Chapter 20 [The Story That Haken and Eagle Wind Have to Say]
"Hab, we're walking too slowly, can we go any faster?"
Lin Yu said helplessly to Habu beside him. After more than ten minutes from Bloodhoof Village, he and Habu had only walked less than five hundred meters, which was really slow. Hab, who was the leader of the way, did not seem to be in a hurry at all, and walked on the plain as if he were shopping in the streets.
"What's the hurry, I haven't left Bloodhoof Village for a long time, of course I have to take a good look at the surrounding scenery. Ha ~ Mogao Lei is still as charming as ever. ”
Habu said with an intoxicated expression.
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, brother, let's hurry up? Abu is still waiting for me. ”
Habu gave him a dissatisfying look and said in an old-fashioned manner.
"You young man, you really don't know how to enjoy life."
Lin Yu was so angry that he was about to faint, but fortunately, after Habu finished speaking, his walking speed was obviously much faster, for the sake of his speed, Lin Yu did not have the same knowledge as him.
"Hey, boy, are you really a traveling scholar?"
"yes." Lin Yu naturally replied, if you want to deceive others, you must first believe in yourself, and Lin Yu has done a very good job in this.
"Lie to me, old man." Habu smiled playfully, and instead of dwelling on the question, he continued to ask.
"Hey, boy, are you really going to leave that little Minotaur named Abu in Bloodhoof Village?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly, glanced at Habu, saw him looking ahead indifferently, and said.
"yes, what's the problem?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that this little minotaur might have to suffer."
"What do you mean? Will Haken be bad for Abu? Lin Yu stopped abruptly and asked, if it was really what he imagined, Lin Yu would rather take Abu with him than keep him in Bloodhoof Village.
Habu also stopped and looked at Lin Yudao with a disgusted expression.
"What is the identity of Haken, he can see it like a child, but it is difficult to say what other minotaurs are."
"What does that mean?"
"In Bloodhoof Village, all but me are very disgusted with the minotaurs at Camp Nalachi, thinking they are a bunch of cowards. If this little minotaur lives in Bloodhoof Village, he will inevitably be ostracized. You know, there are a lot of children in Bloodhoof Village. ”
Now that he had stopped, Hab simply sat on the ground, took out a biscuit from his jeans pocket, and said as he ate.
"Will an adult minotaur be bad for Abu?" Lin Yu asked, if it was just a matter between the little minotaurs, Lin Yu believed that Abu should not have any problems.
"Not really, adults who will be like children." Habu replied, chewing on the biscuit in his mouth.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Habu eating biscuits with happiness on his face, he was not angry, and said with a dark face.
"It's almost time to rest, let's keep walking."
"Huh, you say?" Habu raised his head, slurred his words, swallowed the biscuit in his mouth, and said with a drooping face.
"Just rest for a while. I'm so old, how can I be as energetic as a young man like you. Break, break. ”
Habu was like an old scoundrel, and as soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to play dead. Lin Yu glanced at Habu speechlessly, and regretted very much why he handed over the herbs on his body to Habu first, sat opposite him, and asked.
"Why don't you have an aversion to the minotaurs of Camp Nalachi?"
Habu replied with his eyes closed.
"I'm an old-school minotaur who isn't interested in boring clashes between camps."
"In the tent I noticed that Haakon seemed to hate Chief Hawkwind, why? It stands to reason that they are both leaders, and the relationship shouldn't be so bad. Anyway, being idle is idle, Lin Yu decided to ask the doubts in his heart to understand.
"You have a lot of questions." Habu opened his eyes and smiled.
"Haken and Eagle Wind used to be best friends, but they had different philosophies, so little by little the relationship became like this."
Habu paused for a moment, then continued.
"Haken is the leader of the main battle, and he believes that the Terror Totem has posed a great threat to the Minotaurs of Mogore, and needs to be eradicated immediately, so he has joined forces with the Naraki camp to declare war on the Terror Totem. Eagle Wind initially agreed with Haken's proposition, and sent many powerful Minotaur warriors to Bloodhoof Village, but the power of the Terror Totem was much stronger than Haken and Eagle Wind imagined, with heavy casualties on both sides, and a small number of Minotaurs were bewitched by the Terror Totem and betrayed Bloodhoof Village and Nalaqi Camp. Unable to accept the death of his family, Harken proposed a truce to the Terror Totem, but Haken rejected him, claiming that as long as there was a Minotaur, he would fight with the Terror Totem, and severely reprimanded Hawkwind, believing that he had lost the glory of belonging to the Minotaur, while Hawkwind believed that the life of his family was more important than glory, and that Haken's arbitrariness would kill the Minotaurs in Bloodhoof Village and Narach's camp. The two disagreed, and Camp Nalachi no longer provided combat aid to Bloodhoof Village, opting instead to provide supplies and weapons. It was from that time that these two best friends gradually became strangers.
