With that, his gaze swept over the adventurers' faces again.

The city lord's gaze went from left to right, the facial expression of the crow was still hidden under the black hood, and the three "normal people" of Thea, Urs and Stone Fist were obviously in a state of surprise, the subtle difference was that the silver-haired wolf-eared girl and the half-orc warrior monk were really surprised, not to mention the organizational language to answer the mage city lord's question just now, even the series of information mentioned by the latter before could not be quickly digested and understood.

After all, those things, the cult that summons evil gods? The secret party that saves the world? That's an exaggeration, isn't it......

Perhaps such a story should be put in the mouth of some bard, or a mother's bedside story for her child, with a happy ending of the triumph of good over evil, which is an inspirational allegory of praise for good.

As a result, Xia and Shifist's expressions were a little dull for a while.

The black-haired young man was a little better than the two, and the point of surprise was that he, who had the memories of his previous life, had never known about the existence of this secret party.

Should I say yes, is this event part of the main plot that was cut before the game was officially launched?

Urs believed that most of the things he knew and predicted through the memories of his previous life should still be applicable to this life, and that the slightest deviation in the development of the world line was acceptable in his original plan, but he did not expect the specific content of this deviation to be so ...... Shocking?

Yes, shocking...... Compared with the shock that Thea and Stonefist felt, he felt more "shock", because as a person who had come from a previous life, he understood what Victor meantow meant.

It was indeed an unrewarding honor, or the greatest reward, to witness the world they guarded continue to function in a normal state. If the Cult of Doom symbolizes the image of the Destroyer, the Blood of the Source acts as a countervailer—if what Victor tells his party is true, unlike a drunken tavern poet running a train with his mouth full of mouths.

Urs pondered, recovering from the shock, silently trying to recall something from his head......

The mage's gaze finally fell on the dwarven warrior's horned helmet's face.

Koto met the gaze that fell on his eyes, his fluffy beard shook a few times with his half-open and closed mouth, and after a while, as if feeling a sign of a mission, he slapped the table, got up from his position, and clenched his fists and said: "Where evil appears, where the warrior's axe and hammer appear!" The warriors of the clan have long been enlightened! ”

He would have mistaken the mage's mind, just as the mage had mistaken his mind not long ago.

Victor snorted at his simple integrity, and shook the head of the dragon's head upside down with the enchanted iron bucket upside down, as if to say, "You have defeated me, brave warrior, in a sense." ”

Then, the mage city lord took a slight deep breath and slowly exhaled, responding to the dwarf's enthusiasm simply and straightforwardly: "No, you are not ready to be enlightened, brave warrior. None of you are prepared to understand why this wonderful world needs you to be saved, otherwise who do you think you are? A hero in a saga? Savior? Born with the fate of defeating the Great Demon King who is obediently waiting for you to run to challenge? ”

"I'm ......" the dwarf blinked, stunned by the mage's "cannon".

"Koto, sit down first." Urs had to speak out again to signal his dwarven friend to be quiet.

His righteousness is too abundant, and sometimes he needs to be combined with calm self-control to find the best way to express himself, but in the end he is still much better than some of the stunned green saint warriors in the church......

The paladin, who is young and mature, and has a lot of strength, not counting what he saw and heard in the previous life, Urs in this life only knows one person, that is, the noble lord of the empire for whom he and Thea have served together for a long time, and the Earl of the Northlands, who is basically the same age as him and the girl - Kevin Stun.

Urs doesn't like the feeling of surrendering to a certain object, and choosing to swear to follow the god of war Wall is forced by circumstances, and Wall's belief concept is actually very recognized by him - not to mention that because the gods of Castano are bound by Vaughans's law and cannot use divine power to directly interfere with the main material plane, the god voters on the continent are basically "free-range", as long as they don't do anything too contrary to the concept of believing in gods, they will not lose their voter rewards.

The freedom of stocking is nice, and Wall's absolute neutrality means that the god of war's electorate generally doesn't lose his voter reward as long as he's not an undesirable slayer.

As for Kevin, the Count of the Northland, who fulfilled the duties of a paladin and a noble lord at the same time, gave the young man a very peculiar feeling, even if he had contact with him in the course of the mission and cooperated in the war against Byron Tas in the previous life, the young man still couldn't help but sigh that the lord who was not a few years older than himself was really not the own son of an official designer?

