Chapter 794: Captive
Gordon sneered: "It's the same as those priests, but the temple is not a mess, I don't see them able to eradicate poverty, and when they collect money, they are more insidious than nobles." ”
"Gordon, don't try to provoke me, in the dean's country, no bullshit gods are allowed, and all the missionaries are burned to death!"
"Hmph, how do you prove that what your dean said is true!"
"Nonsense, I'm from a civilian background, the dean took me to the academy, didn't charge money, trained me to become a magician, and now I command the army and go to the other world, it's only been a few years of hard work. Do you know how much it costs to train a child to become an epic mage?"
Gordon was choked, and he wanted to refute it, but it was impossible for him to reach an epic level without spending money to learn magic.
Magical apprentices are slaves of magicians, who have no money to work and are prone to death.
The apprentice is a coolie, but also a test material, and is also responsible for warming the bed of the nominal teacher.
"Now, I can't promise you. Gordon didn't give in at once, and he said to Reese, "We have traveled the world, and we are familiar with the geography of the continent, if you can prove your strength, I will help you." ”
Reese smiled and leaned back in her chair and said, "Now don't talk about ideals, talk about strength?"
"You don't have the ability, why should I help you?" Gordon grimaced, feeling indescribably awkward.
"Well, from today onwards, follow my battalion. By the way, this is close to the southern country, which is the easier place to fight. ”
"Lynn Kingdom, walk more than a thousand miles to the southeast, there is a small plain over there, three hundred miles wide, through which is the Iron Furnace Castle, there are probably more than a thousand garrisons. There is an iron mine over there, which is a relatively important source of economic resources for the Lynn Kingdom. ”
"Iron Furnace Castle, right? 1,000 miles, 1,000 people, break it in three days. ”
"Really?"
"If you can't, I'll let you go, if I can......"
"I'll lead the way. Gordon gritted his teeth.
Recy turned around and shouted behind the magic tent: "Senior sister, I made a bet with people, I will travel thousands of miles in three days to take down a castle of the human kingdom and a thousand defenders!"
"Okay, let's leave tomorrow morning, you can do it. Vivien replied.
The four of Lynn were arranged in a tent, and there was no magic to prohibit them. But Reese instructed them: "If you don't look at you, you should be honest, my order to the subordinates is that if you mess around, you will be killed directly, and you don't have to report to me, understand? Go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow, and take you to the war." ”
Reese was gone, and the four adventurers looked at the spacious tent, and the bone hammer spoke first.
"Gordon, you say, is that magician credible?"
Gordon said: "Anyway, it's only three days, let's ......"
"I'll go out and have a look. Afina dropped her longbow, shook off Gordon's grip on her, and stooped out of the tent. It was not dark outside, and the camp was on the mountainside, and in the distance, there were white clouds floating in the col not far away. There were sixty soldiers standing guard on the left and right, guarding the tent, and it didn't look like it was easy to run.
"You, can't, walk around. A young soldier stretched out a musket and stopped Efina.
Alfina didn't listen to his lingua franca very fluently, but the pronunciation was very standard, which was a little strange.
"You're stammering?"
"No, I'm not a mage, I'm slow. The soldier replied.
"Can I talk to you?" Effina didn't really want to run away, she came out to see because she felt depressed. There are military tents all around, although she is a wilderness ranger, but there are many strong people in this army, she can't beat it, and she can't run.
"I, yes, will, slow. The speed of the soldier's speech became even more anxious.
"I think you're so good, why are you just a creep?" asked Effina curiously. This soldier is not much lower in rank than her, maybe not much different?
He is already an elite adventurer, is the other party's army so powerful?
"I, precision shooter. The soldier shook his musket: "It's a non-commissioned officer, no, a soldier." ”
"I, Efina, Ranger of the Wilderness. Effina pointed to her nose and said to the soldier.
"I, Marx, are precision shooters. ”
"You're the elite of the military, aren't you?"
Marx blushed and said, "Or, I'll give you, find one, the magician?"
"Why?"
"The magician, who speaks, is better than me. ”
"You're already very good, and you don't have any grammatical errors. Effina said.
"Your Excellency, you say, "If you don't have knowledge, you are ...... That is, he makes us learn. ”
"Lord Duke?"
"That's it, the lieutenant said, Dean, ours, lord. ”
"You tell me this, you won't be punished, right?"
"No, need, conceal. ”
"Huh?"
"The duke, everyone, knows it. ”
Marx blushed, thinking that this female elf was so beautiful, but the fragrance on her body was a little weird. He didn't know that the spices on the Wilderness Ranger could change the taste through battle qi and blend in with the environment. Now it's an ordinary vanilla taste, it's not strong, it's just that there are no such girls in the army, which makes his heart beat hard.
"That'...... How many people are in your army?"
