You shouted along with the atmosphere: "Long live the Red Dragon Empress, long live, long live!" and at the same time whispered: "Quick, heal the wound on her buttocks that was pierced by a harpoon, and her skirt is red." ”

Tong En quickly complied, and quietly performed a "healing of minor injuries", making the red-haired woman who was being worshipped look even more flawless - heroes need to be flawless, especially when pretending.

Coughing lightly, Hong's serious tone brooked no question:

"I'm here to help you humans, not for free. After a few seconds of pause, he deliberately stared at the market guards and miners, and then added, "Offer me a gem worth your life, humans." ”

You hold your forehead.

I thought the redhead was here to pretend to be forced, but it turned out to be for a more realistic purpose. It's too late to say anything, because the redhead has already entered the play, and you guys are also touting it, and the raw gem mine loaded with a whole mine cart is being pushed out by the workers. This is considered a robbery while the fire is still a serious request for payment, under the lies of the Red Dragon Empress, it is really difficult to determine.

The redhead laughed, said three good words in a row, and then pointed at Tong En: "You, my servant, go and bring these gems back to the lair!"

Yes, Empress.

Without hesitation, Tong En took out a magic bag with a space compression effect, and filled all the gems of a whole minecart into it! If these gems were the workers' own, they would definitely not agree so happily, but they are just wage earners, and these gems belong to the market; if the redhead is just going to collect a wave of prestige and worship, he probably won't secretly say to you, "Okay, let's withdraw?" If the real red dragon appears, it doesn't seem to collect any rough raw ore.

"Humans, run for your life as soon as possible, I won't be kind enough to save you a second time. With that, the redhead pressed his excitement, suppressed his speed, secretly tugged at your sleeve, and whispered, "Don't withdraw yet, are you waiting for the fight to start?"

Oh, yes

Why did you think that Octalia would be for the purpose of worship and prestige in the first place? a neutral and chaotic guy would not be so kind to save people without expecting anything in return......

Oh, yes

While you know that Tong En is a "prepared" guy, even she admits it, it's a bit too much to carry around three compressed magic bags for gems, isn't it?

Amid cheers and gratitude, you walked faster and faster, almost escaping the mines, turning and disappearing behind the rock wall.

It wasn't a successful rescue, because there were so many casualties in the mine, and it would be nice if there weren't any deaths. But it was a successful deception.

Elizabeth was the happiest, and she trotted to take an egg-sized red gem from Tong En's hand: "It's so beautiful, this is a ruby, isn't it?

Tong En said: "As soon as you look at this transparency, you know that it is definitely not a ruby. As she spoke, she took out a dirty broken stone like a bruise, "That's it, pretty, isn't it?"

Elizabeth threw back the things in her hand and pouted, "Sell for money?"

"I came here. Octalia reiterated.

"Share the spoils, without everyone's spells and cooperation, you can't even get a pebble. ”

"Let's join the guild pool. There are too many spells that require gem materials. Tong En stared at a piece of diamond ore in his hand, "Resurrection, restoration, and other magic techniques all need diamonds—extremely expensive diamonds. President, we should find a gemmatist to polish it and use it as a spellcasting material. Gold can't be used as a spell casting material, the temples in the Bay of Five Lanes are not much different from the ruins, and if we want to be resurrected, we need a lot of gems. "Gem craftsmen who don't take the initiative to find death.

"I don't have the ability to perform a full resurrection, but I can cast a normal resurrection spell and then tinker to eliminate the two negative levels that are caused by each resurrection. Blade Shield has an oil bottle that I can heal him, but it requires at least 500 gold worth of diamonds, two. A second treatment can be completed after a week. "In Tong En's hands, diamonds mean the equivalent of human lives.

Theoretically, Tong Eun can even cast a "limited prayer".

What else could she not do?

......

Tong En blinked and replied solemnly: "When I was fighting, I was a waste. ”

"I can assist, I can heal, I can shout cheers, but because I used to work with the mercenaries, I fell into the hands of Goblin, Succubus, and Fear of Body, and I was humiliated and chopped up three times, and I was in pain and in debt. Luck blew up, and I was resurrected three times, but the resurrection was still an unusually painful process, and finally I came to the conclusion that no matter how high the mortal rank was, it was futile. My mind is now confused when I see the enemy pounce on me or even meet my eyes. To be precise, when I face my opponent, all spells and gestures are thrown out of order, and the cast failure rate increases by 40%, all thanks to the Ring of Valor...... My spells weren't very powerful in the first place. ”

Isn't that ......

Are you scared of death?

Under the effect of the "indifference technique", her face really didn't change when she said this, and her heart didn't beat. is also a talent with a story, and even the way of death refuses to be monotonous.

As you talk, you follow the road to a reef beach.

