Chapter 135 Ah Yun's Identity?
Chapter 135 Ah Yun's Identity?
For adventurers, the west coast of the cursed land is considered an unexplored land.
The so-called unexplored land refers to the Warcraft-infested area without adventurer camps-relatively developed areas, the Adventurer Association will station large camps in the past, set up new branches, attract caravan merchants and adventurer teams to station, And a group of ordinary people serving the adventurers, including cooks, handymen and prostitutes, etc.; as the most organized folk association, the branch of the Adventurers Association is very valuable, and the camp size of some mature adventure resorts even Not losing to small and medium-sized towns, and each adventurer camp can bring a considerable amount of income to the association.
And if there are still monsters of level [-] and above wandering in the area, then the Adventurer's Association will naturally not take this risk... Any force or individual's investment behavior is for profit, and any level [-] monsters may cause a large loss of property and personnel , the money of the association is not a flood.
After a year of exploration in the past year, the adventurers have pushed the safe place on the west coast inwards by [-] kilometers from the elven port. Camping overnight within this range can guarantee basic safety, and if it is further away, it will not work...
"Level [-] Warcraft Acrenos? And this thing?!" The young man said in surprise.
"That's right, go southeast for three days, there is a swamp, and that Akrynos was entrenched near there last year." The old adventurer, who couldn't stop belching, patted the table with a red face, In an exaggerated tone, "We saw that big guy across the swamp last year, my God, that ghost thing with antlers and red hair is really amazing in size, bigger than the boat we came in!"
"and after?"
"Of course we ran away afterwards, hahaha!" The old adventurer laughed loudly, "But don't worry now, that ghost went east, and it is said that it attacked the station of the coast patrol of the Lamia Merchant Corps , Hahaha! Those idiots, who dared to set up camp without even clearing Akerenos, are too underestimating this grassland!"
The grunting grassroots patriarch raised his head, looked at the talking human adventurer at the next table, and turned his head to look at the clansmen in doubt: "Antlers, red hair, why do they sound so familiar?"
"Yeah, it looks like the kind of red-haired monster that can set fire with its horns. The pair of horns on the top of the red-haired monster's head looks like antlers." A clansman said.
"The meat of that thing is delicious. We caught one when our tribe was hunting with the nearby cat tribe. I heard from the soldiers that it ran very fast and the meat on its feet was very fragrant. Unfortunately, there were no cat tribes. Otherwise, the fighters couldn’t catch up with that thing, so the people of the cat clan took the feet away. But the meat of the trunk is also very fragrant.” Another clansman drooled, “At that time, our tribe took ten days to eat That red-haired monster ate it up!"
"Wow, so delicious?"
The grassroots patriarch's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right, that's the one. We used to share some of this meat from the tauren, and I heard it was given to them by others... Have you ever caught this red-haired monster before?" ?”
"No more." The tribesman regretted, "This thing is rare, and it is always hidden in the depths of the swamp, and we can't catch it. The cat tribe moved away secretly for some reason, and since then Never had it again."
The snow wolves expressed their regrets one after another, wondering how delicious that kind of meat is...
At the next table, the bragging old adventurer stared blankly at them...
"The red-haired monster they're talking about isn't Acrenos, is it?" The young adventurer who just came out didn't know how to wink and asked stupidly.
"...Definitely not! Akerenos is a level [-] monster, level [-]!" The old adventurer blushed.
"But Akerenos also releases fireballs with horns—"
"Shut up! Rookie!"
The "God of War" Primo, the head of the Adventurer's Association branch, is disguised today as a middle-aged man with splayed eyebrows and triangular eyes.
The president of the Primo Branch, who is keen to spend his leisure time every afternoon in the open-air food store of the Snow Wolf Clan, and his friend the illusionist "End of Illusion" Sean occupied a small table on the edge of the platform and ate barbecue. Stewed with wine, indescribably comfortable and relaxing.
