129. Changed McKee
One day later, Joel and Elena returned to their original place.
The soft soil has solidified into hard clods, and its reddish-brown appearance maintains the shape it was pinched out yesterday.
"How about it? Let it solidify. I'm going to use it to build houses for them."
Elena didn't make a sound, but crouched down and scraped with her pocket knife, leaving several white marks on it.
Her expression slowly became solemn under the results of the experiment. As the daughter of a duke, her belongings cannot be ordinary.
This dagger was presented to him by his father, and was forged by master forger Blue out of sharp gold and silver. Its greatest feature is its sharpness and penetrating properties. The sharpness of the dagger was then remade by the court magician Setia.
Further improvement. Even if Elena is a priest with unqualified strength, the sharpness of the dagger alone can cause trouble for most monsters.
Now we are encountering trouble on a clod of soil. Doesn't it mean that the clod of soil has a defense comparable to that of a large monster?
"This is the hardness you use to build houses...?"
Elena said in shock, this joke is not funny.
The city wall that the royal city is proud of is protected by earth spirits that claim to be absolutely defensive, but the defense is only at this level.
Using such defensive materials to build for ordinary orcs? It's too luxurious.
But Joel was not embarrassed, and even misunderstood, "Isn't it hard enough?"
Joel tried tapping and easily crushed the small clod of soil.
He used his little paws to dig through the broken clods of soil, and sure enough he made a discovery. There were many small broken particles in the solidified small clods of soil, and the soft soil was not completely solidified. This is why "
The root cause of "fragility" is the uneven distribution of magic power or the wrong proportion of mixed materials. Joel has doubts. It will take time and repeated experiments to get the answer.
However, he finally understood the reason why Elena said that.
"It's definitely not enough." Joel admitted, and pointed out his shortcomings, "It's just a preliminary contact, and it turns out that I'm not proficient enough."
Elena was stunned because what Joel said was exactly the opposite of what she thought.
"I mean that's enough. The orcs don't seem to be your dependents."
Elena felt strange, meaning there was no need to be so nice to them.
There is nothing wrong with it if it is a goblin. He has done some research and found that goblins are the dependents of Yoel, and a dependent is a title that combines the responsibilities of a slave and a knight. They must be loyal to Yoel and provide him with shelter. It is simply
An unscrupulous treaty. The relationship between the orc tribe and Yoel is more like a verbal agreement, nothing more. Otherwise, conflicts and conflicts would not have broken out over Yoel's issue.
Spending "expensive" wealth on such a group of orcs is luxurious and not worth it.
"If they are not dependents, make them dependents." Yoel shrugged, "This is what Silver Dragon King Inte said, don't waste any power that can be a help, they will be wealth."
"With your strength, you should be able to let the orcs make a choice."
Of course, choice must be preceded by compulsion.
Oral agreements have no binding force. Even nobles who pay attention to face and etiquette can easily overturn it in the face of interests. What's more, isn't this kind of thing easier for evil dragons? Who would go out of their way to do it?
What is the dragon required to obey?
"No, no." Joel waved his hands in denial, as if he was resisting.
Elena stared at Joel as if she had discovered a new world. This was the first time he showed this expression of resistance.
"Why?" she asked.
"That would be too shameful. I am a principled silver dragon, and my emphasis is on passively accepting my kin." Yoel said seriously. The goblins surrendered on their own initiative, so he accepted. The orcs just asked for his protection.
To do this, provide him with treasure. This is a transaction, not a surrender. As a principled dragon, Joel will not ask for it.
A matter of principle? She felt that this explanation was inappropriate for the dragon's arrogance. A more suitable explanation would probably be tsundere.
Crassus, who was waiting on the side, thought so. Of course, the powerful Yoel could not condescend to ask the beasts.
There was a sound of flapping wings in the sky, and the hawk-man Dona landed and brought a message.
"Sir Joel, there is someone who wants to see you. He has something you need."
"People?" Joel asked, "...gold coins?"
"It was the guy who escaped last time, a thief, who handed us the weapon. He seemed not to be prepared to resist." Dona explained, and then said vaguely, "As for the gold coins, I don't know much about it. He didn't
It looks like the things you carry are not too many even if you have them.”
Donner only focused on observing whether the guy was carrying weapons. As for the gold coins... that was not within the scope of the investigation.
"Bring him here." Joel was not interested, and without gold coins he had no motivation.
Maybe the thief had some treasure hidden on him, he thought.
Elena was questioning, the guy who escaped last time was a thief, which clearly meant Mikey.
But why did McGee have to come back here after he was out of danger? Let himself be exposed to the field of vision again and face danger.
In fact, there is only one possibility, and that is that he is faced with a situation where he has to come here. But this possibility has countless explanations, and it is impossible to determine based on Elena's current conditions. And what he said he needed was referring to
Is it beneficial or detrimental to Joel? If you think about it with a good idea, it may be a pawn used by humans to defeat the evil dragon.
Dona soon brought Mikey here. Elena looked at Mikey, her expression changed, and the answer may have to be thought in a bad direction.
Compared with the lively and optimistic young man before, McGee's face lost the optimism of the past, and he lowered his head in silence.
"..What did you bring that I need?" Joel asked directly.
"Intruder information," McGee said.
"You can't do this!" Elena couldn't help but reveal her thoughts. No wonder she acted so exaggeratedly. McGee's behavior was simply a traitor to mankind. It directly put tens of thousands of troops in danger.
Judging from the combat prowess you have shown, as long as he has prepared and ambushed in advance, it is not impossible to annihilate an army. Moreover, after knowing the intelligence of humans, judging from the fact that he can withstand the defense of fifth-level super magic,
Other human attack methods are also difficult to have an effect on it.
Elena's performance made both Dona and Crassus frown, obviously dissatisfied with her interference.
"Well...well...you can't do that, it will be meaningless if you say it." Joel felt this way.
This answer stunned Mikey for a moment.
"...The human army has brought the Magic Group. Although you can resist fifth-level magic, it does not mean that you can resist the combined magic of the army."
