Chapter 14: Ways to Fish in Troubled Waters
Lance hurriedly picked up the armor and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and put on the armor, I'll help you put the armor on first! This chain mail is relatively light, you girls wear this, and I will wear this half-body plate armor here." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh?" As soon as Lance's words came out, Veronica, who had a serious face, was a little flustered. The act of putting on armor is a little too intimate.
But Veronica saw that Lance had already stood up, picked up the rest of the armor and waited for her.
Veronica wanted to say that it would be nice to wear it alone. But Veronica also knew that there was no way for a person to wear these armors. So Veronica had no choice but to agree with a red face.
After seeing Veronica put on her chain mail, Lance began to tie Veronica's shoulder armor, leg guards, and elbow pads. And so much physical contact made Veronica's face as red as an apple at this time.
Since Lance's left arm couldn't move violently, he wore it a little slowly, but fortunately, the only parts of the chain mail that had to be worn were shoulder armor and elbow pads, and the rest was put on by himself at Veronica's insistence.
After putting on the leather helmet, the white dragon princess Loxani was amazed by Veronica's transformation in front of her: "Wow, Sister Veronica is even more beautiful in this armor." It's really beautiful, and everything looks good. ”
Lance also looked at Veronica with satisfaction and said, "Yes, a heroic female general. Okay, you can help me put it on. ”
"Don't say that, I'm average-looking...... Veronica bowed her head shyly in praise.
Then Lance began to wear the half-body plate armor of the 'Dark Sword Demon'. When Veronica was about to put on the shoulder armor for Lance, she asked a little worriedly, "You better not wear such a heavy shoulder armor, your shoulders are ......"
Lance said: "It's okay, my shoulder is fine. If we don't wear it all, we won't be able to show the momentum of the armor, and we won't be able to hide our figures, which will not be conducive to our actions later. Hurry up, time is running out. ”
So Veronica began to quickly and skillfully dress Lance with half-body plate armor and other parts, Veronica was like a worker assembling things, every step was fast and steady. Within a few minutes, he had already helped Lance put on this set of plate armor, and Lance, who wore this half-body black plate armor, also made Veronica's eyes shine, although Lance was young, but under the backdrop of this domineering half-body plate armor, he was heroic, as if he was a heroic knight in a legendary story. This made Veronica not dare to stare at Lance in front of her, but tilted her head slightly shyly.
Lance looked at the armor he wore and was a little surprised: "Veronica, you are so skilled in wearing armor!"
Veronica lowered her head and said with a smile: "We in Idris are a country with a military tradition, and helping people wear armor is a skill that every girl must learn. And I often helped my grandpa and my girlfriends put on armor, so I was very skilled. Actually, this is already slow. What's next?"
Then Lance said, "The armor is finished, and there is one last step left - the mission warrant." How are we going to do this thing, we don't have a seal, how can we bluff it. ”
Saying that, Lance asked, "Veronica, have you ever seen a demon warrant?"
Veronica shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it." ”
"Then you ......" Lance glanced at the white dragon princess Loxani who was flapping his wings in the air, and then held back the sentence.
However, the white dragon princess Loxani still roared: "Nonsense! Of course I don't know! I just broke out of my shell and was born." ”
After thinking for a while, Lance's eyes skimmed to Veronica's small satchel, and suddenly he felt that a little angel smashed his head with a golden hammer, and a flash of inspiration: "Veronica, you quickly take out that piece of silk." ”
"Huh?" Veronica took it out in confusion, then handed it to Lance and said, "Here, what's wrong?" ”
Lance took off the bulky iron gloves in his hand, and then carefully opened the silk package. At this time, the silk package was still wrapped in the petals of Nahni's magic grass. Lance said, "Scissors!"
Veronica hurriedly found the scissors she had with her and handed them to Lance. I saw Lance take the scissors, and then neatly cut a small square of cloth on the silk. Then he carefully wrapped the flowers of Naherni's magic grass again.
"Veronica, do you have a pen or something like that?"
Veronica shook her head and said, "No." ”
Lance turned his head and looked around, but there was really nothing to serve as a pen. But Lance saw the pile of bandages stained with his own blood in the ground, and he thought about it. So he found a small wooden stick next to him, and began to dip his blood into the silk to write the demon characters in his head.
Veronica, who saw Lance's strange movements, said in surprise, "Lance, what are you doing? What are you going to do with this little piece of silk?"
