Chapter 328 The Killer of the Dwarves (a super chapter of nearly 20000 words)
Sometimes Long Qingquan wondered if the younger brother really came from another world.

Because his conversation, his way of thinking, and his eating habits are completely different from people in this world.

Take this self-service barbecue as an example, people in their world can also barbecue, but it will never be as varied and exquisite as the self-service barbecue advocated by Zhao Xun.

Ahem, the word sense of ritual was also taught by Zhao Xun to Long Qingquan.

The younger brother feels that there should be a sense of ritual everywhere in life, so that we can live chicly and freely.

Yes, only refined people will enjoy a refined life.

Of course Long Qingquan wants to be a refined person, because it means he is a person who knows how to enjoy life.

Long Qingquan is also a person who is good at thinking.While he was feasting, he was also observing the state of the academy disciples.

He found that although they are both academy disciples, different people enjoy the feast in completely different states.

Some people are immersed in it, some people are restrained, some people are a little reserved, and some people are unrestrained.

It is true that the same rice feeds all kinds of people.

"Little brother, do you have any unique skills that you haven't brought out at the bottom of the box, let me learn from them?"

The third senior brother Long Qingquan found that Zhao Xun was like an inexhaustible treasure house, and he could always dig out some surprises.

"Uh, third senior brother, do you really think I'm a koala or a kangaroo, there is a bag that can conjure things at any time?"

"Little brother, what are these koalas and kangaroos?"

The third senior brother Long Qingquan was completely dumbfounded.He couldn't understand what the younger brother said at all.

"Tut tsk tsk, it's nothing, I just said so."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that it was really too difficult for him, every word he said had to be carefully considered, because he had already gotten used to the original way of thinking, and some words would be blurted out without thinking.

But these words are obviously not so appropriate in this world, and may even cause confusion.

Zhao Xun tried his best to control it, but sometimes these words would pop out for no reason.

"What I mean is that these dishes of mine are also made after careful thinking and planning, and they can't be conjured up by themselves with a pat on the head."

For a moment, Zhao Xun seemed a little dumbfounded.

What is the third senior brother thinking in his head, why do he always have some weird ideas.

"Well, that's actually what I asked. You're already producing new dishes very quickly. Come, have a baked potato."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan handed over a bunch of baked potatoes.

Zhao Xun was also polite, took the bunch of baked potatoes and chewed them with gusto.

"Third senior brother, please help me get that grilled corn and pancake again."

Roasted corn and baked naan are Zhao Xun's favorites. The tastes of the two are completely different, but they both suit Zhao Xun's heart. Zhao Xun can feel a refreshing pleasure in them.

"Okay, I'll get it for you now."

I have to say that when there are more people, the pressure on grilling and picking up food suddenly increases a lot.Everyone is also a member of the teacher's school, and some things are not easy to do too much, so we have to bite the bullet and take a few strings.

Long Qingquan felt that his actions when picking up the food were already elegant enough, the other brothers and sisters should not have any objections, right?
"Third senior brother, this barbecue has strengthened one of my thoughts."

Zhao Xun took the roasted naan and took a hard bite.

At the entrance of the grilled naan sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, a strong peppery aroma instantly filled the mouth.

Well, this is really full of happiness.

"Little brother, what do you think?"

Compared to Zhao Xun, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan obviously prefers to eat meat.

He is the type who doesn't like meat, and he can't get excited about a meal without meat.

Looking at the dazzling array of meat that can be chosen at will, the third senior brother Long Qingquan's eyes are almost blurred.

"I think beer must be made. Beer and barbecue are a perfect match. Barbecue is the best cooking method in the world. If it is paired with beer, it always feels like something is missing."

"Uh"

Although the third senior brother didn't quite understand it, he seemed to think it made sense.

"Little brother, what exactly is this beer, why do you always hear it talking about it?"

"Well, third brother, you can understand it as a kind of alcohol. Rice wine, white wine, rice wine, fruit wine, plus a beer, it is complete."

Zhao Xun has affection for the eating habits of food stalls.

The core of food stalls is fried chicken beer, barbecue, and crayfish.

Now fried chicken and barbecue have been fiddled with by Zhao Xun, followed by beer and crayfish.

It is not difficult to make beer, but malt fermentation is.But crayfish.
Zhao Xun felt a little dumbfounded for a moment.

It seems that it is really not easy for crayfish to do well.

Whether it's spicy, garlic, or those weird flavors, you still need to try it.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xun has to find the crayfish first.

Where do pure natural crayfish generally live?

In the paddy fields of Jiangnan Road?Or in a ditch deep in the mountains?
Zhao Xun knows that this is a great challenge, and it is not easy to find a suitable crayfish.

And this is only the first step. After finding suitable crayfish, the next step is to select and breed them. Only when enough suitable crayfish are selected can delicious dishes be made.

The process of selection and breeding is a long and incomparably long process, and it is by no means a one-day effort.

Zhao Xun has enough patience, but the question is, do all the brothers and sisters have this patience?
Zhao Xun didn't think so.

so hard.
And crayfish is the ultimate taste in the world, as long as the brothers and sisters have tasted it once, the taste on the tip of the tongue will never be easily forgotten.

Once Zhao Xun raised the standard of delicacy to such a high level, it would not be easy to lower it in the future.

It seems that we still need to be cautious.

"Well, make the beer first, and then slowly explore the others."

"Okay, it would be great if the mountain leader recovered from his injury now, it's a pity that the mountain leader can't taste such delicious food."

The third senior brother Long Qingquan started to sneeze as soon as he finished speaking, and he was stunned for a moment.

Um?What's the situation, why does it feel like someone is staring at him, and drawing circles behind his back?

Zhao Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this.

The third senior brother didn't know what was going on, but Zhao Xun knew it clearly.

It must be that the mountain chief is skinny again, and he is beating the third senior brother Long Qingquan.

Regardless of Shan Chang's high morals and prestige, he is also very old.But sometimes the head of the mountain is like an old urchin, making people dumbfounded.

Forget it, Zhao Xun just pretended not to know.

"Disciples see the head of the mountain."

Zhao Xun knew that Shan Chang must have known about self-service barbecue.

There was such a commotion in the academy, it was almost impossible to hide it from the head of the mountain.

Zhao Xun thought to himself that at this time, he must flatter the head of the mountain and do what he likes.

The head of the mountain is really an old boy, sometimes Zhao Xun really has nothing to do with him.

"Well, Xiao 72, I heard that you have made a new dish called self-service barbecue?"

Sure enough, he came, he really came.

Zhao Xun thought to himself that the head of the mountain is really a ruthless person, and he knows what happened in the academy like the back of his hand.

Nothing can escape the old man's piercing eyes.

"Responding to my mentor, my apprentice has indeed developed a new self-service barbecue. But strictly speaking, it is not a single dish, but many dishes."

"Oh?"

Hearing the words, the head of the mountain immediately asked with great interest: "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, the essence of this dish is self-service. The so-called self-service means that diners have great autonomy, and they don't have to cook according to the chef's recipe. If you want salty food, you can add more salt when grilling. If you want heavy food If you want to eat raw, you can put more sauce on the ingredients. If you want to eat more cooked, you can roast it for a while, and if you want to eat raw, you can roast it for a while. In short, the taste of roasting by different methods is completely different. "

"Uh, I'm almost drooling as a teacher."

