From Ke Jin's point of view, the silence in this valley was a bit eerie.
In fact, it doesn't like this silent state, because danger is always lurking under the calm waves. It is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, which will jump out and bite you unexpectedly.
Ke Jin is a leader of the Lizardman Dragoon Cavalry unit. In its usual operational missions, the orders it receives are often direct and simple—attack or plunder—but the Dragoon Cavalry occasionally serves as a reconnaissance unit, which is their most important task.
One of the most annoying tasks. Scouting is too dangerous, especially in the jungle. Professional skills often have more say than speed and flexibility.
Coggin also doesn't like situations where he can't use his strengths.
It raised its head, and its narrow prismatic pupils reflected the white-gold light of the morning sun. The warmth of the sun dispelled the last trace of coldness remaining after the night. When this temperature penetrated into the cold blood of this lizard man, it could not help but
Shivering, the lizard-man lieutenant shook his head in disgust. It used the lizard clan's unique nose structure with a keen sense of smell to track the unusual smell in the air - the order required them to search for traces of a group of humans, but those humans were there.
Where?
To the north of Chablis, there is a vast and boundless forest. To be honest, Ke Jin felt that it was a bit fanciful to find a few people in this forest.
But the lizardman lieutenant still carefully grasped the spear tightly, with his right hand forward, with only three fingers pointing to the forest ahead. He made a series of high-frequency sounds, ordering his men to spread out and enter——
But it didn't realize that it had made a mistake at this time.
It only realized this when Ke Jin sent his men into the strange forest and lost sight of them.
But even if he reacted at this time, it seemed a little late. The lizard man wanted to retreat in a hurry - and at the same time, he was still thinking about how to prepare a plan to attack its leader - the leader of the lizard men.
Heyukier explained that four precious dragoons were lost due to one of his own negligence.
This question is not easy to answer. Although Heyukier is a vulgar and unsociable upstart in the eyes of most of his subordinates, he is also a shrewd lizard man. Ke Jin knows that his leader is not good.
Fooled. How should it answer? But it soon discovered that it didn't need to worry about this question.
Because when it turned around, it saw a human and an elf standing behind it. As for when they appeared there, Ke Jin had no idea at all. It only knew that the elf staring at him coldly - no, that should be
It's a silver elf. Recently, they often go to the cemetery of the silver elf king to cause trouble, and Ke Jin also gained some insights.
That silver elf was exuding the unique aura of a peak gold level powerhouse.
The outcome of the battle was predictable. It is hard to imagine that five "weak" lizardmen cavalry would have any room to resist in front of more than twenty golden peak warriors.
Therefore, Ke Jin had no choice but to surrender.
…
Sometimes a tiny mistake can kill someone.
But the only thing that makes the lizardman lieutenant happy is that those who captured it don't seem to be planning to kill it for the time being. But unfortunately, this is just one of the many bad news that seems easier to accept. Ke Jin
As a scout myself, I know very well that the reconnaissance troops sometimes grab some tongues and let the prisoners live a little longer before getting the information they want. But their final fate is usually only one, and the scouts will not act with them as burdens.
of.
This sounds weird, but it is true. Sometimes death is not the most terrible thing.
If you don't tell the truth, those indifferent scouts have many ways to make you taste worse than death. As an experienced scout and an even more experienced lizard bandit, Ke Jin is very aware of what will happen next.
It's not unfamiliar. But it's not afraid, because it's already prepared to tell everything it knows as soon as the other party presses it.
Lizardmen don't have any moral integrity.
And the lizardmen who are bandits are even less likely to exist.
Its hands and feet were tightly tied with a rope, but it still raised its head and looked around carefully. However, Ke Jin quickly discovered a fact-if they wanted to catch their tongues, these people would not be able to catch them too hard.
A few were missing. The lizardman lieutenant soon saw that all his subordinates were dead, four of them, no more and no less. He was not an idiot and immediately realized that his living situation might be a bit dangerous.
So who are they? What do they want to do?
Ke Jin was thinking about this problem, but suddenly his eyes darkened. The two humans and silver elves who had captured him were already standing in front of it. The lizardman lieutenant immediately swallowed his saliva, and his eyes rolled.
If it can survive, it is willing to do so no matter what.
But the key is how to save your life?
While it was thinking about this profound question, Brando was also staring at it. Because Amber Sword is not a game that plays cards according to common sense. In fact, those players who originally transferred from the past PC and next-generation home consoles
After suffering all the losses, I gradually figured out this rule.
Of course, these experiences are passed down through the process of gradual accumulation. Brando, who has experienced the post-virtual era, has naturally learned how to adapt to the way the cards are played in this world.
