"Ahem, by the way, these things are really delicious." Link changed the topic with a smile, as if he didn't see the hopeful eyes of those old guys at all, while giving Count Weir a look.
While turning his head to himself, he seemed to be very interested in the food and wine on the table. He smiled and said in greetings: "These are all unique things here. I have never seen them before. It's really strange."
!”
"Well, yes, these are uncommon things. If we don't meet distinguished guests, we won't take them out..."
"Let me introduce it to you. This is specially used to entertain distinguished guests..."
"You see, this fire saliva crystal is of great benefit to both magicians and knights. In order to collect this fire saliva crystal, many sons and daughters of the Yuanyue clan have sacrificed their lives.
The price, but over the years, we have only collected a limited number of them. They are our lifeblood. We will take them out this time because you, the Bright Knight, are related to the fate of our entire Yuanyue clan.
…”
"Yes, yes, when I mention this fire saliva crystal, I think of my poor grandson, woo woo woo..."
These old guys have been underground for who knows how many years. One or two of them are very well-educated. At the beginning, they could remain calm and just follow Link's ramblings. But when they saw Link smiling,
Without saying anything, these old guys gradually began to become anxious. Each one of them had something to say and made insinuations, and some even started to get emotional and burst into tears.
I don’t know that from tens of thousands of years ago, the Yuanyue clan has been forced to stay in this kind of ghost place without seeing the sun for the rest of their lives. They occasionally go up to the ground to relax, but they are not allowed to
Without giving up the dignity of intelligent creatures and adopting the same form of activities as inferior and stupid demon wolves, this makes the Yuanyue clan, who even think that they are nobler than humans, feel extremely uncomfortable psychologically. Now these people cannot survive.
The old guy who knows how long he is is not as calm as Link, and that's why.
"What distinguished guest?! What hope of the Full Moon Clan?!" When Link was about to be pestered to death, Earl Weir finally accepted the meaning conveyed in Link's eyes, and slapped the table in cooperation, shaking the table
The cups and plates jumped wildly, attracting everyone's attention. Count Weir stood up and snorted coldly: "As a member of the intelligent race in ancient times, you, the Yuanyue clan, use this kind of etiquette."
Invite your distinguished guests, and invite what you say is the hope of the Yuanyue Clan?!"
"This...you..." The old man sitting next to him hesitated to address him, and finally he was vague and said: "You mean..."
"Where's my little niece?! Where's Carol?! She's still a little girl who doesn't understand anything and has no resistance. But how do you treat her?!" Earl Weir's angry performance made everyone
Link, who was used to seeing such a cunning and treacherous man in the mage tower, could not help but admire him secretly. The werewolves around him also became quiet. Count Weir's roar resounded throughout the space: "For someone who has no power to fight back,
A little girl inflicts violence, kidnaps and threatens people. Is this still the attitude that an intelligent race should use when inviting distinguished guests?! You have simply brought shame to all intelligent races! If anything happens to Carolus, huh... huh... huh...
"
Earl Weir spoke passionately, and from the corner of his eye, some werewolves who were originally scattered nearby were attracted by his words. The old man among them was still sitting as steady as a mountain, just looking over, it was dark outside.
There was a circle of burly men standing on the ground. Although Earl Weir felt that they were all moved by his impassioned speech, he unconsciously swallowed back the harsh words he was about to say and just uttered a few vague cold words.
Hum instead.
"So that's it." The old guys looked at each other and laughed easily: "The princess, like the Bright Knight, is the great benefactor who was said by the oracle to help our Yuanyue clan return to the ground. And we are
How could you hurt the princess?"
"How can there be any princess here?!" Count Weir was frightened by them calling her "princess" one after another. He glared at the old guy sitting in the middle and said, "I'm talking about Carol, my little niece."
But the old guy just gave him a meaningful look, said nothing, and directly shouted to the werewolves: "Invite the princess up quickly."
A powerful wave of power was clearly transmitted from far to near. This time, not to mention Link, even Earl Weir could clearly feel it, but he couldn't see anything. The place where the wave of power came from
, those werewolves gave way to a spacious road one after another, as if there was an invisible giant slowly walking towards them. The feeling of being invisible but intangible but actually existing brought people
Feeling a strange pressure, Weir's hand tightened on the hilt of the sword, and he could hardly help but stand up and pull out the sword.
"The earth wolf clan?" Link just frowned slightly, turned his head calmly, and asked casually: "As expected of an intelligent race inherited from ancient times, it actually still exists.