"Hab, which one do you think is the right decision, Haken or Chieftain Hawkwind?"
"Actually. Neither Haken nor Eagle Wind did anything wrong, but the two had different philosophies, one more focused on glory and the other more focused on life. ”
Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully, but in his heart he was still more inclined to the concept of Chief Eagle Wind, he was not a native of Azeroth, he didn't value the ethereal thing like glory, in his cognition, life was always the most important.
"Alright, it's almost time to rest, let's keep going!"
Hab patted his thigh, got up from the ground, fiddled with his cowboy hat a few times, and stepped out with his hands behind his back.
After resting, Habu was full of energy and took Lin Yu to wander around the plain. He didn't have a clear direction, Lin Yu silently calculated in his heart, and found that Habu basically changed directions irregularly every two hundred meters. What made Lin Yu speechless and angry the most was that Habu seemed to regard this hunt for goblins as an outing, and he was in a relaxed mood. With the mentality of visiting his own back garden, he took Lin Yu to travel in the crisis-ridden Mogaolei.
"Hab, don't take me in circles! We're looking for goblins, goblins, do you know!? When Lin Yu saw Habu pick up a fruit from under an oak tree and put it in his mouth to taste it, he finally ran away.
As if he hadn't heard Lin Yu's roar, Habu's jaw shook a few times, and he spit out the kernel with a tucked expression.
"Why is this fruit so unpalatable now?"
The corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched a few times, and the green tendons on his forehead appeared from time to time. A nameless anger surged up, resisting the urge to beat Habu, Lin Yu's teeth were about to be crushed, and he roared.
"Hab, I need to find the goblin immediately, immediately."
Habu patted his head, smiled slightly at Lin Yu, and said.
"Oops! I'm sorry, I forgot to get down to business. Let's go, let's go now. ”
"Okay."
Ten minutes passed, Lin Yu didn't even see the footprints of a goblin, reached out and grabbed Habu, who was leading the way leisurely in front of him, and asked angrily.
"Hab, where's the goblins?"
Lin Yu swore that if Habu didn't give him an answer that satisfied him, he would definitely trample Habu's hateful cowboy hat under his feet.
"Goblins? Oh, by the way, the goblins are up ahead, you see. Habu gently patted Lin Yu's hand a few times and pointed to the road ahead of him.
"Ahead? Where? Picking his hand off Habu's shoulder, Lin Yu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, except for a few trees and a slope, there was not even a fly in front of him.
"Right ahead, on that slope."
Lin Yu stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look up, this slope was a little tall compared to Lin Yu's height, and he couldn't see what was on the slope when he stood on tiptoe.
"Okay, don't look at it, I'm telling you that there must be goblins on it, and there are only a few gnolls guarding it, so it's definitely the best place to hunt it." Habu sat on the ground and pulled out a piece of green cheese wrapped in paper from his magical jeans pocket, and said as he ate.
"Gnoll guards, what's that?"
Hearing that there were guards, Lin Yu sat next to Habu, a little hungry, and when Habu was not paying attention, he snatched the cheese in his hand and ate it all in one bite. The taste is good, a very mellow goat's milk smell.
"You give me back the cheese!" Habu yelled angrily, Lin Yu covered Habu's mouth and said inarticulately.
"After that, I will pay you back ten times."
Habu slapped Lin Yu's hand away and looked at him with a sad face, as if he had been wronged.
"You said, there are still ten, and I will peel your skin if there is one less!"
"Rest assured, rest assured. What do you say is a Gnoll Guard? Why didn't Haken tell me? Swallowing the cheese in his mouth, Lin Yu asked Habudao, he thought that there were only goblins here, but now it seems that it is not like that.
"Goblins are a weak race, and their weakness is reflected in their ability to fight. Goblins' bodies are inversely proportional to their intelligence, and every goblin is a clever businessman and a good mechanical engineer, but the heavens are fair. Bestow upon them the wise"
"Stop!" Lin Yu made a stop gesture at Habu, and Habu answered his question, which had already detached.
