Lord Highlander

   Chapter 508 507. Taking advantage of the night

  There is only a dark sunset glow in the mountains, and a few stars are lit up in the night sky.

  The last rock sparrow also got into the nest of the mountain cliff.

  The village of Wall hidden in the ravine lit up a little spark.

  The kobold slaves returned from the river embankment to the shed at the entrance of the village, dragging their exhausted bodies, and silently lined up in a long line, holding a large wooden bowl in their hands to receive tonight's multigrain porridge from the cook.

   This may be a rare time for them to relax during the day. After dinner, they can lie down in the shed covered with reed mats and sleep until dawn.

The multigrain porridge in the big wooden barrel looked very thick. In order to feed the kobold slaves, the simple cook of Woer cooked the multigrain porridge mixed with a lot of wheat bran and beans until it became soft. According to the orders of the kobold slaves, the slaves of the kobolds dug the river and reclaimed the tidal flats in the river bends. As long as it was for the village of Wall, the cook in the village must do the logistics well.

  The several supervisors in the village who are responsible for guarding these kobolds, most of them will eat a big pot of rice in the slave camp before returning home slowly.

  Although the food at home is better than that in the slave camp, who hasn’t suffered from poverty? During the famine, sometimes everyone’s food was not as good as these dog days. Now the living conditions are a little bit better, but no one has forgotten the hard days before. The big pot of food in the slave camp is not bad. If you are full here, you will save the meal at home.

This group of kobold slaves saw that the overseers who guarded them all day were also fishing for food in the same pot with everyone. During the day on the river construction site, although these overseers were wandering around with whips, the whips really fell on their compatriots. Occasionally, when you are tired, you are allowed to rest for a while on the **** of the river embankment. When you have no strength, you will occasionally see supervisors catching up from behind, thinking that you will be whipped, but when you wait Instead, a pair of rough hands stretched out to drag the stone slabs, and walked the most difficult section of the embankment road.

A crescent moon hangs on a dead tree branch at the entrance of the village. After dinner, the kobolds are allowed to take a cold bath by the most downstream river and stream, and then lie down in the shed moaning. There is no dog head People are willing to break this easy life.

   Even some kobolds lying in the shed will feel that this kind of slave life is actually not bad except for the lack of freedom!

  …

The two rebels were imprisoned in a wooden cage next to the work shed. Luke was in charge of guarding the two rebels at night. When he saw dinner starting at the slave camp, he silently brought two bowls of porridge from there and put them in the cage. In a wooden cage.

   Then he held a white wax spear, sat obediently three meters away from the wooden cage, and stared at the two rebels with wide eyes.

The two rebels were beaten up by Suldak and Gulitum, and they all suffered injuries of varying degrees. The bruises on their faces silently showed their disgraceful achievements, lying on the horse's back like a sack On the back, the bile in the stomach almost came out all the way, and at this time there was a gurgling sound in the stomach.

  Luke and Charlie are the best of the young generation in the village. Compared with Charlie, Luke is not smooth and flexible, but he also has some advantages.

The skin on his body was tanned by the vicious sun, and his lips were a bit thick. At first glance, one would think that he was a poor boy from the ravine who had never seen the world. At this time, Luke was also holding half a bowl of porridge Drink, and make a baji baji sound from time to time.

  Seeing that the poor boy in front of him actually drank the porridge so deliciously, when the two rebels looked at each other, they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.

  The two of them made eye contact silently for a moment, then leaned towards the edge of the wooden cage.

  Although their hands are tied with hemp rope, it does not affect them holding up the wooden bowl...

Maybe it was because they were hungry. The multigrain porridge cooked with wheat bran and beans made the two rebels very satisfied. Although the rough wheat bran scratched their throats, they would feel the porridge when they occasionally encountered a soft and waxy bean. An indescribable taste came.

  The kobolds in the slave camp have fallen asleep.

