Chapter 2: Treasures in the Underground Labyrinth
???β Son, the task of reviving our family is entrusted to you! Don't you know that our ancestors had a great hunting spirit named Hade, whose name resounded throughout the continent, and once manipulated a group of dragons to destroy a country alone!" Tang Ji's father is in a super good mood, and when he is in a good mood, he will inevitably drink a few more glasses, and if he drinks a few more glasses, he will say some boundless crazy words, Tang Ji didn't take it seriously at all, although he also knew the person of Hede, but he didn't believe that Hede was his ancestor, if the ancestor was really so good, why did their family now live in such a small town by hunting?
"Don Quixote, from today onwards, you will be called Don Quixote! Inherit the name of your ancestors, and from now on become a great hunting spirit!" Don Ji's father said this, and fell into a happy sleep.
Tang Ji was called a depressed person, he was inexplicably changed his name, and he was still a gray name in his previous life, which really made Tang Ji cry and laugh.
The next day, the whole town knew that Tang Ji had become a hunting spirit, which was all due to Tang Ji's father, because his father said that Tang Ji was a hunting spirit when he met people, which made Tang Ji depressed! Because everywhere he went, people looked at him curiously, like a gorilla, and the bold one even grabbed a hen and asked Tang Ji face to face, what was the hen talking about, and Tang Ji looked at the man who caught the hen with a dark face, did he want to tell him that the hen was saying: "I have a sentence about selling my mother, I don't know whether to say it or not!"
In short, it was a very unpleasant day!
In the evening, my father told Don Guy that the Knights from the Imperial Capital would come to Lille tomorrow, and that martial law had begun tonight, and the streets of the town had begun to be cleared in order to welcome the Knights tomorrow.
As soon as Tang Ji heard this, he was interested, the Knights?
Early the next morning, Tang Ji came to the central street of the town early, but it was already crowded with people, and it was so crowded that it was not lively! It seems that the news has already leaked out.
In the summer of 7102 in the Hunting Spirit Continent calendar, the sun was scorching, and the sun was like a fire dragon in the abyss, angrily releasing energy to the earth. In the Ottoman border town of Lille, the once spacious and clean central street is now crowded with onlookers, and the crowds on both sides of the road are bustling with people, men and women, young and old, everyone's face is full of curiosity and expectation. The sheriffs who temporarily maintain order on the side of the road are under great pressure, more than 10,000 enthusiastic people give them a headache, the brand new uniforms and bright red armor are all handprints, today is a special day, the most elite dragon legion of the empire came to Lille Town, the most remote town in the empire, to inspect, they came for two purposes, one is to deter the savage steppes and neighbors who have been about to move recently, after all, Lille Town is not far to the east of the desert steppe, and the other purpose is to investigate the orc injury incident that happened near the outskirts of Lille Town not long ago, this is the main purpose of their coming, the brigade is just here to put on a show, just to give the residents of Lille a reassurance, which means that the empire has not forgotten the people living in the borderlands, and will not abandon them, and a small group of elite scouts have already traveled to the place where the incident occurred.
I saw the general riding a tall horse in the middle of the street, dressed in silver-white heavy armor with dragon patterns, shining under the sunlight, a burgundy cloak, grinning behind him, a pair of murderous eyes under the stainless steel mask, like a god of war, the war horse under him is also a specially cultivated breed, unusually tall and mighty, scarlet eyes, whirring and panting, also wearing a special iron armor, majestic, as if telling you that its origin is extraordinary.
The silver-armored general looked at the people on both sides of the road impatiently, and scolded silently in his heart: "Damn, the family has to let me come to this place where birds don't shit to earn military merits, isn't there any other way?
However, of course, the enthusiastic people did not know what the general was thinking, and looking at his gloomy eyes, they thought that they had been trained in fighting with the enemy all year round!
Behind the general was a silver-armored knight with a neat pace, six people in a row, carrying six huge legion flags, on the flag was a lifelike dragon with teeth and claws, ready to fly high, it was really majestic, and the rest of the knights were like long dragons, and there was no end in sight. The young girls on both sides of the road looked eagerly at this group of knights, flowers were thrown everywhere, screams, cheers were endless, I don't know how many girls will lose their precious first night tonight.
