Chapter 44: Carusat's Bribery
Following Carusat along the wall for a few minutes, the orc suddenly stopped and tapped rhythmically on the hard wall.
Just as Leo wondered what he was going to do, there was a tooth-aching creak and the wall moved, revealing a deep hole that meandered underground, not knowing where it leads.
Carusat smiled and said, "This is my secret base, no one else knows about it, and only here can I relax." Please come in, my two friends. ”
A few people entered the hole, and the wall closed automatically.
After a while, an old orc with gray hair came up with a torch and complained, "Young wolf master, why don't you even bring a guard......?"
Carusat waved his hand uncontrollably: "It's okay, I've already arranged, go and get my best wine, I'm going to entertain my friends." ”
"Friend?" the old orc noticed Illidia behind Carusat, and smiled unconsciously, obviously knowing. And when he saw Leo, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn again.
When did ......the young wolf lord have a human friend?
The old orc did not continue to think, but silently turned away, having been a servant for decades, and he knew what to say and what not to say.
After walking a few hundred meters along the passage leading to the underground, the front was cheerful.
It was a large hall with many ornaments from the human and elven worlds on display.
Colorful crystal lamps, exquisite sculptures, soft and fine velvet carpets, and elegant sofas all show the wealth of the owner. Around the hall, there are many wooden shelves with all kinds of weapons, and the cold light is so cold that they are not ordinary things at first glance.
It's just that these things are obviously put together, and it always makes people feel weird.
"It seems that Morris's business is really selling. Leo looked at it. While muttering secretly.
"You sit as you like. Karusat pointed to the couch and shouted again, "Bring the wine!"
As Leo and Illidia sat down, the old orc had already walked out of the hall cubicle with a huge crystal wine vessel.
The golden liquor shook and shimmered in the light.
Carusat took the wine vessel, poured a large glass for Leo and Illidia himself, and said, "Taste, you're lucky, this is a good thing that I got not long ago." ”
Leo took the glass, thanked him again, and then took a small sip.
The spicy liquor slices down the throat. Like a knife, it is as hot as fire, and it is not far behind the "flaming lava" that has been drunk.
"Good wine!
"Haha, it's a friend!" Carusat glanced at Leo appreciatively. In the belief of the orcs, people who cannot drink alcohol are not worth associating.
After all, Leo and Carusat met for the first time, and they didn't talk about business directly, but casually talked about their origins, and they got to know each other. While drinking.
When he learned that Leo had come from the northern country, Carusat couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although I know that there are many human countries over there, due to the long distance, and there are natural barriers such as the Star-Moon Sea, the Dark Region, and the Mogaolei Grassland. Humans from the North had hardly ever entered the Barrens before.
And the last time the orc soldiers arrived in the Star Moon Sea, it was thousands of years ago. At the same time, Carusat was also interested in magic, because in his opinion. It's a very mysterious power.
Unconsciously, a glass of liquor was in his stomach, and Leo felt a slight dizziness. However, this feeling is not uncomfortable, but it makes people feel fluttering.
Feeling more and more satisfied with Leo, Carusat asked with a snort of wine, "Illidia said that you have something about the Darkmoon Church? ”
Leo smiled and replied, "I just want to know what those guys are doing here, the soldier who searched before doesn't seem to know much." ”
Carusatel briefly recalled, and said: "I caught a prisoner and interrogated some information. The Darkmoon Church united many forces to attack a country to the north, but failed. ”
"Failed, did they retreat?" Leo asked in surprise, seeing that Illidia and Carusat were both puzzled, he explained, "I happen to be from that country, the Calente Empire, but I have been away for a while, and I don't know much about the situation over there. ”
Carusat suddenly realized and said: "It is said that the battle situation is unfavorable, but whether there is a retreat or not, we have not learned in detail. ”
Leo nodded, since the battle situation is unfavorable, with the national strength of the Calente Empire, it seems that the dark elves have been repelled, that is to say, it is almost time for the academy to resume teaching. It's just that I'm far away from the wizarding world, and I can't see any magic journals, so I'm afraid I missed this news.
Carusat continued the conversation earlier, "The Captive of the Darkmoon Church said that they came here in search of something. ”
The oil was good news, and Leo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the Darkmoon Church is looking for things, not people, it means that they should not know that Isha is in the Supreme Forest, so they can rest assured.
"What are they looking for?" asked Illidia this time.
As a Moon Elf Druid, although he is not a believer in the Moon God, he naturally dislikes the Darkmoon Church.
"It's not clear yet, the person isn't of a high level, and it's not clear what he's looking for. Carusat replied. Just when Leo felt a little disappointed, he dropped another bombshell: "However, it is said that Nefert was bewitched by them to lose his mind, transform into a corpse witch, and finally be completely killed by several humans." ”
Even if Leo hadn't heard of the name Nefit, he could tell from Carusat's words that this person was the youngest son of the Great Chief, a demonic warlock who had been buried by himself.
He actually colluded with the Darkmoon Church?
For a moment, Leo hesitated to tell Carusat that he was the "murderer" who completely killed Nefit.
Illidia seemed to sense something, glanced at Leo, and said, "So what they want has something to do with the Golden Family?"
Carusa nodded, "That's what we guessed. But there is no clear evidence yet. ”
"Anyway, as long as you don't let them get your hands on it. I know those guys very well, and chaos and evil are their only rules of action. Leo interjected, and suddenly he remembered something and asked, "By the way, is the captive still alive?"
