Chapter 84 [Tulip Secret](1/2)
Gu Le didn't seem to show too many abnormalities. He was very polite to Chen Daolin. This kind of politeness seemed to be just a kind of respect for the identity of a magician, but Chen Daolin kept hanging in his heart.
He simply introduced himself and stopped talking.
For some reason, Chen Daolin seemed to be worried from the bottom of his heart that this Gu Le would recognize him. There was an instinct that made Chen Daolin feel that this Gu Le seemed a bit dangerous, and deep down he really didn't want to get close to this guy.
After Gu Le walked in, Kaman seemed to be much quieter. It seemed that this arrogant and domineering fat man had also restrained a lot in front of Gu Le. However, Baron Hines looked very proud. Seeing Kaman silent, Baron Hines was even more and more happy. He talked and laughed with Gu Le in his words and deeds, as if he deliberately showed the enthusiasm between him and Gu Le in front of Kaman.
Kaman looked depressed aside, and Chen Daolin naturally would not talk much.
However, Gu Le is really a guy who is good at socializing. Even in the chat, he will never neglect others. Although Hines tried his best to talk to him, Gu Le would deliberately take care of the silent Kaman and Chen Daolin every time he said a few words, and took the initiative to lead the topic to the two of them, indicating that he would never neglect them.
This kind of performance of dancing with all the best makes Chen Daolin more cautious - especially he seems to feel that Fatty Kaman seemed to show a slight fear of this ancient music.
"Mr. Gule went to Freeport this time and received a lot of rare good things." Hines deliberately smiled in front of the fat man: "I also ask Mr. Gule for his blessing. He bought something for me. This time I went to give it to Miss Lodell. I think she must be very happy to come."
Hines was a little excited on his face, and he deliberately looked at Kaman and smiled: "Miss Lodell has always been curious about the things of the elves. This time, Mr. Gule helped me get a magical treasure of the elves. Kaman, I heard that you had also gone to the Elf Tribe in the Frozen Forest to find a few magical treasures?"
Seeing the fat man's unhappy expression, he obviously found nothing.
Gu Le listened, smiled quietly, but deliberately jumped away from the topic and said with a faint smile: "Baron, you are so kind to you, the things I found are really not rare... Well, when it comes to magic, there is a wizard here. Lord Darling, you have the most say in the field of magic. I heard that there have been several big news in the magic world recently."
Chen Daolin looked motionless, glanced at Gu Le, and slowly said, "Oh?"
Gu Le looked at Chen Daolin with a smile: "I heard that the Magic Union has already spread the news. Just a few days ago, something big happened in the east. The Magic Union has issued a notice with a dedicated magic array. I am afraid that many magicians have rushed to the north these days, all for that matter."
Kaman couldn't help but feel a little interested and looked at Gu Le: "The Magic Union has been alarmed? Hey, a special magic circle has been used to issue notices. Huh? Such a lively thing has not happened in many years, right?"
The fat man subconsciously glanced at Chen Daolin, and Gu Le's eyes also fell on Chen Daolin's face, and he smiled and said, "Hello Daling, you are a magician. I wonder if you have seen the notice issued by the Magic Union?"
Chen Daolin has never seen the gate of the Magic Union open wherever he has opened. Where did he see any so-called notice?
However, after hearing Gu Le's words, he felt aroused and immediately guessed what the other party was saying. However, he still pretended to be indifferent and said lightly: "I have never heard of it. I have always been in simplicity and don't care much about the outside world's news."
After hearing this, Hines couldn't help asking Gu Le: "Mr. Gu Le, why haven't you heard you say such an interesting thing along the way? What happened? You must know it, right?"
Gu Le kept paying attention to Chen Daolin's reaction. Seeing that he refused to say more, Gu Le just smiled, then looked at the expressions of Baron Hines and Kaman, lowered his voice and said slowly: "I heard that it is for... that Stone Lady!"
"oh!!"
Hines and Kaman exclaimed in a low voice at the same time.
Gu Le smiled and said, "There is news that it has been confirmed. The Stone Lady was living in seclusion in Freeport. Someone has seen her. The Magic Union has received this news, but I am afraid that the magician law enforcement team has been dispatched. The rewards of the past years have never been cancelled... And the Stone Lady is said to have secret treasures in her hand. I think there are many magicians who are willing to go..."
As he said that, Gu Le deliberately looked at Chen Daolin again: "Hisser Daling, I just heard that you were also coming from the north. Didn't you get news when you were in Freeport?"
Chen Daolin just shook his head: "I don't know."
Since he refused to say it, no one else could ask. Most magicians in the tradition of the Roland Empire were weird. Since Chen Daolin was unwilling to say it, it was hard for others to ask him what he wanted.
Gu Le and Hines drank some more wine and exchanged some interesting stories from the aristocratic circle.