The head of the mountain really started to drool.

The main reason is that Zhao Xun's description is too tempting, even the most powerful person in the world can't stand it.

There is only food and love in this world that cannot be let down.

However, Zhao Xun released such a way of eating that almost included all the delicious food, and the mountain chief was really about to fall completely.

"Quick, bake some for Master Wei to eat."

Zhao Xun wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this, he thought that the head of the mountain was too impatient.

The essence of self-service barbecue is the process of grilling.

It's the satisfaction of being in control of the grilling process yourself.

If it is a fake hand, the pleasure will disappear or even be halved.

"In this way, Tuer will set up the grill for you first, and then give you a demonstration. Then you can grill it yourself. You can make whatever flavor you want, it depends entirely on your preference."

The head of the mountain stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "Good."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that it is not too late, he must quickly conquer the stomach of the mountain chief.

Fortunately, he came prepared, with the grill and ingredients ready.

If it is charcoal baking, the smoke and dust will be a bit heavy, will the brothers and sisters notice it?

After all, the head of the mountain is nominally still practicing in seclusion, so theoretically there shouldn't be such a strong atmosphere of fireworks.

None of the senior brothers and sisters is a fuel-efficient lamp. It would not be a good thing if they noticed the clues.

Zhao Xun thought about it secretly, and felt that he should speak to the head of the mountain.

In this way, even if something goes wrong, it is not Zhao Xun's responsibility.

"Well, Shan Zhang, this barbecue is a bit heavy, and there will be a lot of smoke and dust. What if the senior brothers and sisters find the direction and come over? After all, at this time, theoretically, you should still be practicing in seclusion and recuperating. Let's take a break."

Zhao Xun thought in his heart that he had been hiding it for the head of the mountain for so long, if it was exposed because of a self-service barbecue, it would be too ridiculous.

Sure enough, the head of the mountain nodded thoughtfully and said: "Little 72, your worries are not unreasonable. But as a teacher, you can create a protective cover to suppress the smoke and dust below the bamboo building. In this way, whether it is the boss or the boss Second, the third child or other disciples will not be aware of it."

"Tsk tsk tsk mountain is so wise, I admire it."

Zhao Xun hurriedly offered a flattery, which was very useful to the head of the mountain.

"Since that's the case, don't delay, let's set up the grill right away."

Zhao Xun is a person with strong execution ability, and it took him a short time to set up the grill.Paired with a good charcoal fire, after a little bit of fire folding, the raging fire will start to burn in an instant.

Zhao Xun put the pre-prepared skewers on the grill, and then smeared them with baking oil, turning them over and over again.

Although grilling looks simple, it is actually a test of the skill of the griller.

If the barbecue is a little careless, there may be a situation where one side is burnt and burnt.

Since Zhao Xun wanted to make a sample in front of the head of the mountain, he had to be careful not to stumble.

The head of the mountain watched carefully from the side.

He really paid close attention to Zhao Xun's barbecue technique.

Because according to Zhao Xun's statement, the mountain chief will have to bake it himself in a while.

If he didn't take it seriously, he would lose all his old face if he made a fool of himself in front of his little apprentice.

"Master, the grilling time of different ingredients is completely different. Some ingredients need to be grilled for a longer time, and some ingredients need to be grilled for a shorter time. The specifics depend on the ingredients themselves, of course, There is no absolute standard. It depends on your taste."

Zhao Xun spoke very seriously, basically taking all the details into consideration.

The head of the mountain also listened very seriously, and asked from time to time: "Then this green pepper needs to be roasted a little longer from time to time?"

"Well, it can be baked longer. But this leek doesn't need to be baked for so long. If the leek is baked for too long, it will burn easily"

"Uh"

Shan Chang felt that this touched his blind spot of knowledge.

It's just too complicated.

"Well, as a teacher, I wanted to try to bake it myself, but since the grilling process is too complicated, I don't want to try it as a teacher. Little 72, you will suffer a lot and help the teacher to do it for you. All right."

The voice of the head of the mountain was not unexpected by Zhao Xun.

Good guy, he should have thought that the head of the mountain would say that.

Of course, Zhao Xun didn't feel any disappointment.Because in his opinion, this is what he should have done.

As the mountain chief's apprentice, what's wrong with helping the mountain chief barbecue?
Although it is possible to be smoky and make a face full of smoke, Zhao Xun thinks it is worth it.

Shan Zhang is the most powerful person in the world, and he casually mentions Zhao Xun a few words when he is happy, and teaches Zhao Xun some peerless skills. It is not difficult for Zhao Xun to break through to the third rank, or even the higher second rank or first rank.

Of course, right now Zhao Xun doesn't have any utilitarian intentions.He simply wanted to serve the head of the mountain.

The master-student relationship was the same as the father-son relationship in ancient times. One day is a teacher and a lifelong father.

Since Zhao Xun chose to worship in the academy and worship under the head of the mountain, he was already prepared to honor the head of the mountain.

Today this is where and where.The exciting thing is yet to come.

...

...

When he was full of wine and food, the third brother Long Qingquan burped contentedly, lay on the armchair and looked at the stars in the night sky.

This star is so bright.

This is why Zhongnan Mountain is so good that you can basically see the stars in the night sky.

But it is not the case in Chang'an City.

Chang'an City was brightly lit, even in the long night, the entire night sky was like daytime.

In such a strong light environment, it is naturally impossible to see the stars clearly.

This was also the reason why Long Qingquan was unwilling to stay in Chang'an City.

In Zhongnan Mountain, he can get closer to nature and life, and realize the unity of man and nature.

And this is essential for a practitioner who wants to make a breakthrough and go further.

"The arrival of my junior brother has indeed changed a lot."

Long Qingquan rubbed his full stomach, burped, and said with emotion.

For him, being able to get acquainted with the younger brother is a very pleasant thing.

The younger brother is open-minded and optimistic, and seems to have a logic that is completely different from this era. When encountering problems and difficulties, he can always find the optimal solution.

This has more than once saved the academy disciples including Long Qingquan from danger.

"I really hope that I can stay like this for the rest of my life. It's a pity that my junior brother is going to get married after all. Li Taiping, the owner of Yonghe County, is cheerful and generous. She is also the daughter of the royal family. She and my junior brother are both talented and beautiful. It's a pity that her identity is at the same time." It is also a kind of confinement and restriction. The relationship between the younger brother and the emperor will eventually cause King Qi to break with him, right? King Qi will definitely make trouble in order to compete for the crown prince. As for his daughter, maybe it is not worth mentioning in his heart. .”

Long Qingquan muttered to himself.

In his view, the superiors are a group of cold-blooded animals.

They can do all kinds of heinous things in order to fight for power.

In their eyes, sacrificing their children is nothing more than a normal operation.

Anyway, children can be regenerated if they are gone, but if the throne is gone, there will be no more.

"I hope my junior brother can handle this matter well. After all, King Qi is also the father of County Lord Yonghe. If father and daughter turn against each other, Zhao Xun will be very difficult to do."

"Senior brother, I'm here to bring you supper!"

The third senior brother Long Qingquan was taken aback, thinking that he really meant Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

His body bounced off the recliner instantly like a spring, and he took a few steps forward to meet Zhao Xun.

