Chapter 263: Three Gnomes
The city of high rock.
The orc offensive was abruptly halted, and when the cautious Demps found out that it was wrong to chase him out, the valley was left with only a pile of dead orc corpses and an eerie altar.
Although the credit does not go to them, the fact that they have defeated the Orcs and the Sea Clan is that the joy of this victory pervades the city and everyone can share.
Hubert, the lord of the city, had his men fill the square with wine and food to celebrate with everyone, even beggars to join in the feast.
However, Hart, the Iron Blood, stared coldly at 'Al' who was making potions in the lab, and he didn't have a good face for a cat.
Even this 'Al' doesn't miss a flaw, he reads books, stays in the laboratory and does experiments, and he is not even moved by his favorite grilled fish in front of him, and the most annoying mouse can't scare him.
But if you think that you can fool the Iron Blood Commander in this way, you would underestimate him.
This highness ran away again, and it took two months to run. If it weren't for His Highness's demon envoy still playing pretend games leisurely, indicating that His Highness was fine, he would have been angry a long time ago.
Once something goes wrong with the master, the demon will empathize. Once the master dies, the demon will die, and there will be no escape.
As soon as Al stepped out of Boone's shadow, furious magic and surging shadows swept across the lab.
Long-distance shadow teleportation is extremely mana-intensive, and Al still casts it continuously in order to rush back.
As soon as he returned to the lab, he activated Duret and Audreyhe, placing his withered yellow fingers on the test bench.
"Durrey, interrupt all missions, analyze the data of this thing. ”
"Audreyhe, build defenses and forbid anyone to enter the lab. ”
Audreyh was not supplied with a pool of mage tower energy, and the defense he built was extremely limited, and Al took out the Crystal Tree Heart.
"Heroic Spirit stand-in to assist in defense. ”
After arranging all this, Al came out of the laboratory with Boone, who had been playing Al for two months and was extremely bored.
Without looking, Hart knew that the highness in front of him was real, and bowed and saluted.
"How have these two months been. ”
Seeing that Al directly admitted that he had gone out, Hart was stuck in his mouth with an exhortation, and he had nothing to say, so he streamlined the situation in the past two months.
"The orc army has retreated to the grasslands, and only a few hundred suicide orc corpses and a mysterious altar have been found in the valley. High Rock City is organizing a manual clearing of the roads that connect to the coastline. Reinforcements arrived a month ago and are participating in the restoration of the city of High Rock. ”
Al, who was eating, looked up and repeated Hart's words suspiciously.
"Reinforcements? Reinforcements came when the battle was over?"
"It's from the Grimm family. ”
The Green family, one of the legendary four families.
The four major families are flourishing, and they have been inherited for thousands of years, and there are naturally geniuses and mediocre talents. At this time, the war is raging, and it is a good opportunity to compete for military merit and expand the power, and it is not an accident to come down to gild and grab merit.
What's more, people really brought reinforcements to help build defenses after the war.
Not only did someone from the Green family come to grab the credit, but the nobles who had fled from the city of High Rock also hurriedly came back to arrange for their heirs.
Al hummed and didn't comment, and he didn't have the desire to say hello. He is not a person like Brut who blended into the upper social circle early, and no one in his family can recognize everything, let alone someone outside.
"Tomorrow I will leave two teams of iron-blooded guards to guard my lab, and the other two teams will go to the valley with me, and tell Joshua to stay and stay with Lawson. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
Hart retreated, Ali came over with a bunch of invitations and prayers, and Al turned into an iron giant to drive away the Sea Clan. The first thing the nobles of High Rock City came back was to invite Al to get acquainted with such a powerful mage.
Without waiting for Ali to speak, he waved his hand casually, and Ali also respectfully retired, the young master's favorite thing is to read, experiment, and taste food.
Ali knew that his young master didn't like to attend those parties, and it was just the duty of a housekeeper to take it up. And it takes Al to speak before he can handle these prayers.
The invitation of the nobles, not to mention the gold dust and precious stones, even the pure gold ones are available, and they are quite weighty to hold in the hand. People with status in the imperial capital will not be so flamboyant and stupid, but it is very popular in the countryside.
The next day, Al led the people out of the city gate, and when he passed through, Al couldn't help but look twice.
It was dwarves and gnomes at work.
It's still a rare mountain dwarf, and it seems that he is preparing to build a steel forged city gate.
The Glorious Empire was founded on the church and unified in faith, which was tantamount to a disaster for the aliens who left their homeland and wandered the continent.
Dwarves naturally only believe in the gods of the dwarves, and the elves will never give up the favor of the Creator.
A large number of alien races living in the human world were scattered to other countries, with the Eagle Empire, one of the three major empires, being the most.
Al is the most curious about the dwarf, even if he has the knowledge of the mechanical secret realm, he still doesn't understand the third creation book that he spent a lot of money to buy. After the collapse of this racial state, they were scattered all over the continent, and their shadows were everywhere, but they were also easily invisible.
I didn't expect to see three here.
"Your Highness Albenstock, please wait. ”
Not long after Al left the city gate, a group of cavalry came after him, led by a fat young man, with a kind and anxious face.
Abt wanted to visit Al as soon as he arrived, but he was told that it was inconvenient for him to meet the guests, and at this time his men reported that he was out of the city, and hurriedly got down from the little girl who had just arrived, and chased him all the way out.
Al stopped, staring at him coldly.
Abt ignored Al's cold face and introduced himself cordially.
"I am Abt of the Green family, Your Highness, Oret and Green have been friends for generations, and I hope I can also inherit the friendship between the family and you. ”
How can the four major families of the Eagle Empire have any friendship at all, and for thousands of years, pulling each other's backs, conspiracies, and framing abound, wishing that each other's excellent heirs would die in the ditch.
It is also impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to like to befriend the four major families representing half of the Eagle Empire.
However, compared to his two families, Aurett and Green do have more friendship. It's the kind of allies who can be wooed by paying some benefits when they vote, rather than fighting with them like the Wilson family now.
For the sake of the three gnomes, Al nodded, turned and left.
Abt hurriedly followed, half a body apart from Al side by side, as a sign of respect.
As soon as Abt heard the tone, he knew that he was a non-core child with a bit of background, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to be sent to this kind of high rock city to gild. Mountain dwarves and gnomes were also arranged to repair defensive buildings, and they robbed this kind of small and never small credit.
The chubby Abt was talking all the way, he was extremely sociable, even if Al didn't say a word, he could talk awkwardly all the way without being abrupt.
