Chapter 486: Halfling

"Damn it, this is too abnormal!" Cook cursed secretly, because Cook won the first three endgames, but Cook lost in the fourth game. Cook tried all his means to lure. Persecution, the old man is not fooled.
There are already three contracts in Cook’s arms. Cook took a closer look. They are all lake-like title deeds. Cook also understands that this lake is useless for gecko people. Gecko people like to live in caves. Dry cave.
The water vapor around these lakes is already large, and gecko people don't like it at all, but God often likes to play tricks on people. The neighbours have been greedy for this lake for a long time, but they are not in their own territory, and it is not easy to grab them.
In fact, in the end, Cook understood why the gecko people did not give the lake to the gecko. In fact, he was afraid that the gecko would develop after the lake and the neighbors became stronger and stronger. Then he will have a hard time in the future, so the gecko people are not Will it be such an important resource for the embarrassing person.
After Cook lost a game, he waved his hand quickly, and then pointed to his belly. I didn't know the excitement of the old man, he just wanted to drag Cook to eat, and then continue to fight.
Cook was speechless, but fortunately, the gecko man was at odds with the evil man, so Cook was eventually dragged into the tent by the gecko man.
"Thank you, brother!" The chief gecko raised his glass and said.
"Enen!" After a long time, Cook also understood some of the gecko man's language, and probably understood some of the meaning, but Cook was not ready to speak, but Enen pointed to his throat and waved his hand vigorously.
The meal made Cook eat so much. Cook didn’t understand that this orc’s food was actually better than human’s. Cook decided to see who the gecko man’s cook was. As for the original goal, the God of War Temple The sacred object can only be postponed.
Cook saw what the gecko people were constantly saying excitedly to him. Cook only understood some of the words, so Cook took out his killer's skill and tried to drink.
Wine is an indispensable thing for orcs. Nobles and ordinary people like to drink, but the types of drinks are different. Nobles drink fine wine, pine nuts, rice wine, etc. The common people only drink their own wine, and even fruit wine is divided into many types.
Just like what Cook is drinking now, it is considered the best, not only has a very strong fragrance, but also a moderate sweetness, not at all like the sour fruit wine popular in the Orc Empire market.
Cook's big bowl of toast, drinking at the banquet of the orcs, is a must, as long as you pick up the cup, even if you take a sip, you have to drink until you lie on the ground, this counts, otherwise you just look down on the master.
Of course the guests are also, so the orcs drink very well. The biggest trade that humans have to the orc empire every year is not food or metal weapons, but wine. Corn is the lowest among humans, but in the orc empire, it can be regarded as Good wine.
There are very few rice wine orc empires, all of which are fruit wine, and some are brewed with certain plants. The better people drink in the orc empire, the more capable others think. Of course, this has a lot to do with personal physique.
Cook patted his chest every time he toasted, and then gave the lizard man a thumbs up. This meant praising the gecko man for his uprightness and friendliness, making the gecko man's excited face flushed with excitement and drinking from a big bowl.
"Damn! Ouch." Cook screamed as soon as he walked out of the tent. Cook was not drunk, but his belly was so swollen he couldn't stand it. He felt that his throat was full of fruit wine, and the sound inside his belly was banging when he walked.
The two gecko guards wanted to follow Cook. Cook waved his hand and motioned for a stroll. Cook slowly walked towards a corner of the camp. It was already night at this time, and a large bonfire was lit in the camp.
Cook originally wanted to find the kitchen over there, but he smelled a scent after walking a few steps. When Cook found the kitchen following the smell, Cook was surprised.
"Halflings?" Cook, a race of halflings, has only seen it in magic books. Most of the body of halflings is covered with a layer of hair that is not too thick, on the backs of their hands and feet. The office part is especially obvious. Usually their faces are bare, although there are some halflings with big beards and slightly pointed ears, and they are the most famous gourmets on the mainland.
But halflings like money very much. Halflings have a proverb: "First, dragons, then dwarves, then elves, then humans. Next, it's our world!" They firmly believe that things will be beneficial to them. The direction of development (often the idea of ​​falling pie in the sky), this has become their typical idea-self-confidence, determination, and often petty theft.
But this is not well-known. The most famous is halfling’s food and wine making. Almost no one on the mainland can compare. In the human empire, a halfling chef is simply a status symbol. However, due to the greed of the human aristocracy, The halfling gradually disappeared in the record, and Cook did not expect that there was a halfling here.
But then Cook also realized that human greed forced the halflings away, and the northwest area of ​​the orc empire where the gecko people are located is almost a forbidden area for humans, which may be a place where halflings multiply.
"Hi, buddy, don't come near me!" What made Cook speechless was that the halfling was very alert and timid. Seeing Cook approaching, the halfling who was cooking some soup shouted at Cook with a big spoon.
"I didn't mean anything." What excites Cook is that he actually speaks the language of ancient magic.
