lord and his dragon

After Negrim and Abel went out to inform the elves of the situation, there was a burst of cheers, and Sigma was even more grateful. The Elf Queen's complexion looked much better. She walked up to Negrim and bowed solemnly. She bowed and said: "Thank you very much for your helping hand, I swear as the queen of the elves, you will always be a friend of the elves, and whatever you ask, the elves will definitely use the strength of the whole family! "

Negrim bent his lips, and didn't say much, but asked, "After the curse is lifted, how long will it take for the trees here to recover?"

The Elf Queen said: "The water in the pool of life can give birth to all plants, and as long as the elf tree does not die, the pool of life will not be exhausted. When the curse is lifted, we will soon be able to make the trees grow again."

Negrim frowned and said, "The elf tree won't last long."

The elf queen smiled and said: "With the belief of the elves, the elf tree can still live for a long time, please rest assured."

Negrim nodded, and said, "In this case, I will hand over the cursed objects from the centaur tribe to you. We will rush to the orcs and dwarves to collect the cursed objects."

The elf queen sighed slowly, and said softly: "I will hand over the cursed object of the elves to Sigma for safekeeping, and he will escort the three to find the other two clans, and I will leave the rest to you."

Negrim looked at Sigma, and found that the other party had wrapped the Dragon Book in leaves and stuffed it into a messenger bag woven with thin rattan. He was looking at him with piercing eyes, ready to leave at any time.

Negrim nodded, climbed onto Abel's back and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why didn't I see the elf cub here?"

If it were someone else who casually inquired about the whereabouts of the elf cubs, they would definitely be labeled with ulterior motives and need to be on guard. However, because it was Negrim, the Queen still told the truth after slightly changing her expression. Come out: "The cubs mean a lot to us, so we sent someone to protect them and hide them elsewhere."

Negrim nodded upon hearing that, and said, "Keep an eye on them."

Don't get lost again.

Although the elf queen didn't understand why Negrim made such an order, she still complied, and the four of them set off and headed straight for the orc territory.

After they left, the Elf Queen also ordered that all the outstanding members of the Elf clan be picked out and spread out to the northeast to search for the Dragon Book of the Centaur Race in a carpet-like manner. Lift the curse.

The elves took orders to leave one by one, and in the center of the original elves' territory, the crumbling elves tree regained its last trace of greenness after sensing the hope in the elves' hearts, just like what the elves queen said In that way, as long as the elves have faith, the tree of elves will work together with them.

The elf queen stood there, looking into the distance with deep eyes. If it weren't for her status, she would actually like to contribute to lifting the curse, but now it seems that she can only stay here and offer blessings to everyone up.

Another clerk beside the queen came up and said a little strangely: "Although there is no problem, why does Alba care about our cub?"

The elf queen didn't understand the reason either. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "This matter really needs to be taken seriously. Didn't one of the cubs get lost because of the chaos caused by the curse? Although there is no Essai Ya, we didn't expect to ask humans for help... Forget it, let's send a few more people to the cubs, there are few adult elves there, but there are many cubs, it must be difficult to maintain order, and we can't go wrong at this time."

When the clerk heard this, he responded and went down to find someone.

In fact, the cubs don't need more people to take care of them. The situation here is much better than what the queen imagined.

The cubs who should have been frightened and crying after seeing the big change in their homeland were not so confused, because Isaiah, who had gone out to gain some experience, coaxed all the cubs. Although he was also very scared, but The impression of "omnipotence" left by Nigrim in his heart was too deep. He firmly believed that the queen had invited the Lord of Dragons, and his Nigrim would save everyone immediately, and he added fuel to this belief Some indoctrination was given to all cubs.

None of the elves had ever been out of the marginal forest, so they took Isaiah, the only one who had gone out to explore, as the leader, and believed in what he said. Not only did they not cry because they could not go home, but they all waited for Nigger Take them home, and take the opportunity to see how powerful and beautiful humans they are!

Among the adult elves, there are those who don’t like humans and can’t get used to Isaiah bragging about the Lord of Dragons, but when they think of the cubs screaming and screaming after refuting him, they all quiet down and let him go...

