Chapter 35: Blood Like Wine
In fact, Ling Chen still had a lot of things to care about, including the prophecy that the divine officer had told him not long ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the general meaning of info has been understood, there are many small details that Ling Chen cares about, such as the monsters from the abyss, the fission earth, the chaotic four seasons, and places that even the gods have never seen.
These days, according to Lu Fei's explanation, Ling Chen also has a better understanding of the divine service, this old elf living in the empty hall is definitely the oldest creature in the world, it is said that he once saw Vic's posture with his own eyes, after the outbreak of the Hundred Years War, this divine service has traveled all over the continent, and the elves hidden in various places to exchange calls, and finally contributed to the establishment of the Vic Sanctuary. If even this old man has never seen a place, Ling Chen doesn't think that it will be on this continent, then where will it be if it is not on this continent? For this reason, Ling Chen has studied the map very seriously, to the west of this Deka continent is the sea of black summoners, according to the known information, it is an endless sea, as if there is no end, and there are terrifying creatures similar to poisonous dragon frogs living in the ocean. Continent...... Probably not, and even if there were, it would be too far away to interfere. So Ling Chen locked his eyes on the east side of the continent, although like the west, there was also an endless sea, but it did not have as many terrifying rumors as the Black Summoner Sea.
The ocean to the east of the continent was named Royoti. In the Elven language, Royoti is meant to be loyal, which means that this sea will not abandon the betrayal of the voyager, there are no terrifying beasts, there are no monstrous waves, everything is in the hands of the navigators, everything changes according to the predictions of the navigators, but the exploration of Royoti is not comprehensive, the Hundred Years War has progressed to the most fierce moment, affecting all regions of the continent, almost all races have been affected, in desperation, they can only stop the exploration of the sea, and devote themselves to the battle to defend their own safety, so the navigation charts collected by Ling Chen do not know much about this big thing, the only thing that caught Ling Chen's attention was that in the sea all the way to the east, he could see a few small islands, and that's it. But this is enough, Ling Chen has a strong premonition, the world predicted by the gods must be hidden in the east of these small islands, perhaps, those abyss monsters in the prophecy also come from this unknown world! Originally, Ling Chen also considered whether he would think too simply, after the end of the Hundred Years War, such a long time has passed, and he still has not heard of the discovery of any new continent, and after coming to the Oak Kingdom, Ling Chen found that the civilization of this country is far more backward than he imagined, and after the Hundred Years War, he basically did not take advantage of the peaceful time to develop like Vic Sanctuary and Resnot, and the exploration of the map also stopped, that is to say, it was not that he did not find it, but he did not discover it at all. Involuntarily biting his fingernails, he looked at the tent behind him, because at this moment the curtain of the tent was opened, and the fox man named Sasha walked out.
The corners of his mouth turned slightly, and his eyes turned to Lu Feier, who was a little confused on the side: "Do you want to go in with me, or wait for me outside?"
"I'll go in with you!" Lu Fei's eyes were a little cloudy, as if his faith was shaking, Ling Chen didn't say anything, nodded, and then turned around and walked towards the tent.
Obviously, the attitude of the wolf king this time was more polite than before, Ling Chen looked at the table in front of him, the saber he had just put on it was gone, I am afraid it was put away by this warlike warrior, right?
"Human warrior, since you are a straightforward person, then I will also be straightforward. The wolf king said: "Now our dog clan, cat clan and herdsman clan should be evenly matched in terms of strength, no one has obvious advantages, no one has obvious disadvantages, and it is precisely because of this that the Oak Kingdom can exist in the current state of alliance." Just like a triangle, if either side becomes stronger, the other two sides will unite and bring the situation back to a state of parity. ”
Ling Chen glanced at the silent chief of staff Sasha on the side, he didn't think that a belligerent wolf king would say such a thing, it must have been Sasha who taught him. Ling Chen nodded: "I also know this truth." ”
"With the current strength of the canine clan, even with the support of Resnot, I don't think it can be the opponent of the cat clan and the herdsman, and you Resnott are too far away from us, if you really start a war, can you come to support in time?"
"So, Patriarch, are you unwilling to cooperate with His Highness Ling Chen?"
"No!" the wolf king shook his head, "I just took a closer look at the saber you offered, it is very sharp and hard, far more powerful than our weapons. ”
"Patriarch!" Sasha whispered from behind, apparently the Wolf King hadn't said what she had hoped.
