Verse 90 Ah, bait!
Because it was nighttime and the light was insufficient, a black crow parked near the window of the car could not be spotted unless you looked closely.
Nelson was still hesitant to switch back to the mage class, but when he saw that the crow was still stopping, he had to let out a small sigh and give up.
"Let me be that shameful cosplay woman in front of others, you might as well kill me!" Nelson thought to herself, but a smile appeared on her face and said, "Mr. Medivan, it seems that you have already inquired about something. ”
The crow's black eyes rolled slightly, and he jumped lightly onto Nelson's shoulder, and said, "Fibo City has been taken over by the Temple, and it seems that the fire we put before we left is causing some trouble." ”
"The fire?" Nelson recalled, oh, it seemed like there was a fire - Medivan used the "Firestorm" to save herself, and the entire wave of web-forming spiders was dissolved.
"Ahem, Mr. Medivan, that fire wasn't set by 'us', it was you who put it. I don't have that much magic. Nelson laughed dryly.
"That's not the point. Boy, as a citizen of Great Britain, don't you know the significance of the existence of the three orc tribes outside Fibo City? Madivin the raven pecked at Nelson's temple.
"Lord Raven, you're not a woodpecker again! Why don't you change back to your human form? Nelson hurriedly blocked Madison's "offensive" with his hands.
"The temple has sent many people to arrest me, all mages and ogres will be captured and returned to the Temple of Light for questioning, although I am not afraid of this group of guys, but I don't want to cause too much trouble. The crow form has no mana fluctuations, kid, aren't you covering your mana flow? ”
"Well, I agree with the phrase 'don't get into trouble'. You just said the meaning of the existence of the orc tribe, it is really strange to think about it, why would the orc tribe be allowed to develop in the human city? Nelson touched his chin and asked in a low voice.
"Because you still have a knighthood, the history of your country is so unclear. The three tribes are not simple small tribes, but the three representatives of the 'Three Axe Alliance', the strongest orc alliance in the northwest of the continent, who are stationed here for equal trade with human nations. ”
"Stationed? So why launch a beast tide? Nelson asked, puzzled.
"The natural tide of animals is irregular. Thanks to the leadership of the three tribes, the fecundity of the herd around Fibo City will be suppressed in the form of a beast tide at a fixed time. This 'beast tide' is actually a tripartite agreement between humans, orcs, and beasts, with humans exercising to strengthen their troops, orcs exercising hunting skills, and beasts digesting the survival pressure caused by overbreeding. ”
"After all, even if I didn't burn the plains to drive away the web-forming spiders. When the spider colony is lost to a certain extent, the hunters will retreat on their own with the beast tide. ”
After Madison explained, Nelson finally understood the problem posed by the firestorm.
Although it was the mage's doing, after all, it was the humans who broke the tripartite agreement and slaughtered the herd excessively, and this balance was broken, so it evolved into a higher level of negotiation.
Medivan continued, "The Temple of Light has vouched for your country, claiming to capture me and hand me over to the Three Axes, and temporarily taking over Fibo City. So the situation is very tense now, and many innocent wandering mages and ogres hiding in caves have been caught. ”
Nelson was a little worried, thinking that the Templars had captured Zar and Eureka, and if there was a way to get their memories, both himself and Medivan might be exposed.
"So, before you reach the Imperial City, you have to rescue the two ogres in the prison?" Nelson asked.
"That's right, and to save them from looking like an accident, not letting the temple notice them is the key clue to finding out the truth about this incident."
Accidental?
Nelson squinted his eyes and thought about the countermeasure: if the convoy was moving at full speed, it would only be a day-and-a-half-day drive from the Imperial City, and it would be very difficult to create an accident in an unfamiliar environment without sufficient preparation time.
"I'll keep a doppelganger of crows in touch with you. Now I'm going to fly to the front of the convoy and see which location is suitable for causing this accident, and then you can cooperate with me and I should be able to save them both." ”
After Madison finished his advice, he flew out of the car on his own before Nelson could nod. A few minutes later, another crow stopped on the eaves of the window, but it never spoke again, as motionless as a wooden carving.
After a day and a night of secret trials, he tried to save Zal from the mountains and finally failed. All kinds of things came down, and Nelson felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Accidents don't happen that quickly, Nelson felt his eyelids feel a little heavy, so he pulled out a blanket from the bottom of the yellow wooden box, covered his body and fell asleep.
Nelson didn't sleep soundly, because the carriage was bumpy and the morning frost was cold, and he woke up at a little light.
Of course, the main factor waking up Nelson was a nightmare. He dreamed that his castle had been blown up, and that it had been blown up by the two little ones, Tirio and Nat.
"What a terrible dream." Nelson sat up, touched the Hearthstone to conjure up the Hearthstone Sandbox, and then opened the box to make sure his castle wasn't there.
Although the lord himself was not in the castle, Tirio and Nat, who were the attendants, still got up before dawn.
Tirio's first job is to handle official business for Nelson, some trivial matters in the city, Tirio is authorized to approve directly, and the more important decision-making documents will be organized on the side of the desk, waiting for Nelson to return to make decisions.
Nat's first job is to clean the castle with Lily, a dwarf. The castle is large and prone to dust, so Nat cleans it in different areas every day.
Nelson's nightmare certainly didn't come true, and the castle was managed by the two of them in an orderly manner, so naturally it wouldn't blow up.
But zooming in on the remote real-time map and taking a closer look, Nelson noticed some changes inside the castle.
One is that there is an extra black cat in the fort. The cat follows Lily all the time, does not fight or make trouble, and walks in a very elegant posture.
"Why does this cat look so spicy and familiar?" Nelson sat cross-legged and zoomed in, zoomed in and out on the map.
Suddenly, the black cat glanced up at Nelson, as if he could sense that he was being watched by something, and actually showed a weird smile.
"There's something wrong with this cat's cliff!" Nelson and the black cat looked at each other for a long time, but they felt that they had been seen through, and they were in a very bad mood.
Because he was unhappy, Nelson quickly switched the camera to Nate.
Today Nat cleans the pond in the backyard. It is said that it is a pond, but in fact, the fish in it have long since died.
The economy of Stadt City is not in a good mood, and Nelson is naturally not in the mood to raise fish in the fish pond, so he just asks his subordinates to clean up the weeds in the pond regularly and keep it clean.
Nat was a small man, holding a long fishing net, and he looked a little struggling.
Although there were not many weeds in the pond, they could fill the entire net pocket after scooping it around, and the pole was very long, and Nat did not have much strength, so he almost planted people in the pond with the net several times.
"Since the pond doesn't raise fish, let's just order them to fill in the pond next time, and save the effort of cleaning it." Nelson was just thinking about this when he suddenly heard a "ding" sound, and it seemed that he had obtained a new card.
Nelson opened the virtual game interface with a wink, and was dumbfounded when he looked at the card collection.
"Fish-man baby? That's, isn't it? ”
Looking at the net pocket in Nat's hand, a sky blue fish-man baby really popped out of a pile of weeds, and what was even more ridiculous was that this baby was really holding a stone short sword in his hand!
"Nimayo, the fishing king was originally used to fish people! The baby is so good! Nelson couldn't help but complain.
