"You hat is so stupid, you look like an exiled refugee. ”

"You're stupid, okay, I've never seen anyone wear a green hat, it's winter, you should bring a white one even if you disguise it, okay?"

Rubens and Stica have become the team's poor-mouthed kings, bickering with each other wherever they go. In order to assist Roddy in investigating the ruins, they went to the market in Hollier City to buy their own "outfits". Compared with the clothes worn by the dragons themselves, their equipment is very rustic at the moment, which also causes them to constantly complain about each other's aesthetic standards...

"Esin, where did you buy this sheepskin jacket?

Rubens turned the conversation to the tall and taciturn Essien, who pointed to the market on the other side of Elsa's village, Rubens' eyes lit up, and he turned his head and said, "Roddy, I'll take a look!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's move freely first, and gather at the entrance of the village in half an hour." ”

Luo Di waved his hand: "I'll go to the village chief first, you are free." ”

Kardashian was dressed as a mage, which was similar to her usual clothes, and as an ice dragon, she didn't feel the cold at all, but in order not to show her flaws, she still wore a thick cloak and hood. Iskar was in the play, he was carrying an exaggerated backpack, and he was rubbing his hands next to him, and asked in a trembling tone, "We, shall we go to the wine and tavern for a while?"

Nata wanted to laugh inexplicably, and Kardashian rolled her eyes: "Is this really a stage play..."

Stica is dragged by Rubens to the market to pick out a hat, and the rest of the four go down to the tavern with Nata's lead. Lando had already walked away from Roddy at this time, and he couldn't help but look back, always feeling that this group of people gave him a strange feeling - seeing Roddy's flat face, he still couldn't hold back: "Prime Minister, they are... The mercenary you found?"

said that it was a mercenary, then this group of people was too impolite, and they didn't say anything to the dignified prime minister, but they all had a hippie smile. And Luo Di also looked unimpressed, and said casually: "Yes, a few friends who are mercenaries." ”

He didn't explain more, and Lando didn't bother to ask. With the strength of this wood elf, he really couldn't detect how strong those mercenaries were... After staying in the market for a long time, Lando can be regarded as having dealt with all kinds of people, and the fierce aura on the mercenaries is very obvious, they are all engaged in killing business, and the smell of blood is easy to detect.

But these guys... It can't be a new entrant, right?

Just as he was thinking, the door of the village chief's wooden house was already close in front of him, and Lando stopped moving forward, consciously three or four steps behind: "Lord Roddy... It's here. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

He was very polite to Lando, and after knocking on the door, a haggard Brudy came to open the door, and was stunned for several seconds when he saw Roddy, then rubbed his eyes, and was about to salute - "Prime Minister..."

Luo Di grabbed him: "Shhhh ”

Brudy nodded and quickly closed the door as Roddy walked in.

After entering the house, Luo Di didn't put up a stand, sat in front of the fire and talked to the wood elf village chief about what had happened recently, seeing his sad face, Luo Di opened his mouth and asked, "The situation is very bad?"

"Originally, I didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just a few village chiefs who were messing with me. But in just a month, almost all of the Wood Elf villages have been cut off from us, and this is certainly not an isolated act. I suspect it was Barty who did it, but there is no evidence. I want to search, but..."

He didn't shy away from it, and said honestly: "A few days ago, I went to look for Frank, and I ran into a killed earth dragon on the way. It was obviously a warning to us by force, and I felt that the current strength of Elsa Village might not be able to deal with such a thing as an earth dragon, so I didn't dare to continue. ”

Roddy listened to his narration and felt strange: "Kill the earth dragon, but you didn't take anything but the magic crystal, just put the corpse there to warn you?"