Then Hines offered an invitation: "Master Darling, my convoy is about to go south to Prady. I don't know where you are heading? If you are on the same journey, you might as well start together. I admire the magician the most in my life. If you meet a mage like you, it will definitely make me feel very regretful if you can't make friends with me."
Chen Daolin was embarrassed. Just as he was thinking about not knowing how to answer, the fat Kaman said coldly: "Hynes, you always speak so hypocritically. Since I am on the same journey with Mr. Darling, you can naturally guess that we are going to Prady too, so why bother asking more questions?"
Hines sneered: "Of course I know that you are going to Prady, why are you willing to miss Miss Lodell's banquet? Humph... It's just Lord Darling, is it the old friend of the Liszt family?"
Chen Daolin knew that he could not hide it. Since he had already pretended to be a magician, he simply pretended to be the magician's introvertedness to the end and said in a cold tone: "I was entrusted by someone to send something to Liszt's house."
"That's great." Hines laughed. He laughed generously and said loudly: "Master, since you are all going to the castle of Liszt's house, why not go on the road together. I yearn for magical civilization, and I want to ask you for advice on some magical doubts."
Chen Daolin glanced at Hines coldly and said hard: "It's inconvenient."
His answer made Hines's face look a little ugly. However, the baron was quite well-educated. He smiled embarrassedly and shook his head and said, "Then... well, it seems that I have no chance to get your advice. Well, if you have any instructions..."
"Okay." Kaman suddenly stood up and sneered: "Hynes, put away your trick of being a wise man. Just do your family well in business. What should you recruit magicians? Can you support magicians?"
As he said that, he looked at Chen Daolin: "Hisser Daling, we are full, so let's go on the road now?"
Chen Daolin had already wanted to leave. Hearing this, he said coldly, "um" and stood up, nodded to Hines and Gule lukewarmly, pulled Barossa, who was already feeling uncomfortable, and immediately turned around and left. The little servant Xia Xia hurriedly followed.
Kaman looked at Hines, and finally glanced at Gule and said lightly: "Mr. Gule, let's meet in Prady City."
Gu Le laughed: "You must plot with the general to get drunk."
"Bah, I'm not a general." Kaman shook his head: "Just a second-class adjutant, I can't afford to call you."
"It's just a matter of time." Gu Le laughed: "With Lord Kaman's character, talent and ability, he will become the leader of the army sooner or later."
"That's thank you for your good words." Kaman smiled at Gule, turned around and walked out.
After the few people left the store, Hines couldn't help but breathe heavily and said annoyedly: "This fat man is too arrogant!"
Gu Le smiled faintly, looked at Hines, but did not respond - Gu Le is extremely cunning. He and Baron Hines are just ordinary friends. He knows the background of Fatty Kaman and knows the grudges between the two sides, so he will not rashly comment on such things.
However, Hines couldn't help but say, "That magician named Darling is so arrogant... Humph."
Gu Le smiled at this time and persuaded him: "Master Baron, a magician, has always been a big temper. I think this Darling mage is easy to get along with. In the imperial capital, those magicians are all above the top and can't even say a word."
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "I see this Darling Master, I'm afraid he has an extraordinary origin."
"Oh?" Hines's eyes lit up and he asked, "Mr. Gule, you are very knowledgeable. Did you see something?"
Gu Le smiled and said, "You didn't see that the companion of Lord Darling's two girls, one of whom was older..."
Hines was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sighed softly: "It's indeed a stunning... There are very few magicians who are close to women, but that woman has a great appearance, and Darling is young, so it's not uncommon to like women."
Gu Le looked at Hines, shook his head, and smiled, "The Baron was joking. It's not too strange that the young magician is close to a woman, but I'm a little curious about the origin of that girl."
"Oh?" Hines was a very curious person, and his eyes lit up immediately: "What did you see?"
Gu Le smiled: "I have been in the north for so many days and have walked in the frozen forest several times in person... That girl, if it weren't for an elf, I would be willing to dig out these eyes!"
"Elf?" Hines immediately looked slightly moved and cried in a low voice: "Take an elf girl as a sermon... This Lord Darling is such a big show!"
...
Chen Daolin and his group came out of the hotel. After rushing the carriage and leaving the hotel yard, Chen Daolin, who was sitting in the carriage, breathed a little relieved.
"You seemed a little nervous just now." Kaman suddenly laughed.
Chen Daolin glanced at Kaman and said lightly: "I'm even more strange, why do you want to follow me? Those two are your acquaintances, why don't you ask them for help or just follow them?"
Kaman curled his lips: "To be honest, if it were just that Hines, that guy was a little hypocritical, but his character was not too bad. I wouldn't mind going with him. But, I don't want to drink him and deal with him more."
