Ralph was overjoyed: "Won't there be any cavemen coming up?" That's great! How do you do that? ”

Wang 1510 said everything from the cooperation between the lich and the dwarf a long, long time ago, to how the results of this cooperation were found and used by the cavemen.

Ralph frowned, "How so, I've never heard of a local dwarf existing. My grandfather searched a lot of information and ancient books in order to defeat the cavemen, but he couldn't find any records of dwarves in this area—the entire valley territory. ”

Wang: "Maybe it's from the last century. How many years has it been since the state of Kousania? Maybe when the lich and the dwarves cooperated underground here, the surface was still a wild place, and it was normal to leave no records.

"And the Langdon Territory next door was still the frontier of the Dwarf Mountain Kingdom in the last century, and it is strange that there are no dwarves under the river valley."

Ralph thought for a moment and nodded, "You have a point, how did those dwarves disappear?" Caveman? ”

Wang: "Cavemen don't have the skills to kill dwarves. This is especially true for dwarves who have partnered with the Lich to gain a sufficient number of troops. In the end, it was the Lich who wiped out the underground Dwarven kingdom, and judging from the records left by the Lich, his ultimate goal was a treasure in the hands of the Dwarves. ”

"Did it take this treasure with you?" Ralph asked.

Wang nodded: "It seems that by the way, we have nothing to gain except for the Holy Emblem that I just mentioned to you that will pollute the surroundings." ”

Yes, Wang Yin lost the gloves, the soup spoon, and the empty cyclops core.

After all, the mercenaries had come back alive, and they had promised to share the "treasures of the temple" with them.

The rest of the team remained silent, even Nini, who looked the purest.

Of course, it may be that everyone has forgotten about this stubble, after all, last night was too ups and downs, and everyone has a feeling of the rest of their lives, and it is normal to have no energy to care about these.

Ralph also tacitly didn't ask much, but directly said his next plan: "We can't be sure that the caveman threat will be lifted, so we can't help you overthrow the 'duke' and maintain the legitimacy of the duchess right now." ”

Wang: "We understand that you need time to confirm what is actually happening. By the way, you should send someone to follow our path, we came out of a crack in the ground, and you, as the son of the lord, you should be the first to know the length of the crack and understand how it hinders the passage. ”

Ralph nodded, "I will." I see you're tired, do you need a horse? Mount, and let my riders lead you back to the fort. ”

As soon as Wang wanted to excuse himself, he found that his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he had a hard time walking.

So he nodded: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

In fact, at this time, the whole team was very vulnerable, the biggest hole cards were used up, and the king's three-ring spell slot was only a stinky cloud - this was brought because cavemen had a keen sense of smell, and they might be able to kill them ugly.

The dwarven priest even emptied all the magic spells, although Kailin opened the four rings of magic to him, but he had to rest enough and meditate again before these magic could be used.

Now there are spellcasters with relatively strong combat power, and Elizabeth is left, think about it carefully, Elizabeth paddled the water all night this night. But the charm of human beings played a vital role.

People other than the caster, whether they are Xiaobai or barbarians, are tired enough, and the black and white elves seem to have some strength left, but that's just the look. The tiredness of the elves is not exposed, but when they are tired, they are tired.

At this time, Wang personally thanked Ralph for not having any superfluous thoughts.

There is nothing more beautiful than a clean bed.

Ralph: "Breakfast is ready inside the fort, and the mercenaries are eating it. You can eat with them if you want...... But I don't think you have the energy to share your adventures with the mercenaries right now. ”

Wang: "Yes, I'll talk about it at dinner." There shouldn't be any caveman attacks tonight. ”

As he spoke, the king mounted the horse that the knight had given up.

Elizabeth didn't think much of it, and climbed straight to the mage's saddle, as if it were already her exclusive seat.

Xiaobai: "Don't you ride me?" ”

Elizabeth: "Rest well. Come, sit in front of me, there's still a little bit of room here. ”

So Xiaobai also climbed onto the mage's horse, his back pressed against Elizabeth's abdomen, and his head against her secondary sexual characteristics.

Xiaobai: "Oh, you originally planned to use me as a pier to amplify the waves. ”

"I didn't!"

The mage ignored their conversation and motioned for the knight to set off.

So the knight saluted, and led the horse in a proper manner, and began to move slowly.

