lord and his dragon

When there are large animal corpses nearby, it also means that there may be quite powerful predators nearby, but no matter how powerful the predator is, they cannot cause any harm to their team. Negrim originally thought that everyone would be like the previous few When Tian found the body, he went around, but he didn't expect that both Abel and Sigma decided to investigate.

"The smell of blood is strange," Abel whispered to Negrim, "There is an ominous feeling."

"An unknown feeling?"

Negrim didn't quite know what kind of feeling this was like, and Abel couldn't describe it. He could only tell Negrim that it was his intuition. A strong person generally has a very keen intuition, let alone a What Abel said, of course Negrim chose to believe him.

Negrim looked at Sigma's face again, and found that the elves seemed to be very nervous, and because they knew more information than them, they seemed to be worried about something. Sigma, who didn't want to pay more attention to him and Abel, even glanced at him, not because he noticed his gaze and looked at him, but because he needed something for Negrim, he gave him a certain glance.

And this glance made Negrim instantly understand what happened, and even guessed who the corpse might belong to.

Negrim thought for a while, but didn't speak.

A group of four started to move towards the place that smelled of blood and putrefaction. Sigma and Abel noticed the smell of the corpse from a long distance away, but Weiss wrinkled his face after advancing for a while, complaining and asking himself. Said: "My God, this smell is so strange, is this the smell of a corpse? Yes, that's right, but why is there such a strange feeling?"

At this time, Negrim couldn't smell the smell they mentioned at all, and he didn't have any ominous or strange premonitions. After they walked for nearly half an hour, Negrim could barely smell a trace of blood.

The corpse had been dead for a while, and the smell of blood had begun to fade, and the smell of decay lingered in it. Negrim didn't often come into contact with this smell, but he could still distinguish a trace of it from the animal corpses he had smelled before. breath.

There's a burnt smell, but you can tell it's not really the smell of something burnt, and there's an indescribably weird, fishy-sweet smell that's really unsettling when mixed with normal corpse smells.

If Negrim is the dullest of the four, Sigma is the most sensitive. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and Weiss was also very anxious. Only Abel didn't seem to have much reaction , just frowning.

Negrim speculated that the reactions of the crowd might have something to do with their race besides their strength, not to mention the elves and humans, and Abel——if one giant dragon is to feel threatened, at least the other is needed. The corpse of the dragon will do.

After walking for another 10 minutes, until Negrim could clearly smell the smell, they finally found the source of the smell.

"Ah!" Weiss yelled, his face turned pale: "Why is there a dead body here?!"

This is a small open space, covered by dense vegetation. In the center of the open space lay the corpse of a centaur. His internal organs were all hollowed out by the monsters, and he died here in an extremely miserable manner.

——Everything is as Negrim expected.

Sigma's sight at the time clearly showed that he thought Negrim would be used next, and ordinary monsters could not speak, so the target was an intelligent race, and Negrim didn't think the corpses of orcs and dwarves would make Sigma With such an expression, not to mention that they are in the northeast of the marginal forest, which is the territory of the centaur tribe, then it can only be the corpse of a centaur.

The corpses of the centaurs smelled weird, and as a resident of the Border Forest, Sigma must have known something, so he smelled it immediately.

At the same time, this centaur corpse also proved another speculation of Negrim, that the elves and orcs were indeed not the only ones who had accidents in the group, and the entire marginal forest was probably involved!

Apparently, Sigma thought the same way. He gritted his teeth tightly, the veins on his forehead were about to pop out, and said in his mouth: "The corpses of centaurs should not appear here, even if they really encounter an invincible and powerful force!" Warcraft should also take away the corpses after the enemy leaves, they have always been very fancy about the corpses of their companions, and they will never let wild beasts eat them like this."

Abel closed his eyes and sensed it, and said, "There are no powerful monsters nearby."

So the centaurs didn't come back because the enemy didn't go far, but they did abandon their companions.

The weirdness of this incident is almost the same as that of the elves who value their cubs losing their cubs!

Weiss was stunned, completely unable to figure out what was going on, holding his head and shouting, "What the hell happened!"

After all, the elves and the centaurs were in the same situation. Sigma was the one who wanted to know what happened the most, and he was the first to react. He looked at Negrim with piercing eyes and said, "Alba, you can make the corpse talk right. Bar?"

Negrim wanted so badly to say I couldn't, but he took advantage of this status to join the team, so he had to do something.

Abel was obviously more nervous than Negrim, and he didn't expect that when the corpse needed to speak after entering the forest, he couldn't help tightening his hand around Negrim.

Negrim sensed his emotions and patted him on the shoulder lightly, comfortingly. Although Abel was puzzled, he still put him down.

While supporting Negrim to stand on the ground, the two looked at each other. Abel's lips squirmed, and he said in a barely audible voice: "Why don't I become a dragon now and trample the corpses... "

Negrim: "..."

You don't have to.

Even if they are cheated, Weiss and Sigma can't do anything to them, not to mention that the corpses of the centaurs still carry clues that Negrim wants.

Negrim shook his head at Abel, leaning on his cane, and walked towards the corpse in a nonchalant manner. Abel frowned worriedly, and quickly followed.

Weiss and Sigma didn't know what they were doing, and they were afraid that they would disturb Negrim if they stepped forward, so they just stood and watched from a distance.

The centaur should have been dead for a while, and there were traces of being eaten by monsters on his body. His hind legs and two hands were stretched out straight, his front legs were in a kneeling position, and half of his neck was bitten off. Ferocious, large and small tooth marks were engraved on his muscles and exposed bones. There was nothing left of the upper part of the soft human body, the horse-shaped abdomen was hollowed out, and the large muscles of the legs were also eaten A small part was lost.