"Oh, junior brother, you are being too polite, right? To be honest, I am still full. After eating so much barbecue, this is a problem with digestion."

Zhao Xun ordered the cooked supper in front of the third senior brother, and said with a grin: "This is wonton noodles. It tastes great. I just researched it, and I will serve it to the third senior brother first."

"Oh? Is it a new dish?"

The third brother Long Qingquan heard that this is a new dish, and he became interested in it in an instant.

Zhao Xun's cooking skills are now top-notch, and the new dishes he tries are basically not overturned.

So Zhao Xun was able to think of Long Qingquan when trying new dishes this time, which made Long Qingquan feel very gratified.

Little junior brother, little junior brother, reliable and meticulous!
It's not in vain that he often hurts his junior brother on weekdays.

People's hearts are fleshy, isn't the little junior brother starting to reciprocate now?
"Well, then I'll give it a try. Just try one first."

Although Long Qingquan really wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, but his stomach is really full now.

It is impossible to eat all of such a large bowl of noodles.

Just taste it first.

Long Qingquan picked up a noodle with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this smell...is very special."

"Ok?"

Zhao Xun couldn't help but shine brightly in his eyes: "What's so special?"

"Smooth but not greasy, fresh but not overpowering. The taste is bold, but not crossing the line, which can be described as just right."

I have to say that the third brother Long Qingquan's comment is very accurate and pertinent.

Zhao Xun was very satisfied.

"Is there any room for improvement?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

The third senior brother Long Qingquan held his chin and said in a deep voice: "If I have to pick out one shortcoming, I'm afraid it's a bit too plain. If you add more meat, the taste should be much better."

Ok?
The third senior brother, Long Qingquan, really has no flesh and no joy.

"Well, I can change that. But it's hard to say, I'm afraid some people prefer to be vegetarian, so how about it, after the third senior brother is here, I will go to order."

Zhao Xun patted his chest as a guarantee for Long Qingquan, promising that he would make a private order for the third senior brother Long Qingquan in the future.

This made Long Qingquan very happy.

"Okay, okay, oh, little brother, you said that it would be great to have such a leisurely life all the time. Why do you want to fight when you are so good?"

Long Qingquan is definitely a staunch opponent of the war, but he will never give up in a war.

"The years are quiet and good, because someone is moving forward with heavy burdens."

Zhao Xun sighed.

"In the past, there were towering trees that could provide us with shade. Now we need to stand up for ourselves."

Zhao Xun clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.

...

...

The Zichen Hall of Daming Palace.

Emperor Xianlong sat cross-legged on a futon.

Sitting opposite him is Master Huiyan.

"Master, these scandals in my family make you laugh."

"How does His Majesty plan to deal with the prince?"

"Naturally, it is dealt with according to the law of the country. The Tian family has no family."

Emperor Xianlong said almost coldly.

His statement was naturally what Master Huiyan wanted to hear.

Master Huiyan knew that Emperor Xianlong was a cold-blooded animal, but he did not expect that he could treat his own son so cruelly.

The prince is a potential heir that Emperor Xianlong has worked hard to cultivate over the years, but Emperor Xianlong showed no mercy.

To kill the prince is like killing an ant.

But maybe this is the king.

Those who achieve great things are not careful about the little things.

Emperor Xianlong was able to do this, which is worthy of his status as the emperor.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Zheng Jie and Feng Hao would betray me, these two slaves, I'm going to skin them and cramp them, and cut them into pieces."

"The cultivation of these two people is not low. It is not easy to kill them. Even if they are poor monks."

Master Huiyan's words made Emperor Xianlong frown.

"Master Huiyan is joking, right? Your realm must be higher than the two. Even if the two join forces, they are not your opponent."

Although Zheng Jie is a super master, he belongs to the middle and lower among the super masters.

Not to mention Feng Hao, even if he reaches the pinnacle of a first-rank Martial God, he is still a first-rank, which is completely different from a super-rank.

"The poor monk only said that there were some difficulties but did not say that they could not be killed."

Master Huiyan emphasized: "The poor monk needs a suitable timing. Only in the rhythm of the poor monk can the poor monk display the most powerful combat power. If not, the poor monk's combat power will be greatly restricted. "

"What conditions does Master Huiyan need? I will try my best to create it for you."

In the process of communicating with the dwarves, Zhao Xun found that firearms were not as difficult to use as imagined.

Even the enchanted muskets and cannons used by the dwarves can be used well-trained and orderly as long as one person trains for a few months.

On the contrary, the archers are even more precious in comparison.

It takes at least three years for an archer to skillfully complete shooting and hit the enemy.

It is almost impossible to complete a crash course in a few months.

So Zhao Xun thought that instead of wasting time trying to train archers, it would be better to spend more time on firearms.

Not to mention artillery, if people master the use of firecrackers, they will undoubtedly exert great power to a great extent.

This made Zhao Xun very interested.

So Zhao Xun clearly expressed this wish to Jielin, the leader of the dwarves.

Unexpectedly, Jaylin didn't refuse, and didn't even show the slightest hint of impatience or even boredom.

Jielin's attitude greatly exceeded Zhao Xun's expectations.

In Zhao Xun's view, Jielin was showing his favor.

After all, the dwarves have just arrived, and the academy is their place to stay.

If they express a huge resistance right from the start, it will undoubtedly make the whole academy loathe them.

If the academy unanimously voted to expel them from Mount Zhongnan, the entire dwarf tribe would have to start wandering in the Great Zhou Empire.

Today's Great Zhou Empire is in danger.Many enemies came from all directions.

They came through the dark portal to this brand new country, eager to conquer.

Maybe the dwarves in the strong forts and castles are extremely powerful, but after leaving these strong bunkers, the short dwarves will appear very fragile.

"I think, I'm afraid no one would be willing to have a deadlock with the landlord when their tribe's foothold is not stable and the crisis is threatening. This should be the most fundamental reason why the dwarves frequently show favor to us and throw olive branches."

Zhao Xun's analysis of dwarves is very good.

The third senior brother Long Qingquan also felt that it made sense.

"Well, it seems to make a lot of sense, but I still don't think the dwarves will give us their best firearms."

Long Qingquan spread his hands, shook his head helplessly and said: "This thing can be regarded as a big killer for them. As long as they have this thing in their hands, they will have the strength to wrestle with any powerful tribe. But if they lose These things mean that they will become weak. Any smart person will not share his trump card with others at this time. I think this Jaylin is very scheming, he is just using our knowledge of firearms He is interested in seducing us. But he can grasp this speed very well, and will not let us succeed in obtaining firearms easily."

Older gingers are more spicy.

The third senior brother Long Qingquan saw the true purpose of the dwarf patriarch Jielin at a glance.

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and felt that the possibility judged by the third senior brother was indeed very high.

If Jielin really wants to do this, he does have enough capital.

After all, now it means that the academy is interested in firearms, and they want to stay in Zhongnanshan.

As long as they can keep the interest of the academy disciples, the academy disciples won't expel them until the war starts.

In this way their purpose is achieved.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhao Xun's judgment is impossible.

If people think of people as true, kind and beautiful, the dwarf patriarch Jelin is probably just showing his favor.

In this case, there is still a good chance that the academy will get the firearm.

"What the third senior brother said is very reasonable, but I still think we should try it. If we don't try anything and just let it go, I will definitely not be reconciled."

