Chapter 254 Is that little dwarf from Bahrain so strong?
Chapter 254 Is that little dwarf from Bahrain so strong?
Lin Mo smiled as she stepped out of the tent, the afternoon sun warming her.
Outside the tent, the centaur Grom and two guards stood faithfully watching over it.
Lin Mo remembered something and asked Grom:
"Lord Grom, what is the combat rank of that dwarf commander Balin?"
Grom nodded slightly in respect and said:
"Reporting to Your Excellency, he became a Battle Venerable several decades ago when he first entered the seventh rank."
Lin Mo's eyes widened.
Holy crap, that shorty is also a seventh-tier character?
"Given his abilities, could it be that his drunkenness these past two days was all an act?"
Grom shook his head.
"No, at this level, you can control whether your body accepts the effects of alcohol and maintain a certain level of rationality."
"If you are in a safe place, you can relax and enjoy the high brought by alcohol. If you are in a dangerous place, you can quickly eliminate the alcohol."
Lin Mo was stunned, and could only utter two words in the end.
"Awesome."
No wonder Bahrain dared to wear spatial rings on all ten fingers; with his strength, he could break through alone in case of danger.
In fact, the dwarves did consider letting Balin go out alone, but going out alone without anyone to look after each other would have too little room for error.
Many things can happen unexpectedly. Balin is only at the seventh level, and the commander of the demon army besieging the dwarves is also at the seventh level. Once Balin gets entangled with him, it will be difficult for him to escape.
Therefore, two hundred elite soldiers were arranged to break through the siege together. Even so, they paid a heavy price and lost dozens of tribesmen.
If the demon leader hadn't stopped pursuing for some unknown reason, Bahrain might not have reached the expeditionary force yet.
Of course, Balin later learned the reason: the Demon Clan's greatest leader in Terra, Malphite, had been killed by the Great Xia.
Lin Mo was unaware of all this. At that moment, he was looking down and stroking the ring on his middle finger, feeling a ticklish sensation, as if he had received the latest toy.
He saw a half-meter-sized stone by the roadside, walked over, and gently touched it with his finger.
The stone disappeared.
He then saw a Mengshi military vehicle parked by the roadside, walked over, and touched it with his finger again.
The Mengshi military vehicle also disappeared.
With a thought, the stone and the Mengshi military vehicle appeared out of thin air beside him with two "thump" and "bang" sounds.
Holy crap!
"What is that?"
A patrol team not far away stopped, and several soldiers who had just come down from the training ground stared in disbelief at the scene, rubbing their eyes incredulously.
His mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg.
"What was that rock and the Mengshi military vehicle all about? Sergeant, shoot me down, I might not be fully awake yet!" a young soldier said, dumbfounded.
"Nonsense! That was something Commander Lin conjured up!" the veteran squad leader hissed.
"How could I have such a stupid soldier like you!"
"Telekinesis! That's truly divine skill!"
"Awesome! This is way better than those magicians. No wonder he's our leader, so cool!"
The soldiers' chatter reached Lin Mo's ears, and he grinned, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
Soon, Zhao Gang returned quickly with a document in his hand, his forehead still covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"Commander Lin, the list is ready. Please check if there are any problems."
Lin Mo took the document, glanced at it casually, and then it disappeared from his hand.
"Anyway, I don't understand it, so just get it done."
"I'll go back to sleep now, return the ring, and let Academician Qian and the others work on it as soon as possible."
"Also, please have the relevant departments prepare the items on the list."
"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded, then lowered his voice and added,
"When you get back, mention it to the commander."
"Regarding the location of the permanent portal, should we expand it directly on the original site, or choose a new location?"
"We need a place where carrier battle groups can pass through easily."
Carrier battle group!
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded seriously:
"I see."
Back in their rest tent, Wu Suowei and Wu Jiandao, the two guards, stood guard outside like two door gods.
Lin Mo looked at his body, stretched out his palm, and chanted a spell in a low voice.
A soft, holy light appeared and enveloped his entire body.
A moment later, the light dissipated, and I felt refreshed and free of impurities.
Holy Light Purification, YYDS!
He lay on the bed, carefully took off the spatial ring, put it into a small sealed bag, and then held it under his tongue.
This is the safest way to carry it; even if it gets restless in its sleep, it won't swallow it.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.
Having not slept for several days in a row, he was not too excited and gradually became sleepy.
I don't know if half an hour or an hour passed before my consciousness finally sank into darkness.
……
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar ceiling and soft lighting.
Blue Star, New Kyoto Underground City, his private room.
"what!"
A suppressed gasp rang out from the side.
Lin Mo turned his head and saw the young female nurse in charge of taking care of him looking at him with a surprised expression, holding an electronic vital signs monitor. She almost dropped the device in her hand.
"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin! You're awake!" She quickly calmed down, but her voice still carried undisguised surprise.
Lin Mo smiled at her, sat up, took the small sealed bag out of her mouth, took out the ring, and calmly put it back on her finger.
He rolled out of bed and stretched his limbs.
"Yes."
He walked briskly to the door and gave instructions to the two guards standing at the door.
"Take me to see Chief Number Two."
"Yes, sir!" The guard stood at attention and saluted, his voice firm and clear.
The office of the Second Chief was brightly lit as always.
Lin Mo knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered.
The old man was wearing reading glasses and was intently marking something on a document marked "Top Secret".
Behind him, Secretary Li was meticulously organizing another pile of documents for him.
"Commander, I'm back."
The Second Chief looked up, saw it was Lin Mo, and a gentle smile appeared on his serious face.
"Lin boy, you're back. This time..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Mo stretch out his hand and spread it out in front of him.
Swish.
A neatly folded paper document suddenly appeared in Lin Mo's palm.
The office fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.
The Second Chief's hand, holding the pen, froze in mid-air. The pen tip was only a few centimeters away from the document, and a drop of ink quietly gathered, suspended but not yet dripping.
Secretary Li, who was standing behind him, dropped the folder in her hand with a "clatter" onto the floor.
But he was completely unaware, staring dumbfounded at Lin Mo's hand.
"...This is the list of supplies that the expeditionary force urgently needs right now."
Lin Mo's voice broke the silence.
"I can bring another batch back when I go to sleep tonight."
We can bring supplies back!
It's not about holding a few seeds in its mouth, but about carrying a lot of things!
He realized who the Second Chief was almost instantly.
He didn't even glance at the document; his sharp gaze, like that of a hawk, was fixed on the antique ring on Lin Mo's finger.
"A spatial ring?"
His voice was soft and trembling slightly, a result of his extreme shock and forced suppression of his emotions.
P.S.: Thank you all for your gifts and support, so this is an extra chapter!
