Chapter 406: Pinzhu, Moonlight Cane, Military Discussion
Another month passed after the dinner, but Moriarty was unable to come up with a second "+1 Space Lock Attribute" enchantment item. Hathaway had no idea of blaming her. After all, this kind of magic item that involves the rules of time and space is so easy to get, and the lack of progress in a short period of time is also the meaning of the topic.
It wasn't until another week later that Moriarty finally stepped out of the magical room and asked to meet the elven lord. Immediately, Hathaway, who was still in a military meeting, left the venue and met the other party in the underground garden.
"I'm sorry, Hathaway, for delaying so long."
Moriarty looked tired, his eyes were red, he looked like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and his voice was as dry as a traveler who had been trekking in the desert for a long time.
"What's wrong with your throat?" Ignoring the other party's apology, Hathaway frowned directly.
"It's nothing, it's just a little hoarse."
Moriarty waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
In fact, according to the physique of a mid-level warrior, he should not be lightly ill, but the crazy research that has hardly slept for a month has still brought his body to a critical point. This is the life of a scientific researcher, once you are interested in a project, there is nothing else in your eyes.
"Holding this in your mouth for a while will make your throat feel better."
Pursing her lips, Hathaway suddenly took out a small pink pearl from her bosom and handed it into Moriarty's mouth without saying a word.
"Hmm."
Moriarty passively took the beads in his mouth and put them under his tongue, and immediately felt a cool air quickly emanate from the base of his tongue. It travels rapidly along the inner wall of the mouth to the depths of the throat. After a while, the originally dry and dry throat became soothing and warm, and even the whole person was calm. And in addition to being refreshing and moisturizing, gradually, a faint honey fragrance rippled out of the pearl, and the fragrance was abnormal.
"It smells like this..."
As if suddenly remembering something, Moriarty suddenly looked up at Hathaway. Seeing this gaze, the dignified elf turned his head slightly with a blushing face, pretending to admire the flowers and plants on the side. Don't dare to look at it.
What else can be said?
Seeing Hathaway look like this. Moriarty knew he had guessed right. However, in this way, the relationship between the two is a little too ambiguous.
After a few more moments, Moriarty finally spat out the pink pearl in his palm, but he didn't know how to put it away on his own. Or return it to the other party.
Seeing Moriarty's face embarrassed. Hathaway also smiled sheepishly. He directly reached out and pinched the beads that still carried the other party's saliva on his fingertips, and quietly withdrew them into his bag.
"Ahem... My voice is really much better, thank you. "This kind of moment. Moriarty didn't know what to say, so he had to play dumb and thank him.
"That's fine." Hathaway nodded, her shame faded, and she didn't seem to want to make some of her intentions clear: "You came to me, is there good news again?" ”
"Yes." Moriarty swallowed lightly, as if there was sweetness echoing on the tip of his tongue, and at the same time took out an arm-long box and handed it to the other party.
"What is this?"
Hathaway took the long box expectantly and opened it, only to see that it contained a beautiful golden queen's scepter.
The entire scepter is about half a meter tall, and it is made of Mithril and is extremely lightweight. The body of the staff is inlaid with gold wire, outlining the lace of roses. It looks sophisticated and elegant. On the head of the staff is the shape of the moon ring of the ancient elven empire, arranged with three dazzling strange crystal stones, emitting a glimmer of light that seems to distort light.
"This is the 'moonshine cane' I made for you." Seeing that Hathaway was a little stunned when she looked at the scepter, Moriarty took it out directly and put it in her hands.
"Moonshine cane?"
Holding the cool handle of the staff, Hathaway immediately sensed a subtle force spreading around her, as if a faint layer of sand separated herself from the world around her.
"+1 Space Lock, you're really done!?" After feeling it for another moment, Hathaway finally raised her head and looked at Moriarty with joy and a certain admiration.
"You can say yes, you can say no." Moriarty smiled slightly and shook his head: "Actually, this cane is not an enchanted equipment in the true sense, but closer to a consumable item. ”
"Props?"
"Yes." Moriarty pointed to the three crystal stones on the top of the staff, a little regretful, and said with pride: "'Spatial Lock' is really difficult, and I can't solidify it with my current strength. So, in the end, I had to settle for the next best thing and make this expendable cane. Each crystal stone here, once exploded, grants the staff wielder a '+1 Space Lock' support. After a total of three times, the enchantment of the staff is gone. ”
"Three times? Enough is enough! ”
After learning about the pros and cons of moonshine canes, Hathaway was excited.
To be honest, even if there is only one "+1 space lock", she is already satisfied, after all, this is as some kind of killer deposit. And now Moriarty can guarantee three full attribute support, that is, it can support the next three extreme level battles, which is enough and sufficient.
