Chapter 1043: The Matter of Water War
divlign="ener">
Silence~~Continued silence~~Annoying silence~~Anxiety-making silence~~Silence that almost stoms~~Sighing silence~~ Only the long classical corridor and the corner leading to the Duke's Hall continued to emit a dull sound, as if a group of monsters were hiding in it, calculating the life and death of everyone
At last there was a sound of footsteps inside, which gave the anxious young man outside the door a little hope, and he cautiously bent his back to the side, and peeked at his eyes with some trepidation, hoping that the high butler would come out of it, and bring him the good news that he had been received by the duke. As a result, he looked forward to a shriveled old bald man inside
He was discussing things with the Duke's clerical officer and slowly walked out: "The Duke can cut his love like this, and my lord will definitely support it." However, I would like to suggest to me privately: the Duke had better meet with my lord before he leaves, and discuss the future matters. As he spoke, he saw a young man in leather armor at the door, serving a different kind of locals, and muttered curiously, "Why is there an old tree-faced man?"
The Old Tree Face is a contemptuous term for the great Oak Father, Sivannas, because the basic way to worship Sivannas is to carve an old man's face on the old tree to represent Sivannas. Usually only nobles in high positions and under the protection of the earth mother or other gods would be so bold.
The young man did not dare to be born because of the unhappiness in his heart, so he could only nod vigorously and bend down to show respect, because according to the rules of respect and inferiority of the elders here, the Venerable One was not allowed to speak casually if he did not ask him personally. The more the free-spirited boy thought about it, the more upset he became: 'We don't have such trouble there. Alas~~ For the sake of future rewards and manors, bear with it. Fortunately, the duke's clerk on the other side explained: "He is a newcomer who has come to join the duke, and it's okay." Then he sent off the shriveled old bald messenger.
Then came a fat ambassador, two burly generals with fierce eyes, three priests and holy warriors of the Mother Earth Church, four merchants in luxurious robes and neat hats, six old dragon bells and white-bearded gentry, and seven ~~~ bar, lala~~
And the young man had to salute them one by one, nervous and irritable in his heart, and finally waited for the people to leave* and tossed over, and he had already made half of his body sweat and a stomach full of bitter water: "Is it okay to pay it back like this?
But for the sake of the manor that will be rewarded and rich in the future, let it be forced for the time being.
He had just straightened his slightly sore waist and wanted to rest, when he suddenly felt a sudden burst of oppressive momentum in the corridor - in the depths of the classical and solemn corridor, a giant saint warrior of the Bright Armored Mountain Mausoleum, who was about two people tall and thicker and more powerful than a brown bear, strode majestically with the heavy and stern gaze that swept over
The young man suddenly didn't dare to retreat again and again, for fear of being targeted by others, and his heart beat a drum even more: "I heard that our mountain people have had a lot of secret conflicts with their mountain giants in the past, if he is targeted~~As long as a fist~~I will be finished~~'
Fortunately, people regard him as a roadside stone, not worth seeing, striding like the wind 'Hu~~' passed at once, the young man's hanging heart just fell, and suddenly heard a burst of brisk footsteps in the corridor, with a unique feminine moving 'click~~' sound and crisp and beautiful words: "Brother, slow down, your steps are too big." Then there was a beautiful giggle of the girl, with the bright red flying shirt and soft breath caressing the boy's face.
When his heartstrings moved, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and sweep it, only to see a slender beating back leaning happily on the tall and strong mountain giant holy warrior like a fierce bear, and suddenly had a sense of absurdity of a beautiful woman with a beast, and then shook his head vigorously, and warned himself: What are you thinking about, that's the daughter of a nobleman, don't think about it in your life~~ Unless~~ you have luck~~.
"Hehehe~~ It's really not very lucky. "Under the gilded chandelier, on the speckled marble floor, beside the lavish carved pillars, and beside the jade-like white table, the duke, dressed in a red robe and golden wisps, and with a prosperous and wealthy atmosphere, said to the 'Pastor Magellan' kindly: "The priest you want to see has already gone to the front, and I am afraid that it will take months or even half a year to return, and he will not return until the war is won." Originally, I said that the two of you could meet immediately, but I didn't expect the shape to be urgent and unexpected, alas~~ I broke my promise. ”
The other side glanced at him casually, knowing that he saw that he was eager to see the priest, so he had done such a trick. So he asked according to the duke's meaning: "Then, if I also go to the front, I wonder if I can arrange for me to meet him?" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the Duke had already shown an irrepressible smile - he was about to succeed.
