The weather in the Snowy Mountains changes at a moment's notice. Not long after chatting with the Ursine Warrior, little snowflakes began to float in the sky. The Ursine Warrior let Chen Ji and his party into the wooden house in the level, next to the red fire. , the bear warrior drank up the rice wine in the jug, burped, and laughed innocently.
Chen Ji looked around at the furnishings in the wooden house and couldn't help feeling that the orcs were really poor. The wooden bed made of several wooden boards was only covered with a thin animal skin, a few wooden benches, and a wooden bed. The table is considered to be all the belongings in the checkpoint post. There is a piece of bacon as big as a palm on the wooden table. According to the bear warrior, this is today's dinner for him and his companion who went to convey the prophet.
Seeing the Ursine warrior's beaming look after drinking, Avril winked at Chen Ji. Chen Ji was overflowing with sympathy again, but this was understandable. She took out the package from the rune backpack and took out some meat and food. Dry food, Chen Ji said to the bear warrior, we happen to be hungry too, let¡¯s eat together. "
"You are all very generous." The bear warrior rubbed his stubby bear paws and smiled innocently. Chen Ji handed him a smoked wild boar hind leg and said to the bear warrior, you never thought about leaving. Do you live in the snowy mountains? Depending on the strength of you and your companions, many adventure groups will compete for you. "
"The prophet didn't let the bears go out, we are too stupid." The bear shook his head naively, chewed a mouthful of bacon, and told Chen Ji that those orcs who can leave the snowy mountains to make a living outside are either ghosts. Those who are smart and clever, or those who are powerful and not afraid of adventurers of other races. The prophet said that fools like us will count money for others if they are sold by others. "
"Then you orcs will form an adventure group?" After Chen Ji finished speaking, the bear warrior shook his head and sighed. I heard that a long time ago, the orc clan also had many adventure groups, but later they all dispersed due to uneven distribution. , now there are only a few orc adventure groups. It is not that there is no conflict between the orc tribes. For example, between the lions and the tigers, neither side wants to see the other. There are also the werewolves who do not pay attention to anyone except the people of their own tribe. The leopards all live alone. , the fox people are smart enough, but their combat effectiveness is too useless. Apart from a little bit of dispensable healing ability, they are useless, and no one is willing to form a group with them. "
After the bear warrior finished speaking, he looked sad, and neither Chen Ji nor Sherlock said a word. This was considered a household matter of the orc tribe, and it was hard for outsiders to express their opinions on this matter.
After taking two bites of the bacon, the Ursine Warrior sighed and said, "I would say, if we all unite together, we will be more powerful." Isn¡¯t it just uneven distribution? After working hard, everyone wants to get more. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal. We are all orcs, and what we get is the orc share. Even if the meat rots in the pot, it is still meat"
"Who said the bear-men were stupid?" Sherlock murmured in a low voice after hearing what the bear-man warrior said. He was stunned for a while.
"That makes sense." Chen Ji nodded and laughed, saying to the bear warrior that everyone has selfish motives. This is not surprising. If you orcs had the same idea, you would have run in* *It¡¯s¡¡±
"What?" the bear warrior said to Chen Ji blankly.
"No." Chen Ji smiled and said to the bear warrior, didn't your prophet help you think of a solution? "
"The prophet said that the orcs live in the Snowy Mountains. Although they are a little poorer, they don't have to worry about being cheated by other races. What's more, the environment in the Snowy Mountains can train people. Orc professionals are all in this environment. We are trained, so in a battle between professionals of the same level, professionals from other races generally cannot beat us." Speaking of this, the bear warrior looked proud.
"It's true that he was born in sorrow and died in happiness." Chen Ji watched the bear warrior imitate the words of the orc prophet in a serious manner, and smiled and said that although the prophet's words have some truth, they still can't change the living conditions of your orcs, just like the mainland. The adventurers on the Internet are wandering around for the sake of a better life. Of course, there are also some ideals among them. After they have enough food and clothing, they will consider improving their reputation and letting others recognize them. "
"Anyway, you humans have a lot of things to do, but adventurers are also quite unlucky to spend all day thinking about these nonsense." The bear warrior seemed to understand Chen Ji's words.