At a young age, he inherited his deceased father's knighthood and became a lord, with an eclectic personality and flexibility while abiding by the precepts of the Paladin. Power and virtue are shared, handsome and resourceful, personal strength is strong, and there is a sister in addition to all kinds of advantages...... Uh, no, there's also a Holy Avenger who recognizes him as its bearer!

Although he eventually died young in the "Sunset" version of the plot chapter, and unfortunately died in the epic war that stopped the invasion of the undead, the ending of the character is really not good.

Sunset ...... Thinking back to the version of the game that was a scourge for the players of the good faction, Urs couldn't help but wonder if the secret party called the Blood of the Origin could be an opportunity to change everything.

According to the timeline of the game version, it should still be "the long night is coming" at this time, and it will be at the end of the year of the candle fire, that is, at the end of this year, it will officially enter the plot chapter of "Sunset Afterglow", not to mention the "Eternal Darkness Havoc", which is still far away.

The young man pondered the possibilities, though he was not very good at analyzing complex problems like a wise mage......

Victor looked at the crowd and then spoke: "Heroes are not something that can be done casually, ladies and gentlemen, I am not trying to win you into the gang when I tell you about the secret party...... The second thing that comes after is what you need to focus on. ”

As the words fell, the Dragon Vein Mage shifted his body and revealed a metal ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and held it as if by magic—an angular black ore appeared in his palm.

That's the artifact in the shape of a square trioctahedron!

And then there's the ring—a spatial ring, a magic storage tool that's more advanced and convenient than the dimensional bag, and that's usually only in the hands of mid- to high-level mages.

Adventurers have one thing in common, that is, they can often recognize well-known magical items at a glance, such as the Space Ring, which is almost a household name, but is very rare!

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the city lord's hand.

When Urs saw the artifact and the ring, he was not too surprised that the seemingly innocuous alcosahedral ore had fallen into Viktedo's hands at this moment, as he had been informed in advance that the mage city lord had already sent someone to check his physical condition while he was unconscious, and had helped to search the mansion in the wealthy area where the team had lived for a while.

It stands to reason that it was originally a mission item for the ruins of Ras Canyon, and now it seems reasonable to hand it over to the hired party - not to mention that Victor is a powerful mage in the transcendent realm, and if the other party really wants that thing, can he still snatch it back from him if he is "dignified" a kitchen knife barbarian who has just completed his professional advancement?

Regardless of whether this is necessary, then there is no chance of winning at all, right?

Voter template?

With a double-digit grade gap, if a voter template can bring back such a disadvantage, then why do you need character levels?

You must know that the damn Tieflin Sword Saint Entropy can toss his group half to death......

That's why it's so important to talk about power.

Without power, even the most noble ideals are just empty talk!

Urs understands that his current strength is in fact stronger than many people, but if he wants to further interfere with the overall trend of the trajectory of fate, it is far from enough.

He subconsciously clenched his fists......

Victedo took the black ore in his hand, observed the crowd, and continued: "This is the artifact that the Doomsday Cult has been searching for. Despite the fact that it's just such a small thing, it's no less dangerous than an out-of-control, extremely delayed burst fireball scroll. ”

"Extremely effective... What to delay... Fireball? Koto was stunned for a moment, but he still couldn't help but snort, and his heart was that the mage was very smart, but the mage was really difficult to understand.

Is that a special fireball technique? He knew fireballs, as the Dwarven priest of Mother Hearthfire was very good at playing with fire, and he had seen the High Priest of the clan shoot fireballs at the evil monsters on the plateau (in fact, priests who believed in the Goddess of Fireh had a small ability to communicate with the fire elemental plane, and could treat a small number of fire-based plastic spells as divine spells).

The scene was spectacular, a thin fiery red ray drilled into the enemy formation like an arrow from a crossbow, and then exploded in all directions with a "boom", the center bloomed, and the rising flames exploded!

The fireball technique is already so powerful, that extremely effective... Delay... Isn't a fireball even more terrifying?

The dwarf understood a little bit, but it was roughly right, in short, he half-opened his mouth in a daze and nodded, thinking that it was really dangerous, it was really dangerous...... But fortunately, this dangerous thing has been found by everyone, and this mage city lord seems to know something?

