Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Fortunately, the danger was only in the initial period, when pizza rushed over... Although Zhou Lingke always felt that pizza would be too brittle as a war beast, it was also compared to the armies and war beasts of other countries he had seen. Not these hunters and tents in town who somehow suddenly turned into mobs.

"We have no intention of hurting you!" When Zhou Lingke and Xia En hid in a safe place, that is, under the feet of Pizza, the other party yelled such a sentence.

If those javelins and arrows hadn't touched Zhou Lingke's scalp and nose, then maybe this sentence still has some credibility.

"We didn't hurt anyone! Those laborers! Soldiers! Mr. Magician who followed you away and came back! Even that nasty Hodget!" shouted someone with a louder voice.

Zhou Lingke couldn't help poking his head out a little, and was immediately pulled back by Xia En.But at the same time, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great……"

"I knew it earlier, because there is not such a big smell of blood."

"Boss, you are called an afterthought."

"I didn't say what happened to them before."

"Didn't I say the same?"

Well, from the accident until now, the two of them have been busy running for their lives, and they didn't have time to say anything at all.

Looking at each other, the two of them also knew that now was not the time to be talkative, and it was enough to say a few words to relax their nerves.Xia En pressed Zhou Lingke's shoulder, and won with brute force under the other's stare: "I'll ask them what they are going to do. What are you going to do—!?"

"Leave!" The other party yelled so loudly that one of them was hoarse, and the anger could be heard in such a simple word.

This is where their ancestors lived for generations, but now they are forced to leave, which obviously makes them feel angry, especially when they regard Zhou Lingke as the culprit.

"Are we leaving?"

"No! Let us leave safely! Otherwise, you will know how many hostages we have in our hands!" Two people were pulled over, one of them was only wearing the lining of the armor, and the other's mage robe was obviously a little tattered, it was Sai Lun and Mike Rui.Although the distance was far, it was enough for Shane to see their situation clearly.Sai Lun's eyes were open, but he looked like he was sleepwalking, his eyes were dull, and his body was as limp as noodles. He could only be supported by two abductors.McCree was clearly conscious, but there was a large bruise on his face, and the pushing and shoving of the hijacked car made him extremely angry, but as a magician, being approached by a tall and strong enemy could only be this result.

You don't need many hostages, just these two people are enough for Pizza to wait safely in place!

"How do I know that you will let them go safely!" Xia En shouted at the other party, then turned to look at Zhou Lingke, "What can you do?"

"No." Zhou Lingke spread his hands, also helpless, "We should watch more films about negotiators before we come."

"You don't know! But you should know that if we don't let us go now! Then they will die now!"

It was a choice between the two of them, between a definite present and an unknowable future in which there was still this glimmer of hope.It seems that all they can choose is that glimmer of hope.

The vehicles that the laborers and soldiers took when they arrived are now used by people in the town to transport the elderly, children and their belongings. Many children still don’t understand what happened, and even want to run over and play around the pizza as they did in the past. , but was quickly reprimanded by adults.Pizza went back and forth several times to open a road in the dense forest. It was not a flat road, but at least the trees were cleared, and now it is more convenient for these fleeing people.Before leaving, they deliberately pulled all the hostages over for Zhou Lingke and Xia En to have a look.Obviously, in addition to all the officials, they recruited more than a dozen people from among the soldiers to make up an integer of fifty.

"Food..." After several months of serving as a soldier, Xia En naturally felt a sense of intimacy and belonging to these soldiers, but now, these elite soldiers look like soft-legged shrimps who are being slaughtered. Think about what happened to them with your heels—there are no women among the laborers and soldiers. Although there are cooks, but now that men are in urgent need, men are all devoted to physical labor. Of course, the matter of cooking is also considered Distributed to the women and the elderly in the town.It was just an errand to cook, but it was also an expression of extreme trust in the compatriots of their own country, and as a result, these compatriots stabbed them in the back, so to speak.The people in the town were busy and busy before leaving, but Zhou Lingke and Xia En had to think about the people left behind, "How to get rid of the medicine on them!"

"We'll give you the antidote before we leave!"

"No!" There was no need to discuss, and at the same time Xia En yelled, the pizza also moved.That means that they will detoxify nearly 4000 people at that time, and to be honest, the poison is easy to find, but whether the other party will prepare an antidote for 4000 people, Zhou Lingke and Xia En are skeptical at this time.

The people in the town immediately stopped their work and backed away in fear. The hostage was also pushed out. Obviously, the other party was not prepared to compromise, and the two sides were instantly deadlocked.

"Boss, let me try." Zhou Lingke pushed Xia En, but didn't.

"If you want to talk, talk behind me." Shane tilted his head and looked at him. "There are so many hunters here, I'm not sure if there are any marksmen among them."

"If you have something, kill me from the beginning... Well, well, I'll say it behind your back." As a good attacker, you have to be able to bend and stretch, Zhou Lingke began to bargain with the other party while muttering in his heart, "Do it! "

"What?" This exclamation not only came out of the other party's mouth, but also Xia En's reaction.

"Don't always be so kind, my master!" Zhou Lingke tried to make his tone sound arrogant and helpless, but then he questioned Xia En with a maniacal laugh, "Hahahahaha! You think What am I? I am a necromancer! Hot blood, pale bones, and a dying soul! How wonderful it all is! But you are threatening me with death?!"

