Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cocoba's Happiness

"I saw you many years ago in the Cosmonya moor, do you remember me, an old man?" Megan's thin fingers trembled as she pointed at Cocoba, as if she could be blown to powder by a gust of wind at any moment. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The short Cocoba raised his head suddenly, a pair of disproportionate giant eyes stared at the old man, his fingers touched the saber on his waist little by little, and his two slightly twisted legs stepped on the ground, at this moment, he was like a wounded steppe wolf, ready to fight for his life with the lion tiger that hurt him. Of course he knew this old fellow, and from the moment he stepped into this military tent, he recognized this man who had made himself neither human nor beastly enemy, and he was ready to fight for his life. Liang Ke felt the murderous aura overflowing from Kekeba's body, and he also stared at the old man intently, ready to summon Sanduo to start another outlaw at any time.

Meghan didn't seem to see their reaction, and took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her dry eyes.

"When I went to an old friend's appointment, I didn't expect to meet you on the way, haha! Think about how bold you were at that time, so many people dared to go to the Great Wasteland of Komnia to trouble our orc warriors, you young man has such courage, and you can be called a 'brave man', so I didn't kill you, but only gave you a small lesson. Today, I am willing to give up my punishment for you for the young heroes around you, I wonder if you are willing to accept my kindness from the old man?"

Meghan's words were plain, but they were like a thunderbolt in Cocoba's ears, and like a rainbow after the rain. Over the years, he has almost always thought about being able to return to his original appearance, to be able to live a normal life, and not to continue to hide his ugliness under the disgusting and contemptuous eyes of others. But since he knew that he was a curse, a stunt that only an orc high priest could perform, he began to despair, and he began to slowly accept the fact that he would always be ugly. However, just now, the old guy actually rekindled all his hopes, but the price was only for him to nod, he instinctively wanted to nod, but he suddenly remembered Lord Aragon beside him, and he suddenly woke up to whether his decision would become a bargaining chip in the next negotiation, so he turned his head to look at Liang Ke.

"Kekeba, since Master Megan wants to spread the benevolence of the beast god, then why don't you thank Master Megan for his kindness?" Liang Ke read Kekeba's eyes, but in his opinion, the benefits of sending it to the door, does this still need to be weighed?

"Thank you...... Megan ...... The mercy of the priests. Cocoba received Liang Ke's acquiescence and quickly bowed his head humbly to Megan.

Master Megan nodded, reached out and took a strange curved staff from Frix's hand on the side, slowly closed his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and chanted a spell that seemed to be a song.

"Great beast god, your servant obeys your guidance, believes in your mercy, and in your name, by my hand, takes back the punishment of the offender. Its Biargus ...... Pur Shri Woo Kiska!"

A long spell was low and gloomy, and it took a full minute to finish chanting, and the spell was still lingering, and a pink mist suddenly erupted from Master Megan's staff, which seemed to be contained in a transparent bag, and quickly pounced on Cocoba's face, Cocoba seemed to smell a bad smell, and sneeze a few times uncontrollably, and those mist sprinkled on his body one after another, and finally disappeared.

When the fog cleared, people were surprised to find that the ugly-looking Cocoba was gone, and in its place was a tall and handsome middle-aged officer, whose clothes no longer fit, but still could not hide his heroism.

"My lord! I ...... Finally back!" Kekeba held back tears, tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, knelt on one knee, touched his head to his knee, and saluted Liang Ke, this deep salute not only represents incomparable respect, but also represents eternal surrender.

"Hahaha! It's not like a big man kneeling here, I really didn't expect you to look so good. Liang Ke reached out to pick up the excited Cokeba, comforted him slightly, and motioned for him to stand aside.

"Master Megan's curse is truly magical, and Aragorn has thanked Master Coco for his kindness. After speaking, Liang Ke stroked his chest and saluted slightly.

"When you're old, it's hard to get rid of the curse you put on you, and the future belongs to you young people. Colonel Aragorn, now let's get down to business!" High Priest Megan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and invited Liang Ke to sit down and speak.

"Your Excellency High Priest, entrusted by His Royal Highness Prince Conrad, the negotiator of the Gallent Empire, Colonel Aragorn of the Northern Army of the Gallent Empire, served as the liaison officer for the negotiations between the two countries. I have come this time to welcome you and the delegates of your country on behalf of His Royal Highness the Great Clare the Great and Prince Conrad, and to provide any assistance to you in accordance with your status as a host if you need anything during your stay in the Garente, and secondly, to bring a diplomatic note personally signed by His Majesty Claire, which His Excellency the High Priest has to look at, and to transmit to His Majesty the Rhine. ”

After Liang Ke finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Kekeba, who understood, took out an animal skin cylinder from the leather bag he carried, took two steps forward, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully handed it over. High Priest Megan beckoned gently, and a tall Storm Bear Knight walked over, stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the leather cylinder that was more than a foot long, and cautiously handed it over to Master Megan. Meghan took out the animal skin scroll inside, unfolded it and slowly browsed it, he didn't read it quickly, and there was no joy or anger between his eyebrows, and after reading it, he handed the scroll back to Prince Wolf, and then asked, "What about the other thing?"

