Chapter 141 No one knows better than me how a fox pretends to be a tiger
…
Xigu Farm is located in the Golden Fertile Wilderness, less than ten kilometers away from the South Trading Post in Rolling Stone Town.
The golden fertile plains reached here, and there were layers of folds on the land bordering Rolling Stone Town.
These folds are called "West Valley Mountains".
Here stands a set of undulating hills, on which kobolds or other humanoid races occasionally appear.
In the center of the mountain there is a west valley with a beautiful stream flowing through it.
It is said that every summer, white deer from heaven come here to drink water.
Nearby residents unanimously believe that this legend is nonsense.
But this does not prevent Nishigu from becoming famous.
The farm with its backing to this valley also got its name.
The owner of West Valley Farm has a blood relationship with the lord family of Red Earth Mountain. Before the war broke out, the current lord of Red Earth Mountain liked to go to West Valley Farm for vacation.
It is through this relationship.
This place has not been affected by the flames of war and has become the only pure land in the golden fertile wilderness.
When Matthew found the owner of the farm, he only mentioned a vague date and reserved a large piece of wasteland within the farm. In addition, he also ordered a large amount of "Sanqiu Ale" produced by the farm.
The farm owner originally wanted to refuse.
However, Matthew gave a lot.
And his identity as a mage also adds a lot of color to him.
Just this scene right now.
This was unexpected by the owner of the farm.
When Rolling Stone Town was negotiating with Red Earth Mountain, he was accompanying them outside as the owner of the place. As a mortal, where had he ever seen a battle like a magic carpet landing?
He just stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do.
soon.
The angry voice of Red Earth Mountain came from the room:
"Why would there be anyone else?"
The owner of the farm suddenly got excited after hearing this. He hurried in and said with a smile:
"Sir, there seems to be a group of mage masters over there. They are part of some alliance."
The representative of Red Earth Mountain suddenly stood up from his chair.
He walked to the window, stuck his head out, and looked at the magic carpet and figures in the open space in the distance:
"So many mages?"
"It's not from the Seven Saints Alliance, is it?"
Said.
He turned around and looked at the Rolling Stone trio with suspicious eyes.
But no one answered him.
The air inside the house seemed to be getting hotter.
…
On the open ground.
The mages walked off the magic carpet one after another.
The vast plains that stretch as far as the eye can see.
About fifty meters ahead, there are regular wheat fields. The early summer wheat has picked out its green ears, shaking slightly in the sun.
Wheat fields in the distance.
A sparkling river flows diagonally across the plain, like a slender silver ribbon.
The gentle wind blows across the earth, mountains and rivers, and across everyone's faces, giving people a relaxed and happy feeling.
At Matthew's greeting.
Several helpers from the farm came over pushing two wooden carts.
The car is loaded with specialties from Xigu Farm——
Sanqiu ale.
In addition, Matthew also prepared a lot of food for the mages, which was arranged in the form of a dining car outside the farm, and was guarded by several members of the garrison.
They came with the three representatives from Rolling Stone Town.
With the arrival of the food truck and ale.
The wasteland gradually became lively.
A few mages found an open space and eagerly used house spells to build temporary residences for themselves.
However, their actions were only halfway through.
Ekmund, who had been observing his surroundings, suddenly opened his hands:
“It’s so hot in the summer, how can there be no shelter?”
On wasteland.
Tall treehouses rise from the ground.
The big trees supporting the treehouses are intertwined with each other. Some treehouses are built underneath, while others are suspended in the air. The tallest one is built on the canopy of several trees!
Dense branches and leaves blocked the sunlight overhead.
There is no obstruction between the wasteland and wheat fields, and the west valley and the river in the distance are also unobstructed.
"If your belly is empty, how can you not have delicious food?"
Ekmund's voice seemed to be smiling again.
A seemingly endless magic table appeared between the mages.
There is a dazzling array of food on the long table:
“After visiting the project for half a day, everyone has worked hard, enjoy it!”
Under the impatient eyes of everyone.
Ekmund smiled and announced the start of the feast.
What shocked Matthew was.
Everyone present was obviously a respectable mid-level mage, but as soon as Ekmund finished speaking, they all pounced on the long magic table like hungry tigers pouncing on prey!
They eat the food on the table without any image.
As for Matthew's food truck.
Naturally, he was completely left out.
"Is it so delicious?"
Matthew curiously took a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Soon, his brows furrowed.
smell……
I can only say it’s average!
…
"Tip: Ekmund used the "Legendary Feast Technique"!
You have eaten the legendary magical food "Ekmund's Love Strawberry", and your mental power has been slightly improved!"
…
"!!!"
"Can these magic foods add attributes?"
Matthew's eyes immediately lit up.
