The Lord of Laman City finally understood the general situation of the northern border from Xiao Xipu, and then turned around and asked another crucial matter: "... By the way, you said before... that knight asked you
Did you bring me a letter asking for help? Is it the oral message you mentioned earlier, or is there a formal letter?"
This is really not a superfluous question, because the cognitive level of the people at the bottom is indeed very poor. Usually, a sentence will change significantly after being passed by two people. If it is passed to a few more people, it will be a thousand miles away, or even
It is possible that someone will have two versions of the same thing after sleeping, which is really to the extent of living in a state of confusion...
Little Xipu had received food from the lord opposite, and he was in awe. Suddenly being asked this question reminded him of a lot of important tasks that he had previously ignored!
Of course, it’s not Xiao Xipu’s fault~
After all, he was a poor man from the bottom who didn't know much about Chinese characters. Apart from his natural cleverness, what he usually came into contact with the most was the power-handling skills in the blacksmith's workshop. Otherwise, he just listened to all kinds of gossip from other helpers.
What awareness and ways are there to exercise personal abilities?
But this time a "heavy duty" suddenly came from the sky, Naihe was first excited and inexplicably experienced a fantastic and gorgeous "flight journey"... then he was almost frozen into a human-shaped popsicle by the cold all night... and then was frozen by a group of Lathanders.
The veterans of the city rescued them with all their skills, and were then delivered to the majestic Lord of the city...
After a series of ups and downs, even though Xiao Xipu was extremely determined to fulfill the "Lord Knight"'s instructions, he still forgot Liu Yifei's series of instructions after being rescued... It was not until he was asked directly by the lord that he finally remembered.
It was just over a day ago that someone earnestly asked me before leaving...
Originally asked by the Lord of Laman City, Xiao Xipu subconsciously responded "I have faith!" and wanted to walk out. Then, as soon as he took two steps, the other person froze and squirmed, but then looked embarrassed.
Turned back:
"That...respected...respected lord...that...lord knight asked me...before he asked me to hand over the letter to you, he also asked me to ask, my lord, have you ever received it before?"
A letter of request for help from the green field area?
Also...are there any locally...are there..."
At the end of the sentence, Little Xipu frowned with some difficulty and thought about it, and then suddenly remembered something important, and asked with excitement: "The Lord Knight asked, Sir, do you have anyone from the 'Squatting Walker' family?"
Raman was actually very unhappy with the various incompetence and offenses of the thin man opposite him...but he could not deal with this man at will just like he treated the untouchables under his control.
After all, the other party is one of the "reinforcements" sent by Harmondale, and he is even currently responsible for conveying emergency military information to him!
If you punish someone just because you don't understand etiquette and don't abide by etiquette, it won't be easy to explain to that "knight" later...
So Raman had no choice but to suppress his impatience and ignore the other party's various reckless actions... However, Que was still a little angry by the other party's last rhetorical question!
It was obvious that he was asking questions, but why was he being questioned by the other party as well?
[These untouchables are indeed a group of barbaric and rude pigs...]
"The 'Squat Walker' family? You want to say the 'Shield Walker' family, right? No, there are no members of the Shield Walker family in Lathander City. But I know there is one of their estates further south, what? Your Lord Knight
Still want to contact someone from the Shieldwalker family?
If that's the case, I can do it for you... But I have never received requests for help from the Green Field area...
Okay, you asked and asked, where is the rescue letter? Go and get it for me..."
After receiving the Lord's words, Little Shipu took the two guards sent by Laman and ran back to the griffon pen in Lathander. Under the guidance of the cleaning veteran, he quickly found the beast that Little Shipu was riding on.
That fighting gryphon.
After all, they are war beasts from Harmondale. They are the same species, and their strength gained from battles makes them obviously much stronger than their counterparts in Lathander! Even if there are not many of them locally,
The remaining fighting griffons only dared to stand guard around this "foreign griffon" from a distance. No one dared to jump over directly to provoke with force...
