Chapter 1017: An Abnormal Old Drunkard
Chapter 1017 An Abnormal Old Drunkard
"Wow~~ This is really the fortress of demons"
Coming out of the teleportation station, Jeluka couldn't help but show a new expression and exclaim.
The ancient style of the Middle Ages, like steel, is made of huge hard stones, and the water chestnut is clearly distinguished, which is a magnificent fortress that can be built by the wisdom of human beings and the craftsmanship of the dwarves known as craftsmen, shrouded in the gray sky here, like an industrial city polluted by YanzhΓ²ng, full of gloomy and decadent feeling, however, the height of towering in the air for several kilometers or more brings people a sense of pride in the sky city, lightning in the dark clouds, It seems to be flashing on the scalp.
Depressed, gloomy, decadent, masculine, passionate, heroic, it seems that there is no suitable word to describe the feeling of coming to the fortress of demons for the first time, but as long as you set foot on this land, even a docile person will have blood and courage in their hearts, this is the unique charm that God has given to the fortress of demons.
"Have you seen enough, let's go."
Seeing that Jeluka looked around intently like a curious child, reaching out to the stone pillar wall from time to time, caressing on it, I wonder if she can feel the bloody history left by the years from those delicate fingertips.
"Hahahaha, boy, you just came here, speaking of which, you seem to be very fresh, I haven't seen it before."
At this moment, another group of adventurers emerged from the teleportation station, one of them wearing heavy armor and carrying an axe on his shoulder, and laughed grinning roughly.
The gray air on the demon fortress made the figures of this group of adventurers blurred, and when you looked a little farther away, you could only hear as if a few fierce beasts lurking in the shadows, squinting their eyes and letting out a long breath, as long as there was a wind and grass, they would immediately open their fangs from the darkness, showing a terrifying momentum.
Even wizards who are known for their mild-manneredness will be affected by the unique environment here in the Demon Fortress, and become a beast-like character, the Demon Fortress is really a good place to train Predators, the folk customs here are dozens of times stronger than other areas, and a child can face a ferocious hell monster without blinking, which is not possible in other places, even those big men who often clap their chests and brag about themselves in bars.
Of the seven members of the team, only the barbarians walked over, and the heavy sound of each step forward was like that of a giant beast covered in steel armor, and the hard stone ground blessed by magic could be felt trembling slightly.
The other six stood in the distance, shrouded in the gray air, standing still in a small circle, bowing their heads and whispering to themselves, showing the vigilance and arrogance of the adventurer in the face of strangers.
No matter who it is, here in the Demon Fortress, the spirit will always be in a kind of excitement during battle, so the adventurers of the Demon Fortress are often more vigilant than the adventurers in other areas, and they seem to be quite helpless to the random conversation of the barbarians.
"Really? Brother, how long have you been in the Demon Fortress? β
I smiled disappreciatively at the other six, and greeted the barbarian.
"Well, it's been almost a year, and it's not an old bird here, so I don't seem to have seen your face in Curastri before, boy, you're suspicious."
"Really?"
I laughed even more, this guy was too blunt, I seemed to feel the six of his teammates not far away who were watching the conversation from time to time rolling their eyes.
"Probably because my team often goes out to practice, and we work hard, we rarely go back to Curast, and I haven't seen you either, man."
I replied like this, saying that there is no complete team, and sometimes it is embarrassing, when will Carlos Seattlek and Sister Sharna be brought back?
"What? You haven't even heard of our famous Seven Dark Squads? β
The barbarian stared at the fierce eyes like brass bells, and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.
"That...... Sorry, I haven't heard of this name, but the five-color clan has heard of it. β
I muttered quietly, and suddenly remembered the five-color team I met when I was drinking at the Kurast Bar, when the yellow maid was drinking, it was still fresh in my memory, there were a lot of fools in these years, but the adventure team composed of all fools was the first time I saw it, uh-huh.
"What? Five-color clan? β
Hearing me say this, the barbarian suddenly became even more grieved.
"You're talking about that group of bastards, in order to take advantage of the popularity of our team, shamelessly took a similar name, and then relied on a stupid stupidity to make a name for himself in Kurast, so as to increase the negative popularity"
"No...... However, it is said that it borrowed your popularity, but what is the similarity? "I was blindsided.
"Do you need to ask?"
With his hands clasped heavily, the heavy steel armor made a terrifying clang, and the barbarian replied decisively.
"Because of the name, the first one in front is a number, isn't this a naked impersonation?"
ββ¦β¦β
If this is counted, wouldn't the Four Demon Kings and the Three Demon Gods also have to fight to the death for their nicknames?
However, when I knew that the adventurous team in front of me seemed to have some strange connection with the stupid five-color team.