The third senior brother really knows the little junior brother Zhao Xun very well. Seeing him say this, he spread his hands and said, "Forget it, since you think so, then I won't force you. But there is one ugly thing I have to say up front. Don't push Jielin into a hurry, it's almost enough, and you can accept it when you see it."

"Well, I know the third senior brother, so you can rest assured."

Zhao Xun naturally knew it in his heart.

"Firearms? The academy wants our firearms?"

Although the patriarch of the dwarves, Jielin, knew clearly that the academy was interested in their firearms, but when Zhao Xun clearly expressed this desire, Jielin was still surprised.

This young man must have been a little too straightforward.

As a dwarf, they are warned by their parents from the moment they are born to use firearms for protection.

Their innate conditions are far inferior to those of other tribes, needless to say, they are not compared with orcs, trolls, werewolves and other muscular sticks covered in tendons.Compared with their close relatives, dwarves are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of innate physique.

But the situation of dwarves is very different from that of gnomes.

A dwarf is an individual aberration that fails to reach the expected size of the individual due to malnutrition or developmental delay.

As for the dwarves, their height is written in their blood and engraved in their bones.

Their grandparents and fathers all have this figure.

The highest group of them can grow so tall.

So dwarves don't have any inferiority complex.

They are well aware that their height is inherently determined.

But it will undoubtedly lead them to seek other breakthroughs.

Because if they cannot use other tools to make up for this disadvantage, they will be at a disadvantage when confronting the enemy head-on.

It's okay if the enemy invades on a small scale, but it's a big problem if the enemy invades on a large scale.

Any vicious foe knows that it's easiest to smother an enemy when they're most vulnerable.

If the dwarves can't protect them in a soft shell and choose to fight hard, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

This is of course not a wise move.

That's why dwarves build tall and strong castles.

Because the castle can make up for their height disadvantage.

That's why dwarves use firearms, because firearms can make up for their inferior muscles.

Everything revolves around their disadvantages.

Because they don't want to be at a disadvantage all the time, they have to make up for it in other ways.

And the people in the academy want to take all their advantages?

At this moment, the dwarf leader Jelin felt the crisis for the first time.

"If it's an alliance, we use firearms the same way you use firearms."

Jaylin said very seriously.

"In my opinion, trust is the key thing. If we have trust between us, many things can be solved easily. If we lose trust between us, many times it will fall apart in an instant."

Seeing that Jielin's tone suddenly rose, Zhao Xun knew that he was a little scared.

Zhao Xun pressed his hands down at this moment, trying to keep Jielin calm.

"Don't panic, I just made a proposal, and I didn't ask you to do it according to my proposal. I think that since everyone wants to cooperate, you can try each other's stunts to the maximum. If you think this proposal is offensive As if we hadn’t said anything about it.”

Jie Lin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You must think we are petty, and your eyes clearly express this thought. But I still want to say that it is not because of our powerful talents that we have come to this day, but because Because we are very cautious. Being cautious allows us to survive one crisis after another. Being cautious allows us to keep our lives when we are on the verge of death again and again. Being cautious sometimes does seem very timid, but we don’t care. "

What Jielin said made Zhao Xun feel extremely embarrassed.

Alas, what the third senior brother said was indeed correct, he still shouldn't put too much pressure on these dwarves.

Although the other party knew that they were very interested in firearms, they didn't openly propose to donate firearms. They just tested the bottom line of the academy in this constant process of making decisions.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xun didn't plan to act anymore, and directly showed his hole card.

All of a sudden, the poor dwarf patriarch Jelin was stunned, so he could only show his cards.

It is indeed an embarrassing thing for the two sides to show their cards to each other.

But fortunately, through this move, they realized each other's bottom line.

As long as at least there will be no similar embarrassing things in the future.

"Although we cannot give you firearms, we can let you watch us use them."

Maybe because he felt that his attitude just now was too tough, Jielin swallowed a mouthful of spit, and wanted to go back and make amends.

Because he knew that his clansmen were still temporarily living in the territory of the academy disciples after all, and if the relationship with the academy disciples was too stiff, it would be impossible to justify it anyway.

If you look up and don't look down, it's better to relax the relationship.

"Well, of course that would be great."

Seeing that the other party gave a step, Zhao Xun quickly walked down the step.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this awkward conversation was finally over.

It seems that in the future, he still needs to listen to the opinions of the third senior brother and the academy youth group.

The third brother, as the head of the youth group of the academy, is the oldest.

He has eaten so many more years than Zhao Xun, and has seen so many more years, so he must have more experience.

Zhao Xun has absolutely no reason to ignore the opinions of the third brother Long Qingquan.

"Come here, please."

The dwarf patriarch Jielin didn't know what Zhao Xun was thinking at the moment, so he led Zhao Xun to their camp on his own.

Due to the short stature of the dwarves, most of the dwarves will live in a tent with more than a dozen people.

This is unbelievable in the eyes of normal-built humans.

You know, for a normal army to march, five or six soldiers and one tent are already the limit.

The marching tents set up in the field are all temporary in nature, and strive to be quickly set up and quickly disassembled, so the scale is not too large.

If it is a barracks, let alone a dozen people, even dozens of people may be able to live there.

Anyway, it is all Chase shops.

The soldiers fell asleep without disturbing each other.

However, the size of the marching tent is very limited, and it would undoubtedly be a huge devastation to squeeze in a dozen strong and strong adults.

So when Zhao Xun saw the tent area where the dwarves gathered, he couldn't believe his eyes.

This density is too big, oh my god, it is almost no different from a shanty town.

Zhao Xun does not discriminate against shantytowns, but people living in this environment will definitely feel great pain both mentally and physically.

This made Zhao Xun feel a little unbelievable.

All right, why did it become like this?

"We leave you a whole area to station, so it shouldn't be so tense?"

Zhao Xun spread his hands, expressing that he couldn't understand why the dwarves were stationed so densely together.

"We live together because we feel safe, we can protect each other and we can inform each other when there is danger."

Seeing that Zhao Xun had misunderstood the meaning, Jie Lin quickly waved his hands.

"Don't get me wrong, we don't mean to complain. What I have to do is to ensure that the tribesmen are in a stable and stable environment and state. If I can't do this, then even if I provide them Circumstances don't make sense either, and I'd be an incompetent patriarch."

Jielin made the words very clear, which helped Zhao Xun understand.

Of course Zhao Xun understood what he meant. He nodded frequently and said, "It's just that this is a bit hard for you. But if this is your habit, then I will choose to respect it and not interfere."

Zhao Xun knows that respect is the basis of cooperation.

Maybe this habit seems strange to them, even funny.

But among the dwarves, maybe it is their habit that has lasted for thousands of years?

Without knowing each other's habits, they have no reason or qualification to question or even laugh at them.

"Thank you, we feel very warm living like this."

The leader of the dwarves, Jelin, grinned and showed a big smile.

For him, this result is undoubtedly the most perfect.

Being able to gain the trust and respect from his allies, he felt that this alliance could last for a long time.

"Go this way."

Zhao Xun followed the dwarf patriarch Jielin all the way, and he felt as if he was in a strange environment.

Although not as exaggerated as Lilliputian, it does have a similar feeling.

"Well, maybe you were in the same state when you lived in the castle? I mean every house is basically next to each other? The streets will also be closely intertwined?"

