Chapter 124: The Game
Ye Guyun left, returned to Toon Town, and was alone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is, of course, because it is not beneficial to feel that it is useless to stay longer.
After the most difficult gray dwarf settlement was taken care of, the affairs in the hilly area actually entered the final stage.
Kobolds and goblins have certainly not been swept away, but while they are far superior in numbers to the Grey Dwarves, they are far inferior in individual qualities, and they are not well organized, appearing weak and loose, and are definitely the most popular enemies of the mercenaries who have been rounded up like wolves by the high bounties. The cleanup of them has been going on, and the process has been smooth, and now with the blessing of the new force (the mercenaries who originally cleared the gray dwarves have been freed up), they only need to continue to maintain, or in three or two days, it will be over.
The Grey Iron Fortress has been cleared, and while the scattered demons scattered around the corners have caused a lot of trouble for the cleaners, they still can't resist the power of the high bounty. Today, the fortress was empty, with nothing of value but non-runaway buildings and mines buried in the ground. Everywhere you go, it's just messy, dilapidated and ruined, the inevitable phenomenon of a series of disasters.
However, it is none other than Jimmy, the blacksmith, who has to deal with these phenomena now, the super chatter who can make people want to gag his mouth at any time.
Blacksmiths have big ambitions, too!
With a slight hint, the ambitious Jimmy accepted the hat of a mine supervisor given by Ye Guyun without hesitation, and then he couldn't wait to get on the selected stage - the Gray Iron Fortress, as long as he could take care of this place, the temporary management that had been placed in his hands would be completely transformed into the control power. Well, this is a promise from His Excellency the Chief Consultant, and it is a noble guarantee.
Power is a good thing.
Why Jimmy? Because there is no other suitable candidate around Ye Guyun. Besides, Jimmy was always a student of Derotan and Avis, a professional, a professional from a famous family, and the professional was better than the amateur. In addition, in the noise of these days, Ye Guyun could feel that this guy with mediocre forging skills and particularly verbose skills had at least shown a certain talent in the management of the mining area. So, give it a chance, and reluctantly make it difficult......
In any case, young people who strive to make progress are good young people who need support and encouragement. No, good "young man" Jimmy is already working hard to realize his dream at this time. His first task was to raise enough men to carry out a large-scale renovation and renovation of the Grey Iron Fortress.
The purpose of renovation is to restore its function, and the purpose of renovation is to make it suitable for the life and work of all races.
The Grey Iron Fortress will be the core of the entire mining area in the future, and naturally it is impossible for only the Grey Dwarves to continue to operate here, and most of the other races will not adapt to the environment in which the Grey Dwarves have always lived and lived. So, it has to be transformed, on a massive scale. It is conceivable that such a renovation project must be huge, after all, the current gray iron fortress does not even have the most basic lighting system.
"Do it well, do it slowly. This is Ye Guyun's gift to Jimmy at the time of parting. The latter, not knowing if he was greatly motivated by this, claimed that even if the terrible Northland winter came, he would still stay in the fortress, stick to his post, work hard, race against time, and work hard to catch up with the progress in order to finish the project ahead of schedule......
Hearing this, Advisor Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs up to express his appreciation.
Of course, the wise and generous Chief Advisor would never entertain such a dedicated and dedicated person with just a mouthful of cannons, so the Black and White Bear was left behind and assigned as Jimmy's assistants, and their task was to deal with any problems that might come their way—well, great!
However, the black and white bears did not agree, they insisted on it, this was just another punishment that Ye Guyun imposed on them! As soon as they thought that they would have to spend a long time with a super chatterbox, they felt that the sky was dark and their headaches were splitting. However, they still did not dare to refuse......
Finally, Catherine, the mysterious, powerful, and extremely beautiful woman, is also gone.
Inadvertently, it flew away.
For Ye Guyun, there is no doubt that he will still feel quite regretful, he doesn't even know the name of this woman who claims to be looking for trouble! Also, what is that face hidden under the mask of a black crow? Come to think of it, it must be extremely beautiful, right?
............
On the main road to Crescent City, two horses galloped side by side.
