"Downton, I'm ready to give up walnuts!" After a long silence, Homer suddenly spoke, but everyone could tell it was a joke.
"You must not let this stupid uncle with no brains follow you, otherwise Hutao will be even stupider." The cheap god was laughing to death, but the world of children is so simple, and adults think it is childish, because they can no longer dream.
!
The guards were indeed elites with royal titles. Even though the middle-aged man looked like an idiot, they still did not let down their guard.
"Your name is Tanan?" The guard captain looked at the uncle in shock and looked at him carefully, "Are you a barbarian?"
Because of their expectations for their children's future, parents often give them the same name as an epic hero.
The king of the barbarians is called Tanan, so there are more "Tanan" in the barbarian clan. This is not because of the expectations of the parents, but because this clan has almost no literacy and no knowledge inheritance. Even if they want to use the word's meaning to be gorgeous,
A name with rich connotations cannot be achieved.
The era of barbarians was established and annihilated too early. Now they have moved to the far north and have withdrawn from the center of the continent. Therefore, the status of their race is now even worse than that of the orcs.
A race in which more than 90% of its members cannot even count to ten, no matter how hard they try, they will not be looked down upon by others, so except for barbarians, no one will use the name Tanan, which is full of barbarian style.
"Can't you see my braids and tattoos?"
Uncle Tanan patted his shoulder, which had an abstract battle ax totem on it.
"Which tribe are you from?" Hutao poked Tanan's arm and asked curiously, "Downton has a barbarian regiment with over a thousand people under his command. The leader is Schwarzenegger. He is very powerful."
Tanan glanced at Downton with some surprise, because of the existence of racial discrimination and slave trade. Barbarians are very hostile and xenophobic to other races. This human can gain the allegiance of a barbarian tribe. It seems that his character is okay.
"Hey, a totem painted with animal blood is not a tattoo. What is it to show off?" The captain of the guard has a good eye. When he saw Tanan's tattoo, he knew that it was painted on. He couldn't help but ridicule, a race that specializes in producing gladiators.
There is actually a chef. It seems that this guy is really a coward.
Twilight looked at the tattoo carefully, thoughtfully.
In less than an hour, Hu Tao and Tanan got to know each other well, and then the two of them started running around all over the fields, either digging for wild vegetables or hunting, chasing underground beasts like wolves and pigs.
There were bone dragons and sky rays following them. Downton wasn't worried either.
In fact, Tanan did not lie. When the rocky Hobbit City appeared in everyone's sight, the barbarian uncle had already rushed out and greeted the dwarf guards familiarly.
"These people are my friends. Can you charge less for entering the city?"
Tanan took two white radishes and prepared to bribe the guards, but after thinking about it, he was reluctant to part with them. He broke them open with brute force and stuffed half of them into the hands of the guards. "Next time we meet, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Next time again? You owe us a hundred meals. It's a good thing you're still the chef." The dwarf guard was not polite. He gathered around the bamboo basket in the south of the tower and rummaged through it, picking up the game he liked.
Into the arms.
Tanan was not angry either, and everyone could see that they actually had a good relationship.
Naturally, someone took care of the matter of entering the city. Downton rode on the back of the Green Goblin and looked around the city.
The most indispensable thing underground is all kinds of stones, so the building in front of you looks like a huge stone mountain. Because it belongs to the territory of the dwarves, a large amount of steel is mixed in some key parts as a skeleton to enhance the defense.
.
The dwarves who are good at mining, forging, and smelting possess the most metal. So seeing that the two huge city gates were actually made of black rock metal, a group of surface people wanted to snatch them away immediately, and then sent them to the blacksmith shop to be melted down to make armor and weapons.
This is the first city that humans come into contact with after entering the underground world. It seems to be to show the strength of the dark race and make these outsiders on the surface stop coveting it, so it was built to be extremely huge and vast. Downton made an estimate.
, this guy is not much less than the royal capital of Frankfurt.
Stepping into the city gate, the shouts full of foreign accents came like a tsunami, and a large number of hobbits filled every corner of the field of vision.
This is a peaceful race by nature. They like to grow vegetables, cook, and hold banquets. If there is a conflict between them, it is not a duel, but getting into the kitchen to compete with who can eat more.
.
