Chapter 51: Egwen's Invitation
There are people who haven't been exposed to you and you never know who she really is, and Ainan finds himself making a big mistake by keeping Egwen in Karazhan.
This woman had the impression that Ainan was a little proud, but her pride was not annoying, because this pride was based on strength. Strength is stronger than others, and you can't expect the strong to be humble to the weak. It is the cultivation of others to be polite to you, and you can't take it for granted.
Supposedly, Egwen's image is well maintained, and a genius female mage of her level should not be a sloppy person, but Ainan knows that this is not necessarily the case.
If there is no one to take care of it, Egwen will naturally clean it up herself, but once the matter can be divided among others, this woman will be so lazy that you have to serve her the food after you have finished it.
"You live in mine, eat me, drink me, and I want to serve you, the boy's day is too comfortable."
Ainan was speechless to Egwen, who had nothing to do in the first two days of his stay in Karazhin, and from the third day, perhaps because she felt that she had become acquainted with Ainan, or perhaps because she had figured out Ainan's temper, she was completely exposed, and lived a life where she stretched out her hands in clothes and didn't bother to open her mouth when she ate.
"What's the matter, I'm a guest, isn't it natural for the host to satisfy the guest?"
A certain woman flipped through a certain record she had obtained from the Royal Library, and replied without raising her head, without the slightest consciousness that she had been regarded as a villain by her master.
You have to add a thick-skinned one.
Ainan added another touch to Egwen's heart.
"I said Egwen, how long are you going to stay with me? I remember you said that you were going to venture south through the twilight forest, and now you have changed your mind? ”
To tell the truth, Ainan is not the master of serving, although Egwen is a beauty, Ainan thinks that he does not owe her anything, and there is no reason to provide for her. The kind of people who can make trouble unreasonably if they are a woman, and who can be used as a bodhisattva if they are a woman, Ainan can understand why their lives are so failing.
Egwen still didn't look up: "That one can wait." ”
I mean it's almost time for you to go.
Of course, Ainan said this in his heart. He didn't understand how a girl who was so smart in magic could have a 180-degree change in her common sense of life and in her interactions with people, and she was so dull and stupid that she had no friends.
Ainan couldn't help but cover his forehead, anyone with a little common sense should hear the meaning of expulsion in his words - you have been with me for a long time, since you have something to do, I won't keep you, you better go and do your business.
Did this woman play dumb or did she really not hear it?
If only Ainan really wanted to choke Egwen's neck and ask her viciously, but unfortunately he couldn't do such a thing.
"Speaking of adventures...... Egwen finally raised his head, and Ainan was speechless to find that the record in her hand had been read, "Are you interested?" ”
To Ainan's surprise, Egwen actually sent out an invitation to him.
Speaking of which, Ainan is still quite interested, and it is not unusual for a mage of Egwen's level to be called an adventure.
Without waiting for Ainan to answer, Egwen asked again, "Do you know the Troll Empire?" ”
"I've heard of trolls, but I haven't seen them. Legend has it that the trolls are a blood-drinking savage race that can build empires? ”
Ainan was skeptical.
Returning a disdainful look from Ainan, Egwen said, "That's because you haven't been to Zu Aman, and you haven't met the troll priests of the Amani Empire. Tsk, looking at your expression, you must not have been to many places, you said that you are an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, why don't you know how to walk around, and you don't feel bored in such a small place as the Storm Kingdom. ”
Despised
Ainan blinked, and he wanted to yell: I'm not an otaku.
"According to what I've heard from the self-proclaimed High Elves of the Sunrise Court, the trolls once built a powerful empire, and they had their own civilization, but they were only defeated by the elves with their magical powers."
Trolls had also built empires, and it was the first time Ainan had heard of it. In the records of the Terrans, the trolls who were defeated by humans and elves in the time of Soladin the Great were similar to the wildlings, and were not much different from the uncivilized beasts, except for some strange abilities that were difficult to guard against. The biggest reason why people think this way is because trolls eat people.
Humans naturally don't have a good impression of the cannibalistic race, and it's normal to subconsciously classify trolls into the ranks of savage races, plus humans know too little about trolls, so there will naturally be deviations in understanding.
Ainan didn't think Egwene would talk nonsense, so he asked, "The southern part of the Twilight Forest has something to do with the Troll Empire?" ”
Since Egwene had mentioned the Troll Empire, her adventure must have something to do with it, otherwise there would be no reason for the female mage to help Ainan popularize history.
Without pretending to be a pretend, and without concealing it, Egwen nodded generously and admitted: "It does have something to do with trolls." To the south of the Twilight Forest is a vast jungle, where the hot and humid weather, ferocious beasts, and unstoppable poisonous insects and diseases have stopped the expansion of the Stormwind Kingdom, and some of the most powerful natives such as the Trolls are simply full of thorns for humans, and the people of the Stormwind Kingdom call it the Valley of Thorns. I traveled thousands of miles from Tirisfa to the Stormwind Kingdom to find a troll relic in the Valley of Thorns. ”
"The traces left by a once powerful civilization should be unique, but I don't think the troll ruins in Thorn Valley will be an ordinary place, or they won't attract you."
Ai Gewen's words are believed by Ai Nan, but this does not mean that he will accept everything the other party says without thinking, and it is not ordinary to attract a mage of Egwen's level.
In this regard, Egwen still did not hide it: "According to the information I have found, it is likely that there is the site of the royal city of the Zurghab Empire in the Valley of Thorns. Oh, I forgot to mention, trolls are divided into two major clans: forest trolls and jungle trolls, the Amani Empire established by forest trolls used to be inseparable from the elves of the Sun-Chasing Court, and the elves have not destroyed them until now, so it will definitely be no fun for the two of us to go to Zuaman, the empire established by the jungle trolls is Zur Grab, and even if there are trolls there, they may not be able to stop us. ”
In other words, when the troll civilization was at its strongest, there were two major royal cities, one was Zuaman, who was still occupied by forest trolls, and the other was Zurghab, who disappeared from the jungle trolls. Even the elves have not been able to deal with the forest trolls, and Zuaman does not have to think about it for the time being, and the only option is to obtain the things left by the troll civilization.
"Sounds tempting." Ainan spread his hands, "What do I get?" ”
If he made a trip to Zulgrab'ain, he would definitely not go, he was not idle and had nothing to do, and he was still studying the spatial rift in Karazhan.
"The information I've found tells me that the collapse of the Jungle Troll Empire is not from outside enemies, but from within them. If the information is accurate, it is likely that the High Priests of the Jungle Trolls have summoned a god. ”
God!
Ainan's face was grim: "Are you sure you are not wrong?" ”
Egwen smirked, with an expression that he already knew you would take the bait: "That's what the record I found says, maybe it's wrong, you don't have to." ”
Your appetite has been hung up by you, can I still go?
Ainan glared at Egwene, "Pack your things and go." ”
