[It doesn't make sense to reason with a robber, because he is a robber. - Flying Monkey 26th in the 146th year of the 4th Age of Guangming]

After three days of meetings, I can finally feel at ease, and I don't have to worry about this winter, the manor has gradually entered a state of self-operation, and the management talents are constantly improving.

"Knock knock!"

However, fate likes to joke with you, and I was just thinking that I could finally enter a leisurely and simple life again, and the Frost Giant Spider who was in charge of guarding the perimeter sounded the alarm.

"Vivien, what's going on?" I immediately picked up the communicator made by the dwarves and asked the angel leader in charge of air patrol.

"My lord, it was a group of Ding Yu and a group of Centaurs who were fighting, and as a result, one of the Ding Yu people fled into the vicinity of our manor."

"Ding Yu clan? What race is that? Bring people over. ”

Soon I saw what Vivien called the Ding Yu clan.

This is a humanoid with large wings, at first glance it is thought to be an angel, but his wings are larger, already accounting for more than half of his body, almost dragged to the ground, and the feathers are somewhat variegated, like impure swan wings, the corners of the eyes are also covered with fine colored feathers, the ears are smaller than humans, and the other appearance is almost indistinguishable from angels.

"What's your name? Why are you fighting us Centaurs......"

"My lord, it is not the Centaur clan of our manor who is fighting with the Ding Yu clan, but a centaur clan from outside!" Wei Wei'an knew that I had made a mistake and quickly reminded him.

"Oh, that's my mistake; This warrior of the Ding Yu clan, what is the matter with you coming to our manor? ”

"My lord, I'm here to ask the owner of this manor for help."

"I'm the owner of the manor, please tell me something!"

"Respected powerhouse, please save our Ding Yu clan ......"

"I'm sorry, we don't have the obligation and ability to help anyone, please go back!"

"My lord, I heard that there is another team of Centaurs, what do they look like?" Goki asked out of nowhere.

"Goji, you're just in time, I haven't seen the centaur tribe yet, let's go and take a look; This Mr. Ding Yu, please go back, our manor is not capable of helping a stranger! ”

"My lord, sit on my back, and we'll go right away!" Goji was unreasonably excited.

"Please help us, this lord! Please help us through this winter, our kingdom is withering, we can't survive this winter, please help us, the mysterious kingdom will definitely repay your kindness! ”

"Mystic Nation? In the land of the Sleeping Mountains? “

I stopped, and I couldn't help but think in my heart: if this is a country, not an ordinary battle for resources, then I can't sit idly by, a crisis in a country involves too many things, and there may be large-scale deaths, this is not what I want to see, maybe it will also involve the management of the world of Aoguang, I must be cautious.

"Yes, my lord! Our mysterious country is in a hidden valley more than 200 miles north of the Centaur settlement. ”

"Gogi, do you know this place?"

"My lord, my lord, he didn't lie, come on up, come on." Goji was still so excited that she even began to stomp her feet on the spot, ready to go.

I saw that she was so anxious and excited that I couldn't figure out the situation, so I rolled over and sat on her back.

"Hahahaha, I'm an adult mount, I'm an adult mount, hahaha!" Goji was so excited that she stood up with her two hind legs, kicking happily in the air with her two front legs.

I smiled wryly: it turns out that because of this, this Goji is really boring.

"Goji, are you so happy when I mount? Isn't there a shame to be felt? I asked, curious.

"No, no, my lord, being your mount is Goji's greatest wish, and it is the greatest honor of Goji and even our team - hahaha, Peng Fen, Peng Fen, you see me as an adult's mount, hahaha!" Just as a Centaur passed by, Goji couldn't wait to show off, and the smile on her delicate face was even brighter, and her proud appearance was eager for the whole world to see this scene immediately.

