Chapter 24 An irresistible mission reward
When talking about the artifact, Lacy paused obviously, and his eyes showed longing.
However, this look only stayed for a second or two. Lacy quickly recovered his emotions and continued to Xu Lai:
"I have verified the wolf head, it is indeed They are the ones I need. In this case, the task I entrusted you with before should be considered completed.
You have taken back the drawings of the wanderer camp. I will give you my castle heart later. Get it for you”
Lacy did not go immediately, but said that he would wait a moment. He must have something else to say to Xu.
Xu Lai took a sip of tea. Although the tea from Lazi's family was not particularly good, it was better because of the excellent quality of the tea leaves, so the taste of the tea was also exquisite.
Seeing that Xu Lai didn't speak, Lazi also sighed and said: "Brother Xu, you have verified that the wolves that attacked the village are natural monsters.
As far as I know, if the monster Without someone to lead them, they will not take the initiative to attack others.
And once they engage in battle, they will not be able to retreat unless their morale is reduced to zero. Their behavior pattern is extremely rigid, I guess Brother Xu. I’ve seen it too.”
Xu Lai nodded. If the wolves hadn't been very fixed in their behavior, how would he have had the chance to dig ditches and pits in front of these wolves?
“However, it is not right to say that they have belonged to a certain force or are led by someone. If a hostile force invades, it is impossible for the temple not to know about it, and it is impossible not to inform Count Aini who rules this grassland.< br>
But the earl, let alone the knights, has not even sent a single scout to see it, which shows that he has not received any notice.
If you want to not only control this group of wild monsters, but also have to do it. To allow these wild monsters to attack our village, only the beast control skills from the orcs and the beast taming skills from the swamp can do it.
Animal taming skills require long-term cultivation, and the swamp is the closest to us. The areas are hundreds of kilometers apart.
Unless there are undiscovered teleporters or dungeons, it is impossible for the group of animal trainers in the swamp to come to the grassland.
Then, there is only one goal that drives this group of wild wolves. "
"Orcs? "Xu Lai blurted out.
Lazi nodded and said: "Yes, anyway, I only know that orcs and animal trainers have ways to control natural creatures. Those wild monsters are also natural creatures, and they can naturally be domesticated. and driven.
A civil war breaks out in the human race, and it seems that the orcs next door can't help but want a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, they and the animal trainers are mortal enemies, and they have beaten each other's brains out a long time ago, I guess. Unable to invade Middle-earth.
They also dare not break out a war with the human race, otherwise under attack from both sides, the orc empire will definitely be destroyed first.
Nowadays, they still maintain a neutral relationship with our human race, so the group of orcs want to drive the beasts of the natural alignment to attack us. The purpose is probably to drive us away so that they can occupy the grassland at the foot of the mountain. "
Xu Lai opened his mouth and said, "Is this possible? Such a simple and easy-to-guess conspiracy? And even if they drive wild beasts to drive you away, why should they occupy human land?
La Qi Village Chief You just said that this grassland should be ruled by Count Aini. After knowing that his territory was occupied by orcs, would he just give up? "
Lacy smiled bitterly and said: "It would be great if the orcs were as far-sighted as you think. You don't know, these things are strong and powerful, but their brains are not very good.
If you can think of using natural creatures to drive us away, you must be a wise man among the orcs.
Besides, as long as they don’t directly conflict with us, the temple has no reason to intervene.
As for Count Aini, all his energy now is probably focused on how to defend his castle, and he has no spare energy to fight the orcs. Since the outbreak of the civil war, it is already May this year, and Count Aini's tax collection team still has not appeared on the grassland, indicating that he is completely unreliable at this time.
So unless we get actual evidence of the orc invasion, submit it to the temple through Priest Rasha, and ask the temple to send a paladin or archbishop to drive it away. ”
Having said this, Lacy looked deeply at Xu Lai again.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly, and sure enough he heard Lazi say: "The orcs may just want to slowly encroach on the grassland, so they only attack us under the mountains.
And they can today Driving the wolves, and tomorrow we can also drive the tigers and leopards, blindly passive defense is really not the answer.
I just hate that every time the wolves attack, it is at night, and they are so agile that we can only vaguely see them. Knowing the appearance, there is really no way to tell whether it is a monster.
Otherwise, during the early spring festival in March, reinforcements may be invited from other towns and villages.”
Lacy's meaning was already obvious. Xu Lai bit his lips and said, "Village Chief Lacy, to be honest, I haven't been in this world for too long.
It's already very difficult to deal with those wolves. It's hard work, but I managed to win by chance because of their stupidity. It's really too difficult for me to deal with the orcs."
Laqi gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I won't let you, Brother Xu, alone. Go into battle, you just need to help us find the orcs, and I will mobilize the village leaders to work with you."
Seeing that Xu Lai was still frowning, he looked reluctant to accept the commission. , Lacy released his big move again and said:
“Brother Xu, I know you have a camp-level castle heart, so you should have built the camp at the foot of the mountain.
But even if you add my castle heart, you only have two. To synthesize a village-level castle heart, you need one more. "
Xu Lai's eyes lit up and asked: "Village Chief Lachi, do you still have one here? "
Lacy smiled bitterly and said: "How is that possible? What's the use of collecting so many castle hearts? I want to collect them at the village level, and try to upgrade Gram to a town.
But even though I don’t have it, as long as we can submit actual evidence of the orc invasion, the temple will definitely reward us.
When the time comes, I am confident that Pastor Rasha will bring back a heart of the castle for you, brother. ”
To be honest, Xu Lai was already excited at this point. The camp-level castle was so rubbish that almost nothing useful could be built.
Looking at Gram Village, there are almost everything you need, including wooden buildings, farmland, vegetable fields, wells, fences and even watchtowers.
With such a village as a base, Xu Lai felt that he would be much safer.
And since the orcs are still afraid of the power of the human temple, they probably won't send many people over. Besides, even if they can't defeat it, they can just run away. If they can defeat it, they will get a mission reward in vain.
At this point, Xu Lai was actually tempted. However, seeing that Xu Lai was still reluctant to speak, Lazi continued to add:
"Although Count Aini's tax collection team has not come, he will definitely send someone. Moreover, with the outbreak of the civil war, taxes have become heavier year by year in the past few years.
Our village really does not have much surplus money, but We also have a lot of horses in our village. I see that Brother Xu, you seem to be riding just an ordinary horse!”
