Chapter 048: Treasure
It took a long time for Angel to recover from her shock. She stared intently at Xue Huan in the center of the battlefield, and at the same time gently touched Patrick next to her with her elbow, and stammered, "Just now... That... That orc just... Die like this... Done?"
"Well, I can't die anymore. Patrick replied in the affirmative with great composure.
"That's... Isn't that guy a trainee mage?
"Do you think that with the strength he has shown in the past few days, a trainee mage can do it?"
Hearing this, Angel quickly shook her head like a rattle.
Which apprentice mage can confront a legendary god? Which apprentice mage can kill an orc leader on the spot? Even as a junior mage, she asked herself if she couldn't do it...
"Then why did he hide his strength?" Although Angel was simple, she was not a fool, and after a little thought, she understood the meaning of the dwarf's words.
"This... I don't know. Patrick shook his head and looked at Xue Huan in the middle of the battlefield, he now couldn't see through this little guy more and more, "Maybe he has the same unspeakable things as the missing magician!"
Angel tilted her head and thought for a long time before she realized that the "missing magician" in Patrick's mouth was referring to Thoyle...
At this time, everyone reacted. Bursts of cheers erupted in an instant among the Lordaeron soldiers, and even Cassius, who had been frowning for the past few days, showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time.
On the other hand, the orc warriors grinned one by one, eager to tear apart these hateful enemies in front of them. But just as they were about to rush up, they were stopped by a figure...
"Lord Priest, why did you stop us, we want to avenge Lord Black Hand!" an orc warrior roared angrily at Bruno.
Looking at the murderous orc warriors in front of him, Bruno shook his head.
Although he was now very sad and longed to destroy these humans with the power of the elements, he was also very aware of the consequences of doing so, "Listen to me, orc warriors. If the opponent is an ordinary human mage, I won't stop you from taking revenge, but the opponent uses the power of evil energy, that kind of spell is not something we can compete with, and you have also seen what happened to the Black Hand, and now rushing forward, you can only die in vain!"
"So what are we going to do?" asked another strong orc warrior.
He wanted to shred the wizard kid, but at the same time, reason was telling him that if he did, he wouldn't end up much better than the Black Hand.
"Let's go back and meet up with Orgrim and Lord Gul'dan first. Listen to me, brave and fearless orc warriors. The enemy in front of us is only a small part of it, and greater difficulties await us. If you waste your life here, how can you accomplish a greater feat?"
After hearing Bruno's words, the orc warriors hesitated. Although they are eager to avenge the Black Hand, the brutal truth is there.
They're no match for the human wizard...
An orc warrior hesitated for a moment, then as if he had made up his mind, he asked Bruno, "But even if we plan to retreat now, how could that wizard let us go?"
"Olli, are you crazy?" the other orc beside him seemed to not understand what he was doing, and his tone was reproachful.
"And you're going to duel that terrible wizard?" said the orc named Olli to his companion, "The priest is right, we shouldn't have to waste our precious lives here. We have more important things to do, and that's where glory and bravery come in. ”
The orc who accused Olli gritted his teeth, but did not say anything more.
Bruno nodded at Olli in satisfaction. After all, in his opinion, the tribe is full of bloodlust and killing nowadays, and there are not many orc warriors who are so sensible.
Retracting his thoughts, Bruno replied, "You don't have to worry about that, I'm in charge of negotiating with that wizard, and you just need to be responsible for leading the warriors to retreat safely!"
"Good!"
Ollie nodded. Although he did not know how Bruno was going to negotiate with the other side, he still chose to believe it.
At this time, Xue Huan stood in the faint smoke of gunpowder, and his expression looked a little dazed.
In fact, he didn't want to do this, he just wanted to go home at first, but it seemed that there was no turning back. Ever since he got the Demon Heart, he's done things he couldn't have imagined in his previous life. In just a few days, dozens of lives were lost from his hands, and they died so tragically and tragically.
In this world, it seems that it has become a habit for everyone to kill and plunder for their own interests. Although he tried his best to be alone, he was still caught up in this merciless whirlpool. Even if he didn't want to fight for anything, in order to protect himself, he could only be forced to kill and eventually become a part of this world......