At that moment, he no longer cared about the sorcerer's reserve and dignity, and immediately joined the gobbling army!
For a while.
All the mages lay on the table and feasted.
Only Ekmund smiled slightly. He slowly came to the top tree house and looked towards the south.
Watch and watch.
His expression became serious.
…
"It seems like they just passed by by chance and have nothing to do with us."
Beside the window, several people from Red Earth Mountain observed for a while and came to this conclusion.
The delegation sent by Hongtushan to negotiate this time consisted of more than a dozen people, headed by a warrior named Jeffries.
Of course, both sides knew that there was a Red Earth Mountain army hidden in the mountains of the West Valley.
Their number exceeds two hundred, and they are the same group of people who threatened the South Trading Post before.
Jeffries returned to the negotiating table impatiently.
He and the three people from Rolling Stone Town stared at each other for a while, then they couldn't help but frown and asked the people around them:
"Where did I just say that?"
The attendant next to him added:
"Old man, sissy and chest hair!"
Jeffries immediately continued:
"Rolling Stone Town is too much!"
"Just send you three to negotiate with us?"
"No sincerity at all!"
Richard tapped his gentleman's cane gently, showing an emotional expression:
"It has been many years since little gangsters showed off their power in front of me. I really miss this feeling. When I go back, I must tell Rhaegar to thank him for giving me an experience like yesterday."
The voice fell.
A straw rope that was originally scattered at Jeffries' feet suddenly started to shake.
It quickly spun wildly around Jeffries' ankles, and a second later, Jeffries was lifted upside down by a force.
Wow.
The chair fell to the ground.
Everyone in Hongtu Mountain was horrified to see their leader hanging upside down in mid-air!
The straw rope that wrapped around his ankle was thrown upward and hung on the beam, automatically tying a knot!
"What did you do? Put me down quickly!"
Jeffries' face turned red.
His follower wanted to rescue him, but Zeller raised his finger slightly, but with a croak, the follower turned into a frog and jumped on the ground.
The others just took action.
A dozen straw ropes suddenly appeared on the ground.
These ropes did the same thing as Jeffries, hanging everyone upside down on the beam in one breath!
When the owner of the farm at the door saw this scene, he was so frightened that he immediately turned around and closed his eyes.
"Your methods are too rough. We are here to negotiate. How bad it is for you to scare others!"
Lorraine complained to Zeller and Richard dissatisfiedly:
"You can easily turn people into frogs, just in case they leave a psychological shadow. So you warlocks are just careless!"
"And you, people just called you an old man, is that all?
Silver Snake is amazing. Isn't the ability of the Silver Snake Domain the ability to control all objects similar to snakes?
If it were me, I would never be taken over by you. As long as I'm tough enough, I won't be controlled by you."
Richard snorted:
"You'd better stay hard."
Seeing Luo Lan speaking for herself and others with a smile on her face.
Jeffries seemed to see a glimmer of light:
"Yes, yes, we are here to negotiate! Put me down quickly, if you have anything to say."
However, both Richard and Zeller were unmoved.
Luo Lan could only sigh softly:
"Originally, I wanted to tell you all about Mr. Jeffries' glorious deeds after I put you down. It seems that you don't have that blessing, so you can only listen while hanging upside down."
As he spoke, he cleared his throat:
…
"Jeffreys was born in a village in the northwest mountainous area of Red Earth Mountain. His father was a hunter, and his mother ran away with others a long time ago.
When you were seven years old, you stole the saddle of the only retired knight in the village and tried to sell it to the knight's son. As a result, you were severely beaten by him.
When you were nine years old, you tried to rape your cousin, but failed and was beaten severely by your cousin.
When his mother found out about this the next day, she beat you half to death.
A week later, your father, an Orion, came home and heard about this incident. He didn't beat you, but he almost castrated you.
After that, you fled your hometown and wandered around the Red Earth Mountains.
Two years later, you joined the Skunk Mercenary Group and were appreciated and reused by the group leader.
But only half a year later, you failed because you tried to rape the leader's wife.
Several women from the mercenary group teamed up to pick out an egg.
This time you learned the lesson and escaped from the mercenary group before the leader came back.
You've had a lot of jobs since then -
Shipped moonshine to kobolds;
Pimped a quilboar prostitute;
I also used to cheat on dogs, but my skills were not good and I was often beaten.
You are a born animal, and you are always unable to control your animal desires and evil thoughts.
But you are a born waste. Even if you are raped, you have never been able to succeed.
The closest you come to success is with the quilboar whore.
You and three others teamed up to rape her.
This is your first experience with the opposite sex.
But unfortunately.
You soon discovered that it was a passion between the quilboar prostitute and the other three patrons. You only joined to make the night more enjoyable. To put it bluntly, you are still a useless tool.
