I'm not that kind of orc

"It's a wooden man!!" I couldn't help raising my voice again.
Royal Tomb Guard (4)
?
"Okay, we won." I quietly approached behind Islinati, raised my hand and put my palm on her shoulder, announcing victory.
"You passed the game in one round, it seems that you are very good at this game."
Islinati turned her face and said calmly, raising her hand to release the illusion.
"It's more about getting used to it than being good at it..."
After all, when hunting in the past, there was no lack of experience of approaching the prey quietly from behind. Compared with approaching those vigilant beasts, the difficulty of this small game is obviously much lower.
"In comparison, Your Highness, you are too impatient." Islinati glanced at Arsena again.
Arsena was out within ten seconds of the game.
"I just want to keep up with Mr. Bullock..." Arsena curled her lips and muttered.
Because of the difference in stride and experience, my forward efficiency is much higher than Alsena's.Arsena was eager to keep up with me, but she was eliminated early by accident.
But no matter what, we still passed the second round of tests steadily - although it was not a serious test.
"What's the third test?" I asked Islinati.
"The third test is not as simple as the first two." Islinati calmly entangled the snake's tail, "Not only does it require keen judgment, but it also requires a little bit of luck. You all need to be conscious."
I raised my chin towards Islinati blankly, motioning for her to quickly explain the content of the third round of tests.
Islinati coughed dryly, and then said: "As a king who leads his subjects, he needs to know the art of knowing people. Those who are close to vermilion, those who are red and black are black, trust noble and loyal allies, and make good use of loyal and capable people to lead the kingdom. Prosperity, but credulous crooked villains will lead to the decline of the country. In the next test, you will run your own country, fully manage every class, and be careful of the devil's bewitching..."
"Please wait a moment." I couldn't help raising my hand, "Can you just tell us what the rules of the game are?"
After experiencing her nagging in the first two rounds, now I can vaguely feel that the third round of the test will not have any serious content.
"It seems that you despise this game...I mean the test." Islinati showed a little dissatisfaction when I interrupted her.
You have already said that this is a game.
"Please, just tell me the rules." I repeated the request helplessly.
"Okay then." Islinati took out a stack of cards from the hidden compartment of the pedestal, and began to explain the rules to us, "The card types in this deck include farmers, merchants, bards, Guard, Swordsman, Ranger, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Queen and King, there are four of each card type, in addition to a single demon card. Next I will divide these cards evenly among three People, and then we each throw the paired cards in our hands into the pile, and then form a circle and draw the cards in order..."
"The cards drawn and the cards in the hand form a pair and continue to be thrown into the pile. The person who runs out of cards first wins, and the person who holds the devil card last loses." Halfway through I heard it, I understood a little bit , so I simply opened my mouth and took it for her, "Is that right?"
"That's right." Islinati nodded, "Although this test is very particular about luck, if you play to the end, you will eventually have a life-and-death choice between the devil card and other cards. At this time, you need to draw cards." People are good at observing words and expressions..."
"This is drawing jokers." I sighed.
"..." Arsena was also silent.
Look, I'm just saying, it's not going to be a normal test.
Islinati was silent for a while, then tilted her head towards us again: "If you want to understand it this way..."
"So this is simply drawing ghost cards!" I complained fiercely, and couldn't help asking the other party, "I said, backgammon, wooden figures and drawing ghost cards, do these have anything to do with the test? You really are not Are you kidding us!?"
Islinati fell silent after listening to my questioning. After a long time, she raised one hand and scratched her head, then spread both hands towards us, and suddenly put on an unusually lazy tone: " Well, well, well, I admit, I admit, these games really have nothing to do with the test."
I was taken aback by her sudden change: "Then... what is the real test?"
"The test is actually over long ago." Islinati lazily replied, "My first master gave me the ability of telepathy in order to allow me to take better care of the treasure house. Through the Amplification enchantment, I can clearly sense the hostility or kindness emanating from other people. I can examine a person's soul and assess the danger of the other party based on experience. I have already examined you when you came in, and you all There is no danger, as the holders of the key to the tomb, you have the right to call the army here."
