Chapter 366: The Bride in Red (4k)

For example, the "Necromantic Staff" worth millions of gold coins was placed in Zhao Xu's backpack, although the halfling wanderer opened the side pocket where he placed the spellcasting materials.

However, this still made Zhao Xu angry, so he warned the player who tried to "multi-hand". Even if it was Mistra, he would have called the patrol on the spot to put these players in and punish them.

However, Zhao Xu quickly put this matter behind him and concentrated on wandering around the market.

In the end, he also gained a little, and directly found a few slightly damaged alchemy items, and after a little repair, it would not be a problem to sell them for a few hundred gold coins.

After walking around, Zhao Xu picked a tavern near the auction, planning to wander there now, and inquire by the way.

As he stepped into the tavern and opened the half-hidden door, he noticed that by the nearby willow tree, several children were clapping their hands and playing games according to the tavern lights, and one of them was regarded as the chosen "ghost".

Another group of people was clapping and singing nursery rhymes:

"The bride is dressed in red, lalala, and she goes into the mountains and lakes."

"The bride is dressed in white, lalala, she follows in your footsteps."

"Lalala, who fell, lalala, who was dragged away."

"You're all going to dream of her, and you're all going to belong to her."

The crisp children's voice slowly spread this ballad into Zhao Xu's ears, but he had already walked into the tavern, and the noisy shouting and cheering inside directly covered up the sound of the outside world.

However, Zhao Xu didn't plan to go back and listen to it again, for some reason, according to Zhao Xu's knowledge, nursery rhymes in some places are very evil, and even directly hide local legends.

At this time, the two strong men in the tavern were wrestling their wrists, they were drinking ale, their faces were already a little red, and then they struggled with their whole body, and the flow of blood and qi was accelerated, and their whole faces were flushed.

Zhao Xu, as a rookie with 8 powers, naturally found a corner to sit down, if he mounted a minute-level two-ring "bull power" on himself, after instantly drumming up 4 points of strength, he was barely qualified to participate in the game of wrist wrestling.

It's just that he has long since lost the mentality of a group of friends sitting together drinking and farting in his previous life.

Now that he looks at Arthur's people, there is an invisible barrier.

At this time, after one of the strong men slammed his force and pressed down the thick arm of his opponent, he directly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the atmosphere in the tavern reached a climax at this moment, constantly clinking glasses.

At this time, Zhao Xu felt the "tentacles" behind him faintly and moved slightly.

The tentacle's attack level is determined by the strength attribute stacked on his base attack, and the tap damage is 1-8 points, and then the strength adjustment is stacked.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Xu improves his "strength attribute", it is easy for his tentacles to exert extremely strong attack power, but the damage increases more slowly.

"Wow, it's the Sword Sickness Squad." Suddenly, the atmosphere in the tavern, which had calmed down, became noisy again.

Everyone's eyes were on an elite squad that had just walked into the tavern.

This "Sword Disease" team has a total of seven people, covering a wide range of professions, and there is even a spellcaster class such as Warlock in the team.

The warrior who took the lead, the two-handed giant sword he was carrying, directly emitted a mysterious magical light.

Even if it is a magic weapon, after it is crafted, it will have this kind of light magic-like effect.

"Didn't the Sword Disease Squad take on the task to eradicate that weirdness? Why did you come back all of a sudden? I don't think I haven't fought before."

"Be quiet, even if they really can't beat the bride in red, it's still easy to educate you and me."

A few people who were quietly talking noticed that the eyes of the members of the Sword Disease Team swept over, and they were immediately silenced.

Zhao Xu then stopped for another lap, only to understand that this "Sword Disease Squad" could be regarded as a team of star adventurers in the area near Mystra.

For the mages of the Floating City, most of them are conducting research on the suspended islands.

As for the other low-level mages who graduated, many of them were forces that came to Arthur's other cities, so many returned directly after graduation, and those who did not have power were directly absorbed into the research team.

It is also the lack of talent that will flow out, so that these forces have a chance to be in the pocket. This has also led to the embarrassing situation of Mistra, a town with a high proportion of "mages" and "priests", and the number of adventures involved in these two professions is still very small.

Therefore, this "Sword Disease Squad" made a name for itself under such conditions, and they first completed several bounty tasks by narrowly revitalizing the Mage Guild, and obtained a lot of magic items, so as to slowly snowball and accept more high-level characters.

Eventually, it became the current adventure team with an average of more than six or seven levels. If it weren't for the fact that in this place where the dragon is located, other small towns would have been the guests of the local ruler.

Even so, the Sword Disease Squad was still the target of admiration for this group of low-level adventurers in the tavern, and even these people who feared that the world would not be chaotic did not dare to whistle at the hot and scantily clad female rangers in the team.