At this time, Flint shouted angrily from behind him: "Don't! It was scary enough to put me in the basket before! You want me to ride such a beast! Oh no no, let me go down! ”

The king looked back and saw that the dwarf, though he had complained repeatedly, had not struggled at all, but had clung to the mane of the back of his horse's neck for fear that he would fall.

Gotrek sat behind him and reassured, "This time we don't let the horse run, it's the knight who leads the way." ”

Dwarf: "Then why don't you just let me go down?" I'm not tired! After all, I was pulled up by my beard when I flew up, and I was completely fine except for the bleeding from the pores of my chin. ”

Although the dwarf was still chattering, the knight leading the horse had already walked, and the dwarf was so nervous that he missed the opportunity to jump off the horse.

The two elves each rode a horse, but the mounts had very different attitudes towards them.

The drow elf's mount was nervous, and it seemed that it was afraid of something, and the forest elf's horse walked out like a spring breeze.

Ralph took the lead, and the group headed towards the fortress.

**

As soon as they entered the foyer of the fortress, many mercenaries who had fought all night were camping and resting, and many people lit bonfires directly on the stone floor of the hall and began to barbecue animals that I don't know if they were provided by the guards or hunted by themselves.

When they saw Wang and his entourage riding in on horseback, many people stood up in surprise.

The king heard someone whispering, "When the ground trembled, I told you, maybe they were still alive!" ”

"Nonsense, you're talking about them being finished!"

"I've always believed that they'll be fine! After all, if you look at their team, look at us all humans! They're the kind of legendary squad that would appear in the Bard's story! ”

"Ask them if they've found any treasures! Before, it was said that they would only solve the problem of the cavemen, and we would share the treasures in the temple! ”

Elizabeth heard this and cried out, "Although we have not found the treasure, I will pay the reward on behalf of Langdon!"

"Each of you will receive 1,000 gold coins of Kosania!

"If you don't like the weight of 1,000 gold coins is too big, you can choose the same bearer futures coupon and go to Minoan City in Monrovia to exchange it with the Langdon Chamber of Commerce there!"

With the volume of trade from Langdon to Minoan City, the capital of Monrovia, it would be very cumbersome to use all the gold coins, so the futures coupon was born. This kind of ticket guaranteed by the reputation of a large chamber of commerce can be exchanged for the corresponding goods at the time set on the ticket at the chamber of commerce that recognizes the ticket.

This made it much easier to trade, and most importantly, there were fewer coins on merchant ships. The robbers robbed the futures coupons, and eventually had to go to the trading house to exchange them to get the gold coins, and there were countless robbers who capsized in this process.

Some chambers of commerce have even started to change the format of futures bonds on a regular basis, and then add markings to the futures tickets of different trading partners, so that the robbers are more risky when they redeem the futures bonds.

The "bearer" futures bills that Elizabeth said just now mean that there is no such mark, and anyone who holds it can redeem it and will not be arrested.

With the princess's promise, the mercenaries all smiled. Someone raised his glass and shouted, "Let's celebrate the return of the Legendary Squad!" In the future, when I am old, I can tell my grandson that I once participated in the same mission with such a group of legends and came back alive! ”

The king turned over and dismounted, took the glass, and raised it high: "To those dead warriors!" ”

The originally enthusiastic scene suddenly fell silent.

The king silently spilled the wine on the ground.

The others did the same, and the wine of victory seeped into the crevices of the slate.

At this time, the troubadours of the unknown squad played the rud and sang softly: "Don't weep at my tombstone, I'm not there, I don't sleep."

"I am the bitter cold wind that sweeps through the ice fields of Solace.

"I am the gentle spring rain that moistens the wheat fields on both sides of the Maxunya River.

"I am the quiet dawn that permeates the forests of the Thorn Islands.

"I am the sound of a mighty drum, flying over the clouds of the mountain kingdom.

"I am a singing bird, left in a beautiful world.

"Don't cry at my tombstone, I'm not there, I've never been asleep."

**

After listening to the sad farewell song, the group finally returned to the room arranged by Ralph.

Gao Trick went straight to the bed, and the dwarf sat down directly against the bed and took out his pipe: "I didn't feel tired at all when I fled, but now I relax, and the tiredness will come like a tide." ”

Wang: But instead of sleeping, you took out your pipe. ”

"Take a puff at this time before you can sleep comfortably."

