Chapter 043: Sacrifice

Enter the town of Agate River, once the lord's residence that once belonged to Baron Abraham. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

The dwarves, including Thorin, and many of the militia, with a sense of longing, raised their heads and looked around with a sense of novelty, admiring all the furnishings in the lord's mansion in such luxury and perfection.

"Even in the king's house, it must be nothing more than that."

"Tu Baozi, you don't pretend to be deep, and you haven't seen the king's palace, how can you know."

The two town militiamen who were talking in a low voice quickly shut their mouths after being given a cold glance from Ares.

Everyone's eyes went around the twenty-eight pillars, the patterns on the walls were exquisitely carved, and every corner, even every crevice, showed the artistic atmosphere that matched the rich aristocracy.

It's just that on the face of the Dragon Court Woodland Lord Sauron, he didn't look too moved.

"The momentum is proud, and the sky is high, as if it is connected to the sky. Everything here makes people's senses feel like a dream, both illusory and real, but detached from the basis of reality. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If these gold coins had not been spent on luxuries, but instead on the armies of Agate River, then Lord Abraham might not have ended up where it is today. ”

The lord's words made Ares and Thorin agree from the bottom of their hearts.

If the subjects of the Dragon Court Woodland abandon their simple style and start chasing enjoyment, maybe one day in the future, they will end up with a similar ending to Agate River Town.

Sauron's eyes wandered along the various gorgeous reliefs on the wall, in this turbulent world where all strength speaks, even the king's crown will fall to the ground and be trampled by the iron hooves of war.

Following the instructions of the dwarven Master Isol, Sauron made a straight path to the throne of the lord up the polished marble steps. Touching the dragon relief behind the seat with his hand, from the head to the fangs, and gently touching it, a small raised piece of metal the size of a fingernail protrudes from between the fingers.

Boom, Boom, Boom......

Twisting this piece of metal slightly, from the entire lord's hall, there was immediately a sound of gears.

There was a strong commotion from beneath the floor, a stark contrast to the peaceful atmosphere just now.

"Be careful!"

With a prompt, a dozen floors in the center of the lord's hall quickly collapsed. And at this moment, from this entrance with a bright fire, a high-spirited, seemingly sacred, one-man voice came out, "The glory of the god of sacred fire is above, ugly monster creatures, if you dedicate the splendid golden chrysanthemum to me, I will be with you, and I will go up to the heavenly dome where the god of fire is." Dare to kill a sacrifice of the Fire Temple, and you will be cursed by the flames. At dawn tomorrow, they begin to grow sharp fangs, reflexively biting themselves like poisonous snakes. Make yourself a pathetic reptile too. Your wives and daughters will have fellowship with your enemies............ Match. ”

When a fat man draped in white sheets, with two legs flicking the inner figure, one hand holding a sword, and the other hand constantly swinging, rushed out of Abraham's secret underground warehouse.

For a moment, the hall of the lords fell silent, dead silent.

Only this fat man with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, swallowed the slogan of war that was as long as a giant python in his throat, and stood at the foot of the steps in a daze, as if he felt a little ...... about the situation in front of him Confused.

Golden chrysanthemum is a kind of pattern that the ogre loves.

In the society of trolls, it symbolizes the prosperity and prosperity of the tribe. There were many high-ranking ogre nobles who used this pattern as their emblem. Only use the petals of the chrysanthemum to distinguish their status level.

In the past, ogres have offered chrysanthemums to the city of Montenegro to beg for peace. Therefore, the fat man was not wrong when he said that the ogre should offer a splendid golden chrysanthemum. Just falling on Zoro's ears showed another layer of laughter.

Five seconds later.

"Grab it!"

Leon, the guard officer in charge, was the first to react.

Immediately, several town militiamen quickly came to their senses, vigorously picked up the spears in their hands, knocked the fat man of unknown origin to the ground, and used the ropes carried in his waist to tie him up.

