Faust smiled and leaned against the wall, "But ...... Speak, sir, speak. The shield provided by the Driller was far stronger than Faust's own, which made him very relaxed.

He removed the crumbling shield from his body and let his mind relax so that he could better listen to the stories told by the Driller—and in doing so, he even regained his ability to absorb emotions.

“...... Well, in that case, I'll get started. The wriggling of the Driller became slow and smooth, and Faust felt the vicissitudes of life in him. He had smelled the same smell on the old chief and Mayor Marula, but the Driller was far richer and longer than the two of them.

"I can't tell how long it was ago......" The voice of the Driller Worm seemed to float from a place higher than the clouds through the dirt, "Two thousand years, or five thousand years? Maybe ten thousand years." ”

"At that time, I was still a human being, and so was General Baba Yaga......"

"My human name is Ktorn. The Drill Worm seemed to break free from his memories, and his overly ethereal tone became flat again, "It's Lord Baba Yajia's chief advisor. ”

On the eve of the collapse of the Empire, Baba Yaga was already the "Vice-Emperor", and according to the tradition of the Empire, it was almost certain that she would be the next Emperor and the first female Regba in history. And her chief adviser will most likely be the next imperial prime minister.

However, Faust was more concerned about another matter than the prominent status of the Driller Worm when he was a human, and he raised his hand to interrupt Cuthorn's words, "What do you mean 'General Baba Yaga is also human'? You mean that she is no longer human?"

Instead of getting angry, the Driller Worm Ktorn asked in surprise, "You don't know? Lord Baba Yaga has not been human for a long time—at least, not fully human. ”

The fact that even Faust could hardly joke at the moment of "that ......" - he had too many questions to ask and a jumble of thoughts to sort out.

"Don't rush to ask questions yet, most of your problems can be solved in the later stories. "Cotthorn has been able to steal Faust's whiteness, and it has to be said that this is a welcome improvement.

"As you said, I'm not a particularly smart person. That's right, as an advisor, I can't help Baba Yaga in the slightest. ”

Ground Drill Worm Ktorn paused, "The only reason she chose me was this. Its swollen body squirmed, ripples moving from his head to his tail - like the fat of a big fat man.

But the sight of this fat trembling is truly staggering. Magnificent earthen walls and elaborate fortresses rise from the ground, forming a concrete and small city before Faust's eyes—small but well-proportioned and intricately designed.

"I didn't expect you to be an outstanding architect...... No, in any era, you deserve the reputation of a master architect. Faust straightened up and bowed to the Driller.

He didn't understand architecture, but as a nobleman, he still had basic aesthetic qualities. The city's architecture is still considered a masterpiece on its own, but it doesn't deserve the title of master architect – there are people in every era who can design such buildings.

But if there are thousands of buildings in a metropolis that are of this level, only a rare master architect can do it – and he is a genius in urban planning, so many buildings are harmoniously combined.

"You're right, little man. "I can design the most magnificent city for her, and I can build the strongest fortress for her." "The model city in front of Faust is constantly changing, with old buildings collapsing and new ones emerging.

It has been transformed from a city of scholars with towering minarets to a commercial city full of domes, with a line of heavy fortresses and a huge castle towering between mountains and rivers...... Even the well-informed Faust couldn't help but be amazed.

"What a miracle!" Faust exclaimed, "but it requires not only a great deal of architectural knowledge, but also a great deal of military and domestic knowledge." ”

"Don't compliment me, I know what's going on in your mind. Ktorn wriggled uncomfortably, "You're saying I'm a nerd, aren't you?"

"No need to refute. He bowed to his big head, "Baba Yaga has said the same thing, just as she said that I am not a smart person." ”

He was silent for a few seconds, "You and Baba Yaga-sama, it's very similar......"

"Where, where," Faust rejected, waving his hand, "I am not a man who can go down in history." What's more, Baba Yajia-sama, whether in terms of personal ability or eloquence, is far from being comparable to me. "Ha, I'm not the kind of idiot who jumps up and does thankless things, and I suggest you don't use her as an analogy to me.

Khtorn didn't continue the conversation, he swam slowly and began to continue his story, "Anyway, the adults chose me to be her chief advisor - at the time, she was just an ordinary officer, and I was a recent graduate war warlock. ”

Faust knew that the Battlefield Warlock was a kind of psychic warlock who didn't want to understand anything, and that psychic abilities were no different from spells or magic to them—they were nothing more than tricks used to interfere with the physical plane.

"At that time, I couldn't be called a chief consultant, what was that position...... Hmm, the chief of staff?" he seemed to be trying to remember his memories from 10,000 years ago.

Faust was happy in his heart, he had just negotiated with a chief of staff on his front foot, and now he met another one, maybe he was more destined for this position?

Kerthon did not know about Faust's slander, and he still told his story, "It was a battle that was not fierce, you know, at that time, there were almost no other civilizations except the Empire. Outside of the civil war, the Emperor ** team only had the task of clearing the barbarian tribes. ”

These tasks are often seen as vacations and recreational activities between civil wars...... It was the same that time. Ktorn's tone was slightly different, a little melancholy, a little like remembrance.

"At that time, we easily broke through the barbarian walled city. Their warriors are vulnerable to the Emperor's ** people, and those barbarian warlocks who have some demonic spells are difficult to fight against our powerful psychic abilities. ”

Stupid, the most proud of the psychic ability is not the powerful combat power, Faust sneered in his heart. But I have to admit that this big bug's spiritual energy is very abundant.

"We quickly got to the stage of dividing the spoils, and that's where it all began......"
