The mage arrives

Gordon pointed to the palm print on Dudlin's face and said, "You were slapped by the majestic Battle Mage, so you can't be beaten a hundred times?"

"Uh...then I'll accept it." Dalinar, whose vision hadn't gotten rid of the stage of a country rich man, actually felt that if he could get a huge sum of two hundred gold coins with one slap, it seemed pretty good.Especially to be able to appreciate the Yankee guy's expression as if he was cut off, it's really worth it.

However, he also knew that if he followed Lord Baron Freeman in the future, this mentality would need to change.

Yesterday, Centurion Chuck came to visit Dalinar, and the two inevitably talked about Gordon.Chuck told Dalinar that if possible, it would be best to have a relationship with Gordon, because the other party has a very close connection with Grand Duke Rob Andelo.

Following a person with such an identity, if he still looks like the useless country bumpkin he used to be, it will definitely not work.

"At least, don't embarrass Lord Freeman." Dalinar secretly made up his mind.

Gordon stuffed the almost empty Dimensional Bag back into Yankee's waist, then kicked his ass: "Get up, get out of here. The rope will untie when the time is right."

Although it would be cool to kill all these guys decisively, Gordon couldn't do that.After all, the opponent is a field mage of the Winter Claw Legion. If he is really killed, and it is still at such a critical moment as the war is approaching, he may be in trouble.

Grand Duke Rob Antello may value himself very much, but Gordon can't shamelessly use the Lord of Scepter as a shield for omnipotence.Reckless.

Yankee took the lead in struggling to get up, looked back angrily, and then walked out the door in desperation.The other four soldiers had nothing to say.He followed Yankee with a dejected look.

Suddenly, an unwilling soldier bumped into Gordon from the side while he was not paying attention.

This guy was unwilling to swallow this breath, and as soon as his brain got hot, he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack and make Gordon suffer a little.Although his hands were bound, he thought he was strong and strong.The force of the body impact alone was able to break several ribs of this "thin" mage.

However, with Gordon's physical fitness and various advanced armors on his body.His plan is just a delusion.

"Lord Freeman, be careful!" Dalinar happened to see this scene from behind.He yelled, and seeing that Gordon had no time to dodge, he uttered a spell.Casts a Mage Hand.

Although it is far from reaching the qualifications for being promoted to a first-ring mage.However, Dalinar has mastered the zero-ring spells learned in several apprenticeship stages extremely proficiently.

An invisible hand of energy grabbed the soldier's ankle.Originally, this kind of strength, which could only move objects under five kilograms, could not stop a rigorously trained fighter at all, but it was only because Yankee was too arrogant just now, smashing all the glass bottles storing various antiseptic fluids on the store shelves Broken.Today, the floor is covered with sticky, wet and slippery green liquid, and it is easy to fall if you don't pay attention.

The soldier charged Gordon on the slippery floor.Dalinar's mage's hand destroyed the opponent's body balance with the most ingenious strength and angle.

Only a "plop" was heard.The soldier's heavy body in chain mail hit the floor.

The huge vibration even shook the old dust hidden in the cracks of the floor.

"I really don't know what a lesson is..." Gordon shook his head.He was too lazy to waste time with this kind of guy with a brain as stubborn as a cow, so he directly blessed himself with a powerful bull's brute force, and then kicked the soldier out of the store like kicking a football.

Then, Gordon looked at Dalinar: "Yes, you understood my first lesson very well, and you actually learned it so quickly."

Gordon discovers that Dalinar really resembles his father Beavis.He doesn't have too much arcane talent, nor does he have great wisdom, but he is smart enough and smart enough.Because Bivis wasted years in his early years, his achievements were extremely limited, but if Dalinar was cultivated carefully, he might be able to reach a height that even he himself dared not imagine in the future.

The next day, after Dalinar closed the store, he came to Red Rock to report on time.Gordon immediately let him come to the temporary workshop of Dwemer Iron River in the backyard of the fortress, and began to devote himself to the repair work of the black titan.

At the beginning, the upright dwarf master didn't have a good impression of this wretched young man. Poor Dalinar lost at the starting line again because of his face.However, after half a day of contact, Dwarven Tiehe was serious about his work, and Dalinar, who had no complaints, gradually changed his mind.When Gordon went to inquire about the progress of the restoration in the afternoon, the dwarf master was already full of praise for Dalinar.

"Hey! Mage, where did you find such an excellent assistant? Our ancestors told us not to judge the value of a stone by its appearance. Under the ugly appearance of pits and pits, there may be gorgeous gems hidden. I have known Dudley for a long time. Although Na is a bit ugly, he is a good boy! The wisdom and experience of the dwarves are indeed right!"