Primo, who is a walker, is old and frail, and his perception is declining; but Sean is different, the increase in age of the caster will only increase the mental power and will not decline, even if there is no need to deliberately listen, the guests at the dozen tables on the open-air platform The conversation will still actively drill into his ears; hearing the conversation of the snow wolf clan, Xiao En couldn't help laughing, and shook his head dumbfounded.
"Why, did you 'overhear' something interesting?" Primo joked.
"It's not fair. How can you call it eavesdropping?" Sean chuckled nonchalantly, repeating the snow wolf clan's evaluation of the fourth-level monster Akerenos in a low voice.
"..." Primo, who is experienced in life, couldn't laugh or cry when he heard these words, "'The barbarian among the orcs', the nickname was really correct back then. Even if it sinks, the snow wolf clan is still the orc clan The fighting race in the middle of the world... only they can do such a thing as a rare food for level [-] monsters that can destroy the town overnight."
Sighing, Primo regretted: "I like them a little bit, and this style is quite in line with my preferences. It's a pity...'Snow Wolf Clan Ayun' actually flattered the dark elves openly. It's hard to recognize."
"My friend, maybe the snow wolves don't think as much as you think." Sean didn't take it seriously, "It's not just the dark elves who benefit from the technology of using rotten wood and sawdust to grow mushrooms. Too many people don't own land suitable for farming."
Primo shook his head, not intending to argue with his old friend on this issue: "Forget it, old man, that's not something we should care about, you and I don't have much time left, it's time to enjoy life. "
Sean laughed and raised his glass.
It has been 50 years since Primo won the title of God of War. Even if he is a top human being, his age can be regarded as aging.
When Primo originally made the decision to stay away from the disputes at the headquarters and come to the remote cursed land branch for retirement, Primo dragged his way here after being ready to drink his blood. Unexpectedly, the forest elves managed the port on the west coast well. And the food store opened by the Snowwolves can greatly satisfy his stomach, so there is nothing for Primo to be picky about in this kind of retirement life.
Sean's situation is similar to his. Although he still looks young, "End of Illusion" has passed two hundred years this year... Humans don't have the lifespan of elves and dwarves, even though Sean has twice the lifespan of ordinary people as a spellcaster. His lifespan has also reached its limit. If there is no accident, Xiao En will have to return to the embrace of the goddess of magic in a few years.
The two who dealt with death calmly had no interest in getting involved in foreign affairs. Even though they knew that Ayun of the Snow Wolf Clan was in the hotel where General Kleist was staying at the moment, they were not interested in visiting... A loyal fan of the two interesting travel notes.
"I didn't expect that the snow wolf cub I met at Prince St. Bridge's reception last year was 'Ayun', and he was also Carlisle's new teacher, and he wrote such innovative travel notes. Sean drank half a glass of fruit wine and said with emotion, "If I knew that there was such a young and promising genius 20 years ago, no, ten years ago, then I think I would be willing to meet such a new friend..."
"That's the snow werewolf that the prince of St. Bridge willingly apprenticed to. Could it be that you, an illusionist, are still trying to accept a snow werewolf as an apprentice?" Primo teased.
"No, not a disciple, but a friend, Primo." Sean smiled. "Isn't it worthy of respect for someone who can think of a travelogue to plan the future for his tribe?"
Primo curled his lips: "Including pleasing the dark elves?"
"Look, you still care about this." Sean couldn't help laughing, "There are many despicable people in the same race as you and me. If other races compare you and me with such people, I think you are It will absolutely not be allowed, so why do you have to hate the entire population of the underground world for the sake of a few dark elves?"
"I'm already at this age, and I don't want to maintain any demeanor and generosity." Primo hummed.
Sean actually nodded in agreement: "You're right, that's why we've been friends for so many years, Primo."
"You really are a strange guy." Primo laughed.
"Each each other."
These two old guys each had a bottle of wine, and they didn't pat their butts back to their residence until the peak of the evening meal was approaching.
