Chapter 459: Ned on Fire in the Backyard
Seeing Ned enter the temple, the coyote demigod stood up, stepped over the heads of the gnolls druids, came to Ned, and introduced to the druids, "I have found a helper for you, he is the High Elf mage Ned, and he and his wife will participate in this operation with you, and provide you with some magical support to ensure the success of the mission." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
With the advantage of sharing memories between avatars, the coyote demigod didn't even have to see Ned to understand what Ned was here for, so it didn't waste time, but simply decided it all in the form of orders.
"I'm good at ice and arcane spells, my wife is good at fire spells, I know a little bit about enchanting and making magic devices, and I'm pretty good at both the lingua franca and Salas, so I think you'll need my help!" Ned introduced himself to the wild druids with a modest face, although he could have the coyote demigod order to force the gnolls druids to obey his orders, but that was too high-profile, and he didn't need to.
Because in most cases, the gnolls are not the kind of disciplined creatures that "the rich cannot be lewd, the mighty cannot be bent, and the poor cannot be moved", or rather, they are very greedy for life and afraid of death, so at the critical moment, Ned only needs to show overwhelming strength, it is enough to control these gnolls, although they can only force the gnolls to obey for a short time, and after a long time, the gnolls will rebel, but Ned is confident that he can solve the problem before they start to resist.
"Since you're proficient in human language, you'll be left to deal with those humans?" The leading gnoll druid spoke, actively and amicably extending his paw in Ned's direction.
Seriously, these wilderness druids are worried that they can't speak human language, although they can communicate with Dalaran's mages in the lingua franca, but I heard that most of Dalaran's mages are more proud, so they are still worried that there will be a lack of communication, and now Ned's arrival has obviously solved this concern.
"My pleasure." Ned smiled slightly, and he reached out and gently squeezed the gnoll paw in front of him.
"I'm relieved to see that you guys get along well! You still have one night to prepare, and tomorrow morning you will gather in my temple, and I have made an appointment with Dalaran, and you will only have half an hour to pass through the portal!" The coyote demigod didn't say what would happen if he ran out of time, but the gnolls present would never want to try it once, because they didn't have the ability to go to Dalaran on their own.
"In that case, my wife and I have a lot to prepare, so we'll see you tomorrow!" Ned waved goodbye to the gnolls in animal skins, and he did have a lot to do, such as convincing Naris that Naris, who was already suffering from mild gnoll phobia, would not want to work with a group of gnolls.
Seriously, the black dragon suffers from a phobia of gnolls, as nonsense as the fire elemental suffered from heat stroke during Midsummer, but Ned, who has been with Naris for many years, knows that the reason why Naris is so afraid of gnolls is entirely because of Hogg's influence.
At that time, Hogg had just become an Elder God, so he could not control his own power freely, and when he tortured Naris, he accidentally left too many impressions in her soul, and the impression of the Elder God can be called psychological shadows, and these chaotic psychological shadows have not been eliminated from her soul after Naris's death and resurrection, but have become more and more serious with the passage of time.
"You say we're going to Dalaran with a pack of gnolls? Are you kidding me? Naris's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked Ned in a loud voice, as if Ned would admit it was a joke if she was loud enough.
However, Ned's answer was somewhat disappointing to Naris: "It's not that bad to act with the gnolls, they're much more civilized now, at least they've started bathing, brushing their teeth, and cleaning their hair on time!" Do you know? The gnoll leader just now took the initiative to shake my hand! ”
However, Nariss slapped Ned aside, "Who cares about the personal hygiene of the gnolls?" No, it's not! You are like this, is there something else hiding from me! ”
Ned knew something was wrong, he knew that he had underestimated how sensitive Naris was about this matter, but he still tried to convince Naris: "Uh, dear! Listen to me explain ......"
"Wait a minute! I almost forgot, you said you were going to find someone to replace us, who did you find to take our place? Naris forcibly interrupted Ned's explanation, she didn't want to waste time listening to Ned's nonsense, as a former ambassador of the Black Dragon Legion, Naris knows the art of conversation very well, once she has the initiative to talk, she must use the problem to the core to break the opponent's defense, the more the opponent wants to cover up, the more it will be exposed.
"Okay, okay! I surrender, I'll be honest! Seeing that Naris's posture of interrogating the prisoner, Ned had no choice but to raise his hands to surrender, since he couldn't convince Narisse now, then he would just deceive her with lies, anyway, Naris's only an explanation, not the truth.
Ned looked helpless, as if he was really forced by Naris, but everything he said was just a lie, and no one could debunk his lie: "I originally planned to ask the coyote demigod to send a coyote to replace him, but when the coyote demigod heard that we were going to the Eastern Kingdom, he entrusted us with a mission to help a team of gnolls druids on a special mission to search for orcs in a snowy mountain!" ”
After saying that, Ned also pretended to apologize: "I don't want to take on this task either, but the situation of the coyote demigod is a bit special, and I can't refuse it!" ”
"So it's not just about setting off with the gnolls? Still going to act together? So tell me, when will we really start our journey, as you promised before? Nariss didn't get angry, she knew very well that the relationship between the coyote that ruled Eresaras and Hogg was somewhat unclear, so the task given by the coyote was probably Hogg's will.