The two rebels leaned on the wooden cage with their eyes closed and fell asleep. It was not until the last light in Wall Village went out that one of the rebels opened his eyes. His eyes were a little sharp, and the companion on the opposite side felt his gaze. Also waking up from the doze, the two secretly glanced at Luke from the corner of their eyes, and found that Luke was like a vigilant weasel, staring at the wooden cage with big eyes in the dark night without blinking.

  ‘…’

In the dark night, the village guards outside the slave camp slept more soundly than the kobold slaves in the shed. This gave the two rebels a glimmer of hope that maybe the young man would sleep soon. They fell asleep, so they cast a look at each other and continued to close their eyes.

It wasn't until the third time when I opened my eyes and secretly observed Luke's rebels, and found that the young villager was sitting like a stone sculpture holding a spear three meters away from the wooden cage, that he was completely given up, so he quickly launched the second absconding plan .

A rebel pretended to be asleep, his hands were trapped, he leaned against the edge of the wooden cage and turned over in the cage with a very uncomfortable movement, a silver coin happened to fall out of his arms Li slid out, shining silvery in the night, and rolled into the gap under the wooden cage.

  Such a shiny silver coin is very conspicuous at night, Luke saw it...

But let the two rebels half-close their eyes, keep their hands and feet in a posture ready to pounce at any time, lie in the wooden cage, and want to subdue Luke at once when he touches him to pick up silver coins. Only by subduing the guards in the wooden cage can they find a way to escape from here.

  What they didn't expect at all was... Luke just glanced proudly at the silver coin in the gap of the wooden cage, and was unmoved at all.

  So the first half of the night passed like this.

  The two rebels began to hope that the villagers who came to take turns in the middle of the night would not ignore the silver coin in the cage like this proud villager.

Heavy footsteps sounded, the ground trembled, and then a mountain of meat stopped in front of Luke, and the ogre Gullitum squatted beside Luke, and said to Luke: "Then who... you go Go to sleep, Andrew said you have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and we will guard you in the second half of the night!"

  Luke looked at the ogre showing his white teeth. Although he had been together for so many days, he still felt a little terrified every time he saw him.

  Luke stood up, tapped his numb legs, and said to the ogre: "Then I'll go back, you have to take care of them, and I'll bring you wheatbread tomorrow morning..."

   "Eat chicken...I want stewed chicken!"

   The ogre made a request of his own to Luke.

"Still eating? Look, you have been in our village for less than two weeks, and there are still a few chickens left in the village..." Luke complained to the ogre, and then said: "No in the morning, tomorrow If you have nothing to do in the morning, follow me into Oak Ridge, where almost all the pheasants have flown out, and if you are lucky, you may be able to bring back a few of them!"

   "Okay, so who... you are really good!" The ogre gave a compliment in satisfaction.

   Then Gulitham folded his arms and sat on the edge of the wooden cage, waiting for the bell-sized eyes to stare at the two rebels, licking his lips with his rough tongue from time to time...

The two rebels who were locked in the cage wanted to use the silver coin under the cage to turn over. Unexpectedly, when they looked at them, an ogre who couldn't help drooling came and leaned against the cage. He closed his eyes in complete despair.

  …

Lifting the snow-white and slippery arm pressed against his chest, Suldak sat up from the bed, stretched his neck and glanced at Signa who was lying on the upper bed. The little girl was curled up, holding the magic notebook Sleeping soundly, Suldak gently took the magic note out of Signa's hand, placed it carefully beside her pillow, and then helped her pull the thick blanket before lying back on the bed.

  Although this house was only renovated last year, its biggest shortcoming is that it is too small. There is only such a room. Although Signa is still small, Suldak still feels that this is still inconvenient.

There was only a little bit of charcoal left in the fireplace diagonally opposite, and there was still unfinished white bread on the table. Although their lives changed with the help of Suldak, Selina didn't know each other every day. To eat this kind of extravagant white bread, only when Suerdak stayed here for a night, would he take out the white bread from his collection to entertain him.

  The deep and blue eyes like the lake water opened, and the gentle eyes were full of admiration, silently looking at the strong man lying quietly beside him.

  Sexy lips pursed slightly, and the corners of the mouth inadvertently raised an upward arc.

