021 "Black and White Wars"
Marika seemed to lose interest in her new teammates and turned directly to Wang: "This is the registration form for the mercenaries I brought, I think according to my observations of the combat effectiveness of cavemen, such a unit should be enough to go underground."
"I also bought some poison by the way, although the amount is not much, but it should be enough to support us to complete the entire offensive operation."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and handed out the list, but the elf, who was still far away from her, took three steps back and stuck it to the wall.
Wang glanced at the list and nodded: "It's hard work, it's done well." ”
Marika continued, "There are also some mercenaries who are not sure to join the operation, but they are also coming, and they want to make sure that we have a detailed map of the underground. ”
The king looked at Ralph.
The latter replied, "My grandfather has kept the map of the mine tunnel, and there is also the map they drew when they were conducting underground reconnaissance operations. But that's all information from when I wasn't born yet. I'm afraid you'll need to find your way down there. ”
Wang: "We have dwarves. ”
"What?" Flint was startled, and his hand that was stuffing tobacco into his pipe stopped, but he immediately nodded, "Oh yes, don't worry, we dwarves are top-notch at finding their way underground!" Uh, yes, it's top notch! ”
Marika: "I told the skeptical mercenaries that I was once a member of the Drow Force, and that when I was still in the service of the Master, I also learned to identify the location of the ground by the soil of the rock face. But they weren't very convinced, and they had to have a detailed map to get them on board. ”
The drow elves are basically a matriarchal society, and the drow society is composed of family cells, and each family has a "master mother" who can say the same.
"Sir Ralph," the mage gestured to the Count's son, "please choose the map that is in the best condition and looks the most detailed, and show it to me." ”
Ralph: "Are you really going to rely on this to explore?" It's older than I am, and based on the information you've gotten from interrogating the cavemen, haven't the cavemen been expanding underground lately? ”
The mage smiled, "No, I'm just using this to convince the mercenaries. Actually, I had already figured out that when the next caveman attack was over, we would go deep into the ground with the smell. What we really have to rely on is Xiaobai's nose. ”
Ralph: "That's, the mercenaries won't be reassured." ”
"That's why I use a map. When the time comes, I will take the map, ride on Xiaobai's back, and pretend to look at the map, but in fact, Xiaobai himself will follow the taste. ”
Xiaobai: "Then I want enough meat." ”
"Don't worry." Elizabeth said, "Enough is enough." ”
The elven girl who was leaning against the wall suddenly said, "Is this deceiving the other mercenaries?" You are liars. I'm going to ......"
Wang: "Don't say you're quitting now!" I've got you in the plan, I need your bowing, I need you to shoot poisoned arrows into monsters' eyes. Only you can do it. You're our cue card when we encounter monsters in the underground on a squad scale.
"If you quit now, my whole plan will be ruined. The elves shouldn't be such an untrustworthy race, right? ”
The elf girl said a few words and gave up: "The elf clan is true to its word, and I promised to go down together." But I only promised to solve the caveman problem together, and when the problem was solved, we will go our separate ways. I already know from you how humans can deceive people. ”
Wang: "What about the danger of annihilation?" You are the representative of the elves to solve the crisis! Do you want the bards to say in the future that the elves have withdrawn from the crisis solution because of their suspicion and arrogance? ”
Nini's mouth was half-open, speechless.
Elizabeth said, "You said that we are a voluntary squad, and since she is leaving, let's go." ”
Nini immediately said, "That's right! Voluntary! You said it! You also said that your cat-man rangers can leave if they want to! You can't break your word! ”
The king looked at Elizabeth: "You...... We need rangers. ”
Elizabeth: "Then you can look for it later, that's what you said when Mishashara left." Or is it that you can't walk when you see her long legs, you have to be her? ”
Nini looked down at her legs, rubbed her hands lightly on her thighs, and then looked at the sweat stuck to her fingertips.
Wang Ze didn't look at the elf at all, he frowned and looked at Elizabeth: "The elf is a very good archer, you can also see her strength, if our opponent is a sect that can take out the seven-ring caster casually, we need elite soldiers." ”
Elizabeth: "But people don't trust us, as the proverb in your Oriental hometown says, a twisted melon is not sweet." ”
The king was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "You have a point, forcing her to stay may be problematic in the future, okay, Miss Nini, let's settle this caveman crisis and then part ways—I mean, if you insist on doing so." ”
The elf looked at the sweat on his fingertips.