Wang: "Isn't the smoke refreshing, and you can still sleep after smoking?" ”

"I'm a dwarf." Flint said without further explanation.

The mage also accepted this statement and did not delve into it.

Elizabeth sat down beside him and looked at him with shining eyes: "You actually pay tribute to those who died, how did you think of it?" I thought you didn't understand the world at all. ”

Wang: "I don't understand. But that's what it's all about in the legends. ”

"So you followed it? So how do you feel? ”

The king touched his heart: "When I listen to the bard sing that song, I feel the same as listening to the famous song of the dwarves, the song of the lonely mountain. My uncle is very fond of music and often sings this song of the lonely mountain. ”

The dwarf who smoked a cigarette was surprised, "Isn't that an elegy written by some pessimistic dwarf in the Kingdom of the Mountains to the dwarven empire that is gradually losing power?" ”

As he spoke, the dwarf hummed the prelude to the song of the lonely mountain in a deep voice.

At this time, the drow elf scooped a glass of water from the bucket next to him and handed it to Elizabeth: "I see that you are sweating a lot, Miss, please replenish more water." ”

The king suddenly became interested: "Wait a minute! Don't drink it! ”

As he spoke, he took out the dimensional bag, took out the soup spoon given by the lich, and put it into the cup that Elizabeth was holding.

The next moment, a rich aroma wafts out of the cup and burrows into everyone's nostrils.

The mage stared at the slightly white soup in the cup for a few seconds, and said, "It seems that you can only turn water into soup, but you can't fill it with soup." ”

Xiaobai leaned over, sniffed the edge of the cup, and the saliva dripped to the ground: "It's strange, I don't have a piece of meat, but I really want to drink it!" ”

Gao Cuike, who was already lying down, also sat up: "Incense! ”

The dwarf, who had just been about to hum a song, also stood up and walked to a position where he could better smell the aroma.

Wang: "I'll take a sip first." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Elizabeth, who was holding the cup, to take a sip directly.

After drinking, he smacked his lips and said, "It feels like the venison soup on the side of the former capital of Quesania and the current residence of the Duke of Steyr." Only salt and very few spices were used, and the venison was apparently marinated, with a hint of pepper.

"In general, the seasoning is very light, but the venison that may be used is very tender and has a lot of flavor."

Xiaobai: "Give me a drink!" Can I take a sip of Big White? ”

Obviously, the little girl was already hungry, but she still asked in a proper manner.

Elizabeth glanced at the king complainingly: "The werewolves who pursue the wild are more polite than you. Come, Xiaobai, you can take it and drink it. Anyway, with this soup spoon, you can keep 'making'. ”

After getting permission, Xiaobai snatched the cup and drank it all at once, and then she put down the cup and let out a long breath: "Ah~ This is amazing." It's just drinking water, but it's like eating meat. Oh no, I suddenly crave meat. ”

Wang: "Although most of the time drinking soup before meals will dilute stomach acid, reduce appetite and interfere with digestion. But sometimes a small bowl of soup before a meal can really whet your appetite. The premise is that the soup is good. I give this soup a score of 98. ”

Xiaobai: "I want to eat meat!" ”

At this time, Marika scooped water into another cup and poured it into the cup with the spoon in it, and the next moment the fragrant soup appeared again.

The king picked it up and took a sip.

Elizabeth: "I haven't drunk it yet!" ”

As he handed her the cup, the mage said, "We are going to choose one person now and drink only the soup made from the spoon." Others eat. By tomorrow, we should be able to determine whether the soup has really become a nutritious and energetic soup, or if it is just a layer of illusion added to the water. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Seeing this, Elizabeth raised her hand: "I'll come, I'll do the least today, at least help with the experiment." ”

Marika: "Your Highness! ”

Wang: "Okay, you come." ”

Drow Elf: "Don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" ”

Wang: "Huh? Why? Her willingness to dedicate herself to the search for the truth is a very noble act, and I have no reason to stop her. ”

With that, the mage and the drow elves looked at each other for a full five seconds.

Marika raised her forehead: "Forget it, since His Highness is willing, so be it." Shorty, supervise the physical condition of His Highness. ”

Dwarf: "Is that your begging attitude?" ”

Wang: "I have asked you too." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Flint gave a thumbs up.

Wang: "Then let's get started." You help me and pour soup for Elizabeth! ”