Stretching out his arms to wrap the fluffy golden hair behind his head, he looked at Suldak with his blue eyes open. She curled up lazily on the bed like a Persian cat, and Suldak gently stroked Selina like a brocade. With a smooth back, she whispered to her: "Life here will gradually get better..."

   "I know!" Selena responded in a low voice, with a hint of softness in her voice.

  Suldak was taken aback by the firm tone, and then asked, "How about I help you build a warmer house?"

   "I'll listen to you...you can build my house wherever you want after the village's reservoir project is over." Selina looked at him with a smile.

  This look made Suldak feel guilty for a while. He still doesn't have the courage to openly bring Selena and Signa in front of old Sheila. He is worried that he might be kicked out of the house.

  Signa on the upper bunk turned over, and there was another even breathing sound.

  Selena sat up slightly, supported her body with one hand, and rested her head on Suldak's chest, as if listening to his heartbeat.

   "Dark, I want to try to do something..."

"What's up?"

  Suldak stroked her creamy face with his hands.

   "I want to try to spread the teachings of the Goddess of Darkness to those kobold slaves. Since I am the messenger of the Goddess of Darkness, if I have the opportunity, I think maybe I should do something..." Selina whispered to Suldak.

   "Those kobolds?" Suldak was a little speechless.

But after thinking about it, although these villagers living in the barren land are far away from Hailansa City, they are the least affected group of Statue of Liberty believers. They have never received the blessing of the goddess before. Now the priests and The goddesses are gone, so naturally it won't affect the belief of the villagers, they are used to it anyway.

   "Well, I found that they can understand the Grimm Empire language, and their intelligence is not as low as expected. I want to use the most simple teachings to make them believe in the dark goddess Shilin." Selena said seriously.

"That's good, what do you need me to do? Have you thought about how to make them accept the teachings? Or let those kobold slaves listen to you talk about the glorious history of the Dark Goddess before dinner every day?" Suldak asked very cooperatively.

   "That's not necessary, as long as you agree!" Seeing that Suldak did not object, Selina smiled sweetly.

  When she laughed, the stars in the night sky would appear dim, and she stretched out her snow-white arms to wrap around Suldak's neck...

  …

  Signa stared wide-eyed, looking a little speechless at the magic note on the bed that turned pages automatically. The magic note stayed on the last page, and there was a dim gleam on the page.

  It's so late, and Suldak and Selina sleeping on the lower bunk are still very dishonest.

Celia Cooper looked at the Daughter of Darkness who was lying on the bed like a kitten in front of her. She leaned her body against the corner of the page of the magic notes. It was blank, and Celia reached out and drew two strokes on the blank space, and a magic symbol was displayed at that position.

This magic symbol belongs to a syllable of the ancient Elvish language. Celia Cooper silently made a series of mouth shapes to Signa, as if teaching her the correct pronunciation of the ancient Elvish language, and then began to seriously Tell how this syllable is specifically applied in certain places.

  At present, most of the spells in the magic guild of the Grimm Empire are recited in ancient Elvish language, so the necessary condition for becoming a magician is to learn a foreign language—ancient Elvish language.

  Signa followed Celia Cooper to recite silently, and she was even able to perfectly copy this symbol with her fingers.

  A trace of dark aura condensed into this magic symbol in front of her.

  Although Celia Cooper knows that Signa's learning ability is not ordinary, but she still feels that she has underestimated Signa for her ability to master a syllable of an ancient elf language.

  Since Signa discovered the existence of Celia Cooper that night, she set up a cage with the help of the dark goddess's descending power, trapping Celia Cooper in the magic note.

  In the Grimm Empire, no matter civilians or nobles, there is a chance to awaken magic when they reach the age of twelve. Once the magic pool in the body is awakened, it means becoming a magician noble.

  If you want to make some changes in your life, the fastest way is to become a magician, even if she is the saint who descended from the Goddess of Darkness on Roland Continent.

  Signa pursed her lips slightly, signaling to Celia Cooper to teach her the next syllable of the ancient elf language...

  …

  The whole night passed quietly like this.
