Chapter 49: Troll Warlord Ogg

Chapter 49: Troll Warlord Ogg
Northland, Winter Lake City.

Winter Lake City is located next to a huge ice lake. The floating ice in the lake reflects the skylight. The snow-capped mountain glaciers on one side of the city melt into waterfalls and flow into the ice lake.

Icicles hung from the outer edge of the city wall. Two giant orc statues wearing armor and holding battle axes stood in front of the city gate. The caravan of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce entered the city gate in an orderly manner.

The guard was a human, and he let them go after checking the documents Lena presented.

There was a festive atmosphere in the city, with free folk taking to the streets for fun. This class included orcs, half-orcs, humans and many other races.

Yeats rode through the streets, and out of the corner of his eye he saw street performers breathing fire, caged tigers mauling elk, and market stalls filled with exotic goods.

Two griffins were circling overhead, with knights riding on their backs wearing barrel helmets, plate armor, and holding lances.

"Griffin meat can be made into stewed meat rolls with vegetables, and the aroma of vegetables can neutralize the sour taste of the meat..." Ye Zhi murmured to himself.

Gray holds her forehead: (ノдヽ)
After spending so much time with Yeats, I feel that eating griffin meat is completely acceptable!

The arrival of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce excited the citizens, but Lena did not linger on them for too long. This business trip overcame many difficulties, and the goods brought were all expensive, so naturally they had to negotiate with the chiefs and nobles.

The caravan stopped in front of the local Merchants Guild's post station, and Lena invited Ye Zhi and others to go into the post station to rest.

Yeats asked Lena and learned that the registration location for the poetry festival was at the entrance of the city's arena.

The Aurora Poetry Festival is a grand event in the North. Not only northern nobles but also free people are eligible to participate, provided that they pay an entry fee of five gold coins.

"You must be careful when you go to the arena." Lena said in a serious tone, "There are many pickpockets in Winter Lake City. Young masters like you who are well-dressed and young are the most sought after targets by thieves!"

Yeats was wearing only a simple fur coat and a wool sweater, but he looked outstanding and well-dressed.

Clothes depend on who you wear.

"Pickpocket?" Yeats nodded. "I remember it."

Ye Zhi has 99% of the career progress of a Wanderer, which means that he has an absolute advantage in skills over mortal thieves!
When preparing to go to the arena, Ye Zhi saw Hilde coming to Lena to resign, saying that he was going to lead his personal guards away and would not be back for a few days.

After the Frostwolf Cavalry incident, Lena had learned that Hildreth was a descendant of the Red-haired King, but she did not ask any questions and let her go readily.

After leaving the post station, Ye Zhi reminded Xilude: "Your whereabouts have been revealed. I'm afraid something might happen on the way. You might even encounter an assassin."

Hildre nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on it."

"It's not enough to just be careful." Ye Zhi handed over a jar of potion, "This is the antidote I prepared myself. Take it with you in case of emergency."

Xilude pondered for a while, took the potion, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your reminder... and the antidote."

The smile of the ice beauty was so bright and charming that Yeats was dazed for a moment and felt emotional.

According to the plot, this antidote is related to the life of your Asian dragon herald.

Why not just say thank you? Why not pledge your love to me?
Ye Zhi only dared to say this in his heart, and waved his hand generously, saying: "No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."

The Argonian herald stood quietly behind Hildreth, watching Ye Zhi's expression and thinking secretly.

Mr. Baron, do you have any interest in Lord Hildreth?
Or, does he have some ideas about the throne of the North?

Lady Hildreda is the claimant to the throne of the North. If Lord Yeats marries her, he may become the Prince of the North in the future.

A baron is far from qualified to marry Lord Hildreda.

But Ye Zhi has a close relationship with the Goddess of Dark Night and is also the messenger of the Goddess of Winter. Combining with Lady Hildre might help her ascend to the throne... The Argonian nodded secretly.

I agree to this marriage!

On the way to the arena, Gray bought a bag of dried fish from a vendor and ate it as she walked.

Gray: (^~^)
Ye Zhi held out his hand and said, "Give me one too."

"I bought it myself." Gray hid the dried fish behind her back and looked alert. "If you want to eat it, buy it yourself."

Ye Zhi raised his hand and summoned a snow leopard, then lifted the little snow leopard by the scruff of its neck: "Give me a small dried fish."

Gray looked at the snow leopard, only to see it open its sapphire eyes wide, its attitude softening instantly, and it took out a small dried fish.

"Give it to me, I'll feed it," said Yeats.

"Here." Gray handed it to Yeats.

Ye Zhi stuffed the dried fish into his mouth and summoned the little snow leopard back to the magical pet plane while chewing.

"Ah…(￣～￣)"

Gray: (O_o)??
Ye Zhi: "It tastes good... Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gray: "Didn't you say you were here to feed the snow leopard?"

Yeats: "I just said I would feed it, I didn't say who I would feed it to."

Gray: (`Д*)9
Bang!
Before Gray touched Ye Zhi, Ye Zhi was bumped by someone.

The little boy who bumped into Ye Zhi turned his head, showing a panic-stricken look, and said, "I'm sorry, sir!"

