Chapter XXVIII To whom to make a claim
The half-elf looked at the lord's slippery back with the sharp eyes inherited from the elven bloodline, and finally came up with a sentence: "My lord, I found that your skin is good!" It's really nice! ”
Chen Jian couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded: "Who asked you to see if my skin is good, I asked you to see if there is any injury on my back?" ”
The half-elf sighed and thought to himself that you hadn't made it clear, so he shook his head and said, "No! ”
"No?" The lord was a little unconvinced, at that time, he obviously felt that something had stabbed him, and it was quite painful, how could he not be injured? "It's too dark, you can see it clearly, and then look at it!"
"My lord, there really isn't!"
"Are you sure!"
"Sure!"
Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wondered if it was his hallucination?
Putting on his clothes, Jian Chen was a little puzzled, why did the lich throw himself away at that time?
Doesn't make sense? Could it be that the lich would have a conscience and felt that he shouldn't be involved in the fight?
The lord, who was confused, felt that there must be something strange in this matter, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
He had no idea that at this time, the lich's soul had entered his body and was lurking, and he was preparing to devour his soul at any time to control his body.
Just as he was in doubt, a figure staggered into Chen Jian's sight, and Chen Jian looked at it and found that it was his personal magic advisor, Ash Temple Magician.
At this time, the female magician has lost her usual cold and arrogant appearance, a black magic robe is a little tattered, the original soft black long hair can no longer see the original color, the once white face is now full of dust, and she was tripped by a big stone under her feet, fell all fours, and was entangled in her own torn robe, struggling on the ground and unable to get up, indescribably embarrassed.
If it weren't for the fear of retaliation, the lord was afraid that he would have laughed out loud, and he turned his head in great pain, only to find that everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Master Temple, are you alright?" The lord snickered as he hurriedly asked several maids to step forward to hold the sorceress, but his eyes kept looking behind her, "Which lich?" Is he dead? ”
"Dead!" The sorceress finally stood up smoothly with the support of the maids, and her magic power was a little overconsumed, and she didn't have her usual cold tone when she spoke, and some were just indescribably tired.
"Dead?" Jian Chen was overjoyed, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and secretly thought that it seemed that it was indeed the right choice for him to trick this female magician into being a bodyguard, otherwise he would have died if he couldn't say anything tonight.
But when he had him carried to the ruins, the joy he had just felt turned into anger in an instant.
"What's going on? Where's my room? What about the stairs here? Why is this happening? How did my castle become like this? ”
The lord's earth-shattering roar echoed in the castle, knocking down the few rocks that had been crumbling and not falling on the previous floor, and almost smashed the handsome half-elf man who followed him.
I couldn't help but be angry, the situation in front of me as if it had been destroyed by terrorists with powerful bombs was a little too tragic, with the lord's room as the center, the entire four-story building was affected by the explosion, and the ruins were full of scorched black marks from the magic flames, indescribably desolate and ugly.
The lord who was knocked unconscious as soon as the fight began, had no idea what kind of magic battle the sorceress and the lich were fighting in their room, and anyone who suddenly saw their house being made like this would be full of anger and resentment, not to mention, the lord had to use money everywhere recently, and the belt of his trousers could not be tightened any longer, and now he had to take out a large sum of money to repair the castle, and he couldn't be angry if he didn't want to.
"My lord, this is the result of the battle between Master Temple and that lich, and ...... at the time," the half-elf hurriedly stepped forward to explain to the enraged lord.
After hearing what had happened, the lord was speechless, and the two culprits who had caused all this, one of them had already been finished, and according to the sorceress, he could not even find the ashes; And the other is his savior, who seems to have been injured because of this, how can he be embarrassed to ask her to compensate for the loss?
Just as he was speechless, the half-elf said indignantly: "My lord, that Temp magician is really too much, last time it was like this, this time it is like this, she always disregards the safety of the lord, she is also a little too arrogant, lord, you are still so polite to her, it is really ......"
These words suddenly made the lord suddenly realize, yes, at that time, the female magician didn't take her life seriously, so she cared about asking about some treasure, and at that time, she was thrown out by the lich, and it was the half-elf who saved herself, even if she was saved at that time, then there was no danger to her life, right? The sorceress still fights with the lich is her own business, and she is not a lifesaver for herself, this is obviously a black and black fight between the two in order to seize the treasure.
Even if he is not a life-saving benefactor, and he makes his castle like this for the sake of black and black, then he will not be embarrassed to claim it, and the unscrupulous lord who is full of claims has selectively forgotten some things, that is, if the female magician does not come, how can the lich leave him away, and if the female witch does not destroy the lich, he may have what happened now.
At this time, the female magician resting in the castle hall was also a little puzzled, this lich later behaved a little too strangely, as if she had completely lost consciousness, as a magician but played hand-to-hand combat, and the lich claimed that the life box is not bad, the lich is not destroyed, but this lich was really beaten to ashes by himself at that time, what other way can he escape?
The bewildered sorceress finally decided to wait until she had a chance to find out the information in the future, and for now, it was important to meditate and rest and recover her magic power.
