The painful experience of escaping from the Dragon's Nest Cave taught Zhou Qingfeng that if an ordinary person wants to find a way out of a strange predicament, he must make a lot of trials and errors and find hidden opportunities in the paths of death.
Zhou Qingfeng rescued the imprisoned orcs because he wanted to see what would happen after he was rescued? As for whether there would be danger, he didn't think much about it. After all, he was used to death. It was nothing more than saving and reading files. At most, he felt sorry for the money.
That's all.
Orc Todd has a flamboyant beard, is over 2.3 meters tall, and weighs over 200 kilograms. Zhou Qingfeng, who is 1.8 meters tall, is much shorter than him. He has a wide frame and bulging muscles. Although he is ugly, his body is full of explosive energy.
the power of.
Both wargs were eaten alive by Todd, leaving only their skeletons. After he was full, he wiped his bloody mouth and asked Zhou Qingfeng: "Boy, why don't you run?"
"Do I need to run?" Zhou Qingfeng was not very scared, he just wanted to know what kind of character the violent and ugly man in front of him was and whether he could communicate with him.
Oh, Zhou Qingfeng replied casually, still looking at the ugly face of the orc, "My name is Victor Hugo, what's your name?"
"My name is Todd, no last name."
"You are so powerful, how could you be locked up in a cage by a group of goblins?"
Which pot won’t be opened?
Todd jumped up when he heard this and cursed angrily: "It was Old Hughes from the Mortar Pit who harmed me. He sold me to that gang of goblins while I was drunk. When I find an axe, I must
Go chop his head off."
"Why did you sell you to the goblins?"
"Because when I was hungry, I often went to rob the Magru tribe in the forest, that is, that group of goblins."
"Is the Maguru tribe strong?"
"Not strong. How can goblins be strong?" Todd shook his head at first, but after a while he cursed bitterly: "Those green-skinned guys are so numerous that they can't be killed no matter how hard they are. They are everywhere in the Black Forest.
They are all their nests, at least hundreds of thousands of them."
Hundreds of thousands doesn't sound like much.
In Zhou Qingfeng's impression, the population of a town is only a few hundred thousand. There are so many such towns among flower growers. He continued to ask: "What does the black forest you talk about look like? How many towns are there? The nearest human town to us
how far?"
This question stumped the stubborn orc. Todd pondered in confusion for a long time, then shook his head and said: "I don't know what the black forest is like. I only know that you can go to those places by taking those roads.
The Black Forest in the Icefield Mountains is too cold, too remote, too dangerous, and there are monsters everywhere. You humans don’t have large towns here, only some poor small villages, with a total of only two to three thousand people."
Only two or three thousand?
Such a comparison shows that the goblins of the Magru tribe are very powerful. After all, too many ants can kill an elephant.
"Since this place is so dangerous and humans are so weak, why don't everyone move away?"
"Move? Where can we move?" Todd thought this question was a joke. "Humans in the Black Forest make a living by gathering, hunting and logging. Although life here is hard, there are many specialties. Many adventurers come here.
Make a fortune.
As long as you make money, merchants will naturally bring bread and ale in. Even if you don't have money, there is a lot of food in the woods. As long as you are strong enough, you will not go hungry."
After asking around, Zhou Qingfeng roughly understood the environment he was in. Todd asked: "Boy, do you have an axe?"
"Do you think I have an axe?" Zhou Qingfeng only had a sword in his hand.
"How do you know without asking? Maybe you can bring me a big ax?" Todd shook his head, "No human would ever save an orc. You either treat us as slaves, or you treat us like slaves."
Sent to the Colosseum.
Regardless of the fact that you humans are very magical, you are not very good at fighting and killing, but you are good at making things. Axes and ale are your best creations. By the way, you humans are also very cunning, and there are many evil-hearted profiteers."
The two were chatting when the sound of rumbling horseshoes and wheels came from the road. Zhou Qingfeng turned around and knew that the team of the old knight Nasser was coming. He quickly stuffed his sword into his trousers to cover it, and then pulled Todd to stand on the road.
side.
