no.399 The root cause of the disaster in the Snowy Mountains?
The snow keeps falling, and the tops of the Snowy Mountains are covered with snow. Thick snow is piled on the roofs of the cabins. A black shadow only stays on the roofs for a moment and then disappears, as if it has never appeared. generally.
On the largest wooden house on the top of the mountain, Sherlock was lying there quietly. Occasionally, orc warriors passed by outside the house. The thieves' defense here was not strict.
Before leaving, Chen Ji had already told him that the eavesdropping incident this time should not be exposed to the orcs in any case. Chen Ji was still worried about Sherlock's current strength, although the attribute bonus of high-quality equipment could guarantee that Sherlock Even if Locke is captured by the orcs, he can escape smoothly, but in this way, it is very likely to alert the snake. Now there are only these three outsiders from the Blackstone Adventure Group in the Snowy Mountains. Even the bear tribe can accurately judge who is eavesdropping. Done.
Sherlock lowered his breath and came to the window of the wooden house. The conversation inside the house could be faintly heard. Sherlock hid in the shadow of the light and remained motionless.
"The adventurers who came todayare they part of our plan?" The old tiger man in the house seemed to have deliberately lowered his voice, but the tiger man's voice was already loud, and Sherlock could still hear it when he fell outside the house. Clearly.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." The fox prophet sighed, saying that maybe they just wanted to complete the Elf King's commission. The identity of the adventurers determines that they can only deal with some small events, such as big events that change the pattern of the continent. They don't have the ability to control it, so what if they don't? "
"Should we kill them? If they tell this story and other races become hostile to us, then someone with bad intentions will invade the Snow Mountain, and we will not be able to prepare for the teleportation magic circle with peace of mind." Leopard The cold voice of the old man came out, and Sherlock's heart tightened. He cautiously glanced inside the window in the shadow of the window, trying to confirm who was planning this thing that could bring disaster to the entire continent. matter.
There were still a few old men from the orc tribe in the house. Sherlock was puzzled. At that time, the thief could already feel that these old men were not very strong. Chen Ji had said that even the fox prophets could not exude the magic power. It is only the magic power of high-level mage. As for the elders of the orcs, they are also at the level of high-level professionals. As a mage who has been promoted to the title, Chen Ji can naturally easily spy on their power. It¡¯s just that Sherlock and Chen Ji was very confused at that time, were the orcs so bad at it? As the orcs on the mainland are famous for their powerful force, will it be their turn to have a few high-level professionals give orders to the orcs?
Even though they are older and more experienced, the orcs have always believed in the belief that the strong is respected, right?
Just when Sherlock was secretly wondering, a burst of black mist suddenly formed in the room, and a figure in black robe appeared among the old orcs. Sherlock could not see clearly the appearance of the man in black robe, and frowned slightly. .
"You are here, may I ask if you have any other orders" The fox-man prophet bowed respectfully, and the black-robed man snorted coldly, saying to the fox-man, you are getting older and more mixed up. Isn't there someone eavesdropping on you? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe looked straight at the hiding place of Sherlock outside the window. Sherlock felt a shiver in his heart and kept his stealth movement motionlessly. Sherlock thought that his stealth ability was something that even a professional with the title could not master. It's easy to see his figure, maybe the man in black robe who can't see his strength is just attacking him.
Being calm in the face of danger is also one of the thieves¡¯ rules of survival.
"Is there anyone?" The fox-man prophet was stunned for a moment, and the other orc elders also stood up and made alert movements. What surprised Sherlock was that these orc elders did not call the orc guards outside for help. .
"Do you still want me to invite you in?" The man in black robe's eyes flashed, and Sherlock suddenly felt a pain in his head. He didn't even bother to hide any more. He jumped up to the roof and ran out quickly. The men in black robes did not pursue them. Were there anyone other than orcs in the Snowy Mountains before the fox men? "
"A few young adventurers came to visit today" the fox prophet said respectfully. However, given their age, they did not seem to have such an ability to remain unnoticed. "
"In short, you should hurry up about the Gate of the Abyss. As for those outsiders, do you need me to help you deal with them?" After the man in black robe finished speaking, the fox-man prophet hurriedly said that once you take action, a large number of orcs will inevitably be attracted. Attention, if you want their lives, let's use our method. "
"Are you pretending to be a ghost again?" the man in black robe sneered.
The fox prophet nodded and said that I can tell my people that these outsiders will bring disaster to the Snowy Mountains. "
"Then do what you want." After the man in black robe finished speaking, he snorted coldly and said, "It's just you"Remember, if you want to keep those old guys alive, you must handle everything carefully before the gate of the abyss is built. For the sake of those old guys, and for your people to live a better life. good life"
After the man in black robe finished speaking, a burst of black mist floated in the room. In an instant, the man in black robe disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared here before.
