Chapter 356: Sad D'Artagnan, the pattern is broken
Generally speaking, the so-called assistant may have two meanings: one is a powerful helper who can really assist the principal in his work; the other is more of a nominal assistant, but actually serves as a supervisor or even supervisor.
.
Considering that the relationship between the Tauren and alchemy is almost insulated, Moriarty's initiative to ask the Torch Prophet to send an assistant to him should be to give the "Forge Tribe" a position similar to a "supervisor" so that the Tauren can control it at all times.
The completion progress of the enchanting work. Of course, having such a tribesman around will also facilitate the communication between Moriarty and the tauren and avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Very good, I will assign an assistant to you." Zhu Luobu's thoughts were flowing, and he was extremely satisfied with the "thoughtful" suggestion of the human mage. Then he looked around at the surrounding tribesmen, and suddenly pointed at Dadani, who still looked confused.
Ang: "You come to be his assistant."
"I?"
As if struck by lightning, D'Artagnan looked at the old minotaur with disbelief in his eyes.
Just kidding, I was still thinking about having another fight with that guy, but now I was named by Mr. Zhu Luobu and sent to be his "follower". Is this the rhythm of packing and giving gifts?
"Yes, that's you." Ignoring Dartagnan's innocent gaze, the old tauren struck again: "Remember, if the human mage gives you any instructions, you must carry them out. This is related to the honor of the tribe and the enchantment.
This important matter cannot be ignored, do you understand?"
"…yes…"
D'Artagnan no longer wanted to resist, but he did not dare to go against the words of the Torch Prophet, so he could only bow his head and admit it with a dark face.
"Mr. Moriarty, as for the furnace room, I will arrange a furnace mouth with the most stable firepower for you. Don't worry." The old tauren is also an expert. He understands that alchemy is like making love, and it does not mean that instant ferocity can do it.
To get things done, we value more stable, even, and durable "firepower", and this is especially true when choosing a smelting furnace fire.
"Okay. Thank you very much."
All the requests made were fully met by the other party, and Moriarty also smiled with satisfaction.
Next, under the guidance of the old tauren, he went down the passage in the center of the summit platform and entered the interior of the furnace hill. As the introducer, Tartar was far from qualified to enter the core of the Minotaur tribe.
It is sad to be able to return to the caveman village at the foot of the mountain.
"Where is Master Moriarty?" Seeing that only Elder Tartar returned alone, Bokos immediately stepped forward and asked.
"I was left as a distinguished guest up there." Tartar sighed after looking at the caveman young man.
"What!?" Pokos immediately whispered.
In just a moment, Master Moriarty "conquered" those rude and arrogant "tauren"? How amazing and efficient, right?
"What are you yelling about!"
Tartar was also in a bad mood, and when he heard Pokosi making such a noise, he lowered his face and scolded him, then ignored the young caveman with a strange expression and walked away. However, no matter what, the "+
Having obtained the dagger with "1 sharp attribute", Tartar didn't have many reasons to complain. After thinking about it for a while, the old caveman's mood improved again.
In the furnace hill, Moriarty followed the old tauren down step by step, unknowingly going deeper than a hundred meters. In other words, he had now actually returned to the level of the small plain, and even further
below.
The Minotaur truly deserves the nickname "Clan of the Labyrinth".
Along the way, Moriarty saw that the hills had actually been excavated by the Minotaur tribe. There were endless tunnels that were criss-crossed, countless connected stone chambers, large and small, and there were many ingenious ideas and unique designs.
, which makes people unaware at first sight, but only when they actually go through it will they suddenly become aware of it, and even be amazed.
For example, if you want to go to a downward passage, you must first walk up a row of stairs that go straight upward; another example is that there are four or five tunnels in front of you. But none of them is the correct passage, but there is a wall hole directly opposite these tunnels.
There are hidden secret doors inside. In addition to these ingenious arrangements, there are also other disguises, secret doors, and mechanisms everywhere, and there are hidden mysteries.
Of course, Moriarty believed that the passages the old tauren took him through must be ordinary routes used daily. As for those top-secret passages or strategic tunnels, the other party would never reveal them so easily.
But even just like this, as he descended deeper and deeper, Moriarty could only barely remember the main passages and stone houses he walked through. And this was achieved with the obvious connivance of the Torch Prophet. If he were a complete outsider, no one would guide him.
, if you just walk around on your own, you will be completely lost in this super maze that the Minotaur spent more than a hundred years and generations of people building in less than a moment or three. Even if you just go a little deeper, you will be more convenient and safe.
I'm afraid it's impossible to move back.
Thinking about it this way, the fact that the dark elves of "Fallen Stars" can allow this tauren tribe to live freely must be due to the vastness of the maze and its difficulty in conquering it.
