Chapter 172: Team up with you
The cooperation between Oss and the Duke of Choraci was not signed with a covenant, without a third-party witness, or even a simple agreement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf Baron Rivendell were here, he would have reprimanded Oss for being too childish and letting go of such a good opportunity to increase his hidden strength.
However, it was such a verbal agreement that seemed very childish, and both Oss and Duke Choraci were still serious, and they had no intention of betraying the agreement.
Flying over the Arathi Heights, Khadgar admired the white and red clouds that had just lit up in the sky in the distance for a while, and suddenly a spirit approached the magic flying carpet and asked, "Then the old duke is not using us, right?" Why do I feel that something is wrong? ”
Looking at the morning light in the distance, Oss only felt a burst of relaxation, smiled and replied: "Using the word "two", it is really too ugly. Duke Choraci knew that I would not refuse, and he had no intention of making enemies with me, but was just a conspiracy. ”
When Khadgar heard this, he originally wanted to roll his eyes and make a helpless expression. But he couldn't do it, and then he realized that he was now a crow: "I know that you won't refuse, so why don't you just borrow your power openly and consume Count Presto's manpower?" ”
Oshaha laughed a few times, did not answer, and kept his eyes on the horizon. Because of this, what he didn't see was that Onexia, who was sitting behind him, lowered her head slightly, and her eyes were extremely complicated!
Khadgar flapped his wings vigorously, raised a few meters to a distance, widened the distance from the magic flying carpet, and deliberately said in a very frightened tone: "I feel as if I have been fooled, it is really a dangerous and bad decision to team up with you to go south!" ”
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Oss laughed and asked, "Is Khadgar afraid?" ”
Khadgar, in the form of a crow, opened his short sharp beak and let out an incomparably loud cry! This cry is long and lofty, clear and surging! Then, in the same way, he asked rhetorically, "Can it be more terrifying than Sargeras?" ”
Oss was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Khadgar meant. The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and laughed out loud again.
At the same time, west of the majestic Wall of Soladin, in that grove on the territory of the Hills Brad Hills. While the four were still on their way, the thieves who had actually assassinated Oss had already inspected every inch of the vicinity.
"Returning to my lordship, the combat radius is 0.8 kilometers."
"My lord, there are no corpses within ten kilometers, and there is no trace of any living people leaving."
"Lord Hui, based on the ground destruction within the battle range, as well as the power of the Holy Light remaining in the air, there is no doubt that the person who shot is the target."
"Returning to my lordship, there are a large number of hidden weapons and poisons scattered in the battle area."
"Returning to the ...... of the Lord"
The Grandmaster-level thieves at the head squatted motionless by the campfire that Chromie had lit, silently listening to his subordinates' reports one by one. He held a delicate dagger in each of his hands, the muscles of his calves were tense, and his feet were only supported by the soles of his forefeet, and he was always in a fighting state.
However, after the twenty or so thieves had all reported their findings and judgments, the grandmaster-level thieves were still squatting there without saying a word.
Minutes and seconds passed, and after half an hour, the Grandmaster-level thief ordered in a voice-changing voice, "Retreat!" ”
The voice was thick, as if it were loud. And after a breath, the thieves disappeared without a trace.
For a while, there was no noise in the messy woodland, except for the whistling sea breeze, and it finally quieted down. And Duke Choraci, who was hidden by the campfire, still stood there motionless, like a dead corpse!
More than ten minutes later, the Grandmaster-level thieves who had clearly ordered the retreat returned quietly alone and sneaked around this woodland for a week. But he was destined not to find out, and left in doubt.
After another ten minutes or so, the Grandmaster-level thief went and returned for the second time, and for the second time he stalked around the woodland for a week. And the reason why he does this is because in his perception, he can always perceive the slightest danger.
In the end, after two attempts to find nothing, the Grandmaster-level thief temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and no longer pretended to retreat, but really chose to retreat, intending to go back and explain the situation to his master.
Beside the bonfire, Duke Choraci finally moved, he sighed slightly, he was not annoyed in his heart, and he didn't think too much: "It's really not going to be easy......"
Arathi Heights, a farm that the Oss can't name.
At this point, the farm looked like it had been abandoned for some time, and no crops were grown in the standard fields. And this farm, which obviously belonged to a certain aristocratic family, did not leave even one person to guard it.
Chromie cast his detection spell and asked, "Did the people here take refuge?" Or are the orcs already here? ”
Oss looked at the intact, only somewhat decayed manor and house, shook his head and said, "Probably not, there are no traces of a battle here, let alone a fire." ”
"On fire?" Chromie asked, twinkling in his eyes.
"With the predatory habits of the orcs, they will not live in the houses of the Terrans, and if they had reached the Arathi Heights, this place would have burned down long ago."