"Ensberg, how do you think I should reward you? You are truly an enchanted genius, and I believe that one day you will become the 'Enchanted Emperor' of Nigon. Stroking the moonlight cane in her hand repeatedly, Hathaway laughed like a little girl.
"Enchanted Emperor? Hehe, this is the pinnacle that no one has reached in the heroic era. Seeing that his work was fully accepted and recognized, Moriarty also exhaled slowly and smiled heartily.
"Anyway, you said I would be the Elven Queen, so why can't you be the Enchanted Emperor?" Hathaway pouted slightly, retorting.
"This..."
The queen is with the emperor, and the elves' words are really difficult to accept, and Moriarty can only pretend not to hear.
"Well, that's just about the reward. You're done with the moonshine cane, and it's not enough to just cook a meal for you. Not noticing the other person's discoloration, Hathaway continued to smile to herself.
"That's enough." Moriarty hurriedly said, but for some reason added inexplicably: "Besides, didn't I taste pearls just now..."
"You!"
Hearing the other party suddenly say this, the elf Jidao immediately blushed and made a gesture to fight, but he endured it, and just glared at Moriarty.
"Hehe... Hehe..."The strange words came out, and Moriarty also knew that it was too frivolous, so he immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to see anyone.
"Alright, come with me. Just now, I was only halfway through the military discussion, and I was called out by this guy. Mortarty stinked again, and Hathaway turned and walked out of the garden.
"I'm going too?" Moriarty asked curiously.
"Hurry up and keep up."
Ignoring the other party's question, Hathaway snorted directly, and Moriarty, who was at a loss, could only follow honestly.
In the council room, the dark elf officers led by Alice were waiting boredly, but they saw Hathaway and Moriarty walking in one after another, and immediately looked strange, but on the surface they were serious and ready to continue the meeting.
"Halfway through, Alice, you go on."
Sitting down on his throne and motioning for Moriarty to sit down on the backmost seat, Hathaway said in a deep voice, regaining the nobility and unfathomability of the Dungeon Lord.
"Yes, sir." Alice swept the enchantment master who was inexplicably brought into the military council out of the corner of her eye, and said with a stern expression: "The strength of this march has been prepared, including a light armored infantry wing, a twin-tailed cavalry wing, a reinforced longbow wing, and a direct mage regiment, which are formed into a thousand-strong central legion. At the same time, it is also attached to a subsidiary corps of the same size, composed of cavemen and underground dwarf mercenaries, mainly responsible for supply transportation and battlefield firepower attraction. ”
The so-called fire attraction is synonymous with cannon ash, and it is a consumable item that can not be considered for gain or loss, which shows that the dark elves do not treat the people of their race as human beings at all. However, this behavior is no different from that of the Minotaur or the Eye Demon, and there is nothing unusual about it. However, the central legion is the main force of a thousand people as soon as it is shot, which is comparable to the Blue Crystal Legion, and it seems that the military strength of the dungeon is larger and stronger than the surface of the land.
"Well, yes, the offensive force is almost there. With the addition of the Eye Demon and the Ox Man, the total strength should be multiple of the 'Fallen Stars'. After listening to Alice's report, Hathaway nodded, but said, "Then have the personnel left behind also been arranged?" Although this time the three sides sent troops at the same time, it is also necessary to take precautions. ”
"It's also arranged, with the magic defense system with the lord's mansion as the core, as long as there is no extreme shot, it is enough to hold on for more than a month." Alice said immediately.
"Yes, you can. In addition, I must send someone to monitor the situation on the other two sides at all times, and report to me immediately if there is any change. ”
Hathaway nodded slightly, which was regarded as an approval of the military strategic layout plan.
Seeing this, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down again.
And looking at the incomparably majestic and inviolable elven lord sitting on the throne, and the two directly subordinate to the woman who was ambiguously opposite him in the garden just now, Moriarty couldn't help but admire the perfect unity of his two temperaments, and they each had their own aesthetic qualities, which made it difficult to judge.
As if sensing Moriarty's gaze, Hathaway also glanced at it lightly, but it flickered by.
"I know you all have questions about why you suddenly sent troops against the Fallen Stars. However, this is still top secret, and it cannot be made public at this time. As long as you remember, this battle is likely to determine the fate of our people for a thousand years, and even the fate of Nigon for a thousand years. Everyone must give their all, and there must be no slack! ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Immediately, all the officers in the chamber stood up and answered in a loud voice. At the same time, those doubts and doubts that were originally swirling in his heart were suppressed by the lord's extremely powerful declaration of war, so that they no longer dared to come out.
"Plus, I have one more thing to announce." Nodding his head and letting everyone sit down again, Hathaway suddenly said, "Now that Master Ensberg has joined my house, I now officially announce his appointment. (To be continued......)
