Chapter 27: The Cyclops King

“It’s not my business, they did it!” Pars hurriedly argued.

“Who is giving me nonsense? Why don’t you go get it and put it back on him? Never let him know that his Battle Armor was taken off, that would be a huge disgrace to him!” The Old Mage said anxiously.

“Yes, yes!” Pars did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly called some Imps to rummage through those things, and quickly found the hidden Golden Battle Armor.

When they moved the Battle Armor over to take a look, Old Xie almost died of laughter, how could this be called Battle Armor? It was simply like a woman’s underwear, pitifully small. The helmet was just like the tightening spell on Sun Wukong’s head, just a circle of gold pieces with a yellowish Magic gem inlaid on it. The front chest armor was just a heart-protecting mirror, although it had a diameter of one foot, but on the Cyclops’ burly body, what could this protect? The only relatively large piece was a battle skirt, although the style was nice, the size was equivalent to a pair of underpants, and there was nothing else. How could this be called Battle Armor? It might as well be called underwear.

But since they liked to call it that, Old Xie had no choice but to smilingly help them put the Battle Armor back on that Cyclops King. It had to be said that this Cyclops was heavy; if Old Xie hadn’t done it himself, they wouldn’t have been able to complete the heavy task of dressing him.

After putting the Battle Armor on the Cyclops King, Old Xie had people untie the other Cyclops and arrange them neatly. Then he picked up a Potion given by Pars and fed it to the Cyclops King.

The dedicated antidote naturally had a significant effect, and not long after feeding it, the Cyclops King woke up. The first moment he opened his single eye, he smashed a fierce punch towards Old Xie.

Who was Old Xie? Although he was not on guard, he was not someone who could be hit easily. He just blocked this punch fiercely with a casual move. However, Old Xie obviously underestimated the strength of the Cyclops King; this fellow’s punch had at least nearly ten thousand jin of force, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to throw stone balls of hundreds of jin out for hundreds of meters.

Of course, such power was actually not enough to injure Old Xie’s Behemoth body refined by the Secret Method, but the problem was that Old Xie’s body was too light, only a few hundred jin, so after taking this hit, he had to be beaten back again and again by the impact force, and every step he retreated left a deep footprint on the Stone Slate ground.

Old Xie was immediately furious, his eyes stared, and he was about to go up and teach the other party a lesson. Fortunately, the Old Mage reached out to stop him at this time and persuaded: “He just woke up, his mind is not clear, don’t hold it against him!”

Old Xie then reluctantly suppressed his anger. The Old Mage turned his face to the Cyclops King and said: “Hey, shouldn’t you be awake by now? We are the ones who saved you!”

The Cyclops King then looked at the surrounding environment, smelled the thick bloody scent in the air, and immediately understood that he had hit the wrong person, and hurriedly said with a slight apology: “Sorry, it was a misstrike!”

Although he said this, his face still had a look of guard, but he locked his eyes on Pars, and then immediately said angrily: “This guy is a damn slave trader!”

“Cough, cough!” The Old Mage suddenly coughed twice, and then said: “He is indeed a damn slave trader, so, after catching him this time, in order to punish him, we turned him into a slave, and all his other accomplices were executed, presumably this should be enough, right?”

“Really?” The Cyclops King said suspiciously.

“Look!” The Old Mage said, reaching out to grab Pars, letting the Cyclops King see the slave mark on Pars’ forehead.

Seeing this, the Cyclops King nodded to show his belief, then he bowed to the Old Mage and said: “Thank you for saving me, I am the Cyclops King Shasla! May I ask who you are?” He had long felt that the Old Mage’s strength was very powerful, so he asked so respectfully; if it was a guy with insufficient strength, he wouldn’t even give a straight look.

“My name is Steven!” The Old Mage said very proudly. At the same time, he put on the appearance of an expert, which made Old Xie want to vomit.

But the Cyclops King Shasla didn’t see it that way; hearing the Old Mage’s name, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly asked: “Could it be that you are Master Steven, the Lightning Magic Saint, the head of the Five Magic Saints of the Griffin Kingdom?”

“Hehe, that’s right, it is me!” The Old Mage nodded and smiled.

“Disrespect, disrespect!” Shasla immediately showed a look of awe, and then said carefully: “Respected Master Steven, I don’t know if you can wake up my clansmen first?”

“Of course, but it’s best if you do it yourself, I’m afraid that after they wake up, they will~” The Old Mage said with a mixture of laughter and tears.

“Understand, understand!” The Cyclops King Shasla hurriedly nodded and said: “Please grant me the antidote, I will feed them myself!”

“Good!” The Old Mage then signaled Old Xie to give the Potion to him.

Old Xie naturally disdained to bicker with Shasla, and handed the Potion over casually. Subsequently, Shasla got busy; fortunately, the amount of Potion was sufficient, and not long after, thirty-six Cyclops all woke up. Shasla explained everything that happened to them, and told them the identity of the Old Mage, which calmed everyone’s hearts down.

Subsequently, the Old Mage invited them to eat together, not only serving roast meat carefully made by the Imps, but also generously taking out ten barrels of fine wine for them. Soon, the Cyclops, who had been hungry for several days, all fell into a craze of eating and drinking.

You know, in their place, there was no such good roast meat and fine wine; usually, they ate roast meat offered by the Wolf Race subordinate to them, not to mention it was half-raw and half-cooked, the amount was not enough. Now not only was the meat roasted well, but there were also spices mixed in, the taste was naturally extraordinary, plus the help of fine wine, everyone drank very excitedly.

The Cyclops King was specially invited to the side of the Old Mage and Old Xie, the three of them sat around a fire, eating and drinking while chatting. As they talked, the topic turned to the Cyclops’ future plans.

The Old Mage asked: “Shasla, you are so far from home, I’m afraid you don’t recognize the way, right?”

“Yes, Master, we indeed don’t recognize the way, but, I think this can’t trouble you, right?” A trace of cunning flashed in Shasla’s single eye, obviously, he wanted the Old Mage to send them back.

The Old Mage couldn’t help but secretly curse cunning, but on his face he still smiled and said, “Actually, sending you back, although difficult, I do have the ability, however, I think that instead of going back to suffer, it would be better to enjoy life here!”

“Oh? What does this mean?” Shasla asked curiously.

“Hehe!” The Old Mage gave Old Xie a wink, then smiled: “Let my Little Stephen tell you about this!”

Old Xie was not polite, and said directly: “It’s like this, I plan to build a base here, if you are willing to stay and follow me, I can provide you with the best of everything, food, fine wine, equipment, I will provide everything, I guarantee you will be satisfied!”

Hearing this, the Cyclops King did not show surprise, but instead revealed a trace of anger, he said coldly: “We Cyclops are children of the God of War, we only fear invincible heroes, and will not become other people’s running dogs just for mere food, if you want us to follow you, then there is only one way, that is—defeat us!”