Later, along with Leon's unequivocal orders, some of the militia in several towns contributed a bubble of urine to check if the other party was a troll.

It is known that low-level trolls can perform transfiguration by cruelly eating human brains, transforming them into the form of their victims for a period of time, and masking the monstrous features of their white pupils.

The only door to the transfiguration, which makes it impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, is probably human urine.

Witnessing the scene in front of him, Zoro had no reason to stop it. Even if he recognized this fat man without any professional attributes, the outfit on his body was indeed a temple sacrifice.

"Lao Tzu's legs, ah...... Wait, you're human. Wait a minute...... I'm a priest. You're actually peeing on me. Oh, my God...... The god of fire is above, where your divine power is, I am not omnipotent, I can ...... what you can't"

The fat man with five flowers and big ties, while wailing loudly, closed his eyes and chanted praises, with a strong man's spirit of breaking his wrist.

And on Zoro's feminine face, as the smile deepened, the two deep dimples on his cheeks also emitted a smile. Since he was born in this other world, I believe it is the first time he has experienced it as easy as now.

Through a urine test, it turned out that the fat man was indeed a human.

And from what he wears, it can be judged that this person's status in the Fire Temple is not low. It's just that his good identity background can be 100% sure that it has nothing to do with his ability.

Coupled with the funny appearance of this person, the hooked nose and toad beak, the mouse eyes and the looped legs, it can't make people laugh.

Zoro straightened up and waved his hand to stop the laughter of the others, while also scowling his own face as he looked down the steps...... Fatso.

"Let him go. ――To confirm that you are human, please forgive me for the offense I just had. This all-powerful fire sacrifice in the tunnels of Agate River Town. ”

When he heard Sauron's voice 'apologetic', the fat man, who was still rubbing his fat legs and sitting on the ground and couldn't get up, seemed to come to his senses immediately, and his face was full of anger and at the same time raised his voice, "The Holy Fire is above, if you are pious in your heart, then I represent the Fire Temple and exempt you from capital crimes." ………… Which bastard just moved his hand, which bastard peed, immediately cut himself off......"

Bang――――

The guard officer's punch, regardless of whether it looks or listens to the sound, is a very solid punch.

"Stupid fellow, don't take the lord's politeness to you and understand that you can really represent the Fire Temple."

As the fat body fell to the ground with a thud, Leon's heavy iron boots stepped on his chest. "As far as I'm concerned, even if I kill you now, the Flame Temple won't find out. Trust me, you're going to die like a reptile. ”

Leon is a hot-tempered guard officer.

Until now, he has not directly cut off the head that made him feel extremely uncomfortable, I believe that he is deliberately patient.

Then again, if Sauron, the lord of the Dragon Court Woodland, wanted to kill this somewhat comical fire sacrifice, he wouldn't have to wait until now.

So, his order was only to keep it in custody for the time being.

Hearing the lord's order, the militia of the two towns quickly dragged the obscene-looking and hairy fat man aside.

The guard officer snorted coldly with a threatening look in his eyes, and then took the lead in the underground warehouse with the cross sword in his hand.

Just in case, Thorin and the dwarves, one by one, quickly followed behind the guard officer Leon.

After about five minutes, after a careful inspection to make sure that there was no danger underground.

Zoro took a serious look at the underground warehouse. From his point of view, the entire warehouse was like a secret room, made of cyan marble.

The length and width of the area are about the same as the spacious hall of the lord above.

A wooden box blocked the way, and the two swordsmen standing beside him immediately stepped forward and opened the lid of the wooden box.

Full of gold coins, people feel dizzy, conservatively estimated to be as many as 5,000. Although for the wealthy town of Agate River, this is just a little pocket money that is casually thrown away in the underground warehouse. But for any town lord, this is already equal to half a year's tax for the entire town.

Still, Sauron's gaze naturally swept over the gold coins, and his attention turned to the more valuable things in this underground warehouse.

………………

When it comes to forging weapons and armor, as long as it comes from the hands of the gray dwarves, it is often priceless.

