Chapter 31: The Undead Again
You can't put all your hopes on someone else, and even if you do learn from the witch, he will definitely have to pay the price.
Only an idiot would believe that there really is a free lunch in the world!
Xin is not an idiot, so he believes more in mutually beneficial cooperation, or deals!
But all of these must have a premise, that is, they must have the basic qualifications for cooperation or trading.
Now, does he have the qualifications at this moment?
I don't know yet.
But you can't go wrong with accumulating and studying and gaining enough experience.
Two days later, early in the morning.
The weather in the wilderness is almost always sunny, and today is certainly no exception.
Dressed in a white cloth robe and using a three-pointed knife as a cane, together with Loken, who was calmly carrying a disc-shaped wrap on his back, he once again stepped into the oasis where he had fought.
Before meeting the witch, he was really curious about what the Warbringer wanted him to see.
"Hey, hey, hey. In the grass hut by the pond, the war messenger looked at Xin with a smile, and took out a silver-white bird-shaped statue from under the table: "Lucky bird, do you want it?"
"What are you doing?" Feeling the faint familiar fluctuations emanating from the statue, Xin immediately pretended to be stupid and frowned, "A work of art?"
"Pretending to be stupid?" the Warbringer immediately grinned, "It's the same function as your card, and luckily it can overlap!"
From the moment he first arrived in the Gollum Kingdom, the big-eared monster had been very concerned about him. Now that he has experienced two wars and three operations, he still has some inventory treasures in his hands, and this guy has already found out the door.
Of course, a human is in the middle of a group of wasteland people, and he is not prepared to hide any secrets for the time being. Being trusted and surviving is already the best ending now, and he doesn't want to kill himself.
"What do I need to give?" is a simple and straightforward deal, more direct than any nonsense.
After all, the other party has already shown his hole cards as soon as he comes up, and no matter how hypocritical he is, he will become more and more passive: "It won't be given to me for nothing, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey. The warbringer grinned again: "From here further west there are a dozen skeletons, who bury themselves in the sand during the day and come to the oasis every night to sneak attack. ”
"How many big-eared monsters died?" Xin immediately grasped the point of this sentence, and once Ken had clearly told him that the magic that skeleton people instinctively came with was to transform corpses into their own kind.
Since he will make a deal to himself, the warbringer may not be able to bear it.
Then from the previous time in the village, the behavior that aroused his curiosity can be guessed, he knew that there were skeleton people in the west at that time.
However, another question also flashed from his mind in an instant, and Xin couldn't help frowning and continued to ask: "If the adults lead the clan to rush forward, I feel that I have a great chance of victory. Why are you looking for me?"
Both he and this warbringer can use magic to attack from a distance. And since the other party already knew about the skeleton man, why did he have to wait for him to come over for so many days?
The protagonist's aura?
It's a real world, and even big-eared monsters know greed, and compared to other intelligent creatures, their greed is even more undisguised!
The war envoy's face stiffened slightly, and then he nodded with a wry smile and replied, "The last time I led people to fight was two years ago, and I wanted to take them to kill skeletons these days. However, you have led the last few battles, and you have won all of them. ”
"So. Speaking of this, the gray-green face of the war messenger turned slightly green: "They all think that I lead the team to fight, and I am more reliable than you as a human being!"
In battles with other life races, most of them can surrender when they can't win. But the other party is a group of undead creatures, and if you lose, you will have to die!
Big-eared monsters do have low IQs, but that doesn't mean they don't have any brains.
Hearing the reasonable explanation of the war messenger, the corners of Xin's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
It is a matter of course to ask for a price to pay back. As a human whose memories were completely shattered to slag, but who still retained his full experience, he certainly couldn't let go of this good opportunity to bargain.
"Okay!" Xin immediately smiled and nodded, and gently stroked the lucky bird statue with one hand: "But I have two conditions. ”
The warbringer's body trembled visibly, and he forced a slightly hideous smile: "That, General, you can't ask for something I don't have." ”
"Of course not. Xin smiled again and shook his head: "Let me ask you a question first, do you believe in my character?"
"Huh?
After resting all day, the temperature slowly dropped as night fell.
At this time, Xin took Lorcan, together with the fifty big-eared monsters assigned to them by the War Emissary, gathered on the west side of the oasis and waited patiently.
Now that they were sure that the skeletons would come at night, they didn't bother to take the initiative to look for them. After all, those guys don't know what exhaustion is, and conserving as much physical strength as possible is the key to fighting the undead.
"Now!" Xin took out the statue of the lucky bird from his bosom and handed it to Lorcan as he commanded, "Take this with you and remember to follow the plan." ”
Locken's face was full of surprise and instinctively took the statue, and he grinned and exclaimed, "General, where did you get this?"
"Hey, hey, hey. Xin immediately smiled and replied: "Lord Warbringer, you are actually much more generous than you imagined! Go ahead, remember to notify me immediately if you find those bone frames!"
"Well, okay, got it. Lorcan carefully took the lucky bird into his arms, patted his bulging chest, and walked away briskly south with half of the big-eared monster.
Xin Ze immediately pointed to the two big-eared monsters beside him and ordered: "You, you, find a random person to patrol the outer circle, and if you find a skeleton man, don't make a move, come back and report to me immediately!"
The two big-eared monsters were stunned when they heard this, and they all raised their hands and pointed at Xin and replied, "I want the general to follow." ”
These two guys say they're smart or not, but they're not stupid at all when they say they're stupid. Knowing that the big-eared monsters around him are looking for the same person, but with this general by his side, the safety factor has increased countless times at once.
However, Xin suddenly took a deep breath and roared, "Stupid! Fool! I'm patrolling with you, who the fuck is commanding the troops? Ahhhhhh
The two big-eared monsters fled in a hurry, and they didn't forget to forcibly pull away a helper before leaving.
The rest of the big-eared monsters were all excited, and when Xin's gaze swept over them, he immediately turned his head and pretended not to know anything.
But how could this kind of behavior of wanting to cover up be concealed from Xin?
However, at this time, he was approaching the critical moment of battle, and he really didn't want to waste too much saliva.
As the minutes ticked by, neither Loken nor the Big-Eared Monster came with any news. This made Xin couldn't help but wonder a little: Could it be that those skeleton people are resting today?