I couldn't refute her face, so I waved to Peng Fen cooperatively, and then gently stroked Ge Ji's back and said, "Ge Ji, let's go quickly, otherwise it's too late for fear of an accident, let's go quickly!" ”

"Okay, please sit tight!"

After saying that, Goji rushed out of the manor like the wind, and shuttled through the forest like the wind, and it didn't take long to rush to the vicinity of the two teams that were still clashing.

"Stop! We're coming, stop! ”

As soon as Goji stopped, he shouted proudly at the two teams.

"Goji?! It's great that you're alive - Buchard will be very happy to know the news! In the group of centaurs who had stopped fighting, a young centaur was looking at Goki happily.

"Happy? Phew! Do you still have the face to be happy, are you happy to use us as bait and bargaining chips again? This time—don't you think! Goji said with a gloomy face, gritting her teeth at the last few words.

I can't figure out the situation, it stands to reason that the fellow saw the fellow with tears in his eyes, why did this Ge Ji and this Centaur team look tense?

I asked Goji in confusion, "Goji, what's going on?" Aren't you of the same race? ”

Goji said with an angry face:

"My lord, I can't tell you about this for a while, Goji asks your lord to rescue those centaur sisters, we don't have to pay attention to the male centaurs, they're all brutes!"

I was even more puzzled, but since Goji had this request, I believed her, she must have an important reason.

I didn't think much about it before I agreed to Gogi.

Then he asked Ge Ji: "What about the people of this Ding Yu clan?" Do you know each other? ”

At this time, a crisp voice came from the Ding Yu clan and shouted out to Ge Ji with a crying voice: "Sister Ge Ji, help us, this group of men and horses wants to steal the food we have found so hard, I, I, our country, woo-woo-ha, it's almost withering-please help us-woo-"

"Your Excellency, your Excellency, it's Imira, she's my friend, she's a druid, and like Mia, she's descended from the Elves; My lord, Goji asked the manor to help them! ”

Since it's Goji's friend and Goji's request, this favor must be helped.

"Zhuzhu, catch those male centaurs, you can't let any of them go."

Suddenly, white spider webs captured dozens of centaurs in the blink of an eye.

"Goji, you traitor, you will not die well, and the Temple of Light will not let you go!"

Hearing that it was the Temple of Light again, the anger in my heart instantly rose, I turned over and got off the back of the Goji horse, jumped and landed heavily in front of the celebrity horse man, my eyes were full of anger and slapped out, and I said in a low voice: "That is to say, you - are also the lackeys of the Temple of Light, since this is the case, Lao Tzu will not kill you, let your God of Light decide your life or death, see if a disabled centaur will still be selfless in the Temple of Light, will it be as they say, the God of Light will not abandon any believer!" ”

After I finished speaking, I did not hesitate to cut off the hands and feet of all the centaur males, so as not to be able to be cured.

"Get out of here - go back and tell your master, it's my Behemoth Manor Tolai who did it, let him come back and continue to anger labor, labor and management wait!"

After the matter was settled, I sat down with Goji and led a few women and horses and the team of the Ding Yu clan back to the manor.

On the way back to the Giant Beast Manor, the people led by the Ding Yu clan who had come to the manor for help all followed silently, and as soon as they arrived at the range of the Giant Beast Manor, the Ding Yu clan leader suddenly stopped in front of Ge Ji, knelt down in front of Ge Ji and shouted loudly: "Honorable strong man, Yue Yu once again begs you to help us in the mysterious realm, we will definitely repay your great kindness!" ”

I was a little irritated and said, "Get up, if you kneel down again and labor and management don't even think about it, you will be annoyed one by one!" ”

Seeing that the other party got up with a gloomy expression, I drove Goji to move forward again.

I haven't walked on the road of the Giant Beast Manor for a long time, and at this moment walking on the construction site of the second defense project, I suddenly feel that the scale of the Giant Beast Manor has expanded many times, and the houses have basically been completed, but the final renovation work is still being done.