A year ago, your distant cousin got rich suddenly and found you to be his bodyguard.
You have acted honestly this time.
It's a pity that he sold you to the lord of Red Earth Mountain backhandedly, and you became a member of the mercenary army inexplicably.
Maybe time comes.
When the mercenary army attacked the golden fertile field, the people who charged the most were killed by the villagers with pitchforks, but you, who followed the second group, got the first victory by chance.
You have since been promoted to captain of the Red Earth Mountain Northern Expeditionary Army. A week ago, you were ordered to come here to negotiate with us.
You took three flights last night.
I called again this morning.
Because you are nervous.
Am i right?
Mr. Jeffries?”
…
Jeffries listened to Lorraine's devilish narrative with dizziness.
His eyes almost popped out of his head!
"Look, I'm not a narrow-minded person. You ridiculed me so much, but I just gave you a precious lesson: remember, don't offend anyone who dares to expose your chest hair, you will die miserably."
Lorraine smiled like a sunny and cheerful boy.
For those who don’t know, I’m afraid they thought he was telling a warm and touching story.
"They can't listen to any stories because their brains are so congested right now. It seems like you're wasting your time."
Richard sneered and snapped his fingers.
All ropes are automatically untied.
Everyone in Hongtu Mountain fell to the floor with a plop, and everyone started crying and howling.
"A character like you is worthy of negotiating with us?"
Zeller, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up.
He stared seriously into Jeffries' eyes:
"Please ask the mage behind you to come out. I know he is the one who is really responsible for negotiating. It is really meaningless to find a few clowns to act as shields. If you don't show up within an hour, I will dismantle the surveillance nearby.
magic."
"Rolling Stone Town will take this as a signal that Red Mountain's alliance intentions are a fraud, and we will reconsider the relationship between the two parties, and may then take all actions including war!"
The voice fell.
Jeffries' eyes suddenly lit up red.
A soft hum came from inside:
"I know, Warlock."
…
Near the farm, in the west valley, an army is on standby.
In a temporary camp.
A mage in gray robes was pacing uneasily:
"I told you not to provoke Rolling Stone Town, but you refused to listen!"
"After the assassination failed, they came up with this weird idea of forming an alliance, and they asked me to negotiate with them. What a nonsense!"
"How can I do better than Jeffries?"
The object of his complaint was a man wrapped in red armor.
His movements looked very stiff, and his whole person looked like a wooden barrel covered with red paint.
His voice was also dull and inhuman:
"You must go."
The mage said angrily:
"Can you say anything else besides this? What's the point of me going? That's a silver snake!?"
The barrel man looked at him blankly and asked slowly:
"Silver snake, what is it?"
The mage was silent. After a moment, he sighed and said:
"Honestly, I don't know either, but it sounds like a very powerful character. He is probably a high-level rogue, maybe even a fifth-level character!"
"That poet can tell the story of Jeffries' life with just one sentence, and he looks like a ruthless person. If they are both at the fifth level, what can I do? Accompany Jeffries to die?"
"I have some abilities, but in the end I'm just a fourth-level necromancer!"
After listening to this, the barrel man seemed to think seriously for a while.
However, after a moment, he still said in a low voice:
"You have to go and find out the details of Rolling Stone Town."
"The master said, no matter what method you use."
"must go!"
It seemed that it took a lot of effort for him to say these words, and he never spoke again.
The mage kicked over the teapot next to him in annoyance.
He walked quickly to the other side of the camp.
A handsome-looking male apprentice followed closely behind him.
"Lord Henry, do we really want to go?"
The apprentice's voice was very soft and he looked very scared.
The mage named Henry said helplessly:
"Everything we have is given by the master of Red Earth Mountain, and we have to do whatever he says."
The apprentice thought for a while:
"Can we use other methods to find out the details of Rolling Stone Town?"
"By the way, didn't you say you knew someone from the Seven Saints Alliance?"
"Didn't a group of mages from the Seven Saints Alliance happen to land at the West Valley Farm?"
Henry suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He thought for a while.
Suddenly he clapped his hands excitedly:
"You're right, we can pretend to be powerful!"
"It's just a negotiation between two small territories. Even if Ronan's face is still there, the lord of Rolling Stone Town will definitely not use this favor for this kind of thing. It would be too wasteful, so we can be sure - those mages
I passed by by chance."
"I can definitely go over and get close to them, pretend that I know them, or even pretend that I am a member of the Alliance of Seven Saints, and then make contact with those bastards from Rolling Stone Town!"
"This idea is very correct, but the details need to be improved, but it shouldn't be a big problem. I often do this kind of thing, and no one knows the power of a fox and a tiger better than me!"
After saying that, he hurriedly took the apprentice and left the valley.
Head straight towards the tree house where the mages are enjoying the shade.
