Chapter 24: If you don't teach, you can't do it
"General, you. He was only halfway through his words and was immediately interrupted by Xin: "I think that as an excellent warrior, in addition to needing a good weapon to fight the enemy, it is better to have a piece of armor!"
"But. Lorcan wanted to say something more, but Ke Xin shook his head again, chanted a spell to turn the weapon into a metal shield, and smiled at Lorcan to interrupt again: "I have magic, understand?"
Seeing that Luo Ken was about to open his mouth again, Xin immediately patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Quan should make a friend." Also, like you said, don't let the Gollum King see it!"
Lorcan nodded heavily with excitement on his face: "Yes, General." ”
When I went, I took a team of 100 people with me, and I thought it would be a dangerous and bitter battle. But when nearly a thousand big-eared monsters returned to the village, all the inhabitants were shaken.
Among them, the one who was most shocked was undoubtedly the Gollum King.
Standing in front of the palace with trembling legs slightly, looking at Xin and Luo Ken who were gradually approaching, two drops of cold sweat oozed from their sideburns and forehead unconsciously.
If Xin wants to seize power at this time, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to resist.
But Xin, who is a human being, really has no interest in becoming the king of big-eared monsters and half-orcs.
When he came to the side, he directly gave way, smiled and pointed to the big-eared monster who was carrying the box behind him, and introduced: "King, this is the gold coin you wanted, a full two thousand three hundred." ”
"Huh?" Gollum couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this, and forced her panic to smile awkwardly: "Okay, the mighty general has done a good job! Yes, there is a reward!"
After speaking, he immediately ran to the side of the box, took out ten gold coins and handed them to Xin: "This is your reward." Hahaha!"
Looking at the thin ten gold coins in his hand, Xin could only smile stiffly and thank: "The king's generosity is like a long drought that nourishes everyone's hearts!"
"That, that, Master Xin. Gollum's face turned green when he heard this, and he scratched his head with a smile: "Come in with me first, if you want to talk about something alone." ”
No matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, Xin put away the gold coin and smiled slightly, turned around and followed Gollum into the palace.
After taking his seat, Gollum immediately sighed and asked, "The country's population has suddenly grown in large numbers, and I'm afraid we will run out of food." ”
He had just returned with four times the number of big-eared monsters on the expedition, and King Gollum was furious. Originally, I thought that I could consume some big-eared monsters, but in the end, not only did it not decrease, but the overall number of people suddenly doubled.
But he already knew Xin's strength, and he didn't dare to use the majesty of the king to oppress him. But if the problem is not effectively solved, I am afraid that the country will only collapse in a moment.
Xin just smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, since you dare to bring so many people here, of course you have thought of a solution to the problem in advance." ”
"Oh?" Gollum's eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of light, and he leaned over slightly and asked excitedly, "Say it!"
"Diversion!" Swinging the three-pointed, two-edged knife horizontally on his lap, "Send our War Messenger and lead some of the men to garrison the Oasis!" ”
"Send a war messenger to garrison?" Gollum couldn't help frowning, "But once you encounter danger?"
"The king doesn't have to worry. Xin immediately smiled and nodded: "The two places are not far away, and I send people to communicate back and forth every one or two hours, and this problem is easily solved." ”
"That's right!" Gollum's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of this question?" The second way?"
"I want to borrow soldiers. Ken's last moment flashed in his mind, and Xin couldn't help but talk and continued: "A friend once died in the north, and now I want to borrow some soldiers to avenge him!"
"This?" Gollum immediately hesitated when he heard that he was going to borrow his troops. Xin, who guessed that there would be such a result, immediately explained with a smile: "Don't worry, the king doesn't care, it doesn't matter if you are old, weak, sick or disabled, as long as you can use weapons." ”
Gollum couldn't help but fall into deep thought when she heard this, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "How much do you want?"
Seeing this, Xin immediately smiled and asked: "At least fifty, the more the merrier!"
"Good. Gollum instantly got up and nodded heavily: "Mighty General, please give this king three days, at least a hundred big-eared monsters can be prepared for you." ”
"That's right!" Xin also got up and smiled slightly: "In the past three days, I will find the War Messenger to learn the magic you promised me." ”
While walking out of the palace, Xin involuntarily pursed his lips. He felt unusually relieved when he remembered the stiffness and bitterness on King Gollum's face when he heard that he was going to learn magic.
It's my business whether I learn or not, you promised to teach me a magic, and if you break your promise, that's your business!
Carrying an alloy stick and whistling, he staggered and walked towards the west side of the village in the midst of the sudden increase in the crowd of countless big-eared monsters.
The wasteland tribe didn't need much politeness, so Xin directly pushed open the door and beckoned: "Lord Warbringer, little brother is here to learn magic!"
"Jingle bell!" There was a random sound behind the curtains, and two female big-eared monsters rushed out wrapped in rags, and left in a panic with their heads lowered.
Seeing this, Xin's face couldn't help but stiffen, looking at the cyan curtain that was still shaking slightly, and showed a strange smile: "My lord, is it a little bad time to come here?"
"Ahem, ahem!" came the embarrassed cough of the war messenger from behind the curtain: "That, it's okay, it's okay, the general waits, I'll come out immediately." ”
At the low table, the two sat on the left and right. Xin's face was always smiling and full of playfulness, while the face of the war messenger was always with a touch of green.
"Your Excellency. Looking at the extremely embarrassed big-eared monster in front of him, Xin finally put away his smile and stepped into the main topic: "I really delayed your business just now, and I'm really sorry for it." How about we make a long story short?"
"Huh? Okay. The war messenger suddenly smiled, and hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic: "What is the matter with the general, please say." ”
Xin immediately told the warbringer about what King Gollum had promised him.
"Magic?" The War Messenger's eyes widened suddenly, and then he looked at Xin with a strange expression and asked, "General, you, do you still lack magic?"
"There is no shortage!"
At this time, even if he died of thirst and starvation, he couldn't tell the truth in order to keep his identity as a mage. I could only shake my head and smile and ask: "However, whether I need it or not is my business, whether you fulfill the king's promise or not, whether you carry out the king's orders, this is your business!"
A simple magic transaction problem was instantly raised by Xin to the level of the relationship between monarchs and ministers.
The corners of the war envoy's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately nodded with a smile and replied: "Since it is the king's order, I will definitely carry it out without hesitation." But. ”