A wild boar hind leg went into the bear warrior's stomach while they were chatting. Chen Ji took out another one. The bear warrior didn't eat any more and put it on the table to leave to his companions. Sherlock looked at the bear strangely. The human warrior glanced at him and said to the bear warrior, are you full? "
"I think I'm full." After the bear warrior said this, Sherlock felt a little emotional that he could eat more with this guy's appetite.
¡°I think our adventure group should also absorb a few orc warriors.I'm a soldier" Sherlock whispered to Chen Ji.
Chen Ji sighed. Although in the adventurer world, the barriers between different races are already very small, but different races have different logics and rules. Chen Ji patted Sherlock on the shoulder and said to Sherlock Let's wait until we meet the orc prophet before talking about it. This matter is not something we can decide. "
"Hire them at a high price. Our adventure group is not short of money." After Sherlock said, Avril laughed and said to Sherlock, you should save money to marry. Do you think the leader is so stingy when meeting these fools? Stupid guy, how can you not trick them? "
"That's because she doesn't understand men's romance" Sherlock rolled his eyes at Avril and said that he obviously didn't fill his stomach and was still thinking about it. What an excellent character this is."
"It would be a more reliable idea to let them all fill their stomachs." After Chen Ji finished speaking, he took out a bag of bacon from his rune backpack, put it on the wooden table, and said to the bear warrior Even if we are destined, these bacon can be regarded as a meeting gift. "
The bear warrior took a sip of saliva, but did not touch the barbecue on the table. Instead, he smiled and said, "I will take these back to the tribe. The weather is getting cold, and the monsters and wild beasts in the mountains are also freezing. I will share some of this meat from house to house." , make those little bears happy. "
Anyway, it has already been given to the Ursine Warriors, and the distribution is his business. Sherlock thought about leaving some more gold coins for the Ursine Warriors, but Chen Ji shook his head.
Not everything can be solved with gold coins, not to mention that we are just acquainted with the Ursine Warrior for the first time. If you are too attentive, people will think that the Blackstone Adventure Group has other agendas.
The bear warrior put away the bacon on the table. Sherlock came to Chen Ji and whispered to Chen Ji, do you think we should do what we did in my city again here in the Snowy Mountains? "
"The situations between the two are different." Chen Ji shook his head and did not adopt Sherlock's suggestion. The orcs have been accustomed to this way of life for a long time. Although they looked a little embarrassed in their eyes, the beasts Most people can live in poverty and contentment, and no orcs object to the arrangement of the orc prophets. Although Chen Ji has some sympathy for the orcs' lives, he does not want to get involved in the cumbersome matter of changing the orcs' lives. If it is really If they want to help the orcs, the Blackstone Adventure Group will inevitably fall into a busy quagmire. The thing that worries Chen Ji most now is the abyss. Things have priorities, so changing the living conditions of the orcs is not Chen Ji's priority.
As soon as Chen Ji finished speaking, a loud shout came from outside the house. The bear warrior grinned and pushed open the wooden door. After a while, three bear warriors entered the house. The two newly arrived bear warriors had already Received an order from the orc prophet to take Chen Ji and his party up the mountain.
Chen Ji said goodbye to the bear warriors who stayed at the stronghold, and walked on the mountain road with the bear warriors in the light snow. Perhaps because few humans went deep into the snowy mountains, the orcs he met along the way saw Chen Ji and his party. , stopped and watched for a while, Sherlock enjoyed the curious eyes of the orcs, and walked carelessly. Chen Ji secretly laughed in his heart that this guy actually had the potential to be a monkey.
It seems that humans are also very strange ornamental animals to the orcs in the snowy mountains.
