Chapter 22: Zazana, the Desert Dwarf
At the temporary office of the mercenary union, Mira reasoned with the facts, and finally slapped the table and asked the old man in charge to pay five gold coins for the task. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Some mercenaries who came and went looked at the farce here with a grin, and the old man in charge was annoyed and angry, and did not give Mira a a chance to choose, and directly gave him a task to check the outpost.
Check the outpost: There is a small outpost about fifty miles north of Kermir, which has not been heard from in days, and someone needs to check on it. Reward: Fourteen gold. Hint: If it's already overrun by sand pirates, the only thing you have to do is jump out of their encirclement and run back to deliver the message.
"It's a trap. The little sparrow called out honestly and unceremoniously: "Why are the other regiments all assisting in defense and ambush, and we are going to do such a dangerous mission? Let's go home and not take their mission." “
Mira smiled bitterly: "Let's go? How can we go? We were originally arrested, do you think that city lord will let us go so easily? Also, the way back from here is not close, all the food along the way has been confiscated, do you think we can walk home safely?"
The little sparrow was speechless, Mira clapped her hands and said: "Let's discuss how to do this mission, I think, this is a reconnaissance mission, run fast with fast legs, you can touch the outpost alone to take a look, and the rest of us will cover you behind." ”
"Why?" shouted loudly, "This is a team mission, why did you let me go on an adventure alone, and I also said that it was very likely that it had been occupied by sand pirates, and I didn't fight dogs with meat buns in the past?"
"Tut-tut," the foodie bar clicked a few times: "I haven't eaten meat buns for a long time, and I really miss it a little bit when I think about it." ”
Mira sank her face: "Aren't you a thief? Don't thieves have skills like stealth and concealment?
"Please, I'm just a junior thief, okay, don't think of me as a thief. I can learn that kind of advanced skill of concealment, but I have learned stealth, but I can only dive a few meters, and it is useless. ”
On the wild barren hills, a few people sneakily lie on the top of the slope and look down. The foodie sat down the slope behind him and watched over the horses that Mila had borrowed from Conzes, looking unhappy. He could not have come to such a task, but the quick leg team task encircled everyone, and he was naturally not immune.
And the initiator who caused the foodie to be unhappy was proudly pointing ahead: "Commander, I'll just say that this task is definitely not that simple, you see so many desert dwarves in this camp, even the thief god can't sneak through." ”
Mira nodded solemnly: "Sure enough, it's a bit much, but with such a small size, it shouldn't be very powerful." ”
"Don't be careless," One-Eye began, "These desert dwarves are not as skilled in mining and forging as their fellow hill dwarves, but they have greater strength and stronger bodies. I've heard of a desert dwarf in the Dark Colosseum who once cut a ground bear in half with an axe. ”
"Wow, that's amazing, it's still far from the outpost, there are so many desert dwarves, I think that most of that outpost has fallen into the hands of the enemy, we might as well go back and hand in the mission." ”
Kuaileg immediately smiled with dazzling eyes: "Commander, I've known you for so long, and I only found out that you are such a wise person today, let's run, it will be terrible if they find out." ”
"No," the little sparrow hurriedly grabbed the fast leg that turned around to run: "Just go and hand in the task, what if people don't believe us, we don't even see the shadow of the outpost." ”
The quick-legged monster shouted, "Desert dwarves, you know by the name that they live in the desert, and they must have something to do with the sand pirates." Now that they are all active in this area, that outpost must be more than auspicious, and if you want to go, I will not accompany you to die. ”
Everyone was silent, and Night Feather was still in a daze, and after a while, Mira clapped her palms and said, "Yes, we can go and catch a desert dwarf and come back and torture it." If the outpost is not lost, we will continue to explore the front, and if the outpost is lost, we can take the prisoner back and hand it over. ”
Smelling a burst of aroma in a daze, Mira immediately woke up from her sleep. The stars in the sky, the night breeze on the ground, the world is like a phantom, this life is just a dream, Mira is full of poetry for a while, quite a little bit of looking up at the eyes of the fierce meaning.
He suddenly remembered something, and when he turned his head, he saw the foodie fiddling with his barbecue grill, a few strings of fat and thin fresh meat sizzling through the charcoal fire, and the seductive hand of various spices instantly hooked Mira's gluttony. He leaned over with great interest, grabbed a bunch and put it in his mouth, but immediately cried out, "Hiss, hot." ”
"You deserve it," the foodie said unceremoniously, "Who told you to be so greedy, these things were not prepared for you in the first place, they were reserved for them." ”
"Who are they?" Mira looked around, "Hey, what about the others?
