Chapter 194: The Threshold
"Your Excellency, I heard that you are looking for me? Is there something going on?", Lin Ze came to the legendary mage's small garden again.
"You take a look first", Hao Shalle solemnly handed over a parchment roll.
The content is very short, Lin Ze read it in a few glances, this is a loss report, including the losses of farms and merchants.
"We could have avoided this", Hao Shalle patted the table angrily, "If it hadn't happened so suddenly, we could have notified these farms around the city and the caravans, and even used a better way to eliminate the Brake Fall, but the unexpected explosion made all this mess, we couldn't have fought a street battle with the Brake Fall in the city first, no mage could stand such a loss, so we could only force them out of the city, but in this way, This is what happened in front of us, and those who died were innocent ordinary civilians! ”
Lin Ze lowered his head and was silent for a moment, "Is there any countermeasure now?" ”
"Countermeasure? This is the countermeasure", Hao Xiale handed over a delicate rune disk, "This is the rune disk that controls the gargoyle army, I will give you 500 gargoyles, you go and deal with those who have fallen down." ”
"Can 500 ants bite an elephant?" Lin Ze asked unceremoniously.
"Of course not, what do you mean?"
"There are legends over there, 500 gargoyles are at most for him to spend more time, yes, he is a legendary warrior, and he can't stay in the air for too long, so there may be a few of these gargoyles left in the end."
"Isn't there a legendary female elf in your manor! We all sensed it when she advanced that day. ”
"You also know that she is only advanced, the archer doesn't even have a decent bow, how much do you think such a legend can play a big role?"
"That's not what I'm concerned about."
"Oh, this matter is also not something I want to care about", Lin Ze also shook his shoulders indifferently.
"We all know what that damn explosion was all about, and it's your responsibility!" Hauschale slammed the table and roared.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what Your Excellency is talking about, isn't the explosion an experimental accident", Lin Ze spread his hands.
"You~" Hao Xiale breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I suddenly remembered that there is indeed a bow used by a legendary powerhouse in my treasure trove, this is something I found when I and my companions explored the ancient city of Nord, I can lend it to your friends, remember to borrow it!" Now you don't have a problem~"
"There are a lot of people who have fallen down, I remember that there seems to have been relevant statistics, the total number is about 5,000 to 8,000, divided into four teams, 500 gargoyles are not enough."
"Damn, 500 is not enough, gargoyles can fly well, how can you calculate it with a simple number", Hao Xiale looked at Lin Ze with disdain.
"They can fly and fart, can they still throw their own parts out to hit the brake people on the ground? Joke~" Lin Ze directly despised it and went back.
"You ~ 800, give you 800, I need you to solve this trouble within half a month, according to the calculation of our scouts, most of the time the people will be able to converge together, this is still an optimistic estimate, they will rob and collect materials along the way to survive the winter", Hao Xiale said directly, not planning to wait for Lin Ze to bargain.
"Yes, okay!" Lin Ze picked up the rune disc on the table, got up and left......
Watching Lin Ze leave, Hao Xiale suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, aha~ It's still very easy, now I have time to study the reduction rune......
……
"Woo woo ~ this woman is so reluctant to let you go, it's not easy to have that little bit, originally~ originally said that when you have saved enough, you will go to the magic energy snack house in the third ring to eat all kinds of hearts and livers, woo, but, but now ......" A certain girl was heartbroken, and pitifully took out a money bag from the bedside table and counted it over and over again.
"Okay, hurry up~" Leia came outside the room again.
"Wait a little longer~ this woman must say goodbye~~~~"
Waiting? Leia was instantly furious, and her sister became violent and twisted her face with her hands!
"Ahh I was wrong, I didn't say goodbye, it hurt~~ I don't say goodbye~~~ Hurry up~ Let go, it hurts, I was really wrong......"
"Humph!" Leia snatched the girl's little money bag and glared at Rihy before hurrying downstairs.
The money really can't help but be spent, Lin Ze looked at the account book helplessly, the money from the Nord people to sell the Black Eagle Potion didn't stay much, as soon as it changed hands, it turned into winter materials and sent them to the snake girls, and those exchanged materials could not be turned into money immediately, it was really troublesome, and the sale of magic materials was the most loss.
Leia threw the girl's small money bag into the wooden box, and then leisurely picked up the teacup, "Is this necessary this time, we have gathered all the money we can use." ”
Lin Ze looked at Leia seriously, "It's necessary, this opportunity is rare, we must seize it, otherwise it will be a big trouble in the future, maybe it will be entangled all the time, people must have near-term worries~"
"Oh?" Leia was stunned.
"This is an old saying from my hometown, with profound meaning", Lin Ze sighed, full of nostalgia and emotion, "We still have a lot of more important and meaningful things than this, and we don't have time to consume them for a long time." ”
Leia nodded silently.
"This is mine!" Maggie, the little snake girl, also happily threw a small money bag into the box, "For Aunt Dali, and those dead sisters!" The little snake girl waved a few small fists.
A few snake girls in the back also lined up to put the money bags in the boxes......
……
"Oh no~ That's Uncle Hanli, he always bragged to us about how he used a big hammer to knock out the big teeth of the crazy wild dog, oh my God, they hung him on the sign", in a bush not far from the burning village, two hunters with longbows on their backs lay on the ground, "That's Aunt Xihan, I like the little pancakes she baked the most, she was cut into three pieces, oh no! These brutes, that's Sonita, damn it, these wicked lionheads, she's only 7 years old, damn it, I'm going to kill them! ”
"No, you're crazy! Come back, we were 2 people! His companion grabbed him from behind the neck.
"In mind, I'm not a coward, I'm going to fight with them, you can leave by yourself if you want to leave."
"No, we're just going up to die now, there are too many of them, this kind of death is meaningless, we have to warn the others, these damn Brakes have attacked our village, do you want to see more people attacked by them when they are unprepared!" Yili said calmly.
"You~ You're right, we must warn the others that the brigade of Brake Fall people is attacking the village."
"That's right, let's split up, I'll go west, follow the stream, you go north, inform the other ...... Oh no, they've spotted us, run! As he was talking, he suddenly saw a man pointing to the grass where they were, "Quick, run, may the ancestors bless us!" With a shout, he hurried into the dark woods......
