An accessory that can tell lies
Zhou Qingfeng was very surprised. He thought to himself that this is not a portable polygraph, and he couldn't help but focus on it. The old knight took it off and handed it over, "Young man, give it to you."
Ah.... How embarrassing to meet each other? I am not coveting you.
"Don't care, accept it." The old knight said softly, "I am the guardian knight of Princess Inisa and swear allegiance to the gods. But this year, my search has been fruitless. You give me today. I am very grateful for the good news."
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know whether he should stretch out his hand or not, the old knight had already put the accessory on his neckline. Look carefully, it is a crystal corsage, small and chic.
"This is a lie-recognition corsage, but it does not always recognize a lie. It depends on the intelligence and perception comparison between you and the liar. If you run into an opponent who is good at cheating, it will not It doesn't work, and even misleads you." The old knight said.
Oops..., I got something from others, it won't work if I don't help.
"Princess Enisa was in a nearby place called Razor Cliff. Alatis detained her in a cave on the cliff. There was a Razor Village under the cliff where a group of villains and bandits lived. Uh..., I It's a person from that village."
Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked down at the corsage. The corsage made no response. He looked at the old knight again and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I lie to you?"
The old knight smiled generously, "There are many mysterious things in this world. Powerful oracles and high-level arcane arts can play the role of prying secrets. As a mortal, I don't expect to see through the inside story of every secret.
This corsage has followed me for decades, but I can make judgments only by looking at your expressions and movements. I know what is credible in your words and what is not credible. Young man, you are not good at lying. continue. "
Zhou Qingfeng's face turned red. He smiled awkwardly, "The gangsters in Razor Village are responsible for keeping Aatis secrets. They will not allow you to climb Razor Cliff. Maybe you can sneak in, but I don't guarantee success.
In addition, the fact that your team carried sky-high gems has spread widely in the Black Forest. A man named McCann gathered a group of robbers, including seven or eight jackals and an equal number of human bandits. The guy is in the front camp, and he plans to attack you tonight.
Oh, right. I just got an orc named Todd from the goblin's hands. That guy is stupid, but he should be able to fight and he is very familiar with the environment here. You can hire him to help with a small amount of money.
That's all the news, don't ask me how I know it. Anyway, I can only lie to you. Next, you can think about what to do? I just asked to help kill the bastard named McCann, and I want to cut him a thousand dollars. "
Members of the cavalry team slowly stepped forward, some were on guard from the outside, and most of them were still around the old knight. After hearing Zhou Qingfeng's description, they were either excited or surprised, and waited for Knight Naser to make a decision.
The old knight held his breath, thought carefully for a while, and asked Zhou Qingfeng a lot of details. Before he made a decision, a loud voice came over and shouted...
"Hey, Victor, I thought you ran away, so you didn't go far. I thought about it and accepted your employment. All you need is food and housing. I can sleep anywhere I want. "
The strong and ugly orcs came over with a bluff, startling everyone in the cavalry. Zhou Qingfeng looked at him and introduced to both parties: "This is Todd. He was caught by a group of goblins because he was drunk."
In front of so many people being exposed by Zhou Qingfeng, Todd cursed impatiently: "It's all to blame for that bastard old Husseus. If I have an axe, I will go and chop him now. And those damn goblins, I will kill one if I see one. One, I will never let it go."
Zhou Qingfeng continued to introduce, "This is the Knight of Nasser." He didn't say any extra words, saving this big mouth from yelling everywhere.
The old knight still wanted to shake his hand with Todd, but the orc shook his head and said, "I don't want to have a relationship with you humans. Your nobles are too hypocritical, the merchants are too treacherous, and the farmers are too timid. By the way, do you have an axe? "
Zhou Qingfeng could only smile in embarrassment at Todd's inconspicuous words. The old knight looked at Zhou Qingfeng, but didn't care about the orc's nonsensical words. Instead, he asked: "Your Excellency Todd, are you familiar with this forest?"
"Of course." Todd said without hesitation, "this is my home."
"Can you do me a favor?" the old knight said.
Todd shook his head, "I don't do anything to help others."
Zhou Qingfeng was still thinking whether he should roll his eyes, but the old knight smiled: "Then let me do you a favor." He turned around and ordered, and the members of the cavalry team took a mountain axe from the carriage.
This is a real big axe, specially used to break down obstacles and open roads in critical areas. It is indispensable for a cavalry to travel in the wild.
Wow... ... !
When the axe was handed to the orc, Todd yelled for joy. He grabbed the axe in his hand and shook the wind. Whistling and shouting, laughing like a child. He danced with stinky sweat before he stopped, and ran to the old knight to get close.
Zhou Qingfeng curiously rushed and shouted: "Orcs will never be slaves."
"Shut up, I have never said that." Todd was anxious, and yelled angrily at Zhou Qingfeng's urn, and then twisted and squeezed his throat at the old knight. "For the sake of giving the axe, you are all good people. No matter who you want to chop, I am willing to help. But I have a bigger appetite, so you need to prepare more food."
The old knight just laughed but was not in the mood to waste time with two teasers. He concealed part of the information from Todd, only saying that he was going to lead a team through Razor Village to Razor Cliff. The gangsters in the village would definitely not let him pass and asked if there were any paths to walk through.
Todd is really familiar with every corner of the Black Forest. He shook his head and said, "Unless you can fly, you must pass through Razor Village if you want to go to Razor Cliff. There are more than 100 villains and thugs in Razor Village, so outsiders will never be allowed to pass through. of.
It's not impossible to sneak in secretly, but the number of people can't be too many. Because those villains are very alert and strong. "
Zhou Qingfeng made a comment, "Maybe it is possible to fake news to draw people out of the village. Just say that millions of precious stones are waiting to be grabbed, they are absolutely like a dog, and they can't stop it."
The idea is simple, but effective. As long as there is enough bait, there is no need to worry that those bastards are not fooled. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng's current conspiracy and trickery can only be on paper, and his ideas are always incorrect in details.
After listening, the old knight directly denied. He led the team into Razor Village'previously' because he didn't have enough information. Now Zhou Qingfeng has almost made everything clear. His opinion is to set fire to the village altogether, which can easily lead to chaos.
Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy, this idea is simpler than enticing the enemy. Zhou Qingfeng originally thought Knight Nasser was a particularly generous person, but now he knows that they should be cruel and unambiguous. So he had no opinion, and followed the cavalry forward.
It was completely dark when the cavalry arrived at the river beach camp due to the delay in the encounter on the road. Zhou Qingfeng wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to surround McCann, who was staying in the campsite and the firepit, and kill him, leaving the bastard to death.
Only when he arrived at the camp, the situation was different from what Zhou Qingfeng had expected. This glade was pitch black, the fire pond in the middle was completely out of flames, and McCann was nowhere to be seen.
Knight Naser went to the firepit and touched it, "Someone has lighted a fire here, but they left not long ago, and they poured water into the firepit to cool down, creating the illusion that no one appeared. Your Excellency Hugo, I am afraid that the McCann you are looking for I noticed something abnormal."