"I asked about the gnolls guards, I didn't ask about the goblins!!"
Lin Yu felt that Habu was definitely a capable and capable minotaur, and he could drive a patient person crazy in his own unique way.
"Oh, gnolls, goblins are barely capable of fighting, but they have money, and gnolls are the bodyguards they paid to protect themselves from ogre slave owners."
"And what about their combat capabilities?"
"Huh?" Habu groaned for a moment and replied uncertainly.
"Pretty much the same as the boar people?"
"Where's the quantity?"
"A lot."
"Wow! Special! Lin Yu shouted in surprise.
"What are you shouting, all the fuss, look at your little bit of breath." Habu glanced at Lin Yu in disgust, cleared his throat and said.
"Gnolls are stupid, if you give them a little favor, they will do your bidding."
"Benefits, give him money?" Lin Yu touched the package he was carrying, he still had a little money, which was given to him by Chief Eagle Wind before leaving.
"Give a piece of! Gnolls are so stupid, how can they spend money! Hey, no, you're rich? As soon as Habu heard the word money, he immediately turned into an animal running on four legs, staring at Lin Yu with his eyes in a daze, and almost wrote the words 'give me money' on his face.
"No money." Lin Yu turned his head away from looking at the greedy Hab, this bastard loves money more than goblins.
Hearing Lin Yu say that he had no money, Habu's face was long, and he muttered in his mouth.
"Just look at your poor and sour face, you know that you must not have any money, it's really unlucky."
The muttering sound of the minotaur was similar to the normal sound of human speech, Lin Yu and Habu were still sitting so close, Habu's words Lin Yu could hear it clearly. I don't have time to have a war of words with Habu, and getting down to business is the most important thing, Lin Yu leaned over to Habu and asked.
"Hab, what good do the gnolls need? Forget about money and chastity, I don't have one, and I can't give one. That's right! The gnolls should be interested in herbs, so you can give me back a few of the herbs I gave you. ”
Lin Yu hit himself with the idea, so is it worth it? Habu moved his ass with a look of displeasure.
"If the gnolls knew herbs, they couldn't be reduced to being bodyguards. The benefits for the gnolls are simple, food, which is what they need most. ”
"I don't have food!" Lin Yu was in a hurry, Lin Yu had never seen a beast on this journey, where did he get the food for the jackals. No, not a single beast has ever been seen? Lin Yu didn't notice such a strange situation. Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt uneasy in his heart.
"Habu, why have I walked for so long, I haven't seen a single beast, are there any members of the Terror Totem nearby?" Lin Yu asked in a deep voice, if there was really a terror totem, Lin Yu would definitely give up this mission without hesitation.
"Totem of Terror? No kidding, this has a copper coin to do with the terror totem? Habu waved his hand at Lin Yu, raised the short knife in his hand in front of Lin Yu, and asked with a very solemn expression.
"Do you know what the most terrifying combination in Bloodhoof Village is?"
Seeing Habu's solemn question, Lin Yu shook his head solemnly and asked.
"I don't know, what is it?"
"That's Old Habu and his daggers! As long as the best combination appears, no beast will dare to be presumptuous! ”
"My day!" Lin Yu, whose heart was about to reach his throat, heard Habu's answer, and his anger churned in his chest, like a boiler that was about to explode due to excessive pressure. He couldn't stay with old Hab any longer, or he would be driven crazy by this old fellow. Taking out the dagger in the package, holding it in his hand, Lin Yu squatted on the ground, although the weeds growing in the Mogaolei Plain were not high, if Lin Yu squatted down, it would be enough to cover his body.
Holding the dagger in his hand and adjusting his breathing, Lin Yu prepared to march towards the slope. Before leaving, he glanced back at Habu, and sure enough, as expected, Habu didn't mean to help at all, sitting on the ground and fiddling with the short knife in his hand. Feeling an angry and helpless gaze fall on him, Habu looked up and saw Lin Yu staring at him, and smiled awkwardly. Put his hand into the left trouser pocket, took out a piece of bread that was about to darken, glanced at it, and smashed it accurately on Lin Yu's head. Lin Yu picked up the black slice of bread, good guy! This bread must have been left for a year, and holding it in your hand is no different than carrying a brick.
"The hard bread that the jackals love, you should use."
Habu said with a slight bow, Lin Yu was moved in his heart, Lao Habu actually has a caring side.
"Remember to give me back the money for the bread slices when you go back!"
