Great Change Chapter 0013 Repeated defeats and repeated battles
An accessory that can detect lies?
Zhou Qingfeng was very curious. He secretly thought that this was not a portable polygraph, so he couldn't help but look at it attentively. The old knight took it off and handed it over, "Young man, this is for you."
Ah..., we met by chance, how can this be so embarrassing? I'm not coveting your things.
"Don't worry, just accept it." The old knight said warmly: "I am Princess Inisa's guardian knight, and I swore allegiance to her to the gods. But this year, my search has been fruitless. You give me today
I am very grateful for the good news."
Zhou Qingfeng hesitated and didn't know whether to reach out or not. The old knight had already put the accessory on his collar. Looking carefully, he saw that it was a crystal corsage, small and unique.
"This is a 'lie-detection corsage', but it won't detect lies every time. It depends on the intelligence and perception contrast between you and the liar. If you encounter an opponent who is good at deception, it will not be able to detect lies at all.
It is useless and may even mislead you." The old knight said.
Oops... I've got other people's things, so I can't do anything without help.
"Princess Anessa is in a nearby place called Razor Cliff. Aratis imprisoned her in a cave on the cliff. There is a Razor Village under the cliff, where a group of villains and bandits live. Uh..., I
He is considered a person from that village."
Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head in embarrassment and looked down at the corsage. The corsage showed no reaction. He looked at the old knight again and asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
The old knight smiled generously and said, "There are many mysterious things in this world. Powerful oracles and high-level arcana can all help to spy on secrets. As a mortal, I don't expect to see through every secret.
This corsage has been with me for decades, but I can make a judgment just by looking at your expression and movements. I know which parts of your words are credible and which are not. Young man, you are actually not good at lying. Go on.
."
Zhou Qingfeng's face turned red with embarrassment. He smiled awkwardly, "The gangsters in Razor Village are responsible for keeping Aratis' secrets. They will not allow you to board Razor Cliff. Maybe you can sneak in secretly, but I can't guarantee it.
It will definitely succeed.
In addition, there are widespread rumors in the Black Forest that your team is carrying sky-high price gems. A man named McCann has gathered a group of bandits, including seven or eight jackals and an equal number of human bandits. That guy is in the camp ahead, he
Planning to attack you tonight.
Oh..., by the way. I just got an orc named Todd from the goblin. That guy is silly, but he should be quite capable of fighting, and he is very familiar with the environment here. You can spend a small amount of money on it.
Hire him for help.
That's all the news, don't ask me how I know it. Anyway, if you ask, I can only lie to you. Next, you can think about what to do? I just have one request, help kill that bastard named McCann, I
I’m going to cut him to pieces with a thousand knives.”
The members of the cavalry slowly stepped forward. Some were on guard outside, but most people still gathered around the old knight. After hearing Zhou Qingfeng's description, they were either excited or surprised, and they were waiting for Knight Nasser to make a decision.
The old knight calmed down, thought carefully for a while, and asked Zhou Qingfeng many details. Before he made a decision, a loud voice came over and shouted...
"Hey, Victor, I thought you ran away, but it turns out you haven't gone far. I've thought about it and accepted your employment. Food and accommodation are included, and I can sleep anywhere I want.
"
The strong and ugly orc roared over, startling everyone in the cavalry. Zhou Qingfeng glanced at it and introduced to both parties: "This is Todd. He was arrested by a group of goblins because he was drunk.
Already."
After being exposed by Zhou Qingfeng in front of so many people, Todd cursed impatiently: "It's all the fault of that bastard Old Hughes. If I had an axe, I would chop him down right now. And those damn goblins, I'll kill every one I see."
One, I will never let go."
Zhou Qingfeng continued to introduce, "This is Knight Nasser." He didn't say anything unnecessary, so as to save this big mouth from shouting everywhere.
The old knight wanted to shake Todd's hand, but the orc shook his head and said: "I don't want to have relations with you humans. Your nobles are too hypocritical, your businessmen are too cunning, and your farmers are too timid. By the way, do you have an axe?"
"
Zhou Qingfeng could only laugh in embarrassment at Todd's nonsensical words. The old knight looked at Zhou Qingfeng, not caring about the orc's nonsensical words, but asked: "Sir Todd, are you familiar with this forest?
?”
"Of course." Todd said without hesitation, "This is my home."
"Can you do me a favor?" the old knight said.
Todd shook his head from side to side, "I don't do anything to help others."
Zhou Qingfeng was still wondering whether he should roll his eyes, but the old knight smiled and said: "Then let me do you a favor first." He turned around and ordered, and the members of the cavalry took a mountain ax from the carriage.
This is a real big ax, specially used to break obstacles and open roads in dangerous areas. It is indispensable for a cavalry team to travel in the wild.
Wow...!
When the ax was handed to the orc's hand, Todd cheered and shouted. He grabbed the ax in his hand and swung it vigorously. While swinging it, he yelled and laughed like a child. He danced until he was covered in sweat.
, ran up to the old knight and got close to him.
Zhou Qingfeng shouted in a funny manner: "Orcs will never be slaves."
"Shut up, that's never been said." Todd was anxious. He yelled angrily at Zhou Qingfeng, and then tweaked the old knight and said with a rough voice, "For the sake of giving me the axe, you are all good people.
.No matter who you want to kill, I'm willing to help. It's just that I have a big appetite, so you have to prepare more food."
The old knight just laughed but was not in the mood to waste time with the two teases. He hid part of the information from Todd, only saying that he was going to lead a team through Razor Village to Razor Bluff. The gangsters in the village would definitely not let him pass, so he asked if he could
There are no paths to cross.
Todd was really familiar with every corner of the Black Forest. He shook his head and said: "Unless you can fly, you must pass through Razor Village if you want to go to Razor Cliff. There are more than a hundred villains in Razor Village, and outsiders will never be allowed to pass through.
of.
It's not impossible to sneak in secretly, but the number of people cannot be too large. Because the gang of villains are very alert and quite powerful."
Zhou Qingfeng made a suggestion, "Maybe we can fake the news and lure the people out of the village. As long as there are gems worth millions waiting to be snatched, they will definitely be like dogs eating shit and can't stop them."
The idea is simple, but effective. As long as there are enough baits, there is no need to worry about those bastards not being fooled. But now Zhou Qingfeng can only talk on paper when it comes to conspiracy, and the details of his ideas are always inappropriate.
After hearing this, the old knight directly denied it. The last time he led the team into Razor Village, he did not have enough information. Now Zhou Qingfeng has almost made everything clear. His opinion is to simply set fire to the village, which can easily cause chaos.
As expected, Jiang is too old, and this idea is simpler than luring the enemy. Zhou Qingfeng originally thought that Knight Naser was a very generous person, but now he realized that he was unambiguous when it came to being ruthless. So he had no objection and continued with the cavalry.
forward.
Due to the encounter on the road that delayed a lot of time, it was already completely dark when the cavalry arrived at the river camp. Zhou Qingfeng wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to round up and kill McCann who was staying in the camp to burn the fire pit, so that this bastard would die unknown.
Not white.
But when they arrived at the camp, the situation was different from what Zhou Qingfeng expected. The forest clearing was completely dark, the fire pit in the middle had no fire at all, and McCann was nowhere to be seen.
Knight Nasser went to the fire pit and touched it, "Someone lit a fire here, but left not long ago, and poured water into the fire pit to cool down, creating the illusion that no one was there. Mr. Hugo, I'm afraid the McCann you are looking for