After a while, all the cavalry walked through the central street and went to the barracks of the garrison outside the town to set up camp, the people on both sides of the street were obviously unsatisfied, but they had to disperse and go home, Don Ji looked at this group of so-called knights, and felt that it was nothing more than that, and the armor they wore was not much different from the European medieval soldiers in the previous life, so be it. Tang Ji simply found a cool place on the side of the street, sat comfortably and rested, and looked at the young girl passing by with a sweaty face.
The Flying Dragon Legion was stationed in the military camp in the town, the number of garrison troops in the town was not much, only more than 1,000 people, and the sky was high and the emperor was far away, such a remote town, the number of soldiers was insufficient, and the superiors were also eating empty salaries, resulting in the military camp being in disrepair, and the armament depot was mostly broken copper and iron, this time I heard that the Flying Dragon Legion sent a division, and the garrison officers repaired the barracks overnight, barely able to reach the standard of living people, but it was certainly far from meeting the standards of the Flying Dragon Legionγ He slowly took off the helmet on his head, a short golden hair in the sun, a little dazzling, the general inadvertently released a little warrior's breath, and then smashed the helmet on the ground, the best stainless steel helmet smashed on the tattered ground of the barracks, and smashed out a basin-sized pit, the garrison officer was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and kept screaming for mercy.
"Lord Reynolds, spare your life, the villain will go and vacate the best inn in town for you, and you will never be wronged, spare your life, my lord!" said the garrison officer with a crying voice.
The corners of the young man's mouth, known as "Renault," rose slightly, and he smiled: "Yohe, I haven't said anything yet, I've let you tell me? Do you know that our Ottoman Empire respects martial arts? I brought 5,000 cavalry here, and you will give us such a barracks? Believe it or not, I'll cut off your head right now?"
The young general's words were so loud that the whole school was silent, and even the panting of the horses seemed to disappear, as if they were controlled by magic.
"It's so boring, it's boring to tease him, it's boring, someone will throw this person outside the barracks, and the rest will enter the camp!"
"Yes, General!"
The general's subordinates muttered in their hearts: "What are you teasing him, you have used both fighting spirit and magic, this general's temperament is really weird!"
The Flying Dragon Legion is worthy of being the most elite legion in the empire, in just a tea time, the military camp is neatly arranged, it was originally a military camp of 1,000 people, but it is hard to live 5,000 people, I have to say that the military discipline of the Flying Dragon Legion is very good.
Besides, Tang Ji, the people on the street dispersed, and the girl was almost gone, and Tang Ji, who felt bored, began to wander around, wandering around and wandering around, and he came to the edge of the military camp outside the town, and he had just witnessed all this from beginning to end not far outside the barracks, Tang Ji only eased up at this time, when the general reprimanded his subordinates just now, he himself seemed to be unable to move, and even felt that his heart seemed to stop for a second, it was incredible, and now he was gasping for breath, as if relieved.
Although the barracks were broken, the soldiers of the Wyvern Legion did not dare to slack off, and immediately organized patrols and stood guard, and the barracks immediately became heavily guarded.
Tang Ji looked at the heavily guarded military camp and frowned, at this moment a gray wild cat walked leisurely past Tang Ji, Tang Ji rolled his eyes, and then took out a dried salted fish from his arms and shook it in front of the wild cat.
"Kitten, what do you think this is?"
The wild cat's eyes were rounded: "Meow!meow!meow!" and then used the cat's paws to catch the salted fish.
Tang Ji gently lifted the salted fish in his hand, then released his consciousness and said to the wild cat: "Little meow, do you want dried fish?
Young Renault was reading a book in the barracks, reading the most common book in the Hunting Spirit Continent "General History of the Continent", but this book was compiled by mainland scholars thousands of years ago, and a lot of information has fallen behind a lot, but because this is a military camp, there is only this kind of enlightenment reading, Renault is about to fart, so he took this book that he didn't read very seriously when he was a child, and took it over and read it carefully, because he hadn't read it well before, and now it still has a different flavor to read, and when he was concentrating on reading, a knock on the door of his henchman interrupted him.
