Bingtis's statement is really interesting: she is going to play in someone else's fortress for two days, and when she said that, she was quite arrogant and domineering. I think the three recruiting officers haven't drawn out their long swords yet, which proves that their quality is really good. Of course, it is also possible that they didn't take what Bingtis said seriously at all. They probably only thought that Sister Bing was messing things up Bar.
But I know that this female hooligan is serious: she really plans to put aside our itinerary tomorrow and go to visit someone else's fortress.
Considering that Bingtis seems to be out of capriciousness, but in fact she has never delayed her business, maybe she really has some special considerations in this plan, so I nodded slightly, expressing that I don't have much opinion. Going to the imperial capital or going to the dark moon is not in a hurry for a day or two. Contacting the knights who are about to participate in the war against the dark moon can probably also understand the situation of the war from the side.
The red-haired royal sister named Anna ignored Bingtis, turned her head and continued to discuss the conscription with the old village chief, with a look of putting business efficiency first, Bingtis suddenly became angry, and made two A big fireball came and threw them in turn: "Can't understand people's language, right? How long have you been delaying this shit? If you really want to solve the problem quickly, let's start now. We can pack up and talk to you now." Go back to the fortress. Seeing how hard it is for you to pull out a strong man under the name of officers and soldiers, you deserve to be an Iron Knight."
Then she looked at the old village chief: "By the way, what does the iron knight do?"
The old village head was taken aback: "Um... The National Knights Order stipulates that the first level of knights who have just changed from privates to knights is an iron knight... You don't even know this? Oh, by the way, you are a conjurer from a non-mainstream urban-rural junction on."
Bingtis: "..." At the beginning, she made up a non-mainstream urban-rural fringe conjurer, but the old village head didn't understand what this sentence meant, so they took it as a "term" in the conjurer community. Remember, now the female hooligan was directly tricked by herself.
The three recruiting officers couldn't care about anything else at this time, and the red-haired Yujie didn't even pursue the topic of "Iron Knight" which seems to be very sensitive to her (according to the situation just now, these three words should be quite irritating to her. ), she glanced at Bingtis in a daze: "Senior conjurer?"
"Super," Bingtis extinguished the fireball casually, "If it doesn't work, you can use a few of us to do business when you go back. Let's say you met a few free mercenaries on the road, and then the conscription in Pinewood Village was delayed. Anyway, I guess Considering that such a small village does not have much influence compared with the garrison of your entire fort, you really think that without the fifteen strong men here, your fortress will not be able to support it."
Freelance mercenaries, I have heard of this before, they travel around the world, possess certain force and organization, but do not belong to any adventurous occupations controlled by the government, they can be regarded as a type of people that will appear in many chaotic worlds, Of course more in this world. Now as the Dark Moon War is approaching, many free mercenaries are also actively participating in the defense lines around the world inspired by the righteousness of mankind (making money), the safety of the world (making money), and the integrity of soldiers (making money). Because this group of people has no organizational discipline and their fighting methods are all kinds of strange, naturally they cannot be regarded as "soldiers" who have been recruited, but they can also be regarded as a new force that cannot be ignored. I think the rulers of the people on the ground must still welcome these new forces: I didn't expect Bingtis to make up an identity for us with a random nonsense...
At this time, I couldn't help but look at Pandora, because I still remembered that when I just met her not long ago, this girl mentioned that if the leader of the empire "commits" to join other forces, it will be considered that the force has declared war on the empire. So I wondered if "joining the army" as a free mercenary pretending to be a free mercenary out of mission needs counts as the aforementioned "sensitive situation", but Pandora didn't have any expression on her face. There is no workaround.
"Is there a level of super among conjurers?" Anna touched the handsome elf man next to him, and the latter looked at his companion helplessly: "So your brain... forget it. I don't want to tell you. This conjurer... Ma'am, you and your companion are planning to go to the fortress to help?"
His gaze was still on Pandora and Viska involuntarily. I know it must be suspicious to bring the two children to save the world, but without waiting for others to prompt, Viska also made a big "fireball", Pandora Then he hesitated for a while, and rubbed out a "fireball" bigger than Viska with a wooden face. The two little girls showed the two scorching plasma clusters to others as if they were holding small leather balls. Said: "Warning you, don't say that my sister and I are children, I am older than you combined, if you want to talk nonsense, I will put this in your mouth..."
Pandora and Viska are taking the technological route, and of course they don’t know any spells, arcane fireballs, but there is not much difference between technology and magic itself, and it doesn’t take much effort to simulate fireballs with their abilities: then The two scorching red balls are actually two plasma air masses. The appearance should not be much different from real fireballs, but the power is unknown. Anyway, it must be stronger than normal fireballs.