With the implementation of the all-weather shift system, it not only ensures sufficient rest, but also rapidly promotes the progress of the project, and ensures the quality of the building; In particular, with the addition of giants, the speed of transporting large objects has increased exponentially, coupled with the substantial improvement of elven civilization and dwarven civilization, it has also increased the efficiency of material mining and processing by several grades.

For the design of elves and dwarves, I am very satisfied, each building is considered beautiful and very comfortable, that is, it fits the natural beauty and is full of artistic sense, the structure is simple and mysterious, simple with magic, and the face is full of different world style, walking on such a street, as if you are in the world of swords and magic, magic and fairy tales - satisfied.

The most satisfying thing for me is that each building is not high, the highest has five floors, the lowest has three floors, and it also has two basements; The most important point is that they have a large open space around each house, with this open space, the owner can plant his favorite plants in front of and behind the house, and can also raise his favorite animals, and can also be used for training, gatherings or something, which is very humane.

In this second defense area, a number of garden squares, a large market area, hotels, hotels and a series of living and entertainment places are also thoughtfully designed; To put it simply, the Second Defense Zone is more like a large township open to the outside world.

In the past, when Otam and Rebecca were there, she basically took turns patrolling the construction site, but now it is the same without them; Originally, Alice was left to inspect the construction site, but now she does not need her to inspect at all, but is attracted by everyone's enthusiasm for work and directly participates in the construction of the project.

Sitting on Goji's back and looking all the way, I didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with this second defense zone, on the contrary, I was very satisfied.

"Goji, how is that part of the back mountain built? Do you know the situation? ”

"Master, the construction of the back mountain is similar to what you see here, but the progress is a little slower, but it can be basically completed in the spring of next year; Everyone is now discussing whether to build a bridge on the cliff in the back mountain to link to the opposite side, because through the information sent back by the Angels of the Holy Light, the resources in the opposite forest are very rich, and it can lead directly to the woodland of the ancient treemen, there are many mysterious tribes in it, and the hydra that bit Zofia is in the swamp behind the forest. Goji still seemed to be in a state of some excitement to introduce me.

"Oh! Is there such a story? Then build one, will it be difficult to have resources and technology? "I selectively ignored Gogi's state and cared about engineering.

"Resources are basically no problem, the biggest problem is still the technical aspect; For no one in the manor had ever had the experience of building such a large bridge, and even the dwarves who were the best at building it did not have the skills and experience to do so. ”

"Okay, I see! The technical problems of this bridge will be left to me to solve, and you can do your job seriously! “

"Master, it's here! Would you like to sit on Goji a little longer? Goji asked me with her eyes wide open, looking very expectant.

"Hehehe, you stupid girl, aren't you tired at all? In the future, when I walk around on land, I will sit on you and set off - this is okay, otherwise you will be tired from riding for a day, and you will not dare to carry it in the future, hehe! I joked with her.

"No, no, it's Goji's honor to let adults ride, and she will definitely not get tired!"

After listening to it for a while, I didn't dare to talk nonsense, but I still patted Goji on the back and smiled:

"Hehe, that's good, but that's all for today, I've worked hard for you, go and get busy with your going!"

"Okay, thank you master for making Goji your mount, Goji is always at your call!"

After explaining that Goji had settled the few women he had brought back, and had sent off the enthusiastic Goji, I put on a straight face in the central garden in front of the manor building and began to deal with the group of people from the mysterious country.

With a serious expression, he said, "Everyone—thank you very much for your trust in the Behemoth Manor; However, our estate does not want to help for free, so please tell us what benefits you can bring to our estate? Then we will think about how we can help you. ”

Several people from the Mysterious Realm were very emotional and rushed to speak: "My lord, although our Mysterious Realm is seriously withered, it is rich in gem minerals, mercury minerals, precious metal ores and magic metals, which we can use as an exchange. ”

"Yes, Lord of the Manor, we can pay you a gratuity, much, much more!"