The human knights passed by slowly, all looking sideways at the strange combination of young humans and sturdy orcs on the roadside. Looking at the smashed prison car and the two goblin corpses on the ground, the scene became even more strange.
The armored old knight Nasser glanced at the horse but did not stop. The cavalry continued to move forward in pursuit of its mission. Zhou Qingfeng had a good impression of the old knight and couldn't help but say to Todd
Finished sentence
"What excitement is going on in the Black Forest? I just saw a dragon in the morning, and I saw such a cavalry again at night."
Zhou Qingfeng said neither lightly nor seriously, and his words floated in the wind. In just a moment, more than a dozen people in the cavalry reined in their horses and turned to stare at him. Todd quickly removed a piece of equipment from the prison car.
Holding a wooden stick, he raised his eyebrows coldly and prepared to attack.
The old knight in front raised his hand and the entire cavalry stopped. He turned his horse's head, quickly returned and dismounted and walked towards Zhou Qingfeng, "Young man, good afternoon. I am the Knight of Naser from the Principality of Os.
Did you just say you saw a dragon?"
Todd was also surprised and turned around and asked: "When did you see a dragon?"
"Just this morning, a dragon with dark red scales was on a mountain peak not far from here. It was a mountain as straight as a knife, and the dragon stayed in a cave. There was also a very high road outside the cave.
cliff."
Zhou Qingfeng said it very carefully. He wanted to help the old knight Naser, but at the same time he was unhappy that the red dragon Aratis actually wanted to marry the beautiful Princess Inisha and was deliberately causing trouble.
The old knight has heard many rumors about dragons from various places in the past year. They are all the verbal conjectures of foolish men and women in the countryside. He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at the accessories pinned to his collar, and his heart was beating wildly - 'Recognize lies'
''s magic accessory glows green.
He has been searching hard for almost a year, and is exhausted mentally and almost to despair. In the last few days before the deadline, there is definite news. Even the old knight can't believe it is true. The subordinates around him also looked at the accessories on his collar, and they were all surprised.
Yu Xi fell from the sky.
"Young man, can you take us to the place you mentioned?" The old knight was a little excited and took a few steps forward. He took out another money bag and gave it to Zhou Qingfeng, "Please help us, we have been looking for that place.
A dragon."
"Actually, it's not far. You can just walk through a forest. It's getting dark now, and I can't lead the way." Zhou Qingfeng really wanted to intervene in the 'Dragon Quest' thing, but he didn't want to go in and fight in person.
.
This must be extremely difficult. In order to find the correct angle of attack, Zhou Qingfeng had to be as careful as peeling off the cocoon. Now he just wanted to point the way, and he didn't want to run back to see the evil dragon in the dark.
"By the way, there are a lot of bandits around here, and there are also jackals. You must be careful." Zhou Qingfeng reminded again.
The old knight looked at the sky. There was only a moment's delay. The light in the forest was a little dim again. But he still wanted to pull Zhou Qingfeng up and was thinking about how to speak.
Todd shouted in a rough voice: "Give me a bag of money and I will take you there."
Zhou Qingfeng raised his head and asked the silly orc, "Where are you taking them?"
"I live in the Black Forest. There is no place here that I am not familiar with. There are 'knife-like peaks', caves and cliffs. Isn't it the nearby Razor Cliff? I can walk there even in the dark." Todd affirmed, patting his chest.
, "As long as you give me money, I will lead the way."
The old knight was greatly moved, while Zhou Qingfeng held his head, feeling that things were out of control. He said, "Well, since you have a guide, I won't go."
Todd held Zhou Qingfeng's shoulders and said, "You are a good human being. In order to repay you, I will take you to slay the dragon. I will give you half of the treasure in the dragon's nest."
"Wait, slay the dragon?" Zhou Qingfeng was stunned and angrily cursed: "Slay your sister, do you think that dragon is a lizard? If you want to die, don't drag me with you. I don't have enough savings to die in vain."