Liang Ke knew the content of the note, which was all the stylized diplomatic rhetoric of the diplomats, which was nothing more than a denunciation of the fact that the orcs had blatantly violated the border of Gallente and killed the soldiers and civilians on the border, and then demanded that the other party stop the invasion, withdraw the troops, publicly apologize in the letter of the country, and compensate for the losses of the war. This credential is just a diplomatic procedure, if someone beats you, of course, you have to shout two pains, and then choose whether to resist or continue to endure according to your strength, and then you need to negotiate to fight for benefits. Liang Ke saw that High Priest Megan was not angered by the fiercely worded note, and the uneasiness in his heart was much lighter.

"Your Excellency High Priest, this is an official letter from His Royal Highness Prince Conrad to you, which mainly clarifies the specific time and place of the negotiations between the two sides, the content of the main negotiations, the personnel and security measures involved. ”

Megan took another leather roll handed by Cocoba, didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to the black-haired bear next to her, but this cute big guy took out a pair of round and small monocles from her arms and put them on her black nose, opened the official letter, took it seriously, and looked at them one by one. Liang Ke was stunned by this funny scene, and glanced at Kekeba, who was also puzzled, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. It was only later that he learned from Baier, who was also designated as a liaison officer, that this crude-looking guy was actually Matt Buist, the most relied on imperial finance minister of the Rhine the Great and the most shrewd orc known as the "Golden Scale".

Gallant's first conversation with the orc court was uneventful, and Liang Ke, with two letters of reply, crossed the stone bridge again and returned to Cape Rambet to return to Prince Conrad.

"These replies are decent and plausible, but why did this old fellow offer to come to Cape Rambet before the negotiations?" asked Foreign Secretary Wayne, pulling at his beard, which was about to fall off.

"Oh! High Priest Meghan says he has an old friend of his in this city. ”

Since Meghan lifted Cocoba's curse, he had a very good impression of the old man, and his words were quite respectful.

"Oh, can he still have friends here?" asked Vice-Chancellor Friedrich, puzzled.

"Hahaha! You wouldn't have thought that this high priest was actually a human. Liang Ke's words are not shocking, and he is endless.

"What?"

Conrad stood up from his chairs at the same time, asking questions in unison. Liang Ke looked at their surprised expressions, and was secretly proud in his heart. In fact, he was also startled when he saw the old man for the first time, which was as maddening as finding a group of rats worshipping a cat as a big brother.

"I'm also very strange, but High Priest Megan said, since you Aragorn can lead the orc bull warriors and trolls to stop the orc army, then what is the fuss about me as an orc priest?"

Commander Kan Delun also stood up at once, glared at Liang Ke and shouted, "Can this be compared? Let's take a few orc warriors and capture a few orc slaves, it's nothing." But you go to the Orc Empire to be a king, to be a leader! Those arrogant guys don't crush you to scum, and I, the commander, will let you do it. ”

Liang Ke was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, you give me and I don't have the kung fu to play with you.

"Don't get angry, Commander Kandelen, Colonel Aragon is just repeating Meghan's words. Prince Conrad comforted Liang Ke with his eyes and continued to ask, "Did Meghan tell me who that friend was?"

"That's not true, and it's not convenient for my subordinates to ask. ”

"I don't think there's any need to ask, when he comes, we will know who his friend is. It's just that this High Priest of Megan is extremely dangerous, and it is a question of whether or not to allow him to enter the city. Wayne said worriedly.

Kan Delun waved his hand. "Let him come, if we don't allow it, they think we're scared of the old fellow. I don't believe he could rob York by himself. ”

Fergil frowned and said in a low voice: "Be cautious, General Kandrun don't forget, not long ago, Colonel Aragon once achieved such a feat. ”

"That's different, if he can succeed, that's also taking advantage of the sneak attack. We are heavily guarded, are we still afraid that he will be an old man who can't walk steadily?" Kan Delun glanced at Liang Ke.

Prince Conrad hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I think General Kandron is right, if we don't even dare to accept such a request from a dying old man, it will inevitably seem that the Gallent Empire is afraid of them. Colonel Aragon, you go and reply to Meghan, saying that the gates of Cape Rambet are open for her at any time, but the attachΓ© cannot exceed ten people, and the time is not more than one day. In addition, during Meghan's stay at Cape Rambet, you will accompany him throughout the whole process, pay attention to the people he comes into contact with and what he does, and take extraordinary measures in case of emergency. ”

"Yes!"