Wang: "Miss Nini? ”
"Huh?" The elven girl looked up, "What? ”
Wang: "If I said that if you insist on parting ways when the matter is over, we can say goodbye." ”
"Oh, this, good, very good!" The girl nodded.
The drow elf looked at his "kindred" and suddenly asked, "Excuse me, how old is this elf?" ”
Flint: "At a hundred years old, you're probably an old woman compared to her." ”
Marika had an understanding expression: "Oh, so she's on a trip to make sure of her name?" I think it's better to let her go, there is no place for the fledgling on the journey to save the world. ”
The elf immediately frowned, staring at Drow's dark skin: "I'm no, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said!" ”
"Come on," said Marika, "you probably only saw Drow in the stories of the Elders, and you thought we were all evil beings who drank blood, and you were all sweating with fear, why, did your mother often scare you that elves who don't sleep well will be caught and eaten by Drow?" ”
The elf girl blushed: "No! I'm not afraid of you! ”
The king looked at her legs and tried to stretch out his hand, but Elizabeth stopped her.
Elizabeth: "Don't keep touching a girl's leg!" It's rude! ”
Wang: "But the elf's sweat is really fine, and you can't tell if she's sweating or not." ”
"Whether people sweat or not has something to do with you!"
Nini glanced at Elizabeth gratefully.
Marika: "Miss is so protective of you, for Miss's sake, I have no problem with you joining." If you want to destroy me, this evil creature, you are always welcome to do it, and when the time comes, I will fight back and accidentally kill the poor elf little girl, and I don't think Miss will blame me. ”
Elizabeth: "Alright, stop scaring her. I think as the time of contact increases, she will also learn that you are different from the other drows. Drow elves can also be kind. ”
Nini stared at Elizabeth suspiciously: "Is it okay?" I've never heard of the kind drow elf! ”
Elizabeth: "Uh...... There should be, you see the world is so big......"
Wang: "Yes." I've read in the literature in the tower that there was a drow elf who was born with sin, and as the third son of the family, he was supposed to be sacrificed to the spider goddess, but a second before the sacrifice, the family had a vendetta, and he was no longer the third son of the family, so he survived.
He continued to train as an elite of the Drow Elves, but his father soon discovered that his son had a pure and beautiful heart. This purity allowed him to let go of the surface elf girl who was captured by the family.
This act of his caused the entire family to be abandoned by the spider goddess, and the goddess lost the magic bestowed by the goddess. For this reason, the mistress of the family decided to sacrifice him and obtain the goddess's forgiveness. But his father, in order to protect the rare purity of mind among the Drow elves, voluntarily traded his life for his escape.
"Since then, he has struggled with the nature of the Drow elves, living his life as a good ranger. (*)”
Nini looked at the mage, "I've never heard a story like this!" Never! ”
"Because it's not the story of this plane." Wang shrugged, "The mage tower built by my teacher has people from all planes of the multiverse, and professors often travel to various planes of the multiverse. So we've got knowledge and history from the multiverse gathered there. ”
Nini: "I...... I wanted to be suspicious, but after seeing your dimensional bag, I thought it was quite credible. ”
Marika: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind drow that the mage said I was. My essence has not changed because of my loyalty to Elizabeth. ”
"Marika!" Elizabeth exclaimed, "I think you are a good man, and you don't need to emphasize your wickedness so repeatedly." ”
Marika looked at Elizabeth with a kind expression, as if a grandmother were looking at her granddaughter: "No, my dear miss, I have your unimaginable sins on me, and no good god will accept me, no, miss."
"Just like the mage said just now, I've hunted those fair-skinned cousins, and there are quite a few. I've broken the necks of countless elven chicks and gouged out their beautiful eyes to make ornaments.
"While I was still loyal to my mother, I wore these ornaments proudly on my breast. Later, I betrayed my family for revenge, and I used the ornament to raise money for the journey. Now I can't figure out whether the necklace made of elven eyes is still hanging on the chest of someone who has a pathological love for elves. ”
Nini trembled slightly, but this time it was clearly not scared, but angry.
