Chapter 700: How to deal with my sister
"I know that you let me go, let me work for you, but why don't you let my sister go with you?" Zeratul pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "I can only complete the task more soberly when I am with my sister, which is more beneficial to you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Well, I don't need to be 'more' favorable, as long as it's favorable. "Zhao Maicai will not be easily convinced. "You come with me, don't say I'm sending you outside to die. ”
"What do you mean?" Zeratul was a little confused, but followed Zhao into his tower. Now Zhao Mai has two residences, one is in the underground fortress, and he sleeps in it every night, and by the way, he watches over Gollum. The other is the tower, which was lucky enough to survive the violent demolition of the ghouls and still stands in the settlement. As the tallest building here, if you can't control it, it means that the power is declining. The orc civilization is not very developed, but there are not many rules at all.
During the day, Zhao Mai spends most of his time in the tower, and after all, there is a fungus blanket neural network that extends underground, so he can know more clearly about the development below. However, Zeratu was not called here to see the fungus blanket, but to give him the weapon armor that Zhao Mai had just made.
Two elven swords with silver-white blades and hilts, one long and one short, are being used together. Although the style is elf, there are no gorgeous gemstones on it, except for the simple lines used for anti-slip, only a few words are written on the spine of the sword between the two handles.
"What is this? It looks like Quenya Elf, but I don't recognize it......?
It was Vera, the language of the gods of the world of Arda, whose simplified form evolved and was the precursor to the Quenya Elven language. Only the first Vera and Maia understood the language, and a handful of early elves learned the language. But it is not easy to recite and use this language, and the power contained in it is very mysterious.
In the past, Zhao Mai didn't understand the relationship between words and power, but now he is very clear. Language, writing, customs, and rules are all expressions of the will of the world, and in fact they are all a kind of spell. It's just that in different worlds, the power and expression of the will of the world triggered by the spell are different. A good poem can move people, a movement can resonate, and a sonorous and powerful word can make a nation forge ahead, which is certainly much more powerful and magical than "Avada Suo".
The Vera words engraved on the spine of the sword are "eternal change" and "endless", which is Zhao Mai's mercy and exhortation to the elves to go silent because of eternal life. "There's also a longbow, but there's no elven arrows, so you'll either use orcs or make your own. ”
It is a short bow in the style of an elf, still unadorned, except for the Vera word "do not waste". Zhao Mai casually threw an orc-style quiver, which contained thirty black orc arrows, which was too ugly compared to elven weapons.
"By the way, there is also an elf armor, with a cloak, you wear it out and it is absolutely eye-catching, it is estimated that you will be killed if you can't go far, what do you think?" Zhao Mai smiled with a slanted mouth, obviously ill-intentioned.
"I'm just pasting it with mud so that it doesn't look like it's elven armor, and it's better than staying with you!" Zeratul loved these weapons, each one of which was a masterpiece, light, sharp, strong, and handy. "Only an elven master can make such a divine weapon, and they will not be without a name in history. Where did you get that?"
"I picked it up. Zhao Mai said: "They definitely don't have any names, but they can't be said in the future." The prestige of the weapon is still set off by the combat deeds of the user. Look at my machete, though it's nowhere worse than that, it can be called the 'Dire Wolf and Ghoul Slayer's Blade." Alright, you're ready to go, I've told you everything I know. ”
"To the southwest of the Golos Plains, look for the collapsed Elven White Tower, I remember it all. Zeratu looked at Zhao Mai, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and then said, "If you are an orc, then you are a very strange orc. ”
"Oh my God, what are you going to do, give me a poem?" Zhao Mai snorted and regained his ferocious appearance: "Get out of the elf, remember that your sister is still in my hands! ”
"Got it. Zeratul took the elven breastplate from Zhao Mai's hand and looked at it with the words "Finding Light in the Darkness". Zeratul couldn't read Vera anyway, he just wanted the armor and weapons to work well.
After saying goodbye to his sister, Zeratul can embark on a journey to complete the mission of the Star Elves. Zhao Mai squinted his eyes and observed secretly, and found that the power of light entangled in Thrandis had weakened, transferred to Zeratul, and continued to strengthen. It seems that it is not only the path that people choose to take, but also the path that chooses people. The bare-handed Zeratu is certainly inferior to the heavily armed Zeratul, who is also clearly more attracted to the attention of the will of the world.
This is also very helpful in refining Zhao Mai's understanding of the will of the world, but it also means that Thrandis's life has become more fragile. So Zhao Mai arranged for her to take care of the grain reserves, and the people in the entire settlement knew that the Blackfoot Commander could not be messed with, followed by his dog, and then Daryl. Stockpiling food would not only actually increase Thrandis' status in the settlement, but would also greatly increase her security.
Now is the time to send Zeratul to the northern region of Mordor. With the completion of Sauron's first phase of his plan to attack Mordor, the orc warriors returned with much-needed food, livestock, slaves, and weapons for Mordor. Now, returning from the north to the south, they began to use these loot to increase the number and strength of the orcs. As a result, the northern part of Mordor is less tense, and there are more and more areas where it can be moved. Zoro needs time, and even more so a sufficient number of orcs to fill the void in Mordor, but before that time, he will be impulsive and try to fill the void in the world with his evil powers.
Therefore, it is now a process of migration from north to south, and many new settlements have emerged around Zhao Mai, especially in the east, which has been "cleaned" by the army of ghouls, and dozens of large and small orc gathering points have begun to see scale. Zhao Mai took the opportunity to provide them with the Legion's luncheon meat and bread, in exchange for grain and some livestock, and sometimes some old and weak slaves as foils. These old and weak people can't do the heavy work of other orcs, but they can work in Zhao Mai's "bread factory". It's also a way to live for them.
However, rumors soon spread that the Blackfoot tribe used the meat of slaves to make legion bread, which would weaken the orcs' fighting power after eating. This rumor is baseless and has no source. However, Zhao Mai knew very well where its source was.
The blessing of the will of the world in his body is constantly weakening, and he is only at the level of a centurion, which is the root of everything.
