Chapter 57: Trolls
"It's not that I'm going to beat you, it's that you're too underwhelmed."
In Ainan's words, the troll in front of him was ugly-looking, behaved lewdly, and was sorry for himself if he didn't beat him. He sneaked aside at him and peeked at himself and Egwene, beating him without discussion.
Boom! Bang!
A cloud of ice mist burst open, enveloping the troll's legs, and the frost immediately caused the troll's legs to fall unconscious to the ground.
It is only after loss that people realize the preciousness of what they have, and the same is true for trolls.
The legs were gone, and the brain clearly gave the order to move, but the stiff legs just didn't move, and the troll panicked. Only then did he realize that the things that were usually ordinary were so precious, if he gave himself another chance...... Well, if he were given another chance, he wouldn't have stalked these two creatures called humans out of curiosity.
It's not that the troll is timid, it's not that the troll is not strong, in fact, it is precisely this troll who is not weak that he knows the horror of Ainan and Egwen.
It's nothing to be able to cast magic silently, but even a wounded troll can do it, the key is that the magic emitted by silent magic can easily break through the barrier he has planted. The first time can be blamed as an accident, but what about the second?
Once is accidental, twice is inevitable.
The enchantment that he is proud of is no different in front of the other party, seeing that Ainan can push himself into a desperate situation with two spells in his hand, if he is serious, won't he be able to kill himself with a finger?
No, I don't want to die!
The troll roared in his heart, driven by a desire to survive, and he struggled to remember the language of the human adventurers he had killed who had gone deep into the jungles of the Valley of Thorns.
"There's no need to waste time on him."
Egwene was almost scared of the troll by this, the troll felt that he still had a great future, a good life was still waiting for him, how could he die here. So, the troll begged for mercy in the blunt Terran language: "Bu bite...... Important......
The words are very vague, but the ears of those who can't stand listening are good. Hearing the half-baked Terran language coming out of the mouth of a troll, both Rao and Aygnan were taken aback.
"Can you still speak human language?"
Egwene stepped forward and kicked the troll in the face with his toes, and the latter, tears streaming down his eyes from the pain, raised his face in order to seize the chance of survival, and desperately pulled out a smile that was worse than crying.
"Su, woo fee."
The troll scolded Egwen countless times in his heart, did you ask such questions, hit people without slapping their faces, you still kick this woman...... Ah, it hurts...... Spare your life, stop kicking.
Egwene kicked and kicked, causing the troll's nose to be swollen and his face to be swollen, and tears and snot to run down his face, but finally the female mage felt disgusted and stopped...... No, it's stop.
Ainan sympathizes with the troll's plight, but is adamant not to lend a hand. Egwen was sulking that he didn't find Zur Grab, and you didn't have long eyes and bumped into it, who would be angry if you didn't get angry?
Blame you for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, mourn.
The troll looked at Ainan with teary eyes, his body trembling. I was just kicked by the woman, is this man going to come to the relay?
It's not like that, you're still playing wheel warfare.
Thinking of the humans who had been tortured to death at his own hands, the troll was terrified in his heart, he didn't want to end up like that. Evil people are cruel to others, and when it is their turn, most of the evil people will collapse faster, because they know how painful it is.
"Give you a chance, I'll spare your life if you can speak well."
Ainan had a smile on his face, and he looked like I was harmless, he was not a violent person. Unfortunately, his smile didn't put the troll at ease, but only grew more and more scared.
A smile on his face is not a good thing. As an enemy, the brighter you smile and behave more kindly, the more dangerous such people are, and the more ruthless they will become.
The troll understands this all too well, because that's how he treats creatures weaker than himself. Hearing what Ainan meant, the troll hurriedly took a breath, forcibly endured the pain, and tried to speak in the standard human language he remembered: "I understand, powerful human, what do you want to know?" ”
"That's right, lest we have to guess what you say." Ainan crouched down beside the troll, "Tell me about yourself, better say something I'm interested in." ”
The troll was about to cry.
How do I know what you're interested in, big brother, don't take you to play like this. Do you want to know what to ask directly, it's fun to go around in circles?
Thinking so in his heart, the troll didn't dare to show half a point on his face, this man and woman couldn't afford to provoke themselves, and they could suffer less if they obediently admit it.
"I'm a sorcerer in the Gulabash Empire, my name is ......"
"What is a sorcerer?"
The troll was about to introduce his name when Egwene rudely interrupted him. The former was a captive, and his life or death depended on the mood of Ainan and Egwen, and even if he was interrupted, he was very unhappy, and the troll magician had to endure it.
"Sorcerers are a profession inherited from our clan, and only a very small number of trolls with the talent of sorcerers can become sorcerers. It has a lot in common with your human mages, but our sorcerers are more flexible in casting spells and can master multiple types of spells at the same time, while most of you human mages specialize in one. ”
"So you have a lot of status among trolls?"
Egwene said as he spoke, and without waiting for the troll to reply, he stepped on the troll's face so hard that the troll's face was distorted.
"I asked you to say that you are a sorcerer, and I didn't let you show off yourself, understand?"
Where did I provoke you again?
The troll felt that he couldn't be more innocent, and it was clear that Egwen was going to ask about the sorcerer, and he explained how he could show off himself, which was a great wrong.
Ainan caught the fierce light hidden in the troll's eyes, Egwene treated him like this, the troll had already hated the female mage to the marrow, if he hadn't asked himself if he was definitely not Egwene's opponent, how could the troll not fight back and scold him like this.
Guys who know how to forbear generally think that they are smart people, and smart people are the most life-saving, and this troll demon magician can take advantage of it.
Reaching out and grabbing Egwen, Ainan freed the troll hecromancer.
"Say your name."
The troll rubbed his deformed face and replied angrily, "Jindu, the sorcerer of the Gulabash Empire. ”
Asking the troll's name was just for convenience, and Ainan didn't care if the troll was saying his real name or a fake name: "We need a map of the Valley of Thorns, you are a native of this place and want to give us enough information." If the information you give us is valuable, I don't mind giving you some benefits. ”
Jindu pondered for a moment, and finally looked up into Ainan's eyes: "Human, first of all, you have to make sure that neither you nor her can hurt me, and secondly, what can you give me if I cooperate with you?" ”
"It depends on how much your information is worth."