The foodie carefully sprinkled a handful of pepper: "Didn't you say you wanted to catch a live mouth? ”
"What? You didn't call me? When did they go?"
"You, what are you going to do? You, like me, can't fight or run, you can only become a burden to them. ”
Mira was furious, no matter how he said it, he was born and died several times, is it just like a foodie in the minds of others, he bit the meat skewer fiercely, silently thinking about how to teach them a lesson and establish the prestige of the regiment leader.
When Mira ate the eighth skewer, he touched his round belly and suddenly felt that he didn't hate them anymore, and he shouted at the foodie: "Don't bake it, don't bake it, I can't eat it anymore." ”
The foodie ignored him: "It wasn't baked for you, they didn't even eat dinner and went out, it's like you slept until midnight, and you were embarrassed to rob them of supper." ”
Mira sighed: "Actually, you have always underestimated me, and this is also to blame me for being too low-key, can I summon thousands of troops and horses and tell people everywhere? Alas, don't mention it, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." ”
The foodie hurriedly stopped him: "Stop, stop, I'm not a straw boat, don't shoot at me, I seem to hear footsteps, you go and see if they are back." ”
Before Mira got up, a few shadows came out of the darkness, and the fast legs running in front of her lay down on the ground very unfiguratively and said: "Oh, I'm tired, hey, the foodie is making a barbecue, it's so fragrant." ”
The foodie smiled and asked, "How's it going?"
The big guy walked behind with a hemp bag, bulging inside the sack and still writhing. One-eyed put the big sword he was carrying into the sheath and said: "The camp is heavily guarded, and we haven't been able to touch it after waiting for a long time, but fortunately, this guy ran out of the camp alone and went far away, and we just happened to put him down." ”
Ye Yu said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's withdraw quickly." ”
"Wait," said Mira, stopping him, "We're here to check the outpost, can you guarantee that the dwarf we caught will know what's going on in the outpost?" ”
Seeing their embarrassed looks, Mira was secretly refreshed, hum, let you not take me there, I will say that you are not qualified. I can't fall asleep this time, so I'm going to go with me and catch a captive and come back to have fun.
Opening the sack, a dwarf with angry eyes came out, and under his mouth, which was tightly stuffed with rags, his thick beard was dignified, his face was full of flesh, and his whole body was protruding, and he looked like a powerful man.
Mira first moved the muscles on her face for a long time, trying to make a fierce appearance, until she was sure that she had improved enough aura, then she tore off the rags in the dwarf's mouth and asked viciously, "Little man, I ask you ......." ”
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? You must all be bad people. Help, help. As soon as he was out of control, the captives cried out loudly. It was already a long way from the camp, so Mira and the others were not afraid of being spotted by the dwarves, and what made them collectively stunned was that the voice was soft and soft, and it seemed to have a kind of lazy and powerless connotation.
Mirateng jumped back, pointed at the dwarf and smiled: "Haha, you see this dwarf actually learning to speak with women." ”
The dwarf's eyes widened: "Humans are so rude, will you be happy if I call you Gaozi? ”
It took a long time for Mira to figure out that the dwarven women were about the same size as the men, had a big beard, and loved to drink ale. The dwarven captive Zazana, a little girl of human age, was taken out by her father, the patriarch of the Stormhammer tribe, to learn how to march and fight.
When asked why he went out of the camp alone, the dwarf actually had a rare look of shame: "People are girls, there are many things that are inconvenient, I originally wanted to run away safer, who knew that it was more dangerous, and I was caught by the bad guys." ”
Mira was so excited by the shy and timid expression of a bearded man that she almost vomited blood, and finally regained her senses, and was about to continue the interrogation, but Zazana wrinkled her nose and said, "What is so fragrant?
The foodie immediately handed over a skewer: "Eat, eat, it's pitiful at a young age." Zazana's hands and feet were tied, so she took a bite of the foodie's hand and praised: "It's so delicious, if you can drink another sip of ale, it's a god-like enjoyment."
Mira was so angry that her nose was crooked, what kind of mess was she making trouble? Didn't you see that people were interrogating the captives? Is there any organizational discipline anymore? Even if there is really a flood of love, can't I wait until I finish asking?" He suddenly thought of a question: "You said that you are the daughter of a patriarch, and if you disappear, the people will definitely look for you everywhere." ”
Zazana nodded very seriously, and just as she was about to speak, there was already a sound of scolding and killing in the distance, and then she saw a long dragon formed by several torches chasing quickly, Zazana laughed and said: "This time it came so fast, much faster than last time." ”