Creatures like the Land Wolf Clan that only exist in legends really opened my eyes."
"Good insight." Just when the old guy was obviously stunned by Link's words and didn't know what to say, a deep voice came from the ground: "Sure enough, there is something interesting!"
With the sound of that voice, the little princess slowly "floated" out of the ground, as if the solid ground under her feet was water without substance. Count Weir was stunned when he saw the little princess completely "floating"
After coming out, Earl Weir saw clearly that under the little princess was a pair of big hands supporting her. A burly figure that was much taller than all the werewolves present slowly rose at the same frequency as the princess.
Appeared on the ground.
The hair on his body was so tangled that it was almost impossible to see what he looked like. He looked like he had not completely transformed from a demon wolf into a werewolf, but he closed his eyes and stood there, so that no one would notice anything.
What stood before me was the feeling of a guy who still had his bestiality.
"We have met before." He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Link: "On that cliff!"
"Yes." This guy's rambling words made everyone a little confused, but Link seemed to have known it for a long time. He looked at the tall werewolf in front of him and nodded: "He is born with the ability to control the earth.
The Earth Wolf clan with such elemental abilities is probably unique among the Yuan Yue clan. No wonder I couldn't find you until I was just tracking you."
In the same book that recorded intelligent creatures like werewolves, he also saw records about mutated werewolves such as earth wolves. Just as there are certain magical geniuses among humans who are born with the talent to control certain elements of nature. Similarly, among the werewolves, there is a very small chance that a mutated werewolf who is born with the ability to control natural elements will appear.
Since the werewolf race naturally has a certain degree of resistance to magic and fighting spirit in terms of physical fitness, the probability of such mutants appearing in the werewolf race is higher than that of humans and even all other intelligent races. They are much smaller, but once such mutant werewolves appear, they will be much more powerful than mutants from other races.
Just like the earth wolf in front of him, the book said that this kind of creature can naturally walk through all the earth and rocks as if it were nothing. It's no wonder that Link didn't notice this secret spy on the cliff that day. guy.
No wonder they took such an unusual step in this year's big festival. It turned out that they were already being targeted by these guys even before they entered the small village.
"Okay, don't talk so much first." Count Weir ran forward, picked up the little princess, and helped her to the side. Looking at the unconscious little princess, he nervously raised his head and yelled at the werewolves. Said: "What's going on?! What's wrong with Carol?!"
"It's just to prevent the princess from being frightened, so I let the princess rest for a while." The land wolf still stared at Link. When Count Weir took the princess from his hand, he didn't make any move, but retreated. He took a step forward to show goodwill and said: "Elder Shida, please wake up the princess."
"This is best." Link saw an old werewolf walking next to the little princess to cast a spell. The little princess soon woke up. He also stood up and said to the werewolves: "Wait until Carolus recovers. , we are ready to say goodbye."
With his current knowledge, he could tell at a glance that the princess was indeed cast under a drowsy spell and did not suffer any substantial damage. Even if the werewolf mage did not take action, it would not be a problem for him.
The reason why we have been wrangling with these werewolves for so long this time is because the little princess is still in their hands. Now that the little princess has returned to the hands of Count Weir, there is no need to stay any longer.
Regarding the so-called Bright Knights mentioned by the werewolf clan and the oracle and mission of bringing the Full Moon clan back to the surface, Link, at least for now, has no plans to do it.
From what they saw in the small village, Link and Weir already had a preconceived hostility towards the so-called Yuanyue clan. If the little princess was not still in their hands, they would not be in the mood to keep talking to these guys. Pretend to be polite.
But based on their method of asking the residents of the small village to dedicate an unmarried woman every year, Link and the others cannot accept it.
Moreover, Link and Earl Weir also discovered that although these werewolves spoke politely, their wariness towards each other had not diminished slightly since they entered the valley. Until now, The wolf's eyes were still locked on Link tightly, and the position he occupied was the best offensive position ready to take action at any time.
When the wolf appeared just now, Link could tell that he deliberately adopted such a method to create a coercive atmosphere. If he hadn't already understood their intention, Link would have
I won’t follow the score that I laid out for a long time.
Therefore, although Link had a strong interest in this intelligent race passed down from the ancient legend era for his own reasons, he also made up his mind to send the little princess away from this awkward place first.
Although with Link's current ability, he is still relatively confident in dealing with these werewolves, he is not willing to put the little girl like Carol in danger again.