Today's Isaiah finished preaching his theory of "Nigg's Invincibility" as usual. He reluctantly took out the last piece of candy from his pocket. After hesitating again and again, he ruthlessly crushed it and fed it into the mouths of his companions one by one. , and then huddled with other elf cubs, eagerly and expectantly looking at the exit of the tree hole where the sun shines.

Nigg, you must come quickly!

Negrim obviously couldn't receive Little Isaiah's expectations from a distance, but they were indeed getting closer to the orcs.

Unlike the centaurs, the orcs will not move around, and their territory is also in a fixed area. Although Sigma may not know the exact location, after a search, he led the other three and successfully found the orc tribe.

Unlike the centaurs and elves, who have undergone tremendous changes, the situation of the orc tribes seems to be doing well. If there is anything wrong, it is probably that the number of orc teams patrolling outside is very small, and they all have the characteristics of herbivores.

"Sure enough, there are problems within them," Sigma said with a frown. "The composition of the orcs is very complicated. They all have their own animal prototypes. Most herbivores are low-level hard workers, and carnivores are selected as fighters." , it is impossible that there is not a carnivorous orc in a patrol team."

Negrim thought of the orc who came to his castle and asked to trade with him, and he probably guessed what kind of problems the orcs are facing now, so he said: "Go and see first, no matter what, get the curse Things will do.”

Sigma nodded, once again confirmed the Dragon Book in his package, and led the crowd out of the woods, heading straight for the patrol.

Just like what Sigma said, these herbivore orcs don't know how to use weapons at all. They struggled for a long time before they managed to point the spears in their hands at Sigma. This team has been wiped out.

Sigma has a general impression of orcs, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said very simply: "I am Sigma, the clerk of the elves, and the elves are cursed just like you, but we have found a way to break the curse. Let's go in and talk to your Beastmaster!"

Those herbivorous orcs couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Sigma's words, but after that, no one showed a happy expression and ran to report, but kept silent and continued to aim their spears at them.

Sigma's eyebrows furrowed immediately, and he suspected that the group of savage orcs didn't understand what he said, and was about to repeat it again, but was stopped by Negrim who was lying on Abel's body.

"It's not that they didn't understand," Negrim said, "It's just that they pretended not to understand, and go in directly. They can't stop us anyway."

Sigma was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't help believing him after meeting Negrim's eyes. Weiss even took the broadsword in his hand without saying a word. As expected, when he walked forward, the group of orcs didn't dare To stop them, they could only remain silent and watch them walk in.

After Sigma entered the tribe, he still couldn't help looking back at the team frequently, and asked strangely: "What's the situation? Is this the curse that the orcs have received? Everyone has become dumb?"

Weiss saw something, and the expression on his face was a bit weird, but Negrim said directly: "In a way, this is indeed the curse of the orcs."

"Everyone says that the orcs are barbaric. I guess apart from their attitude towards other races, it may also be because of their internal relationship. As you said before, this group of herbivorous orcs were the lowest level of the orcs before the curse happened. After that, I got the qualification to become fighters and wield force. The carnivorous orcs who despised them and stepped on them suddenly became weak characters who needed their protection. You think this group of herbivorous orcs would be happy to curse them Cancellation, are everyone's roles switched back?"

Sigma was taken aback, and immediately understood what Negrim meant, but still couldn't understand: "But...but they are their companions! And they don't seem to be as resistant as you said..."

Sigma struggled: "They are willing to let us in anyway."

Weiss couldn't help it, and said: "It's not that they are willing to let us in, it's just that they don't have the courage to fight. The weak are weak after all, and their hearts are not strong enough. Swing even a knife!"

It was rare for Weiss to say such meaningful words, and Negrim couldn't help but glance at him, and found that the other party's eyes were wandering, as if recalling something, so he didn't speak to him, but said: "If the orcs continue to behave like this Go on, the ending you face is actually not much different from your elves, and sooner or later they will all become livestock at the mercy of others."

When Sigma heard this, he immediately understood the horror of the curse facing the orcs.

The four of them walked all the way in. On the way, they met countless herbivorous orcs who dared to show hostile glances at them, and finally grabbed a catwoman who was described as thin. The group of herbivorous orcs were completely different, and they brought them to the Beastmaster's tent excitedly and joyfully.