Khadgar watched Chromie's magic from beginning to end, but he didn't understand it as he should: "You're right, in the Dawn Forest and the Elwyn Forest, there must be an orc army attacking where the fire is on fire. ”
After a few words, the detection magic has already been fed. I saw that intermittent time markers appeared in the field, and the interval between these time markers was not close, and then they changed into bronze-colored figures one by one, which was the scene of a month and three months ago!
Chromie observed for a moment, she pointed in two directions, and described: "I really went to take refuge, most of the people went to the east, and a small number of people went to the northwest, the direction we came." ”
If it weren't for the fact that the time and occasion were all wrong, Khadgar would definitely pull Chromie to ask for advice. This was evident from the glowing eyes of his eyes.
As the guardian dragon, the god of Azeroth, Chromie is of course extremely sensitive to the undisguised gaze around him. It's just that she was still startled by Khadgar's hot eyes, and a pair of small hands hurriedly blocked the staff in front of her chest, puffing out her cheeks and asking angrily, "What do you want to do?!" ”
"Uh......"
Khadgar immediately came back to his senses, and in the face of Chromie's wariness and distrust, he slowly changed to a stern and serious expression, and nodded to Chromie with a calm attitude. His sanctimonious appearance clearly means that the person who just looked at Chromie's eyes is definitely not him!
Oss looked at Khadgar with a smile and said that he was disrespectful to his old age, but after all, he had only become a middle-aged man in his fifties because of a curse. As a result, there are occasional malbehaviors......
It's still understandable, right......
After revealing this stubble, Oss took out the ground frequency transceiver from the space package and said to everyone: "I'll contact the eldest brother first, and then determine the direction of our next action." ”
After a few minutes, the ground frequency transceiver on the ground did not respond, and the red signal light flashed and flickered, constantly emitting a "boom, boom" noise.
Oss crouched on the ground with a solemn face, his eyes fixed on the ground frequency transceiver, and he didn't even blink. At this moment, he desperately hoped that in the next second, he would be able to hear the familiar and loud voice of his eldest brother.
Khadgar bent over, bent his right index finger and gently tapped the iron panel of the ground frequency transceiver, and asked in a reassuring tone, "Could this thing be broken?" ”
"It should ...... No, it's only the second use. Oss had a bad feeling in his heart, "I'm a little worried. ”
Chromie was far away, apparently reluctant to get close to Khadgar. When she heard what Oss said, she added worriedly, "Did something happen to Muradin?" I've heard you say that earth spirits and earth elementals are enemies! ”
It is true that Chromie has indeed liked to bully Os's dwarven brothers since three hundred years ago, and after regaining his strength, he often went to beat up Gothrum Sandmar. But it is precisely this kind of bullying that means that she likes the Tuling race, and she will remember to buy Terran special wine as a gift for her dwarven brothers in Oss.
Oss waited patiently for another three minutes, but the ground frequency transceiver never responded. He didn't waste any more time, put the ground frequency transceiver into the space package, stood up and said to Khadgar, "Without further ado, Khadgar, let's rush to the connection point between the earth elemental plane and the main plane now, that imprisoning circle!" ”
Khadgar quickly manipulated the magic carpet to expand and asked, "Do you know the exact location?" There is no reference point for flying over the Arathi Heights. ”
Flying in the Arathi Heights, Khadgar's fears were not unreasonable. Because this highland plain is a thousand miles of fertile wilderness, even with the dragon pupils of Chromie and Onexia, they can observe the situation twenty or thirty kilometers away from the air, but the environment is similar in all directions, and it is easy to deviate from the direction.
Following Chromie and Onexia onto the magic flying carpet, Oss pointed to his temple with his right hand and replied, "Don't worry, the last time the Stone Mother lent me her power, the location of the Earth Pillar and those Earth Imprisonment Circles is as clear in my mind as a light in the night!" ”
"That's good, you show the way, let's go!" Khadgar said, instantly turned into a crow, and a group of four people rose into the sky, flying rapidly towards the north-east.
More than two hours later, the sun had fully risen, and the four of them had arrived at the Earth Imprisonment Circle, almost across the entire Arathi Heights.
When everyone landed, the first thing Khadgar did was to drink magic spring water to restore his magic and physical strength. Then, he had the leisure to look at the Earth Imprisonment Circle in front of him, a giant stone henge made of six unknown materials tens of meters high.
"I now think it's wise to team up with you! This is obviously not a magic array that mortals can build, I have to study it carefully! Khadgar pointed to the six boulders that glittered in the sun, and said with interest.
"This is what the Titan Father used to seal the Elemental Plane and the Lord ......"
At this time, Os's science popularization had not even finished a sentence before he was interrupted!
"Who dares to break into this forbidden land!"
The huge female voice, carrying an inexplicable divine coercion that was different from that of His Majesty the Black Dragon King that Oss had felt, suddenly came out from the earth confinement array!