In fact, you can't blame the female magician for her shallow knowledge, of course, the undead lich's life-saving stunt will not be hyped to the outside world, otherwise if everyone knows about it, where can the lich escape so smoothly, and because of the strength of the lich, the opportunity to be forced to use soul transfer is too few and too few, so it is not surprising that there is little information about soul transfer.
It was also Dora's bad luck that she turned into a lich and ran into a genius and powerful opponent like Ash Temple, so she had no choice but to use soul transfer to escape.
As the Lich incident came to an end, the old butler began to instruct his men to inspect the castle for damage, but the inspection was not tight, and the results of the inspection almost made the lord faint again.
"Master, one of the spires on our castle fell, and when the spire fell, it also smashed several rooms on the top floor of the castle, and the damage was quite serious!"
"Master, the third floor of the castle where your original room is located and the second floor below, the fourth and fifth floors above have been affected by the explosion, and now the third and second floors are no longer usable due to being buried by the falling ruins, and the fourth and fifth floors are also more than half damaged, and the loss is quite serious!"
"Master, the passage from the castle to the lower cellar was collapsed by the explosion, and the current situation below is unknown, and it needs to be excavated by hand before you can go in to check it, and because the grain and various materials are also stored in the cellar, we need to re-purchase many things before digging the passage, so the loss is also quite serious!"
"Sir, there are many places on the first floor of the castle that have collapsed......"
"Enough, enough! Say no more! The iron-faced Lord Chen Jian, who was covered with iron and blue by the old housekeeper's mouthful of quite serious losses, stopped the old housekeeper from continuing, gritted his teeth and said: "Count, how much has been lost in total, all converted into gold coins, Lao Tzu wants to find someone to compensate!" ”
The old housekeeper was stunned: "Master, who do you want to compensate?" ”
Jian Chen glared at him: "Do you need to say this?" Whoever blew up my castle will be compensated by whomever I amend! Kill people to pay for your life, pay off debts, and blow up other people's houses! Isn't that a matter of course? ”
"But the old man ......"
"Don't say it, it's annoying! By the way, the vault is okay, right? ”
If the vault also collapsed, then Jian Chen would really want to cry without tears.
"Not really, sir, but this matter of compensation ......" The old butler wanted to continue to persuade the lord, but was interrupted again by the lord.
"Manager Fu, don't say it, I have a sense of proportion! Pete, you go and arrange for the soldiers to take those big-eared monster captives to dig the passage to the cellar for me first, and work it overnight, if there is nothing to lose, we don't have to spend any extra money to buy food, go quickly! Also, let the soldiers search the castle, I don't know if there are any accomplices of that lich who are also hiding in the castle, be sure to check carefully, and don't let go of a place! ”
The half-elf answered and hurried away.
The old butler sighed, said no more, and withdrew.
The living conditions of the big-eared monsters are the dungeons of the castle, and the living conditions are quite bad, but since the lord asked them to clean the dungeon several times, the environment has changed a lot, and the lord is afraid that these capable and free strong laborers will freeze to death in the winter, and he specially spent some money to buy them winter clothes and bedding, so that these prisoners of war are very grateful to Dade.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that in order to make these guys have the strength to work, the lord gave them very good food, full of rice and meat.
This makes the big-eared monsters who are born with big stomachs very emotional, you know, in Diya before, you can eat meat every day, Diya's big-eared monsters are too poor, otherwise how could they even go around robbing the army?
Some big-eared monsters even had the idea that it would be good to live like this, they were full of food, and they had meat to eat, and they didn't sleep cold at night, except that the residence was a little dark and damp and not very accustomed, and they were a little tired from working every day, but it was much better than when they were the big soldiers in Diya and didn't have enough food and clothing every day, and those leaders only cared about their own comfort, where did they think about the suffering of the soldiers, unlike this lord, everything was arranged well.
As for freedom, the big-eared monster doesn't want to be so much, being a soldier has the freedom of a fart, staying in the barracks all day long, and being in prison is not fundamentally different, besides, you can't eat enough, the freedom to talk about a fart, and you have to have the strength to shout slogans, right?
Tonight was a lucky day for the big-eared monsters, the explosion caused many parts of the castle to collapse, except for the dungeon and the separate passage to the dungeon, which seemed to have been built to prevent the prisoners from escaping.
While the guys, awakened by the explosion, were in a state of panic and talk, unaware that they had just survived, a group of guards led them out of the dungeon and assigned them a new task - digging a passage to the cellar.
The sight of Hammondale Castle surprised the big-eared monsters, and a daring fellow approached one of the soldiers and asked, "My lord, what is going on?" ”
The soldier glanced at him and said angrily: "If you want to work, you will work, so much nonsense!" Hurry up, you must dig this place up before dawn, or you won't have anything to eat tomorrow morning! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
"Don't have anything to eat?" This big-eared monster was a little confused.
"Stupid, don't you see that this is the passage to the cellar where the grain is stored? If we can't get in, there will be no food, and we will eat a fart after dawn! ”
When the big-eared monsters who were eavesdropping on their big ears heard this, they were immediately shocked, and the grain cellar was also buried? That's not going to work!
In order not to starve their stomachs, the big-eared monsters worked harder and harder.