The ancient magic language refers to the language that was common to the entire plane before the war between gods and demons. Now two-thirds of mankind’s magic spells are made up of ancient magic languages, as well as some dragon and elves.
"Who are you?" Hearing Cook's answer, the halfling grabbed the kitchen knife beside him and asked vigilantly.
Cook was very depressed, looked around, then walked to the side of the tent, the halfling jumped away vigilantly, and the kitchen knife in his hand pointed at Cook: "Who are you?"
"Shut up, if you don't shut up, I don't mind having a good conversation with you, click!" Cook is holding a thick black iron shelf in his hand. It looks like a pot, obviously. It was used for cooking, but Cook directly picked it up, and then pressed his hands, and the iron frame was twisted directly by Cook with a click. Cook stared at the halfling man and shouted.
"You, you, what are you going to do?" The halflings were very timid, almost without attacking power. Seeing Cook's actions, the halfling asked stutteringly.
"Sit!" Cook pointed to a wooden stump and said a word.
"Kang Dang!" The halfling looked left and right, did not see anyone else, quickly threw the kitchen knife and spoon in his hand on the ground, ran to the stump in front of Cook, his legs trembled, looking at Cook, his teeth It's all right.
"What is this cooking?" Cook asked, stirring the soup in a small iron pot with a spoon.
"Cream mushroom soup!" The halfling quickly replied, looking at Cook with big eyes dodgingly.
"Well, it's okay, what's your name." Cook asked with a taste.
"Hobby!" the halfling replied immediately.
Cook easily asked how Hobbit came here. The halfling lived next to the land where the gecko men lived. The reason why Hobbit came to cook for the gecko men was because the halflings planted wine flowers.
The brewing flower is a legendary thing used for wine making. It is not like the koji used for brewing by humans. However, the fragrance of the brewing flower is very strong. Both beasts and beasts like to eat it. , How much the beast has eaten, and the combat effectiveness of the halfling is really not strong, because the halfling is only about one meter.
So halflings planted wine flowers on a small piece of ground between the cliffs, but halflings can’t climb rock, and gecko men are experts in this area, so gecko men reached an agreement with halflings, and gecko men helped halflings. Picking brewing flowers, while the halfling cooks for the gecko, it looks like an au pair.
"Hobby, would you like to do it with me?" Cook smacked his lips. Cook didn't like the taste of cream, but the creamy mushroom soup here is not bad, so Cook asked after drinking a bowl.
Hobbi was shocked and angry. What was shocked was Cook's strength, and he was angry that Cook ate his own supper, knowing that halflings eat six meals a day.
"First, sir, I..." Hobby didn't dare to refuse Cook.
"Crack!" A stabbing sword emerged from Cook's hand, and the stabbing sword stretched out around Hobby's neck.
"Yes, I do!" Habi quickly agreed.
"Well, it's almost the same, I'll give you one hundred gold coins a month!" Cook felt a little proud when he saw Hobbi's appearance. A carrot and a stick are the best way.
"Gold coins?" Hobby was puzzled when he saw the bag in Cook's hand, and the inside of the bag was still rattling.
"Look, this is your salary for half a year." Cook stuffed the bag directly to Hobby.
"Gold coins, really gold coins, sir!" Hobby was excited. Knowing that halflings love gold coins as much as dragons, Hobby hugged the purse tightly.
"Well, if you can still find your people to do things for me, I will give you 100 gold coins for every one you find. If you find ten, you will get a hundred gold coins for the closing ceremony!" Cook smiled Promised.
"Sir, sir, you give me these ten thousand gold coins, and I do everything." But Hobby's words almost made Cook squirt out the soup in his mouth.
"Can you do a hundred people's work?" Cook stared at Hobbit badly.
Only then did Habi wake up, and then drooped his head and said: "Sir, I can't leave yet, I will continue to work here."
"I'll give you a piece of land to grow wine flowers?" Cook opened his mouth directly.
"But the brewing flower beast likes to eat it." Hobby replied.
"I will send someone to guard." Cook replied, with the wine flower in his hand, and the best wines on the mainland will be his own. When Cook thought of the violence of the drink, he wanted to immediately kidnap all the Hobbits. stand up.
Some people say that Cook’s magic metal mine is not violent? No, the magic metal mine is mined according to the general situation, the profit is not very high, and the output of the magic metal is low, and few people use it. If it is not for the outbreak of war, the price of the magic metal mine may be reduced, which means that the magic metal needs to be watched. Time, but the wine is different, you can sell it anytime, and there is no limit to the quantity.
Take Cook’s magical metal mine, at least half a month’s income of one billion gold coins, but Cook has 20,000 werewolf captives to mine. One werewolf miner is equivalent to five human miners and two dwarf miners. Ten thousand werewolf captives are equivalent to one hundred thousand miners.
A miner needs at least one gold coin every month. This is a high-risk activity. The miner’s expenditure is 200,000 gold coins, as well as engineering bombs for blasting. The consumption of this stuff is at least tens of millions of gold coins, and there are also hired ones. The dwarf engineer, there are also a series of crushing and screening machines, all of which are small heads.