That is to say, from the moment we came in, we actually
"In fact, no matter how the game wins or loses, you will hand over the army to us?" I couldn't help frowning.
"Yeah, if you guys can't win all the time, I will choose to let go when I get tired of playing, just like the first round of backgammon." Islinati put her hands on her head and shuffled the deck of cards with both hands, "It's not shameful to lose backgammon to me. After all, I often play with myself to pass the time when I'm bored. I don't know how many years it has been."
"Then why are you pulling us to do these things?" I asked in surprise.
Arsena's expression was also bewildered.
"Of course it's because I want to play!" Islinati suddenly stretched out her six arms and raised her voice, "Please think about it carefully. As a sentient creature, if you stay in the same place for ten years, Other than turning into a stone sculpture and falling asleep, you can only play with yourself. Anyone else would be so bored, right? This is the king's tomb again. Except for the king's burial, no one comes in at all. It's hard for guests like you to come in. , I asked you to play a little game to relieve boredom, is it too much?"
Althea and I looked at each other.
"Okay, I understand you." Arsena walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder, "It was my ancestors who asked you to guard the tomb, and it is our responsibility not to consider your difficulties to some extent... this matter I promise to find a solution in the future, but the situation outside is very urgent now, can you give us the command of the army first?"
"Don't be so anxious, Your Highness, I will definitely hand over the command of the army to you. Just play the last round with me." Islinati suddenly grabbed Arsena's shoulders, and begged her, "Win If you take my word for it, I can give you some extra benefits."
Royal Tomb Guard (5)
"Oh? Additional benefits?" Arsena raised her eyebrows slightly, and gave Islinati a sideways glance.
This is... the eyes of the businessman, and it is well-handled, showing a little interest in investing or buying, but at the same time not looking overly eager, ready to take the lead in bargaining at any time.
"That's right." Islinati nodded and said, "If you can win another round, I will not only hand over the command of the Lingwei Army to you, but also personally go out to serve you."
"You?" Arsena looked her up and down, "Are you strong?"
"Of course! In order to test my strength, your ancestors appointed thirty high-ranking paladins to besiege me, and they didn't take advantage of it at all." Islinati smiled proudly, "With the blessing of the alchemy circle of the mausoleum I can still get stronger.”
"But you left here, who will guard the tomb?" Arsena frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, I will use my magic power to set up a counter-attack barrier and poisonous snake guards here, even if there is a squadron of tomb robbers, I will never get in." Islinati wrapped her snake tail around Arsena, and held her hands together. Putting it on her shoulders, clasping both hands on the side of his face, he seduced Alsena expectantly, "Look, Your Highness, no matter how you look at it, the situation outside is more urgent now. Just win the game , you can get a loyal Patrol Naga to work for you, so you won’t lose any money, won’t you?”
"Listen, that seems to be the case..." Alsena nodded thoughtfully.
"Right? Right!" Islinati saw the dawn of hope.
However, at this moment, Arsena suddenly changed the topic: "However, if you look at it from another angle, aren't you just borrowing my permission to leave your post without permission? Do you dare to say that you don't want to take the opportunity to go out and think carefully?"
"Uh, this... is indeed a little bit." Islinati rubbed her index fingers with her remaining two hands.
"Switching one's selfish desires into benefits for others, do you think this is really reasonable?" Arsena narrowed her eyes at her.
"No, no, no, of course not!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yislinati waved her six hands desperately, "There are more! There are additional benefits!!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and rushed to the pedestal where she lived, and took out a bracelet from the hidden compartment.
"When I left the ruins in the past, I brought a few treasures with me." Islinati raised the bracelet towards Arsena, "For example, this light-forged guardian bracelet can greatly enhance the strength of the holy light spell, your highness It’s a paladin, this thing will definitely be useful to you. As long as you beat me once, this bracelet will belong to you, what do you think?”
"Hmm..." Arsena stroked her chin and thought about it.
