In the evening, Erwin came to the banquet as scheduled.
Xiao Yu took the three beauties, and Grom, and went to have dinner with Erwin with a smile.
"Oh, dear Duke Xiao, hello, this is a small gift from me, it's not a respect." Erwin took out some gifts and gave them to the three beauties.
Xiao Yu said in a very gentlemanly way: "You are too polite, Master Ximu. We are very sorry that you have always been so hospitable. You must have a good time tonight."
"Accompanied by the son of the first marshal of the empire, Xiao Zhantian, and three beauties, I will naturally enjoy myself." People like Erwin are always good at talking.
In order to highlight her extravagance, Xiao Yu unceremoniously booked a huge restaurant, all lit with candles, the dim yellow light against the surrounding glass, it looked romantic and mysterious.
After they sat down, Xiao Yu and Erwin began to chat with each other constantly, and Océlia would help to interject a few words from time to time, teasing and teasing Erwin.
Osilia has never lacked means to deal with lustful nobles. It not only makes the other party feel itchy, but also does not take advantage of it.
Halfway through eating and drinking, Xiao Yu suddenly wiped his mouth reservedly, and said, "Third Young Master, actually, I have something that I've always wanted to say, but I'm too embarrassed to say so."
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Duke Xiao is too polite, we are already friends, aren't we? Is there anything you can't say?"
Xiao Yu looked at Grom, who was loyal and loyal, and said, "You know, I also have some orc guards, ah, they are good at everything, but they like to be brave and ruthless. No, today When I was in the Colosseum, I saw those orcs showing their prestige and defeating two second-level monsters, so they couldn't sit still, and they wanted to go to the Colosseum to show their skills. This matter , I’m afraid I’m going to trouble the third son.”
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin seemed a little surprised, and then he laughed and said, "So that's the case, it's a trivial matter, since Duke Xiao's orc guards also want to show their skills, then I will definitely help arrange it. I don’t know, what kind of opponents do your orc guards want to fight? Is it the orcs who showed their prestige today?”
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "They are also beastmen, and they said that it is not good to fight with their own kind, so they want to find some powerful monsters, or powerful human fighters to fight."
Erwin nodded when he heard this, and said: "The orc race is indeed very united, which is much better than us humans. The orcs we captured would rather be killed than kill each other. Look at us humans, we are still fighting each other everywhere, alas... Since this is the case, then I will arrange it at that time, and I will definitely let the audience see a wonderful game, and at the same time, it will not hurt your orc guards. Show off the glory of Duke Shaw."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately said with joy on his face: "That's it, thank you so much. Speaking of which, Third Young Master, where did you get these orc slaves of yours?"
Erwin smiled slightly when he heard what Xiao Yu said, and said, "My orc slaves were all captured by the Adventurer's Union in the southern Olaer Mountains. It is said that due to the weather this year, the Olael Mountains Whether it's monsters, orcs, or elves, they are not doing well, so many of them migrate to the outskirts of the mountains, and they are easy to be caught."
"Oh, that's how it is." Xiao Yu nodded, remembering the Aurair Mountains, "If I have time, I'll join in the fun and see if I can bring back some orcs and elves, my Ankola Mountains All the orcs and elves in the book have been brought back by me, and there are no more, alas... what I admire most is the demeanor of ancient nobles, orc guards, elf slaves, tsk tsk, that is the real nobleman, so I didn’t do anything else when I was a lord these years, so I went to the Ankola Mountains every day to find orcs, elves, and dwarves. I once had a dream to build a team composed entirely of orcs, elves, and dwarves. Dajun, how majestic it is. Thinking about it makes people yearn."
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin's eyes flashed brightly, and then he said without a trace: "Duke Xiao's idea is probably also the idea of many people. Who doesn't dream of having such a large army, where every race Fighting for yourself is definitely the greatest glory. Even the greatest emperor in human history has never done it, at most he has some foreign guards."
Xiao Yu curled her lips and said, "I know it's hard to do, but I still want to get more orcs to show off. When your adventurer's guild will go to the Olaer Mountains again, remember to If you want to call me, I will also send someone to share a piece of the pie, I hope Master Erwin doesn't mind."
