Section 187 The original caravan
Under the scorching heat, the old mage, the old mage and Lan Fake, who rushed to help, jumped up and down around the sculpture together, looking for any gap in the sculpture, but found nothing, the old mage had no choice but to take the Mithril sculpture over and compare, and even the adamantite scroll was carefully checked, but there was no gain. In the end, the two of them had no choice but to give up, the old mage still had a bunch of experiments to do, so naturally he didn't have the time to spend with the old evil here, so he simply threw all the sculptures and scrolls to the old evil, told him to study them himself, and then ran away.
The old evil had no choice but to put the sculpture in the bedroom of his castle, and then do what he should do.
Early the next morning, after the old evil fist fight, he began to work with Paz to guide the spirits to depict the magic array, after these years of teaching and practice, the spirits' craftsmanship has become more and more exquisite, their big eyes and dexterous fingers make them have a greater advantage than humans when it comes to carving the subtle lines of the magic array. After reading their works, even if they are professional mages like Path, they have to reluctantly admit that their level is no longer as good as these spirits.
Just when the old evil was full of pride, Lan Fake ran in again and shouted to the old evil: "Hey, little guy, the news from the flying dragon is that another caravan is coming!"
"Haha, someone is going to send money!" When the old evil heard this, he immediately came to his senses, hurriedly rushed out, and asked with a smile: "How many people are here this time?"
"There are not many goods, only 2 or 3 ten carts, but there are really a lot of people, there are seven or eight hundred, all of them are riding war horses, it seems that it is not easy to mess with!"
"Have you seen it?" asked the old evil suddenly.
"En!" Lan Fake nodded and said, "I just went to feel the situation, although these people are dressed like ordinary caravans, but I can see that they are obviously a well-trained army, and ordinary caravans cannot have such strict discipline at all." Hundreds of them marched, and no one exchanged heads, and the spacing between the horses was very neat, almost like a guard of honor for a military parade. And all of them were looking around intently, without a trace of slackness, and they were obviously extremely responsible people. In addition to the regular army, I can't think of any mercenary group that can train such a unit!"
"En?" The old evil was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "That old fellow of my family said that the kingdom was about to send the Champion Knights to clean me up, but that was at least two or three months later?
"They are not from the Griffon Kingdom!" Lan Fake affirmed, "I feel the surging light holy power from them, it is obvious that they are the troops of the Light Empire, and there are definitely a large number of Light Knights at once! And they are also escorting several carriages, maybe there are light priests or mages hidden inside." ”
"Speaking of which, I must remind you that the most hated force in the Empire of Light is the cooperation of priests, mages and warriors, known as the Iron Triangle. They usually let the warrior protect the mage and the priest first, and then the mage desperately uses powerful spells to output a large number of opponents, and if the opponent wants to attack, the warrior with the assistance of the priest of light is like a hard bone, especially difficult to gnaw. Even if you finally injure the opponent's warriors, after a healing technique, you will be a good man. Therefore, this iron triangle is extremely difficult, if the other party is really in this configuration, then this team of seven or eight hundred people, you have to treat it as one or two thousand people!" Lan Fake said solemnly.
"So dragging?" the old evil scratched his scalp, and then said, "Ordinary transportation missions won't dispatch so many masters, right? After all, the Priest of Light who can be brought to the battlefield is everyone's treasure, and the Empire of Light will not be dispatched easily, so how can they come here? You say, they can't be the family of Path's employer, and they are here to take revenge, right?"
You know, when the old evil came here, he met Paz and his employer with more than 30 cyclops captives, but the old evil couldn't get used to their abuse and killing of the female surname of the wolf clan, so he killed all of them, leaving only one Paz as a slave. That was half a year ago, and the family of Paz's employer should have gotten the news. According to Path, his employer is not small, and it is very likely that his family will send someone to investigate after losing news of him.
Lan Faco also heard about the past, but he shook his head very directly and said, "It's definitely not the family of Paz's employer who came to the door!"
"Why are you so sure?" said the old evil immediately curiously.
