Chapter 549: Talking and Laughing
After communicating with Merin Sera for a long time, Roddy actually has a much deeper understanding of the dragon clan than ordinary people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He, like everyone else, once thought that dragons were an unattainable "superior race". Strong, long-lived, intelligent and arrogant. But after listening to so many dragon stories told by Milensella, Roddy realized that these guys also have "shortcomings" and "loopholes".
The simplest description is "not grounded". Because of the noble bloodline, the dragon clan rarely encounters resistance when going out to "carry out tasks". This is just like the second generation of officials and rich people relying on the influence of their parents to run rampant in the place, almost all civilized races are full of fear and respect for the dragon clan, so the dragon clan is very "simple and rude" in the way of handling things.
If you don't accept it, you will fight, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die. If you are pleasing to the eye, you are my little brother, and if you are not pleasing to the eye, Lao Tzu will beat you to death first.
There is no need to intrigue, no need to use any brains, after a long time, these dragons who go out on tasks generally do not have high emotional intelligence. In other words, it is very simple, and even the view of things is generally in the stage of pure dualism of "either good or bad".
This means that once they think they can be trusted, then there is much more room for negotiation.
If they are allowed to mix among the nobles of the Karen Kingdom, they definitely belong to the category that will be eliminated naturally. But the dragons' strong bloodline and strength allow them to ignore almost all rules, because they themselves are the few beings who make the rules.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Luo Di at this time can take it seriously and guide them into the trap arranged by himself step by step.
"Your Excellency Iskar, Ms. Kardashian, Your Excellency Essien. ”
After the other party introduced himself, Luo Di did not forget to pull the side of Mai Linsera to salute together. At this time, Mai Lin Sera naturally did not show her flaws, and she couldn't show any resentment with her low eyebrows.
"I named these 'xenos' 'Tevelin', which is a description of the half-blood demons of hell by the bards of the kingdom of Karen, so I used them rashly. Roddy stretched out his hand to invite a few dragons to take a seat, "There are two hundred and thirty-seven people in the entire Teflin clan, all of whom are in this village, and if the three of you want to conduct research, I will fully cooperate." ”
"I've seen a lot of them in this situation, and I'm just here to confirm the situation. ”
Iskar's words have softened a lot, and he is slightly more clever than Kardashian's domineering. At least Iskar knows the importance of "taking in the little brother", otherwise the dragon clan will not be able to do anything if he has to run errands himself. Now that there is a human being who is the opposite of Augustine who is willing to stand up and help him, and the other party has provided quite useful information, then it is natural to give face.
"There are a lot of cases? It seems that there are not a few people who have been infected like Tevelyn. I thought they were the only Tasman. Because their elders said they had not seen anything of their kind again. ”
Luo Di sighed, and his posture was still very low. Kardashian was very impressed by such a respectful look, and she waved her hand and said, "It's true that this small place of Tasman has not seen other examples, we are talking about the entire continent." ”
It's really mentally retarded...
Melin Sera on the side had to admire Roddy's ability to speak. He didn't ask at all, but put on a posture of "Oh, you're so good, I've never seen anything", and then just waited for the other party to show off the information.
Many people don't understand the advantages of "information asymmetry", and the same is true for the two dragons at the moment. They have been traveling across continents for a long time, and they don't realize how important this kind of information is to the informed-informed humanity. And Luo Di was naturally happy to pick up this bargain, and said with admiration: "This is the first time in my life that I have walked out of the Karen Kingdom, and I am short-sighted, so naturally I can't compare with several Excellencies." ”
This kind of secret sycophant made Iskar and Kardashian very comfortable, but Roddy naturally not only slapped the horse, but also began to gradually probe: "But although I haven't traveled much, I have a long-standing grudge with the Augustine of Tasman." I've fought with him a few times now, both openly and secretly, and I have some doubts and want to report to a few of your Excellencies, I wonder if it can take a few minutes?"
"Grudge against you?" Kardashian thought she had caught Roddy's boast, and said mercilessly, "Do you think too highly of yourself?"
"Kardashian. ”
Iskar took the initiative to stop him, which was obviously an initiative to show favor to Roddy. And Roddy was not annoyed, he showed a grateful look at Iskar, nodded and continued: "I didn't think that an undead monarch would target me specifically, but everything has to start with the lord of Evta, Duke Rusifron..."
From Ansardine's potion, to Magda's assassination, to Belom's decisive battle at Elson, Roddy's simple narrative emphasizes the sharp conflict between Augustine and the kingdom of Karen, and this conflict completely turns into a conflict between him and Roddy when Augustine's orc avatar destroys the elemental plane portal.