The Wolf King glared back at Sasha, then turned back to Ling Chen and said, "Human warriors, don't mind, just now my chief of staff didn't want me to show that I needed your Highness's help. ”
Ling Chen smiled slightly, laughing wildly in his heart: "It's understandable." Since the patriarch has said it so directly, then I should also be more direct, our Highness just hopes to get the support of the patriarch, and when necessary, we hope that the patriarch can provide human support to His Highness. As for the long-term cooperation with the nobles in the future, it is not too late to discuss it after the royal election is over. ”
"I'm willing to cooperate with your Highness, but I hope this matter is best not to be known to too many people, especially the people of the herdsmen and the cat clan!"
"This is what our Highness wants. Ling Chen said: "Your Highness doesn't want the matter of uniting with the nobles to be known by other irrelevant people, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble for Your Highness." ”
The Wolf King smiled heartily: "In that case, then I don't have any problem, what kind of people do you need?" I can let you take it away immediately!"
Ling Chen raised his hand: "Patriarch, don't worry, when the time comes, His Highness will definitely inform the patriarch, I hope that when the time comes, the patriarch will not shirk." ”
The wolf king stood up, and Ling Chen saw that he had given him a sword, which had been placed on his waist, although this was originally a long sword, but judging from the size of the wolf king, I am afraid that it would be used as a dagger or short sword, the wolf king pulled out the scabbard and spent a knife in the palm of his hand, and the blood dripped into the wine glass on the table, staining the originally clear wine juice red, and then pushed a glass of sake in front of Ling Chen:" This is our tradition, drinking blood from each other is considered to be a contract, if the contract is broken, its blood will turn into flames and burn it to the ground!" he said as he wiped the blood off the long sword and put the long sword in front of Ling Chen.
Ling Chen looked at the wine glass and long sword in front of him, and naturally knew what this wolf king wanted to do, but couldn't they use a little more civilized way? Isn't it okay to write a note and prove it well? Isn't that safer? Looking at the wolf king's undoubted eyes, Ling Chen sighed silently in his heart, picked up the long sword, and swiped it in the palm of his hand, and blood dripped into the wine glass.
The wolf king nodded with satisfaction, picked up Ling Chen's blood wine and drank it all, although Ling Chen was helpless, he also imitated the wolf king's appearance, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, this wine is the most unpleasant drink Ling Chen has ever drunk, there is bitter and spicy, and the key is that there is a rich blood.
"Very well, human warriors, so that we can make a contract. ”
"I will write to Your Highness immediately, and it should not be long before a craftsman will come here to teach you your skills. ”
The Wolf King nodded, "Sasha, go and have someone prepare a first-class banquet to entertain this human warrior and this elven mage." ”
"No, Patriarch. Ling Chen raised his hand and said: "In the name of His Highness, I still have something to do, since the contract has been signed, please let the patriarch let me leave first!"
"In that case, then I won't keep you. After the wolf king finished speaking, Sasha, the chief of staff behind him, suddenly spoke: "Mr. Lei Ling, may I ask, do you want to go back to Rennote next?"
To the east of the canines is the territory of the herdsmen, and if you tell them that you are going east next, it will arouse their suspicions, right? Thinking about Ling Chen, he said, "I'm going to ......"
"Huh, what?" Seeing Ling Chen suddenly stop, the Wolf King asked with some curiosity.
"I'm going to the east. ”
"East?" the wolf king's brows furrowed slightly, "Isn't the east a place for herdsmen?"
"Mr. Lei Ling, your Highness Ling Chen probably doesn't plan to establish a good alliance with each of our races, right?" Sasha asked vigilantly.
Ling Chen hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, patriarch, you have misunderstood, Your Highness is just very curious about what will be in the east of the mainland, so I was ordered to explore." Although there are herders in the east, I am just a path. ”
"Is the gentleman going to sea?" Sasha asked.
Ling Chen nodded: "Is there any problem?"
"Looking at the gentleman, he shouldn't be able to pass through water, right? And he hasn't been to the sea before, right?"
"Indeed!"
"That's not going to work!" said Sasha, "since you and the patriarch have exchanged blood wine, and you are already our most important guest, if anything goes wrong at sea, please wait a moment, sir, and I will arrange for you a seaworthy escort at once." ”
That's really good: "No need, no need to bother the nobles." ”
"Sasha is right! It would be a shame for a warrior like you to be killed by the sea! Sasha got up and walked out of the tent.
"That's really ......" Ling Chen sighed: "I can only be respectful, it is better to obey my fate." ”