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that you were planning on me too, heh heh, this will be easier to handle."
At the moment, Erwin smiled very gentlemanly and said: "It's natural. Duke Xiao is powerful. With Duke Xiao's help, he can naturally capture more orcs and elves. I am also very willing to cooperate with Duke Xiao."
Xiao Yu immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "That's great, by the way, how many orcs did you get this time? Are there any elves?"
Erwin showed a slightly proud look on his face, and said: "We actually captured more than 500 orc slaves this time, including many female orc slaves. That's all. Duke Xiao is one of our own, so I naturally don't need to hide it. As for the elves, we haven't found them yet."
Xiao Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were so many orc slaves, immediately he showed a look of envy on his face, took a few sips of red wine, and said: "I really envy Mr. Ximu, To be able to get so many orc slaves, I don’t have so many. Now I really want to buy all these orc slaves of Mr. Simlai, I wonder if Mr. Simlai is willing to make a price?”
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin burst out laughing, and said, "Duke Xiao is joking, how can we sell so many orc slaves? My father really wants to train them all as guards, and he can As Duke Xiao said just now, the orc guards are on the side, showing the demeanor of the ancient nobles. By the way, I don’t know what is the secret of Duke Xiao’s training these orcs and elves? You can make them follow you as guards with all their hearts. If there is anything For the tricks of training, I am willing to pay a high price to buy it."
After hearing Erwin's words, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "I'm almost hooked."
Immediately, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "There is indeed a secret to this, and it is a secret of my Xiao family. Back then, my father used to search for orcs everywhere, so that he could use this method of training, but it is a pity that he Fate is bad, and I haven't found many orcs. Now I'm lucky, and I finally found these orcs and elves trained as guards. Naturally, I can't show it to others easily, third son, forgive me."
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin was slightly startled, but his face seemed to be slightly disappointed, and he said, "Oh, so that's the case, then I'm naturally not good at forcing others to make things difficult for me."
Erwin had already secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that he really has some special method. I said, now that the orcs and elves hate humans so much, how could they be willing to become guards. This time, it must not be possible. To get this Xiao Yu to leave Benghazi City, we must get his hands on these methods of training orcs and elves. This is related to the great cause of my father's future hegemony."
Xiao Yu looked at Erwin's appearance, and secretly said in his heart: "This guy seems to have a lot of schemes. It's not easy for me to leave here alive. It turns out that he has already set his mind on me. He It's not Wang Tianhu. Wang Tianhu still took into account the sliver of affection he had with Xiao Zhantian back then, and he also took into account Master Theodore's deterrence, so he didn't dare to do it lightly. But the strength of the Simlai family is much stronger than Wang Tianhu. Quietly Get rid of me, they still dare to take risks."
On the surface, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Actually, I have a way to let the third son have the opportunity to get the secret of my training orcs, and also let me have the opportunity to get the five hundred orc slaves of the third son."
Erwin raised his eyebrows when he heard what Xiao Yu said, and said, "Oh? I don't know what Duke Xiao meant by that?"
Xiao Yu chuckled, and said: "Perhaps the third son has heard that I like to gamble more. I think that a real man must dare to gamble. So, I want to gamble with the third son. If I win, All your orcs belong to me. If I lose, all my orcs will belong to you, and I will tell you the secret method of training these orcs, how about it?"
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin's heart suddenly moved slightly, but after a while, he said: "Hehe, Duke Xiao is very interested, but I don't know how Duke Xiao plans to bet?"
Xiao Yu frowned fiercely, as if extremely embarrassed, and said: "I originally planned to let my orc guards fight with your monsters and human gladiators. If I beat your The orcs belong to me, but now it seems that such a big bet, just such a casual gladiatorial fight, I feel too hasty."