"Yes, our castles are much smaller than ordinary human castles. This is mainly to defend against the invasion of foreign enemies. Because if we build a large castle, the enemy can easily attack us, and we have to defend every If there is a hole, you need to invest several times the enemy's strength. This is not a good thing."

Zhao Xun understood Jielin's words.

All the seemingly unintentional choices are actually carefully calculated choices.

Some are even chosen by God for them.

It sounds a bit helpless and even bitter, but it is the truth.

People must adapt to the environment if they want to survive, and there is no future in confronting the environment.

"Come on, I will call the most skilled warrior in our group to show you the use of firecrackers."

Jielin obviously didn't want to continue entangled in this topic, so he stretched out an arm and led Zhao Xun to a small mound.

The location of this small mound is on the east side of the elves' territory.

The terrain here is relatively high, and if you stand on a small mound, you can overlook the distant scenery.

Zhao Xun felt that the dwarves might regard this small mound as a lookout station.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xun walked closer, he noticed a miniature watchtower.

Why is it a miniature version, because this watchtower is not much higher than Zhao Xun, that is, the height of two or three dwarves.

This is too cute, Zhao Xun felt that his whole body was going to melt in an instant.

"The Sentinels are stationed here, aren't they?"

Zhao Xun understood the function of this so-called watchtower in just a moment.

"That's right. If the enemy invades or approaches, our sentries will be able to detect and respond immediately."

Jelin said confidently: "It would be unwise for any enemy to attempt to invade our territory. Because we dwarves have a great invention - the telescope."

Zhao Xun nodded.

He knew this.

The binoculars used by the dwarves are, to be precise, monoculars.

The monocular is basically the standard equipment of every captain in the era of great navigation.

He can help the captain see things on the sea far away, and he can also help them distinguish whether the distant ship is an enemy or a friend.

Likewise, a spotting telescope is also useful for dwarves.

Although it is far away, the position of the enemy can still be confirmed.

The situation that is difficult to distinguish and confirm with the naked eye will no longer have any pressure under the monocular.

"Well, if this is the case, it is indeed a very good invention."

Although Zhao Xun was very clear about the working principle of the telescope, he still gave a few words of symbolic admiration.

People like to hear good words and flattery.

Since the academy chose to accept the dwarves as an ally and cooperate with them, there is no reason to make the relationship too rigid.

Relationships need to be maintained.No matter how good the ally is, if the relationship cannot be maintained and managed on a regular basis, problems will arise sooner or later.

Sometimes even family affection needs to be maintained, which Zhao Xun has always paid attention to.

Even when he was the busiest in the office of bad people, he never forgot to take time to go home and visit his family.

"After discovering the enemy's situation and confirming that the other party is an intruder, our sentries will use firecrackers to shoot at them."

Jaylin introduced it on his own.

Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, the dwarves are really a bunch of short-tempered little guys.

Although the range of the firecracker is far less than that of the flintlock, it can be regarded as a big killer in ancient times.

"Generally speaking, what is the hit rate?"

Zhao Xun asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Jaylin, the leader of the dwarves, patted his chest proudly and said, "All of us dwarves are sharpshooters, and I'm not boasting. No one can escape from our guns."

Tsk tsk, this can be regarded as boasting.

"Then how about we try it out?"

"Okay! Let's use the scarecrow."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that of course real people can't be used, the scarecrow is undoubtedly the best choice.

The dwarf patriarch, Jaylin, clapped his palms lightly, and soon some clansmen pushed the target into the distance.

Zhao Xun roughly estimated that it was almost a hundred steps, which is equivalent to the limit distance of the firecracker.

No matter how far away, although it can barely hit, the possibility of hitting the target is too low.

"Now I'm going to order the clansmen to start the demonstration. Are you ready?"

But Jielin didn't say this to his clansmen, but to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun nodded lightly, indicating that Jie Lin could start.

"Ready, shoot!"

The dwarf patriarch Jelin didn't hesitate, but gave the order without hesitation.

After receiving the order, the sharpshooter of the dwarves immediately pulled the trigger, and the lead pellets blasted out of the barrel of the firecracker in an instant, and shot straight towards the distant target!
The distance of one hundred steps may sound like a long distance, but in fact it is only a matter that can be reached in an instant with a shot of a lead shot from a firecracker.

After being pushed out of the barrel of the gun, the lead pellets were quickly circled and shot towards the distance, wrapped in a thunderous momentum.

Tsk tsk tsk, good guy, it's really unusual.

Zhao Xun is a high-level practitioner, so he can feel the flight trajectory of the firecracker lead pellets.

This kind of enchanted lead shot is not comparable to ordinary lead shot in terms of strength or other aspects.

Zhao Xun could clearly feel the enormous power of the lead shot.

A moment later, the lead shot hit the bull's-eye and went straight through it.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhao Xun clapped his palms lightly, and praised: "Miaozai, Miaozai. It's amazing. I really didn't expect the dwarves' marksmanship to be so accurate. It's amazing. Today is really amazing."

The dwarf patriarch Jaylin raised his chin proudly, thinking to himself where is this.

"Next, please appreciate the continuous shooting. This is the unique skill of our dwarves."

"Well"

Zhao Xun nodded, agreeing with the suggestion of the dwarf patriarch Jielin.

Good guy, today he can be regarded as a feast for the eyes.

It has to be said that the firecrackers of the dwarves are definitely a dimensionality reduction blow in this era.

It is difficult for ordinary people to avoid the shooting of firecrackers, and even practitioners may not be able to protect their whole body in such a short period of time.

But for arrows, because of the slow rate of fire, high-level practitioners can easily dodge them.

What does it feel like to be shot by an enchanted lead pellet, and what are the consequences?
Zhao Xun has never tried it, nor does he want to try it.

At this moment, he just wanted to take a good look at the magic of the dwarves' renzhu marksmanship.

"Prepare, shoot!"

The dwarf patriarch, Jelin, issued the order again.

The sharpshooter who had already prepared immediately pulled the trigger.

It's just that what he shot this time was not a single lead shot, but three lead shot in a short period of time.

Lianzhu marksmanship!

Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes nervously for a moment, staring closely at the situation a hundred paces away.

Although he doesn't have a binoculars, this distance is still within the coverage of his forces.

If it is further away, I am afraid that I will not be able to see it.

In the blink of an eye, three black holes appeared on the target one after another.

Zhao Xun looked intently, and sure enough, he saw black smoke rising from the target.

It succeeded, and this dwarf sharpshooter really managed to shoot three consecutive shots in a very short period of time, without missing a single shot!

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

The strength of the dwarf gunners was beyond Zhao Xun's expectations.

In his original impression, the dwarves were good at using firearms, but they were just good at it.

But what he saw today convinced Zhao Xun that there is a reason why the dwarves can continue to this day.

For a large ethnic group to survive, there must be something extraordinary.

Especially the innate conditions of the dwarves are not very good tribes.

If they can't stand alone in certain aspects, they are destined to be annexed or even eliminated by other tribes.

But with the firecrackers, after practicing the peerless marksmanship, the dwarf warriors can really be fearless.

The power of the firecrackers can help them repel their opponents to the greatest extent.Even half-orcs and trolls with rough skin and thick flesh have to be cautious when facing the sharp firecrackers of the dwarves.If he invaded blindly, he might lose his wife and lose his army, or return without success after making a fuss.