Sherlock returned to the room and closed the door gently. Chen Ji and Avril had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Sherlock's face pale, Avril asked anxiously, "Are you injured?" "
¡°No¡it¡¯s just that they might have been killed by those orcs.¡± Sherlock said with a grimace, sorry, I didn¡¯t complete my mission. "
Chen Ji shook his head. It¡¯s none of your business. It¡¯s because I didn¡¯t think carefully enough. If I had field-level professionals there, I would definitely not let you. Are the orcs and the abyss colluding? "
"It's very possible, but they're not planning it." Sherlock said with a sullen face. By the way, do you have a professional in the field? "
"You have been left with spiritual marks on your body, can I not?" Chen Ji smiled and shook his head. He seemed not to be in a hurry. Sherlock suddenly realized that when he ran away, he felt a pain in his head. If Dao said that, they would follow the spiritual imprint and find it here? "
"Well, if they want to kill us, I'm afraid they will do this." Chen Ji said softly. But the information we have now is still too little to analyze the orcs' plans. By the way, the person who attacked you has characteristics. ? "
Sherlock recalled what happened when he was trying to find out the news. Chen Ji frowned. After Sherlock finished speaking, he asked Chen Ji, "Can you remove that mental imprint?" "
"There is no need to eliminate it." Chen Ji shook his head and said that if I use the power of the collection of elements to eliminate the mark, it will not be that difficult. But in that case, the other party will also re-estimate our strength. You should just treat it as nothing. It's better if it doesn't happen. "
"But now we are in the orcs' lair. If they call a large group of orcs to attack us, we may not be able to leave even if we want to. How about we escape now?" Sherlock was very worried about Chen Ji's calmness. Strangely, he hurriedly said that as long as we left the Snowy Mountains, they couldn't catch us. "
"Then we were convicted of eavesdropping information?" Chen Ji said with a wry smile. Unexpectedly, we only came to the Orcs and won the big prize. The Orcs colluded with the Abyss. This news is really shocking"
"I was confused at the time." Sherlock also looked in disbelief and murmured. "I don't think the orcs need to do such risky things. Even if they are dissatisfied with their current life, if they need supplies, Other races will also support them. "
"It's a big game of chess. Abyss and the orcs are playing together with all the tribes on the mainland" Chen Ji sighed and said, "It's not the same with the captain. If the dwarves and trolls are also controlled by the guys from Abyss, If so I am afraid that the pattern of the mainland will change a lot soon. "
"But the orcs didn't show any signs of fighting? Could it be that we made a misjudgment?" Avril thought for a while and interjected.
"Once a war breaks out, the main force in the battle will not be the orcs." Chen Ji shook his head and said that if Abyss is willing to send troops, they will be led by a werewolf general with outstanding group command and combat capabilities, and the war skills of the orcs will be added With the powerful combat power of the Abyss, it will definitely be a very terrifying team. "
"Then what should we do now?" After listening to Chen Ji's words, Avril said solemnly: If we commanded the half-toned abyss residents in the hypocritical city at that time, we would be able to exert combat effectiveness beyond human imagination. If professional generals command the abyss residents, no need Speaking of the city guards in the Elf King City, even the adventurer garrison and the Holy See¡¯s army in Stormwind City would have a hard time defeating them, right? "
"How about we go and control those old orc men?" Sherlock thought for a while, and suddenly said that wealth is found in danger. Since they want to play big, let's put in all our chips."
"I don't want to bring your body with me when Rebecca asks me for someone in the future" Chen Ji immediately rejected Sherlock's suggestion, sighing that the nature of the orcs has destined them to be difficult to be coerced. So I am very curious about what kind of bargaining chips those guys in the abyss brought to make them tempted. Furthermore, after coming to the Snowy Mountains, I have always had a feeling about the strength of the fox prophet and those orc elders. They are already bad enough to be in the realm of scum. For the orcs who are as strong as the clouds, their strength is simply not worthy of such a position, so I suspect that they are not the real orcs in power. "
"You mean they are fakes?" Sherlock asked in surprise. Who could do such an exaggerated thing in the hometown of the orcs, the abyss forces? "
? ?Ji shook his head. At the adventurer conference before, Chen Ji had met an outstanding orc adventure group. With the strength of that adventure group, even people from the abyss could not defeat them alone or with a few people. There should be more powerful people in the hinterland of the orcs than that high-level adventure group, so Chen Ji couldn't figure out how those guys in the abyss could do all this if his conclusion came true.
Ordinary orc warriors do not seem to have changed like the orc managers. The orcs are still living in poverty and contentment as usual. If the abyssal forces really control the orcs, will they be as silent as they are now?
"In this case, we won't be in a hurry to leave." Chen Ji thought for a while and said with a wry smile that I really don't have the mood a guest should have as a guest in this kind of environment"
"Perhaps in the eyes of those old orcs, we are not only guests, but also enemies" Sherlock sighed.
