Chapter 15: The Mission......
After eating, Lu Xi and his two friends separated, and walked towards the castle humming a little song with satisfaction.
He walked through the main entrance and talked for a while with the two little maids who were cleaning, making them giggle before heading to the dining room. These maids are all little girls summoned by Orucello from a nearby village, they are definitely not pretty, but they are still very youthful and energetic, and Lu Xi often talks and laughs with them, but this does not mean that he has any dirty and corrupt ideas.
In the dining room, Aunt Marcis, the chubby cook, was looking at her with a smile. A set of cutlery and a plate of paste-like food were already on the table.
"Little master, it's time for dinner."
"This, can you not eat it......" Even if he was hungry, Lu Xi didn't want to eat these slimy cat foods, let alone just had a full meal of barbecue.
"That's not going to work," said Aunt Marcy, shaking her head, "Old Gam told me that you must finish it." ”
Lu Xi sighed, sat down obediently, frowned and began to put the paste into his mouth.
Halfway through eating, Lu Xi remembered that the people who supervised his eating of cat food in the past were all spirited old housekeepers: "By the way, why isn't Daddy Gamca here?" ”
"Because the master came to the guest just now, I have to accompany and wait." Gamcha's voice suddenly rang out.
"Wow," Lu Xi turned his head and happened to see the old butler's unattractive face and big dark eyes, "Let's say it when you appear." Don't you know that people are scared to death? ”
"That old Gam is really rude." The old butler bowed and apologized, but raised his head and said in a stern tone, "But young master, being able to be intimidated shows that your willpower is not enough, as a magician, this is too gaffe." ”
"Yes, yes, you're right for everything." Lu Xi quickly changed the topic, "Does the teacher need me to prepare for tonight's research?" ”
The old elf shook his head, and his attitude was very solemn: "The old man said that I don't need your help for tonight's research, but ......"
"This 'but' is probably more troublesome, and it makes my heart feel cold when I hear it." Lu Xi couldn't help but say.
The old butler didn't pay attention to him, and continued: "Just now, the nearby county garrison chief came to visit the old man, and said that a group of thieves composed of defeated soldiers of the Black Flag Winged People appeared near Colorful Rose Island. After a long period of reconnaissance by the county garrison, the thieves' hideout was finally discovered. ”
"Then hurry up and destroy it. Why did you come out of your way to visit your teacher? ”
"Well, because the place where these thieves are hiding is in the lord's territory."
"Huh?" Lu Xi couldn't help but feel his spirit, "On this island." ”
"Of course not." The old butler shook his head, "In addition to this Colorful Rose Island, there are several small islands nearby that are the property of the lord, but they are too small to live in, and we didn't pay attention to them, and we didn't expect that there would be thieves hiding on it." If the garrison wants to exterminate them, it will have to attack the lord's territory, so I have to ask for advice. ”
“…… Daddy, does the central government need the consent of the local lord to arrest criminals? ”
"This, the identity of the master is special after all."
"So, O Mighty ......"
Knowing that Lu Xi would definitely not have anything good to say below, the old butler hurriedly said: "So, the master said: 'A few little thieves still need to alarm the garrison, and my assistant can send them away.'" So he sent the garrison away. ”
Lu Xi was suddenly so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he cautiously asked, "Does the teacher have any other assistants?" ”
"No, of course it's just the little master."
"I've never had actual combat experience since I learned magic, and the teacher doesn't know?" …,
"The lord said: Even the crypt lord can't help you, let alone a few little thieves?"
"Even the old devil knows about this?" Lu Xi pressed his forehead depressedly, "Then does he know: if you let the magician go to the battlefield without any protection, this is basically looking for death?" ”
"He said so, so he decided to lend you a build golem."
"Really? Mithril, pure gold, Oz steel, star iron? Lu Xi's eyes lit up.
"Hehe, little master, you are so humorous, who would use such a precious sacred metal as a puppet."
"Who says no. If I have money, I'll make four puppets, Mithril for groceries, Adamantite for cooking, Oz Steel for guarding, and Stellar Iron for children......"
"That's a pity, it's clay now."
As the name suggests, the Construct Golem is a humanoid golem created by magicians who practice alchemy, which can be controlled by a guò spirit link and some simple instructions to cooperate with the magician. Although the person who controls it and the maker have a certain influence, the combat effectiveness of the golem is mainly determined by the material.
The puppet troops directly under the Federation are composed of copper, steel, magnets, etc., and the local garrisons also have a large number of stone statue troops, as for the clay......
"Teacher, do you know that clay golems are at most a little stronger than skeleton soldiers and goblins?"
"Yes, so, the lord will agree to let you go to the village and hire two helpers." The old butler nodded and stuffed a burden into Lu Xi's hand, "This is the map and your magic weapon, when you find a good helper, you can go to the stable and choose three horned eagles to be your mount." Well, so be it. ”
"That's it?"
"That's all!" Gamcha nodded categorically.
By the time Lu Xi reacted, he had been carried outside the castle by several servants with big shoulders and round waists. The door behind him closed tightly with a loud bang, as if sending a plague god.
Lu Xi's stunned stunned lasted for half a minute, and then he finally jumped up and raised two middle fingers at the castle behind him.
System Prompt: Trigger the C-level quest "Exterminate the Black Flag Bandits".

"I did want to trigger a mission to cheat me on XP, but I didn't want this kind of mission!" Lu Xi looked at the sky sadly and angrily, and sighed for a long time, he looked at the clay puppet beside him whose combat power was only 5th order of black iron, and his feelings suddenly fell.
"Keep up!" Lu Xi kicked the stupid puppet angrily, and then strode towards the village.
An hour later, a panting Lucy stood in the middle of the village and shouted, "Bull, Grant, get me out." Don't you want to get promoted and get rich? Now is your chance! ”