Ye Zhi smiled gently: "It's okay, just be more careful when walking next time."

The little boy nodded repeatedly and left quickly.

I walked into an alley, weighed my heavy purse, and couldn't help laughing.

When he opened the purse, his expression suddenly changed: "Why is it a stone?"

the other side.

Ye Zhi weighed the purse in his hand, opened it and couldn't help laughing:
"Oh, so rich, with a gold coin and thirty copper coins." "He must have stole from the last unlucky guy and then ran into you."

Gray looked at Ye Zhi, who was obsessed with money, and was a little speechless. She said, "Where did you learn this skillful hand?"

"It's just a gift from the Grandmaster."

Ye Zhi smiled happily, placed nine copper coins on the wooden barrel on the street, and put them into Gray's hand: "This is a reward for you. You can buy some dried fish later."

Gray's eyes lit up, rubbed his hands, and suggested:

"Or else, Ye Zhi, go steal a few more kids?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

As expected of an outlaw, he has a flexible moral bottom line!

Outside the arena.

Next to the empty open-air arena, a wooden table was set up with a flag erected next to it.

The person in charge of registration for the Aurora Poetry Festival is a fox girl from the Isu tribe, with charming peach blossom eyes and a fluffy fox tail.

After a brief handover, Ye Zhi handed over the purse: "Five gold coins are in it."

The fox girl stared at Ye Zhi, stretched out her hand to take the purse, her eyes full of autumn water, and said softly:

"A handsome young man like you will surely be favored by the goddess of art. I would like to congratulate you on your success."

At this moment, Ye Zhi saw a shadow covering the table. The fox girl's pupils contracted, and the burly figure behind Ye Zhi was reflected in her frightened eyes.

Ye Zhi turned his head and saw a huge troll standing behind him.

This troll has blue skin, strong muscles, long teeth, and a deep and bright look in his eyes, unlike the other trolls. He has a bag of spears hanging on his back, and is dressed in fur armor, like a hunter.

"You, are you also here to sign up for the Aurora Poetry Festival?" the fox girl asked tremblingly.

"Stanza? Me? How is that possible!" The troll laughed as if he had heard a very funny joke. "I'm here to hunt moose! The moose hunting activity for the Ice Lake Festival should also be registered here!"

"Yes." The fox girl nodded quickly and said in one breath, "Hunting a moose only requires a registration fee of one gold coin, and then you can enter the lakeside forest to hunt the giant moose released by the lord. The successful hunter will receive a reward of 300 gold coins. Please note that the lord is not responsible for any death caused during the hunt!"

"The registration fee is one gold coin? So much?" The troll showed an embarrassed look, scratched his bald head, and laughed, "My money was stolen. Can you pay me back after I kill the giant moose?"

The fox girl didn't dare to speak, her face turned pale... Trolls eat people! The Isu tribe is also on the trolls' menu!

“Don’t be afraid.” The troll seemed even more flustered than the fox girl. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, “I won’t make things difficult for you. I, Ogg, never bully the weak!”

Ye Zhi was suddenly startled: "What's your name?"

The troll looked back at Yeats, a friendly glimmer in his eyes and a grin on his ugly face: "My name is Og, what can I do for you?"

Ogg, the troll warrior in Phantom Wings.

In the plot, he joined the resistance army of the Kingdom of Beasts and made great military achievements!

"I'll pay for this gold coin." Ye Zhi took out three gold coins. "In addition, my guards and I are also going to hunt the giant moose."

After talking with Ye Zhi, the fox girl was obviously much more relaxed. She completed the registration for Ye Zhi, Oger and Grey and gave them a small piece of iron as a certificate.

The troll Ogg wrapped the small piece of iron with his large palm, carefully put it into his pocket, and grinned:
"Thank you for lending money to Og. I will pay you back as soon as I have money."

Yeats smiled silently, feeling very confident in the troll's character.

"You are Og's friends." The troll smiled friendly, "I invite you to have dinner at Og's house!"

Gray was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the troll's dinner was... a cannibal feast? !
Ye Zhi readily agreed: "Okay."

Gray's face was filled with horror:)
The ingredients can be unpopular, but they can’t be weird!
The troll walked and hummed a tune in a good mood. Yeats and Gray followed behind him. They saw the troll helping the human women selling bread to carry wooden barrels along the way, and received a basket of bread as a gift, laughing heartily.

When he passed by an alley, a group of ragged children swarmed up and hugged the troll Ogg's thighs, and he distributed the bread to the children.

"I always feel that this troll is not very troll-like?" Gray said curiously.

"You'll know when you see his house," said Yeats.

Soon, the two followed the troll to a low house.

The troll lowered his head, knocked on the wooden door, and smiled;

"Mother, I'm back!"

squeak-

The figure who opened the door made Gray stunned for a moment.

The gray-haired old human grandmother hunched over and said:
"Ogg, you're back... Who are these two?"

"They are my friends." The troll smiled cheerfully, "I would like to invite them to have dinner at my house!"

"So that's how it is." The old lady smiled kindly, "You guys go inside and rest first, I'll make the stew."

Yeats smiled.
