Chapter 2861 Illiterate
Latest website: Rao looked at the speech in his hand, looking at the crooked characters on it, like tadpoles that he didn't recognize at all, and couldn't help feeling worried.
There was not much time left, but he could not memorize the contents of the speech at all. He was even nervous and did not write down a few sentences at all. If he went on stage like this, he might make some jokes.
In the final analysis, it was the big red dragon's sudden request that caused the military parade to be held too hastily. If he had been notified weeks or days in advance, Rao would have had enough time to prepare, even if it was another He can also memorize all complex sentences, instead of being as embarrassed as he is now.
Although Speaker Erica thoughtfully prepared speeches for all the undead generals, and all the undead generals need to do is to follow the contents of the speeches and recite them with momentum, but Even Erica could not imagine that the great demon who had lived in hell for hundreds of years could still be illiterate.
Now there was such an embarrassing situation. Although he had tried very hard, Rao still couldn't memorize all the contents of the speech. Seeing that the undead came to urge him again, Rao couldn't help but put his head in his hands and let out a frustrated sigh. :
"It's impossible for me to memorize the content above. This speech is over, and the Hundred Death Squadron will become the laughing stock of the kings... Damn it, why is the situation like this? Why am I the Hundred Death Elite? The representative came to the stage to give a speech? Aglan, who is obviously stronger than me, is in the Hundred Death Squad. As the first great demon to follow his master, Agran also knows how to read, so he should be the one to represent the Hundred Death Squad on the stage. The best person to deliver the speech, not me."
Looking at the dejected Rao who failed to complete the task, Kegel next to him was more anxious than him. No one wanted to see something go wrong during the speech, not to mention that it was Rao who was about to be frozen by the ice sword. Picked up from the cold sea water. Kegel had heard about the situation in the Hundred Death Squadron, so he advised:
"No one can replace your position in the Hundred Death Squadron, not even Aglan who was the first to follow his master. I believe that Speaker Erica chose you as the representative to deliver the speech. She must have considered it. Maybe Aglan is stronger than you, but you are the one who has died the most in the Hundred-Death Squad. You have dedicated your life to the Lord of the Undead time and time again, and only you can represent the entire Hundred-Death Squad."
Listening to Kegel's praise, Rao smiled sheepishly. He had lived in hell for hundreds of years and never learned to read. He was originally a reckless demon with only one brain in his mind. He had the ability to be infinitely reborn in the realm of death. This allowed him to have no scruples in the battle, and his fighting method was mainly to exchange injuries for injuries. Unknowingly, he also became the big devil with the most deaths in the Hundred Death Squad.
Rao originally thought that after dying so many times, he would be ridiculed by the other hundred-death elites. Unexpectedly, not only did this not happen, but he also received an award from His Majesty Rhodes personally because of his unparalleled number of deaths. The Medal of Hundred Deaths has become the envy of many elites of Hundred Deaths.
In the Hundred Death Squad, Rao has a very special status, and not even Aglan can replace him.
However, when looking at the incomprehensible speech script, Rao could only sigh deeply: "Even if you say so, there is no way to solve my dilemma. When I mess up this speech, the master will definitely He will be deeply disappointed in me, and he will take back the medal awarded to me. What should I do then? Why don't you help me go up and give a speech."
Kegel looked dumbfounded: "I'm not a member of the Hundred Death Squadron, how can I come on stage at this time? Besides, no one can replace you. It's you who won the opportunity to speak in front of the kings. You should believe it." Yourself. You don’t have to worry about memorizing the speech, do you know why?”
As he spoke, Kegel reached out and snatched the speech prepared by Speaker Erica from Rao's hand while Rao was stunned, tore it into pieces, and threw the fragments into the air.