The narration from beginning to end only took three or four minutes, but the expressions of the two dragons changed again and again. From the disapproving frivolity at first to the solemnity of the final deep frown, Iskar and Kardashian glanced at each other, and then turned their heads together to look at the crystal dragon Essien, who nodded expressionlessly: "He didn't lie. ”
The weight of Roddy's words can be said to have risen sharply, the two dragons were very concerned about Augustin's spell to smash the "Elemental Portal", and asked a few questions about the details, and after receiving the answer, Iskar obviously confirmed something, and said in a low voice: "It seems that everything is in accordance with the record, the original spell fluctuations were emitted by Augustine, which proves that Augustine himself has mastered some forbidden spells, and now he has applied these to the study of the magic circle." ”
"Does that mean that Augustine sought out these Tevrins just to perfect his sorcery studies, or... Sacrifice them for some ritual?"
After the clues became clear, Roddy's inference was not far from the truth, and apparently Iskar and Kardashian thought the same. And Roddy, who was carefully observing, saw a little jealousy and... Eager.
Although I don't know what attitude these dragons have towards Augustine, since the dragons can let the younger generation come out and solve the problem on their own, then it is obvious that they have been sent a mission. And whether it is elimination or investigation, there will be a criterion for the completion of the task - "investigate Augustine's behavior" and "kill Augustine", which of the two results can enhance status and popularity, Roddy feels that there is no need to think about it at all.
Augustine is certainly powerful, but how can the dragon clan lack high-end combat power?
"My idea is to secretly transfer these Tevelins so that Augustine is completely unable to complete his vision. ”
This is naturally another pit: the tree is dead, the person is alive, and the experiment can't be done sooner or later, how can the dragon clan let Augustine continue to study forbidden spells? So he continued seemingly casually: "Augustine didn't know that I was ambushing under his nose right now, and it wasn't difficult to do this. Otherwise, once he knows that I am here, and learns that I defeated his tens of thousands of troops, it is estimated that this old bone will come out and kill me. ”
This last sentence is the final bait in Roddy's countless linguistic traps.
"Wait, you said you routed his army of tens of thousands?
Kardashian couldn't hold back and preemptively asked, and this reaction suddenly made Roddy know in his heart, he calmly faced Iskar and Kardashian's slightly puzzled eyes, and replied with a smile: "Speaking of which, maybe your Excellency doesn't believe it, this is something that is about to happen." ”
..................
While Roddy was chatting and laughing with several dragons, five teams composed of high elf mages, dragoon regiments, and barbarian soldiers had arrived at the location requested by Roddy one after another.
In the rainforests of the Tasman Kingdom, where it rains all the time, it is not easy to find your bearings. But with the help of the High Elf Mage, "locating" is much easier - the coordinates that have been accurately marked in advance by Houdini's prophecy have already been marked on the map, and what the High Elf Mage has to do is to use the reconnaissance spell to narrow the error and confirm the final location.
It has to be said that the pre-positioning of the "Prophecy Department" Magus is far more important in this war than imagined. Although Houdini was not personally involved in the front-line battles, the coordinate map he provided gave Roddy's team a lot of time to explore.
Now that Erwin's team had arrived at the predetermined location, after the robed female High Elf mage waved that he could start moving, he immediately beckoned his fellow clansmen to get up: "Get up and get to work! Everything is done as we learned in Elson!
"Yes!"
Six dragoons were also on hand to assist. What they did was unload the slabs they had carried along the way, and then assemble them according to the pattern they had trained in advance - the circle was not square or round in the usual sense, but every three pieces could be stacked to form a small tower of one cubic meter square.
Each team carried seven of these tower-shaped circles, and after the rapid assembly was completed, they began to inlay the spars, and each small tower was inlaid with twenty-seven spars and placed them at a distance of about fifty meters, forming two diamond-shaped shapes that alternated up and down, covering hundreds of square meters.
Because the terrain here has a lot of slope, you also need a high elf mage to cast spells to confirm the same interval.
Erwin knew that the good-looking High Elf mage was not a living person, but a puppet controlled by Akasha, so he always felt that he would have difficulty communicating with the other party. But to his surprise, the mage understood his words very clearly from beginning to end, and even commanded in the standard lingua franca:
"Knight, please move the circle three more steps to your right. ”
"Okay, it's time to fix the circle. ”
After waving his staff, activating and confirming that the linkage of the seven magic circles was successful, the high elf mage blinked, turned back to Erwyn, and said, "Everything is ready, Captain Erwin, we just need to stand by now." ”
"Oh, oh, okay. Thank you for your hard work. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Listening to the other party's answer, Erwin always had some delusion - did the other party smile at him just now? )
