"Doris."
Lide called her name seriously and asked:
"Are you looking at the official history of your country?"
Doris replied:
"No. It's a booklet sold on the black market. I asked the maid to buy it back. It is said that the whole elves are popular to read this kind of thin picture book. The father once strictly prohibited it from being circulated among the people, but I am under his own pillow. I also found a copy. Doesn’t this just mean that the father wanted to cover up that period of history? The noble elves were given to such lowly creatures...! In short, I don’t want to stay in this wretched place of the demons.”
Lied rubbed his temples, he didn't know what to say.
Should I tell Doris that the paintings on it are not real, but just a kind of shady entertainment
Or should we keep the secret and keep the misunderstanding like this
After much deliberation, Lide patted her on the shoulder and said with a righteous face:
"Yes, that's right! Demons are so terrifying. That demon named Goblin is the natural enemy of your elves! But you don't have to worry, we humans have the kind of old brothers who specialize in killing goblins. Existence, when you return to the elves, you can secretly place an order with me, 10 gold coins for a goblin head. As long as you have money, we can kill all the goblins for you, and we are sure to let your elves The girl will never be in danger again. Don’t ask me why I am so brave, it is a fine tradition of our mankind to draw swords to help when the road is injustice.”
Alaya turned her head away, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she held back her laughter.
She knew that Doris was terrified to death of that demon race—goblins, who were now raised as livestock by her young master in a grandiose way, and would obtain a large amount of materials from them every month. But if you calculate it, a goblin is not even worth a silver coin, which is far from the price quoted by the young master.
But Doris didn't know, she just frowned and said:
"You humans can really kill goblins? Those guys are helpless even if we elves see them."
Lied said:
"Of course. We... Well, we have our own way. Creatures like goblins are really terrifying, but they also have weaknesses. Although we humans are not as good as your elves, we are still small in this respect. I have experience. Of course, the cost is also high, and hunting is quite troublesome, and I am afraid it will be difficult without ten gold coins."
Doris snorted:
"I don't know how your human currency is calculated, but if it is gold, we elves have plenty. It is trivial to give you a few gold mines. The background of the elves is beyond the imagination of you inferior races."
Lide rubbed his hands, with an unprecedentedly good attitude:
"Yes, yes, how can I compare with you. Then let's make a deal?"
Doris stretched out her hand to block it, and said:
"Wait."
The smile on Lied's face froze.
Doris stared at Lid for a while, then smiled and said:
"... I always feel that you, a shameless human being, are lying to me."
Li De scratched his head, he didn't expect this girl to be so stupid, so he came to his senses.
The smile on Doris' face disappeared, and she said:
"Are you going to make a deal with me today, and refuse to admit it tomorrow? Goblins are so scary, I don't believe that you humans dare to send people to die. You have no proof, you have to make a written statement with me! When the time comes Whoever repents will have his soul burned forever, never, ever—"
"puff."
Alaya and Lied laughed at the same time.
Doris immediately asked:
"What are you laughing laughing?!"
Alaiya turned her head, her face had already changed into an indifferent face, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but rise a little.
Lied explained:
"She thinks it's funny. In this wilderness, who has nothing to do with a pen and paper. If you want to make a written statement, you have to wait until you return to Yuxi City, right?"
Doris asked Lied again:
"Then what are you laughing at?"
With a sullen face, Lid replied:
"I laughed at why I didn't meet you sooner. If I had known that your elf girls were in such dire straits, I would have struck out hard and taught them a lesson, headed by goblins, orcs, dwarves, piranhas, etc. Fu's evil forces. I can't wait to sign an agreement with you now, to uphold justice, it is my duty!"
Doris nodded and said:
"Then wait until you return to Yuxi City before signing. Anyway, I am not afraid of your regrets. Since you humans have a way to kill goblins, I will give out 20 or 30 gold coins at that time. There must be a large number of people." Willing to do things for the palace."
Alaya smiled again.
But this time she restrained herself well.
At least it looks serious.
Doris asked:
"Then can I go back to Yuxi City now?"
Lide immediately shook his head and said:
"No. Business is business, the demons will not retreat, and we will not return to Yuxi City. This is something that Alayya and I decided a long time ago. You have also seen that as long as Alaya and I are outside, the demons will stay away." They will continue to send troops to encircle and suppress us. The longer it takes, the more the demons can't let it go. If Yuxi City can win a few battles at this time and cause some trouble for the demons, their generals will naturally go the other way Lu, is to encircle and suppress me with all my strength, and exchange me for Yuxi City to surrender."
Doris stomped heavily:
"I really don't understand—"
After Lide finished speaking, he threw the luggage behind his back to Doris and said:
"Okay. I'll leave this bag to you for safekeeping."
Doris came to fruit in a hurry and hugged her tightly to her chest.
Then he realized that he still had to do coolies by himself, so he immediately put on a disdainful expression.
The group continued to walk westward, and Lide even felt for a moment that if he continued walking like this, sooner or later he would be able to write a new Journey to the West with deep understanding. Alaiya is a senior martial artist with strong martial arts skills, and you can call her when you are undecided; she is a monk who keeps fighting with words; Doris is a simple and honest third junior brother. It's a pity that I didn't bring the little slime, otherwise the second senior brother would also arrange it.
The forest is very quiet, only the sound of the wind. There was no sign of the demons in this area.
Lied touched his chin and said to Alaya:
"Speaking of which, Alaya, do you feel that something is wrong with the demons?"
Alaya shook her head lightly and asked:
"What happened, sir?"
Lide glanced at the east, frowned and thought for a while, and said:
"We have been coming to the Demon Race for a while. It shows that we encountered the vanguard army of the Demon Race in the due west of Yuxi City, and then we continued to go north, and we also went west when we were blocked, but generally speaking, we are the same as before. The route we took when we came to the Demon Race to fight the autumn wind is similar, logically speaking, the east of us is now Zhaochen’s territory.”
Alaya nodded.
Lid narrowed his eyes and said:
"That's what's wrong. Whether it's Gobrang or Lirenji, they are essentially in charge of the battle in Yuxi City. If they are the two coaches, it is normal to start a war against Yuxi City. But this time the demons sent troops. The scale obviously exceeded our expectations. If this is the case, why do you still want to fight against us in Yuxi City? Why don’t you go north to fight Zhaochen, and enter the hinterland of mankind from Zhaochen? Since we went north, we have never had any contact with If any demon army on the Eastern Expedition encounters them, it means that they have no plan to invade Zhaochen at all, and it is clear that they are coming to our Yuxi City. Although it can also be explained by the tactics of concentrated breakthroughs, I still feel that it is not So right."