By the way, hobbits eat six meals a day, and every one of them has pockets full of snacks.
You can never starve a hobbit to death, this is the most famous proverb in the West.
"So small!"
Hutao stretched out her hand and gestured, then danced the hula happily. After so long, she finally found a guy shorter than her.
Hobbits are generally about one meter tall, and their most distinctive feature is a pair of oversized feet covered with hair.
Having a pair of big feet is the most beautiful symbol, so they never wear shoes, and they soak their feet carefully and trim their leg hair every day.
"People on the surface always think that all people living underground are dangerous races, so the dwarves moved the hobbits here. Living in such a city will make the people on the surface feel more at ease."
Tanan explained casually that after greeting a boss, he took away a pair of shoes from his stall while he was not paying attention.
The boss didn't suffer any loss and took away the fattest rabbit in the bamboo basket in Tanan.
"By the way, if you want to gain the friendship of hobbits, just praise their big feet and treat them to a few delicious meals."
Tanan imparted his experience, but everyone had no intention of staying here for a long time. To be honest, looking at the hobbits walking around with their black leg hair exposed, everyone did not vomit in disgust, which was already a great honor.
"I want to sell shoes. There should be hundreds of thousands of hobbits here, right? If one person buys a pair, I will definitely become a rich man!"
Hu Tao suddenly put his hands on his hips and raised his chin proudly, waiting to be praised by everyone.
"Stop dreaming. The last person on the surface who did this lost all his underwear and was dragged into the lair by a giant cave bear and had his anus exploded." Tanan immediately slapped him in the head, "Letting hobbits wear shoes is the greatest insult to them."
Hutao's head suddenly drooped.
"Princess Sissi is going to stay at the Tulip Hotel. She invites you to come with her, and all the expenses will be borne by us." Rena came to invite her personally, which can be said to have given Downton a lot of face.
"No, we can afford it."
Downton refused. The security facilities of the big hotel must be perfect. He has offended many people now. It is better to stay in a big hotel to have a peaceful sleep.
"Please!"
Lena also wanted to save face and would not stalk her. Otherwise, if she spoke out, the dignity of the Bavarian royal family would be lost.
"Let's rest for two days and then go to Warhammer Castle after we figure out the situation."
This city is a distribution center for goods, and general trade is conducted here. However, Downton’s goal is the tomb of the holy coffin, so he must continue to move forward. Naturally, the danger index will also rise sharply.
"I'm leaving!"
Twilight frowned slightly.
"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"
Downton had long noticed something strange about Twilight. The girl was always in a hurry, like a clock that was wound up and would never stop.
"Um!"
Twilight didn't mince words.
"Then don't rush. Haven't you heard that sharpening the sword will not waste time chopping wood? Without intelligence, you may take many detours."
Downton urged, "Let's do this. Take a day off!"
"You don't have to worry about me."
"We are all companions, you say that. It's too foreign." Downton interrupted Twilight, showing an expression of advancing and retreating together.
"Stay!"
Walnut took Twilight's hand and shook it, like a kitten begging for food.
"All right!"
Twilight touched Hutao's head and chuckled.
Downton felt relieved, and gave a thumbs up to the little Lolita where Twilight couldn't see him. Twilight is such a genius, if he lets her go, it would definitely be the stupidest behavior, even if he can't win him over
The camp should also deepen its relationship as soon as possible.
Charlotte rolled her eyes at Downton and urged, "Let's go quickly, my research has been delayed for several days."
"Have you noticed? How many people are spying on us?"
Su Ya's eyes moved around and found many suspicious characters.
"As long as they dare to come, they will all be killed."
Hu Tao doesn't care at all.
"How about we change our residence to a place that is easy to be attacked? How about killing the attacker and dividing the spoils equally?" Su Ya licked his lips. He was here to make a fortune and was not afraid of death at all.
"No, I don't want to waste energy on that garbage."
Downton refused.
Because of the intensive commerce and trade, the whole city is showing a strange kind of prosperity, as if there is a smell of gold coins flowing in the air.
A group of dark elves led a large number of captured slaves to the market for sale. Pedestrians on the road avoided this group, not wanting to provoke these guys who believed in the goddess Rose and belonged to the orderly evil camp.