"Hmph, forget it, you won't understand this kind of thing even if you sue sΓΉ, but, since you know those five fools, it's probably true that Kurast is here, speaking of which, if I'm right, those five guys should have come to the Demon Fortress last month, what happened?"
"That's ......"
I briefly talked about the matter on Kurast's side, with the help of crystal shards, now, Kurast has become the best and most comfortable place to hone, and it is reasonable that the five-color team wants to stay and hone their skills.
"So that's the case, so why don't you stay and come at such a time?"
The barbarian asked suddenly.
"Huh? I thought it would be nice to come to the Demon Fortress to hone it, and it wouldn't be fun to rob those elves, so I came over. β
I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect that this seemingly thick barbarian, who also had a careful side, actually noticed this, but it was not too difficult to fool the past, so I answered casually.
"Ahahahaha, good boy, he has more backbone than those fools, and it is also a wise choice, if you take this time, you don't have to worry about the Jin District task being preempted by other teams."
It seems to be praised by this big man, I smiled along, the so-called Jin District Mission, some people call it that, to put it bluntly, it is the task that must be completed before going from Kurast to the Demon Fortress, and it is also to kill Mephisto, because it takes a long time for the Demon God clone to be resurrected once, and in ordinary times, there may be a situation where others have to wait for some days to be preempted.
Indeed, at this time, there is no need to worry about Mephisto being robbed by other adventure teams, but unfortunately, this barbarian brother would never have imagined that Mephisto was not robbed by adventurers, but by Selson, the regeneration demon, and it is impossible for other adventure teams, even if they want to take advantage of this rare opportunity that everyone else is busy honing and completing the Jin District task first.
"However, although the courage is commendable, the monsters of the Demon Fortress are not as easy as you imagined, you have also walked through the Kurast and the Demon Fortress in the first world, you should know the difference, if you want to deal with the crystal fragment incident here, the team that has just come here is still too tender, let's get used to it first, ahhahahaha~~~~~"
"Uh, okay."
Although this barbarian brother spoke a little more bluntly, it was not very good, but this kindness was built in my heart, indeed, for an adventurous team that had just arrived here, if they wanted to deal with those demonized monsters that were close to elite strength, it was no different from looking for death.
"Then again, what about your team? Why only see you, don't sue me that guy too. β
The barbarian's eyes rolled around, and finally fell on Jeluka, who was carrying him on his back, leaving only a long purple hair, and Jeluka, who was dressed in a dignified and beautiful maid's suit, like a curious baby, and she didn't look like an adventurer, I told her before leaving, at least put on a cloak, bastard
Ah, speaking of which, I seem to remember one thing, this yellow maid seems to have borrowed a cloak from me last time, and I haven't returned it yet, I haven't returned it, bastard, it was made to me by Veras himself, although there are still dozens of pieces on my body and thousands of pieces at home, but it is not a precious thing that can be given away lightly
The barbarian's brow furrowed, his unique aesthetic prevented him from immediately being overwhelmed by Jeluka's dignified beauty, and the pointed ears characteristic of the elves made him have a thoughtful expression.
"Elven teammates are really rare."
"Ahem, Geluka."
I coughed a few times and pulled Jeluka who was in curious baby mode hard, "Hey, aren't you awake?" You've been underestimated by others.
As if sensing the existence of the barbarian, Jeluka raised her head blankly and glanced at the huge barbarian who stood in front of her as if she were about two years tall.
Stare at~~~~~~~
Barbarian: "......"
"Human, what's the matter?"
Suddenly, the momentum changed, the sword of the rising sun didn't know when it was held in her arms, her expression was upright, and a majestic and righteous aura emanated from the yellow maid, and her purple eyes were like the sword of the rising sun in her hand, flashing with a noble and dignified light.
It's so good to fit
No wonder I can deceive other elves, I was almost frightened by the image and momentum of the knight that Jeluka now seems to be pure, when she was in Kurast, she has not shown this appearance, it seems, she wants to give the barbarian brother in front of her who underestimated her a dismount, no wonder others will underestimate it, obviously she herself just put on a childish appearance to make people misunderstand, this guy, is really super ~~~~~~~~~~~~unreasonable and cautious
Actually, it's pretty cute, huh.
"Woo~~~Woo~~~~"
The overwhelming momentum emanating from Jelluka's body, as well as the strong contrast with her previous appearance, caused the barbarian to swallow a mouthful of saliva dryly, and let out a mournful cry of unknown meaning from his throat.
"If not, please forgive me for missing me."
Obviously nearly half shorter than the barbarian, but as if looking down on the other party condescendingly, after saying this indifferently, Jeluka put away the greatsword, turned away, and continued her research.
"Recently...... Dual personalities are not a little too much. β
After a while, the savage who was stunned by Jeluka spoke with difficulty, and the strong contrast between before and after, who was not very familiar with Jeluka, could not see that most of her words and deeds were acted, in fact, there was only one ontology - that is, the timid and stupid maid, anyone who saw the scene just now would think that she was a guy with a double or multiple personality.