"I can't hide it," he poured out little by little what he was still concealing: "You also heard it just now: the army of the Lazilaka country is gathering in the mountainous area on the western border, and it is estimated that they are going to take a boat down the mountain river and directly invade the hinterland of our country, including us. I have united several families, and I have the support of many Earth Mother Elders, and I am ready to concentrate my forces to defend the mountains and give the invaders a head-on blow, and now I need the support of a high-ranking person like Your Excellency, if you are willing, then you can directly follow us in two days and start a journey of victory. If you can get your help to destroy the enemy's army, then you can have any reward you want. ”
This has already made it clear that he must make meritorious service first and then talk about the matter of making strange things, so Dong Hezi didn't bother to continue to pretend to be cowardly with him, and replied directly and cheerfully: "I am not a marshal and a prince, and I have neither an army nor the wealth of a rich country to support you." How can we help?"
The duke on the opposite side replied solemnly: "The key to this battle is on the river, and whoever obtains the control of the river will win this battle." However, the enemy and our side are not good at water warfare, and the enemy is so strong that he cannot concentrate enough large ships for a while, although there are many ships on our side, but the people have lived in a peaceful place for a long time, and they are slightly resistant to killing, and their combat effectiveness is worrying. Even if there is a morale boost from the Earth Mother Church, it is difficult to change the habits that have accumulated for many years. Your Excellency, as the messenger of the water elemental god Eliqia, must be more water-savvy than those of us, so I would like to ask you, as a staff officer of the army, to guide us and others to fight against the stubborn enemy, so that the water of the quiet river will always flood this place and make all things flourish, which is also in line with the equal mercy of the goddess Eliqia" He smiled with a special smile: "It would be better if we could have strong support from your church and allies. ”
Originally, they thought that Dong Hezi and his party were a small alliance group led by the Water Element Church for special reasons. Maybe I'm here to do some special task. Dong Hezi replied quietly: "I'm just an ordinary pastor, and I just made some friends occasionally. Now the others are not moved. I'm afraid it won't be able to take on the big responsibility. I can only provide some help to the army. ”
"Oh?" said the duke on the other side, smiling and disbelieving, "Then there is work, please go and pack your bags as soon as possible, we will leave soon" As for whether he could see the priest who made the strange thing, he did not say a word. And another question that Dong Hezi was concerned about: "Then about the dispute between us and the Holy Warriors of the Earth Mother Church, can we solve it first?"
"Well~~" The Duke still didn't give an official reply: "Actually, the elders and priests of the Earth Mother Church have already gone to the front line, and it will be more convenient to coordinate if you also go to the front line." I am confident that, given the opportunity, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily. ”
When is the opportunity? Dong Hezi secretly scolded: "Shouldn't it be after I have done something for my strength?" There was no chance to bargain here, so Dong Hezi said: "So is there a map or a map or a summary of information now?" ”
The luxuriously dressed duke suddenly stood up happily and said, "Come on, come on, the map has already been there." Let's go and see, if only we could find a way to defeat the enemy sooner. Hehehehe~~" He was about to take Dong Hezi to another place to discuss carefully, but the housekeeper waiting on the side had to remind: "My lord, that child has been brought." Would you like to see him for two minutes?"
At this moment, the duke is concerned about the family's great cause and future ambitions, where is there such idle thoughts? Immediately waved his hand casually: "Forget it, let him go to the manor in the west to report directly, and ask him to plant things and take a look." I'll talk about the rest of the story when I get back."
The old butler wanted to frown: "Didn't you say that you would arrange a special test site for this person, so that he could plant undisturbed?" It seems that the duke was so preoccupied with the war that he forgot about it. Of course, he is a subordinate and is not responsible for this matter, and there is no need to offend the Duke in this matter, even if it is a slight offense. Immediately bowed down to make way, and then retreated, and was greeted by an anxious young man outside the door and asked eagerly: "My lord, duke, can he~~ summon me, don't skip words."
The old butler kindly replied to him, "The duke is in a hurry now, and he can't see you." The other party was suddenly anxious, and his forehead began to sweat slightly-this is his only hope now, if something happens~~ He said anxiously: "Then when does the noble duke have time?" I can be at any time~~"
The old butler had no choice but to comfort him according to his professional habits and said, "The duke really doesn't have time." There are many things to prepare for these days, and in two days we will go to the west to fight the invaders. It's going to take at least a few months. But rest assured, the Duke has arranged a manor for you, where you can go and grow herbs according to your own plans. If the Duke returns victorious, he will be very happy and appreciative of your achievements. I'll go and make arrangements with you, and you can go down and wait first. ”
The young man Nuo Nuo took a few moments, and retreated in a trance: I will not be able to see the Duke in a few months~~ I hope that during this time, I will be able to see the duke in a qiē shun lì and a qiē shun lì~~