The three recruiting officers looked dumbfounded at the two little girls who could make big fireballs, and the expressions on their faces should be unbelievable. Because I am often with a bunch of non-standard creatures, I have long lost my normal power level cognition, and I don’t know what level an instant fireball is, and I don’t know what it means to be able to instant fireballs in this world. At this time, I couldn't help but murmur: Did the two short winter melons go too far
Bingtis patted the heads of the two 1.2 meter heads, and said nonsense: "You see, they are also senior conjurers. Let me tell you, these two are old-timers, but it was caused by the loss of energy control when studying conjurations." Their bodies have shrunk like this, but they are actually bigger than you, and their average height before shrinking was 1.7 meters."
With two sounds of "bang bang", the fireballs in the hands of Pandora and Viska more than doubled... Sister Bing really deserves to be Sister Bing, who fooled the two problem children invisibly. Favorability should be full in an instant.
Of course, the three recruiting officers would not "take their heads and worship", but they immediately showed admiration and awe to the three Fireball God Cultists in front of them. They did not question Bingtis's rhetoric. Loss of control leads to body mutation" or "conjurers have a long lifespan" are all acceptable things in this world, which proves that Bingtis is indeed a thick and thin guy. A Conjurer's Guild would have lurked into this world—if there was such a department.
"Then our conscription mission..." The burly man with the square head and big face finally remembered that he was a recruiter, and couldn't help mentioning this again at this time, but this time before Bingtis got mad, he was kicked by Anna. With a kick: "So Joseph, you are an elm lump! With your adaptability, you will still be an iron knight fifteen years later!"
These three friends from the same hometown who have only been promoted to one level after joining the army for 15 years took turns to use the scars of the "Iron Knight" to expose each other's shortcomings. It is more pleasing to the eye.
What Bingtis said earlier was correct: Pine Forest Village is just an inconspicuous small border settlement. Although the knights of the three kingdoms were ordered to come here to recruit troops, it is unknown whether this place exists in the eyes of the generals of the Gondor Empire. , the conscription mission here may not be a matter that can be taken care of, and I am afraid that no one will come to urge it if it is delayed for a while. But how many conjurers can be brought back this trip is different: according to my observation, conjurers should belong to high-end professions in this world, and they are probably at the same level as missile launchers in the army.
"That's how it is," Joseph nodded to the old village chief, "The conscription in your village can be postponed for a few days, but it's just a postponement. After all, the order from above has been issued, and we are now using the name of introducing free mercenaries. The conscription in your village has been put on the back burner for the time being, you still have to mobilize the villagers in the next two days, hurry up and submit the list..."
The old village head nodded again and again, and then looked at us gratefully. Bingtis waved her hand carelessly: "Stop talking nonsense, this is not helping, we originally planned this too, as for you... just enjoy a few more days of security Let’s live, it’s really not easy to sleep peacefully in troubled times, but don’t worry too much, maybe, this troubled world will end inexplicably—don’t think about the last sentence if you don’t understand it, this is our “inside” thing."
From Bingtis' words, I know that the female hooligan is ready to directly intervene in the so-called Dark Moon War. If that goddess is not successful, she, the real goddess, doesn't seem to mind ending this kind of muddled and meaningless war with her own hands. And this is exactly what I think: Although it is said that war is the driving force for the advancement of a civilization, I really don't see any "motive force" in this dark moon war that periodically consumes population and resources. It's a weird stalemate, it's good to end it soon, I'm still waiting to find the artifact.
As for the villagers of Songlin Village, let's just count them as lucky. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the conscription for a few days later has little meaning at all. Using the logic of the apostles of Xiling, it is: why do you have to delay what you have to do sooner or later? Isn't wasting time one of the great sins? But in fact, this is a strange characteristic of people. Even if they are destined, they always feel that it is good to enjoy a second more stable life. The last day of summer vacation is to go to bed before twelve o'clock...
Just when I thought the matter was over, the big fool suddenly interjected: "Then I still want to go with you."
The old village chief and I put our curious eyes on the big man at the same time. The latter still had a naive expression on his face, but his words were very organized: "According to what you said, the village will still be closed in a few days." Conscription? I definitely have to go when the time comes, so it’s better to leave early than late, and if I go to you first and prove that I can beat fifteen people, will your commander not want more people here?”
Who says stupid is stupid? Doesn't he understand it
But there is something he doesn't understand: the big man didn't realize that the conscription in Pine Forest Village is no longer important, and Bingtis led the two big fireball cultists to divert the recruiter's attention...
Because the big fool also wanted to follow, we were delayed for half a day. In the end, many people, including the village chief, gathered together, and invited three recruiters to have lunch together, which was a practice, and the group set off that afternoon.
The big idiot has no family, so after packing up, he took a few changes of clothes and dry food and packed them into a backpack that was not too big for him. This was all the luggage he would bring when he left Pine Forest Village. The old village chief and Ron sent us all the way to the entrance of the village. It was obvious that they had a lot to say to this big, stupid-looking man, but they didn't say anything in the end.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, the idiot is the hero of the village, and he wants to be the first batch to go to the front line to fight hard, but these people who stay behind also know that they will not get any better. The Dark Moon War is a world war. A person who is a fool may be more stable for a few days than a fool, but he may not be able to live a longer life than the latter, so no one has anything to say.