"Lord of the Manor, please help us, we have a lot of magic metals and gems, as well as all kinds of rare metals, you can choose, please help us!"

I do have some excitement when I hear these minerals, mainly these minerals, and the dwarves and elves must be interested, one likes metals, and the other likes gems; But on second thought, none of this seemed to be of much use to the estate.

So I thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Well, we don't seem to need these things in our manor, but we are quite short of manpower, and I think you seem to need to solve the problem of food and clothing, so you might as well come and work for our manor."

Oh, by the way, we will not force you to do things that you will not do, nor will we treat you badly, you will have what the people of our manor have, what they eat, you will also eat, in short, when you come to our manor, we will not only ensure your safety, in addition to food and shelter, but also pay you the corresponding salary, and will not restrict your freedom, you can leave at any time, and you will not be forced. ”

When these people from the mysterious realm heard this, they all stared at me with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.

"Dear Lord, is what you said true? Can we come over? Can you enjoy the same treatment as the people of the manor? ”

"Yes, not only that, since you are not a long-term resident of our estate, you will not have any assets and income from the estate, so you will also have a salary, which can be paid for by the things you need, whether it is goods, resources, currency, or asking the estate to provide you with equivalent help, these can be."

"Okay, great, we are willing to work for you, as long as the respected strong lord can help our kingdom through the current difficulties, we are willing to become your vassals of the lord of the manor and grow together with your manor."

"Hehe, I can't agree to the vassal's matter yet, we have to know what difficulties you are encountering first? Otherwise, it will be very embarrassing and unfair to you if our manor can't do it. ”

At this time, the druid was a little emotional and said, "Lord of the Manor, our kingdom has run out of magic power, so the plants have begun to wither, and the people have become weak, and even eating has become problematic; But with you, my lord, I feel a powerful magic that I have never seen before, so can I take the liberty of inviting you to visit our kingdom? Help us see if we can solve the problem of depletion of magic power, the creatures of the mysterious realm cannot be nourished by magic, otherwise there will be a large area of death. ”

"Yes, yes, I hope that the strong man will go to our kingdom to see if there is a way to solve the magic problem?"

"To your kingdom? Can you let people enter your kingdom as you like? "I thought that the so-called mysterious country should be the kind of hidden country that rejects all outsiders, and it is not mysterious at all to hear what they mean.

"This?" A group of people listened and did not know how to answer.

"Lord of the Manor, it doesn't matter anymore, as long as we can solve the problem of our magic depletion, even the most ordinary human, we are willing to let him in, let alone a great and powerful powerhouse like you." Druid Imira's urgent tone made it clear that the mysterious kingdom was in real trouble.

"Imira is right, as long as it can help us restore the magic spring of the kingdom, we can agree to anything!" The other Ding Yu clan was also so excited that he began to speak recklessly.

I'm really speechless about this gibberish, "We will agree to all conditions"?

I slandered in my heart: If you want your mysterious kingdom, you will give it too? What a curse.

I can only remind: "This friend, I advise you not to say this again after the Behemoth Manor, otherwise you won't know how your mysterious kingdom will be gone." ”

"I'm sorry! Dear Lord, I apologize for my gaffe and thank you for your great heart! ”

I don't like the way they talk, most of the time they are talking about irrelevant things, every sentence has to be flattering, only the druid is more direct, and it doesn't waste my time, and finally I can't help but say: "That's all for today, I don't like nonsense, tomorrow we will set off to your kingdom to see; If I think I can help you, then our agreement is officially established, otherwise, I can only say sorry! ”

I didn't want to take people with me to the mysterious country, I just wanted to ride Goji and set off directly, Alice kept asking to follow but was stopped by me, I don't know how long it will take to go to the mysterious country, and during the time I left, the Behemoth Manor couldn't be presided over without someone who could calm the field, so Alice had to stay.

