Whew――――

When he saw the image of Zoro's Eagle King, even for a well-informed old man like the Snow Clan Patriarch, his heart was beating like a charged engine, and the blood in his veins was raging everywhere like a tiger out of the gate. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info stared at Sauron, whose whole body was covered in feathers and spread out his two wings, and he could even clearly feel every hair on his back standing upright and shivering.

At the same time, the unsuspecting Zoro was startled by several whistling white-haired giant apes. Looking at their sharp movements, you knew that it was not a joke, and the sun was a very dangerous move, so Sauron did not hesitate to pick up the lightning sword of glory.

"Stop—" The Snow Clan patriarch stopped the white ape's imminent gesture. At the same time, his eyes became more flickering as he looked at Zoro.

No matter what the old man with transparent wings on his back was thinking, it didn't matter to Sauron. Now that his body is back to its peak state, under the image of the incarnation of the Eagle King, he can't even feel the slightest cold, not to mention that now there is another sword of glory armed by the gods, breaking into the eagle man's lair, Zoro is even more confident.

"Whatever the doubts, let's wait until later. Now, it seems that a guest is coming. Zoro saw that Elena had doubts, but in the state of the Eagle King, Zoro could tell that a stranger had come to the territory of the Snow Clan just by smell, and this kind of subtle perception and keen insight was not something that ordinary humans or the Snow Clan could have.

A whirlwind suddenly closed in the air, and it turned out to be a real eagle man, no one had any expression on its face, his hands were behind his back, and he stood proudly, revealing a kingly demeanor.

"I'm Perry, the tax collector, and the Snow Clan's tribute should be paid this month." The Eagle Man Tax Collector flapped his wings and landed on a tree.

At this point, all the Snow Clan people generally showed hateful eyes. Seeing this, Sauron could no longer take what had just happened to mind.

Because of their oppression, in the eyes of the Snow Clan, the stinking creature of the Eagle Man has a huge vulture with winged claws. Their hair was a bundle of black feathers, and their dirty faces perpetually flashed with a pair of greedy and bloodthirsty cold eyes.

Believing that their bloodline dates back to ancient times, the Hawkmen claim to have been once an elder dragon. It was only because they betrayed the gods of the sky who played with intrigue and witchcraft that they were punished to become ugly bird-like creatures.

This explains why, like the legendary dragons, the Hawkmen are eager to attack and plunder all those who dare to invade their territory, and to sow sickness and misfortune in raiding travelers and polluting water and food for their own pleasure.

Except for the borders of their own territory, the Eagle people basically do not interact with other groups, even orcs.

If one orc tribe dares to invade the territory of the Eagle Population, it will lead to a protracted war that the other orc tribes will regret for life. So basically no one wants to provoke the Hawkman.

Except that every 1-2 years, the Hawkmen gather in large numbers to discuss important matters related to the entire Orc Alliance with other orc tribes. Only then will the eagle allow other orcs to sacrifice or ask for another entry into their territory as a last resort.

Admittedly, in the mouths of the Snow and many more races persecuted by the Hawkmen, the Hawkmen are filthy creatures who are said to be despicable creatures who like to perch on their excrement. The eagles pollute the skies, they are sophisticated and cunning, and they value their territory so highly that any creature that enters the eagle's sphere of influence will be wiped out by them.

In fact, just to maintain a wide view at all times, the eagles always live on the highest trees or the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Therefore, the Snow Clan always taught the tribesmen to be 120,000 careful whenever they approached these places.

Miraculously, there are no women among the Hawkmen, leading them to take women from other humanoid races hostage as mates. To prevent their spouses from escaping, these hapless girls are usually restrained.

When the breeding season comes, every girl who becomes an eagle man's wife lays an egg, and the hatched eagle boy is an exact copy of his father. The Hawkman has his own way of raising the next generation, and there is no need for his wife to intervene at all, so then these unlucky girls will naturally become the Hawkman's meal.

………………

"Tell me your puzzle this month, if you can stump me, the tribute of 10 Snow Clan girls can be considered halved."