"The reason is very simple, if my child is missing, I will first send someone to investigate the cause of the disappearance, at least find the identity of the murderer, and then talk about revenge. How could anyone who didn't even know who the murderer was, and immediately mobilized a large army to fight against him? unless he already knew that Paz had been killed by you!" Lan Faco said, "Did you let the living mouth go at that time?"
"Impossible!" The old evil immediately shook his head and said, "I moved with the old mage, do you think anyone can escape our ears and eyes?"
"That's right, as long as you don't go back alive to report the news, who knows that you killed the caravan?" so this unit in front of you doesn't look like it's here to take revenge!" Lan Fake said: "In addition, I can see that they seem to be protecting something as important, as if they are really going to make a deal!"
"I hope so!" the old evil nodded, and then sneered: "However, we still have to let them go! Moreover, I still have to collect this toll, because our rules cannot be broken! But for the sake of their strength, they can give them a preferential price of one gold coin per person, if they dare not agree, hum, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Isn't it? You kid is really bold enough to even provoke such a strong team?" Lan Fake couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Aren't you asking for money and dying?" to tell you, the madmen of the Bright Empire are very vindictive, and the mages of other people also have a way to send the news back instantly. Don't bother!"
"What are you afraid of?" said the old evil disdainfully: "The Bright Empire is far away, and their large army can't come!"
"Then you can do whatever you want, I won't make a move anyway, if people recognize me, the old fellow of the Pope will definitely send the madmen of the Inquisition to clean me up, and I want to live two more days!" said Lan Faco with a wry smile.
"Is the Inquisition powerful?" said the old evil with immediate curiosity.
"Nonsense, that's the darkest and most powerful force in the Empire of Light, much more clever than the royal agents of your griffon kingdom. It's just that in order to maintain the superficial image of the Bright Empire, they generally don't go out easily. But if someone dares to kill their senior priest, hehe, even if it is a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, they will hunt down and kill them all over the continent!" Lan Fake shook his head helplessly: "Maybe one-on-one, I'm not afraid of anyone in the Inquisition, but the problem is that there are too many hidden monsters inside, and I really can't withstand their group fights alone!"
"Forget it!" said the old evil disdainfully: "You just stay first, I'll deal with them!"
After saying that, the old evil didn't bother to pay attention to Lan Fake, and walked directly outside, shouting and starting to gather people. Soon, more than 200 spirits and more than 20 cyclops, as well as the Bull King, the Wyvern Dragon King, and the Demon Explosion Spider all arrived.
The old evil looked at his group of fierce subordinates, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he couldn't help but feel proud again, as if the old devil who was powerful in the past had returned. He said in his heart, hum, bullshit, shepherd, law, and war iron triangle, if you don't leave the money to buy the road today, the uncle will turn you into a dead triangle.
Thinking of this, the old evil immediately raised his head and said directly to everyone: "Little ones, there is a caravan coming, do we have to ask him for tolls?"
"Yes!" shouted the spirits and cyclops in unison. As for those who could not speak, they also screamed twice in support of them.
"But what if they don't give it to us?" asked the old evil again.
"Kill!" the spirit and cyclops yelled together. Obviously, under the indoctrination of the old evil, the always cowardly spirit and the originally honest cyclops, most of them are trained to be similar to bandits. As for the other younger brothers, they were originally more fierce than the bandits, and now they used an extremely loud roar as an answer to the old evil.
"Haha! yes, that's it!" The performance of the beasts made the old evil extremely satisfied, and he immediately began to order: "Okay, stop me now, spirits, go and mine me immediately, according to what I gave you before, don't make a mistake!"
"Yes!" the spirits agreed in unison, and then they dispersed and began to do what the old evil had commanded.
"Little Black!" The old evil then said to the demon explosion spider: "You take your children to ambush me in the dense forest, listen to my orders, you will immediately attack that group of idiots from behind, remember, those who wear robes should eat first, their meat is fragrant!"
However, his words obviously stimulated the Demon Explosion Spider a lot, as soon as he heard about the smell of meat, that guy actually made a drop of saliva, and immediately corroded the bluestone ground into a pit, but it didn't realize it, it just twisted its big ass excitedly at the old evil, and even ran away!
