Chapter 656: The Beginning of Bread and Salt
Although the general was skeptical, before he had the means to defeat Zhao Mai, Daryl had to obediently obey the order. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Mai gathered the two settlements together, took out all the stored grain, put them in a pile, and pointed with his hand: "Eat, eat openly." If you can't eat it or don't want to eat it, I'll go to deal with the centurion here in three days, and you will have to have the strength to shout and cheer. By the way, I never knew who he was, can anyone tell me?"
Daryl put his crossbow on his back, pulled a handful of grass from the ground, and crushed it and hugged it to his wound. Zhao Mai hooked his fingers at him, "Reach over."
The direct use of druid's spells will arouse suspicion, but a few words "Great Dark Lord, may your power bless all and heal the wounds of this brave man" will cover it up. Daryl looked over and over at his healed palm, and finally showed a look of admiration.
This shows that he is still thinking about how to knock Zhao Mai over......
"Whatever a fire raven does, I'll leave it to you. Zhao Mai said to Daryl: "Tomorrow you go and inform him, and say that I will challenge him, and let him be ready to give me the position of centurion within three days." ”
"Are you sure?" said Daryl, with a frown, "I know you're thick-skinned and hard-working, but are you afraid of fire?"
"I'm scared, so you ask him to prepare well, and it's best not to regret it. Zhao Mai said while plucking his ears.
Darryl nodded, and turned to leave. He pointed at the people in his original settlement, letting them eat more without reservation, and it seemed that he was very confident in Zhao Mai's combat effectiveness. As for the people in Zhao Mai's original settlement, they couldn't wait to let go of their bellies and eat.
Zhao Mai sat down and looked at the group of orcs who grabbed food with their big palms and stuffed it into their mouths, making the soup on their bodies. These were elves in the ancient past, and Zhao Mai assisted Mirko in slowly torturing them into this. Their ugly appearance may not matter, but their lifespan is greatly reduced. The elves of the world of Arda are immortal, and even if they die due to accidents, illness, or fighting, their souls will return to Valinor, where they will reorganize their bodies, and they will still be the original elves.
The life of the orcs has become short, compared to the original elves, they are like meteors in the sky, fleeting, but they have not become brilliant because of this*** Humans who live about twice as long as they are, because they are the creations of Iluvita, they are especially loved in this world, so they have created a splendid civilization, established a strong and rich city, and lived a basically rich life.
And the orcs have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.
Let's not talk about whether the statement that orcs are evil is true or false, and regardless of whether the plundering nature was originally carved into the bloodline of orcs or influenced by the dark demon kings of previous dynasties, Zhao Mai, as one of the creators of orcs, is naturally responsible. He sat down on the hillside and began to think seriously about how to do it and how to do it. In fact, he has a relationship with halflings, star elves, and orcs, and he must take care of them, and making them all good is the ultimate goal, and the basic goal is not to let them destroy each other.
Just as he was thinking, Daryl walked over with a roast leg of lamb and handed it to Zhao Mai. "Sit. Zhao Mai took the leg of mutton and put it on his knee first. He noticed that Daryl hadn't eaten yet, and seemed determined to wait for the other orcs to eat. So Zhao Mai pulled out a piece of bread from the psychic ability space, and vigorously rubbed the oil on the leg of mutton, which was also stained with coarse salt particles on it. He broke the bread in half, half of which he handed to the orc.
"I believe that having eaten bread and salt is a friend, and that if you have anything to do with your face, you will suffer great misfortune if you are framed from behind, and a terrible curse and a painful fate will surely come. Zhao Mai nibbled on bread and said to Daryl: "After eating him, you can go to work with peace of mind." ”
The orc looked at the food in his hand, and the aroma of fine wheat with sugar, eggs, and mutton fat went straight to his nose, but he still said, "After eating it, can't I think about how to defeat you?"
"Of course not, just use your brains. But if you want to deal with me, you have to say it to me, and I will do the same to you, this is the strictest and solemn oath. ”
"That's fine. The orc took a few bites of bread and ate it, and then said, "Now you can sleep in peace, I won't attack you." ”
Zhao Mai was choked. He wanted to reassure the orcs, and it seemed that Daryl understood the opposite. But all customs, conventions, and rules require a slow process of acceptance, and it's not too late to start cultivating them.
Half of the leg of mutton in his hand was bloodshot, obviously not roasted, but Zhao Mai still took a big bite directly. He threw the bones into the reserve as a snack, then put his hand on the back of his head and lay down on the hillside to sleep, and soon began to snore. The reserve grain was by his side, and it seemed that he understood what Zhao Mai meant, and he began to sleep while holding his bones. Daryl saw this from afar, and then looked down at his crossbow. Perhaps Tverdo was undefended at this time, and crossbow arrows could shoot through his brain and kill him with one blow, but the orcs had already eaten too much, and only when Tverdo defeated the Fire Raven and became a centurion to gain more power, he would be able to get food supplies.
So for everyone's sake, Daryl put aside the idea of sneak attack for the time being, and concentrated on repairing his crossbow bolts to meet the challenges ahead. Zhao Mai closed his eyes and saw all this telepathically. Although it wasn't because of the oath that "the one who shared the bread and salt was a friend" stopped the orc, at least the orc could think and have concerns, and he had a big picture and could take it with him.
It was impossible for Zhao Mai to stop at a centurion or even a thousand, so he needed some orcs to help him manage, even the most extensive management. This Daryl at least had the idea of feeding his men, and it was much better than some reckless orcs who only wanted to kill and kill. Reckless men are naturally needed, but that kind of orcs will not be lacking in Mordor.
Anyway, this is a parallel world, no matter how you play it, as long as you don't let people enter the Doomsday Volcano with the Ring, and don't let the Ring be destroyed. If he can gain the trust of the Demon King, or find a way to personally protect the Doomsday Volcano, Zhao Mai will have a great confidence in controlling the trend of this world.
As the only known location in the entire world that can destroy the One Ring, Mount Doom will surely be under Sauron's watchful eye. In the original "Lord of the Rings", if it weren't for Aragorn's small army to challenge the Black Gate in person, Zoro mistakenly thought that he had some secret weapon - such as the One Ring - so he looked away, and the "Protect (Destroy)" Ring team would not have been able to sneak into the Doom Volcano.
Try not to make mistakes tactically, and don't make mistakes strategically. Zhao Mai suddenly felt that although the environment was not eye-catching, it was actually a good thing for him to be on the orc's side, and he could affect the key point of Doom Volcano earlier. As for the One Ring, it has been in the hands of many for many years, but it is far less important than Mount Doom.
You have to take advantage of this. Zhao Mai pondered.
