Chapter 794: Captive
Gordon sneered, "I'm talking about the same thing as those priests, but the temple is not a mess. I haven't seen them eliminate poverty and be more sinister than the nobles when collecting money."
"Godun, don't try to anger me. In the Dean's kingdom, no bullshit gods are allowed, and all those who preach are burned to death!"
"Hmph, how do you prove that what your dean said is true!"
"Nonsense, I am a civilian. The dean took me to the academy and did not charge any money. He trained me to become a magician. Now he commanded the legion and went to another world. It has only been a few years since he was in charge of the army. You said, there will be such a thing in your world? Do you know how much it costs to raise a child to become an epic wizard?"
Geudon was choked and wanted to refute it, but he could still reach epic level without spending money on learning magic. This kind of thing is impossible to happen in this world.
A magic apprentice is a slave to a magician. He has no money to work and is easy to die.
The apprentice is a coolie and also a test material. He is also responsible for warming the bed for the nominal teacher.
"Now, I can't promise you." Ge Dun did not surrender immediately in the end. He said to Lei Xi: "We travel around the world and are familiar with the geography on the mainland. If you can prove your strength, I will help you."
Lei Xi smiled and leaned back on the back of the chair, saying, "Isn't talking about ideals now, I'm talking about strength?"
"You don't have the ability, why should I help you?" Brother Dun had a stern face, feeling unspeakable.
"Okay, from today on, follow my camp. By the way, this is close to the southern country, and it is easier to fight."
"The Lynn Kingdom, you will be in the southeast for more than a thousand miles. There is a small plain over there, three hundred miles wide. When you pass by it, you will see the Iron Lu Castle, and there are about one thousand garrisons. There is an iron ore there, which is a relatively important source of economic resources for the Lynn Kingdom."
"Iron Lu Castle is right? One thousand miles, one thousand people, and it will be defeated in three days."
"really?"
"If I can't, I'll let you go, if I can..."
"I'll lead the way." Ge Dun gritted his teeth.
Lei Xi turned around and wanted to shout from behind the magic tent: "Senior sister, I have made a bet with people. I will run thousands of miles in three days and take down a castle in the human kingdom, a thousand defenders!"
"Okay, let's go tomorrow morning, please get the documents." Vivian replied.
Lin Neng and the other four were arranged in a tent, and there was no magic restriction. However, Lei Xi told them: "If you don't look at you, just be honest. The order I gave to the following is that you will kill them directly without reporting to me. Do you understand? Go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow, and take you to see the war."
Lei Xi left, and the four adventurers looked at the spacious tent, and the bone hammer opened their mouths first.
"Godun, do you think that magician's words are credible?"
Geudon said: "Anyway, it's only three days, we..."
"I'll go out and take a look." Efina dropped her longbow, shook away Gedon's hand, and bent down to get out of the tent. It was not dark outside, and the camp was on the mountainside. Looking into the distance, there were white clouds floating in the valley. Sixty soldiers on both sides stood guard, guarding the tent, which seemed not easy to run.
"You, can't, go around." A young soldier stretched out a musket and stopped Efina.
Efina didn't listen to his common language very smoothly, but her pronunciation was very standard, so it was a bit strange.
"Are you stuttering?"
"No, I am not a mage, I learned it, slow down." The soldier replied.
"Can I chat with you?" Efina didn't really want to escape, but she felt depressed when she came out to see her. There were military tents around her. Although she was a wilderness ranger, there were many strong men in this army that could not be beaten and could not escape.
"I said, it will be slow." The soldier's speed made people feel even more anxious.
"I think you are so powerful, why are you just a soldier?" Efina asked curiously. The level of this soldier is not much lower than her, and it may be almost the same?
I am already an elite adventurer. Is the other party's army so powerful?
"I, the precise shooter." The soldier shook his musket: "It's a non-commissioned officer, no, a soldier."
"I, Efina, the Wilderness Ranger." Efina pointed at her nose and said to the soldier.
"I, Marx, the precision shooter."
"Are you an elite army?"
Marx blushed and said, "How about I, find a magician for you?"
"Why?"
"The magician, what he said is better than me."
"You are already very powerful, and there is no error in the grammar." Efina said.
"Mr. Duke said, without knowledge, it's... that's right, he let us learn."
"Master Duke?"
"That's what the deputy general said, Dean, ours, lord."
"You will not be punished when you talk to me about this, right?"
"No, need, conceal."
"ah?"
"Duke, everyone knows it."
Marx blushed and thought that this female elf was so beautiful, but the fragrance on her body was a bit weird. He didn't know that the spices on the Wilderness Ranger could change the taste through the fighting spirit and integrate with the environment. Now it was an ordinary vanilla smell, not strong, but there was no such girl in the army, which made his heart beat hard.
