Chapter 10: The first intimate encounter with the Fish-Man
In the living room of the City of Heroes, Du Qian looked at the little blue fishman swimming happily in his bathtub with a bitter face, if this is in the game, the first shot to catch such a rare baby, it is estimated that he will die of happiness, but in the real world, do you also have to raise a fishman? As soon as I thought that I would negotiate with other bigwigs in the future, others waved their hands, and suddenly there were swords and guns, and with a wave of my hand, I rushed out of a one-person baby, just thinking about it was embarrassing enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Can I eat this thing?" Poked the little fishman in the barrel with a wooden stick, in exchange for a mouthful of saliva full of love, Du Qian wiped his face and asked the guard officer.
"It looks a bit like a fish-man cub in the Sea Clan, and it is said that there was once an earl in the Duchy of Griffon who tried the taste of the fish-man, and he liked it very much, and later the earl even held a grand fish-man banquet for it." The chief guard said with some hesitation: "But this world is no longer the world I know, you need to be cautious, if you insist on tasting it, please let me taste it first." ”
"Well, this ...... I'm just kidding. ”
Seeing that the chief of the guard actually answered himself seriously, and also quoted scriptures, this made Du Qian a little embarrassed, but then he rubbed his chin, a little confused: "Are there fishmen in the waters of Northrend?" He thought about it for a long time, but he remembered too little about the specific situation in Northrend, but he did remember that there was a group of fishmen in the Sauracha Basin, and they had been at war with the gnolls for a long time, and the seaside area had never paid attention.
Just as Du Qian was thinking, a guard officer entered the room softly and whispered in the head of the guard's ear, and the head of the guard whispered an order to him before the guard officer walked out of the door.
"My lord, please forgive me for the interruption." After the guard officer went out, the chief guard stepped forward and saw Du Qian's attention being attracted before he said, "Mr. Harry is back." ”
"Oh? That's great! ”
Completely ignoring Du Qian's excitement, the chief guard continued, "Unfortunately, it seems that they have been attacked, and only Mr. Harry and a hunter have returned safely to the City of Heroes. ”
"What!?" Du Qian was startled and hurriedly said, "Take me to meet them!" ”
When Du Qian met Harry, he was being treated by the nun, and looking at the huge wound that slowly healed and scarred under the white light in the nun's hand, Du Qian felt incredible, because he really couldn't think of how Harry could survive such a severe blow to his abdomen.
"Your Excellency......" After seeing Du Qian's arrival, Harry was about to stand up and salute, but was forcibly held down by the nun.
"It's okay, it's important to treat the wound first." Du Qian calmed Harry and asked the nun, "Has the other injured person been accommodated?" ”
"Yes, sir."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Du Qian turned his attention to Harry again, although Harry was already tired, Du Qian still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Harry, what happened to you?" What about the others? ”
"Lord of the City, we have been attacked in the Bay of Holy Light! With the exception of me and one hunter, most of the attendant sentries and hunters were killed on the spot, and Old John and some of them were caught by the monsters......" Harry seemed to be frightened, he no longer had the usual composure, and when he saw Du Qian asking questions, he hurriedly said a lot of words, without any order.
"Tell me slowly, whose attack did you encounter? Undead? Or a beast? Du Qian hurriedly reassured Harry, and asked the question of his greatest concern, the Lich King had always been a major concern for him.
"It's not an undead, it's not a beast, it's a monster with a huge fish head, hands and feet, and seaweed armor!" Harry waved his hands, but then he realized that it was rude to do so in front of the lord, and he calmed down and said, "After you gave the order, we marched along the coastline from the Amber River, which took two and a half days, because the road connecting the bay of light to the mainland is not easy, so we camped at the beach, and prepared to cross the strait early the next morning to the harbor of the light. ”
After drinking some hot milk, Harry's mood had stabilized, his eyes wandered, and he was completely caught in his memory: "We have made a lot of precautionary measures in the direction of the dense forest, but we didn't expect this attack to come from the sea!" While we were asleep, I heard the screams of the guards, and when I climbed out of my tent, I saw a terrible scene, the sea was full of monsters with fish heads! Their scales sparkle in the moonlight! The sentinels reacted quickly, and they quickly formed a formation to try to stop these monsters from storming the camp, but there were so many of them that the guards were instantly overwhelmed, and many people were directly killed by this monster, and their screams still linger in my mind to this day. ”
Harry's hands trembled, but he continued: "I saw Old John hiding in his tent, but his tent was near the sea, and in an instant he was dragged into the sea, and I was driven into the hills by two hunters, and the other hunters discarded their bows and arrows, and drew their short blades. They were all heroic. ”
"Two hunters? And what about the other one? There is no mention in your account that you are injured. The head of the guard asked, confused.
"Yes, we managed to escape, the monsters had no intention of chasing them into the jungle, we hid in the bushes and saw that these monsters killed most of the seriously injured people, and the rest of them were tied up with seaweed and dragged into the sea, where they went."
"And then?" Du Qian asked, he vaguely guessed something, and after continuing to ask Harry, he whispered to an attendant.
"We saw them leave, and we left the scene after cleaning the battlefield and finding that there were no survivors, but for fear of encountering these monsters again, we left the beach and went into the jungle to find a way back." Harry continued, as several servants entered the room carrying a large wooden barrel, which they placed in the corner and did not disturb anyone: "The hills are very difficult to walk, and there is snow in some places, and there are more wild beasts, but fortunately there are two experienced hunters among us, and they have taken me away from most of the dangerous beasts. ”
Harry's tone suddenly intensified, and he gasped and said with red eyes, "We didn't dare to return to the shore until we crossed the Amber River, but we were betrayed!" One of the hunters, who betrayed us for some reason, quietly drew his short blade in the night and stabbed me in the abdomen, and although he was then killed by another hunter, I was still badly wounded, and the hunter took care of my wounds and brought me back, Elrath, and I thought I was going to return to you! ”
"Betrayal?" Du Qian frowned, although there is a big difference between the heart of the castle and the invincible heroes, but the souls of these people are all from the kingdom of God of Elrath, and the betrayal should not appear, is it the Lich King? He immediately banished this idea from his mind, because every citizen of the City of Heroes has a Buff, the protection of Elrath, and the effect is: immunity to all magical plagues, mind control effects, and the return of souls to the kingdom of God after death.
So the Lich King wants to make it difficult.
"Harry." Compared to the betrayal of this hunter, Harry's attack was more important, so Du Qian walked to the barrel, reached out and grabbed the little fishman who wanted to hide under the water, ignoring the shouts of the little fishman Ula Ula, he carried the little fishman and asked, "Did this creature attack you?" ”
"Yes, sir! But those monsters are much bigger than that. Harry's eyes widened as he gestured to the size of the fish-man in his hand.
"Okay, you have a good rest." After throwing the frightened little fishman into the bucket and calming Harry, Du Qian walked out of the room with the guard officer: "Chief Guard, you go and interrogate the hunter." ”
After giving the chief guard instructions, Du Qian walked alone in the castle, looking at the pine trees planted in the courtyard, frowning and thinking, if he didn't guess wrong, Shengguang Bay should be the lair of a fish-man tribe, and this fish-man tribe is not friendly. And he will not give up the bay of holy light, and he needs to rescue the people captured by the fishmen, especially the old man John, the master builder, who is the precious treasure of the city of light.
"I didn't expect that the first opponent was not an undead, but a fishman." Du Qian smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, after the first intimate contact with the fish-men, the first thing he did was to start a war, and it was when the City of Light was not ready for war.