"Please, Your Highness." Islinati rushed forward suddenly, hugged Arsena's waist with six arms and raised her face, begging her, "Just play with me!! You just said You will understand my difficulty, won't you?"
This guy has suddenly become aggressive... It seems that he is really afraid that we will just leave her and leave.
"It's better to promise her." I persuaded Arsena, "She is too pitiful if it goes on like this."
"Alright then." Arsena finally let go, "That's it."
"Ah, thank you very much." Islinati happily waggled her snake tail, then rushed to the side of the pedestal, entangled her snake tail there, and patted the table to greet us, "Then let's get started! I can't wait!"
This is the face of this guy. It turns out that she is so looking forward to playing these games with the guests. It's thanks to her that she was able to put on such a serious look just now.
Finally, after we played three rounds of the game with this lonely patrolling naga, she was finally willing to take us to have a look at the mysterious Mausoleum Guard.
Islinati packed up all the things, and chanted a spell with unusual pronunciation towards her pedestal, and then we watched the pedestal slowly move away, revealing the entrance to the underground.
"You two, please follow me." Islinati summoned a suspended ball of light in front of her as a light, and entered the entrance first.
We followed her down the stone steps, and what we finally saw was a huge circular pit.
Then Islinati controlled the ball of light she summoned to move directly above the deep pit, illuminating the situation under the deep pit.
I held my breath subconsciously—thousands of stone statues appeared in the deep pit, including soldiers in armor and knights on stone horses, forming a huge formation in the deep pit in an orderly manner. Each of the phalanxes is lifelike. Although it is not a living thing, it can still make people feel an overwhelming momentum.
Not only that, but in the center of the deep pit, there is also a giant statue of a knight in heavy armor. He half-knelt there with a huge broad sword like a city gate, and the height of standing upright should be more than 15 meters.
After more than ten seconds passed, I was finally able to recover from the shock. I raised my finger and pointed at the giant statue, and asked Islinati, "Can the big statue move?"
"Of course." Islinati flatly affirmed, "Driven by the alchemy circle underneath, it can also act together with other golems as long as it is within the range of the magic power response."
Alchemy circle - if you look closely, there are several criss-cross channels at the bottom of the pit to form a huge magic circle, with a silver liquid flowing inside, probably mercury.
"This is the first time I know that Helgia actually has such a hidden weapon." Arsena looked at the painstaking efforts left by her ancestors with a respectful expression.
"Come down with me, two, I will introduce these golems to you."
Islinati took us down the steps on the wall of the deep pit to the bottom of the deep pit to get close to these statues.
But after a close look, I suddenly found that many statues have obvious stitching marks.
"Many of these statues seem to have been refurbished." I turned my head and looked around.
"Nearly half of the golems here were damaged in the abyss war and then restored." Islinati replied.
"Is there any problem with the quality?" I asked casually.
"Of course not." Islinati clapped her hands on the left shoulder of a soldier statue, "These sculptures were repaired by the dwarves of Beishan Kingdom, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed."
In the end, I don't know if she took the shot too hard. I saw the statue bent its left leg, tilted its shoulders, and then... its head rolled off its neck.

Looking at the falling head of the stone carving, I couldn't help but glared at Islinati: "Hey, the head fell off! Isn't this completely unreliable?"
"No, no, you misunderstood." Islinati reached out and hugged the head, "This was originally designed like this."
"Are you kidding me?" I frowned tightly, completely in disbelief.
"It's true, if you don't believe me, look here."
Islinati showed me the cross-section of the head--the cross-section is very neat, obviously made by cutting, and not only that, there is a hole in it.
"You can take a closer look inside." Islinati handed the head to me.
I peeked in through this hole with one eye, and found that the head of the stone sculpture was hollowed out, and a fist-sized red spar and some cotton bags could be faintly seen embedded in it.
"What are these...?" I asked Islinati in a daze.
"The red spar was commissioned by the sorcerer of Saidian to seal the crystal of the fire spell, and those cloth bags contained the fuel powder prepared by the dwarven technician." Islinati replied blankly.
"That is to say?"
"It's a bomb."
I almost lost my grip on this one.