Negrim frowned and observed without saying a word, but Abel was a little anxious. He was worried that Negrim would be exposed, and he felt that his master should not face such a bloody scene. There was nothing to do about this situation, but to stay next to Negrim helplessly.

After a long time, Abel asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Negrim finally looked back and glanced at him.

Negrim was indeed very uncomfortable with the hideous and terrifying corpse in front of him. The last time he faced this kind of tragedy was four years ago when Abel turned into a giant dragon for the first time. However, seeing Abel's jewel-like green eyes, Negrim's spirit gradually relaxed.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Help me up."

Abel froze for a moment, then immediately stretched out his hand to help Negrim stand upright, followed behind him, and walked towards Weiss and Sigma who were confused.

Seeing Negrim come back, Sigma asked anxiously, "How? Can you make him talk?!"

Negrim glanced at him and said slowly, "He has already told me everything."

Everyone, including Abel, was stunned. For a long time, Weiss stammered: "But I didn't hear..."

Negrim said expressionlessly, "If you could hear it, you would be a corpse whisperer too."

This is true, Weiss showed a suddenly realized expression.

Sigma didn't care so much, just asked: "Then did he tell you what happened?"

Negrim said, "He said he died here voluntarily."

"What?!" All three of them whispered.

Voluntary death?This is too strange!

Weiss seemed to be very afraid of this weird situation, with a nervous expression on his face, he leaned over to Negrim and whispered: "Alba, it doesn't matter if he can't respond to you, we don't have to make up such terrible nonsense, Unreliable things like magic will always fail, we won't blame you!"

Weiss' words made Negrim look at him strangely, and said, "I'm not making up nonsense, he did die voluntarily."

Negrim thought for a while, took the three of them and walked two steps towards the centaur's corpse, pointed to his corpse and said, "I can't let you hear the corpse's words, but if you don't believe me, you can take a look .”

"The body of a living creature will become stiff after death. This centaur's front legs are bent, but there is no dislocation caused by the body being forcibly pressed down on the joints. The hands are stretched out straight, but there is no fighting posture at all, and the surroundings are not even visible. The weapon or wreckage he was carrying."

"He did kneel voluntarily and meet death."

Except for the admiration of Abel who knew the truth, the expressions on the faces of Weiss and Sigma were very reluctant. Obviously, they rationally believed that what Negrim said was right, but they were not willing to believe it psychologically. I also want to find an excuse to refute him.

After all, Negrim's "casting" actions are different from the corpse whisperers they imagined. Coupled with their instincts to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, it is natural to have doubts.

Negrim also didn't ask them to believe him right away, because he was not a corpse whisperer in the first place, so it was fine if he could get this matter out of the way, so he thought for a while and said, "Being able to kill people and horses in battle The size of a monster of this intelligent race will never be too small. There are various tooth marks on this body, but none of them can be called a huge tooth mark, and his body is like so many in the forest. The food of the monsters is quite intact, that is to say, not only during his lifetime, but even after his death, no monsters with a very large size and appetite came here."

When Sigma heard this, he immediately went forward to check it out, and found that it was indeed the case, and no matter how hard he screened in his mind, he couldn't find any monsters in the marginal forest that were small enough to kill horses.

Sigma frowned tightly.

Alba was right, the centaur did die here voluntarily.

As an elf who also loves nature, Sigma can more or less understand the thoughts of some centaurs. This centaur should also want to return to nature, so he chooses to die like this-but why does he have to die?Why did his companions ignore his body?

Sigma also asked his own question.

Although Negrim didn't know the answers to these two questions, he knew how to deal with it. He took a deep look at Sigma and said meaningfully: "What happened to the centaurs, you should be better than us." clear."

Hearing this, Sigma's scalp tightened immediately. He felt that the corpse whisperer in front of him had already learned something from the centaur corpse, not only the internal situation of the centaur tribe, but the centaur tribe who is good at divination might have told him about the situation of the elves!

Sigma's expression became very ugly in an instant, and Negrim also guessed his thoughts, but he had no intention of stimulating the elf now, so he added seemingly unintentionally: "After all, you are also a resident of the marginal forest. They must know more about the Centaurs than we do."

Weiss didn't understand the hidden meaning in the two paragraphs of Negrim's words at all, so he foolishly believed it, and even went to ask Sigma what he knew, but Sigma thought that Negrim didn't have any malicious intentions, or at least he didn't want to send the elves away. After speaking out about the situation, he calmed down temporarily after glancing at him.

But even so, his face was still not very good-looking. When Weiss approached him and asked him about the situation of the centaur tribe, he was also absent-minded and didn't have the energy to answer the other party.

Weiss and Sigma were not paying attention here, so Abel heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Negrim with a pair of shining green eyes, full of admiration and love, and leaned into his ear and said, "You really are It’s amazing that you can see so much information.”

Negrim was a little happy with his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face, but said indifferently: "It's not a difficult task, but the situation in the marginal forest is much more serious than we imagined. "

"Orcs, elves, and centaurs are all involved, and the dwarves probably won't be able to escape this incident."

But from another point of view, if these things can be resolved at once, it can also save Negrim a lot of effort. He doesn't have to spend so long to slowly rectify those forces like Gaydon. Being able to have a good relationship with the four most powerful races in the marginal forest is basically equivalent to conquering the entire marginal forest.

"It's a bit difficult," Negrim commented very inflatedly, "but it's not a big problem."