War is always about consumption and war damage.

The dwarves clearly realized this.

So they invented the firecracker, which is to implement the concept of consumption and battle damage to the end.

With a large amount of gunpowder reserves and lead shot reserves, the lethality and deterrence of firecrackers are much higher than that of arrows.

Even if the opponent has more vitality, they will feel panic after being beaten to death.

Only the dead are not afraid of this, but that is the way the undead race rely on black magic to manipulate corpses, which is a completely different matter.

As long as the dwarves encounter living people, their strategies will have excellent results.

In the face of sharp dwarf musketeers, almost no enemy can last for more than an hour.

"Where is the damage of this enchantment specifically reflected?"

Now Zhao Xun has no doubts about the shooting accuracy of the dwarf musketeer.

However, he was still curious about where the so-called enchantment was.

"The huge damage comes from the lead shot. We cast a spell in the lead shot. Under the control of the spell, the lead shot can expand to the maximum, sometimes dozens of times."

hiss.
Hearing this, Zhao Xun gasped.

Of course he understood what it meant.

It's dilation.
The lead shot, which was originally only the size of a fingernail, will expand rapidly, and the size after expansion can be dozens of times its previous size.

First of all, the lead pellets will penetrate the human skin and enter the body, and if you are lucky, they will directly penetrate the internal organs.Even if it doesn't penetrate the viscera, it will enter the muscle tissue between the viscera.

Then the magic spell laid down by the dwarves in advance began to work.

Inspired by the expansion technique, the lead pellets began to expand rapidly.This swelling external force will instantly tear up the muscles and connective tissue, and if it is the viscera, it will be directly broken into dregs.

Just thinking about that scene is terrifying.

"So in many cases, the enemy didn't die from excessive blood loss, but their main organs were directly broken and died of exhaustion?"

"Yes."

Jaylin, the leader of the dwarves, nodded without hesitation: "Most of them died of organ failure. This kind of death is very painful, but it will also bring a huge shock. We must protect our people, So there is no choice. If the enemy takes the castle, their methods will be even more cruel. We have no choice."

Jielin repeatedly emphasized that they had no choice.

Of course Zhao Xun understood.

War is cruel, so he has always been against war.

But when the war really breaks out, what everyone can do is to defend their home and country, and protect the people they cherish and cherish.

It is not easy to do this.

Because this means that any distracting thoughts must be abandoned, and you must concentrate on the process of fighting.

Any oversight could be fatal.

The weak will not be merciful on the battlefield, and the only way to survive is to make yourself stronger.

Obviously the dwarves have a good experience in this area.

They know how to protect themselves and how to survive the brutal war.

To exist in this world, a person must have a unique skill.

The unique skill of the dwarves is their superb shooting skills.

As long as they have this unique skill, they don't need to worry about the enemy's invasion at any time.

As long as the Corruptors are not aggressively attacking, they can basically repel the invaders.

"But what if the Corruptor comes?"

Zhao Xun will always assume the worst, because if an accident does happen, they can deal with it to the greatest extent, and they will not panic.

"If the Corruptor invades, we still have a hole card, and that is the artillery."

Jelin hesitated, but he still said it after thinking twice.

"To be precise, it's a fragmented cannon."

Jielin took a deep breath and said, "The cannon will shatter after hitting the enemy. The fragments will penetrate into the enemy's body. These fragments are also enchanted, so even the Corruptor will suffer great damage. Of course, it is not an easy task to kill them completely. Because the undead are essentially undead, does this sound a little funny? But it is true, the undead manipulate the dead. Hahaha but this is We will not use our last hole card until it is absolutely necessary."

Zhao Xun nodded silently.

He could understand what Jaylin meant.

The reason why the last hole card is called the last hole card is because they have no other choice.

If this last hole card fails to play the expected role, the dwarves will have nothing to do.

Therefore, they cannot give the enemy time to react, and must use it when the situation is most urgent.

Maybe they only have one chance, maybe the second time the enemy will realize how to deal with it.

But it is this opportunity that can give them time to save their lives.

Maybe the dwarves can use this rare and precious time to escape.

No one wants to run away from home.

They don't want to run away from a possible situation where they still have the option to choose.

Fleeing means throwing away everything connected with the tribe, and all ancient inheritances will be lost in the panic of fleeing.

But the dwarves came to the new world through the dark portal this time, not to escape.

At least in Zhao Xun's view, this is not an escape.

Because the dwarves retreated in an orderly manner and kept the most precious things in their tribe.

The dwarf warriors have well preserved the firecrackers, the firecrackers and the tenacity to win.

With these things in place, Zhao Xun felt that the dwarves would definitely have the last laugh.

The short time spent with Jie Lin, the leader of the dwarves, gave Zhao Xun a new understanding of the dwarves.

In his opinion, the reason why the dwarves can go to today is that their concurrent roles have played a huge role.

No tribe is successful without reason.

The dwarves really deserve to survive to this day.

Zhao Xun was even more thankful that he chose to accept the dwarves at that time and chose to form an alliance with them.

This is definitely a trusted ally.

"I have one last question. That is, if the enemy chooses to attack the mountain in an all-round way, what method can we use to block it most efficiently?"

Although Zhao Xun felt that the possibility of the Corruptors aggressively invading Mount Zhongnan was not very high, he still wanted to prepare for the worst.

The reason is also very simple, be prepared.

The affluent city of Chang'an is like a piece of fat, but after all, this piece of fat is guarded by a large formation and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from the Great Zhou.

If the Corruptors found that they could not easily take Chang'an City after a tentative attack, Zhao Xun felt that they would probably choose to give up and then adjust the direction of attack to Zhongnan Mountain not far away.

As a whole, Mount Zhongnan was not guarded by a large formation. Although there were restrictions, it basically covered a small part of the academy.

Most of Zhongnan Mountain is still exposed to enemy fire.

Pick the persimmons softly.

If the Corruptor really chooses to aggressively attack Zhongnan Mountain, Zhao Xun can imagine what the battle will be like.

At least in the outer area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain, the coalition forces do not have any advantage.

If the Corruptors invaded and occupied these peripheral areas, it would be possible to encircle the Academy.

If it really gets to that point, it will be very detrimental to the academy.

Of course Zhao Xun didn't want things to develop to that point.

So he must presuppose all the possibilities and take all the possibilities into consideration.

"Our best way is to cut and divide them and prevent the corruptors from gathering together. According to my past experience, the combat effectiveness of the gathered corrupters is extremely powerful. But if they are scattered, the more scattered they are, the weaker they will be , and the combat effectiveness will be even worse.”

The patriarch of the dwarves, Jielin, said to Zhao Xun heartily: "We must try our best to separate them. Corruptors, especially undead, have poor individual combat capabilities. And it seems that their controllers can only Only within the range can black magic be used to control the dead. Once beyond this range of control, their control will be greatly reduced or even become invalid."

Well?
This is a very important message.

Since the undead also use magic, magic has boundaries and limits.

Even black magic is no exception.

Zhao Xun thought to himself that if the magic could be blocked artificially, so that the magic appeared on the border, then the threat of the undead would be greatly reduced.

"What about the devil?"