Rao's mouth opened wide, and he tried to take back the fragments of the speech. What he caught in his hands were only scattered fragments. He stared at Kegel in confusion: "No! Why are you doing this? "
"Like I said, the moment the speech text no longer exists, you don't have to worry about not being able to memorize it." Kegel said with a backhand, "Did you see General Farese who just took the stage? He simply I completed my speech without using the speech prepared by Speaker Erica, and I believe you can do the same."
Hearing what he said, Rao was not even angry: "Farese is the general who leads the entire undead army. Of course he knows what he wants to say, and I am just a soldier who keeps sacrificing his life. You ask me to tell him what he wants to say." Those inspiring words, why not kill me now.”
Looking at the speech that had been completely torn into pieces and could no longer be pieced together, Rao felt that the whole world was collapsing. It's over, it's all over. Now even if Rao finds someone willing to speak on the stage in his place, he still can't get the speech prepared by Erica. This speech will definitely turn into a disaster. The disaster is imminent, but Rao still doesn't know how to do it. There was no way to escape. He was the first to face this disaster, or he was the cause of the disaster. How could he explain this to the Lord of the Dead?
And right in front of Gwen Square, the immortal elites waiting here gradually realized that something was wrong.
It has been a while since Farese finished his speech, the Terror Knights left the stage and were replaced by members of the Undead Team. However, Rao, who was the representative of the speech, was still missing. This is a bit too abnormal. According to reason, Speaking of which, he should take the stage when all the Elites of Hundred Deaths appear.
Fortunately, the nearby kings did not see the problem. They were still immersed in the shock brought by Farese, and thought that the current waiting was just a part of the ceremony.
"What's going on? What on earth is Rao doing?"
Aglan discovered the problem and couldn't help but frown and asked. As a great demon who is deeply trusted by the Lord of the Dead, Aglan has a high status in the Hundred Deaths Team. Many Hundred Deaths elites believe that he will represent Hundred Deaths. The team took the stage to give a speech, but unexpectedly the task finally fell on Rao.
Hearing Agran's question, the nearby Hundred Death Elites looked at each other with puzzled expressions. The current situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.
"It seems that Rao has encountered some trouble." At this moment, Karl, one of the elite members of the Hundred Deaths, said in a pointed voice.
Not all great demons that turn into undead can integrate well into the undead army. As the most powerful demon in hell, the great demon is mostly known for his rebellion. During his lifetime, the great demon only obeyed the orders of the arrogant king, and after his death, he only obeyed the command of the Lord of the Undead. The arrogance originating from his bones was also completely retained by the realm of death. Come down.
Even in the Hundred-Death Squad, the Great Demon is keen on showing off his strength and fighting for power, and among them, Karl is the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing.
From Karl's words, Aglan seemed to hear other meanings, so he said: "Listen to what you said, do you know something?"
"I once performed a mission with Rao. In addition to being too reckless, he also had another shortcoming, that is, he was illiterate. Now, I am afraid that he is too busy with his speech to get on stage. Speech." Carl scoffed.
"What?" Aglan was slightly stunned. This situation was somewhat beyond his expectation. Who would have thought that Rao, a great demon, could not read at all and could not understand what was written in the speech. With such a situation, he has no chance to give a speech on behalf of the Hundred Death Team, "Why didn't you report the situation to Speaker Erica earlier? I didn't discover these problems until now. I'm afraid it's already too late."
Facing Agran's accusation, Karl just snorted: "Why should I do this? This matter is not my fault. The root cause of the mistake is clearly Rao's illiteracy, which was caused by himself. Can you Don't blame it on me."
Karl looked around, looking at the kings who were waiting eagerly, and said with some schadenfreude: "It seems that this time, the reckless Rao has caused a lot of trouble. He may be punished for making such a serious mistake. Completely expel the Hundred-Death Squad, and by then, I will be the deadliest among the Hundred-Death Squad."
Agran was stunned for a moment, and then understood the reason why Karl did not give any reminder, and said angrily: "At such a time, you are still thinking about fighting for fame and fortune. Don't you know that if Rao's What went wrong with the speech, did it embarrass the entire Kingdom of the Undead?"