However, I still couldn't refuse the concern of everyone in the manor, and finally brought the fairy Mia, the angel Karan, the elf Yvonne, the dwarf Efarin, the dragon goblin Urusu, and the human Margogi; In addition, there are two saint-level demonic beasts: the Moon Demon Wolf and the Giant Eagle.

As soon as the team came out, more than a dozen people in the mysterious country were scared and trembled, which made me a little baffled; It was only after the angel Karan explained to me that I understood a little; Karan said: "Although they know that our Giant Beast Manor is very powerful, they can't imagine that a few people who are randomly pulled out are all high-level late stage or even saint-level, and even god-level archangels have them, and this team is a top team in any corner of the continent." ”

After hearing this, I scoffed a little, thinking that these guys would only be alarmist, and secretly thought: I still have a delusional desire to defeat those powerful countries in a mere manor, what nonsense.

The two saint-level demonic beasts had already explored their way before the team set off.

Considering the speed of the team's advance, the rest of the team chose a mount from the pasture each, except for me riding Goji; Angel Kahlan chose Thunder Tiger, Elblin Mia chose the giant deer, Elf Evne chose the unicorn, the artisan dwarf Farin chose the ironback war bear, and the dragon goblin Urusu chose the Bighorn antelope.

Since your team has mounts to increase your speed, you can't leave a dozen people in the mysterious realm behind, right? So they could only be temporarily equipped with a dozen horses.

Although I also wanted to equip them with some magical beasts to serve as temporary mounts, they were so bad that they either did not dare to approach these magical beasts, or were disliked by them, and in the end they could only be paired with a few strong horses; However, according to the people of the manor, these horses are not ordinary horses, they are also fifth-level magical beast breeds: stone armor foals; I took a closer look, and there were really some hard and rough gray scales on the horse's body, and there were actually two fangs showing out of the horse's mouth.

At that time, I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart: who did all this meow? Is it so hard for labor and management to just want some normal species? Will you die if it's simpler? Give me all these things that I don't have, it's annoying!

But I want to think about it in my heart, scold and scold, and I don't bother to change things that have become facts, as long as they are happy, I am not surprised.

The journey to the mysterious country is about seven days, and the place is more than 200 kilometers in a straight line to the northeast of the Behemoth Manor, and it is said to be in a hidden mountain forest; The rough mountain trail along the way greatly increased the difficulty of our team's progress, but the location of this mysterious country is relatively close to the western border of the Bright Empire, so the road will not be peaceful as I expected; This also shows that several people in the mysterious country are indeed forced to be helpless, otherwise they would not have run so far, and it is a place full of unknown factors to find supplies.

After two days of walking, about a third of the way, we had to pass through a long, narrow canyon with steep vertical peaks on both sides, and I received an alert from a giant eagle in the sky ahead.

The team continued to move forward quickly, and it wasn't long before they heard a reminder from the druid Imira in the team:

"My lord, the canyon ahead is the lair of a group of robbers, we better go around it."

I asked Imira, who was running side by side, curiously, "How did you get through before?" ”

"Honorable Strongman, we flew from the sky before." A male Ding Yu man said with some smugness.

Seeing the wings of this Ding Yu clan, I remembered that they could fly, and I had ridden a griffin over when I knew it, and it seemed that I had thought of them too hard before.

Before I could make a decision, the bandits seemed to be unable to wait to come out and show their faces.

"Whoa—"

A sharp arrow stuck in the grass a few meters in front of the team.

"Stop! Go any further, and an arrow will be shot at you! A stern warning came from the peak.

"Stop!" I stopped the group and tried to communicate with the robbers in front: "Friend in front, we have no ill intentions, can you make it easier for us to pass?" We can pay some tolls. ”

With that, I got off Goji's back, took out a small box of gold coins, and opened the lid.

"In addition to these gold coins, plus the demonic beasts under your seat will be handed over to us, we can consider letting you go!" A leader-like man carrying a large knife disproportionate to his height replied arrogantly.

