A large group of Lombak soldiers sat around the campfire, drinking wine and chatting loudly about all sorts of pornographic jokes, with occasional laughter.

A few drunken soldiers were already snoring in the corner, and many more were already asleep in their tents. Only a handful of soldiers in charge of the sentry remained on guard.

At night, the camp was unusually quiet, except for the noise of the soldiers.

Tulu squatted beside Andrew, and his eyelids were already sleepy: "Master, why don't you rest early?" ”

"Are you sleepy?" Andrew glanced up at Turu.

In the blink of an eye, Tulu had been with Andrew for three years.

In three years, Tulu, who is an orc, now looks almost the same as a human in terms of clothing and behavior, and of course, his appearance cannot be changed after all. The fangs of that mouth stood unusually conspicuous in the crowd. Or rather, unusually ugly.

Of course, as the only disciple of Archmage Andrew, let alone an orc, no one dares to discriminate against him, even if he is a mouse.

In the past few years, he has been rolling on the basis of the magic field, wearing a mage robe, but he can't use a single trick of magic, but he is much more fluent in the continental lingua franca.

When he first met Andrew, he couldn't even speak clearly.

Oh yes, and also, orcs grow very fast. So he's not a kid anymore. The head, even taller than Andrew, looked unusually burly. Standing next to Andrew was like a bodyguard.

After hesitating for a while, Tulu blinked his eyes twice and whispered, "No, I'm not sleepy......"

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep, you won't be able to help you anyway. Andrew lowered his head and continued to copy in his notebook.

Tulu shook his head: "If the master doesn't sleep, I can't sleep." ”

"Are you afraid that when you sleep, I will secretly eat something delicious by myself?" Andrew was amused.

"No...... I'm afraid that if the master says something, I will fall asleep and I won't be able to hear......"

"But I'm an elf, you're an orc. You're born to need more sleep than I am. If necessary, I can go half a month without sleeping, can you do it?"

Tulu could only look at Andrew silently and stopped talking.

"Learning magic doesn't happen overnight, and I've been studying at the Academy of Magic for a hundred years. Even the most important progress I've made hasn't been made in that time. You don't need to be in such a hurry. ”

"Yes...... Master, I don't have that long life. I don't even know if I'll live to see the day you rescue your wife. ”

Andrew's pen paused, and he looked up at Turu again.

Tulu, who was bigger than Andrew, looked at his master with blank eyes.

"Don't worry, I have a way to prolong my life. Your master is very capable. One of the charges for which I was convicted in absentia by the Blood Elf Court was the smuggling of the Blood Elf Secretary's Library, which only the Grand Priest could enter. With that, Andrew closed the notebook in his hand, reached out and patted Tulu's broad shoulder: "Sleep, I'll be busy tomorrow, and I'll sleep too." ”

"Master, have you figured out the location of the ruins of Krimasha?" Turu's eyes widened slightly.

"Yes. Andrew smiled meaningfully, then stood up on his knees: "Before you go to bed, you take a turn to see if any of our people haven't slept, and let them rest quickly." I don't want to see a bunch of guys yawning in broad daylight tomorrow. As for the Lombak soldiers, leave them alone. Whatever they want. ”

"Okay, master. ”

Reaching out and patting Turu's shoulder again, Andrew stepped forward and walked towards his tent. He whispered to himself, "For magicians, knowledge is power, and so is lifespan. As long as there is enough life, there is enough knowledge, then nothing is impossible. I'm a little envious of those lichs. Infinite life, no need for rest yet. Or I'll become a lich in the future, and then again, I've seen the secret tome that transforms the living into lichs. ”

Reaching out to lift the curtain of the tent, he saw William's bare skull at a glance. And Jones.

"Long time no see, Andrew. Jones greeted Andrew with a smile.

All of a sudden, Andrew's expression froze. He silently lowered the curtain and prepared to turn away.

However, another lich, Lucy, had already appeared behind him and pushed him straight into the tent.

There was no room for resistance, and he was pushed straight in front of Jones. Then Lucy, dressed in a black robe, also entered the tent and laid down the curtain by the way.

At this moment, there were not only Jones, William, Lucy, Andrew, and Adair in the small camp.

Adair sat in Andrew's chair, and several others were standing.

"I haven't seen you for so long, will you run away as soon as you see me?" Jones sighed helplessly: "It's really disappointing." The last time we saw each other, it seems, was on the eve of the Battle of Salted Fish Harbor, in Mount Azrant. You left us behind and ran away. ”

"I said I'd take revenge on you!"

"Do you think I believe it?"

"Believe it or not, I'm serious anyway. After saying that, Andrew seemed to feel that his lie was too fake, after all, not everyone is as stupid as Christina, he believed everything he said, so he had to add embarrassedly: "I really have a little idea, a little, although not much, but it does have." You should believe in our friendship, we fought together, didn't we?"

Jones rolled his eyes: "Whatever, anyway, my father has already pardoned you, and I didn't come to seek revenge on you." Although I do not like you. ”

"You're not here to seek revenge on me, so why are you coming to me?" Andrew suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "I heard that you inherited some of the power of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, to be honest, this is really surprising. In the past, you barely took the initiative to call Gray 'father', and you tried to avoid talking about your adoptive father-to-son relationship. But just now you called him 'Father' even when you were talking to me, so naturally. I'm pretty ...... Surprised. You know. ”

As he spoke, Andrew laughed and looked around at the crowd.

Jones didn't smile, just stared at him quietly. Nor do they speak.

Everyone present was silently staring at Andrew, especially the two lichs among them, and Andrew began to have a numb scalp. The laughter grew awkward.

After a while, Andrew could only collect his attention and said, "So...... What are you looking for me?"