"Alive. Carusat immediately replied, "In the dungeons of Fort Kim." ”
Leo thought for a moment and said, "If I meet him, maybe there will be a way to get more information." ”
"Huh?" said Karusat, a little unconvinced. There are so many strong people in Jinbao, and they just ask these things. What will the young people in front of them do?
Before Leo could explain, Illidia had already preemptively said for him: "Mages have many special abilities in spirit and soul, and can also do things that shamans and war sacrifices can't. ”
Hearing him say this, Carusat hesitated for a moment, and soon called the old orc and said, "Go and find out who is in charge of the dungeon today." ”
The old orc knew what he meant, and said with a hesitant expression: "Are you sure you want to go? If it attracts the attention of others, I am afraid it will not be clear. ”
"Let's see who's in charge before deciding, go ahead, we'll be waiting for you here. Carusat replied without hesitation.
I know that this young wolf lord has always been very assertive. What was decided would not change, and the old orc had no choice but to nod and turn away.
............
Late at night. Southwest corner of Fort King, dungeon.
The guard Ragus and his men drank a little wine and were groggily asleep.
Although according to the rules. The night guards are not allowed to sleep, but must stay awake and guard the entrance. But recently, the days have been relatively peaceful, and it is rare to arrest prisoners and escort them to the dungeon at night, and the door of the dungeon has also been blessed by the priests of the "War God Temple", so it is difficult to open it through special methods, so he didn't take it to heart.
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, which was very clear in the silence.
Ragus woke up in shock, and the violent heartbeat and the dizziness of the hangover made him feel very uncomfortable, and it took him a while to regain consciousness.
Looking around, none of his men were here, and Ragus sounded, and after he had eaten and drunk, he had allowed each of them to find a place to sleep.
The knocking on the door continued, making people's heads hurt.
"Damn, in the middle of the night, which unlucky ghost was caught. Cursing, Ragus opened the communication hole.
This small hole, a few centimeters in size, is able to prevent the guards from sudden attacks, and it is also one of the strictest rules of the dungeon to first interrogate visitors, identify them and prove them.
However, it was pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen, so Ragus had to ask, "Who's outside?"
"Ragus, it's me, Carusat. A familiar voice came.
"Why did he come all of a sudden?" said Laguston, taken aback.
When he was younger, Ragus once raised the flag in Carusat's father's legion, and was considered an old subordinate. When he got older, he left the army and was assigned to the dungeon as a guard, first, it was more leisurely, there was more oil and water, and secondly, he didn't have to work hard, which was a good place to retire. So for Carusat's father, his heart is full of gratitude.
At this time, a light came from outside, reflecting a young but majestic orc face.
With golden eyes and the iconic golden family nose ring on his nose, it was none other than Carusat, who had dealt with him a few times before and was a very potential descendant of gold. It's just that there are still two great chiefs' biological sons here, and there is almost no hope of inheriting the Hammer of Destruction, but there is still a certain hope of inheriting the position of the wolf lord.
"Young wolf lord, why are you here?" asked Ragus cautiously, without opening the door immediately. As a seasoned veteran, he understands that the more abnormal the situation, the more he must deal with it calmly.
Carusat replied, "I have something to interrogate the captive of the Darkmoon Church. ”
Hearing him say this, Ragus couldn't help but wonder, "Haven't you already been interrogated?"
"I've found two people who know something about the Darkmoon Church this time, and they may be able to interrogate them for more information. Carusat said, then moved out of the way.
Through the small holes, Ragus looked at two men in black robes, their faces shrouded in hoods, looking very mysterious.
"Okay, young wolf lord, please hand me the order of interrogation through the communication hole. Ragus said respectfully, but he didn't open the cell door at all.
Carusat returned to the communication hole and said in a slightly anxious tone: "These two gentlemen have limited time, so they are in a hurry and have not applied for an order. Open the door quickly, don't you even worry about the people I brought?"
"This ...... This ......" Ragus hesitated.
It is strictly forbidden to open the door without an order, this is also the rule, if the superior knows that he opened the door rashly, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.
What's more, Carusat came late at night, God knows what he was going to do. And if he was disguised by someone else, it would be even worse.
When the door of the dungeon is opened, but a prisoner is robbed, I am afraid that I will have to wait to be stripped of my clothes and thrown into the dungeon, and I will be in the company of those prisoners who used to be beaten and scolded, and it is even very likely that he will be killed directly.
With this in mind, Ragus was ready to politely refuse.
At this time, Carusat suddenly took out a white beast fang, handed it through the communication port, and said, "This thing is for you, it is counted as an order." If it doesn't work, then I'll have to wake my father up from his sleep. ”
At the sight of the beast's fangs, Ragus's breathing suddenly became heavy, as if he had seen some rare treasure.
"Wolf King's Fang......" He subconsciously stretched out his hand, took the white beast tooth as smooth as a jewel, and stammered again: "This ...... This...... It's not appropriate......"
Carusat smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I've heard of your bravery and good fighting, but it's just that I didn't get the 'Wolf King's Fang' because of bad luck." Now this matter, I also know that it is not in accordance with the rules, but the matter is urgent, and there is no way to delay it any longer. As for the 'Wolf King's Fang', in my capacity, would it be inappropriate to reward you with one as compensation for this matter?"
After a pause to make sure he understood what he meant, he continued to ask, "Or do you think it would be more appropriate for my father to come and explain to you at this time?" (to be continued......)