Victor looked at the dwarf and didn't say anything about the latter's surprise, but chose to continue with the main point of the matter: "I don't care if you understand it or not, but I have to tell you that this artifact is an important tool for the Doomsday Apostle to summon evil gods. It has not yet been activated, and is in a sealed state, which is in my custody for the time being. In the future, I'm going to study this well, and maybe I'll be able to crack it up with a big cleavage. ”

"Cleavage artifact?" Draco blinked in surprise when he heard this, "Lord of the City, is this a little too risky?" ”

"Hey, just talking." The Mage City Lord waved his hand at the Elven Demon Swordsman, "But then again, all of you from the Thorn Squad—I have summoned you this time, and in addition to telling you these things, I have a new mission for you. ”

"New mission?" Urs listened carefully, "Is it still the mission of the Adventurers' Guild?" ”

"No, not this time." Victor denied, "The new mission to be given to you this time will require you to go on a long trip. You can choose to accept or decline, but if you do, a few nice magic items will now be your reward, counting as a good faith in my personal commission with you, or a deposit for hiring you, and it will not hurt you anyway. ”

As he spoke, he smiled casually, activated the space ring on his middle finger again, and a gray-black cloak appeared in his hand out of thin air, and was placed flat on the table in front of him.

The design of the cloak is not much different from the usual styles, and the striking feature is that the outer surface looks like it is covered with a layer of hard but light biological scales.

The dull scales have been enchanted to make shield-like armor, but this special shield can be draped over the wearer, and is presumably more versatile than a normal shield or cloak.

Urs focused his gaze on the enchanted cloak, which he knew at first glance was not ordinary, and suddenly felt strange, and then reflexively reached out to touch it.

With this touch, the item data frame that popped up in the game system immediately came to mind-

Cloak of Shadow Scales

Item Type: Cloak +2 (Magic Item)

Block bonus +2

+2 for Hide and Stealth Check

Dark vision

2 times a day, cast a spell-like ability shadow attack, and perform a short- to medium-distance movement.

Requirements: None

- Watch your back.

The item's stats seem pretty good at first glance, but the name ......

Cloak of Shadowscales.

Shadow Scales?

Shadow Dragon's scales?

Slow down......

His mind was stunned for a moment, and the black-haired young man suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked up at the mage city lord who had taken this cloak out of the spatial ring.

He just looked at it like this, and Victor knew what was wrong, and seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and pretended to be innocent and glanced sideways, and almost whistled from his mouth again......

"Mr. Castle Lord?" Urs suddenly felt as if something was wrong.

What is the other party hiding from itself?

Miss Irina, the half-elf head of the Adventurers' Association, looked at her mage adoptive father, and suddenly looked at Urs with a little embarrassment, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by the dragon vein mage himself.

Victado motioned to Irina to stop talking, and the majestic double-eyed ghost knew how to turn around a few times in the tin bucket that was buckled upside down on his head, and then turned his gaze back to the young man with a little embarrassment, and replied, "Well... Don't look at me so gratefully, just do a little bit of work. ”

"Tiny work?"

"Yes, a little bit of a gesture. Although in the process of working, some blood in the heart of that evil dragon was inevitably consumed...... But as the saying goes, there is no fruit without consumption, and the production of this cloak is inseparable from... Uh, inseparable... Well, those necessary consumption......"

In the following words, the more he spoke, the quieter he became, and his eyes became smaller and smaller, and there were more and more signs of drifting back to the side, and it sounded like he was talking nonsense for more and more reasons......

Urs heard his explanation, reacted for two seconds, and then an unpleasant voice rose from the depths of his chest—

"it."

Broken......

My materials!

Shadow Dragon's Heart and Shadow Dragon's Blood—the magic materials that have been stripped from dragons!

Honorable Castle Lord, you're just blowing up all of your games for me?!

Oh, my God...... I don't know why my heart suddenly hurts!

Also, wouldn't the scales of the Shadow Dragon be a better choice for armor? Armor, chain mail, or leather armor are all made, isn't it good to have such a famous equipment as the Shadow Scale Breastplate?

So why do you want to make a cloak?

Isn't there enough left to make cloaks?!

And with the dragon scales, there is only +2 enchantment? And besides, the Shadow Scale Cloak's equipment stats - hiding and stealth double check bonuses, providing dark vision, and two shadow strikes per day - are all tailor-made equipment for assassins, aren't they?

You make an assassin outfit for a hand-to-hand brute?