The appearance of the two horses was very ordinary, gray and short, and although all the legs were trying hard, they still did not run fast, let alone the gods, and they were some distance from being tall and strong. Of course, this is nothing, mounts, the most basic point is always to be able to run, and in fact, they are just puppet mounts summoned by mages with spells, and they are not glamorous.
The two men on horseback were wearing cloaks, and their heads were covered with hoods, and all parts were tightly covered, and they were completely invisible, but they only looked like they were dusty, and they didn't seem too mysterious.
There is no doubt that these two are Catherine and Sambi.
"Am I getting stupid, Catherine?" asked Tambi suddenly.
"Well, why do you feel this way?" thought Catherine wondered.
"Because, now I can't understand every move you make...... Sambi said bitterly, "for what we've been doing in the Grey Iron Fortress for the past two days—even though it's gone, I'm still baffled by it—why did we do it, and for what purpose?"
"Huh?" said Catherine, even more curiously, "didn't I tell you beforehand? ”
"Really?" said Sambi, with obvious suspicion in his tone, "Catherine, you're really not fooling me?"
"Please......"
"But when I think about it, I feel that your purpose is not so simple," Sambi wondered, "do you really have no other purpose?"
"Well, Sambi, stop going around in circles and tell you directly what your confusion is. Catherine said angrily.
"Then I asked?" said Sambi again.
"......" was speechless, full of black lines. Taking a deep breath and turning her face, Catherine stared at Sambi and threatened eeriely, "Young man, I find you enjoy pushing the limits of my patience!"
"No! don't dare!" Sambi waved his hand repeatedly, cold sweat flowed out at the thought of the punishment he might suffer, he had been taught many times before, he didn't want to have another time, "I said!
"Hmph, it's not good to learn, you have to learn verbose......" Catherine snorted coldly.
Sambi didn't dare to respond, so he had to cover his head and quickly ask his own question: "My confusion lies in the set of courses of action we have chosen. To be honest, it's hard to understand...... There are so many other ways to do it if it's just to get to the bottom of it! It could be simpler, more direct, and more productive! For example, design a scene where I can fight him or her – I don't think there's a better way to get to know the details of the other person than by fighting in person!"
"Yet..... "we have set up a game that is not very tight, well, I prefer to call it full of holes." Why is that? What's the point of it?"
"There's no why! Sambi, you're thinking too complicated! I'm sure you're going to make sure that this operation is really just to get to the bottom of it! There's nothing you don't know about. Catherine replied earnestly.
"......"
"The layout is casual, shallow, and full of loopholes?" Seeing Sambi nodding, Catherine smiled, with a little helplessness, "Sambi, you must know that this operation, from beginning to end, is not a conspiracy to kill people, but just a coincidence...... Practical joke. Colleagues who are doing business, by the way, do some pastime," pouting, she emphasized again, "just think of it as a game." ”
"Games?" "Sambi scratched his head, "you made me lurk in the altar of the gray dwarves, trying to pretend to be a ghost, and you yourself were out there to summon a large number of demons, all just playing games?"
"What? no?" Catherine sneered, "To make a game, you have to have the attitude of making a game, you don't have to be too logical, you don't have to be too restrained, you should put down your body, use your imagination, and play recklessly and in a different way! Anyway, the venue belongs to someone else's, and someone will help clean up if you cause a big trouble!hey~!"
Speaking of this, Catherine suddenly changed to a complaining tone, "Hey~! It's all to blame on that guy, it's weird and weird, and it's going to end the game at once...... I've got a couple of imaginative games that I haven't had time to move out of!"
"Catherine, you're more like a child than I am!" said Sambi angrily.
"There's nothing wrong with being like a child," Catherine said with a smirk as she looked at Sambi, "Adults tend to want to keep their innocence like a child, and only a child would mind being like a child." ”
"......" Sambi stopped arguing, turned his head, rolled his eyes, and silently cursed in his heart, "I don't know who can waste a legendary-level magic item for the sake of making a game...... Well, this level of willfulness is indeed not something that ordinary children are entitled to have......"