As the branch chief of the Adventurer's Association and well-known powerhouses on the mainland, they have the treatment of staying in the elves' residential area, and they live in the same hotel as General Kleist.This hotel with the highest standard has an independent courtyard, garden and bath for distinguished guests. In the courtyard of the front yard, many flowers and plants cultivated by druids are specially transplanted. Each room has a specially assigned maid to clean up the room and prepare meals. Point - other hotels are not so meticulous, and guests are not even allowed to eat in the room.
General Elf lived in the room on the east side of the second floor, and Sean and Primo lived on the west side, separated by a corridor and a rest area with sofas and bookshelves; but Sean and Primo never entered that place... ...One is that it is too troublesome to salute and greet the Elf General, and the other is that drinking is not allowed in the hotel, and they prefer to spend time in the open-air food shop of the Snow Wolf Clan.
It was also because of this that Xiao Yun, who was staying in General Kleist's suite, had never met these two people since then...
On the third day after the cargo was delivered to the port, the St. Bridge fleet arrived at the port.
The fleet that came this time was even bigger, with a total of sixty ships, and the port could hardly stop.Prince Carlisle did not appear in the fleet. Tim, who was in charge of this transaction, was busy for a few days before completing the unloading and arranging the transport team to the forest elves; after finishing the matter at hand, Tim rushed to see Xiao Yun— —Last year Xiao Yun was able to run around freely, but now he can’t. To communicate with Tim, he has to rely on Darren running in the middle to pass on the message.
In the living room of General Kleist... Xiao Yun carefully asked about the situation of Prince Carlisle.
"From this point of view, Carlisle's biggest trouble now is his relationship with his father. Carlisle has not handled it well." Xiao Yun frowned.
"This... His Majesty will still be detrimental to Carlisle?" Tim clearly focused on Prince Hilbert, and Xiao Yun was a little surprised when he mentioned the old king.
The corner of Xiao Yun's mouth twitched, these guys obviously didn't watch Gongdou drama much: "Use your brain, Tim, originally Carlisle had already pushed Hilbert down, and even forced Hilbert to hold his nose to accept it. The princess is participating in politics, and the prince is the leader of the St. Bridge Conservative Party. What does this mean? It means that if Hilbert did not have strong support, it would be impossible for him to stand up and continue to argue with Carlisle after kneeling. —Who can St. Bridge support Hilbert besides Carlisle?"
Although Tim was surprised, he was not particularly surprised, but smiled wryly: "Is that so..."
"You and Carlisle actually noticed it, but it's hard to accept the reality." Xiao Yun saw that there was something he didn't understand about his reaction.
Darren, the sword warrior sitting next to him, really didn't know about this, and his face was stunned. This is the performance that he really didn't expect...
Tim smiled wryly and shook his head, hesitating for a while before sighing: "After all, His Majesty the King is also Carlisle's father. We really find it hard to believe that His Majesty would express his dissatisfaction in such a way. Her Royal Highness...is also his daughter."
It is understandable that the disputes between the two generations of the small family are constantly cutting and chaotic, let alone the royal family.Xiao Yun didn't mean to be harsh, but he was a little dissatisfied: "Last year, I reminded you and Carlisle to look at people without the aura of identity, but you just listened with your ears and didn't take it to heart. Father, king, are just identities , if you treat the old king as a normal, ordinary man, you won't be so restrained."
Leaning forward to put a little pressure on Tim, Xiao Yun said in a deep voice: "Think about it—the king is old, but he still has his eyes open, panting, which man holds the highest power in his life, and is willing to open his eyes without closing his eyes?" Seeing another man take away your power before dying?"
Tim couldn't hide his horror, and his face turned pale in a blink of an eye.
"The spring in St. Bridge comes earlier than on the grasslands, so it's already very warm, right? The old man who was shivering in front of the fireplace in winter should have the strength to go out for a walk now." Xiao Yun Slightly squinting his eyes, he said unceremoniously, "Suppose you are the man who had to give in to his son when his body felt powerless. When you find that the vitality has returned to your body, you still have the energy to master it." When you are the supreme power of St. Bridge, will you really not regret the decision you made a few months ago, are you really...willing?"
