As the stone door slowly opened, two figures who were fighting appeared together with the rows of black gun mounts. A woman in soft armor and a strange-looking rat man were fighting fiercely.
The woman had obvious traces of elven blood. Her movements were flexible, and the magic pattern sword in her hand was glowing with light. The shelf behind her was artificially moved away, revealing a small cave.
The rat-man was even more strange in appearance and uncoordinated in his movements, but his skill was indeed much higher than that of the woman, and he could be said to have suppressed her throughout the fight.
"Hurry up and help!" the half-elf said. "I am a knight who escaped from the orcs. I accidentally fell into this hole. This beast has a secret. Help me capture it!"
The elf was holding a magic-patterned rapier in his hand and was retreating while fighting the rat-man. His eyes glanced at Lant from time to time. Suddenly, the rat-man rushed towards her with the help of the stand next to her. She could only move forward bravely. Stab away.
Just a second before the rat paw was about to approach the elf, a strong wind hit, and the rat man was blown away. When he fell to the ground, the rat fur was already covered with ice.
"Huh!" The half-elf stared at the miserable appearance of the big rat and was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Before she could speak, she heard the tall knight at the door say: "Madam, can you tell me, there should be goblins here who can only draw magic patterns on these fire...alchemy tools. Have you seen it?"
"Ah..." At this moment, the half-elf Guanna felt disgusted in her heart: What does this person mean? When he saw me, he didn't ask his name, didn't ask if he was injured, and didn't even care about the reason for the fight. He just asked a goblin?
"Ma'am? Have you seen that goblin here?"
"Are you talking about the one on the ground?" Guan Na pointed to the corpse of the hobgoblin on the ground. There was also a robe belonging to the mage on the corpse.
"Really?" Lant stepped on the goblin's forearm with his foot, and lightly ground the goblin's hand forward with his boots. He took a look at the goblin's right hand. Although that hand was also full of mud, there was no trace of the magic circle at all. There are traces.
"This knight? I am Guanna, a half-elf knight from a local family. I ran here because I wanted to escape from the slavery of the orcs." Guanna had no choice but to speak to Lant as politely as possible, "Your family still has Do you need a family knight? Or can you bring me to the empire?"
Rant's attention is now focused on the shelves full of goblin cannons. Although these cannons have different calibers and slightly different magic patterns on the cannons, there is no doubt that they are all mass-produced.
"It's unbelievable. How many years has it been? The magic pattern on it is still effective!" Lant kept stroking the cannon body and kept praising it. He didn't pay attention to the half-elf on the side, and then even ran to He hovered next to the cannon in mid-air and looked at the magic circle under the cannon body to maintain its suspension.
Rant's eager eyes towards these cold equipment completely put the half-elf on the side into an awkward situation. She looked at Rant, whose eyes were full of elf cannons, then at the fire behind him, and then at the big giant at her feet. Rat Man, but saw that Rat Man was also looking at Lant eagerly.
"This knight?" Half-elf Guanna asked quietly again.
Lant's long non-response even made Lie Huo unable to hold it in any longer, so he took the initiative and said, "Lant, that female elf is calling you!"
Liehuo opened his mouth to speak, surprising Guanna and Rat Man at the same time.
"Ah? Call me?" Only then did Lant react. He became an intermediate knight and a palace viscount on the same day. People in the territory, some people call him lord, your majesty, lord, leader, or just call him by his name. Lant, no one has ever called him a knight, so he is very insensitive to this word.
"Lant... Sir!" Guanna didn't know what level a talking monster was as a mount, but based on her very vague impression, she guessed that this person in front of her was a big shot. "I am a wandering knight from the local area. You Does your territory need family knights?"
"Hmm... are you familiar with the Hindukel Basin?" Lant asked tentatively, "Have you been to all three cities?"
"Xing...du..." Guanna tried to express the word Hindukel with accurate pronunciation, but failed. This place name comes from the local orcs, which means "killing towards the plains", and its pronunciation is unique to the orcs. syllables.
Before going to the basin, Lant specifically found the orcs to learn the local language. He barely passed the test while walking in the basin, but he was recognized by many people.
However, the so-called local wandering knight in front of him didn't even know the local language. Even Guanna didn't know that "Hindu Ker" refers to the local area, and the three capitals refer to the three city-states of wealth, life, and fertility.
Guanna still didn't pronounce the correct pronunciation of "Hindu Ker", and her face was a little confused.
"I can take you back to the Human Empire, but I still want to know. Originally there should be a goblin here who can repair the magic patterns on these gun barrels. It is definitely not the one you pointed out to me. Where is it?"
"Well..." Guanna knew that the goblin that Lant called was actually the frozen rat-man under her feet. Guanna also didn't know why a rat-man was in the group of goblins and helped the goblins fight against the rats. Human, but this rat man can indeed repair the magic pattern on the barrel, and he also knows the tactics of the rat swarm very well.
"Sir, when I came in, it was already like this. I've only seen the hobgoblin and the rat men here, but I haven't seen anything else." Guan Na adjusted her tone as much as possible and raised her head. He lowered his head but kept looking at Lant, looking pitiful.
"I remember you just said that there was something weird about that rat?" Lant glanced at the rat man on the ground and didn't pay special attention to it.
"Well..." Guan Na remembered the lines she had agreed with before and quickly said, "Yes, sir, this rat man is probably very familiar with this place and may know the situation here."
"Ha, a mouse can understand things about goblins?" Lant said with a smile, "Is it possible that with his size, he can enter those underground pipes and follow the pipes all the way to the goblin's territory?"
The female knight Guanna was left speechless by the question. It seemed that as long as Lant pressed a few more questions, she would not be able to hold on.
But Lant did not continue to ask, making sure that he could not get more information from her and not make things more difficult for her. He just said lightly: "Ms. Guanna, the current situation is that it is safe outside. I plan to return to the Human Empire tomorrow. Are you going to come with me or go back to your tribe?"
"Tribe?" Guan Na frowned again, "I..."
"If you have your own tribe in the big forest, I can send you back, or if you have human nobles you know in the empire, I can also take you there..." Lant did not continue to ask, because the half-elf always In a dazed state.
"In that case, you can rest for a night and think about it, and we'll talk tomorrow."
