Ride and Cut

Du Peng snapped his fingers, and the mage's hand immediately prepared hot tea and snacks, and the three of them sat around the round table facing each other.

"You don't believe that Titans are spying on our world, do you?" Li Cha sighed with his mouth curled up, and this was his first reaction.

Frankly speaking, his current prestige and reputation are really not enough, and he can't convince all intelligent life in the whole continent once he speaks.

But being questioned too many times made me a little impatient.

Just as he was about to repeat all the rhetoric like memorizing a script, the other party's reaction was unexpected.

"No, no, on the contrary, I'm sure of it." The little otter waved his hands again and again, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Igne, and I am the high priest of the half-orc kingdom."

Li Cha and Du Peng looked at each other, and they both found a bit of shock in each other's eyes. The high priest is a strong man equivalent to a magister in the ancestral spirit system.

"Disrespect, disrespect." Li Cha couldn't help laughing, the other party was not quite the same as the image of the priest he imagined.

"In your opinion, don't the half-orc priests should wear a circle of animal skins around their waists, wear a feather crown on their heads, paint their faces with strange bright oil paints, roar and dance around the fire?"

Seeing through his mind, Li Cha laughed awkwardly.

To be honest, it's not just him, but most human beings have half-orcs in their minds.

But at present, his leather shoes are so shiny that they can reflect his figure, and his tuxedo is ironed neatly. In comparison, he is the disheveled person.

"The times are developing, and half-orcs are also progressing. But you humans always like to look at other races with old eyes, which is really arrogant." Igne joked.

"My apologies, respected priest." Richard had to admit that, as the hegemon of today's world, human beings are indeed generally very arrogant.

In the eyes of most humans, elves live in the forest, dwarves are good at forging iron, and half-orcs are full of tendons and like to roar at the north wind.

But in fact, which race can have no diversity within it.

Not to mention, there is a dwarf Robbie who never touches a forging hammer in Gaoshan Castle.

Igne didn't bother about it too much, and continued after lightly uncovering it: "Actually, I don't have any doubts about your information, because we have verified it from another angle. I am visiting you because I want to piece together more truth through exchanges between the two parties."

"What do you mean?" The lord's face suddenly became serious.

"Please don't announce this matter to the public." The otter man held up his teacup to hide his face, and broke out a news that couldn't be more important, "Our old king, an old friend of Master Du Pont, His Majesty Reinhardt was bewitched by the Titan!"

The fat old man who was drinking tea suddenly choked and coughed.

The saucer was unsteady for a moment, scalding hot water splashed on my thighs, and I grinned for a while.

Li Cha sat as firmly as a mountain, his face as calm as an ancient well.

"Actually, Feili is not too keen on power, and has always respected his adoptive father. But after accidentally discovering this and persuading him to no avail, he had to set off a coup to replace him." Igne said slowly, "After all, the kingdom is always more important than the king."

"In any case, none of this seems to have anything to do with Sinclair." Master Du Pont sat up straight, his gaze as sharp as a falcon, "If it's what you said, why did this child hide himself on the street?"

"Because no matter what the purpose is, a coup is essentially a change of power. How could the new ruler allow the blood of the old king to continue? There are many people who want her life, and it is the most dangerous to stay in the palace. You must know that there are some backstabbing, even the king and the high priest can't stop it."

Yigenie's words showed a completely different level of fighting experience from an academic mage like Du Pont.

"Actually, I kind of believe it." Li Cha rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Back when I heard Sinclaire say that by swallowing charcoal to change her voice and covering her complexion with pot ashes, she could hide among little beggars on the street and avoid pursuing soldiers.

"And she was able to get in touch with Master Du Pont because she was looking for a chance to get a relic of the former king. But she was able to find the chance with her three-legged cat kung fu, which in itself is too nonsense."

The lord is not so easy to trust a stranger he meets for the first time, even if he is as prominent as a high priest.

But he understands a very simple truth - if there are abnormalities everywhere in one thing, it is most likely not because there are always people who are stupid, but because there are deeper tricks.

"If it wasn't for Fei Li's help to cover it up, she would have been discovered long ago." Igne looked at the sleeping lion cub, "I also threw that relic to her on purpose, and then she disappeared suddenly, and Fei Li and I knew it was taken away."

He blinked and sighed a little: "This is not bad, it is the best ending. In addition, I would like to ask you two, it is best not to let Sinclair know about this matter forever."

"Why?" Du Pont couldn't help asking.

"Who doesn't want their father to be a hero forever?"

Master Du Pont couldn't help but be at a loss for words because of this revealing of true feelings that cannot be faked.

"I'm really curious, why did the Titans go to great lengths to confuse the intelligent life in this world?" Richard moved his buttocks and changed to a more comfortable sitting position. "From the two examples I have so far, the reason why Belluni and Nero were recruited was because of their thirst for power."

"His Majesty Reinhardt is for life." Igne said calmly, "A dying old man, what else can make him crazy besides life. Titan promised to help him continue his life. As a price, he will collect human magic knowledge for Titan."

"Titan will continue to live?" Li Cha was surprised.

Judging from his current experience, Titan's level is indeed high, but he has never shown anything too unconventional.

But to save a life that is gradually decaying, it undoubtedly involves the most original and complex mystery of life, and the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination.

"In a sense, it can be counted." The corners of Igne's mouth slightly curved, as if mocking, "His Majesty Reinhardt, who should have died long ago, stayed in the human world for another three years as a dead spirit. When he was discovered, his body was covered with corpse spots, and he had to consume a lot of spices every day to cover up the stench. Can you imagine that the one who sat on the throne of the kingdom for three years was actually a dead man!"

"Isn't the point that the Titans are collecting human magic knowledge?" Du Pont recovered from the shock.

The human magic system evolved independently from some inherited foundations after the elven empire fell, and it is indeed very different from the titans or elves.

This is not a secret, and it is not difficult for people with a little knowledge to know.

"It's really strange, so I want to know." Igne turned her head to look at Richard, "For Nero and Belluni, what is Titan's request for them?"

"You may not believe it, but I really didn't lie to you." The lord said with a wry smile. "From what I know, the Titans don't seem to have made any demands on them from the beginning to the end."

"It's closer than a real father and a mother. They don't expect anything in return. As for driving them crazy, it's also due to environmental factors. We can't blame Tai Tan completely. It's not the same treatment as Sinclair's unlucky father."