He first stood in front of the lizard man lieutenant, carefully scrutinizing the other person, and then smiled slightly.
He squatted down in front of Ke Jin, stretched out his hand and patted the other person's rough, narrow face, and said gently: "I know," he said: "You are thinking about what I will ask, and then you can tell me everything you have."
What you know, and then beg me to spare your life, right?"
Ke Jin opened his mouth wide - revealing about a hundred sharp teeth - it felt as if he was ready to face all enemies, but unexpectedly he was punched in the face by his opponent and was chewed up in the mud.
Same. The lizard shook its head and couldn't figure out why this human knew what it was thinking, or did it mean that the other person had the ability to read minds?
But if the other party has such ability, doesn't it mean that its only chance to save its own life is gone? Ke Jin couldn't help but tremble, and took a step back and said, it doesn't expect the chance of survival, it only wants these terrible things.
It would be enough if the enemy didn't torture it properly before it died. It couldn't help but stare at Brando with its prismatic pupils vigilantly.
"Are you scared?" Brando asked again.
When he said this, he felt a low chuckle behind him. He recognized the voices of Roman and Antitina, as well as the pair of wild elf sisters, and then most of the Lubis mercenaries joined in.
Come in. Brando couldn't help but feel a little annoyed for a moment, thinking that I said you should give me some face anyway, didn't you see that I was doing business?
But this is also a very helpless thing. In fact, when he said these words to the lizard man for the first time, everyone present was shocked by him. But after experiencing it for the second time, or even the third time,
After that, everyone discovered that their lord was just pretending to be a ghost. But maybe these people didn't understand that Brando was not actually mind-reading, nor was he pretending to be a ghost, but that he was actually the same as these robbers and bandits.
Having dealt with many NPCs like this, he already knew some of their basic reactions. Brando already knew which NPCs had moral integrity and which ones did not.
It's just that the lizard man Ke Jin obviously has no room to care about other people at this time. He has been frightened by Brando. He is almost convinced that this human being is a wizard, a terrible wizard who can see through people's hearts. Of course, he still has a trace of doubt.
, but immediately saw Brando standing up and taking out a ruby from his arms, shaking it slightly, and asked: "You can try to answer my question -"
Ke Jin was dubious, but as soon as it opened its mouth, he found that he couldn't make any sound. Although his mouth was still opening and closing, there was no sound at all.
This time Ke Jin was really frightened. Although wizards in this era are far less mysterious than before in the chaotic era, those people in such remote mountainous areas still have terrifying power in their hearts. Ke Jin couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked at Brando blankly, wondering why the other party wanted to 'steal' his voice.
But Brando held the ruby in his hand and withdrew the silence technique. He looked at the energy in the gem and saw that there were 6 rounds left - then he put away the gem and said to the lizard man with a serious face: "Look
Come on, I can take away your ability to speak, or I can give it back to you. Voice is part of the soul, and what I can take away is not only your voice, but also your soul."
The young man's voice cooled down: "The body will rot, but the soul will live forever. Therefore, the punishment and pain of life itself are often temporary, but have you ever tasted the torment of the soul forever in the flames?"
Ke Jin shuddered and quickly shook his head.
Brando smiled gently, squatted down and pressed the other person's forehead and said, "How about you do me a favor?"
The lizard man nodded as if he was pounding garlic.
…
"You mean they evacuated to the southwest?"
"Yes, boss. My people saw them retreating along the southwest valley on the mountainside. I don't know if they discovered us..."
When Ke Jin pushed the door open and entered the hall belonging to Heyoukil, he saw one of his colleagues reporting something to their leader sitting on the high chair in the middle. This scene made it a little nervous, but in the end
Still the survival instinct prevailed, it took a breath, gathered its thoughts and walked up.
The lizard man who was making a report seemed to have finished what he wanted to say at this time. Under Heyukier's signal, he turned around and passed by Ke Jin, leaving the hall. Our lizard man lieutenant did not dare to
He turned around and did not dare to look directly into Heyoukiel's eyes. He could only lower his head in such a situation - but he immediately recognized that there were two extra people in the hall from the number of boots on the carpet.
In fact, it knows these two people. They are both human beings, but they seem to have some relationship with their leader. Ke Jin has seen these two guys yesterday afternoon, but it knows that it is the leader's business, and it does not dare to
Ask more.
It silently recited what Brando told it in its mind, Martha on top, and it swore that it had never even recited the prayer clauses so seriously.
The threatening words of the human wizard are still in my ears, my life is at stake.