The bear man who was responsible for leading the way was much more serious than the bear warriors at the checkpoint. Chen Ji did not follow them along the way. It took him a long time to climb to the orc tribe on the top of the mountain, and the snowflakes dancing in the sky were getting heavier and heavier. Bigger.
Wooden houses were scattered all over the top of the mountain. Two orc warriors led Chen Ji and his party to a larger wooden house. The bear warrior knocked on the door. After an old reply came from the door, the bear warrior pushed the door open. After entering the door, several orcs of different shapes in the room all turned their attention to Chen Ji and others.
"Welcome, guests from afar." The older fox man touched the long beard on his chin, and the two silver-white ears on the top of his head twitched slightly, as if to identify the location of Chen Ji and others.
Is it possible that the orc prophet is blind? Haven't heard of it before?
Chen Ji bowed to the old fox man and saluted, saying, "Sorry for disturbing the prophet. The warriors of the beast tribe must have passed the message. We came to the Snow Mountain this time to investigate the whereabouts of the abyss monsters throughout the continent at the request of the Elf King." . "
"Abyss monster?" The fox prophet was stunned for a moment, and slowly sat on the chair. After thinking for a while, he said that you are talking about the evil dragon that the necromancer helped our clan kill hundreds of years ago. The body has been taken away by them"
kindness? Didn't the abyss monsters leave more traces in the Snowy Mountains?
Chen Ji had some doubts in his heart. He glanced at the other orc elders beside the fox prophet. The old orc elders didn't say a word and ignored Chen Ji's questions. They just sat there quietly.Could it be that the orcs have something to hide? Chen Ji instinctively felt that the words of the fox prophet were not accurate. If the abyss dragon killed by Elby only appeared in the Snowy Mountains, what about the Elf Forest? The abyss monsters killed by the elves have been made into illustrated books. For thousands of years, every few years, you will encounter abyss monsters that come to the elf forest through non-directional teleportation magic.
"You mean, there was only one trace of the Abyss Monster in the Snowy Mountains?" After Chen Ji finished speaking, the fox-man prophet nodded and said to Chen Ji that that monster was originally called the Abyss Monster when I was very young. I have heard about the demonic dragon causing trouble in the Snowy Mountains. Fortunately, only one appeared. If there were more, wouldn't the Snowy Mountains be destroyed by them? "
Chen Ji frowned when he heard this. Seeing that Chen Ji was silent for a long time, the fox prophet smiled and said that you have come all the way, so you must be tired. If this investigation is commissioned by the Elf King, then please tell him, Abyss The monster has never been to the Snowy Mountains. "
"Didn't one come before? The Necromancer killed it." After Chen Ji finished speaking, the fox prophet came back to his senses and said that only that one had appeared. "
Chen Ji nodded, said "Excuse me" to the Fox Prophet, and then left the cabin with his teammates. Before leaving, Chen Ji took a deep look at the Fox Prophet and the orc elders. The fox prophet just smiled but said nothing more.
After being escorted by the bear warriors to an empty wooden house, Chen Ji pushed the door open and entered. The furnishings in the house were as simple as a checkpoint outpost, but this was not enough for the orcs who had always lived a barren life. house.
"Chen Ji, I think the prophet is deliberately hiding something." After the bear warrior left, Sherlock lay down and whispered in Chen Ji's ear.
Chen Ji just nodded slightly and said to Sherlock, "Are you abnormal?" "
"No, it's just an instinctive feeling. The fox-man prophet seems to have been covering it up in his words when we mentioned the monsters in the abyss." Sherlock thought for a moment.
"Also, he seems to have been emphasizing to us that the Abyss Demon has not appeared in the Snowy Mountains. Even the Abyss Demonic Dragon that Elby killed has not mentioned a word. The Abyss Monster should have appeared in the Snowy Mountains. It will leave a deep impression on the orcs, and those orc elders remained silent when we mentioned the abyss monsters." After Avril finished speaking, Chen Ji sighed and said with a wry smile. He originally thought that he would be able to escape from the orcs soon. We have found information here, and now it seems that we may be the last team to complete this mission. "
"Have you got an idea?" After Sherlock finished speaking, Chen Ji didn't say a word and just spread his mental power. After a while, Chen Ji sighed softly and said to Sherlock, "There are a few guys Keep an eye on us."