Vertical wooden sign: "Rent a mermaid, swim with three golds"

But there is no half-figure around.

"Cisse!" the redhead shouted a few times at the top of his voice, then sat there for a few more minutes before a male mermaid appeared with a spray. He may be "Cisse", who is looking at you from afar vigilantly, and has not spoken for a long time.

When you show him the amulet necklace, he immediately rolls over and disappears into the water. Just when you thought he would never come back, Cisse surfaced with three companions.

"Hello, Terran, I am Cisse. Did Tracey tell you to come? If you're going to Mermaid Village, come up. He pointed to his back.

The four merfolk males looked stronger than usual, with daggers hanging from several leather straps, and refined tridents that emitted a faint magical aura. Cisse looked like the leader, with a piece of armor made of many hard shells tied to his left shoulder.

The red-haired desperate looked up to the sky and sighed: "...... again?" But after hugging the handsome mermaid, his mood instantly improved, and his smile was quite bright.

Tong En also hugged the neck of one of the mermaids, turned his head and asked Cisse, "What's the situation now?"

"We don't know, everything happened very suddenly! The Shark Shark Man suddenly invaded like some vicious stimulus, not even the two pirate dens on the coastline, even our village, which was supposed to be at peace forever. Although they have always attacked any living thing, today they are particularly brazen. ”

Originally, as one of the tourist attractions, they were responsible for carrying tourists from other places to swim in the relatively safe inland sea, but a large number of sharks suddenly appeared, chased and killed them, and the tourists also dispersed in a hurry. God knows why, so Cisse and the other merfolk used their natural high speed to shake off the shark man, picked up the hidden trident from the coral reef, and launched a counterattack. Luckily, the number of enemies chasing them was small - there was little hope that they would be able to catch up with the adult merfolk from the beginning.

"Could it be that there are powerful predators and they are driven ashore?"

"No, at least we didn't. If a monster such as a giant squid does appear, we will not be spared. Moreover, they look well-equipped and neatly arranged. ”

Tong En fell into deep thought, realizing that you were staring at her, and then explained that the Shark Bloom people in Five Lanes Bay must have signed some kind of secret pact with the market and pirates, maintaining a certain level of balanced coexistence, and fighting no more than a certain limit. A sudden large-scale attack, in which there must be a major conspiracy and the mastermind behind it!

fear

Five Lane Bay is about to change.

"Uh, this lady, aren't you coming up?"

"I'll swim on my own. ”

Elizabeth smiled and jumped into the water, transforming into a female mermaid she had seen in the dark streets. She threw up her long hair and smiled wickedly, making the handsome mermaid next to her, who was supposed to be in charge of carrying her, blush.

A surprising scene. Is that okay?

Tong En recited emotionlessly, "Merfolk are medium-sized humanoids. Shapeshifters can change their bodies to transform into any other medium-sized humanoid, including rare individuals, and gain racial perks of the corresponding physical range. But they ......"

belch

You find Elizabeth holding her maid outfit in her arms, with only a few seaweeds in front of her to cover her shame. "But they can't actually conjure up any equipment. Tong En said that, and was taken into the sea by the mermaid. So, is this the truth about the mermaid handsome guy blushing?

Usually, when Elizabeth transforms into someone else, she uses illusions to temporarily change her clothes. In order to facilitate her assassination, the Speaker's cousin was equipped with magic props, which could be disguised three times a day, temporarily.

After entering the sea,

You follow the coral-dense area at high speed against the bottom of the sea.

Merfolk are the fastest species in the sea, even with you on their backs...... With moving left and right up and down at high speed, you're a bit seasick. Looks like Octalia wants to throw up too. Under the effect of "breathing in water", if you vomit in the sea, will you leave a colorful diving route?

The redhead may have been a little overwhelmed and cried out in pain, "Why are we swimming such a circuit?"

"To avoid the shark man. You're almost there, do you see that cliff under the sea?" Cisse pointed to a vertical rock far ahead. But instead of swimming with his brothers in front of the brightly lit cliff, he went around to the back of the cliff, where there was nothing.

You stopped in front of the rock wall, and the entrance to the merfolk village, a cavern beneath the sea, was far away in the other direction.

Redhead knows,

Redhead understood,

The redhead understands why he is here, in order to free himself! So the redhead vomits, causing gastric juice and squid whiskers to float everywhere, and the scene is terrifying.

Tong En asks if you want a spell to cure seasickness, and what else she didn't prepare?

Cisse seemed to be looking for something near the rock face, and whatever it was hidden.

suddenly

Three or four large barracuda skimmed by you in the distance! Leia immediately pointed at the barracuda and shouted to you, it's the sea fairy, her close relative!