Hawks love competition and guessing. Savvy adventurers can avoid battle by delighting the Harpie with ingenious puzzles. Hearing this, Zoro realized that the Snow Clan could also reduce the worship of the Eagle Man through puzzles.

"Little girl of the Snow Clan, build your own boudoir. Eat ice leaves, spin silk to make clothes. ”

Hearing Elena's riddle, the Hawkman tax collector laughed maniacally and blurted out without thinking, "The answer is snow silkworms." Aha, it's too easy. You've got two more chances, little girl. ”

Finding that Elena's face turned white in an instant, and the old patriarch of the Snow Clan was at a loss, Sauron, who was a bystander, rolled his eyes directly at this time, daring to love the Snow Clan's riddles so honestly.

"What kind of animal is there that walks on four feet in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?" Zoro spoke his puzzle in Elena's place.

And the eagle tax collector standing in the tree, due to the location and the obscuration of the trees, obviously did not find the existence of Sauron. By the time he heard the puzzle at this moment, he was completely immersed in it. He didn't care who was pulling him the puzzle.

For the next ten minutes, there were about a few hundred pairs of eyes looking at Sauron and then at the Eagle Man Tax Collector in the trees. And when the Hawkman tax collector found that he couldn't think of any animal, he wished that a crack would be made under his foot and that he would get in.

The eagle man's penchant for competition and guessing has reached the point of obsession. So when the Eagle Man tax collector noticed that the Snow Clan around him was looking at him with strange eyes, those eyes were like pins and needles that pierced him so badly that he didn't even have the courage to raise his head.

"The offering is halved, and now, you have one chance left. In addition to the previous puzzle, if you can stump me again, then you can be completely exempted from the first half of the offering. ”

Listening to the words of the Eagle Man Tax Collector, just when the Snow Clan was all nervous, Zoro quickly blurted out again, "A snow wolf bit and dragged a rabbit away, why did the little rabbit follow without a sound?" ”

Listening to Zoro's riddle, although for the eagle man, whether there is a sun in the sky or not, his body is always warm, but at this moment he feels cold. Usually not being able to guess the puzzle will make the eagle man feel very ashamed.

"A snow wolf bit and dragged a rabbit away, why did the little rabbit follow without a sound? Why, exactly? Could it be that this little rabbit is a fool? ”

After thinking about it, I can't come up with a standard convincing answer.

It took a full ten minutes of grinding, and only now did the Hawkman tax collector remember to see what this stumped man looked like. When he flew from the tree he was standing on to another tree and saw the whole picture of Sauron, the Eagle Tax Collector finally couldn't help but scream. "Ah――――――h

Staring at the Eagle King, Perry, the Hawkman tax collector, couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, looking at it, his face covered with feathers was red and white, and his guilty heart continued to tighten. What to do? It's all my fault, I didn't find out the truth, so I ......

It turned out to be the High Priest of the Eagle King. What to do, just apologize to his old man. But I'm the oldest, and I'm so stupid if I have the qualifications to talk to the Eagle King Sacrifice......

If this matter is known to the people, what should I do if they talk about it behind their backs?

Thinking of this, the Hawkman tax collector lowered his head in shame, tears swirling in his eyes, and finally welled up and rolled down his cheeks. When he finally mustered up the courage to jump down from the tree and face the High Priest of the Eagle King, he wanted to open his mouth to say a word, but his throat seemed to be choked with something, and he could not speak; He wanted to take a closer look at the Eagle King Sacrifice standing in front of him, but tears of shame and fear obscured his vision.

Zoro suddenly laughed as he understood the other party's thoughts through the Mind Reading Magic.

But that doesn't mean he will let go of the Hawkman tax collector in front of him who jumped down from a high place and threw himself into the net.

Whew――――

Almost without warning, Sauron's sword of glory slashed down at the head of the Eagle Tax Collector.

"The Eagle King sacrifices to the Lord and spares his life."

He had long heard of the eagleman's quick reaction, and the preface witnessed the scene in front of him, which still surprised Sauron. I saw that the Hawkman tax collector just moved his shoulder, and it was like a whirlwind that lifted the snowflakes on the ground. And the sword that should have landed on the head of the Hawkman tax collector just now only scratched one of his wings. If it weren't for the fact that the gods armed with their own electric shocks burned a large number of feathers on the wings of the Hawkman Tax Collector, I am afraid that this blow would not have caused him any substantial damage.

