Chapter 189: The Gift
Taking advantage of the free time on the march, I found Duke Clives and asked him, "Lord Duke, why didn't the Imperial envoys go directly to the Orc Empire from the Northern Fortress, but had to go around in such a big circle?" "I've been holding this question in my heart for a long time, obviously if I go from the Northern Fortress, it won't take me a month to reach the Orc Empire, I really can't figure out why I want to take a long detour.

"What? Can't hold it back? I thought you wouldn't ask. Duke Clives looked at me with a smile and said: "Actually, it's nothing to tell you, if you go from the northern fortress, the orc tribe close to the northern fortress is more difficult to talk to, and it belongs to the tribe that hates humans more, and you may be attacked as soon as you leave the fortress from that side, and." Duke Clives paused to make sure no one was eavesdropping before he whispered, "And we feel that the orcs over there in the Northern Fortress are being controlled by the Faceless." ”
"Are you sure?" It's the Faceless Again, it seems that there are the most Faceless Ones on this continent, except for the one I killed in the Dwarf Kingdom, there are still ten Faceless Ones that have not been eliminated, or have been dealt with I don't know.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Duke Clives nodded affirmatively and said, "You've been to Boulder City and Sref, and you should have some understanding of the Orc Empire's attacks every few years. ”
"Well, I probably know." I nodded and replied, of course I understand, what is the attack of the Orc Empire, is it simply a head, okay? I'm wondering how many officer positions in the Empire of Light have been exchanged for food.
"The empire has also sent envoys from that direction before, but they all lost contact after passing the northern fortress, and we have asked the orc empire about the envoy through the dwarf king, but the orc empire said that there is no envoy at all, and." Duke Clives frowned and said, "And it seems that the current lion king of the Orc Empire can no longer control the orc army close to the northern fortress. ”
"So, it's really possible to be a faceless." And if you want to master an army, one Faceless One is probably not enough, at least five. "Then you can get in touch with the lion king of the orc empire through the dwarven kingdom? What if the border cards on this side of the Dwarven Kingdom are also controlled by the Facelesss? ”
"Don't worry, His Majesty has already made contact with the Lion King through the Dwarven King, yes"
"Daddy!" Just as I was talking to Duke Clives about the Faceless Ones, a nasty voice came from the back of the line, and then I saw Reginald running from behind with a man riding a horse-shaped monster, came to us, and directly picked up the man behind him and threw him to the ground, and said to Duke Clives, "Dad, I brought this kid Craig with me." ”
After Reginald finished speaking, he slapped his son on the back of the head, and said in a tone of hatred: "What are you doing stupidly? Don't call someone else's brother yet! ”
"Eh, we're not that familiar, don't be so affectionate." I looked at Reginald and his son with a look of disgust, pointed at Reginald and said to Duke Clives, "I'll say first, he's not allowed to harass Elle on the road, otherwise don't blame my men." ”
"Huh? What do you mean, why am I harassing Ellie, why can't I talk to my daughter-in-law? Reginald listened to me, stopped doing it at once, and shouted at me with a stiff neck.
"Shut up!" Duke Clives dodged to Reginald's side, kicked him off his horse directly, and said angrily: "You give me a few words, Li Jun is right, if I see you harassing Ellie, no one else will do it, Lao Tzu will be the first to fix you!" ”
"Brother!" At this moment, Ellie ran from the front of the team, holding a cute blue bird in her arms, and shouted to me happily as she ran: "Brother, look, the little Sheymour Eagle that Dean Bol gave me at this time, don't you think it's beautiful?" "Shemo Hawk? The strongest aerial unit created by the Mage Alliance to target the dragon, Dean Bol's skill is really not small. Although it is a young Symo Eagle, when he grows up, the Symo Eagle is a great help for the mage.
"Ah, big liar!" When Elle ran to the front and saw Reginald, she exclaimed in surprise and stood there without moving, looking like she wasn't going to come.
Duke Clives was embarrassed by Elle's big liar, and reflexively raised his hand to smoke Reginald, but his hand was halfway up as if he thought of something, and put it down a little shyly, and said to Elle with a smile: "Come, Elle, we are not afraid, Grandpa is here, he doesn't dare to mess around, Grandpa also has a gift for you here." "No, no, Dean Bol has sent the Shemo Eagle out, if he doesn't say anything, he always feels that he is compared to Dean Bol.
