28. Outlander
Before the groundhog could run far, it was directly picked up by Lu Cheng who grabbed the back of its neck.
"Captain, you're so skilled... Do you want to catch this often? ”
The kite was still wondering where to catch the groundhog, but when he came back to his senses, he was choked by the back of his fate.
"I don't catch it often, just practice my hands and feet quickly."
Lu Cheng said as he lifted the groundhog.
To be honest, this groundhog is a bit heavy, judging from its size, it is at least twice the size of the groundhog on the earth, and when it was caught by Lu Cheng, it kept swinging its little short legs to kick Lu Cheng.
"Let go of me! You don't know who you've offended, and you're disrespectful to the Gmansis Secret Order! ”
The groundhog struggled frantically under Lucheng's men, trying to break free from Lucheng's restraints, but its struggles had no effect at all, and its small short hand couldn't touch the skin of its neck.
"The Gmansis Secret Order? What kind of strange organization is this? ”
Lu Cheng looked at the two locals, Hubert and Elena, with a pleading gaze.
"You don't even know about the Gmansis Secret Order?"
The groundhog heard Lu Cheng's question, and tried his best to turn his head around.
Unfortunately, the marmot's body structure is still a little different from that of an owl, and all it can do is straighten its short limbs and try to swing away from the clutches of Lucheng.
"We haven't been here for a long time, and we're kind of outsiders." Lu Cheng said.
"This... I've heard my mother mention the name of this secret puja. Elena's answer gave the groundhog hope.
"Quick! Tell these people what the secret of Germansis would be. ”
The groundhog shouted at Elena in an anxious tone, as if Elena would roast and eat it if she said slowly.
"Mother said that the Gmansis Mystic Order seems to be one of the largest mage cities in the world, and it is also a neutral city independent of the countries, and the city itself is built on the core of a leyline crystal, so it can be said that it is a small country with only one city." Elena reminisced for a moment and 'popularized' the presence of Gmansis to Lucheng.
"That's right, that's right."
The groundhog nodded unconsciously as he listened to Elena's popular science, and the whole rat began to swell.
"That's all?" Lu Cheng's three-word testimonial in the next moment made it feel danger again.
"Hurry up and say something more!"
The groundhog waved his little short hand, anxiously asking Elena to teach some knowledge of the Gmansis Secret Ritual to the strangers of Lucheng.
"I don't know much more, my mother just told me about it." Elena was a little embarrassed.
That's how she replied.
Lu Cheng turned the groundhog towards him, and the groundhog had a very human expression on its face, such as its teeth chattering in fright.
"I'm the chief apprentice of the Gmansis Mystic Order, you can't do this to me."
In order to overcome his fear, the groundhog continued to wave his little fist to punch the approaching city of Lucheng.
"Lucheng better put it down, I've never seen a talking go-digger, maybe it's really some kind of curse?"
Elena couldn't bear to watch this groundhog being grabbed by Lu Cheng all the time.
"yes, let me down before I get angry... By the way, help me find a boat, I can't stay in this shabby country place any longer. ”
As soon as the marmot's words fell, the worried expression on Elena's face suddenly disappeared.
Because this is Scarre, Elena is the princess of Scarre, and Elena cares much more about her country than herself, and this groundhog denigrates her country to her face.
"Would you rather eat it grilled or boiled?"
Lu Cheng could see that Elena had begun to force the smile on her face.
"Roast?" Elena thought briefly for a second before she gradually caught up with Lu Cheng's thought circuit.
"My mother taught me the art of skinning wild beasts... I should be able to help. ”
Elena replied very seriously on this sentence, as if she was going to roll up her sleeves and peel off the fur of the groundhog in the next second.
The groundhog listened to the discussion between Lucheng and Elena, its fur standing on end.
"I... I am the most brilliant apprentice of magic in a hundred years of Gemansis, the one blessed by the Holy Spirit, the daughter of crystals, the giver of the Book of Primitives, the great prophetic reservist, you barbarians! Unexpectedly... You want to eat me! ”
It struggled frantically again, but it was a pity that no matter how fat the groundhog was, it couldn't break free from Lu Cheng's hands.
Lu Cheng quietly listened to these names shouted by this groundhog, just listening to these complicated names sounded like its origin was indeed not simple.
It remains to be seen why it was in the ruins of the city, or if it was in the form of a groundhog.
But that didn't stop Lu Cheng from taking it back to study.
"General Hubert, please take us to that place where we can rest."
Lu Cheng selectively ignored the marmot's wail before getting out of the pot, and directly asked General Hubert about the location of the temporary residence.
"Follow me."
General Hubert didn't bother with the talking groundhog, and led Lucheng directly to a miner's workshop on the edge of the harbor of Huiri City.
This foundry was built on the banks of the Green Leaf River, a world where humans have learned to smelt minerals with the power of a water wheel.
When Lucheng walked into the workshop under the leadership of General Hubert, it was already a dilapidated landscape.
The workshop building as a whole is fairly well preserved, but the contents have long been looted for a long time, so much so that Lu Cheng casually flips through a box as if it will show an 'empty' sign inside.
"This is my last warning to you, if you don't want to be used by me to turn into a beaver, take me out of here now!"
Ever since the groundhog brought it to the workshop from Lucheng, it hasn't stopped chattering and demonstrating.
Lu Cheng still has a high tolerance for this small and cute creature, but even if he tolerates it, he can't stand its never-ending taunts.
So as soon as the groundhog's words fell, Lu Cheng pulled out the dagger located in his leg.
"You... What do you want to do! "The dark brown fur on the marmot at this moment shows signs of whitishness.