"Sixty-six thousand. ”
Efina didn't know what to say, why did the soldiers in front of her dare to say this kind of secret?
But a few soldiers around him didn't squint, and the distance was not far, so they should have heard it?
Efina couldn't understand why this was the case.
"And, the robots...... That is, puppet warriors. Marx said.
Alfina was surprised, she was captured all the way, and she saw many, many soldiers, but she never saw a puppet.
"How much money do you make a year?" said Effina didn't want to ask about the military, she was afraid of hurting the big soldier.
"Twelve gold coins. Marx said this sentence very fluently.
Efina was even more surprised, twelve gold coins, which is the income of a few gold coins after a year's hard work.
"You're an elite soldier, I think you're well equipped. ”
"Here, it's counted, in my hometown, it's not counted. ”
Aifina wanted to say something, but a few soldiers came over with food boxes, and one of them said to Aifina: "I have brought you food, there are regulations on drinking water in the army, and you can't take a bath, so bear with it." There is a separate tent at the back with a toilet if needed. ”
Elena grabbed someone who could talk and hurriedly said, "I want to look around, is that okay?"
The soldier said, "No, everyone is busy now, and no one is with you." When you get up tomorrow, you will go with the army, and it is convenient to see everything you want, so you will rest today. ”
He speaks fluently and in a tone that cannot be denied.
Then the soldier commanded his men to bring the food box to the tent, and when Alfina was inside, he led the men away.
Efina leaned to the door, listened for a while, and did not hear Marx's reprimand, so she was relieved.
The food box was opened on the ground, and there were four servings of rice and meat from unknown animals, stewed with a shiny and attractive glossy texture, with a layer of oil, and a vegetable leaf underneath, and a soup prepared next to it.
None of the four adventurers moved their forks, and Gordon asked, "Efina, what did you go out and find out?"
"Let's eat. Effina suddenly felt very powerless.
The little soldier at the door can earn twelve gold coins a year. Does this dean still accept people?
Don't look at adventurers, they can also drink wine and eat meat, and they are very good at fighting, what's the use. Do you want to be a bodyguard? Definitely can't do it, be a robber? Gordon won't let you. Going to fight Warcraft, I was unlucky, and I couldn't even get the potion money back. It's more dangerous than fighting monsters, and the thieves in the team died the last time they explored the troll ruins.
The news that you can earn twelve gold coins as a soldier drives Alfina crazy.
The orc sat down and muttered, "I'm such a big man, just give me something to eat, just like you." ”
"I don't have alcohol yet, don't you know that dwarves like to drink?"
Gordon smiled bitterly, these brothers are really not long-hearted. They were all captured, and they didn't eat well.
The bone hammer used a fork to stick a piece of meat into his mouth, the aroma wrapped around his tongue, as if he had been burned, he swallowed it in one bite, and there was an indescribable feeling in his throat and eyes.
It's not just the incense, this feeling, it's like once, hunting a powerful demonic beast, everyone around the bonfire, roasting the most essential part of the demonic beast.
Yes, there are good things in the meat, which can make people grow their strength, feel very full, and want to continue eating desperately.
Gordon was also hungry, so he sat down, took a spoonful of the soup, felt that it tasted good, and then scooped up another spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth.
"It's really good, Effina, it's like a magician eats!" Gordon cried out in surprise, he was half a spellcaster, and he could feel the aura contained in the rice.
For Taoist priests, they may be dismissive, they have better spiritual rice, but ordinary professionals, how can they have this kind of blessing.
Ordinary spiritual rice can already improve their physique.
Yes, the army of the dukedom brought its own dry food, which was made of spiritual rice. Unless there is really no food, there will be a policy of low supply. Eating this kind of rice all year round allows some professionals with poor talent to jump a few more levels.
This kind of spiritual rice can be grown in factories, the cost is not too high, and it is supplied to the main force.
If the nobles want to buy it, they have to spend a lot of money, and ordinary people can't afford it.
No matter how low-level it is this, it is not Lingmi, and the output is huge, which is enough for the duke to feed more people. Factory planting does not need to consider natural disasters, and drought and flood ensure harvest. The empire has low food prices, and the dukedom is also doing well, and does not intend to deduct money from it.
For the nobles of the empire, if they want to make a fortune, they can go to the other world to fight and rob as much as they want.
Efina was also curious, so she sat down, ate a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of meat, and drank a mouthful of soup. She's not a fussy elf, and she thinks it's very good.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, what many low-level mages eat is definitely not as good as this.
After the elf finished his meal, he raised his head and asked, "Gordon, do you really plan to lead the way for these people?"
"Look at it, Iron Furnace Castle is the elite of the Lynn Kingdom, with four hundred cavalry. Count Mary, is the Grand Knight. ”
"But there are 66,000 of them. "Effina was well fed, and was deeply worried.
