Ride and Cut

Alpine Fort is a few days away from Cologne, and Sauron made a special trip to it, which can be said to be motivating. But after arriving, they chatted about idle things, without expressing any purpose.

Li Cha felt that he seemed to be extremely bored, so he came out for a walk on a whim. When Sauron was about to leave, the lord finally couldn't help but asked, "My lord, are you really leaving?"

Sauron, who was about to get on his horse, turned his head to look at him, left his entourage and mount and walked towards Richard alone: ​​"Do you think I'm confusing?"

"Not at all, it just seems to be very arbitrary." Li Cha's words were more euphemistic, and he didn't feel embarrassed to directly say that he was inexplicable or crazy.

"Yes, it's very willful, even reckless." Sauron stared blankly at the distant horizon.

"Do you know what an old bastard is?" Sauron patted his chest, and before Li Cha could answer, he explained himself, "Being pinned to death on the chair of the head of the noble garden and unable to move is an old bastard."

"Because I can't go up and down, no one can control me, so as long as I don't go too far, I can do whatever I want."

"I heard that you're developing well and wanted to take a look, so I left a bunch of official business behind and came here. Similarly, I wanted to help the unbelievers, but I felt that I couldn't make a big mistake, so I just helped."

"Come on, this is already a privilege." Li Cha was almost drooling with envy.

Sauron grinned, as if trying to hide his helplessness, but he couldn't help sighing after all.

"It's a privilege, but it's a privilege exclusive to old bastards, why should you be envious." Sauron suddenly tore off his collar, scratched his neck vigorously, leaving bright red scratches.

Born as illegitimate children, Li Cha and Sauron embarked on two completely different paths. Sauron chose to integrate into the family in exchange for support. It must have been smoother in the early stage, but the illegitimate child will never be able to threaten the status of the direct line. In the end, he can only find a position in the family system to settle down.

And Li Cha was forced to choose self-reliance, and the difficulty of starting is undoubtedly many times greater. The advantage is that in the future, he will be free to fly, and he will no longer have to worry about being caught in the net.

"Do you regret that you didn't do it alone?" Li Cha wanted you to resign as the head of the garden, and leave you the position of the leader of the spell-casting team in Gaoshanbao.

"No." Sauron took out the golden snuff bottle from his bosom, lit it up, and then took it back.

"For example, I have a mild allergy to giant beaver brains, but I have severe migraines, so I have to choose between suffering from the allergy or suffering from the migraine."

"When complaining about an itchy neck..." Sauron stretched out his hand and scratched his neck and chest again, "Actually, I also know that I am exempted from more uncomfortable headaches. This is my choice."

…………

Not long after Sauron left, as he said, some trainee knights began to come to Alpine Castle in small groups.

This group of cucumber eggs is obviously the easiest to fool. Hearing the name of Gaoshan Castle from the bard, his blood is already boiling.

I thought that I could see the castle standing on the majestic mountain, and imagined that I would go in and study and grow in the next few years until I was awarded the title of a real knight.

It's a pity that they only found a hill full of grass nests. If it wasn't for the time when the Alpine Fort Guards were out for exercise, they might not have found that there were still people living nearby.

Seeing Li Cha himself made this group of young people quite excited, and the lord learned from them that he still has a nickname among the bards—the Scarlet Ripper. It is said that it is because of the frequent bloody battles, and the methods are extremely violent.

Leaving aside the nickname of this bum, Li Cha was greatly disappointed by the performance of the trainee knights on the martial arts arena.

To put it simply, it can be summed up in one sentence-the foot battle was beaten all over the ground by barbarians, and the horse battle was walked like a dog by the centaur. In less than half an hour, the fighting spirit turned into bruises and swollen faces. In Hurt's words: the advantage is that the slogans are quite powerful, and the disadvantage is that there are no other advantages.

The lord was very tolerant towards his admirers, and he patted each of them on the shoulder to encourage them.

But one of the characteristics of Cucumber Danzi is his thin skin. Maybe he felt that he had no face to stay any longer, and ran away without even saying hello. Presumably, after they return to Cologne, they will use their personal experience to continue to promote the strength of the Alpine Fort warriors.

When Annie led the caravan to Alpine Fort again, it was already more than ten days later.

At that time, Li Cha was enjoying the coolness by the river, holding a clay jug of sweetened milk in his arms, with a straight hollow wheat straw inserted into the mouth of the jug. Qiqiu was sitting on his belly, sucking the straw with his small mouth and sucking vigorously. .

"My lord, Miss Anne is back." Nehru ran into Voya Company while wandering, so he would be the leader of the party.

The caravan stopped in the distance and was busy unloading supplies from the heavy-duty carriages. Only Anne and the cloaked personal attendant came to the lord's side.

There was only one emotion in Annie's eyes, and that was disbelief.

This was her third visit to Alpine Fort, but at this moment, if the contours of the terrain hadn't remained familiar, she almost thought she had gone to the wrong place.

Dozens of tall trees were transplanted from nowhere around the hill, and many children of the local people were chasing and playing in it. Under the trees, wild flowers bloomed everywhere, and an artificial waterway paved with pebbles meandered through it and flowed into the Raging River.

The knee-high reeds by the river were now as high as a person, and the breeze rustled, and several halflings with towels tied on their heads bent over and scurried around in search of bird eggs. From time to time, water birds flapped their wings in surprise, leaving a series of angry chirps and bird dropping bombs.

"Li Cha, the changes in Gaoshanbao are almost beyond my recognition."

"Hmph, isn't it a soil fertilization spell? Anyway, under the utilization of waste, flowers and grass will grow like crazy." Li Cha explained to her in this way.

Annie's second surprise was that she saw a lot of dwarves coming and going, men, women and children, and judging from the calm reactions of the residents of Alpine Castle, it was definitely not the first time that dwarves appeared here.

"The dwarf tribe's warriors are almost lost and can't live. It's a matter of course to join us." The lord scratched his head. "Robbie is also here. This kid was taken by Hurt to stay up late last night to play cards. He may not be up yet."

The wilderness is a place where strength speaks. Today's dwarves have lost this kind of confidence. Coupled with the existence of Qiqiu, it is an inevitable choice to merge into the Alpine Fort.

"I knew there must be a secret agreement between you and the dwarves." Annie couldn't help being a little angry with her hands on her hips.

Obviously, Gao Shanbao and the dwarves could get acquainted because of her, but now she has become the most incompatible party.

"It's not a secret agreement." Li Cha reached out his hand to wipe the milk stains from the corner of Qiqiu's mouth, and forcefully explained, "It was all decided after you left, and it's normal if you don't know."

"Then... what are you doing now?" Annie looked at Li Cha with a more exciting expression, as if she saw a big toad hugging and gnawing on multiple swans.

I can't blame her for making a fuss—at this moment, Li Cha was lying on a large rattan rocking chair, and there were half a dozen bunny-headed and goat-man girls standing behind him, some of them were holding up mats to shade the lord, some were using feather fans to create a breeze, and two of them were standing behind and focused on loosening the boards for him.

The girls of these two races are very delicate and cute in stature and appearance, and their respective racial characteristics add to their charm. Yingying and Yanyan are crowded together, and the fragrance of flowers and birds are almost inferior to each other.
