Chapter 45: Behind Bars

Gollum was very, very reluctant in her heart. I couldn't help gritting my teeth and taking a deep breath, looking deeply at Xin and confirming again: "Master Xin, do you really want to leave?"

"Uh-hee-hehe-hee. Xin Pi grinned without smiling, and subconsciously scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, I'm going to Buraka, so, that, hahaha!"

There are not many things that can make Xin blush, but now he also deeply feels that he secretly wants to leave, and he even thinks about abducting a few big-eared monsters by the way, which is indeed a bit too inauthentic!

King Gollum hesitated for a long time before he sighed and replied, "This king can let you go." ”

"What?" Xin suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, and Gollum nodded immediately when he saw this: "But!"

I knew it!

Xin couldn't help but sigh secretly, there is really no free lunch in the world.

No matter how harsh Gollum's conditions were, he had to agree to come down in order to get out of here and continue south.

Although the conditions were indeed harsh enough to make him vomit blood, he finally did not put forward any strings attached.

Acceptable!

Since he was going to continue south, he knew it even without being reminded by the witch. There are certainly many unpredictable dangers ahead.

The retinue of protectors and directions must be brought with them, but the men of King Gollum who want to take away the goose and pluck the feathers must pay at least ten times the price.

One hundred and fifty gold coins for the green and strong eared monsters.

The price of the young and strong half-orcs is even more terrifying, requiring a full five hundred gold coins! This is fifteen times the price, and it is even more greedy and shameless than Zhou Peel.

And because he made the battle axe for Lorcan, he made the half-orc the youngest axe king recognized by the entire kingdom except for Gollum.

In other words, Lorcan is not in the range of the soldiers, and he can't leave here with him!

In the end, even if Xin was extremely aggrieved, he could only spend all his private money. A total of 1,480 gold coins, barely recruiting ten big-eared monsters.

Walking out of the village for about a kilometer, Xin glanced back at the Gollum Kingdom again, and gritted his teeth and cursed secretly: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu's current trouble, I!

After a heavy sigh, Xin immediately took ten "little golden men" to the south quickly. Fortunately, he knew about Gollum's greed before, so he had already made a follow-up plan.

He sighed deeply again and thought to himself: Forget it, there is nowhere to spend this money anyway, so it should be prepared for Loken!

Lorcan, who hurried to the oasis, didn't have time to catch his breath when he got the news of another sneak attack by the Centaurs.

Immediately brought all the equipment and led the ten orcs, and immediately followed the big-eared monster towards the battlefield.

Didn't these guys just come here last month?

I only came once in three months before, but what happened this time?

I don't know why, but the battle still has to be fought. It's just that when he saw those Centaurs running around with hundreds of big-eared monsters like fools, especially the strange spear in their hands, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

New weapons?

What do these guys do with them? Sandbags, scarecrows?

Lorcan suddenly lost his breath, took a deep breath of hot dry air, and yelled, "Follow me!

As soon as the big-eared monsters saw Lorcan coming, they instinctively ran to him. This is the lesson learned from many battles in the past: staying with ranged units is the best way to deal with a highly agile melee enemy.

When the ten centaurs saw the orcs appear, especially the well-equipped half-orc in the middle, they immediately thought of the instructions of the leader of the spirit hoof.

Qi Qi stopped and stood in the distance, briefly discussed for a moment and did not attack again, but hooked the corpse of the big-eared monster on the ground with his spear, glanced at Lorcan again and turned his head away.

Everyone was puzzled, especially the big-eared monsters, who cheered, thinking that Lorcan had scared the centaurs away. Only the warbringer, who was watching all this from afar, rolled his eyes and grinned, turned around and disappeared into the shade of the tree.

Lorcan scared the centaurs away, and the news spread throughout the oasis in just half a day. Although he was still a little inexplicable in his heart, looking at the eyes of everyone looking at him, Lorcan couldn't help but straighten his chest.

For the next week, the Centaurs did not reappear. Lorcan then went to the Warbringer to discuss bringing the orcs back.

It's just that when he entered the grass house of the war messenger and saw the dusty Gollum sitting next to him, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he instinctively hid the dwarf king shield behind him, but he heard Gollum ask coldly: "Lorcan-Haag, my dearest nephew! Although this king has twenty sons and eleven daughters, he still raises you as his own child." But you!"

Speaking of this, Gollum suddenly snorted coldly: "You, you dare to secretly hide a treasure shield!"

"King!" Lorcan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained anxiously, "This is a gift from the Master Mage, he, he said. ”

"Shut up, Lorcan!" Gollum suddenly got up and asked, "That damn mage, kidnapped ten of my big-eared monster soldiers. He, he ran away a week ago!"

"What!" Lorcan's face was full of disbelief when he heard this: "Master Mage, he, he, can't be! ”

"Loken!" the warbringer grinned at this time, and continued: "Leave the treasure in the king's care, and then go back to the capital with you, maybe only the facts in front of you will make you completely dead!"

King Gollum is more than just a king to Lorcan. This is the benefactor who picked him up and brought him back to the kingdom to this day.

Returning to the capital in a daze, Gollum immediately summoned a large number of big-eared monsters to the palace, looked at Lorcan with regret and sighed, before asking the hundreds of people in front of him in a loud voice: "I, King Gollum, now ask you, has the mage left?"

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

The cacophony of responses was short and clear, and Lorcan's heart twitched countless times.

Gollum then asked, "Where did Master Mage go?"

"South!"

"Rift. ”

"Further south. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Gollum's mouth curled slightly, and he immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to leave, and then turned around and pressed Lorcan's shoulder with a serious face: "Nephew, did you hear that? That damn mage abandoned us, and he left!

"I, I, the king, me. Lorcan gasped and was a little overwhelmed, and Gollum interrupted with a heavy sigh again, "Go to the dungeon yourself, I'll see you later." ”

"Bang. "In the cold, damp semi-underground cell, Lorcan sat alone in the innermost darkness.

The big-eared monster who had brought him closed the door from the outside, and after a long hesitation, locked the chain.