Erwin said in his heart: "Nonsense, of course it's too hasty. Your orc guards beat my gladiator, and you will win all my five hundred orc slaves away. Where is such a good thing? But I have seen it, the two second-tier monsters are not opponents. Although I don’t know how your orc guard is, but looking at this guy, it is definitely not bad. Where can I find a gladiator who can defeat your orc? If you send a monster , is completely out of my control. If I send a powerful fighter, I guess you will not agree."
Erwin said very elegantly: "This is indeed a bit hasty. Because my father values the five hundred orc slaves very much. If I lose casually, I can't bear it."
Xiao Yu nodded, pretending to rub his head, and said: "Yes, it is indeed difficult, but I really want to win these orc slaves. How about this, third son, I heard that the Duchy of Kahn has a group of specially trained The heavy infantry, called the death scythe infantry, are all elites selected from all over the country and trained through secret methods. Each of them has the strength of a first-tier fighter, and some have even reached the second-tier fighter. This time it is said that When the Principality of Kahn annexed the Shituoling, which did not respect the royal way, it only used 500 Death Scythe infantry to defeat the opponent's 5,000-strong army. Is there such a thing?"
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin showed a hint of arrogance on his face, and said: "It's true, that Shituoling doesn't respect the way of kings, and doesn't pay tribute to the Tianshi Dynasty, so naturally we have to crusade, otherwise, this Does the Tianshi Dynasty still have kingly laws? Our Death Scythe infantry has a total of 1,000 soldiers. Last time we dispatched only 500 soldiers, we defeated the elite of 5,000 soldiers and let the follow-up troops flee. , no matter where it is, it is absolutely rare."
Xiao Yu heard that Erwin praised the death scythe infantry so much, smiled slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, your Excellency has so much confidence in the death scythe infantry, why don't you let them join the five hundred orc slaves and the orcs like me?" How about a fight? Let’s see if the orcs are the best, or our human heavy infantry is the best. If the orcs win, it’s my victory. Give me all the orc slaves. If the death scythe infantry wins, it’s okay You win, how about we tell you the secret of training orcs?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's suggestion, Erwin's heart skipped a beat. It's too much to play like this. Once a fight broke out, whether it was the orcs or the Death Scythe infantry, they would definitely suffer great losses. However, they have absolute confidence in the death scythe infantry, and they should have no problem defeating the rabble orcs. Orcs can kill powerful monsters, but they can never defeat well-trained hoplites. At that time, if Xiao Yu really agrees to reveal the secret of training orcs, it will definitely be a great benefit. Orcs can be caught again after they die, but this method is very difficult to obtain.
"Hehe, Duke Xiao really dares to gamble. But for a secret recipe to train orcs, let my death scythe infantry take action. In case of any loss, I can't even explain to my father. These orcs, we always There is a way to adjust it slowly, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be done with the help of Duke Xiao.” Erwin narrowed his eyes and did not give a clear answer. In fact, he naturally knew in his heart that it would not be so easy to come up with a method to train orcs by himself, and once Xiao Yu really agreed to give him this secret method, then he would take advantage of it, but he couldn't easily decide on such a big matter down.
Xiao Yu curled her lips and said: "The third son still thinks that my bet is not big enough, otherwise, I would have already gambled. Since one training secret method is not enough, how about this, how about this dragon, if you win, I lose it to you too."
As soon as Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, he bet on Xiaolong.
Xiaolong suddenly raised his fists in protest.
Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Erwin's heart jumped again, but he still didn't give a clear answer. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Tyrande at this moment.
Xiao Yu looked at Erwin, smiled, and said: "The third son has taken a fancy to me as an elf guard, okay, I'll bet on her too. If you don't agree, I won't bet. However, If I want to add this dragon and elf guard, there must be one more condition."
Erwin immediately said: "What conditions?"
Xiao Yu said indifferently: "I put all my wealth on it, so during the wrestling, I asked me, Xiaolong and my elf guards to also participate in the wrestling."
"What? Duke Xiao, you have to play in person, this is too much fun." Erwin said, but glanced at Tyrande again.
Xiao Yu said: "That's natural. As a person I gamble, I either don't gamble, or I gamble the most. How about it? Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, forget it, I won't gamble."
"I agree." Erwin blurted out.
