Chapter 172: Robbers
The journey is already halfway through, and there is at most a day to go before the Elven King's Capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I have to say that Ioka is still very reliable, and the food and wine prepared in the car are enough to consume half a month. According to Matthew, Ioka did this entirely so that everyone wouldn't get tired of eating a thing, but Tatsuno Makoto felt that it was more like a preparation for distress.
Although it is unclear about the distribution of villages in the elven fantasy realm, Tatsuno Makoto can see that the route chosen by Ioka is deliberately avoiding the villages. After a few days of travel, let alone a village, I haven't even seen a living person.
However, Makoto Tatsuno enjoyed this kind of trip very much, especially after discovering that there was alcohol, Makoto Tatsuno was full of praise for this trip. Looking at the scenery along the way, chatting with a beautiful girl like Moon Shadow, and arguing with Matthew's little kid by the way, Makoto Tatsuno was in a very good mood.
"Ioca, the elves' talent for communicating with animals is so convenient, can I learn it?" Tatsuno asked Makoto with a smile as he took a sip of the wine bottle. Matthew glared at Makoto Tatsuno with disgust, this guy had been holding the bottle like an alcoholic since he found the wine in the car, and he really didn't understand why Moon Shadow would treat such a guy as family.
"This ability to communicate with animals is not something that every elf has, so it's hard to learn. Ioka's appearance was a little embarrassed, and what made him even more embarrassed was Makoto Tatsuno's attitude. Makoto Tatsuno, who originally had a cold face every day, seems to have changed after discovering that there is alcohol, and Ioka now misses Makoto Tatsuno who talked less before.
"Isn't this ability somewhat similar to the supernatural ones in the human race, by the way, there are supernatural people among the elves?" Makoto Tatsuno asked again after taking a sip of wine as if he had forgotten the question just now.
"There are no supernatural beings among elves, I seem to have seen an analysis of human supernatural beings in a book, if you are interested I can show you, but that book is written in elven language. Makoto Tatsuno's question once again made Ioka feel embarrassed.
"Teach me elven language, Sister Lunaris. Ioka relaxed a lot when she saw Makoto Tatsuno shift the target of the chat to Moon Shadow. He couldn't stand Makoto Tatsuno's endless questions, and the point was that he didn't know how to answer most of them.
"Yes, you're an elf, and you should learn the language of the elves. When I get to the royal capital, I will find a few books and teach you when I have time. Moon Shadow smiled and agreed, completely ignoring Ioca's surprised look.
Ioka suddenly said something to Moon Shadow in a strange language, and after glancing at Makoto Tatsuno, Ioka continued to speak in that language. But before Ioka could finish speaking, Moon Shadow's face had already sunk, "Ioca, I hope that the next time Makoto is here, you will still use the federal lingua franca. At least until Makoto learns Elvish, I don't want to communicate with me in Elvish in front of you in front of him. ”
"Sincerely, what Ioka meant just now is that the elves have a rule that they can't teach elven language to half-elves from outside. Moon Shadow glared at Ioka fiercely and continued, "The reason is very simple, they can use elven spells if they learn elven language, and they are afraid that foreign half-elves will do things that harm the elves. But I trust you, and I trust you not to do anything harmful to the elves. ”
Looking at Moon Shadow's serious expression, Makoto Tatsuno smiled and raised the wine bottle, "Cheers to your trust!" After speaking, he took a sip of it, looking unconcerned.
Just as Ioca's face was full of embarrassment, the unicorn suddenly hissed, and the carriage stopped after a violent tremor.
Aioka grabbed the thin sword at his waist and immediately rushed out, "Don't come out, I'll see what's going on in front of me." Hearing Ioka's words, Moon Shadow hurriedly took Matthew and Dale in her arms, and looked at Makoto Tatsuno with a pleading look.
Seeing that Moon Shadow actually asked Tatsuno Makoto for help, Matthew was unconvinced and wanted to break free of Moon Shadow's arm, "I'm going to help Big Brother Ioca! Moon Shadow heard Matthew's words, and her arms tightened, and a pale green curtain of light enveloped them.
Seeing this scene, Makoto Tatsuno opened the car door with a wine bottle, "I'll go and do some family responsibility." After speaking, he smiled at Moon Shadow, "Don't be so nervous, maybe nothing will happen." ”
Probably to prove that Makoto Tatsuno's guess was inaccurate, a roar suddenly came from outside, but Makoto Tatsuno couldn't understand what was said. Seeing Makoto Tatsuno's bewildered expression, Moon Shadow immediately explained, "He's shouting robbery." ”
Tatsuno Makoto nodded, walked outside the car and closed the door, leaned on the carriage and squinted at these robbers, and secretly sneered in his heart, "Robbery, robbery! I have never seen a robber who would choose such a deserted place to squat." Besides, for this kind of race, which doesn't even have money, the only person who can be robbed is the carriage, or the people in the carriage. ”
Glancing at Matthew, who was still struggling in the car, Makoto Tatsuno suddenly found that this little kid was still a little similar to himself, such as the physique of being born to cause trouble.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing Makoto Tatsuno come outside the carriage, Ioka asked anxiously and loudly. And those robbers all covered their faces in black scarves, dressed gorgeously, and carried swords and longbows in their hands, and they didn't make a move, but they kept saying something to Ioca.
Makoto Tatsuno shook the wine bottle in his hand, "I'm here to see the excitement, don't worry about me if you're busy." Faced with Tatsuno's answer, Ioka really didn't know how to respond. If Makoto Tatsuno said to help, he could still tell him to go back quickly and he didn't need to help, but everyone said that he was watching the excitement, and he couldn't say that he was not allowed to watch the excitement.
In desperation, Ioka had no choice but to turn his attention to several masked bandits, constantly talking to each other in elven language. Tatsuno Makoto almost laughed out loud when he saw this scene, "It's really a race and a custom! Is it true that the elven clan robbed by mouth? If it had been changed to himself, he would have attacked Ioka when he had just turned back, and after he contained Ioca, he would have to arrange for someone to directly attack the carriage, so as to ensure the success of the robbery." ”
This time, Tatsuno's assumption was very successful, and while Ioka and the masked bandit were arguing, several half-elves armed with swords and axes sprang out of the nearby woods again. This half-elf is not masked, and compared to Tatsuno City, except for the slightly pointed ears, it is basically the body shape of a human.
As soon as Ioka saw someone walking towards the carriage, he hurriedly turned around, but the masked robbers swung their swords and immediately entangled Ioca, and with the arrows flying towards him from time to time, Ioka couldn't come to the rescue for a while.
"Little Sister Moon Shadow, you escaped with a scroll last time, but you won't be able to run this time. The half-elf with the giant axe grinned and walked towards the carriage, ignoring Makoto Tatsuno on the side.
"It looks like Moon Shadow didn't lie to me, these are the guys who drugged Moon Shadow, and it looks like the last time it wasn't just Moon Shadow. Tatsuno Makoto glanced at the carriage, dodged to block a few half-elves, shook the wine bottle in his hand and asked, "I'm in a good mood today, I'm lazy, it's too late for you to hurry up." ”
The answer to Makoto Tatsuno was a long sword stabbed diagonally, Makoto Tatsuno slammed forward, appeared in front of the half-elf who drew the sword, the wine bottle in his hand suddenly smashed on his head, and then kicked him out with a raised leg.
"Since Moon Shadow treats me as a family member, then I'll do a little bit of my family responsibility. Throwing away the broken wine bottle in his hand, a sneer appeared on Tatsuno's face.