Luckily, adventurers with multiple personalities aren't rare animals either.
"Yes...... yes, no way. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and echoed.
"It's hard to take care of such teammates, right, but the strength is really strong, maybe you can really give it a try."
The barbarian patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Let's go first, my teammates are still waiting."
Then, he casually turned his back to this side and beckoned: "By the way, I almost forgot what I said, my team is called the Seven Dark Squad, I already knew it just now, and I, my name is Turesa, if there is anything, come to the Simba Hotel to find it, by the way, I attach a message, the hunting operation will start in three or four days, your team may as well take this opportunity to get used to it." β
With that, the backs of him and the other six disappeared into the fog like ghosts.
"Let's go too."
Turning around, I decisively struck a knife on the forehead of the maid of Huang Duanzi, woke her up, and strode into the straight street in front of me.
"Hmph, it must be in a hurry to plunder the beauty of a new place again, a guy like His Royal Highness the Prince, it would be good if he was kicked to death by 10,000 horses."
Holding Jeluka, who was slightly reddened on her forehead, caught up behind with tears in her eyes, and muttered.
ββ¦β¦β
It turned out that I was already the 10,000-fold Duke of the Beast, and for some reason, anger suddenly broke out of my heart, and an inexplicable sense of pride arose.
According to what Akara said, let's go to the person in charge of the Demon Fortress area, and then turn out the old drunkard, anyway, that old woman must be drunk in which bar now.
I'll take a look, I remember asking me to find a blacksmith named Glio, what does this guy have to do with Helbu of the First World Demon Fortress? Brothers? Enemy? Friends? The comparison of the names of the two is really painful.
After going around several times and asking for directions in the gray fortress full of medieval style, we finally found Glio's blacksmith shop, which can do blacksmith business in places infested by dwarves, which shows that this guy does have some skills.
There was only a huge exercise furnace and a few hammer tools that had been thrown aside, but the Glio was not there, and when I looked inside the shop, I suddenly heard a familiar sound of trying to beat people.
"Thanks to the presence of His Excellency Elder, the Demon Fortress has been able to survive the greatest crisis."
"Whereever, that's my job."
"Oh, by the way, I still have a jar of good wine here, would you like a few glasses of your Excellency Elder?"
"Your kindness is appreciated, but I still have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and it is inconvenient to drink."
ββ¦β¦β
I...... Are I hallucinating in my ears?
At this moment, I felt as if I had seen Finney pick up a gold coin on the road, full of shock and disbelief.
"Oh, it's Wu Boy's breath, it seems that he has already come, why don't you come in?"
I walked into the room inside the store step by step, and saw a bearded uncle with a stiff smile and almost collapsed, and then, with his back to him, like the hero who had just appeared in the anime, with his back to him, like the hero who had just appeared in the anime.
"Wu, you're finally here."
After settling his position, the guy turned his head and smiled mildly as an elder.
"Ahhh
In an instant, I covered my eyes and screamed, rolling all over the ground, blinding my dog's eyes, how could that old drunkard, that old woman, show such a disgusting smile, do you believe it? I'd rather believe that the Three Demon Gods would come to their senses and run to farming
"Oh, Wu, what's wrong with you? Got your eyes in the sand? I'll blow it off for you. β
The old drunkard, who came up with a disgusting smile on his face, lifted me up without saying a word, turned his back to Glio, and raised two fingers to my eyes......
"Whoa, whoa, whoaβ"
This time it was a howl of pain, bleeding, bleeding eyes, this bastard...... This old woman actually ...... However, this is her style, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in addition to the pain.
To be honest, the serious old drunkard just now was really creepy, and the pain in his eyes was nothing compared to mental torture.
Forced to a chair by the old drunkard, the old drunkard turned his head with an almost evil light in his eyes.
"Glio, let me introduce you, this is Elder Wu Fan, the next person who will defend the Demon Fortress in my place."
"Yes, is that so? Elder Kasha has really worked hard. β
Under Kasya's gaze, Glio trembled like a mouse cornered by a cat.
"Wherever and where, it is only my duty to serve the people, as long as I think of such a great task on my shoulders, the blood on my body, I can't help but boil, yes, love and peace, justice and glory, will be with the alliance."
Like a hot-blooded male protagonist in the sunset on the beach, Kasha stepped on the reef (chair) with one foot, facing the oncoming giant*, and preached with a leaky point.
Looking at the tall and completely perverted back of the old drunkard at sunset, Glio and I were like two stones on the beach, cowering in one corner and chattering with our teeth.
"This guy got a rock on the head?"
I pointed to the old drunkard who was still agitating the declaration, and asked secretly.
Glio shook his head.