He really felt so tired......
"Your Excellency the Wizard!"
The hoarse voice pulled Xue Huan back to reality from his thoughts. He turned his head, and now the cricket orc priest was standing in the clearing not far from him, watching him.
"You... Is there something wrong?" asked Xue Huan. In his opinion, shouldn't they have fled in all directions at this time? How could they still have the leisure to talk to him?
Bruno was a little unsure of the character of the powerful wizard in front of him, so he could only say cautiously: "That's right, Your Excellency the Honorable Magician. I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the tribe. ”
"Negotiations, about what?" Xue Huan was a little confused.
"Of course... About your great power!" Bruno decided to test the wizard in front of him first.
Xue Huan looked at the orc priest in front of him with a cunning look in his eyes, and he said impatiently: "If you have something to say, don't do this!"
"Yes, yes!" Bruno was embarrassed, unbelievably unexpectedly that the other party would not eat him. He had no choice but to take out a staff more than one meter long from his back with a green crystal inlaid on the top, and said to Xue Huan: "This is a powerful staff, called 'Demon Gaze', which is forged by the most powerful forger among the orcs. It is said that the strength of the magician who uses this staff will be greatly improved. ”
Xue Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at the staff in Bruno's hand. The wooden staff was surrounded by sinuous and twisted mysterious lines, and the green eagle eye stone inlaid at the top shone with an eerie light, as if a pair of eyes were watching you. Demon gaze, sure enough, lives up to its name!
Xue Huan was a little moved, and asked tentatively, "What do you mean..."
"I'll give you this staff, but—" the orc priest turned around and threw out his own conditions, "but you have to promise not to exterminate the remaining orc warriors!"
After speaking, Bruno cautiously looked at Xue Huan's expression. The reason why he was so confident was because this "Demon Gaze", as one of the five major artifacts of the Blackstone Clan, had been coveted by other clans for a long time, and the rarity could be imagined, and he didn't believe that this powerful wizard in front of him would not be impressed. But he didn't dare to guarantee that the other party would buy it, so he secretly prepared for the battle that might come.
So that's how it was...
Xue Huan was a little amused in his heart, he didn't want to kill them all. Having said that, on the surface, it still can't be seen by the other party. Xue Huan hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "Well..."
Unexpectedly, Xue Huan's pretending appearance startled the orc priest, he wiped the sweat on his head, and hurriedly said: "There is also a blazing orb here, although it is not very useful, but I heard that it is worth a lot in your human beings." Immediately, Bruno pulled out a fist-sized orb of crimson light from his bosom.
Hey, that's interesting! I didn't think I pretended to hesitate for a moment, and I actually came up with one more good thing by mistake. After getting the sweetness, he deliberately lowered his face again and said, "That's all?"
The orc priest gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "No, if Your Excellency the Magician is still not satisfied, then even if we fight for our lives, we will never be captured!"
Seeing Bruno's resolute appearance, Xue Huan reluctantly believed his words. But then after thinking about it, he felt that something was not right, and he asked Bruno, "Aren't you afraid that after I get these treasures, I will break my promise and kill you?"
Hearing Xue Huan's words, Bruno breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this was done. The orc priest replied, "In our homeland, there is a mysterious sorcery called the 'Blood Oath'. Once two people have made a blood oath over some kind of oath, if one of them betrays the oath, they will be killed by the powerful Counter-Eater. Because this is a secret technique handed down by the ancient gods, even the body of a demigod cannot be spared. ”
"Oh, I see!" Xue Huan didn't expect this kind of magical spell.
"So... You agreed?"
"Well, I agree!"
For Xue Huan, this is just pushing the boat along the water, why not?
After Cassius, who was not far away, heard the conversation between Xue Huan and Bruno, he didn't care about his injuries, and yelled at Xue Huan in the array: "Your Excellency Magician, you must not do this! If these monsters are let go, they will continue to kill our people and trample on our homeland!"
Damn it!
Hearing the human general's voice, the cold sweat on Bruno's forehead was about to run. But he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Xue Huan, so he could only keep his head down and wait for Xue Huan's choice......