"Then... how many people are you in your army?"
“Sixty thousand.”
Efina didn't know what to say, why did the soldiers in front of her dare to say such a secret? Wasn't she confused by her beauty? Is she going to kill him?
However, the soldiers around him were all looking straight and not far away. They should have heard it?
Efina couldn't understand why.
"Also, robots...that is, puppet warriors." Marx said.
Efina was surprised. She was caught all the way and saw many soldiers, but she had never seen a puppet.
"How much money can you make in a year?" Efina didn't want to ask military questions anymore. She was afraid that she would harm this big-headed soldier.
Marx said this sentence "Twelve gold coins." very smoothly.
Efina was even more surprised. Twelve gold coins? She worked hard for a year, which was only a few gold coins.
"You are an elite soldier, I think you are well equipped."
"Here, it's not counting in my hometown."
Efina wanted to say something, but a few soldiers came over with food boxes. One of them said to Efina: "I've brought you food. There are regulations for drinking water in the army. If you can't take a bath, just bear it. If you need convenience, there is a separate tent behind with a toilet."
Elena caught a talking person and quickly said, "I want to look around, is that okay?"
The soldier said, "No, everyone is busy now, no one is with you. When you get up tomorrow, you will be with the army. It is very convenient to see anything you want, so I will have a rest today."
He spoke fluently, and his tone was undeniable.
Then the soldier commanded his men to deliver the food box to the tent, and when Efina entered, he took the people away.
Efina stood close to the door, listened for a while, but didn't hear Marx's reprimand, so she felt relieved.
The food box was opened on the ground, and there were four portions in total, including rice and meat from unknown animals. It was stewed with shiny luster and a layer of oil. It was covered with vegetable leaves and a soup was prepared next to it.
None of the four adventurers moved their forks, and Gordon asked, "Efena, what did you find out when you go out?"
"Let's have a meal." Efina suddenly felt very powerless.
The soldier at the door can earn twelve gold coins a year. Can this dean still accept people?
Even if adventurers can drink and eat meat, and they are good at fighting, what's the use? Do you work as a bodyguard for others? You definitely can't do it with your personality, you're a robber? Brother Don won't let you fight the monster? You're not lucky enough to even get back the money for the potion. Exploring the ruins is even more dangerous than fighting the monster. The thieves in the team died when they explored the ruins of the trolls last time.
The news that Efina can earn twelve gold coins by becoming a soldier has driven Effina crazy.
The orc sat down and muttered, "I am so big, I will give me such a little food, just like you."
"There is no wine yet, don't you know that the dwarves like to drink?"
Ge Dun smiled bitterly. These brothers are really unscrupulous. They have been captured and they still think they are not good at eating.
The bone hammer was inserted into a piece of meat with a fork and sent it into his mouth. The fragrance wrapped around his tongue. He seemed to be scalded. He sucked it and swallowed it in one bite, and felt indescribable in his throat.
It was not just fragrant, but it felt like one time when a powerful monster was hunted, and everyone gathered around a bonfire and roasted the most essential part of the monster.
Yes, there are good things in the meat that can make people grow stronger and feel full, and they want to continue eating them desperately.
Ge Dun was hungry, so he had to sit down and skim the soup with a spoon. It felt delicious. Then he dug a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth.
"It's really good, Efina, it's like something a magician eats!" Ge Dun cried out in surprise. He was half a spellcaster and could feel the spiritual energy contained in the rice.
For Taoists, they may be disdainful. They have better spiritual rice, but ordinary professionals do not have such good fortune.
Ordinary spiritual rice can already improve their physique.
Yes, the army led by the duke brings its own dry food, which is made of spiritual rice. Unless you really have no food, you will have a policy of low supply. Eating this rice all year round will allow some professionals with poor talent to jump a few more levels.
This kind of spiritual rice can be planted in factories, and the cost is not too high. It is all supplied to the main force.
If the nobles want to buy it, they will have to spend a lot of money, and ordinary people can't afford it.
No matter how low the level is, it is not spiritual rice. The yield is extremely large, which is enough for the Duke to adopt more people. Factory planting does not need to consider natural disasters, and drought and flood are guaranteed to obtain income. The imperial grain price was originally low, and the Duke's subordinates also followed the flow of good deeds and did not intend to deduct money from it.
For the nobles of the empire, it would be better to go to another world to fight, and you could grab it anyway.
Efina was also curious, so she sat down, ate a bite of rice, a bite of meat, and a sip of soup. She was not a picky elf, and she thought it was very good.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, many low-level mages eat it, which is definitely not as good as this one.
After eating his own meal, the elf raised his head and asked, "Godun, are you really going to lead these people?"
"Look, Iron Fortress is all elite of the Lynn Kingdom, with four hundred cavalry. Earl Mary is a great knight."