Tim softened all of a sudden, and Darren next to him was trembling.
"Prince Hilbert suddenly proposed to marry the two princesses. This is not just his personal will." Xiao Yun sat up straight, "No matter what Carlisle's intention of letting the princess act as the real government agent, in the eyes of the old king Come on, this is all young and strong children provoking him. The purpose of marrying the princess is to let Carlisle know his dissatisfaction and let Carlisle voluntarily return the power. Carlisle handled this matter pretty well, and welcoming the old king back Handing over the fleet to you, using this method to express weakness rather than toughness, this way of handling the conflict has been moderated."
What Tim lacked was Carlisle's vision. After being reminded by Xiao Yun, he immediately understood, and his face suddenly turned ugly: "Mr. Ayun..."
"Carlisle trusts you very much." Xiao Yun interrupted him, and smiled in an unquestionable tone, "You know how important the fleet is to him, Tim. Carlisle will carry the fleet of his dream concept Leave it to you. After the old king returns to the center, he should hardly have the opportunity to be alone with you, right, Tim, Carlisle believes that you can understand his will, and he must believe it without hesitation when he makes a decision at this point."
The shadow on Tim's heart was blown away by Xiao Yun's words, he smiled unconsciously, and straightened his back that had softened.
"This trust is very heavy, Darren, you have to take good care of our new captain, he can't have any accidents, otherwise, if St. Bridge's fall, I don't know who will take advantage of it. "Xiao Yun made a joke, erasing all possible doubts that Tim might have. He was actually a little annoyed that Carlisle didn't make it clear to Tim. The closer the person is, the more serious the problem will be if there is a crack. Terrible... If Tim thinks that Carlisle will throw him out as a scapegoat, something big will happen!
No way, he can only wipe Carlisle's ass.
"Mr. Ayun, do you think there are assassins among the crew?" When Tim asked this guess, his expression was quite natural.
Xiao Yun patted his thigh: "Think about this kind of thing with your knees! The foundation of Carlisle is the fleet. If the person who actually controls the fleet is replaced by the old king, would Carlisle still dare to move when the old king is alive?" ? If it wasn't for St. Bridges, he was the only prince left, I guess Carlisle would not have dared to stay in the palace... Of course, if it weren't for this, Carlisle would not let go of the fleet easily. You came safe and sound on the way, that's 'take over 'People need to confirm the transaction process with Haimao, and you will not be so comfortable when you return."
Darren said quickly: "I will follow Tim closely from now on."
Tim was a little depressed, and sighed a long time: "...how did you get to this point? It's all for St. Bridge."
Xiao Yun chuckled: "Normally, this is the virtue of a man. As long as he is not dead, all he thinks about is power. There are too many people who can't control their greed, and there is no shortage of old kings."
Tim and Darren stared at him for a while, then involuntarily moved their eyes down his belly...
"Look at Mao, I'm the kind of person who can control myself! There are too many people who can control themselves!" Xiao Yun grumpily said, "Greed is not a bad thing, but greed that causes bad things is a bad thing. I don't understand, the former It is the driving force behind people's progress, and the latter will only make people indulge in feudal thinking that drags each other down and everyone compares with each other. The reason why intelligent creatures are intelligent creatures is to put their greedy desires in the right place. The wisdom of the place is called an intelligent creature, otherwise it is not the same as a beast that only knows how to eat, sleep and mate!"
Tim and Darren quickly even claimed yes.
General Kleist was not there, so Xiao Yun presumptuously educated his apprentice's younger brother in his room. Anyway, this hotel is very quiet, and he doesn't worry about being disturbed.
What Xiao Yun never expected was... In a room about 20 meters away from him in a straight-line distance, at the other end of the corridor, lived a legendary magician named "End of Illusion" who could perceive the surroundings without intentionally "tapping".