"Prime Minister, I think... This may have been Frank's somewhat reluctant warning. ”

Brudy continued: "Just yesterday, similar monster corpses were found on the road to two other villages. They were all killed in the middle of the road. If they really fell out with me, they just sent someone to say a word, why do they have to do this? I know the temperament of those old guys, they are not cruel and ruthless people, and suddenly doing this, maybe there is an unspeakable bitterness behind them. ”

Roddy doesn't know the chiefs of other villages, so he can only accept Brudi's statement. However, the situation in Elsa Village is obviously a bit strange at the moment - except for here, the other wood elf villages in the entire Silent Forest have been cut off, he pondered for a moment, and said to Brudi: "Don't go anywhere recently, there is also a curfew at night, remember to be safe." ”

Brudy nodded vigorously, his words to Roddy must now be 100% executed: "That... If you need my help, feel free to do so. ”

At the beginning, Brudy could still call Roddy by his first name, but now he is a standard subordinate gesture. Roddy knew that this was unavoidable, so he was not modest, and got up and responded: "It's good that Elsa Village is developing like this, I'll go to the forest with a few friends, just don't say who I am." ”

After that, he said goodbye and left, but Roddy did not immediately go to the entrance of the village to find Kardashian and the others, but pulled on his hood and came to the sentry on the outskirts of the village alone - the soldiers here were a little stunned when they saw Roddy, because his appearance often appeared in "The Age of Karen", but at this time, the soldiers of Elsa Village did not believe that the prime minister would come to such a place where birds do not.

Roddy didn't talk nonsense, he took out a badge and a piece of paper: "Check it." ”

The soldiers standing guard immediately stood up and saluted. After taking the object, he took out a small magic circle and placed the emblem on it to confirm his identity. At the same time, the literate captain of the sentry post was also called, and after seeing the contents of this piece of paper, his face changed greatly, and he said uprightly: "Prime Minister!"

"I'm not going to mobilize you to fight, but I need to get a few things. ”

He explained a few words, and the soldier immediately understood, and pulled out a long metal pipe about half a meter from the sentry. Roddy took it and thought, "There are still rich people here, right?"

"Report Prime Minister! From last month to now, we will check every day, and the number of spare pieces is more than four!"

Satisfied with the soldier's answer, Roddy carefully examined the integrity of the circle in his tube, and after confirming it, hung it on the side of the quiver behind his back.

Leaving the sentry, Roddy arrived at the gate of the village on time, and found that Kardashian and the others were already waiting here. Stika finally swapped out the green hat and was arguing with Rubens about whether a knife was better or better. The others listened to their poor mouths helplessly, and when they saw Roddy coming, Kardashian immediately showed a look of "relief": "Let's go, let me listen to the two of them again, I can't help but beat people." ”

Roddy hurriedly arranged the task: "Nata leads the way directly to the place where it was attacked, let's try to find it before dark." If there is an attack in the middle of the way..."

"Then let them experience despair!"

Rubens waved the knife in his hand and posed as if he were singing a opera. Luo Di felt that this guy's second illness was indeed not light, and said helplessly: "I mean... After being attacked, don't be in a hurry to eliminate the other party. Our goal is to find out the identity of the attacker, so we mainly capture them alive, and if we encounter other mercenary groups..."

Seeing that Rubens was about to speak again, Stika directly pressed him back: "Can you die if you talk less nonsense?"

Nata's shoulders twitched twice, stifling a laugh. Roddy coughed dryly: "Stica is the most keen-eyed in the forest, and it's best if she can find the ruins, and if she can't find it, the news of other mercenary groups is also very important - but... If they have malicious intent, then what to do with it. ”

"That's right! My long knife is already hungry and thirsty!"

Rubens smiled, strode with a relaxed face, and began to walk out of the village. After taking a few steps, he realized that the others were headed in the other direction under Nata's leadership - so he could only trot two steps awkwardly and catch up with the group.

Five dragons, a prime minister, and a wood elf, this powerful "mercenary group" soon disappeared in the vast forest sea of the Silent Forest.

I'm going to climb the mountain tomorrow, and I'll have two thousand words later, forgive me.