Jones looked at Andrew and asked coldly, "Are you looking for the ruins of Klima Tha?"

"Uh...... Right. Andrew nodded stiffly.

"Did you find it?"

"Not yet...... Well, we've found some small ruins on the periphery, but not much. ”

"Are you doing something for the Blood Elves? I mean the Blood Elf Queen, Tini Shabas. ”

"No! I'm doing things for the Lombback royal family!" Andrew quickly shouted.

"But why do I think it's the Lombback royal family doing things for you?" Jones then asked coldly.

Obviously, a few years have passed, and even for the immortal race, a few years can change a lot. Especially from experience. Today's Jones is no longer the original Jones, and he is obviously confused.

Helpless, Andrew replied frankly: "Follow...... There's also a little bit of a connection with Tini Shabas. Just a little bit. ”

"What did they give you?"

"Wealth, but also knowledge sharing. ”

"Creative Commons?"

"Everything excavated from the ruins of Klimasha is very dilapidated, and there are very few well-preserved objects. It takes a lot of manpower to fix. Even the classics have to be translated, and I can't do these things alone. ”

"Can I ask you to stop immediately?"

"Stop?" Andrew, who was still looking flickering, was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, stop. I need Modo ore, it's very important, only the Blood Elves have it. Only the secrets in the ruins of Krimatha can be obtained from the Blood Elves. If you continue to serve them, I will have a hard time getting it. Jones replied lightly.

"No, you can't. You have no right to interfere with me. Andrew was a little excited.

"No, I have the right to intervene. ”

"You didn't. I'm no longer wanted, and Gray pardoned me. You don't have the right to force me to do anything, or not to do anything. This is not chivalry. It will certainly not conform to the teachings of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See. ”

"I think you're getting the logic wrong. Jones said indifferently: "If I want to intervene with you, I don't need to base it on the mistakes you have made before, I can use another reason." For example, you instigated Lombard to annex Gustav's domain. ”

"You have no proof. ”

"I don't need proof. No, no, to be precise, I don't need to punish you to intervene in a reasonable way. It doesn't matter if you instigated it or not, it's a fact that the Rumbark invaded Gustav. Gustav is now under the trusteeship of the Southern Alliance. I just need to write a letter to Uncle Benedict and tell him what's going on here, and I'll have the same effect right away. ”

Andrew's expression froze, and he looked at Jones in astonishment.

Jones looked at him quietly, his face determined.

"You're threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's an exhortation. Uncle Benedict has been very busy lately, and I don't want to trouble him if I don't have to. But if you're sure you won't cooperate, I don't mind bothering him a bit. Of course, he will definitely be more than happy to be troubled, after all, he also needs Modo ore. Tell me when you're leaving, or I'll set a time for you. ”

Andrew's eyes widened.

Jones was equally unyielding.

The two sides were at a stalemate.

The minutes just ticked by.

The firelight on the menorah reflected Jones's immature face, as well as Andrew's weathered face.

After a while, Andrew could only take a step back, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the two lichs next to him, and said softly, "Okay, I'll leave." The ruins of Klimasha are yours, congratulations. Also, you're much cleaner than your adoptive father, Gray. It seems that Gray's accident is not necessarily a bad thing for the White Bone Holy Light Holy See. Hahahaha. ”

Smiling, Andrew casually picked up his backpack, stuffed several booklets on the table into it, and then took one last look at Jones, lifted the curtain, and left.

In the distance, there was a Tulu shout outside the door: "Master, aren't you sleeping?"

"I'll go and sleep in your tent. ”

"What's going on? Why don't you sleep in your own tent?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go. ”

Only Jones, Lucy, William, and Adair were left in the tent, quietly.

Looking at Jones, Adair asked softly, "I can't believe you were once comrades-in-arms." It seems that you are more strict with him than anyone else. I thought you'd pick a way that was mutually beneficial, at least a compromise. I didn't expect ...... Although that's the way I approve the most. ”

Looking at the direction Andrew left, Jones said indifferently: "He is a traitor, during the Battle of Salted Fish Harbor, there was only one traitor in the entire Silver Moon Knights, and that was him. ”

"Well, it's a traitor, that's another story. A traitor is more odious than an enemy. Adair spread his hands helplessly.

William giggled and said, "Actually, since he is a traitor, I think it is most appropriate to kill him." ”

"We can't do that, Father has forgiven him. If we kill him, we will be against the will of the Father. ”

"Well, I'm just talking. William shrugged.

Lucy teased beside her, "You should learn from me, my faith is firm enough." It's okay to never think about killing. But then again, I don't really understand it yet. You have to work harder to learn. ”

"What's next?" asked Adair.

"It's almost dawn, and I have to hurry back to Cartier. They're still waiting for me in Cartier. I'd like to ask the Blood Elf Queen to talk to her again and tell her about this new news. ”

......

From afar, Andrew quietly lifted the curtains on the windows of the tent and looked at Jones's original tent from a distance.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Turu asked beside him.

"I'm watching my old friend go. Andrew craned his neck and replied casually.

"Old friend, someone has sneaked in?!" Turu was stunned.

"Shhhhh ”

"We can't win it all together?"

"There are two lichs in there, two bloods. ”

"Lich...... White Bone Holy Light Holy See?"

"Yes. Rest assured, they have no intention of doing anything to us, but we have to get out of here tomorrow. ”

"Leave?"

"Yes, the location of the ruins of Klimasha has been calculated, but they want us to leave immediately, or there is a risk of force. ”

"That'...... Are we going to do that?"

"Of course not. Half-squinting, Andrew said leisurely: "We secretly excavate the ruins of Krimartha, and don't let them know, doesn't it mean that we haven't excavated it? Even if Gray comes, I can't admit it, and you're just Jones. ”
