Chapter 18: Lord Warbringer
No human being with a normal mind would accept three big-eared monsters as his wife!
Otherwise, the taste is too heavy!
Looking at the three big-eared monsters who still couldn't believe it, Xin couldn't help but sigh again and emphasized: "Let's go, let's go, I need to study magic now, and I can't be disturbed by anyone." ”
"Yes, mighty general. ”
The three of them looked at each other and hesitated for a long time before they made a big salute again, and hurriedly turned around and fled out of the room.
"This king!" Rubbing sideways against the wall and falling on the bed, Xin sighed again and muttered, "It's sinister enough!"
Half an hour later, Xin reappeared in the king's "palace", and Gollum still maintained enough enthusiasm, but after hearing Xin's request, it quickly turned into coldness and resistance.
"Master Xin. After a moment of hesitation, Gollum sighed and replied, "Your decision is very difficult for me!"
"The king is merciful. A little sycophant was offered, and Xin immediately bowed his head slightly and explained: "I am always a human being, and I just want to be a mighty general now." The general should most go to expand the territory and conquer the city, rather than the trivial things of getting married and having children. What do you say?"
"Huh?" Gollum was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then showed a knowing smile: "Okay, come on, Master Xin, follow me to the back hall." ”
A hint of doubt flashed across Xin's face, but he also got up to keep up with Gollum's footsteps. When I turned into the back hall, I saw that there were countless maps in a mess.
"Master Xin, here. Gollum walked on his short legs and walked to a large map hanging on the wall, pointed to the crooked graphics on it, and said, "This is the map of the terrain and power around the country. ”
"Hmm. Xin nodded slightly in understanding, but the expression on his face became more and more stiff.
Bullshit map!
There is not even the most basic east-west-north-south, coordinate ruler and direction positioning, how do you look at it?
But he pointed to a piece of green at the top of the map, and said tentatively with a little doubt: "King, this place is an oasis?
"Clever!" Gollum suddenly laughed and exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's the mage's brain, it's much smarter than ordinary people." Second only to me, hahahaha!"
"Hehehe!" Xin immediately nodded with a smile: "So, who is our enemy?"
"Here. Since he couldn't reach that height, Gollum could only pick up a wooden stick and point to the southwest of the map: "There is a group of big-eared monsters living here, and the king has sent people to conquer it several times without success." Even Thorn failed one after another. ”
"Understood. Xin rolled his eyes and nodded in response: "How many of them are there, and how many people is the king going to give me?"
"Five hundred!" Gollum shook his palm of his hand, "No more, no less!" and I can only give you a hundred big-eared monsters, and thirty half-orcs. ”
"Half-orcs?" Xin suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's those dark green skin, huh?" ”
Looking at Gollum again, he frowned: "King, are you also a half-orc?"
"Yes. Gollum touched his round belly and nodded in acknowledgement, "The strength of our half-orcs is not comparable to those big-eared monsters!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The king was right. Xin immediately climbed up the pole: "According to the king's confidence in the half-orc race, plus these hundred big-eared monsters are not a lot."
"Or else. Xin pondered again for a moment and continued: "In the past two days, I have quietly prepared my troops, and on the third day, I will lead the team to destroy them. ”
"Okay! Gollum laughed and patted Xin's forearm: "If the mighty general wins, how about this king ask the warbringer to teach you a magic as a reward?"
For a magician, almost all his life will be immersed in the world of research and the use of magic.
And Xin, as a mage who doesn't know anything magic, is undoubtedly more interested in this kind of thing. Even as he learns the magic, he can try to decipher more.
For example, laws and laws or something.
The two discussed the matter of attacking the big-eared monster, and Xin couldn't help but turn his eyes and pleaded: "Then the king, can I go and talk to the warbringer now?"
"Good. Gollum nodded in agreement without hesitation: "He lives in the westernmost house, and he smells pungent all day long." ”
On the west side of the village, in the middle of the village, outside a house with the same stone walls and wooden roof, and the chimney on the right side kept emitting pungent white smoke, Xin pestle frowned with a three-pointed and two-edged knife.
The smell is too strong and too big, like a mixture of rotten fruit mixed with chili powder and steamed at high temperatures.
"Ahem, ahem!"
I couldn't help coughing lightly twice when I heard an unusually old greeting from the room: "Human, come in." ”
Xin's face was slightly embarrassed, this kind of behavior of standing in front of someone's door and not saying hello is like a little boy who has a crush on someone in his adolescent and hesitates to go in front of the girl's door, but is directly discovered by the other party.
Pushing the door into the house, when he saw the true face of the war messenger, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
Four-foot tall and skinny, with gray-green skin and big ears and protruding eyes, it turned out to be a big-eared monster!
"Sit down. The war messenger standing by the pot facing Xin on his side, dragging a plate of animal offal in his left hand, was putting them into the pot one by one in a certain order.
In the iron pot that exuded a strong and strange smell, there were various animal entrails and insect corpses floating, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching when he saw it.
Hearing the other party's greeting, Xin Cai nodded awkwardly in response, and came to the only place in the middle that could be called a table and sat down slowly.
"I feel the magic in you. The messenger of war put a large intestine into the pot: "But you have a knight's long weapon in your hand, why?"
Looking down at the three-pointed two-edged knife on his lap, Xin couldn't help but smile and explained, "Actually, I'm a puppeteer and I'm learning to control metal. ”
"Oh?" Pouring all the rest of the plate into the pot, the warbringer turned around and asked with a little confusion on his face, "Most of the puppeteers are in Braka, and only a few should be in Erich." ”
"The Wasteland of Crude is the wasteland of the Wastelanders. He sat down across the table: "Why are you here and what is your purpose?"
"Lost!" Xin immediately sighed and replied, "A nest of robbers attacked me and my retinue, and I really had to flee to the Crude Wasteland. As a result, however. ”
Speaking of this, Xin couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "I can't get out." ”
The big-eared monster war messenger always stared at Xin's eyes, and when he noticed the helplessness in his wry smile, he immediately nodded after a little groaning: "Okay, I believe in you." So what is the reason why you are here today?"
"Nothing serious. Xin immediately smiled and replied, "I want to know what is the difference between the magic of the wasteland clan and humans." It's as simple as that. ”