The humans cast greedy eyes and wanted to take one back immediately, but no one dared to touch it. After all, this was the territory of the dwarves. Once they did, even if they were not executed immediately by the security team, they would be expelled permanently.
"Look, it's the tauren chief!"
Hu Tao tugged on Downton's sleeve.
He was the chief who led a group of tauren warriors and wanted to go underground to make a fortune. He had narrowly escaped being poisoned by the devil's potion before, but fell into the hands of the dark elves.
"Downton, save me!"
Seeing Downton, the tauren seemed to have seen the great savior. He rushed a few steps with brute force and shouted for help. The iron chains on his wrists and ankles made a huge splash.
"Quiet!"
Several dark elves immediately rushed over and slapped him on the head and face with whips.
There are barbs on the whip, and the drow use it with great force. Once the whip is struck, a large piece of flesh will be scraped off.
Screams started immediately.
"Human, get out of here, he is our slave."
Captain Drow glared at Downton with a threatening look.
"Drow, pay attention to your tone, I don't mind unscrewing your head." Downton glanced at the chest of the elf in front of him. He was wearing a tight-fitting, low-cut leather armor, which made her full breasts more eye-catching.
This is not for the drow to show off, but to distract the enemy during the battle. Once the attention is drawn away, just wait to be killed by the scimitar owl.
"As expected of a dark elf in a matriarchal society."
Xia Luo lamented that the people who led the team and gave orders were all female drow, and the status of male warriors was so low that they would get slapped in the face even if they raised their opinions.
Listening to Downton's pure dark elf language, the drow were stunned for a moment, then glared angrily, and some of the grumpy ones had already drawn their scimitars.
These slaves were either mercenaries or adventurers. They were all in trouble after being attacked by drow. Now that they saw Downton and them, they all saw a chance of survival and immediately shouted for help.
"Shut up!"
The drow's whips struck harder.
"A bunch of trash, they can't even control the prisoners!"
The female drow cursed, kicked several male drow away, then pulled out her scimitar and slashed at the slave's body.
Puff puff!
Watching helplessly as the female drow hacked five slaves to death, with blood all over her body like a female murderer, the other slaves were so frightened that they shut their mouths.
"If anyone screams again, they will all be executed." The female drow turned her head and glanced at Downton, then pointed at the chief, "Make a price and I'll sell it to you!"
Downton frowned. He and this guy had nothing to do with each other, and he had even been scolded. Why should he save him?
"It turns out you are a poor man, so get out of here."
The female drow spat.
"We bought one million gold coins!"
Hu Tao was most angry that others were looking down on Downton, so she immediately quoted a sky-high price, causing exclamations from all around.
"The price is good, but unfortunately, I...don't...sell it!"
After the female drow finished speaking word by word, she raised her scimitar and cut off one of the chief's arms, and then chopped the tauren into human beings one by one.
Hutao was very angry and wanted to beat him up, but Tanan stopped him, "This guy is hopeless. Besides, it's not worth having a conflict with the drows of the Dis family over him."
"What is the Dis family, are they so powerful?"
Hutao pouted in dissatisfaction.
"The fourth-ranked family in Menzoberranzan is powerful enough to flatten this city. Do you think it's powerful?" Tanan gestured to Hutao to look at the dwarf guards.
These security soldiers riding lizards had arrived a long time ago. When they saw that they were drows from the Dis family, they immediately became silent and took a bystander attitude.
The Dis family is an outright war party, advocating driving all surface races out of the underground.
Carrots and sticks are the only rules for the survival of the dwarves. They want to get greater benefits, but they don't want the surface people to become bigger, so it is natural to let these hawk elves make trouble.
After chopping the tauren to death, the female drow kicked the bloody head in front of Downton and walked away.
"Hello!"
Downton shouted.
"Cowardly surface people, what do you want to do?" The female drow licked her scarlet lips and tightened her grip on the hilt of the knife, "Want to duel?"
Downton raised his middle finger and said, "Just wait, I will definitely throw you into the orc tribe area and make you a slave for the rest of your life!"
"I'll wait!" The female drow smiled ferociously, "I still need a male favorite. I think you look good, but I don't know how many days you can let me enjoy you?"
The female drow have important matters, otherwise they would have taken action long ago, but the underground is their home field, and these humans are just fish and meat on the chopping board, just to be eaten at another time. (To be continued...)