As an "exotic eagle", Little Xipu's temporary mount also behaved quite arrogantly, not interacting with other wary similar people around him, but just silently occupying one of the best positions in the animal pen, lazily basking in the air.
He looked up at the sun and took care of his appearance, as if he were a high-ranking knight sitting in a certain place.
After wandering to the "own griffon", Xiao Xipu tested it a little and found that fortunately, the monster had no intention of attacking him. He then cautiously bowed his head and walked forward until he reached the battle griffon. Under the opponent's sharp gaze,
He stood bowed under the scrutiny, neither moving nor raising his head to look at the other person...
After dawdling like this for a while, until he heard an impatient cry from the fighting gryphon, Little Xipu gently groped at the lower part of the gryphon's chest, close to the middle of the two strong forelimbs...
Of course, all of this was actually taught by Liu Yifei, an idiot before the operation - do you think the reborn people only know some of the general trends in game history?
wrong!
Ten years of gaming experience, switching to the NPC world is a long life of decades!
After Liu Yifei has dealt with countless NPCs, creatures, enemies, and players, even his seemingly ordinary actions in daily life have condensed countless past life experiences - things like inventing potions are relatively obvious, like the current series of little Xipu's encounters with lions.
The detailed behavior of the eagles in getting along with each other is really an experience that others can’t easily detect even if they are not careful!
At the moment, perhaps the only ones who know how to truly get along with griffins are the "griffin trainers" of the Edric family.
But the key point is that this kind of craftsman can be said to be the only one in his family. Can Edric's griffon family easily let him leave the area under his control, or tell others these "precious craftsmanship" without permission?
Therefore, Xiao Xipu's series of seemingly cumbersome but unlikely to arouse others' actions are actually a very cherished method for dealing with unfamiliar griffins at the moment - lowering his posture, showing his humbleness and respect for the griffins,
And only approach the other person after getting their approval...
In this way, we can truly get the "secret message" that Liu Yifei hid on the griffon at close range before leaving - among the huge dense feathers under the chest between the forelimbs of the fighting griffon, three strips of cloth are quietly tied at this moment.
Two primary colors, one black.
In the end, Little Xipu hesitated a little, and finally took away the two primary-color cloth strips, and then rearranged the griffon's feathers to ensure that outsiders would not easily notice the existence of the last small black cloth strip, and then brought the so-called
The "letter for help" was sent to the Lord of Laman City~
Of course, as expected, not long after Little Xipu left, someone tried to get close to the battle griffon to check it out. However, even the spell consultant sent by the lord, there were still dozens of meters between them.
The position was met with an angry warning from the battle griffon, and even later almost caused a commotion among the griffons around Lathander's stable. After all, it was impossible to really get close to the battle griffon, and could only stay far away.
It took a lot of effort to use magic to detect...
But he couldn't figure out the reason, he just confirmed that there was no magic power fluctuation on the opponent's body.
Of course, little Xipu didn't know about the commotion in the rear. He just followed Liu Yifei's instructions and learned that the "Lord" here had not received a request for help from the Green Field area. He sent a letter of request for help from "original color" and another also
The "original color" letter that needed to be forwarded to the "Shield Walker" family was handed over to the Lord of Laman City, and then he was taken down to officially rest~
Not to mention, after this series of tossing, Xiaoxipu is indeed very tired. Now that he has been allowed to rest, especially if he can have a full meal before going to bed, it really makes Xiaoxipu feel like he is in heaven.
…
On the other side, the Lord of Laman City looked at the two short and rough "cloth strips" on hand, and after hearing the replies from his men and not getting any other clues, he couldn't help but fall into silence.
The content of the "letter for help" sent to him by the Green Field District was similar to that of the untouchable before, but the key difference was that the brief "letter" stated that the undead's southward invasion was temporarily driven away by Harmondale.
The incoming reinforcements have been contained, and the entire Green Field area is currently undergoing orderly transfer work. I hope that the rear (that is, the Lord of Laman City) can send some soldiers to clean up the roads along the way, and it is best to investigate the original messenger post road.
, looking for the reason why the previous waves of rescue teams were missing...
