Chapter 35: Lena's Helper (Part II)
Nalon Gale and the warriors left after posting the notice, looking unusually cold and less enthusiastic than before. Lena and the others walked to the door to read the notice, only to learn that in order to deal with the demon invasion in the near future, the city lord of Jinshui City had made a lot of arrangements. As for the content of this notice, it can be summarized as follows:
1. Please take the time to help expand the space of the underground shelter, so that those who are unable to fight can take refuge calmly.
2. The Jinshui City Lord will collect excess weapons and equipment at ninety percent of the market price and pile them up at all battle bases for everyone to use.
3. The defense force of Jinshui City is seriously insufficient, so please go to the city lord's residence to register and receive unified orders from the free adventurers who intend to defend Jinshui City.
Neo approvingly, "Well, it seems that this city lord has some skills. If the Condor Legion were to defend the city, most of them would be arranged like this. ”
"What underground shelter is included?" Princess Lena was puzzled.
Neo smiled: "Of course, this place is not as good as the royal capital, and when the foreign enemy comes, there are not so many magicians who can hold up the magic shield to protect the civilians, so they have to rely on the power of nature to protect themselves." It's just that I always feel that the sheriff's expression is a little painful, which is a little weird!"
Lena felt the same way: "It's a bit awkward. But maybe he remembers his family who died at the hands of the demons? The painful memories do make people feel down!"
"It's possible. When Nylon first came to Goldwater, I asked about his parents. He said he had been killed by the devils!" said the tavern keeper who was standing at the counter.
Lena suddenly said, "I see, the devils of the Flame Hell?... Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this, it's better to find Akuro first to feel at ease. ”
"Bang!"
Lina's fingertips forced, and the black hedron immediately shattered into powder. However, nothing happened for the next few seconds.
"Your Highness Princess, this can't be a fake, right?" asked the magic bell in a low voice, and was even ready to go to the city to find the little man and give him some color.
Lina was very calm: "Don't worry! Mr. Acro is not a summoner on call, let's wait and see." ”
"Yes, instead of worrying about the real thing, it's better to have a glass of wine!boss, refill the glass!" Neo smiled as he raised his empty glass.
However, he and Lena gossiped and waited, and it was not until three glasses of ale were eaten that there was finally movement at the door.
"Knock—— hoo!"
The door to the tavern suddenly opened on its own, and a violent storm poured in, overturning the tables and chairs in the tavern and throwing wooden wine glasses and plates to the ground.
The corners of Lena's mouth curled, and she stretched out her wand in the direction of the doorway, and the spell in her mouth was completed in one go, and translucent magical energy surged out with a rolling wave of heat, instantly sweeping every corner of the tavern and vaporizing the hurricane that blew into the door.
Immediately after, a low roar sounded outside the door, only to see a flash of black light, followed by a crisp sound of colliding rings. The faint morning light shone into the tavern through the door, and the slender reflection gradually lengthened on the floor, and a tall, burly strange man walked into the tavern alone.
The three of them looked from afar, and saw that the man had long dark blue hair, a black cloak with a tattered hem, and only a few strands of hoarfrost on his sideburns. If I looked closely, I saw that his complexion was slightly dark, his eyes were narrow and long, and a pair of brown-red eyes were like two bottomless ancient wells, and no one could see through the world under the well. Several diamond-shaped black scales on both cheeks shed a bit of mystery on the man while revealing his half-dragon bloodline. The crisp sound just now came from the white sharp teeth and blood-colored bone rings nested at the top of the keel staff in his hand.
The man looked around as he entered the tavern, and when he saw the black powder at Lena's feet, he walked up to her and introduced himself in a unique metallic voice, "Akuro Dragonyan, a half-dragon druid." So... You're the one who commissioned you?"
Lina restrained her expression and looked at her calmly: "Not bad." ”
"Take me to the person I want to protect. ”
"One of them hasn't gotten up yet, and the other is in the largest blacksmith shop in Goldwater City. ”
After hearing this, Acro suddenly surged with a magical energy as fierce as a dragon, and his tone was a little colder: "Bingley told you my rules!
Lena held down the bell to fight back, chanting the spell Wendy had used last night. However, she didn't have an immortal soul in her, so nothing happened.
But Akoro's eyes widened suddenly, and he slammed the dragon bone staff hard, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you hear this spell, tell me quickly?"
"This is not the attitude that a mercenary should have towards his employer!"
"his employer! You'd better tell me honestly, or I..."
Lena interrupted: "You won't! Come with me, when you meet that child, not only will you not kill me, but you will willingly protect her for free!"
Acro shook his head: "I will only protect her if I give her enough gold." I prefer gold coins to humans because they are warmer than people's hearts!"
"What a cynic!" Neo complained as he walked, only to receive a cold glare from Acro.
Lina walked in front and smiled secretly in her heart: "This guy said no, but there is still a trace of luck in his heart." Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed Wendy to Wendy. ”
When they arrived at Wendy's room, the little girl was already up and sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, doing the morning meditation that all mage apprentices do.
But she didn't notice that as she condensed and worked her magic, a few bits of white light appeared on her fingertips, emitting a soft, warm shimmer. The glimmer soon spread outward, creating a thin mist of light containing abundant life energy, which spread around Wendy.
Acro followed Lena into the room, his eyes immediately drawn to the mist of light on Wendy's body. In the long, narrow brown and red eyes, two rays of water rose because of overexcitement: "It's her! It's really her! I've been looking for more than 20 years, and today I've finally found the clue of the immortal soul! No, I'm sure that this child's body must be parasitic with the immortal soul!"
The voices of several people woke up Wendy who was meditating, she opened her eyes to look at everyone, and the glimmer of light in the room suddenly dissipated: "Sister Lena, hey, who is this gentleman...?"
Acro, who was disdainful in the face of Princess Lena, took the initiative to push everyone away and walked to Wendy at this time, half-knelt on the ground under the timid gaze of little Lori, lowered his head, and let two warm tears flow over the scales on his cheeks, and fell to the floor with a "drip": "I am a half-dragon druid: Akuro Radon Dragonyan! Great Immortal Soul! As long as you can save Leah's life, I hereby vow: For the rest of my life, this body, this heart, and this soul will be subordinate to you, and you can drive you!"
Wendy was taken aback by Acro's actions. She retreated to the other end of the bed and said in a loud voice, "No, no, no, I don't want to drive your body, mind and soul." Hurry up, I promise you to save her!"
Behind Acro, Princess Lena also sighed: "Alas, Mr. Acro, you are still too anxious! Although this child is the host of the Immortal Soul, the power of the Immortal Soul has not yet been fully awakened, and she is powerless to save your lover. And the most important thing at the moment is to help her survive the disaster of this demon invasion!"
"I'll take her out of Jinshui City! A hundred thousand demons can't keep me!" said Akro, a billowing black mist rising from his body, and he was about to perform a transfiguration spell and turn into a black winged dragon that could fly to the sky.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wendy raised her voice and shouted, "No, where my brother is, I will stay there!
"Brother?" Akoro couldn't persecute Wendy, so he had to withdraw the spell.
Lena explained, "This child's brother is the second person you want to protect! If something happens to him, I can't guarantee that this child will not be killed!"
That's when Akoro understood the complexity of the matter. He got up to wipe away his tears, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Humans are such stubborn and stupid creatures...... Alas, forget it, take me to him, the lives of this brother and sister are protected by me for the time being!"
