Chapter 38: Cucumber or Radish, Which One Do You Want?
Audrey's request made Richard's eyes widen.
"What did you say?"
He pointed to himself and said incredulously, "I heard you right, I asked me to help you?"
For a long time, the relationship between him and Audrey has not been very good, and Her Royal Highness the princess's delicate temper has led to constant friction between the two sides, and noisy quarrels are commonplace. As for why she didn't fight, it was because every time Audrey had this thought, the spell automatically restrained her, putting her into a stuck.
Suddenly hearing that this beautiful woman actually asked for himself, Richard couldn't believe his ears.
Is this pie in the sky? Richard thought heavily.
"Okay, do you want to help?" Audrey looked at him in surprise at seeing "the sun coming out of the west", and said reluctantly, "I will keep in mind the things you helped me, and I owe you a favor, and I will definitely pay you back in the future." ”
"Hehe, don't say that, we are a family, why do we still talk two words?" Richard heard her softened tone, and saw her aggrieved expression, his heart was sweeter than eating honey, and he was also happy to show his generosity.
"If there's anything, you can say it directly. If I can do it directly, I will help you do it. ”
Richard smiled narrowly at Audrey, happily like a child stealing a watermelon from his neighbor's field.
"Whoever is a family with you is just inseparable from you for the time being. Audrey complained twice, but still made her own request seriously, "Can you give me a helmeted wolf? I lack a mount, just like them." Some time ago, I heard you say that you control them through spells, and I think they are quite suitable, and they don't need to be cultivated in addition. ”
She has always been arrogant, but her face is flushed at the moment.
Audrey didn't say a moment before she lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her coat like a little girl. She has never liked to ask for help, and she is not used to the low voice at this time.
"What should I be, isn't it a helmeted wolf?" Richard stared at Her Royal Highness in surprise when he heard this, "I want to say it bluntly, why are you so formal." ”
He also pointed to the bear on the side, "If you want to mount, the helmet wolf has wronged you, this guy is quite suitable, it is a giant bear with violent armor......"
Xiong Da, who was peeking at them on the side, snorted angrily when he heard this.
Yesterday, he also said that he would always be good to us in the future, and he sold us today, Master Xiong, we recognize you. Xiong Da looked at his master's spending in the face of beautiful women, and broke out the indignation of the poor peasants in the old era against the landlord's old wealth.
Audrey waved at Richard.
"Things are not what you think, helmeted wolves have the benefits of helmeted wolves, and what I like about them is their noses and special eyes. ”
She remembered something, and suddenly said to Richard in surprise, "Don't you still understand their value?"
"You say noses, they're pretty dexterous. But you say eyes, I don't know this yet. Richard stared at Audrey in amazement.
Faced with the question of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Richard said indifferently, "Aren't they just a few wolves?
He looked at him with contempt for the people in front of him, and his face was full of helplessness and pity for the "gluttonous heavenly things".
Audrey sighed and explained to him.
"These five helmeted wolves, their original form is the winter wolf of the Far North. This wolf species, known as the fierce of the Northland, bears the blood of a white dragon. Once the bloodline is revived, they can sense heat and cold like a white dragon. Combined with their excellent sense of smell and hearing, they can be far superior to other demonic beasts that can be tamed. She criticized Richard angrily, "Ordinary such a wolf is no longer worth under your divine map." Not to mention that they are also implanted with armor metal, and there are several more types of fire magic. ”
"It's worth a lot of money. Richard was a little unconvinced.
Because his three books don't record this, only the general origin of the winter wolf.
As soon as she said this, Audrey laughed directly.
"It's a secret, at least not a single book has recorded it. ”
"Then why are you laughing at me?" retorted Richard.
Her Royal Highness the Princess choked when she boarded.
Richard looked up at the outside of the room, and through the thin window, he suddenly remembered the origin of the five wolves, which seemed to be specially supplied to the royal family of Edo. Thinking about it like this, it suddenly felt that what Audrey said was not impossible.
Can you be poor with the things you have prepared for other princes and princesses? Richard nodded.
Immediately, he said to Audrey, "You people are so extravagant, that you can throw away any good thing like garbage if you have the slightest fault with it." The origin of those helmeted wolves, needless to say, was originally intended for you people with golden keys. ”
Richard remembered the identity of the princess in front of him.
"As for sensing heat and cold?" Richard wondered, if this could be the ability to feel infrared, like a rattlesnake cheek socket.
The dexterous sense of smell, coupled with that, is no wonder these guys are so valuable.
After studying the tactics of Roland's world, Richard immediately understood their value.