"Oh?" Chen Daolin was a little surprised when he heard this.
He originally thought that judging from his performance just now, Kaman hated Baron Hines more, but his attitude towards Gu Le was pretty good.
"Although Hines is a bit hypocritical, he is just a noble style. That Gu Le, that man is very cunning, this man is actually smiling, but in fact he has the most ideas in his stomach. I am the most impatient to deal with him."
After a pause, Kaman suddenly patted the wooden board of the carriage and shouted loudly: "Little Dog Luo, how long have you been hiding behind? If you don't die, just make a sound!"
Rodriguez IV's muffled voice came from behind the carriage: "You are so patient! I saw their convoy coming in in the carriage. I saw Gu Le at a glance and hid immediately. I thought you would come out soon, but I told me to wait for so long."
After hearing this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but be curious... It turned out that Rodriguez IV was so afraid of that ancient music.
Rodriguez IV said slowly: "The fat man is right, that Gule... Well, my teacher once reminded me to be careful when dealing with that person."
After saying that, he sighed: "What food did you buy? Give me some, I'm almost hungry."
"I thought you magicians just need to meditate and don't have to eat and shit." The fat man laughed, made a joke, and still threw some food over.
After taking it, Rodriguez IV took it out and took some meat and bite it a few times before saying, "Darling, the wolf locked in the back of your carriage is a bit dishonest... I said, what you said was to give Miss Lodell, wouldn't it just to give her a wolf knight?"
Chen Daolin laughed: "Of course not... that wolf knight is my private property."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, he didn't walk with those people, otherwise, even though Gu Le didn't recognize him, he would definitely recognize the wolf rider who was locked in his cage!
"I have never seen such a strange magician as you." Rodriguez IV sighed behind him, "He actually brought a wolf rider by his side. You are not a gladiator... Do you want to tame this wolf warrior as your warrior escort?"
Chen Daolin felt a move in his heart and smiled deliberately: "Isn't it possible?"
Rodriguez IV crawled over from behind, poked his head out to look at Chen Daolin, raised a thumbs up, and praised: "I'm brave enough! I don't dare to do such an interesting thing."
"Is it difficult?" Chen Daolin frowned.
"It's not that there are no taming wolf warriors. There are many tamed orc warriors in the empire. However, there are no magicians who use orcs as entourages. You must know that when we are fighting, what we are most afraid of is the enemy approaching, so the entourage warriors who are close to each other must be absolutely reliable to a certain extent. These orc warriors are wild and difficult to drive away. God knows when they will suddenly bite you. If you are mindful of spells and fight against the enemy, who can eat orcs around you for a moment? If you are not my race, their hearts will be different! If you dare to use orcs as close entourages, you are either geniuses or madmen!"
Speaking of this, Rodriguez IV looked at Chen Daolin deeply: "Do you have any special unique means to tame orcs?"
"No." Chen Daolin told him calmly.
Rodriguez IV was stunned and laughed: "No?"
"It's really not." Chen Daolin sighed: "If I say, I don't know how to tame orcs at all, do you believe it?"
"..." Rodriguez IV was stunned.
Fat Kaman said a little dissatisfied with the tone and snorted: "What's the hard thing about taming an orc? If I want me to say something, I will be hungry for two days if I don't obey. If I don't obey, I will whip it! I see if it's hard bones or the master's whip! After a long time, there are no disobedient orcs!"
Rodriguez IV spat, his tone was very contemptuous: "Your army did this to deal with orc coolies! If a magician wants to conquer his close samurai escorts, he must be sincere and loyal to the other party!"
After hearing this, Chen Daolin didn't say anything, and just thought secretly in his heart.
To be honest, I bought this wolf warrior on a whim, but I didn’t think too much about how to deal with it. At first I just thought that it would be very powerful if I brought such a wolf warrior by my side, but now I think about it, how could such a proud, ruthless orc, obedient to him honestly? This is the biggest trouble.
"Orcs have always been difficult to tame." Rodriguez IV said: "If you are an ordinary escort, signing a magic contract can ensure the loyalty of the other party. If you dare to rebel against your master, you will naturally be subject to magic backlash. But these orcs have always been fierce and fearless. When they are crazy, they are not afraid of magic contracts at all. I heard that a magician once wanted to subdue orc escorts, but they were killed when they were crazy. Even if the orc escorts were backlashed by magic, they died... "
Chen Daolin sighed: "Then... have you not used orcs as entourage?"
"... There are still some." Rodriguez IV thought for a while and smiled: "The previous generation of Tulip Dukes had used orc entourages, and... some holy-level magicians have also been rumored to have subdued orc entourages. But... those supernatural and sage-like powerful people are not something we can guess."
The three of them sighed. Kaman and Rodriguez IV admired each other, while Chen Daolin was helpless.
To be continued...