Seeing that he was finally able to get the cursed object of the orcs, Sigma couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately wanted to go in, but Nigrim said to him: "I have something to say to Abel, you go in and talk to him first, we Come here now."

Sigma and Weiss had no doubts about him, nodded and went in, but Negrim and Abel walked to a hidden place on the side under Catwoman's suspicious eyes.

Abel put him down under Negrim's signal, and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Do you have anything to say?"

Negrim scratched his curly black hair that he had no time to take care of these days, sighed softly, and said, "I'm afraid things are not that simple."

Abel, who was reaching out to help him straighten his hair, froze for a moment and said, "What?"

Negrim glanced at him and said, "Do you remember that orc who came to negotiate with me?"

Abel nodded without hesitation, because the other party wanted to attack Negrim very rudely, so he remembered the orc very well, it seemed to be a wolf-type orc.

Negrim lowered his eyes and said: "At that time, I felt that the situation was wrong. Why did the orcs so recklessly seek human transactions? Now it seems that this is indeed a way they came up with to deal with the curse. The relationship between the orcs and the elves is average. , when they feel that there is a more reliable method, I am afraid they will not trust Sigma and the others so easily."

Abel blinked and said, "So you plan to..."

Negrim glanced at him and said flatly, "Let them only have one path to go."

"Help me comb my hair. If I'm not mistaken, that orc is probably the same vassal of the Beastmaster as Sigma. He must recognize me."

Abel couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said softly: "I understand."

In fact, these days, Abel has not been able to serve Negrim as usual, and his heart is empty. This is an opportunity, and of course he will not let it go.

He stood behind Negrim, took out the leather loops he had prepared before entering the forest, and carefully gathered up Negrim's thick black curly hair one by one, making sure that they were not loosely tied without pulling the other party. Alright, I exposed his delicate face, took out a cloth towel, wet it with drinking water, and carefully wiped the dust on Negrim's face and neck. After a long time, I finally took care of Negrim , so that he has a bit of the lord temperament before entering the forest.

"Are you ready?" Negrim asked, subconsciously wanting to reach out to touch his face.

Abel quickly grabbed his hand, wiped it with a cloth towel, and said, "There is no place to wash the cloth towel here, it's just barely wiped clean, please don't touch it with your hands, there will be marks."

Negrim: "..."

When he was still in the castle, Negrim absolutely never thought that he would be as dirty as he is now. He can only say that the robe he casually wore was black, otherwise he would not be able to bear it visually, and would have returned early. The castle went.

Negrim let out a breath slowly, and said with an ugly face: "If I can't subdue the entire marginal forest this time, I will make this trip in vain."

Abel thought he was cute, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just smiled and said, "If things are really as you said, then Sigma and the others must be in trouble now, waiting for you to save him, or hurry up let's go."

Negrim let out a "hum" from his nose, and while walking out, he commented: "The orc clan also has a big problem, and when things subside, they have to change the way they get along with each other. I don't need so many A people who only stare at people with their eyes."

Abel responded repeatedly, and went back to the Beastmaster's tent with him.

-

After Negrim and Abel left, Sigma and Weiss entered the Beastmaster's Tent.

The Beastmaster is a tiger-shaped orc. When the two came in, they were lazily napping on the blanket. There was another orc on the other side of the tent, probably serving the Beastmaster.

Unlike Catwoman's thin and haggard appearance, the two orcs seemed to be in good condition. Because Sigma had heard Negrim's words before, she now thought of the truth. I'm afraid it wasn't that the orcs were in good condition, but that the orcs were in good condition. The Beastmaster squeezed the resources of the other orcs below, which is how he lived so well.

While thinking about their Queen's approachability, Sigma became more prejudiced against the orcs. Sure enough, they are the most savage race, and the dwarves are probably better than them!

Although Sigma was dissatisfied with the Beastmaster, he was in someone else's territory anyway, so he explained his intentions politely. He originally thought that the Beastmaster would be overjoyed and immediately gave them the cursed object of the Beastmen, but he didn't expect that the other party was just lazy. Shaking the tip of his tail lazily, he said, "No, I refuse."

Sigma was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking he heard it wrong, and said, "What?!"

The Beastmaster said blankly: "I said, I refuse, the Beastmen don't need to cooperate with you to lift the curse."