"What are you afraid of?" Karl said disapprovingly, "Look at those invited kings. Why do you think they came to the Kingdom of the Dead? Do they want to enjoy the wedding celebration? No, they will come here. , because they are afraid, they are afraid of the power that belongs to us. Even if Rao can’t fart even after he comes to power, who dares to laugh at the undead army in person? Compared with this, I am more worried that Rao will not really be Are you so frightened that you don’t dare to show up at all? Do we have to wait for him forever? I don’t know when the competition will start.”
Karl's words are arrogant and rebellious, and they are exactly the symbol of the great devil. He has experienced hundreds of battles in hell and believes in the supremacy of strength. How can he care about the opinions of the kings?
Agran didn't think so. Karl's nonchalant words also aroused the anger in his heart: "Wait, when the competition starts, I will let you understand the consequences of doing this."
Karl glanced at him: "You have just joined the Hundred Death Squadron. When the competition is over, you will thank me for adding one death to your count."
Just when the two great demons were not convinced by the other, Erica also discovered the problem. She frowned and asked the corpse witch who delivered the news: "What's going on? What is Rao doing?"
"He said he was still preparing." The vampire responsible for delivering the message said respectfully.
"What are you ready for? Could it be that he has stage fright?" Erica was a little puzzled and didn't understand why there was no movement from Rao's side.
No matter how much Erica thought about it, she never expected that there would be a legendary level demon who couldn't read at all, and that demon would soon be on stage to give a speech on behalf of the Hundred Death Squad. If she knew the dilemma faced by Rao, she would be scared to death. It would be too late to change the speaker now.
In Brakada's most glorious years, literacy, as the most basic part of magic learning, had already been popularized to all apprentices in the Mage Empire under the instruction of the Magic Guild. If you don't know how to read, you won't be able to understand any records in the magic books, let alone learn magic. With the simple pictures in the magic book, you won't even be able to get through the door of the spell caster.
Even the mage apprentices in Brakada knew how to read. Unexpectedly, something happened to the big devil now. Even if the matter spread, I am afraid no one would think it was true. However, it happened to be like that. happened.
On the other hand, Rowling, who was next to Erica, suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Speaker Erica, I'm going to see what happened over there with Rao."
"No need." However, Erica rejected Rowling's proposal and turned to look at the podium not far away, "He is already here."
Accompanied by the great devil's signature flame escape, Rao's figure appeared on the podium. His face was sullen, and his eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle. His expression was not so much reserved as sluggish.
The power of fire, which had been silent in the world for a long time, now reappeared on Rao and a group of hundred-death elites, which also caused the nearby kings to talk about it.
Some people say that it is the power given to them by the Lord of the Undead. The Lord of the Undead holds the power of the flames of the world. Some people also say that it is because of the Fire Element Monarch. The Lord of the Undead has reached a certain connection with the Fire Element Monarch, allowing himself and his subordinates to use the power of fire. What's more, some people believed the rumors and believed that the Lord of the Undead had secretly seized the position of the Fire Elemental Lord. There were different opinions for a while.
"Great." Seeing Rao on the podium, everything seemed to be going according to Speaker Erica's plan, Rowling couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed, "I didn't know Speaker Erica What kind of speech was prepared for him.”
Erica did not answer, but frowned at the expression on Rao's face. Logically speaking, no matter how nervous Rao was in front of the kings, he would never show such an expression. Could it be that something happened? What's the surprise?
Thinking of this, Erica hurriedly asked the vampire who sent the message: "What was Rao doing before?"
"I urged him several times, and every time he practiced his speech with Ocean Commander Kegel." The vampire thought for a while and answered.
"Practice your speech..." Erica nodded. It could be seen that Rao was very attentive to the speech. He also deliberately practiced his intonation before the speech began to avoid language lag after taking the stage. It was just that his face was slightly sluggish. Erica's face really made Erica a little worried, she just hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.