"Smack-"

Urs slapped himself on the head, obviously as long as he promised to follow the mage city lord's request, he would immediately get a +3 enchantment level cloak equipment, but his heart suddenly felt like an overturned five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

If he could, he would have reached out and plucked the funny tin bucket off the other's head, and see what the mage city lord's brass-colored dragon head was thinking—wait, brass-colored dragon scales?

Brass......

the brass dragon!

The young man took a breath and said to himself, no wonder.

There had been so much going on that he had forgotten to pay attention to the color of the scales of the dragon's head on Victor's neck, and then he realized that the other party was most likely a brass dragon with a deformity or an extremely deformed development.

Castaño's metal dragons are divided into five types from strong to weak, including gold, silver, bronze, copper and brass, among which the golden dragon, silver dragon and bronze dragon are all dragons of the orderly and good camp, and the copper dragon and brass dragon are at the end of this list, although the strength and strength are not as lost as the white dragon to the five-colored dragon, but the camp tends to be chaotic and good.

Although chaotic and good characters like to act according to their own will, often act with good intentions, and agree with all virtues and axioms, they do not necessarily fully conform to the moral standards of the public, and especially resentful of the malicious oppression of legal norms, in short, "doing what is good and right in one's own eyes."

The rangers who are helpful but unwilling to belong to civilized towns, the tax collectors who attack the tyrannical aristocracy and take the money to help the poor, and the "martial arts" in the Far East who draw their swords to help them when the road is uneven are all exemplary images of chaos and kindness.

The Bronze Dragon and the Brass Dragon embody their respective dragon natures in the factional tendencies of chaos and goodness. They have a lot of similarities, one of which is that they are talkative, and the other is that they can do things that make you laugh and cry under the slogan "It's all for your good", such as a brass dragon that lives deep in the desert to force a group of adventurers passing by in order to have a good time telling a mouth, and ask the unlucky ghosts it finds to stop and chat with it, and call the things in his mouth that he can't finish talking about for three days and three nights, "Teach you a little bit of the life experience of the elderly".

"It's all for your good."

You're big......

If you dare to run away, the brass dragon may feel that you don't know how to appreciate its verbal art, and you will be annoyed and use suggestion or sleep gas to force you into submission, and when you wake up, you will find yourself violently suppressed by a giant dragon claw, or buried in the sand from the neck down, and the constant noise pollution and rain-like spittle continue to "teach you a little life lesson", "It's all for your good", "Don't doze off, listen"......

Until the brass dragon's addiction is satisfied, he can get out of trouble.

The various "feats" of the copper dragon are also on a par with the brass dragon.

As a result, players in the game call these two dragons comic dragons, and because of the generally strong strength of metal dragons, they have to admit that they are not only comic, but also combat in comics!

Urs himself was also a member of the chaotic and good camp, and he didn't know whether his various performances so far were comic or combat, but he couldn't help but think for a while, this powerful dragon vein mage had spared such a big circle and wasted so many words......

Isn't it just trying to fool yourself with those magic materials?

Don't say it, it's really possible for this kind of to happen to the brass dragon......

Thinking of this, Urs stared intently at Victedo, and a certain suppression of momentum seemed to be reversed for a short time.

Victor was a high-level mage in the Transcendental Realm, but he knew what a terrible mage craftsman he was......

He glanced left and right, the iron bucket on his head shook back and forth a few times, and after a while, he finally took the lead in losing his breath, hesitated for a few seconds, took out another space ring from his body and put it on the table, shrugged his shoulders and said to the young man: "Didn't I say it, don't look at me so gratefully...... Well, I seem to owe you a lot of money, and I should give you something more. ”

After that, he waved his hand in disgust and disgust, and motioned for Urs to quickly take the spatial ring, hurry, don't think about it...... As for the materials and stuff, it's better if it didn't happen at all.

Dragon scales? Dragonheart? Dragon's blood?

Inexistent......

"Oh, and that mission, the new mission I mentioned I was going to give you." His thoughts drifted apart, and the mage city lord immediately remembered what was going on, and then he turned back to a serious attitude and added to the others, "Regarding the content of that mission, I need you to leave Twilight City for a while, sail out of the Okazawa region by boat through Casey Harbor, and go to a place called Misty Island to seek the help of another member of the secret party. ”

"That member of the Secret Order lives in seclusion on that island, and her name will surely not be unfamiliar to you, if you have heard the legend of Lady Festina, the Sage of the Grey Court......"