"Come in," Renault said lazily, then closed the book.
"What's the matter?"
"General, the brother who went out to investigate this morning is back"
"Oh, what have you found? Is there really an alien invasion from the north? What about the steppe people?"
"General, the matter in the north is a rumor, and after the brothers investigated, they found that it was an ordinary beast hurting people, which was falsely rumored, and then it became a foreign race to hurt people, and I haven't found the group of people who originally spread the rumors, and I don't know if someone has ulterior motives, but there is indeed a situation on the grassland people's side......" After speaking, the general's henchmen looked left and right, and at this moment, a cat called "Meow~" came from outside the account.
Tang Ji was controlling the consciousness of the wild cat at the moment, and his heart was in his throat just now, but fortunately he was a cat now, and he was confused when he barked.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's just a wild cat, the environment is absolutely safe, say it!" Renault looked at his henchman with interest, and then glanced lightly in the direction where Tang Ji was outside the account.
The henchman lowered his voice and said: "General, according to the report, now the various tribes and tribes on the grassland are gathering to control the strings, because the Khan King of the grassland court recently passed away unexpectedly, and his eldest son is not around, and the other two sons are not mourning, and they want to seize the throne, and the various tribes of the grassland are also preparing to stand in line." β
Renault nodded thoughtfully: "This is a good thing, after all, the grassland is in chaos, and my Ottoman border can be stable for decades, and this grassland king is not so easy to be, if you want to sit firmly in the position of the Great Khan of the Golden Horde, you have to ask us if the Ottomans agree, it is estimated that people will come from the grassland in the next few days." β
"General, there is another thing, that is, the cause of death of the King of the Steppe Khan, it is said that he died from exploring the underground labyrinth that appeared on the steppe recently, after all, he is only in his fifties and is in the prime of life, not caused by disease, nor by others. It's just that I don't know what treasures happened in the dungeon this time. β
"The dungeon, the treasure, it's getting more and more interesting, hehe. Renault laughed at the end.
At this time, a herald walked in quickly from Renault's big tent in the barracks: "General, we found a sneaky little imp not far from the barracks, do you want to catch it?"
Renault played with the general history of the continent on the table, ignoring the heralds. Then he closed his eyes slightly.
"Huh, it looks like someone is watching me?" Tang Ji, who was controlling the wild cat with his consciousness outside the military tent, suddenly had such an idea, so he quickly retracted his consciousness, but this feeling of being spied on did not disappear, he quickly looked left and right, but he was the only one around, where was there anyone? and it was at least five hundred meters away from the barracks.
"Is it my delusion? No way! It's weird here, something is wrong, get out of here. Just then the wild cat also ran back, and it seemed to sense the danger, and Don Ji picked up the wild cat and ran quickly in the direction of the town.
Renault slowly opened his eyes, opened the general history of the mainland, and said to his subordinates: "Don't care, it's just an ant, tomorrow I will release the news, and it will be said that there is a dungeon in the desert grassland." Then he waved people out
"Yes! General!"
"Interesting fellow, did you spot me, young spirit hunter?" Renault smiled and continued reading.
Tang Ji ran back to Lille Town from the barracks in one breath, and then gasped for air, at this moment Tang Ji suddenly felt that he was too weak, the fear of the unknown was simply terrible, the feeling of being peeped, as if he was seen clearly from the inside out, this feeling was very bad, Tang Ji secretly swore in his heart, he must become stronger, he must not have this feeling again! Through this infiltration into the barracks, Tang Ji learned the purpose of the Flying Dragon Legion to come to Lille Town, and also knew the appearance of the underground palace, and then Tang Ji let go of the wild cat, and then walked to his house step by step, but he felt that his legs were getting heavier and heavier, and he was more and more disobedient. This frightened Tang Ji's parents, and they found the medicine master and the goddess in the town, and they poured medicine and exorcised evil spirits, but fortunately, Tang Ji woke up the next day.