"Kill him!"

Seeing the Eagle Man tax collector flapping his injured wings and trying to escape, the old patriarch of the Snow Clan on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and immediately gave the order to attack the three white-haired giant apes.

In the eyes of the Snow Clan, the eagle man flying in the sky is extremely terrifying, and once the eagle man can't fly, then he is not invincible on land and can even be said to be very small.

The three white-haired giant apes grabbed the Hawkman tax collector from three directions at the same time, and then, with a scream from the other party, tore him into several bloody pieces.

"Did you know that killing the Eagle Man Tax Collector will bring disaster to the Snow Clan?"

The old leader of the Snow Clan stared at Sauron, his eyes filled with anger. Apparently the scene that had just happened, he was only a temporary reaction. Just worried that the injured Eagle Man Tax Collector would escape from the Snow Clan's territory.

"Kill the Eagle Man Tax Collector, and you seem to be the one who brought disaster to the Snow Clan." Zoro choked back to the Snow Clan patriarch. In Sauron's eyes, anyway, this little old man of the Snow Clan doesn't have a good attitude towards himself, and he can't be polite to him.

But in the face of Elena's large, misty watery eyes, Zoro still explained, "Don't worry, in the eyes of the eagleman, it was the dignified Eagle King sacrifice who killed this eagle tax collector. And the Eagle King's sacrifice to kill an eagle man who offended him is nothing more than a very ordinary and ordinary thing. ”

……………………………………

Take the head of the Hawkman Tax Collector and set off towards the nearest Hawkman stronghold. It's not so much a canyon as an ice field.

Because the entire Eagle Strike Grand Canyon is covered in a thick layer of ice. Flying and looking down for a bird's eye view, the mammoth's thick paws trampled on the icy frozen ground, and many lives were buried under the merciless ice, and each step was like stepping on the corpses of other lives. The biting cold wind carried snow and ice from afar, burying all life.

The howling of wolves was the size of a calf, and Zoro couldn't understand what they were shouting to each other.

As the sun approaches noon, the weather becomes more cloudy. The cold wind blew into the ice caves of the ice field, whining, under the gloomy sky, there were raised canyons far and near, there were no trees, no weeds, not even a trace of life.

Not only is it a sight-catching scene, but Sauron's heart is also full of the word 'desolation'.

"I flew a long way to bring you this boy who offended me."

When he met the first eagle man, Sauron continued to stare at him, his eyes not fluctuating in the slightest, not even curiosity, as if he were looking at a lifeless corpse.

In any case, with the exact same appearance as the Eagle King's sacrifice, the first lord of the sky, and the Eagle King-Braham, Zoro's eyes were enough to make the Eagle man's heart tremble, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stiffened his head, "Eagle, Eagle King, my lord, when did you come back from the Zablan Continent?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do your duty as a sentinel." With that, Sauron suddenly let go, and the head of the Hawkman Tax Collector was still on the stone steps at the feet of the Hawkman soldiers, and he spread his wings and crossed the 'doorway' of the Hawkman's lair.

Staring at the Eagle King's sacrifice, the first lord of the sky, and the Eagle King, Braham's back gradually moving away, the Eagle Man Sentinel swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced at the head of the Eagle Man tax collector Perry, and said to himself, "Oh, unlucky Perry, he provoked Lord Braham on his first attendance, maybe Lord Eagle has a bad temper, but who can blame him." …… I should have informed the raiders and reassigned a tax collector to collect the taxes. ”

According to the people of the Snow Clan, the Hawkman wants to rebuild the Eagle's Nest Gate. So the so-called tax collectors were sent to count down and loot.

Not only slaves, maidens, and gold, but the eaglemen plundered countless craftsmen, coercing them into almost all their might, and it took three full years to complete it through meticulous carving.

The rebuilt Eagle's Nest Gate, with its sparkling pearls and its pillars carved with lifelike gold sculptures, is a unique and glorious building at the top of a Grand Canyon. (To be continued.) )