Each of the large barracudas was ridden by two small creatures that looked like Picos, but they had no wings, beautiful faces, and small gills near their ears. They swam at high speed to the entrance of the mermaid village on a ferocious barracuda, and at the same time clung to a small, uniquely shaped light crossbow, looking murderous.

The sea fairies have apparently spotted you as well, but have no intention of approaching.

"What's going on? Why do sea fairies have weapons?"

"They hate the shark people, especially today, the shark people are too fierce. ”

"It's so small, can you beat it?"

"Of course you can't fight, Pik Spirit, Sea Fairy, or any kind of fairy spirit are not suitable for fighting, but they are basically good at sleeping. The Sea Faerie's bolts are coated with a unique Sleepy Poison to provide a slight ward off the Shark Fishmen. The handsome mermaid pointed into the distance and said, "The shark man in the sea is completely different from when he came ashore. Did you see those sharks and rays, that is the war pet that the regular shark man must bring on the march. Sea wolves (barracudas) are fierce, but how can they beat sharks and manta rays?"

Sean suddenly shouted, "Found it!"

With that, he pulled out the seaweed, pointed to the barnacle-covered rock wall, where there was nothing, and said, "This secret passage can penetrate the rock wall and go directly to the airy area of our village. It is said that only members of the "Adventurer's Guild" can enter, and we can't enter. I can't remember how many times there were restrictions on use...... Four or five times?"

What the?

What's four or five times?

Tong En reached out and touched the rock wall: "Lord Grow, this is the 'Phase Gate' of the Level 7 spell, it seems that someone has been staying here for many years in advance, and the conditions have been stipulated. Originally, it should have been able to allow at least seven uses, but if the facility practitioner himself had traveled back and forth, then there would only be five uses left. Five times, only two people are allowed to enter and exit. ”

Do you have to choose an entourage?

Actually, no, with Tong En here, she can also open another "phase gate" to take you back the way you came. In the worst-case scenario, just open the portal and go back to the guild. So go all-in!

The red-haired stared at the location of the "Phase Gate", and the corners of his mouth twitched: "How do you know that we are the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Isn't it?" Cisse was stunned and asked rhetorically, "but Tracey said that one day someone from the Adventurers' Guild with a dolphin necklace would come to help us. ”

The sound of the sea was far away, and although it was not very audible, there seemed to be a battle breaking out at the entrance of the mermaid village. This kind of movement is not caused by the small sea fairy spirit. Octalia said an explosion was heard.

Please!—After saying that, Cisse and the other mermaid handsome men clenched their tridents and flicked their tails, turned around and swam at high speed in the direction where the battle broke out.

"Let's figure out why the shark man was suddenly stimulated. Tong En raised his hand and motioned for Octalia to advance to the "Phase Gate", and the latter muttered, "Why me again?"

Complaining to complaining, the redhead still walked generously into the rock wall that seemed to be nothing, and disappeared without a trace. She quickly reached out a hand and waved it to signal safety for you to hurry in.

You bow your head and get in.

The hidden "phase gate" is a spiritual passage through the thick rock wall. The moment you enter this place, you realize that you are no longer on the main material plane, even though it looks like this is just an ordinary undersea tunnel, and the surrounding rock walls seem to be unusually neat.

There was no discomfort, and the exit at the other end seemed to be a hundred meters away.

The redhead pulled out his melee weapon—a metal stick with a horizontal spike that looked like a climbing ram and more like a burning stick—and slowly walked ahead. She has the highest melee ability in Rainbow Shadows, so she is used to being the first to open the way, and the Tattoo Warlock is the second most responsible for the tail wrap.

Therefore, Elizabeth should be in charge of the tail at this moment, but after Tong En came in, Elizabeth did not appear for a long time.

Tong En poked his head out and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I ...... Can't get in. Elizabeth looked embarrassed. I don't know if she was not a member of the guild because of her race, or if she was not a member of the guild as a maid, she was rejected outside the "phase gate", "I'll wait here, don't worry about me, you guys who are in the way aren't here, if something happens, I can escape more easily." ”

- So, Tong En will report to you.

You know

Elizabeth will not appear in front of you again. Even though it's sudden, now is the perfect time for her to leave you.

You also poke your head out of the "phase gate" and stare at Elizabeth with a confused face.

She smiled and asked, "Why, aren't you in a hurry to go to the mermaid village to save people?"

Maybe you're thinking too much, maybe she's too good at pretending, and no one can be sure.

What are you going to say?

A, a word of reply.

B, you are not here to save people with a lot of kindness, but there are more realistic reasons that will be explained later.

C, ask her if she is short of money (pay immediately)

D, ask her if she is short of money (go back to the guild to pay)

E, express my heartfelt thanks to her, and take care.

F, unpleasantly hinted that the shapeshifters were all good at deception, and none of them were worth believing.