Sigma stayed for a long time before he said incomprehensibly: "Why?! Don't you believe me? I am the clerk of the elves! Yes, yes, I am with humans, but they are all good humans. You can send someone to the elves to verify everything you said!"

The Beastmaster said lazily, "I didn't doubt your identity, elf, I just don't need and don't want to lift this curse."

When Sigma heard this, his face couldn't help but twisted. If Weiss hadn't reminded him, he probably couldn't help but attack the Beastmaster. The hope of the elves' rescue was in sight, and the Beastmaster of the Beastmen refused to cooperate? !

"Do you know what these curses mean!" Sigma couldn't help but shouted: "The entire marginal forest has been involved, if the curse is not broken—"

"I'm much clearer than you!" The Beastmaster suddenly sat up straight and bared his teeth ferociously at Sigma. The mighty power emanating from him made the orcs beside him tremble, but Sigma gritted his teeth and stood still, looking straight at his terrifying vertical pupils : "I know so much more than you self-righteous guys!"

"That book was made of dragon skin, and the curse power contained in it is far more than what is shown now." The Beastmaster snorted coldly, then slowly lay back on his stomach, and said, "You think you can break it, but you don't You know where to find the incomprehensible human beings, and when you fail to destroy it, you will know its true power. The elf kingdom has turned into a Jedi? Oh, then the entire marginal forest will not even think about surviving a single plant!"

The Beastmaster half-closed his eyes, and said with nothing to do with himself: "The situation faced by our orcs is different from yours. We just can't catch the prey. There is still some meat stored in the past, so we won't starve to death for the time being. The dragon lords of humans agree on the rules of trade, and we can exchange the resources collected by the herbivorous guys with humans for food, and the orcs can still survive as before."

Sigma asked unbearably: "What about the other races?! Do you want to watch the other three races perish?!"

Hearing this, the Beastmaster glanced at him, with a cold and merciless light in his eyes: "What does your life and death have anything to do with us? Didn't the elves never look down on us? It is true that the orcs have never had conflicts with you, but neither Mind taking over the entire Border Forest when you're all dead."

Sigma's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. He finally understood that the orcs had no intention of cooperating at all. Just when he thought about taking advantage of the weakness of the orcs, he simply joined forces with Abel and Weiss to snatch the dragon book of the orcs. At that moment, Negrim walked in with Abel from the outside.

Sigma and Weiss looked back, and both noticed the change in Negrim's momentum. Just when Weiss couldn't help but want to say, "It's Alba's time, why do you still have the time to wash your face and comb your hair?" The other orc inside, however, suddenly changed his face after seeing Negrim and Abel, and ran to the Beastmaster in half panic and half fear, and whispered something very quickly in his ear.

Afterwards, the Beastmaster's face also changed. He looked at Negrim vigilantly, and kept looking at him, trying to find out what it was.

Negrim looked at the orc next to the Beastmaster. Unfortunately, it was the werewolf who went to negotiate with him.

Negrim knew what had happened, but he couldn't show it like this. Instead, he said to Sigma, "I'm back, how's the talk going?"

Sigma glanced at the Beastmaster coldly, and said unabashedly: "He disagrees, saying that he has signed a trade agreement with the Dragon Lord, and there is no need to lift the curse, and the life and death of the other three clans has nothing to do with him."

After finishing speaking, he said bitterly again: "Damn it! It's the damn dragon lord again!"

Negrim: "..."

Negrim and Abel, even the Beastmaster and the werewolf beside him, couldn't help casting unspeakable glances at Sigmar.

Do you know that the person you scolded is speaking for you right in front of you?

Negrim didn't know how many arrows he was hit while lying down, and he was more or less used to it now. After clearing his throat in embarrassment, he said to the Beast King: "I think the Dragon Lord will probably not agree with your idea. .”

When Sigma heard this, he couldn't help but look at Negrim more, thinking how did Alba know that the Dragon Lord would not agree?At the same time, he thought, the stubborn guy like the Beastmaster would probably not be persuaded so easily, and it would be more reliable to do it directly later.

Who knew that just after he finished thinking, the Beastmaster was silent for a while, then nodded with an ugly face, and said, "I think so."

Sigma: "...???"

Didn't you have this attitude just now?