"The situation of the demon clan is a bit complicated. I know that they are divided into high-level demons and low-level demons. The difference between high-level and low-level demons is called potential. The higher the potential, the higher the level of the demon, which usually means that their evil thoughts are higher. , the stronger the combat power. If we encounter lower-level demons, it’s okay to say that the enchanted firecrackers and cannons can handle it. But if we encounter high-level demons.”

"What if we encounter a high-level demon?"

Zhao Xun became nervous for a moment.

"If what we encounter is a high-level demon, it cannot be effectively killed by enchanted firearms alone."

Jielin gave an answer that made Zhao Xun despair.

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, there is, but I haven't tried it in actual combat, so I can't prove its effectiveness."

The patriarch of the dwarves, Jaylin, spread his hands.

"Don't think about it, let's talk about it first."

"Well, according to the legend, if you want to subdue the high-level demons, you can only rely on the high-level elves, because in the ancient legends, the high-level spirits are heavenly against the high-level demons."

High Elf
This involves the elves.

No wonder the patriarch of the dwarves, Jaylin, has been hesitating and refusing to speak.

This guy is really full of self-esteem.

But Zhao Xun is very clear that this time is obviously not the time when self-esteem is overflowing.

Since they chose to form an alliance, it is because any single force cannot fight against the powerful Corruptor.

Only by reporting to the group to keep warm will they have a chance.

"How did the high elves defeat the high demons?"

"I have to ask the elves about this. But it is said that it is suppressed by blood."

Good guy, bloodline suppression.
Zhao Xun was stunned when he heard this answer.

It turns out that the other world also engages in blood suppression.

"Well, I have gained a lot today, thank you for your sincere display. I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Zhao Xun had obtained enough information in the camp of the dwarves, and then he decided to go to the camp of the elves to ask about the core information of the high elves and the high-level demons.

After arriving at the elf tribe's residence, Zhao Xun expressed his intention to the elf king Odysseyka.

He has always been like this, he says what he has, and he doesn't like to hide it.

Because in his opinion, this is a waste of both parties' time.

"So, can the high elves restrain the high demons? If so, what is the core of their restraint against the high demons?"

"this one"

Odysseyka seemed a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should reveal these key information to Zhao Xun.

Because these are secret matters that only the elves know, if they are known by outsiders, will it be detrimental to the elves.

These are all issues that he must consider.

He is the patriarch of the elves, and the first thing to do is to be responsible to the elves.

As for the aliens, although they are allies, they are also outsiders, and they have to be placed in the back row.

But Zhao Xun's situation is a bit special. Although he is also a foreigner, he is the landlord of this world after all.

In Zhongnanshan, there is no doubt that the people of the academy have the final say.

If the elves offended the academy and Zhao Xun because of such a trivial matter, no matter how you look at it, the loss outweighs the gain.

So Elf King Odysseyka was very hesitant. He was weighing the pros and cons, analyzing the pros and cons.

In his opinion, this is really a bit difficult to choose.

He kept swinging from side to side, unable to make up his mind.

Zhao Xun wanted to roll his eyes seeing him like a mother-in-law.

This is in stark contrast to the behavior of the dwarf leader Jaylin just now.

Although the dwarf is not tall and rough, he is a real man.

On the other hand, the elves, although they are all tall and handsome, why are they so grumpy?

If it's a man, just be more straightforward. Isn't it a waste of both parties' time to procrastinate like this?

Wasting time is wasting life.

I don't know if Zhao Xun's slander played a role. In short, Odysseyka, the Elf King, seems to have finally made a decision.

"Actually, this matter is simple to say, and complicated to say. Simply put, it's blood pressure."

"."

It really made the leader of the dwarves hit the mark.

This bloodline suppression is simple.

"Can you be more specific?"

Zhao Xun didn't want to be fooled by the Elf King so easily.

"of course."

Elf King Odysseyka sighed and said, "Because demons and elves were actually one family in ancient times."

hiss.
Hearing this, Zhao Xun gasped.

He had considered various situations, but this was the only one he hadn't considered.

Demons and elves were a family hundreds of years ago?
Why do the tribes on the continent of Alan Lore like to engage in this kind of drama of mutual betrayal?
You betrayed me, I betrayed you, can't the big guys love each other and the family?
Zhao Xun was simply convinced.

Of course, to some extent, it makes sense that elves and demons are a family.

Because all things appear for a reason, it is impossible to pop up suddenly.

The same is true of demons.

Since the elves are one of the oldest tribes, it is understandable that they are the ancestors of the demons.

"Why did the demon clan betray you in the first place? I mean, isn't it good to be a noble elf?"

"Because one of the high elves, a high priest named Hatorus, was squeezed out and had no choice but to leave. This departure laid the foundation for the rise of the demon clan. After he became black, he was no longer willing to be an elf, but created his own created a new tribe and called it the Demon Clan."

It is no wonder that the entanglement between the elves and the demons is so deep, and it is no wonder that after the Corruptor invaded the continent of Alan Lore in the second era, the elves would choose to be ghosts.

It turns out that there is such an inextricable connection.

Zhao Xun felt that he was chasing an epic drama, and the reversal kept eating melons.

"The demon clan uses potential to distinguish strength. The higher the potential, the stronger the strength, and the higher the status. Demons with high potential are called high-level demons."

After opening the chatterbox, the Elf King Odysseyka didn't have any reservations, but said with a single brain: "The power of high-level demons lies in their ability to invade people's minds, not only in dreams, but also when people are awake. They can destroy people's thinking world like ruins. If a person with normal mental power is invaded by demons, he will become insane in a short period of time and completely go crazy."

Damn, is it so scary?
Although Zhao Xun had never been invaded by humans in the conscious state, he had indeed been invaded by dreams more than once.

It was none other than the High Priest of the Demon Sect who invaded his dream.

In Zhao Xun's view, the demon's way of invading the Sea of ​​Consciousness should be similar to the way of the High Priest of the Demon Sect.

It's just that the method used by demons to invade the Sea of ​​Consciousness may be simpler and more ruthless, and more unpredictable.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if that's the case, can't you resist?"

"Resist?"

The Elf King Odysseyka sneered and said: "How can you resist? It would be better if you are a magician who masters magic. If you are a member of an ordinary tribe, how can you resist? You must know that the reason why demons can invade people's thinking is Because they have the ability to resist magic. Unless a powerful magician can counter it, it is impossible for ordinary people to resist."

Good guy, is this an infinite nesting doll?
Magic, counter magic, magic that counters magic.
Sure enough, only magic can defeat magic.

There is a saying that if you want to untie the bell, you must tie the bell. It seems that if you want to deal with the demons, the elves are indispensable.

"The reason why the elves can fight against the demons is because we are a family a long, long time ago. We know how the demons think, just like we know ourselves. But there are accidents. Because after all these years, their thinking The method will change to a certain extent. Their behavior when they invaded the Sea of ​​Consciousness will also be a little bit beyond our expectations, but we can always guess that it is almost inseparable."

Modesty, really too modest.

In Zhao Xun's view, the elf king Odysseyka must be pretending to be modest.

Obviously, the elves can take the absolute initiative, so it seems that there are still variables.

There is a saying in the art of war, know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles.

Even though they already know what the other party is thinking, is it possible that they can't win this battle?
Zhao Xun even felt that if a war really started, the demons would try their best to avoid direct contact with the elves.