"That's caught in the door?"
Glio shook his head anyway.
"That must have been something strange." I clapped my palms.
"No, all in all, it's really good that Elder Fan can come in time, otherwise, in the face of such an Elder Kasha, I am really about to collapse."
Glio said with a crying voice, what is it that can make such a big man cry, recalling his blind behavior just now, I suddenly empathize.
"That's right, in order to carry out love and justice, what is the value of hard work, in order to create a paradise of peace, even if the armor is dyed red, for the glory of the alliance, even if you sacrifice yourself, you have no hesitation, for the sake of 5,000 gold coins, in order to be able to eat, drink and be merry until the birthday of the gods, even if you endure it and don't drink for the time being, then it's ...... Goo Wow~~~Wine~~~~Wine~~~~"
ββ¦β¦β
When I saw the mention of the word "wine", I immediately felt like a fish without water, pinching my throat and rolling on the ground, an old drunkard who was constantly struggling between reason and **, Glio and I couldn't help but look out the window.
This old woman completely exposed the ugly purpose in her heart.
"Come, Greo, write down what you just said, write it down on stationery, and let me take it back."
Suddenly, he stood up straight from the ground like a zombie, his eyes were bloodshot, and he staggered to Glio, and the old drunkard put a blank piece of paper and a spear in front of Glio.
"Hey, you're a threat, I'm going to sue Grandma Akara." I protested dissatisfied.
"Shut up, boy Wu, that eye of yours sees that I'm threatening Glio."
"Both eyes see it, you see it, bastard"
"Forget it, Elder Kasha has indeed done a very good job in the past half month."
Glio smiled wryly and wrote something on a piece of paper, stamped it a moment later, and handed it to the old drunkard.
"Well, that's good."
The old drunkard glanced at it, nodded his head, and suddenly his eyes widened and he muttered.
"Do you mean...... Finally liberated? β
Raising his head suddenly, his bloodshot eyes scanning the entire room, finally resting on the jar of wine that Glio had brought out, a loud grunt sounded in the silent room.
Then, with a sigh, no one saw how the old drunkard had disappeared, and in a word, she and the altar disappeared into the room.
"We ...... Did you release a beast out of its cage? Looking out the door, I muttered to myself.
The entire demon fortress is afraid that they will tremble for the old drunkard who has been hungry and thirsty for half a month.
"At least...... It's better than putting her in the same cage as yourself. β
Glio pondered for a moment, then uttered a very contemplative answer.
"Alliance Elder, Druid Wu Fan."
"Head of the Demon Fortress, Blacksmith Glio."
The men who had experienced the "battlefield" together held their big hands together and laughed.
"Don't worry, that guy won't be happy for long." Suddenly remembering something, I clapped my palms with joy.
"That guy, I owe almost 5,000 gold coins in the camp bar, I understand what Akara *** means, in the end, she still can't get a penny."
With a few gloating laughs, I continued.
"Also, after being liberated from the mission, that guy is now completely indulgent, and he will definitely owe a lot of money for drinks in the Demon Fortress, so even if Grandma Akara agrees to give her a vacation from the completion of the mission to the god's birthday, she will have to continue to accept the call in order to repay the money."
"High, Grand Elder Akara is really high."
When Glio heard this, he couldn't help but show admiration, the old fox simply counted the old drunkard's every move.
"By the way, didn't that guy come to you to sell equipment?"
I suddenly asked, since the old drunkard is so embarrassed at hand, then he should take advantage of this man's opportunity to make a big deal, it's just in the camp, with the old drunkard's level of 78, even if the monsters of the entire Rogue grassland are killed, they may not be able to break out anything, but here it is different, the monsters of the demon fortress, and the third-world monsters brought by the crystal fragments, the level is not low, enough for her to get a normal explosion rate, with her skills, even if she kills the doppelganger of the big pineapple in three or two clicks, It's not that difficult.
"Nope. Elder Kasha hadn't sold anything to me. Glio shook his head.
"Did Grandma Akara give some ban? For example, an order prohibiting trading with that guy or something. β
"No, the Great Elder didn't issue such a ban." Glio shook his head again.
"Then it's strange, why does that guy ......," I muttered to myself.
"I'm afraid, it's Elder Kasha himself, who has very important principles."
"Principle, that guy?"
I blinked in disbelief, Principle and the old drunkard, can the two really be next to each other?
There are many stories behind the old drunkard, and I know that the old drunkard regards alcohol as a kind of motivation for survival, and I can guess it a little, but I can't imagine that a guy like that can regard this kind of thing as an irreversible principle.
What kind of Cheng dΓΉ did she have to do this, regard wine as the only driving force, and then set such a boring principle......
Asking for a monthly pass, asking for a recommendation, it seems that I only asked for it at the beginning of the month, and I really failed......