"The captive in front said that in order to pass through that pass, there must be a mission warrant. But we don't know what their warrants look like. However, if we use this expensive silk as writing materials, and then use human blood on the silk to write these demon characters that the Metu people don't understand, and forge such an expensive and terrifying demon warrant. Maybe we'll be able to fool these Mettu people into letting us go. Saying that, Lance had already written a warrant in the language of the demons: "Anyway, the blood on these bandages is useless, just let them dedicate their last strength to our escape." ”
Veronica looked at the text on it and felt very beautiful and beautiful, compact and neatly typeset. So Veronica asked, "Is this the Demon script? What is this about?"
"It's just a demon warrant. But didn't you say that those demon minions didn't know the demon script? The most important thing is that these demon words written in blood should be able to bluff them. Lance folded the small piece of the forged silk demon warrant, then waved his hand to signal Veronica to start packing.
Veronica put the silk wrap wrapped in Nahney's magic grass petals back into her satchel and asked, "What about us?"
Lance then put back on his iron gloves, then picked up the cloak and draped Veronica over the chain mail. Lance pulled his hood down, covering most of Veronica's face. Smiled and said, "Start now." We are the Demon Lords. ”
Veronica hurriedly turned her head and said in surprise, "What did you say?" ”
Lance helped Veronica straighten out the cloak, nodded and said, "That's right, draped the cloak over the armor can also effectively hide our thin body and create the illusion that we are very strong. ”
"But they'll recognize us as human. ”
"Don't we have a password, keep your distance, hide your body under your cloak, and with a little bit of strategy, they'll not recognize you. Lance smiled confidently and said, "Besides, isn't it only the Demon Clan and a very small number of high-level Demon Servant Lords who can speak Demon Language? The Metu man in front said that they had never seen the demons either, since the strangest they were the demons who could speak the demon language, and the demons were their boss. Isn't this information asymmetry the best time to fish in troubled waters?"
"Clever. The White Dragon Princess Loxani nodded and said, "Indeed." Take advantage of the other person's ignorance and mix one fake thing into nine real things, then that fake thing can also come true. The Metu people don't know what the demons look like, and they don't know how the demons do things. If the precious silk is real, the demon characters written are true, the human blood ink is also true, the code is also correct, and there is even a person who can speak the demon language. Just come by surprise, scare it, and be caught off guard. Before they regain their IQ. Then this warrant must also be useful. ”
However, Lance also saw Veronica's concerns: "Veronica, I know that this is very risky, and I really can't say whether it will succeed or not." But that's the best way I can think of to get out of here. If you don't want to, we're not going, and I'll think of another way. ”
Veronica was still a little apprehensive, but looked at Lance's energetic expression. Veronica decided to trust Lance. After all, Lance has already given himself too many surprises and surprises, and he doesn't care about a few more.
Veronica nodded and said, "It's okay, I trust you." If you stay here for a while, there will be more danger. Instead of waiting to die, it's better to fight. ”
"Thank you. Lance nodded with a smile, then looked at the White Dragon Princess Roxani: "As for you......"
The White Dragon Princess Roxani said, "Don't worry, as long as you pass through the safety pass." I can fly. I'll just fly over with you up there, they won't find out. ”
"Okay, then you stay safe. With that, the White Dragon Princess Roxani flew into the air and disappeared into the darkness. They didn't go far, though, just hovering in the darkness of the night directly above them in Lance.
When Veronica saw the White Dragon Princess disappear, she said to Lance, "Then let's go too." ”
At this time, Lance patted his head, and suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute!
"Forgot something?" Veronica looked curiously at Lance, who had returned to the corpse.
I saw Lance take off the identity tags of the necks of the two Metatu soldiers, and then shook it in front of Veronica, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that this can be exchanged for money?
As he spoke, Lance grabbed Veronica's hand, which was blushing, and then put on a cloak and hat at the same time, hiding his face under the cloak. Pulling Veronica down the road.
"We'll swagger over later, and you have to show that you're of high status, and you imagine you're a princess or a queen. These people who rebel because they are greedy for life and fear of death and profit are generally bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, the more arrogant you are, the more cowardly they are, and if you coax, they will ride on your head. Do you understand?" said Lance as he walked, "I'll teach you another magic word." Listen up, 'schan'"
"Schan?" Veronica read along, "What does that mean?"
"'schan' means 'yes' and 'right' and indicates a definite answer. In case I ask you any questions, you can answer with this magic word, try to keep your voice as low as possible, and be a little more powerful and domineering. ”
"Okay, no problem. Veronica nodded, and then they walked through the dark shadows, like two mysterious travelers, towards the pass where the Metu people held their hands.
