Chapter 594: Request
It has to be said that the Duke of Kulenta deserves to be the supreme commander of the border fortress and knows very well what to do and when. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No, in just a few words, he successfully resolved the hostility of more than half of the adventurers in the hotel, and as for the rest, he also put away his vicious eyes, and continued to drink and eat when he should drink, although he did not forgive what he had done before, but the contradiction has tended to ease.
Lu Li swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his head and stared at the other party with slightly playful eyes, and after a long while, he lowered his voice and asked, "I said Duke, I'm afraid what you said just now was carefully prepared, right?"
"Hehe, you can see it. At this time, the fortress is in a special time, and I need the full help of the adventurers, especially you and your teammates. Duke Kulenta didn't hide it at all, and generously admitted it.
"Hmph, you are really a realistic person, when you encounter a crisis, you will lower your profile, and wait for the crisis to pass before continuing to suppress adventurers. Should I praise you for your political flexibility, or should I sarcastically mock your fickleness?" as he spoke, Lu Li took off his sunglasses, revealing his golden eyes that flowed like lava versions.
Ever since a part of Ferguera's Flame of Ambition had been completely integrated into his body, he had been trying to control it with all his might, trying to tame the force, and was now able to keep the flames from coming out casually and burning his clothes, but his eyes had never been able to return to normal.
Seeing those pupils that exuded endless majesty, Duke Kulenta instantly recalled the terrifying dragon, subconsciously shuddered, and then explained with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter what you think of me. After all, I am a nobleman of the kingdom, and I need to take into account the interests of the entire Northland nobles. The adventurers are too free and bold, so I have to suppress them, or I won't be able to quell them as easily as the guild would if there is a mess. ”
Lu Li took a small sip of water from the cup and nodded lightly: "Okay, I accept your argument, because although you have been suppressing adventurers, you have never crossed the bottom line. Now tell me, what do you want me to do with all this amount of gold you have brought here?"
He wouldn't believe that the other party would show favor for no reason, and he would not hesitate to give away so much gold.
You must know that because the domestic animals in the other world are far stronger than those on the earth, the volume of the board cart is also extraordinarily large, and the carrying capacity can reach several tons, so much gold, even for the border fortress where the trade is prosperous, at least ten or twenty years of tax revenue combined.
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be either a traitor or a thief, and you will have something to ask for under the heavy gift.
"It's easy! I asked the craftsmen who were clearing the collapsed walls, it would take at least a month or so to completely repair the fortifications, which meant that the fortress would have to face the onslaught of beasts directly during the Hunting Moon. In order to reduce the casualties of ordinary soldiers, I hope that you will continue to provide those powerful weapons and power-ups. ”
The Duke of Kulenta was undoubtedly very aware of the seriousness of the situation, so he did not go around in circles at all, and directly explained his intentions.
"Is that for this?" Lu Li continued to ask with a smile.
Duke Kulenta hesitated for a moment, then immediately gritted his teeth and replied, "I also want you to explain to the guild the dangers facing the border fortress! I'm sure you've heard that high-ranking Gordon Banshee claims to be the master of the Black Forest, and has a powerful legion under his command, so we need more and more powerful adventurers, preferably top powerhouses wearing gold badges, only they can deal with the massive invasion of the underground race." ”
There was no doubt that the duke was frightened by the appearance of the Gorgon, after all, the other party turned more than three thousand people into stone statues with just one look, and ordinary soldiers couldn't stop it at all.
Lu Li put down the cup in his hand and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, I will truthfully report to Elder Renard what happened today, as for that Goergong Banshee who spoke wildly, it is estimated that she will never appear in front of you again." ”
"Will you kill her again?" a trace of irrepressible ecstasy flashed in the Duke's eyes. "Great! If she dies, the threat to the fortress will be cut in half. ”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Lu Li stretched out his right index finger and shook it gently. "I didn't say I killed her. However, her current state is estimated to be not much worse than death. As for what happened, don't ask, and I won't tell you. ”
Obviously, Sheena is now in the hands of Saila, and the end will definitely not be much better, if it weren't for the need for her blood to break Alektu's immortal body, I'm afraid she would have been cramped and peeled into all kinds of magic items, which can be judged from the thousand-year-old Lori gouging out her eyes to make a petrified ring.
The duke thoughtfully touched the goatee on his chin and said, "Okay, then I won't ask." Now tell me, what is your answer to the previous conditions?"
"I agree, but with so much going on, I'm going to go back to Kempela early and leave the rest of the defense to them. As he spoke, Lu Li pointed to his teammates who were lying on the table and eating Haisai.
After a long and fierce battle, everyone was hungry enough, and the table was filled with large pieces of stew, barbecue, and fried meat, most of which had been cut from the carcasses of the animals they had killed, so they were unusually tender and delicious.
Meow Lori grabbed a juicy steak in one hand and gnawed it all over her mouth, her face was full of soup, and from time to time she stretched out her little pink tongue to lick it, which looked very cute.
"Damn, you're leaving? No, no, who's going to deal with any unexpected situation when you're gone?" Duke Kulenta immediately showed a nervous expression.
Lu Li spread his hands with an indifferent face: "Naturally, you will deal with it." I've left you a lot of weapons and ammo and so many adventurers to assist.
If you still can't hold the fortress like this, it only means that you are incompetent and have nothing to do with me.
Oh, and I'll give you another idea by the way.
Aren't there many places where the walls have collapsed?
You can organize your hands to build a mud wall out of hot water and clay, and then splash water from above.
At the current level of cold, a solid wall of ice would form in a maximum of an hour or two, and it would not be so easy for ordinary beasts to climb up at that time. ”
"Ice Wall?!" Duke Kulenta's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed excitedly, "God! This is a genius idea! How could I not have thought of it? Thank you! Thank you for solving another huge problem! From now on, you don't have to worry about the collapse of the wall, because we can forge the wall with clay and ice!" ”
"Haha! The ice wall is not my original, but the creation of an outstanding military strategist in my hometown more than 1,800 years ago......"
