Chapter 52: The Ottoes
The tall middle-aged man and his party did not trap the two Casios, apparently not worried about their escape, but they searched them anyway and took their only remaining sword. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But in addition, Casio and the two didn't even find a single hair on their bodies, which obviously made the two guys who searched a little dissatisfied, but they didn't expect Casio and the two to be such poor and white people.
Casio and Tony followed the tall middle-aged man through the forest, and after about half an hour, Casio finally saw their camp.
Their camp was located in an open forest clearing, interspersed with marching tents, some of them were busy cooking, others were patrolling and guarding, and others were doing their daily basic training in the nearby clearing.
This scene made Casio understand that it should not be a day or two before these people came to this neighborhood.
"Captain Sisko!" Arriving at the gate of the camp, two soldiers gave a military salute to the tall middle-aged man.
Only then did Casio know that the tall middle-aged man was called Sisko.
Sisko nodded, and continued with Casio and the others towards the camp.
Casio hung his head and looked dejected, but in fact he was secretly observing the camp.
He already had seven or eight layers of certainty in his heart, and he could be sure that Sisko's purpose was the ore vein, and he didn't know if they knew that the source ore was under the ore vein.
Since their purpose is most likely to be the ore vein, then it has already overlapped with Casio's purpose, and sooner or later there will be a battle between the two sides for the control of the ore vein.
Only by observing the enemy's military situation can we play a surprising role in the battle.
However, after this general observation, Casio's heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
Sisko's camp had about a hundred people, and almost all of them were regular soldiers, reaching the level of primary strength. Among them, there are several squad leaders, and they may even be mid-level strength.
Don't look at the number of people Casio brought over this time is only a few dozen fewer than the other party, but in terms of quality, it can't be compared at all.
There are more than 100 people on the other side, and the lowest ones are all beginner-level strength, and none of the recruits in Yalie have primary-level strength for the time being. At full capacity, there are only twenty-two people on Casio's side with beginner strength, and this still counts him and Tony.
As for the mid-level strength, he didn't have any of them.
If it is high-level, there is an Agaret, but at least what Casio sees now, Sisko should at least have high-level strength.
"It's a worrying situation!" Casio felt that he might as well not understand the other party's situation, and after understanding it, he felt even more depressed.
While Casio was secretly looking at the camp set-up, they had already arrived at the largest tent in the entire camp.
"I'll go in and tell the Viscount, you're waiting outside. Sisko said to the soldiers who were escorting Casio and the two, and after being informed by the soldiers at the door, he entered the tent.
Casio listened intently, and vaguely heard Sisko start to report to some viscount inside.
But after a while, Sisko walked out of the tent, his face was not very good-looking: "Escort them down first, Lord Viscount is busy now." ”
With that, Sisko glanced at Casio and the others, and left the place first.
Before leaving, Casio clearly heard the cheerful laughter of a man and several women coming from inside the tent, and he understood why Sisko's face was so ugly.
Because Lord Viscount is indeed very busy, busy with women!
The camp was small, and the two Casios were quickly escorted to a makeshift wooden cage.
And in the cage, there are several short figures huddled inside, and it is clear that the two of them are not the first guests.
When he saw those figures again, Casio frowned, and he always felt a little familiar, but because the other party was hugging each other, he couldn't see his face, and he didn't have a clue for a while.
With his hands locked in a wooden cage, Casio began to examine his internal environment.
In fact, there is really nothing to say about the interior, and the only thing that can catch Casio's attention is the few small figures huddled in the corner.
"What are these guys doing with kids?" Tony naturally saw it, his brows furrowed, and he walked towards the corner.
"You're not hurt, are you?" said Tony, reaching for a child on the back.
At that moment, one of the children suddenly raised his head, muttered something to Tony, and spread his arms in front of Tony.
Tony was suddenly startled, and bounced straight off the ground, his face slightly pale.
Tony naturally won't be scared by a child, the key is that the "person" who looks like a child doesn't look like a child at all.
I saw that the other party was about half a man tall, and the skin exposed to the outside of his clothes was indigo, and revealed a strange texture of dead tree bark mixed with rocks, and a face was the same as a human, with a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
But the other party's eyes have no pupils, the whole eye is faintly yellow, and there are a pair of pointed ears that do not look like humans.
The strange creature was grinning at Tony with a look of rage.
"What is this?" Tony's voice shifted a little in fright.
As Tony spoke, he turned his head to look at Casio, only to see Casio's shocked face, obviously a little distracted.
"Prince...... , do you know?" Tony was about to call His Royal Highness the Prince, but when he thought that there were soldiers guarding outside the wooden cage, he swallowed his words back.
Hearing Tony's question, Casio nodded, he had a memory in his mind that overshadowed even the greatest scholars in the world, how could he not know the species in front of Tony.
The child-like species is a group called the Ottoes.
The Ottos are not beasts and low-IQ people, on the contrary, they are a group of beings with high intelligence and a complete civilization of their own.
If this is the only way, it will not cause Casio to lose such a temper. Gurea is not only a human being, but also a world where various races live together, and Casio has seen more strange races than the Ottos who don't know how many.
What really shocked him was the time when the Ottoites appeared!
According to Casio's memory, the first time the Otto people appeared in the player's field of vision was almost eighty years later. And not long after the appearance of the Ottos, there was a world plot that impressed all players at that time, like a nightmare, slowly unfolded.
But Casio clearly remembers that the present time is by no means the world after eighty years, is it because of his appearance, the nightmare that once took eighty years to appear, has come in advance?
Thinking of this, Casio couldn't help but shudder, if that nightmare really appeared in advance, he was 100% sure that there would not be a single living creature in the entire Gurea, and the whole world would fall into an eternal nightmare because of this.
And this is exactly what Casio has been reluctant to think about, and it is also something he wants to try to prevent.
After sorting out his mood, Casio gradually regained his composure, and he understood that the immediate task was to communicate with the Otto tribe and confirm his suspicions.
