Ride and Cut

"Why did you appoint such a person as a special envoy?" Li Cha frowned slightly.

In his view, a description like "can't make mistakes, but make up for bad situations" is basically synonymous with mediocrity and incompetence. Coupled with the suffix of prince, it is difficult for him not to suspect that he is a high-level relationship household.

"When the conditions are favorable, it is actually not easy to steadily advance step by step to obtain the victory we deserve." Du Pont was obviously very clear about the thoughts of a frivolous young man like Richard, and said with a smile, "Prince Schmidt is definitely a mature official. Although he may not be considered outstanding, he is absolutely trustworthy. You can rest assured about this."

After talking about the business, several people chatted for a while.

First, Du Pont stood at the height of a magister and made a superficial interpretation of today's advanced magic theories. This fat old man is really good at talking, and such a boring thing becomes interesting in his mouth. Hearing it, the lord is vaguely envious and yearning.

Then Li Cha picked a few insensitive anecdotes from the ancient anecdotes he heard from the mouth of the iron giant and told them as stories. It also made Du Pont yell that he had never heard of it, and he grabbed him and kept asking where he heard it from. The lord then pushed it to the broken book he read when he was a child, saying that after reading it, he would use it as a butt wipe.

The fat old man was so distressed that his hands were trembling, and he couldn't say a word when he pointed at Li Cha.

Then Bedrick also joined in, describing how he used the "black warrior" who paid tribute from the vassal state to kill innocent children in the cricket battle.

So after he finished speaking, Grand Master Du Pont began to see off the guests.

"It's getting late, go back and rest quickly, don't stay up all night relying on your youth, you will regret it later." The fat old man nagged, and pushed the door open for them.

"Master, as a magister, what advice do you have for the descendants of element users?" Before leaving, Li Cha asked one last question.

"Well, let me think about it... There are three in total."

"All ears."

"Eat well, sleep well, and calm down."

"That's it?"

"That's it." Master Du Pont smiled, waved goodbye to them, and closed the door.

When Li Cha walked out of the house, he realized that it was completely dark.

There are not many stars in the sky in early spring, and it happens that there is no moon tonight. In addition, street lamps are a novelty that can only be seen in the noble district, and the surrounding areas are not equipped.

So it was really dark to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

Li Cha felt that it would be absurd to knock on the door of a magister's room just to borrow a lantern. So he and Bedrick could only grope forward in the darkness with one foot deep and one shallow foot.

"Master Du Pont and I met at the New Year's banquet in the palace." Bedrick's voice suddenly came from the side. Although his face could not be seen, the voice could also be heard full of boasting: "The master said that I am very good and have a clear heart, so we have a good friendship."

"I understand. He is a non-mainstream magister, and you are a non-mainstream crown prince. Your friendship is a kindred spirit between non-mainstream and non-mainstream." The lord patted his thigh and laughed.

"Non-mainstream is not mainstream, what's wrong with it." Bedrick obviously didn't understand why Richard was so successful.

Li Cha smiled and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten his business, "Wait, where is my team?"

"What convoy?"

"The convoy I brought from Alpine Fort should have arrived in Fulis a long time ago. Where should I find them?" The lord tugged at a strand of his hair.

"Hahahaha..." Bedrick's laughter echoed far away in the dark night.

Fortunately, apart from Gunther and Nehru who would only add to the chaos, there was also a reliable person like Hurt.

It was he who explained the identity of his party to the guards at the city gate of Fulishi. After successfully entering the city, he was the one who led everyone to successfully enter the inn. And when his lord was still nowhere to be seen, he patiently comforted the obviously anxious mood of the second general Heng Ha when he first arrived in the new environment.

Although the two giant monster shamans are much smarter than before, their minds are at most like children, and they easily lose their temper when they are anxious.

When the lord came to find them, they were having dinner lively in the yard. After all, Hurt didn't have a title, so the yard he got was not big. Dozens of tall and burly warriors sat in it, and it was so crowded that the wall was about to collapse.

A few halfling cooks were burning charcoal in the corner, so that they could grill skewers to eat. The strong smell of fireworks could be smelled across a block.

"My lord." Hulala, a large group of people stood up to welcome their lord.

"Sit down, give me five skewers of chicken wings, put more honey and no chili." Li Cha sniffled, and suddenly saw Nehru holding a pig's trotter and gnawing his mouth full of oil, so focused that he didn't even notice him coming.

It's not big, but it's a match for eating.

"Nehru, do you have any dreams?" Li Cha asked like a ghost.

"Stay alive." The dog-headed man replied without raising his head, and when he finished speaking, he realized that it was the Hun Lord of Gaoshanbao who had returned. His hand trembled, and his hoof fell into the plate immediately.

"Stay alive, and then." Seeing that the chicken wings would not be ready for a while, the lord grabbed a handful of shredded beef that the halfling had prepared for him, leaving behind a few pairs of mournful eyes.

"If you are alive, you can offer your loyalty to the wise lord, contribute to the construction of the mountain castle, and burn your blood and youth in the struggle." The kobold shaman didn't even think about it, and opened his mouth to reflexively shout slogans in one go.

"If you continue to talk nonsense, you will not be able to see the sun tomorrow." The lord rolled his eyes.

He was too lazy to talk to this guy now, and it was obvious that direct threats would be more effective.

"Uh..." Nehru scratched his cheek embarrassingly, "Well, actually... I... I think I can practice shamanism to a higher level in the future, and study the mysteries contained in elements like you human magicians."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a roar of laughter all around, as if someone was whistling and setting up seedlings.

"Why?" Li Cha was a little surprised, raised his hand to stop it, and the yard fell silent instantly.

He didn't expect to ask casually on a whim, but actually asked something.

"Why?" Nehru thought for a while and said, "This should be the ideal of every element user."

"I can't see it, the ideal is quite lofty." The lord first nodded in affirmation, and then asked the next question, "Have you ever thought about it, if a true god with supreme power promises to give you an insight into all the mysteries of the elements and all the truths in the world, but you will have to die immediately after seeing this glance."

"Will you choose to live or seek knowledge?"

Under the dim light, Li Cha's smile looked a little weird, which made Nehru shiver, and suddenly felt a chill go down to his bones.