"In short, we will do everything according to the opportunity." After Chen Ji finished speaking, he lay down on the animal skin on the bed and waved the Piao Astronomy Network behind his back. One day, those old orcs couldn't bear their temper and came to see them. We are in trouble¡±
"I'll keep vigil," Sherlock said, but Avril smiled and shook her head, saying to Sherlock that when you went to eavesdrop, Chen Ji had already carved a trap magic circle in the house, and we should all have a good rest. "
Early the next morning, the three people in the house got up early and had an uneventful night. The old orcs seemed not to have noticed Sherlock's eavesdropping yesterday. After a night, Chen Ji and others were not disturbed in any way. Several magic circles used for warning have not been touched.
Sherlock looked at Chen Ji and smiled and said, I'm wonderingAm I the one the orcs didn't eavesdrop on? "
"What about the magic mark on your body?" Chen Ji rolled his eyes at Sherlock. However, this guy's natural optimism made Chen Ji feel that such a mentality is not right. At least a good mentality is the prerequisite for solving troubles. one.
"Dong dong."
The knock on the door made Chen Ji laugh. Sherlock opened the door. The bear warrior at the door grinned at Sherlock and said that the guests got up really early. In a while, the prophet will have a divination. The prophet will You are invited to visit together. "
"Do you usually do divination every morning?" After Chen Ji finished speaking, the bear warrior shook his head. Divination requires the mental power of the prophet, so he will only do it if his body allows it. "
"Then we are really unlucky. Such a coincidence can happen." Sherlock's voice was full of ridicule. The bear warrior didn't seem to hear it at all, and made an invitation gesture to Sherlock.
"Chen Ji, do you think this bear warrior is really stupid or fake?" Sherlock leaned next to Chen Ji's ear and whispered softly.
"What do you think?" Chen Ji did not answer Sherlock's question. Chen Ji hoped from the bottom of his heart that this conspiracy between the orcs and the abyssal forces had nothing to do with ordinary orcs, but was just a conspiracy by those in power.
"I hope they are just like the two orc warriors we met forward." Sherlock sighed, saying that although they are a little more simple and honest, their character is also worthy of respect, isn't it? "
Chen Ji nodded noncommittally. Under the guidance of the bear warriors, Chen Ji saw a large group of orcs sitting around in the snow in front of him. It was not yet bright, beside a red bonfire. The fox prophet sat cross-legged in the center of the crowd, mumbling obscure spells without stopping.
"What is he talking about?" Sherlock asked Chen Ji, not understanding the prophet's incantation.
"It's not a system, and I don't understand it either" Chen Ji rolled his eyes at Sherlock. He didn't expect that this guy has been a professional for so many years and still doesn't know what a mage does. The prayer of the stick is completely different.
The fox prophet noticed the appearance of Chen Ji and his entourage, stood up, and did not communicate with Chen Ji and others. Instead, he sang and danced beside the campfire. His movements were skillful and smooth, and he did not look old at all.
The orcs sitting around looked at the fox prophet respectfully, but the old orcs who had met in the house before had a strange smile on their lips.
The small sense of disobedience was keenly felt by Chen Ji. Although Chen Ji's eyes stayed on the fox prophet when he came to the crowd of orcs, the corner of his eye had already locked on the few people he had encountered. Old orc.
"The mysterious human beings who climbed up the Snowy Mountains brought disaster to the peace-loving orcs on the Snowy Mountains." The fox-man prophet jumped up and shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ji and the others vacated a circle around them. , the orcs who were originally standing with them looked at them in disgust as if they were avoiding the plague.They.
"I didn't expect this old guy to use such a method to deal with us." Sherlock's hands had already been placed on the dagger at his crotch, ready to face the sudden attack of the orcs at any time.
Chen Ji acted as if he had not seen him before, but his eyes turned playful when he looked at the fox prophet.
After the fox prophet finished singing the obscure ballad, he looked at Chen Ji. The provocative meaning in his eyes was obvious. He seemed to understand the amusement in Chen Ji's eyes. Fox man, I originally thought you were guests, but I was still thinking about today. I will host a banquet for you. Fortunately, I did some divination today and found out that you are the source of trouble in the Snowy Mountains."
"Oh? Did the beast god you believe in tell you?" Chen Ji smiled and said, "Are you sure that we are mysterious humans?" "
"I haven't seen you before. Now you are the only humans in the Snowy Mountains." After the fox prophet finished speaking, the old orcs behind him also responded, and the orcs' gazes towards Chen Ji and his party gradually changed. They became fierce, and the provocations of the old orcs inspired the fighting spirit in the orcs' bones.
"Master Prophet, they should not be bad people" A rough voice sounded in the crowd of orcs, and a naive bear warrior came out, with a sincere look on his face and said that they had only been in the Snowy Mountains for just one day, how could they do it? Doing evil? And they gave me a lot of food, allowing the little bear people in our tribe to live with enough food and clothing for a day"
