104, the legend of the north
Polson picked up Zheng Yi's wine glass and placed it heavily on the far right: "This is us, Good Luck Castle." Then he placed his cup on his left-hand side, almost touching his wife's plate: "This is the dwarven lava keep." He cut off another large piece of meat and placed it between the two "forts."
"This is Fort Highland, located on the hill between Fort Good Luck and Fort Lava. It was a great place, the slope was so steep that the dwarves had built this fortress on top of the hill. I went to my dad once when I was a kid, and I was half tired when I climbed up, and when I got in, you would see the dwarves digging five floors down! Can you imagine? Enu testified that if it was piled with bows and arrows and food, a hundred soldiers would be able to hold off the attack of 10,000 orcs. ”
Polson lamented:
"The north was safe then. When the Orcs besiege Fort Good Luck, the dwarves of Fort Highland will help us attack the Orc camp and force them to retreat. Of course, the dwarves are charged, and I remember that an incendiary bomb from a trebuchet was worth fifty kilograms of stainless steel, which was expensive, but worth it. ”
"Such a fortress should have walls, fences, and even walled cities in front of it." The new knight Shi Dong said: "How did the orcs build the Highland Fort?" ”
Polson squinted at Stone and said, "It wasn't the orcs who laid it down. If Fort Highland had been in the hands of the orcs, the dwarves would have taken it back long ago. The castle is occupied by an evil god. ”
"Evil gods?" Zheng Yi said strangely: "There are still evil gods in this world? ”
Polson smiled: "You southerners always refuse to accept the facts. You're not going to deny the end of the Twin Trees, are you? ”
The last time Zheng Yi was in the Dark Forest, he heard Yi Erwen say that it had been more than 16,000 years since the end of the Twin Tree Era.
"Yes," Irwen poked her head out, "Ugoliant." The legendary evil god who came from the black fog beyond Alda. With the help of Mirkor, it infiltrated Valinor, drained the sap of the sacred tree, and drained Lady Valda's well...... This is the mark of the end of the Twin Tree Period. ”
Zheng Yi only heard the well of "Lady Valda...... He asked, "Is it the Well of the Stars?" ”
"Yes." Erwen didn't understand why Mya Ankolimon would ask this question.
"Yes, that evil god is the heir of Ugoliant, maybe the second or the third." "It is said to be a giant spider like Ugoliante, but no one has ever seen it. Truly, none of those who came near Fort Highland could come back. Whether it's human, dwarf, or orc...... This includes all other animals, as long as they get close to the Highland Fort, they will be dragged in by an invisible force and then devoured. ”
"Since no one has ever gone in, how do you know that everyone dragged in has been eaten?" Bofu didn't know when he came out, leaned on the armrest of the lord's chair, and asked seriously.
Baron Polson was startled and almost threw wine in his face. After all, he calmed down, and said angrily: "If you don't eat it, will you still keep laying eggs?" Ugolian is a monster that eats everything, and it even pesters Mirkor, trying to eat it. Mirko summoned a large number of firedemons to survive and drive them away. ”
"The Northland story is so colorful." Zheng Yi continued to focus on the meat.
"Maybe it's because we can't do anything for six months of the year, so we can only tell stories at home." The baroness took the wine and spoke.
"Six months?" Stone was puzzled.
"Every year from October to early April of the following year, the ice and snow block the road, and the orcs besiege it, and there is no way to leave the Good Luck Castle at all." "After the fall of Fort Highland, every year has been like this, and this year will probably be a little earlier. The scouts say that the orcs slaughtered the two northernmost villages. This is a signal that they are about to go south. ”
"Beyond the Great Wall, there are villages?" Stone will be skeptical.
Poulsson felt that this topic might be a little sensitive, and glanced at the crown on Stone's armor, but still said:
"There are always people who think that orcs are better than some noble lords. They escaped from the Great Wall and lived in the orcs' territory for grazing, mining and even farming, and as long as they could hand over enough meat, they could survive on their own. Of course, when the orc army moves south, they will have to find a place to hide. If you dodge, you can survive for another year, and if you can't, you will be killed and used as food. ”
- Ijuiluvida's version of the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger...... The nobles are fiercer than the orcs......
Zheng Yi remembered that Irwen had told him that both humans and elves were created by Iru Iluvida herself, and that the elves were the eldest sons and the humans were the second sons. However, look at the beauty of the prosperous age, infinite life, immune diseases, magic and martial arts, long-range attack and close killing, and literary and artistic specialties...... of the elves, and then look at the humans.
This second son is probably pinched from the leftovers.
"Of course, it was mainly because they committed a crime and ran out to escape the laws of the kingdom." The Baroness kicked the Baron hard and said in a self-righteous voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? In front of a Crown Knight, he'll snitch! ”
Stone blushed and pretended to fight the pork on his plate.
"My father's attitude towards wildlings is too gentle, and when I become a lord, I will not allow wildlings to come to the castle to trade." The girl next to Irwen said. She looked fifteen or sixteen years old, had a slightly upturned nose, and liked to tilt her chin when she spoke.
Irwen glared at her.
"You don't have to think about it so much until I die." Polson said unhappily.
"Or father, you can give me the castle, and I will support all your policies." The youngest daughter came up in the back and said, "Marry my sister to the royal capital, and there will be no trouble." ”
"You damn wildling!"
The eldest daughter did not care about the disadvantage of such swearing to her parents, and raised her fork and stabbed her sister.
My sister's martial arts are not weak at all, she picks up the cup with one hand to open her sister's fork, and smashes the plate at her sister's nose with the other hand.
"Enough! And the guests are there! Polson exclaimed.
However, the two girls did not stop, slammed into their chairs and began to attack and defend in style. The soldiers and knights in the audience also drank to the critical point, cheering loudly for the lord's daughter, and some people opened a gamble to see who would win tonight.
Irwen fled the duel between the two little girls because she saw someone handing them half a sword.
This kind of long sword, which is between a one-handed sword and a two-handed big sword, dances vigorously in the hands of two teenage girls.
Stone watched this scene dumbfounded.
Carmon struggled not to laugh: "It reminds me of the scene in the Mercenary Tavern. ”
Erwen retreated to Zheng Yi's side, and found that Baron Polson was just cursing the two daughters, and had no intention of stopping him, so he couldn't help but say:
"It's the craziest thing I've ever seen."
The Baroness came to accompany the elven princess and complained:
"The two of them are always like this, and I said I shouldn't give them hard drinks."
Erwen didn't know how to answer.
Stone and Carmon watched intently.
Zheng Yi withdrew: "Good night everyone, I'm going to sleep." ”