Sauron admired the Grey Dwarf's craft. At the same time, it is also very clear that the human casting guild will never reach the level of gray dwarves, not even the dwarves of the Dragon Court woodland.

"I think we're going to have a heavily armed army soon!"

The lord's words made Ares and Thorin look at each other and smile, each reading the excitement in the other's eyes.

However, the bracket placed in front of everyone is made of high-quality steel plate pressed and formed, and the column is 6 meters high and there is no joint in the middle. Features: Large load-bearing capacity, not easy to deform.

More than 3,000 sets of hoplite armor were laid out on several rows of heavy supports.

And around this warehouse, there are also polished shields and heavy swords on display.

The style of these delicate armors, battle helmets and armor is very similar to Yasuo's impression of the ring armor of the ancient Roman legions, which enlarges the small armor leaves of the scale armor into large arc-shaped armor pieces, which are closely connected layer by layer.

Although it looks like the same style, but in weight and texture, it is not the same as the impression of the Roman ring armor. In addition, this ring armor also has knee pads and leg guards, combat boots, and a heavy battle skirt with split front and back.

Sauron only tried it with his own sword, and knew that the defensive power of these ring armor was definitely superior to that of scale armor, chain mail and chain mail.

It's just that for humans, the cost of this armor is too high, and the manufacturing process is too complicated, which makes the maintenance and economy of the ring armor not good. For ordinary human lords, it is more practical than spending a lot of money, casting quality unevenly, and the process is complicated, as well as chain mail.

In Zoro's cognition, looking at the known world of mankind, only gray dwarves can forge the finest quality and almost zero maintenance ring armor.

"Let's do it, move it all here. Two squads are going to dismantle Valentine's slave carts, and we should be able to use those pack carts. ”

With Thorin's relaxed shout, the dwarves and militia began to vacate the warehouse.

But how much does such a pair of armor from the hands of the gray dwarves weigh?

Perhaps just now, Zoro himself hadn't thought about it.

Leon, the officer of the guard, tried to put on it on the spot. According to the Guard Officer Leon himself, the heavy armor on his shoulders and back weighed down his neck, and the weight of his elbows and the bezels of his skirt made him feel tired when he moved.

"The armor and helmets alone weigh more than a hundred catties, not counting the swords and shields. This is simply unimaginable for ordinary people. It is no wonder that Baron Abraham did not use these armors. Sauron thought to himself.

If it were a skilled forger, or blacksmith, Sauron would have used their experience to analyze the weight of each curved piece of armor, each set of decorations, and each piece of padding, and their statistics would be accurate and comprehensive, and the weight of the armor would naturally be known.

But for now, Sauron's first task is to empty and get out of here as soon as possible.

"My lord, what about these captives?"

When all the armor was loaded, Behringer's apprentice escorted more than 50 of Valentine's men, sweating profusely, to ask Yasuo, who was riding on horseback.

"All nailed around this square. We should properly warn others to stop trampling and desecrating this unfortunate land. Zoro said expressionlessly.

The cold voice made many people feel a chill. But unexpectedly won Yabu's approval, "From Jian Tian, you have become a true lord. ”

………………

The distance between Agate River Town and Longting Woodland is not far, and it only takes half a day to ride a horse. On foot, it takes a day.

Twenty pack beast vehicles, if marching during the day, are as conspicuous as earthworms on a bald man's head. Choosing to start his journey at dusk, Zoro didn't want to make a fuss.

The form in front of us is unclear, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious. It was ordered that only a limited number of torches should be left, and that the speed should be kept even, and that the Dragoncourt Woodland should be visible at dawn.

"It's not fair! It's so unfair! ”

At this time, the fire sacrifice who was personally led by the guard officer Leon walked on the rope, his heart was full of unwillingness and anger, and he was almost about to explode.

But he knew that was not a wise thing to do. On the contrary, he may be rewarded with a few whips, and the few apprentices in the shade of the green are following his ass without leaving an inch.