"Who the hell is still complaining about me this morning? Why did you find such a triangular-eyed mouse?" Gordon looked at Dwemer Tiehe with a half-smile.

The dwarf master coughed in embarrassment: "That's...that's because I drank three glasses of ale when I woke up in the morning, and I was drunk. That's nonsense, don't take it seriously!"

I swear by Moradin's beard, even if this guy drank three barrels of ice and snow spirits from Orlandos, he wouldn't get drunk. Three glasses of ale, is it possible?

While Gordon and Dwemer Tiehe were chatting, a big man welcomed in the backyard of the fortress.

"Grand Duke Antaello, are you here?"

Seeing the lord of the scepter, who was dressed luxuriously and held a platinum scepter, appearing with both grace and majesty, Gordon immediately went up to him.

"Yes, I finally finished dealing with those chores." Rob Antello nodded to Gordon.He looked around, observed the backyard where the work was in full swing, and made clanking sounds from time to time, and asked, "How is the repair work on the Black Titan? This is the most effective way for us to fight the orc army, especially those Cyclops Weapons must be in their best condition when the war comes."

"About [-]% of the damaged outer armor has been replaced, and about half of the internal structure has been repaired. There should be no problem in terms of time," Gordon said.

"It's better to be like this..." The Grand Duke's brows were condensed with faint worry, "The orc army has arrived at Princess Marlene's fortress, I don't know how long it can hold there..."

Due to the fact that the troop assembly was not going as smoothly as expected, there are currently less than 5000 people defending in Gaoyan City. Therefore, in order to buy time, the Supreme Military Council of Farfrost Province headed by Rob Antello decided to stick to Gaoyan City Princess Marlene's fortress in the north, in order to delay the speed of the orcs' advance.

The increasingly serious war left the Grand Duke and Gordon with little time to chat, and they talked about business as soon as they met.Lord Scepter looked at the black titan with several armor plates removed to reveal the internal structure, and asked, "Can your golem move now?"

"If you just take two steps and do simple actions like raising your hand, it's fine. But if it's used for combat, I'm afraid it won't work..."

"Enough." Rob Antello nodded, "Tomorrow, I need you and your black titan to go to Platinum Plaza. After discussing with others, I decided to hold a celebration party."

"Great celebration? What are you celebrating? Could it be that the world line I'm in is different, and Freyton has already defeated the orc army that invaded Farfrost Province?"

The Lord of Scepter smiled bitterly: "Facing the front of the orcs, we are constantly retreating, and the morale of the army is very low. Every day, soldiers who withdraw from the front line tell how powerful the orc army is, and how invincible those Cyclops are. We The morale must be boosted. Although overall, our current situation is very unfavorable, we have also achieved some victories in some local battles. Although they cannot reverse the entire battle situation, these victories at least prove that the orcs are not invincible. Have the opportunity."

Gordon understood.

For the sake of the entire battle situation, he can only temporarily take on the duty of the "art troupe" to boost morale.

Due to the Grand Duke's request, Dwarven Iron River led the dwarves to replace all the outer armor of the Black Titan overnight, and repainted it with smooth and shiny black paint.Although there are many internal problems, in the eyes of laymen, this steel giant is enough to bluff people.

Every city in Fredon has a Platinum Square, and High Rock is no exception.However, it is different from the Platinum Plaza in Clearwater City, the Platinum Plaza in Gaoyan City is backed by the red giant rock fortress.On a nearly vertical huge rock wall facing Platinum Square, there is a 50-meter-high relief of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon.In terms of momentum alone, it is far better than the Dragon God statue in Clear Water City.

The senior officials of Yuanshuang Province attached great importance to today's celebration meeting, and arranged the rostrum early.However, perhaps it was to coordinate with the overall atmosphere of the fortress city Gaoyan, or that it was not appropriate to be extravagant in this state of war, so apart from the rostrum, other audiences participating in the conference—whether they were civilians or beggars, nobles or military officers, They can only stand and huddle together in the open space, watching the conference.

However, despite the harsh conditions, the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians in Gaoyan City for this celebration meeting did not dissipate.Their hearts have been suppressed by the cloud of war and the terrifying rumors of the orc army for too long. They need hope, and more importantly, inspiring victories to strengthen their determination to defeat a powerful enemy.

Before dawn, the designated viewing area was already crowded with people, packed to the brim.This is hard for those noble servants.In order to separate the honorable host from the lowly and dirty civilians, and to enjoy the conference gracefully, they have exhausted their efforts and suffered a lot.

When Gordon arrived, he walked to the rostrum with great difficulty under the guidance of two sergeants.

Standing on the high platform, he casually glanced down and saw an unexpected person.

"Xiona? Why is she here?" (To be continued...)