These helmeted wolves are the nemesis of assassins and thieves.
"That's the magnanimity of a royal family, and we're not poor, so we have to save everything. Audrey immediately retorted, "What is a little flawed, the royal family should enjoy the best things in the country." For defective products, leaving them alive is already considered to be the kindness of their makers. ”
"Hey, you agreed so easily just now, it doesn't seem to be generous, but you are short-sighted. Audrey stared at Richard warily, "Now, wouldn't you want to say yes?"
Xiong Da, who had ears pricked up on the side, pinched a handful of sweat at this time. Compared to Richard's mixed eating and drinking, it was a little worried about whether it would be able to live such an easy life if it really had to give itself out.
It's hard to be a bear. Xiong thought sadly.
"How is it possible, I'll take you to see it. ”
Richard got up from his chair and led Audrey towards the door, when he suddenly turned back and said, "I remember, Your Highness the Princess, you still have the Magic Eye, and you are a magic archer. Hehe, I see what you're up to. ”
was told by Richard that he was heartbroken, and Audrey was not easy to refute.
She followed Richard and said helplessly, "You are right, a mount that can see through other people's disguises is indeed an excellent helper. As far as I'm concerned, even if it's a dragon, I don't want to trade it for a helmet wolf. Even dragons can sense heat and cold, but their noses are not as sensitive as theirs. When two great senses are combined, the effect can be beyond the imagination of the average person. Not to mention, I have a third one. ”
After pushing open the gate, Richard ordered all the helmeted wolves patrolling the courtyard to gather, and let Xiong Daxiong Er wait on the side.
Five giant wolves came out of the coastal jungle, one every three meters at the moment, and the whole thing was lined up. They are large and as big as ordinary horses, uniform and pure white as snow, and their fur is as bright as silk. Each horse was also armed with light gray metal, wrapping its waist and belly and four paws, and it really smelled of a killing machine.
Before Richard could speak, Audrey suddenly remembered something.
"I remember, you seem to call this bear the bear two. She curiously pointed to the helmeted wolves in the row in front of her, turned back to Richard and asked, "Could it be that their names are also wolves, wolves, wolves, wolves, and wolves?"
"How could I be so uncreative?"
Richard proudly introduced Audrey, pointing first to the leftmost one, "It's called greens, then cucumbers, turnips, tomatoes, and garlic." I remember when I told Abel their names, they complimented me on being easy to understand, not at all like those who pretend to be coercive and take some 'black dragons' and 'white kings' all day long. ”
"That only means that you have the same bad taste. Audrey stared at Richard in amazement, she choked speechlessly. Looking at the five good-looking white wolves in front of her, she was very indignant about flowers and cow dung, "I feel that you are still called wolf one and wolf two." ”
"Hmph, that's why you princes and princesses are hypocritical, what's wrong with calling cabbage radish, it's close to life......"
Richard was about to defend his aesthetics, but Audrey interrupted him in time, "Okay, okay, you're right, okay? Now let's get down to business, you think they compare to me, and I can make a reference." ”
Richard heard this, and his face was strange.
He pointed to the second helmeted wolf named "Cucumber", "The cucumber is quite suitable for you, or the radish is fine, is it quite strong?"
"It's not a worm in your stomach, but I have a feeling you must be thinking about something dirty at the moment, you're laughing too fakely. I don't want either of these, so I'll choose it, greens. ”
"Hey, don't slander me......"
"Hehe, don't think I don't know, what kind of person you are!"
"It's all a misunderstanding!"
"No need to explain. ”
......
The two of them were chatting nonsense, but they didn't notice that the two people dressed as guards outside the courtyard were quietly watching them.
"Beck, is this the man the chief is going to capture?" The tall soldier looked at the man around him, his lips moving, and he didn't make a sound at all.
The shorter companion replied in the same way with lips.
"That's right, even in the portrait, this fierce boy is ninety percent similar. Coupled with what the guys from the Beto family provided, this kid was indeed a magical apprentice who defeated Yadif and saved those kids. ”
"It's amazing for a magic apprentice to do such a thing. There was an eerie smile on the tall soldier's face, and he licked his lips, "I wonder what his blood tastes like?"
"yes, I'd like to try it too. The short soldier also had a hideous face.
At this moment, their faces, which were obscured by their helmets, suddenly grew short and thick brown animal hair, and one mouth protruded forward, turning into a wolfdog-like snout.
But as they were about to walk by, Audrey stared at the two men in amazement.
She was able to peek into the magic power of others, and suddenly found that the elemental power on these two people was particularly strong, and they were not at all like ordinary soldiers.