In addition, I hope that Laman will try its best to send some food, ordnance and other materials to the north.
Of course, it doesn’t take much. The most important thing is to clean up the north-south corridor to ensure the safety of the road for the upcoming immigration wave in the north...
This letter asking for help... was not long, and the content was quite satisfactory. After reading it, Raman even sent it to his subordinates to read, intending to listen to their opinions later.
However, Laman seemed a little hesitant about another letter on the side that he hoped to forward to the "Shield Walker" family...
A very important reason is that in the Kingdom of Erathia, the privacy of peer-to-peer correspondence between nobles must be protected by the unspoken rules between nobles!
After all, we are all "respectable people"~
Even most private letters involve important secrets or exchanges of interests!
In order to keep secrets, the nobles themselves have developed a series of "security measures". It is not too unusual to even set up magic traps in secret letters...
However, this "letter" that Raman has in hand right now... I don't know if it's an oversight or something, it doesn't even have an envelope! Just like the "official letter" to himself, it's a simple piece of cloth, and I don't know who the frontline is.
How do people think that they still want to send private letters?
Raman hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the letter and read it. However, at first glance, his eyes shone slightly, as if he was greatly interested in the content of the "letter"——
Different from the "official letter" given to him, in this "secret letter", the sender finally mentioned his identity, which also allowed Raman to learn more about the situation in Karava Castle at this moment.
It turns out that Harmondale's troops supporting Kalava this time were led by a young man named "Geralt Hornbow"...
[Ha~ Jiao Gong? This surname is a pariah at first glance. No wonder he would use an ignorant person like that just now as a messenger. Looking at it this way, I can understand the other party's vulgar methods...]
Raman smiled indifferently, but he also remembered the name of the "knight" called "Geralt". After all, he was from the "Kingdom Guards Training Camp" in the royal capital, and he also worked with the "Shield Walker"
We are familiar with "Master Anderson" in the family.
This makes sense why the other party is related to the "Shield Walker" family - after all, they are all a group of barbarians~
Think about it, isn’t this how the Shield Walker family started?
But the content that follows really makes Raman a little interested...
Because the other party was familiar with Anderson, he allowed the Shieldwalker family to try to contact Anderson to prove his identity. At the same time, he also told the Shieldwalker family that the Diya side's southern invasion army seemed to be weak this time and had been defeated by his leader.
The troops had thwarted the southward invasion and were trapped in the countryside north of Karawa.
But the problem is that the local defenders of Kalava are unable to overcome the loss of land, so this guy named Geralt wants to unite with the Shield Walker family and let them send some elite soldiers from the clan, and he will persuade the local army of Kalava to recognize the Shield Walkers
The family's military exploits in the liberation campaign were used to benefit everyone...
Compared with the "official letter" to himself, Raman subconsciously felt that the content of this "secret letter" was more credible!
It's not that Raman trusts the "friendship" between Geralt and the Shieldwalker family. After all, depending on the other party's intentions, he is afraid that this is also a temporary contact, and he is even afraid that the other party may not be considered a member of the Shieldwalker family.
friend.
But the problem is that the most important thing among nobles is nothing more than "real profit"!
To put it bluntly, without aristocratic status, actual fiefdom, strong combat power, or anything else to rely on, why is a "noble" so valuable?
So once actual interests are involved, if someone interferes with it, it will almost be a provocation or even a declaration of war against the other party's entire family! It is even a great shame that can only be washed away with the "blood of the nobles"~
And for "emerging military merit aristocrats" like the Shield Walker family, are there any "fundamental interests" that are more important than actual "military merit"?
As long as this young man named Geralt, who looks like a civilian soldier, is not crazy, it is impossible for him to lie to the Shieldwalker family about this kind of thing.
And with that said...
Doesn’t it mean that the so-called “battle situation” in the Green Field area is better than what the other party told us!
It has even reached the stage of reaping the final victory???!!!
Thinking of this, Raman's calm heart started to feel a little restless~
In any case, he has been stuck at the price of "Viscount" for too long, and it's time to find a way to move up...