Finally, the magic metal is refined, which is the big head. Therefore, the profit of the magic metal mine is generally between three times, and the output is very small. The wine is different. The customers of the wine are at least billions. The magic metal, but Only millions, this is the gap.
"Damn, damn, there are halflings, come here, come with me!" Phyllis Deman was lazily watching the two bunny barbecues, but immediately shouted loudly, followed by dozens of horns. The Hawk Rider was pulled by Phyllis Deman and flew to the northeast of Mekay.
Cook looked at Hobby with a faint smile. Cook believed that Phyllis Deman, who had already made a fool of his mouth, would allow halflings to migrate without hesitation. Cook patted Hobby on the shoulder and said, "Ha Than, don’t hesitate, come with me!"
"No, first... bang!" Hobby still refused, but before he finished speaking, he saw a fist getting bigger in front of his eyes and then banged.
"Toast and not eat or drink fine wine!" Cook clapped his hands in an angry manner, then Hobby and put it in a bag, and all the things in the tent were put into a space bag by Cook alone.
Cook put Hobbi's pocket on his back, sprinkled some powder on himself, and then ran out of the camp.
The roar of the orcs in the distance, the magical light from time to time, and the huge firelight indicate that the orcs have been fighting with humans for a day. Cook walked through the camp easily. Cook used not only invisible powder, but also a kind of magic. The powder, which can change into the surrounding color, is made from chameleon skins, and it also removes odors. Because some orcs have extremely sensitive sense of smell, Cook has to guard against it.
"Damn it, it, what's going on?" When Cook just arrived at the priest's camp, he saw that the priest's camp was brightly lit. Inside a huge camp, a roar came out, Cook Shocked and quickly hid in another tent.
"How do we know what's going on? Our bears just retreated, and the enemies behind followed suit. Now we don't dare to retreat." Another voice also shouted.
"Not only did you bear the loss, our three royal families also lost two legions." Someone said defensively.
"How did you plan, um, didn't you just retreat if you couldn't attack it? What should we do now, what should we do?" There was noisy inside the camp.
After listening to Cook for a while, he finally understood. It turns out that these orcs were ready to test and retreated if they couldn't attack. But there knew that they had encountered the trolls and ogres led by Cook. These two races were originally very barbaric races. , And Cook promised a reward.
So the scene that caused the orcs to collapse appeared. As long as the orcs attacked the city wall, they were nowhere to be seen. Just about to retreat, a group of people counterattacked, and the orcs counterattacked again. These guys who had just counterattacked immediately retracted back to the city wall, so the orcs did not dare at all. If the order to retreat is given, who will be responsible if the battalion is dispersed.
"How could it be possible, just eight hundred ogres and eight hundred trolls?" Cook was puzzled. There were so many people with him. There were so many people who could fight back against the orcs.
In fact, Cook didn't know that the number of ogres and trolls on the Scarlet Fortress had exceeded 50,000, and they were still increasing. Among them, the Holy See of Light played a big role.
It turned out that after getting the orc empire's violent attack on the Scarlet Fortress, and even after being on the wall for a while, Rose personally took the Vatican knights to the wall. At a glance, he saw the wall guarded by Baghru and the prisoners who were tied together , Rose quickly asked in shock.
This question finally made it clear that it was the guard led by Cook, and it was precisely at this time that Baglu complained that he was too few. Archbishop Rose just said perfunctorily: "If you need it, just say it!"
So Bagru said that he needed to transport more clansmen through the teleportation array. When Rose heard that he immediately decided to communicate with the wizards' union, so the ogres and trolls in the underground world came to the Scarlet Fortress.
As Cook’s reward was announced~EbookFREE.me~ The entire troll family and the ogres boiled for a while. Looking at the orcs, they were like woodlands, so that the human soldiers on the walls were eaten. The human-devil troll was thrown away, and then took a favorable position.
However, the price of the Holy See of Light this time is also very high. After all, the teleportation array needs to consume a lot of magic crystals and cores, but compared to the Scarlet Fortress, the high level of the Holy See can only recognize it.
But a new problem came again. The orcs didn’t catch enough. Some caught one, and some later didn’t. It’s not that the orcs were about to retreat. The ogres and trolls swarmed to catch people, and waited until the orcs counterattacked. At the time, the ogres and trolls quickly retreated.
After going back and forth several times like this, the orcs no longer dared to retreat. If the retreat turned into a rout, it would be no ordinary bad, so the orcs' high-level leaders were making noise here.
"Forget it, you continue, I'll go and see the target." Cook looked at the orc high-level quarrel, slowly retreated, and then wandered around the priest camp, looking for the blood-red drum.
"He's such a big drum, he can't find it?" Cook went back and forth several times, but he didn't find where the blood-red drum was, and Cook couldn't help but get angry.