Sean was dazed, staring at the east wall of the room in disbelief.
On the chair opposite Sean, Primo is holding the new issue of "Continental Games", reading the travel notes of the gourmet hunter happily; there is no pleasing and gorgeous description, but the plot is very novel and the plot is very attractive. Can't stop, I went to the food store of the Snow Wolf Clan two hours ago to fill my stomach, but I feel vaguely hungry...
After reading the [-]-word travel note, Primo licked his lower lip eagerly, and was about to share his experience with his old friend, but when he looked up... he saw his old friend twisting his head awkwardly, with a demented expression, as if It's like being petrified.
"Sean? Old man? Hi?"
After shouting three times, Xiao En came back to his senses, and turned his head stiffly, with the same expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Primo also knew how powerful Sean's mental field was, so he frowned: "...Did you overhear some terrifying conspiracy? The forest elves are going to kill all adventurers?"
"No, no, no..." Sean waved his hand, wiped his face to calm down, and stared at his old friend strangely, "It's really surprising, and you would be shocked if you knew, Primo, that 'Snow Wolf' Zu Ayun', really Carlisle's teacher..."
Primo looked at him like an idiot: "What are you talking about? Didn't the prince himself say that?"
"No, I mean—wait!" Sean stretched out his hand for a pause gesture, and looked at the east wall of the room again.
In the room on the other side of the corridor separated by several walls, Tim said with a troubled face: "I think Carlisle will not have a hard time dealing with Prince Hillport, but His Majesty's business is really... people don't know what to do. The Federation is already preparing food and grass for sending troops, and St. Bridge can't afford it anymore, but now, alas."
"Carlisle doesn't intend to follow the king's wishes and marry the princess casually?" Xiao Yun asked.
Tim nodded: "Carlisle believes that the involvement of the two princesses in this matter is all because of him, and the princess cannot be held responsible for his mistakes."
Xiao Yun was very satisfied, and immediately let others take the blame when something happened. This kind of unambitious person can't do anything, and Carlisle did not wrong him for his painstaking cultivation: "With Carlisle's current strength and domestic reputation, the old The king's matter is actually not difficult to solve."
Tim immediately showed a horrified expression...
"What are you thinking, how can you do such a thing as killing your father? In your eyes, I am so black-hearted?!" Xiao Yun said angrily.
"Uh...of course not..." Tim heaved a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically.
"The old king is getting old~" Xiao Yun didn't bother to be serious, and said in a loud voice, "He is so old, and the prince is filial, how can he bear the burden of his father for state affairs? Of course, please go to the palace to have a good time." It is better to rest and take care of your life. The greatest wish of our prince is that the old king can live a long life. In order for the king to live a long and healthy life, the prince should strictly prohibit idlers from disturbing the king's cultivation... The son is worried about the health of his elderly father. It’s the right thing to say wherever you take it!”
Tim was stunned, and his expression became subtle... Isn't this, house arrest? !
Xiao Yun chuckled, and told Tim with his eyes: Congratulations, you guessed it right.
How did Li Erfeng arrange Li Yuan?We have never been an emperor, but we can copy the homework of top students!
With a "snap", Sean slapped the table and stood up.
Primo: "?!"
Sean looked puzzled. He thought that Carlisle's visit to the teacher of the snow wolf clan was to open up business routes. He never thought that this cub of the snow wolf clan was actually Carlisle's teacher as a prince? !
A large number of books to fill in the gaps in experience can indeed compile interesting travel notes, and the long-term planning of the tribe can also be regarded as the instinct of a weak race. Such a genius is not beyond Xiao En's understanding.
But as a cub of the snow wolf clan, who has only lived for more than [-] years and has such sophisticated political skills, this is not something a genius can explain!
Thinking of the alias of the prairie where the Snowwolves lived, the legendary magician, End of Illusion, Sean, he couldn't help thinking of a possibility that made his hair stand on end...
