like me. ”
"Of course not, you wait here for a while, I'll go and see His Excellency the Earth Diviner, and I'll tell you the truth when I turn around, oh yes, I want to ask, what conditions are needed for large-scale cultivation of potion materials?"
As a pharmacist, Max is not only familiar with the properties of most medicinal materials, but also has already thoroughly cultivated medicines, during the period when he was not yet famous, many cherished materials rely on independent cultivation, otherwise they can't withstand the consumption of experiments at all, hearing Anduin's question, the kobold raised his chin very angrily: "This question is relatively broad, different materials need different conditions, if you really want to discuss it specifically, you can't finish it for three days and three nights, but in general terms, as long as there are enough seeds and a great pharmacist named Max." All materials are successfully cultivated with a continuous source of energy. ”
Sonia, who wore a double veil to block the stench, also understood what Anduin meant at this time, she remembered the harsh conditions of the Elven Imperial Capital, and rolled her eyes: "I hope you didn't say big things." ”
The mushroom dealer snorted from his nose: "Max is omnipotent, no one is more proficient in potions than Max, no!" ”
Anduin did not question the kobold's self-confidence, but carefully determined the missing material seeds of the mushroom dealer, anyway, with the ecological dome technology of the Ethereal Spirit Merchant, what kind of cultivation conditions are needed, what kind of cultivation environment can be created, Anduin has already purchased sufficient materials in the Silver Fortress, and the mushroom dealer Max is the chief gardener he finally determined, and with good use of the ecological dome, the old emperor can completely become Anduin's back garden.
Subsequently, Anduin and Sonia found the kobold diviner, first completed the established deal, and bought a lot of plant seeds, with his relationship with the kobold, directly at the price of half selling and half giving away, get a sufficient amount of goods, it is worth mentioning that the kobold diviner mentioned to Anduin about the situation of the kobold king Towager, not long ago, Towager made the golden kobold successfully return to the throne, and officially announced that the crisis state of the kobold kingdom that had lasted for many years was officially lifted, so he went underground to explore, You don't have to deliberately protect the candle from burning.
Anduin remembered what happened to him in the Silver Fortress and asked what the kobold kingdom was in crisis, but the kobold diviner did not hide it, telling the story and consequences.
While the surface is engaged in a protracted war, the underground world has not stopped, kobolds, cavemen, trolls, and all kinds of creatures that live underground, or are good at burrowing, are also fighting for survival, and gradually, kobolds have come out on top in this race, occupying vast territories, but also bearing the brunt of darkness.
As a collection of evil that the Titans and other main gods of order turned into after their deaths, "Darkness", in the long passage of time, gradually possessed its own consciousness, until the Lord of Darkness was truly formed, entrenched underground and coveted the whole world, its appearance made the kobolds and other underground races feel a great crisis, united to attack, and finally relied on the many rare treasures that were explored, and successfully sealed the Lord of Darkness, the golden kobold with a magic seal, is the suppression of the kobold royal family for generations.
Anduin didn't know if the kobold king's claim was true or false, but he felt the need to continue to be vigilant, and told the kobold geoteller about what happened to him in the Silver Fortress.
Unexpectedly, the kobold's attention was more focused on the appearance of the mountain giant, and he said in a deep voice: "Ancient creatures like mountain giants often do not choose the sleeping place at will, and under normal circumstances, the heirs of the Lord of Darkness cannot be as dense as you said, it seems that the underground world near the Silver Fortress hides some unknown secrets, I will send someone to check it recently, Count Anduin, you can wait for my news." ”
"Okay, hopefully it's just a false alarm."
Anduin nodded slightly, able to attract the attention of the kobolds, at least not to let the situation get out of control, the matter was temporarily closed, and immediately said goodbye to the kobold diviner, returned to the Titan's bones, and handed over all the seeds to the mushroom dealer Max.
"Anduin, can you tell me now, where is the good place you said?"
Max checked the condition of the seeds with great satisfaction, and laughed strangely: "If that old fellow of the earth diviner knew that this batch of seeds had fallen into my hands, I don't know how wonderful his expression would be?" ”
Hearing this, Anduin couldn't help but shake his head, the mushroom dealer is a pure evil person, and his personality is unpredictable, if it weren't for his life-saving grace, he would not dare to reveal the secret of the Titan's bones.
The whirlpool portal that rippled like water waves suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, the kobold couldn't react for a while, he was really startled, and retreated to the distance, only to find the changes in the Titan's bones, a look of shock appeared in his eyes, his nose moved slightly, and he frowned and shouted: "This smell ......"
"Let's go!" Anduin urged, and stepped into the portal, "Every time I open the door, it consumes a lot of my energy!" ”
Sonia followed closely, and the kobold saw that the portal was showing signs of disappearing, and immediately chased after it......
And just as the three of them entered the Elven Imperial Capital, an uninvited guest, who had escaped the vigil Jones and Hera Tieli, quietly entered the backroom area of the Hearthstone Inn......