"My friend doesn't seem to give much face, his appetite is a little big, and his appearance is too ugly, so be careful to overdo it!" I was not happy with the greed of the other party.

Not only that, but this group of robbers seems to have eaten us, not giving us any chance, and directly ordering an attack.

"Hahaha-just a few miscellaneous fish? Hahaha - archers, crossbowmen, don't let any of them go, we have eaten this group of miscellaneous fish, and a large team rushed over with labor and capital! Hahaha-"

It seems that the old saying is true: people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

If it weren't for something important, I would have wanted to fight these bandits, but I decided to take a detour so as not to lose time.

"U-turn, let's take a detour!"

After speaking, he whistled and notified the giant eagle in the sky.

However, this annoying group of robbers was determined to capture us, and rushed out of the canyon a team of 100 men, riding horses and dusty horses, and rushing towards us quickly, the distance of 300 meters was still too short for this group of robbers, and they seemed to have long been accustomed to plundering, and where we turned our direction, some obstacles suddenly appeared, which affected our progress, and this group of robbers soon rushed to us, and began to surround us, and their mouths kept cheering.

The leader circled around my team, and said with great pride: "Hahaha, run, keep running, where else can you run to the territory of labor and management?" ”

I didn't hurry and said: "Friend, leave a line for doing things and see each other in the future, don't do too much!" “

"Hahaha-absolutely? Labor and management are done today, how can you drop? Up, the women are captured alive, and the men are all killed, hahaha-"

My face was suddenly very ugly, I never imagined that this group of robbers would be so vicious, leaving no way to live, the anger was also ignited, the killing intent in my heart suddenly rose, and I said coldly: "Don't keep your hands, kill!" ”

"Hahaha - the little rabbit will ......"

As soon as I heard the arrogant tone of the bandit leader, I was so unhappy that I slashed his neck with a bolt of magical air, and said disdainfully:

"That's a lot!"

I thought that these bandits were very powerful, but I didn't expect that at the same time as I cut off the bandit leader, my team had already carried out the battle to the end, which made me think that I had a delusion, and after carefully seeing that the enemy was really all lying motionless, I really couldn't figure out how to nag:

"How dare you be so arrogant with such garbage?"

"Master, do we still have to take a detour?" After the robbers were eliminated, Mia came over and asked.

"Honorable Lord, let's go and check it out first." The captain of the Ding Yu clan said, I have never been able to tell who is who among the Ding Yu clan, but this captain is still relatively easy to recognize, because the color of his feathers reminds me of the night owl, and I remember that his name is Yaremia.

"Okay Aremia, you take a few people to investigate, if there are still many people on the other side, then we will take a detour, don't waste time."

At the same time, I also used a whistle to inform the eagle to cooperate with the investigation.

This small whistle was specially made by the dwarves, and humans and humanoids could not hear any sound, but birds could hear it from thousands of miles away, which was a masterpiece of Ling, and it was very convenient to use.

The results of the investigation were quickly returned. There are not many people in the canyon, and it should be the main force of this group of robbers who have just come out, so after we exterminate them, there are only dozens of robbers left in the lair.

"Karan, Yvonne!" I shouted.

"In!"

"You guys are fast and follow me as a striker, and the rest will follow!"

The distance of about three hundred meters was really not a distance for Goji, and he entered the canyon in one breath, and the robber archers and crossbowmen did not have time to react, and before they could make the next move, we rushed to them and stabbed the sword in their hands into the heart without mercy.

Karan and Evene blew like the wind, and the enemy fell to the ground one by one like wheat being harvested; Goki was also not slow, and I didn't have to make a move on her horse, and she took care of all the enemies.

I found these three women to be really strong, fighting like killing machines, and being a nightmare for the enemy everywhere they went.

This unexpected battle went unexpectedly well.