He didn't know the identity of the little princess yet, and he didn't even think about it at all. However, whether the little girl was a princess or an ordinary little girl, Link's desire to protect her was the same.
.
"We, the Yuanyue clan, are the most hospitable intelligent race." The land wolf took a step forward, looked at Link, and said, "A few people have already come here, how could they leave so quickly?!
"
"Oh?" Link wasn't surprised either. He just looked at the wolf and said, "What? You still want to keep us?!"
"Humph, you are still saying that you are a distinguished guest?" Count Weir saw that the little princess had completely recovered and was sitting aside. He was relieved, stood up and said to the ground wolf: "It only took a short while for her true face to be revealed.
Now, do you still want us to work hard for you?!"
"The real princess and the Knight of Light are of course the distinguished guests of our Yuanyue clan." However, the land wolf was not moved by Count Weir's words at all. He looked at Link and said, "But now who knows that you are real?"
Or the fake Knight of Light?!"
"Riodor", the elder sitting in the middle stood up and called out in a false voice: "The princess and the Bright Knight are the hope to lead our Yuanyue clan back to the earth, so we must not be rude!
"
"Yes, Great Elder." The earth wolf named Riodo bowed symbolically, but still looked at Link with a provocative look, and said: "It's just that although our Yuanyue clan wants to fight against
The devil has been trapped in this dark underground for endless years, but he still will not allow anyone to pretend to be a knight of light and blaspheme our gods and beliefs!"
"Well, what you said is not unreasonable." The great elder nodded pretendingly, and seemed to have thought deeply before saying, "In your opinion, how can we..."
"Okay, okay", Link couldn't listen any more, and interrupted the conversation between the two of them, saying: "You two don't need to sing along anymore, don't you just want to fight with me?
Why don't you just say it now? Listen to your dialogue. How many years have passed? Why are you still doing the same thing?! I said that the werewolves who were once known as the most generous among the intelligent races, when did they learn so much?
What a twist and turn?!"
In that space, all the sounds suddenly disappeared and became completely silent.
All the werewolves, including the great elder and the earth wolf Riodor, were dumbfounded by Link's sudden words. They stood there with their mouths wide open unconsciously.
"You...how do you know this is an old routine?" the great elder said subconsciously: "Have you ever heard of this legend of the Yuanyue clan before?!"
Although the Yuanyue clan cannot be called completely straight, they are indeed the most forthright and direct race among the intelligent clans that lived on the earth at that time, especially since they have stayed underground for so many years.
They were facing only a few of their own clansmen, so of course there was no need for those thoughts.
Therefore, their singing together was really the inspiration that the great elder got from those ancient stories that he had memorized by heart. Unexpectedly, he was broken by Link's uncooperativeness. His thinking was temporarily short-circuited and he spoke smoothly.
He told the truth, and after he said it, he realized something was wrong. He couldn't help but blush, and stood aside a little embarrassed.
With a "Puch" sound, the little princess couldn't help laughing and made a face at Link.
"How's it going?" Link was in a good mood when he saw the little princess recovered so quickly. He smiled and said to the dazed Earth Wolf: "Do you want to fight now?! How do you want to fight?!"
"Fight! Fight! Of course we have to fight!" The wolf came back to his senses and laughed. He came over and patted Link's shoulders with both hands and said with a smile: "Interesting! It's really interesting! You are so refreshing, kid.
Regardless of whether you are a Knight of Light or not, I am determined to be your friend, and I will definitely do so!"
Link smiled slightly and did not answer.
He could feel the earth wolf's enthusiasm without any malice, so he let his hand slap on his shoulder. To be honest, he quite admired this earth wolf's character, if it hadn't happened in a small village.
Those things left an unsolvable knot in his heart. He might actually make friends with the land wolf in front of him.
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing." At the critical moment, the great elder still spoke with a blushing face, but this time he said directly to Link: "Whether you are a light knight or not, our full moon
No one in this clan wants to be your enemy, so this battle is just to verify whether you are a knight of light, so I hope you can use the power of light to defeat Orido!"
"The power of light, right?" Link chuckled, looked at the Earth Wolf in front of him, and said, "Of course, of course!"
He didn't want to expose his strength, so he had already thought of the way to fight this time before he stepped forward.
He didn't quite understand what the power of light in these werewolves' words was, but he had already thought about it. Staying for a while would definitely make this earth wolf feel very happy!