There was a slight fluctuation in the people in the town. Many of them only knew that Zhou Lingke was a magician, a powerful summoning mage.But they have lived in this remote town all their lives, even if their ancestors have some secrets to make a living that cannot be told to outsiders, it does not mean that their vision and knowledge are really much higher.In fact, because the land here cannot be cultivated, Mangtan's country taxed Sopota Town very generously, almost to the point of being tax-free.However, the money obtained from selling wheat husks (as seen in the eyes of outsiders) has made almost every household in the town rich enough to pay a sum of exemption money to exempt themselves from military service when they become adults——Reckless The exemption money is not very expensive, because even the wealthy people are mostly willing to join the army, after all, that is the only way for them to obtain titles and change their status.Because the population of this town is too small, this contradictory and weird situation was not known to the upper echelon, also because of "some reason" when Zhou Lingke and Xia En suddenly took office, their former officials did not leave any reminders Few words of sex.In short, the people in this town are almost living in a pool of stagnant water. They are closed and accustomed to living according to the experience handed down from their ancestors. They rarely question that they lack the ability to adapt.

It was a bad thing, but now it's a good thing.The mayor of the magician who was originally positioned as a gentle and good man suddenly revealed his "true face"...

"Lie!!" More than one person roared like this, panic had already appeared on their faces.

But at this time, something gathered around Zhou Lingke and Xia En, the distance was too far, they didn't have Xia En's good vision, they could only see some small white fragments gathering more and more, and finally formed a large It's like a board made up of countless interlaced ribs, and even though it's dim under the daylight, it can be seen that these rotating bones are shining with blue fluorescence, and they keep turning, but suddenly!A howl that seemed to be a dying person pierced people's ears, and the rotating bone plate burst open! ! !

"Ahhhh-!!"

Most of the people who saw what happened screamed and ran away. At this moment, the legends of their parents about the terrifying necromancer emerged in their own minds, and fear covered their reason.Even those who wanted to stand still were gradually infected by the panic of others.

Zhou Lingke didn't expect such a good result. He just hoped that during the negotiation, the two of them would not always be in a passive position of giving and receiving what they wanted, and could bargain for a while.But even if such a change happened, all they could do was save all the hostages, or even if they didn't save them, they would have been thrown away.In addition, Martin and two other people from the town were captured. Martin tried to stop the fleeing companions, but was pushed to the ground and broke an arm.However, he was very cooperative.There is no need for Zhou Lingke and Xia En to ask questions first. They have already explained the way to relieve those people's confusion. They don't even need any antidote, just wash their faces with cold water.You don't even need cold water, just grab a handful of snow that is everywhere, rub it on these people's faces, and everything is OK!

"It's not like we can't grow food here, right?" After rescuing more than a dozen people, there is no need for Zhou Lingke, Xia En, and McCree to rub their faces with snow one by one. Ting's tent.The two travelers wanted to ask this question when they first arrived in Suoboda Town, but since they said that many professionals could not find out the reason before, the two non-professionals stopped talking.

"Yes, the older generation said that if you distribute grain seeds, you should steam those seeds. Ripe seeds won't germinate, they will just rot in the soil."

"Why did you do that?!" McCree was beaten up. Although it wasn't serious, what he heard now made him more difficult to control his emotions than the pain in his body.

"Because then no more people would move here, it's always been ours."

"you……"

"Master MacRae, go and rest first." Zhou Lingke and Xia En pulled MacRae who was almost going to grab Martin's collar. If the mage continued to get agitated, his blood vessels would probably burst, "You It's time to rest too, we'll take care of it here."

"I... ok... ok..." McCree took a deep breath and limped away.

"Why do you want to live like this? The land here should be very fertile, and there are prey in the forest. More people move here, the town will be more prosperous, there will be more different goods, and you will live better Good." Zhou Lingke looked at Martin and asked, he always felt that this old guard did not exist like that kind of terrorist.

"We were originally Knuwa people."

"Knuwa?"

"Yes, we are natives here. But the 'outsiders' suddenly came, killed our people, took our land, and drove us to the frontiers—at least 500 years ago."

Well, Zhou Lingke and Xia En have always meant that there are only differences between subhumans and human beings in this world, ignoring that even if they are all human, there are racial issues, land competition, and this is a problem left over from history.

"Even if we changed our clothes and habits, even if we forgot the language, our ancestors were never Knuwa people. They didn't want to farm the Mangtan people and provide them with food for raising young children and fighting."

"And what about the two demihuman children?"

"Remember what was sung in that song? What the couple met was not a bear, but a smuggler. They were not eaten, instead, they brought the smuggler back to the village. No farming, just hunting, once Our life is very difficult, and they brought us back a stable way of making money. However, they were still killed and thrown into the bear-infested area, because there are still busy officials here, probably because the elders at the time couldn't think of it. Find a way to explain to those officials why these two murderers have returned. Oh! By the way, you are asking about the children of the subhumans. At this time of year, it is the big slave traders who drive their goods through here At that time, judging from the situation of those two children, they should be high-end goods, so they were not chained or abused too much."

"So there really is a lost world over 1 years old down there?"

"I don't know, I've been down there, at least what I've seen, most of them are naturally formed underground caves, and there's nothing like a world more than 1 years ago. In fact, I should thank you all."

"Thanks?"

"Yes, I have long been tired of this aimless, rotten life. Although I don't think it would be a good choice for them to walk into that passage and leave with the slave traders. But, anyway, I have been relieved." Ma Ting shrugged, showing a nonchalant smile.

Zhou Lingke and Xia En left the tent. The conversation just now was not like an interrogation. Martin easily said everything they wanted to know, but at the moment the two of them stood under the warm sunshine, feeling a kind of Creepy.

"May I ask, where did the pie go?" Xia En tilted his head and looked at Zhou Lingke.

"Just like you think, at first I let it go to find the kitten, but now... it probably followed a certain car and headed for the secret underground passage." Zhou Lingke also looked at him.