Duke Clives said and turned a few times on the space ring on his hand, took out a dagger with a black body, walked up to Elle and said with a smile: "Elle, don't look at this dagger looks ugly, it is made of Ugin throughout, extremely sharp, indestructible, and it is the most suitable for self-defense." "These two old men really paid a lot of money to kidnap Ai Li to the imperial capital.
"No, Elle thinks it's pretty." Ellie's eyes lit up at the dagger in Duke Clives' hand, and she knew she really liked it, but instead of reaching for it, she turned to look at me. The reason for the Taker Eagle is that the little Symo Eagle is very cute and beautiful, and Ellie just treats it as a pet and doesn't know its value. And this dagger is different, listening to the introduction of Duke Clives, you can see that this dagger is very valuable, although she likes it very much, but she is willing to accept it casually without my nod.
"Elle, you can take it." I looked at Elle and said.
"A good sentence from the elders, you can't say it, who said this?" At this time, Dean Bol came out from behind and asked me in a loud voice.
"It's just a proverb from my hometown, Ellie, come here, my brother asks you a question." I beckoned to Elle, I was going to ask Elle what she thought, to see if she wanted to follow the two old men to the imperial capital to study, after a few days of contact, I found that Dean Bol and Duke Clives really liked Elle to the bone, and almost didn't recognize her as a goddaughter.
"Ellie, do you want to go to the imperial capital with your two grandfathers to learn martial arts and magic?" I asked, taking Ellie's little hand and pointing to the two old men who were looking at us directly.
"Go to the imperial capital?" Elle hesitantly glanced at the Seemo Eagle on her shoulder, then at the dagger in her hand, and asked with a pout, "If you don't go, do you want to return the eaglet and the dagger?" ”
"You don't have to pay it back, you don't have to pay it back, Elle, you don't have to go to the imperial capital and you don't have to return the things to us, the grandfathers gave it to you, why do you want to pay it back?" When the two old men heard Ellie's words, they hurriedly expressed their position, and at the same time looked at each other happily, they found that the two things they gave were still useful, at least Ellie did not refuse at once.
"How long do you have to stay in the emperor?" Elle asked, tilting her head in thought for a moment.
"Of course, you can stay as long as you want, so it's better to stay at my house and not leave." At this time, Reginald, who had been holding back and not speaking, opened his mouth to mutter.
"Do you want to live in his house? Then I'm not going. When Elle heard Reginald's words, she just quit. Hearing Elle say no, I don't need to look at it to know how dark the faces of Dean Bor and Duke Clive should be now, there should have been a chance, just because of Reginald's words...... I can imagine what will happen next.
Sure enough, as soon as Elle said no, I saw a wave of anger erupt from Duke Clives, and he pounced on Reginald at once. Dean Bor also pulled out his staff from the spatial ring, and the magic light all over his body flashed wildly, and then all kinds of magic hit Reginald.
This attack was really ruthless, Dean Bor didn't feel embarrassed at all, and Duke Clives didn't mean to show mercy at all, and beat Reginald to scream again and again. Ten minutes later, Duke Clives and Abbot Bor came back to Ellie, as for Reginald, he had been carried away by the surrounding soldiers and went to the priest of light who accompanied the team for treatment.
"Ellie, don't listen to his nonsense, after we arrive in the imperial capital, will we live in the mage academy?" Dean Bol said to Elle with a kind face, and Duke Clives on the side looked a little unwilling, but thinking about Elle's reaction just now, he could only nod helplessly to the side.
"Ellie, you can stay in the imperial capital for as long as you want, you decide for yourself, if you are homesick, let your grandfather Izaro pull you back, stay at home for a few days, and then use the teleportation scepter to teleport back to the imperial capital, okay?" I'm a little embarrassed to see the two old people look like this, so let's just stick to them.
"Can I take Shuck and Beta with me?" Ellie asked, looking at Shuke and Beta, who were staring at her behind her.
"Of course you can, Elle can bring as many people as you want, grandpa promises to help you arrange it properly." Hearing that Ellie was relieved, Dean Bol immediately patted his chest and reassured.
"Okay, when the time comes, my brother will let Uncle Priest and Sister Nancy, and Sister Lena go to the imperial capital with you, okay?" Just let Nancy go to the imperial capital to stay, let them solve the matter between her and Lao Pu by themselves, I really can't think of any way.