Of course, these are just his conjectures.

"So you are the main force against the demon clan."

Zhao Xun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, positioning the main force of the elves.

Although it is a coalition battle, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary.

Only when the primary and secondary are clearly distinguished, there will be a sense of hierarchy in the battle.

And if it's just a hodgepodge, the scene will undoubtedly be very chaotic.

Even if I was lucky enough to win in the end, I still feel frightened and unhappy about winning.

Of course Zhao Xun didn't want this.

He wanted the whole situation to be under his control from beginning to end.

Unless it is a last resort, there is no need for Shan Chang to come forward to save the scene.

Although the head of the mountain is powerful, he will eventually grow old one day.

If Zhao Xun and the others are already used to relying on the head of the mountain, what will happen after the head of the mountain is gone?
They don't even have the slightest self-protection ability, so how can they fight against powerful enemies?
Therefore, you should try your best to cultivate your ability to handle things alone from the very beginning, even if you are facing a strong enemy, you must be methodical.

At present, the elves are the main force against the demons, and the dragons are the main force against the undead.Dwarves are the main force against mercenaries.

As for the humans.
Zhao Xun has not yet figured out the role of the human race.

Although the human race has powerful magicians, most of them stayed in the continent of Allen Lore. Prince Harry Botsman did not bring the great magician to this world.There are even some magicians who have turned into black wizards, which are potential threats to the academy.

Looking at it this way, was it a mistake for Zhao Xun to take in the humans from the Casper Kingdom?

But now that the matter has come to an end, Zhao Xun can't take the medicine of regret, and can only arrange troops on the existing basis as much as possible, waiting for the arrival of the big battle.

It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Since there is going to be a fight sooner or later, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Well, you're back, little brother? How's the situation?"

Seeing Zhao Xun's return, third senior brother Long Qingquan hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

In his opinion, Zhao Xun is simply a social expert, no matter what tribe he is, no matter how strange a foreign race, Zhao Xun can communicate with them smoothly.

It is really not easy to be able to do this step.

"Third senior brother, let me drink some water first. I just went to the camp of the dwarves and elves, and my mouth is already parched, and I am about to explode."

Zhao Xun's current mood is very hateful and bad, the third brother Long Qingquan's temper is too impatient, Zhao Xun has always been a little dumbfounded.

"Well, my fault, my fault. But what kind of water do you drink, little brother? Let's quench your thirst with a cup of milk tea."

After finishing speaking, the third senior brother Long Qingquan brought a cup of milk tea to Zhao Xun.

"."

Zhao Xun looked unlovely.

Third senior brother, don't you know that milk tea is sweet, and the more you drink it, the thirstier you become?

Zhao Xun was helpless, but since the third senior brother delivered all the milk tea in front of him, it's not easy for him to directly brush off the face of the third senior brother.

If this is the case, the third senior brother will really not be able to hold his head up in front of him in the future.

Zhao Xun had no choice but to take the milk tea, and drank it reluctantly.

Well, it seems to be better than he imagined.
After swallowing and slowing down, Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said: "Dwarves, I have seen the power of their firearms. At first, I only thought that the firearms of the dwarves were in vain, but after seeing them today, I completely changed my previous beliefs. Prejudice. Not only are their firearms sharp, but the people who wield them are also powerful. These are real fighters, allies who can be trusted on the battlefield, and the determination and desire for victory are revealed in the eyes of each of their fighters. That look can't be fooled."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if this is the case, that would be great. It means that we have gained a powerful ally."

At the beginning, Long Qingquan was worried that the junior brother was doing bad things with good intentions, so he accepted a batch of oil bottles.

But now it seems that at least the dwarves are making a solid profit on this deal.

The dwarves can not only protect their own people, but can even charge for the allied and coalition forces and play their due role.

That's great.

"What about the elves?"

The third senior brother Long Qingquan asked.

"Elves."

Zhao Xun frowned instinctively when he mentioned the elves.

This is not because of anything else, but because the elves are too boring and mother-in-law.

Zhao Xun could imagine how an elf could be so grumpy.

Especially Odysseyka, the Elf King, didn't have the decisiveness that a king should have. He babbled and hesitated like an old woman. I really don't know how he became the Elf King.

"The elves are heavenly against demons, because they were one family a long time ago. The demons rebelled from the elves."

"hiss"

Sure enough, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan had exactly the same reaction as Zhao Xun after hearing the news.

This is also normal, after all, normal people will be shocked when they hear the news.

The elves have reached the point where they are today, and for some reason it is their own fault.

Of course, Zhao Xun still had to form an alliance with them.

Because from the perspective of fighting against demons, no one is more suitable than the elves.

In this regard, the elves are irreplaceable.

"In this way, everything makes sense. No wonder the leader of the Dragon Clan, Loren, hates the elves so much, because the invasion of the Corruptor is essentially because there are traitors among the elves. There will be no subsequent series of events."

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said, "That's the truth."

"So how do you plan to let the elves be the main force?"

"Fighting against the demon elves must be the main force. There is no doubt about it. But I don't intend to show this card as soon as I come up. I want to create an illusion that the elves are not in Zhongnanshan."

In terms of layout, Zhao Xun is getting better at it now.

The third brother Long Qingquan also felt very right after hearing it.

"Tsk tsk, if that's the case, it's really interesting. Junior brother, you want to lure the enemy in, right? This move is really easy to use. As long as it is used well, it can really get twice the result with half the effort."

Long Qingquan, the third senior brother, stroked the beard sticking to his chin, and said softly: "However, have you considered one thing, that is, the Corruptor can smell the breath emanating from the elves. This seems to be the specialty of the Corruptor. The powerful The sense of smell allows them to distinguish the smells of different tribes."

"Of course I have considered this. In fact, it is not difficult to cover up the smell of the elves. You only need to use one kind of food to do it."

"Food?"

Hearing the word "delicious food", third senior brother Long Qingquan's eyes widened like cowbells, his Adam's apple instinctively moved and he began to swallow his saliva.

"Yes, a delicacy. I named this delicacy stinky tofu."

Zhao Xun introduced it very seriously: "The special feature of stinky tofu is that it smells stinky and tastes delicious. With various honey sauce seasonings, it feels like it bursts into your mouth when you bite it, tsk tsk, it's really delicious. It's the best in the world."

Now the third senior brother Long Qingquan couldn't control his mouth anymore, his tongue started to lick involuntarily.

"Ahem, of course, I said that this stinky tofu is not used to satisfy the gluttony, but to cover up the smell of the elves. This smell can overwhelm all smells. As long as the Corruptor cannot distinguish the smell of the elves, we The purpose is achieved. Isn't it?"

"It does seem to be the case."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan nodded frequently.

"Little Junior Brother, I really belong to you."

Long Qingquan rubbed his palms repeatedly, and said leisurely: "But this battle hasn't started yet, I want to taste the taste of this stinky tofu first, so I know what it is. Junior brother, I know you must be Will make some ahead of time for me to try, right?"

Uh.
How come we talked about eating while chatting, the third senior brother is really good
Zhao Xun didn't know what to do for a while.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll make some for the third senior brother to taste first, but the third senior brother must not tell the outside, this fried stinky tofu is too energy-consuming, I can do it for two people, if I make too much, I will really suffer." Can't live."