"We didn't seem to have so many people last time." Latil, the female ranger of the Sword Disease Squad, looked at the packed tavern in surprise.

"I guess they're all here for tonight's auction, there are a lot of people." The captain, the Warlock Morrow, said, wearing a high-necked emerald green cloak and a slender wand in his hand, and glancing at the people in the tavern but not paying much attention.

At this time, the owner of the tavern also specially greeted him and led the team to an empty semi-open small box.

At this time, Zhao Xu directly approached an elderly mercenary who was already half drunk next to him, and looked at the leather armor on his body that was properly maintained, letting Zhao Xu know that this was a veteran.

Combined with age, it means that you are experienced and knowledgeable.

Zhao Xu asked in a low voice, "Did this Sword Disease Team take on any tasks a few days ago?" Why do people feel strange about them coming back? ”

The old mercenary glanced at Zhao Xu and saw that he was not a local, and muttered, "Just go and catch the bride in red." ”

The bride in red?

Zhao Xu suddenly remembered the nursery rhyme he heard when he first came in, and asked rhetorically, "What is that?" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a whole bundle of undrunk ale in front of his bar.

To be honest, he usually drank too much Corona and the like, and Zhao Xu was not very interested in Arthur's ordinary brewing process in his previous life, but he didn't have the luxury to consume the brewing that was said to be added to the magic process.

The old mercenary who was originally about to hang Zhao Xu's appetite, and then hinted that the other party wanted to give him some wine, saw Zhao Xu like this, he looked around. I found that at this time, the center of the tavern was already leaning towards the sword disease team that had just entered, and many adventurers who believed that they were a little capable went up to be polite at this time.

There is even an adventure team that is also out of town, because he has known the sword disease team before, and at this moment, he went over to share the table on the spot, and then began to fight wine.

Compared with the staggered scene of ordinary banquets, the tavern at this moment is a little more excited under the dim light.

And the old mercenary understood that no one around him was paying attention to this, so he was relieved, and he continued to take another ale on Zhao Xu's table, "Put it down, the next inside story is worth your two bottles of wine." ”

Saying that, the old mercenary directly lowered his voice, "The bride in red is in our Frostdew Town, which refers to a terrifying existence. ”

"Recently, it plundered another girl, so the family commissioned the Sword Sickness Squad who happened to be on a mission in Frostdew Town to search for a few days. Oh, most of the people in this tavern don't know how to pretend to understand. ”

"The Sword Disease Squad was originally invited to serve as security guards during tonight's auction, but they are of a high level, so they only need to show their faces during the official auction. At this time, the other party naturally came over to relax before tonight's auction, and by the way, he also inquired about the information. You see, a bunch of flattering people rushed up to tell them the information. ”

Zhao Xu didn't expect him to ask for such key information when he tied two ales. It is true that sometimes relying solely on the ability of knowledge, skills and anecdotal knowledge, the retrieval of information will be relatively old, and it is impossible to obtain the latest information.

"Then why do you call that terrifying being the bride in red?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but say the word monster.

In his opinion, this kind of demon thing is either an evil camp or a brainless monster, and he is killed with a stick.

"Oh, in the area around Mystra, there is no custom of brides wearing red clothes when they get married." The elderly mercenary said.

At this time, he took out a pipe, lit the kerosene lamp nearby, lit the tobacco in it, and took a deep breath, the whole person showed a lazy look, and then he slowly spoke: "It-".

Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the door of the entire tavern was kicked open.

Suddenly, there were a few "swishs", and several adventurers who were usually in charge of the tavern directly pulled out the weapons in their hands and looked at the people who broke into the door with a look of anger.

They didn't mind teaching such an arrogant drunkard a lesson of a lifetime.

However, as a few people hurried in, most of the warriors who were the first to react to draw their swords sat down obediently.

For no other reason, a young man with a careless face and a little arrogance walked in, at this moment it was already the middle of winter outside, and the cold wind at night couldn't help but blow the cheeks of passers-by.

But the young man's whole body is thin at the moment, and now he doesn't care about the rain and snow in the outside world at all, which means that just this ordinary robe on his body must have a major overview of this stable temperature.

It's just that all the adventurers who want to fight unevenly, or even educate the kid in front of them about what it means to be a man with their tails between their legs, sit down obediently, because this young man in Chinese clothes is followed by a mage who bows his head and is silent.

Although the other party concealed the ring number gilm that he could cast spells. But the momentum of that powerful mage still made everyone in the entire tavern walk on thin ice, and even the sound was a little lower.

At this time, Zhao Xu noticed that after the young man came in, there were four guards behind him, and this time the painting style was more normal.