Nini: "Someday, you're going to have to pay the price. ”
Marika: "I'm ready. You're entitled to take revenge on me, but you don't have what it takes right now, chick. ”
Elizabeth exclaimed, "Marika! Stop provoking her! At least now we're teammates! ”
In such an atmosphere, Wang suddenly said: "I remember, because the elven eyes are very beautiful, so there are indeed some planes that will crystallize the elven eyeballs and sell them as gems. ”
He stared into Nini's eyes as he spoke, "I've always dismissed this as a rumor and put it out of my mind, after all, I haven't actually seen an elf. When I saw it today, I understood. Practice makes sense! ”
The atmosphere was originally quite tense, but as soon as Wang stirred it up, it immediately became child's play.
Marika sighed, "Damn it, Wang, you made me, who was just serious, look like a fool. If I hadn't known you didn't have emotional intelligence, I'd have suspected that you were deliberately gagging to muddy the waters. ”
Wang: "Huh? You can go on. I just felt it. ”
Elizabeth, who was in a hurry to reconcile the contradictions between black and white, is now staring into Nini's eyes.
Then she looked at Nini's secondary sex characteristics, the base of her thighs, and finally returned to Nini's eyes, and she didn't know why her expression was a little desperate.
Nini stared at Marika and said, "I can't kill you right now." My gut tells me so. ”
Marika: "Your instincts are good. ”
"But," Nini continued, "if I find out that you have done something evil, one day I will kill you with my own hands to show justice." ”
Wang: "I think back to my experience of acting with Marika, and some of her actions are really evil, and she has a tendency to kill indiscriminately. But she killed the bad guys. ”
For example, the wanderers of the Wanderer's Guild.
Marika: "If it were a paladin, I would definitely think that my actions were evil, after all, although I killed bad people, after all, I have not been judged. So, it's still the same sentence just now, elf chick, if you want to kill me, just come. I am mentally prepared that the murderer must have the consciousness of being killed. ”
Nini nodded seriously: "I will." ”
Xiaobai: "I'm hungry. Haven't you arrived? ”
Everyone looked at the druid, who couldn't read the atmosphere like the mage.
Elizabeth: "Of course! Let's eat! ”
**
This evening.
All the mercenaries willing to participate in the operation gathered at the rear of the underground fortifications, waited for the caveman attack to end, and then went underground and went straight to the temple of Ramashtu.
Some of the mercenaries were actually worried, thinking that when the cavemen did not dare to attack the ground, the regular army of the local princes could not take the cavemen. As a result, as soon as they saw the condition of the local soldiers, they immediately felt that the cavemen did not seem to be a big deal: after all, such soldiers could kill the entire underground fortifications with the corpses of the cavemen.
As had been agreed, the king took the map provided by Ralph and claimed that he knew the way.
Because he has a matter-of-fact expression no matter what the situation, he has deceived many well-informed mercenaries.
Of course, it could also be that he claimed that the treasures in the temple of Ramashtu followed the principle of whoever finds it and who possesses it, which moved many mercenaries.
In short, most of the mercenaries who came were ready to go underground with them to see what was going on.
The few who were still waiting and watching also decided to see the combat effectiveness of the cavemen first.
So this large group of guys with much better armor than the local troops waited behind the array of local soldiers.
At about the same time as yesterday, there was a scream in the tunnel.
Just like yesterday, Nini raised her hand and arrowed, and the scream turned into a mournful scream.
The mercenaries all looked at the elven archers with amazement.
The local soldiers then rang a large gong to disrupt the troglodyte's positioning.
Then the cavemen threw out the stinky meat, and here they threw the poisonous meat, and the terrible monsters appeared, and then they were poisoned.
Everything is exactly the same as yesterday, even the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Eventually, the cavemen all died before the humans.
The king rode the druid's smaller wolf, held his glowing stick in his left hand, and held the map in his right hand: "All right! It's our turn! Let's go! ”
This experience pays tribute to Triste Du Chalk and Cui Sanye, there is a change.
By the way, Nini's ears are longer and sharper than those in the average Western fantasy, and they are the Japanese elves. Without him, I like this more, and I can play peculiar PLAY in the future
