Chapter 698: Puzzles
Pushing away the stenching corpse of the ghoul, Zhao Mai's orcs "saw the light of day again", and they were greeted by more than 300 heavily armed orcs. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Haha, the little devil who digs a hole in the ground, what an unexpected gain! From today onwards you will accept my protection and rule! I am the Maga Ghoul Butcher!"
It was a walking tin can, covered from head to toe with heavy armor, with only gaps in the joints and near the nose and eye. The guy had a huge iron axe in his hand, and he could easily split it with men and horses. On the battlefield against Gondor, Maga made a lot of contributions with his great strength and equipment, and became the new commander of the thousand.
The orcs who came out of the underground fortress were certainly no better than the ghoul butcher's men. Zhao Mai was busy planting grain and cultivating the fungus blanket network, and he had not yet put smelting on the agenda. Then again, even if he were to build a steel weapon, who would use it? It would take at least a year for a young orc to become a qualified warrior.
"Fool who is not ashamed, this is my territory!" Zhao Mai walked straight towards Ma Ga, bare hands, but the momentum did not fall behind at all. "I'm Tverdo Mordor Blackfoot. You're still called a ghoul butcher, just these ghouls you kill out there? joke!"
"Look, where did the bare chicken come from, so disobedient!" Ma Kar pushed away the guards, strode forward, and stood in front of Zhao Mai. The huge body and black iron frame are like a wall of pestles. "You want to fight me? I'll give you a punch, can you break my armor?"
"This is the first time I've seen such a request. After Zhao Mai finished speaking, the orcs under his command were already laughing. Only a "snap" sound was heard, and Zhao Mai had already pierced through the chest of the Maga Ghoul Butcher, and the flesh mixed with the iron armor fragments was washed by the blood and filled the armor, and then overflowed through the cracks.
Maga fell to his knees, then collapsed and died. Zhao Mai stepped over his corpse, and then found that the dark will in his body had not strengthened—it was about the same as he had expected. Imprisoning Gollum is not the will of this world, so the "care" that Zhao Mai gets should be weaker and weaker. This time the ghoul was not able to kill him, and the subsequent orcs were also the same, so the will of the world should want to kill him even more. Because of this, not only did the dark power not increase, but even weakened slightly, which can be said to be in the past.
For Zhao Mai, the weakening of the dark will is a good thing, but blessings and disasters have always depended on each other. After Maga was killed by Zhao Mai, his subordinates did not surrender. Four centurions rushed out, crossbows, swords, axes, and meteor hammers, and attacked Zhao Mai together.
"You four don't seem to want to follow the rules anymore?" Zhao Mai grabbed the crossbow bolt with his hand, threw it back directly, and shot it into the crossbowman's eyebrows. He then killed the other three centurions with their own weapons, and was finally able to intimidate the people. "I'm Tverdo, the blackfoot of Mordor! From now on, you'll all be under my control!"
The orcs looked at each other and cheered insincerely, celebrating their new leader. Then, they ran away more than half of them in the evening. Compared to Blackfoot, who had remained in the south without combat exploits, they preferred to choose those orc generals who also returned from the north.
The idea in the heart of the orc was very simple: "If you are really powerful, why don't you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, why don't you twist off the heads of humans and elves?" But Zhao Mai knew very well the deep-seated reason, that is, the world will on his body was not strong enough, and he could not reach the level of having so many subordinates.
"It would be nice to have half of it left. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua. "No matter how many orcs there are, they will eventually be affected by Sauron, so I still have to rely on the Z worm and my own strength. ”
"And me and the food reserves, you can't ignore this!" Xiaohua floated in the air and followed Zhao Mai, who was invisible in the eyes of the orcs. Being very sensitive to the energy around her, Xiaohua was able to spot if there was a prying gaze faster than Zhao Mai. "In that case, Gollum is still very useful, why don't you take advantage of this time to solve the trouble of the goblin and reduce one more competitor?"
"How do you say that?" Zhao Mai said, "I can see the flow of the dark will, so I know more than you. While it was true that the dark power didn't increase when I killed Gollum, I had a feeling that once Gollum was out of my control, the power would still come to me. It's not that the time has not come? Maybe it would be better to explain it this way. ”
"This world will is really troublesome, if only there was a way to get rid of it. ”
"I'm thinking about that too. Zhao Mai took Xiaohua back to his residence in the underground fortress, but he didn't expect Gollum to suddenly hit the iron fence and kneel on the ground and shouted: "Ah! Great King of Light......
"Who?" Zhao Mai looked left and right, and found that Gollum's gaze was on Xiaohua. Xiaohua was also very puzzled, fluttering back and forth to change her position, and Gollum could keep staring at her. "Can you see me?"
"Of course, of course, the great Lord of Light, we see and hear clearly!" Gollum looked very excited: "We found you, we found you! We swear to serve you, in the name of the baby!"
The little flower is a little inexplicable. She looked at Zhao Mai, and then dissolved her figure with a snap. Gollum's eyes widened, and then he gritted his teeth at Zhao Mai: "Stinky orcs!Bad orcs!Where did the King of Light go!What did you do to the King of Light?!"
Zhao Mai moved the chair and put it in front of the fence, not caring at all about the saliva and constant waving that couldn't reach his arm at all. "Tell me about the Lord of Light, and I'll help you find him. ”
"Liar, don't want to know our secrets!"
"Look, I never beat you or persecuted you when I gave you something to eat. What did you do to me, yelling while I was sleeping, making the house smelly, you did that, right?"
"You're holding us up! You're a bad orc!"
"Well, what you said makes sense, let's settle this point. The corners of Zhao Mai's mouth curled, and he said to Gollum with a weird smile: "That's it, let's make a game, guess riddles, answer questions, and see which of the two of us is smart." If one party answers correctly and the other party answers incorrectly, then the person who answers the wrong answer must answer the question of the person who answered correctly, and is not allowed to lie, how about it?"
Gollum looked at Zhao Mai suspiciously, and always felt that there was a ghost in it. But orcs have never been smart, so what if they have ghosts? Besides, isn't it just guessing riddles and answering questions, what's so scary?
"Then we will speak first!" said Gollum, "what has feet, but no one knows, that is taller than a tree, that rises straight into the sky, but never grows taller?"
"Alpine. Zhao Mai added: "This answer is correct without taking into account geological changes. Okay, it's time for you to listen to my question: you have a friend who was half your age when you were six years old. How old will he be when you're 400?"
"200? No, it won't be that simple, you ...... You can't fool us, are you......" Gollum thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "397!"
"No, he died a long time ago. Zhao Mai said: "It's time for you to answer my questions, and you are not allowed to lie." ”