However, those entourage, in addition to being fully equipped, are also very luxurious, and even the weapons of the four of them are directly white light.

"Oh no, something big is going to happen. Young man, I owe you this time, I don't dare to suggest that you better leave immediately" The old mercenary didn't care about explaining Zhao Xu's confusion at this time, and he didn't even drink the remaining ale wine, and left directly.

Even he didn't dare to go through the most obvious front door, but quietly slipped to the back door of the tavern.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately took out several of his scepter staffs, and was also ready to deal with the next mutation.

At this time, the young man in Chinese costumes, Jiao Erlang, walked directly to the original sword disease team, and then sat down with a swagger.

He looked contemptuously at the only female ranger in the team present and commented: "It's quite hot to be in the body, and with such a workout usual, the physical fitness must be good." ”

Although the words used by the young people did not have any special color, combined with the other party's dress and the place of the tavern, everyone heard the meaning of the young man at this time.

"What do you mean?" The captain, the Warlock Morro, shouted loudly.

He has extremely high charm attributes, but at this time, it looks like he has a halo on his body to outsiders.

"That's what it means." At this time, the young man in Chinese clothes took out a file directly from his pocket and polished his nails boredly, as if he didn't care about the few people in front of him.

In an instant, the entire Sword Disease Squad was in a tense posture, and everyone's hands were pressed on their weapons, looking at the young man in Chinese clothes with murderous intent.

But his eyes couldn't help but look at the mage and the four guards who were in charge of the other party's comfort.

Suddenly, the young man in Chinese clothes looked stunned, and directly slapped the file in his hand on the table, "When the auction was entrusted to you a few days ago, didn't I give you an ordinary magic item as a reward?" ”

"That's right." Captain Moro said that he already had a faint guess at this time, especially that he needed to log in to his account every day to see the login traces.

"That's a relic of my ancestors, do you think it has anything to do with me?" At this time, the young man in Chinese clothes gritted his teeth and said.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the entire tavern suddenly fell silent, constantly thinking about the waves that would be brought by the other party's words.

And Mo Luo, the captain who originally reprimanded the other party with righteous words, thought about several possibilities in an instant, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and he tentatively said: "In this case, we can return the magic item of the ancestor as it is, and then we will withdraw from Frostdew Town and never intervene again." We'll go to the house afterwards to make amends. ”

Mage Family!

The intermediate mage who followed behind the other party had a slight guess, and it was only now that he realized that the tomb that seemed to be unattended was actually the master of that powerful force.

The 100 great mage families, when they are external, are all in one place.

Their team looks beautiful, but they can't withstand the gentle pat of this huge wave at all.

So the captain Moro made a quick decision and gave up all the tasks to gain. As long as the young man in Chinese clothes loosened up slightly, he even apologized on the spot, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

It's just that the young man in Chinese clothes sneered, and he showed a blazing look at the female ranger Luo Tier, who was exposed, "Well, let your team member come and accompany me for one night, and this time the matter will be revealed." ”

The people in the entire tavern were not stupid, and after listening to the words of the captain of the Sword Disease Squad, they already understood that this young man in Chinese costume who suddenly arrived had a great background.

The name of the Mage family, a powerful force that was enough to deter the surrounding Xiaoxiao, suddenly appeared in everyone's hearts, even if they were drunk, they were clever and half-awake.

It's just that for the request of the young man in Washington to kick his nose in the face, even the most domineering adventurer does not dare to come forward and say no.

On the one hand, they knew that tonight's auction would probably be abandoned halfway, and on the other hand, they also knew that the mage who took possession of the reason was extremely terrifying.

Stealing and digging the graves of the ancestors, once you encounter the latter owner, it will naturally be a situation of endless death.

This means that no matter how the other party kills, it is all reasonable.

A mage with a legal license to kill is an unimaginable doom for them.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but mourn for the organizer of the auction for half a minute, and the half-life accumulation was probably all withered tonight.

"Friend, there are some things that don't have to be so embarrassing." Although Mo Luo didn't know why the young man in Chinese clothes opposite didn't settle accounts with the auction first, but asked their group of peripheral personnel to settle the score, but when the matter came, he had to endure the humiliation and explain to the other party with kind words.

At this time, Zhao Xu stood up, the tentacles behind him were a little numb, and he was about to change his posture.

It's just that I didn't expect that the stool under me didn't have any soundproof pads.

There was a sudden uproar, tearing the peace of the entire tavern at the moment.

In an instant, all eyes were on them, and there was no lack of admiration and even admiration.

admired him for being the first to risk death to stand up.

"Heh, the helper is here?" The young man in Chinese clothes sneered, and he leaned directly on the sofa behind him, looking at Zhao Xu for a long time.