"Surveillance" Chen Ji covered Sherlock's mouth mid-sentence. Avril rolled her eyes at Sherlock, raised her voice and said, "It's so cold, and the bedding in the room is not enough."
"Uh" Sherlock also came to his senses and realized that the walls have ears. It doesn't matter if he sings or talks, they are all stored there by Chen Ji."
Chen Ji glanced at Sherlock angrily, came to the wooden bed and sat down, wondering in his heart that the reputation of the Blackstone Adventure Group was so bad? When you come to the orc tribe, are you still being guarded like thieves?
People¡¯s evaluation of the ¡°simpleness¡± of the orcs is somewhat different
Seeing that Chen Ji was thinking, neither Sherlock nor Avril made a sound to disturb him. Chen Ji frowned and analyzed the strange behavior of the old fox man when he met the orc prophet, the Elf King and Uncle Fox. As mentioned before, the current abyss monsters are scattered all over the continent, which is only caused by the defects of non-directional space transfer magic. If the abyss forces want to invade the mainland on a large scale, a stable space transmission is required. Only with a magic circle can the effect of directional transmission be achieved.
In other words, the abyss needs an abyss gate that can have the same function as the gate of hell before it can come to the mainland. Uncle Fox once said that the gate of the abyss exists, but it was created by ancient magicians thousands of years ago using a collection of elements. The ability has been sealed. If the abyssal forces peeking into the continent want to travel between the mainland and the abyss through the gate of the abyss, the first thing to do is to find the location of the sealed gate of the abyss and break the seal.
It's just that the handwriting of ancient magicians is not so easy to break. The reason why Chen Ji was able to break open the gate of hell is because he has thousands of years more magical knowledge than the adventurers of this era, and those guys in the abyss, Even with great strength, it is difficult to achieve what you want. Breaking the sealing magic circle is a technical job. Chen Ji doubts whether those rough guys in the abyss can have such ability.
It would be even more nonsense if it were to recreate the Gate of the Abyss. So far, what Chen Ji has seen??The only ones who can master space magic are those succubi in the hell world. It was the talent of space magic and the efforts of the entire tribe that opened the door to Atlantis. Chen Ji is not too fond of those in the abyss. The guys have the same technology as the succubi, and the reason why the succubi opened up the teleportation magic circle is that Atlantis and the hell world were originally connected to each other, and there was a vast gap between the continent and the abyss. Hell, recreating the gate of the abyss is too far-fetched.
This is one of the reasons why the Elf King is not worried about how long it will take the Blackstone Adventure Group to collect good information. It is obvious that the Elf King is not worried that those guys from the abyss will suddenly appear in the sight of all the races on the mainland, and occasionally airborne. If there are only two, it is nothing more than paying a small price to square them off.
Chen Ji has always been optimistic about the abyss, but the performance of the fox prophet just now made Chen Ji unable to help but feel doubtful. The Snowy Mountains did not seem like a place that had never been invaded by the abyss forces. Chen Ji's instinct I feel like the Lakers prophet is lying.
What is the purpose of the fox prophet? If there really are traces of abyssal monsters in the Snowy Mountains, would there be any benefit to covering them up?
Chen Ji thought for a long time, but still didn't get the answer. Both Sherlock and Avril were staring at him with searching eyes.
"Sherlock, can you guarantee that you will go reconnaissance near the big house just now without being caught?" After Chen Ji finished speaking, seeing Sherlock nodding confidently, Chen Ji said I need the prophet to talk to those orc elders. Now They have already understood the purpose of our coming here, and they will probably talk about something about the monsters in the abyss. I think we are all very interested in this information. "