After basically walking down a vertical height of about 150 meters from the top of the hill, the Torch Prophet stopped in front of a scorching stone house. Although there were stairs winding down ahead, it was even more difficult to get there.
The core protection area of the Minotaur is really inconvenient and does not allow people other than tribesmen to enter.
"There are many underground fire outlets in a row of stone chambers here. The quality of the furnaces is good. You can choose one at will. However, the temperature inside is not low. I wonder if you can adapt to it."
Zulob demonstrated and pushed open the door of a stone house. Immediately, a wave of scalding heat surged out, accompanied by rolling white steam that could almost cook food. But for these, whether it was Zulob or the one who kept saying it,
Not even noticing that D'Artagnan, who was following him, seemed completely unaware.
Moriarty, however, felt the hot temperature hitting his face and nodded with satisfaction.
This is indeed a pure natural smelting treasure! It takes a lot of coal and firewood to create such a high-temperature furnace on the ground, but it is inevitable that the fire will be impure and even contain impurity particles. How can it be as pure and clean as the mouth of the ground furnace?
It is the best place to refine large metal equipment.
Seeing that the human mage only smiled with satisfaction, but did not show any discomfort or fear, the Torch Prophet also nodded appreciatively, while D'Artagnan secretly hissed in his heart.
"Just this one."
After glancing around, Moriarty did not check them one by one, but directly selected a stone room. The reason was that the stone room he chose was located at the far end, in other words, it was the most secluded and least vulnerable.
Where the interruption lies.
"No problem, it belongs to you now." Immediately, the Torch Prophet agreed with the human mage's choice.
"Okay, now that you have chosen the stove mouth, you can make your own arrangements. If you have anything or need, you can tell d'Artagnan. As for those three things, I will send someone to deliver them later.
Come. As for the special materials required for enchantment, you can make a list to me, or I will take you to the tribe's warehouse tomorrow and you can choose directly..."
Then, the old tauren paid some attention to some matters and strictly ordered d'Artagnan to "work hard" before leaving. And watching the torch prophet disappear at the far end of the passage, d'Artagnan only felt that he was being
A discarded calf is now being "played with" by a surface human being.
"Let me introduce you again. My name is Moriarty, a human mage." Looking at the strange look on the young tauren's face, Moriarty naturally understood the other person's psychological state, and took the initiative to approach him with a smile.
"D'Artagnan." The young tauren lowered his head and glanced at the human mage. He only said his name in a humming voice and refused to say more.
"Do you still want to fight with me again?" Moriarty said suddenly, looking up at d'Artagnan for a moment.
"…yes!"
Minotaurs are stubborn and will not hide their thoughts, so they admitted it openly. However, d'Artagnan then remembered the strict order of the Torch Prophet and had to add: "But the Prophet asked me to be your assistant.
So I won’t fight you.”
"It doesn't matter. Julob asked you to listen to my instructions. I allow you to have another fight with me. How about it? Let's fight here quickly. After the fight, no matter whether you lose or win, don't worry about anything anymore.
Alright. Is that okay?" Moriarty smiled again.
"What did you say?" D'Artagnan's eyes widened, the muscles on his strong body tightened, and his fists were clenched into sandbags.
"I said it." Moriarty nodded with a meticulous expression: "You can start at any time."
"You said it! Then the fight will begin now!"
Now that Moriarty had reached this point, d'Artagnan, who was already mentally ready to move, could no longer bear it. He immediately punched the human mage in the face with a punch. Now that the two of them were so close, it was precisely
The best distance for combat classes to break magic classes, the tauren certainly don't want to waste the opportunity and give the opponent time to release those annoying and obstructive magic puppets.
But finally, d'Artagnan still knew how to measure. He had not used all his strength in this punch in the past. He was also worried that he had really seriously injured the human mage. When he turned back, the Torch Prophet would definitely peel off its calf skin. However, the Minotaur
What I thought was a light punch, by human standards, was no different from a heavy blow with a mallet. If an ordinary magician was hit like this, his head would probably not be blown off directly, but at least half-exploded.
However, d'Artagnan punched out like a storm and "pierced" Moriarty's forehead directly the next moment.
What's going on? Seeing his big fist that penetrated deep into the opponent's "head", the tauren was stunned for a while.
In the blink of an eye, the human mage who was standing there just now slowly disappeared like a phantom.
And behind d'Artagnan, a white lightning light lit up.
Immediately, thunderbolts fell and hit the minotaur's head. Immediately, d'Artagnan was electrocuted and "scorched on the outside, tender on the inside" and twitched. But when he turned around with some difficulty, what he saw was
It's a rested Moriarty and ten red crystal gargoyles lined up.
"continue?"
Moriarty waved the wand in his hand and smiled at d'Artagnan. (To be continued) i580