We soon left the small road in front of the village, walked north along the winding river next to the village, and walked on a relatively wide official road after a while. After walking on the official road, the road conditions are much better: there was a heavy rain last night, although the time was short, it also made the village road look quite muddy. Although the official road is also a dirt road, it has obviously been treated by some means, and the road surface is very dry , I finally don't have to listen to the eldest lady's complaints.
My mind is still a little dizzy: the three recruiters recruited troops very sloppily, the stupid big man left his hometown very sloppily, and the war as a whole looks extremely sloppy. Now that I finally had time to think about the whole thing, it seemed that everything was going on in a rush and hasty pace that only a few of us from another world could escape. Probably this is the world view caused by the circular war: people are numb, the world is peaceful according to the law, the world is in chaos according to the law, and the goddess is waiting for the rescue according to the law. In addition to these big laws pushing the whole world forward, the details are full of mistakes and omissions and contradictions.
"Let's just walk over like this?" Bingtis strode ahead, turned her head and said to Anna next to her, "I said you are conscription? Are you really an official army? How far is it from here to the North Fortress? Here we go."
"You guys are not bad," Anna was wearing all the equipment, but she walked no slower than Bingtis, "In some places, the second-line regiments are responsible for conscription, and those irresponsible soldiers will send someone to inform you, and then give you some For travel expenses and food, those who are named are limited to report to military stations in various places within a few days. If they are not counted as deserters after the deadline, they will be sent directly to your house to arrest people: there are such things. We have sent at least three people here, I also signed the roster on the spot, and now I even carry the luggage for you... Although there is actually only one person recruited, the few of you are not in the plan."
The three recruiters came on horseback, but what I admire is that they are now walking on the ground like us: In addition to the army bag, the three horses also carried the stupid big man’s bag and the Pandora sisters on their backs. , and this was the result of the initiative of the three knights.
Although I have told these three good people who abide by the chivalry, the Pandora sisters don't need to be treated like this at all, but it doesn't work: don't look at the trio looking a little out of tune, they are as stubborn as stones in terms of "knight's code" . Although the code of chivalry in this world may not be the same as my impression, but the core idea is similar, that is: toss yourself hard and work hard to benefit others.
The strange trio in front of them is persistently moving forward on this road—although they are still the most junior knights after walking for fifteen years.
"Don't worry, it's impossible to go all the way to the fortress," said the handsome elf man beside him. "There will be a small teleportation station shortly after walking on the main road, which can go directly to the gate of the northern fortress. If we walk faster, probably Get there before dark."
"Big man, you don't really intend to take a cat to serve as a soldier, do you?" Joseph turned his head and glanced at the stupid big man who was walking at the back, and his eyes fell on the latter's shoulder, "You take the cat to sign up? No problem, but wars are not for fun, don't lose your life because of a cat."
The silly big man has always lived with Xiao Hei, so of course it is impossible to leave the psychic cat in the village when he comes out this time. Now the cat is squatting on the silly big man's shoulder. What makes me a little strange is that this cat is almost human-like The smart cat didn't talk too much nonsense at the moment. She seemed to have no feelings about such things as her master's imminent enlistment in the army and that she could no longer sleep in her own room. She just flicked her tail there. Hearing Joseph's words, she raised her paw to him in a demonstrative way: "Be careful, you may not be able to beat me, stupid human being."
When he was in the village, the knights of the three kingdoms were startled when Xiao Hei spoke for the first time, but as I said before, there have always been talking cats in this world, so now Joseph and Xiao Hei have the same conversation. With a natural face, this strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes raised his arms to show off his muscles to Xiao Hei, but suddenly remembered that he was wearing armor, so he could only smile: "Counting you, I have seen it in my life." Of the three talking cats, you're the one with the most personality - all the other cats talk about eating and balls of yarn."
"I'm a cat out of vulgar interests," Xiao Hei yawned in a very humane way, and said with a flick of his tail, "And I'm also a literate cat. Don't forget, I was helping on the roster. The one who signed it was Ben Meow. My master doesn’t know how to read, so that’s it. I think I should join the army with my master as a war pet... "
Every time the cat speaks or jumps up and down to do things, it can give me a bright feeling, and today is no exception: it is the first time I have seen the owner who is illiterate and let a pet cat sign for me. It's not surprising that the stupid big man can't read. It's a bit scary that Xiao Hei can write cursive characters with a bamboo stick pen wrapped around his tail. I still remember what happened on the stupid big man's application list: the name column It says the name of the big fool, and there are two handprints on the back, one is the big fool, and the other is the cat's paw... This world is amazing.
When we were on our way to the sunset and Qianqian was getting a little bored, Bingtis suddenly paused, and then he had a smile on his face that everything was planned.
"What's the matter?" I was terrified by the female hooligan's laugh, and asked in the spiritual connection.
"A lice found the 'Forbidden Book' in the library of the Imperial Capital, a lice found clues in the Tiandi Bridge 'Broken Stubble' at the northern end of Longqiao Mountain, and another lice found the North Fortress one step ahead of us, all of them were found .” RS
