Chapter 206: Erosion
Since then, the Federation and the Arcane have fought several more battles in quick succession. With the help of holy water and purification, the wizards of the Federation were able to defeat Montezuma and inflict considerable damage on the monster.
With the battlefield already filthy, heroes like Ajax have lost the idea of going into battle, leaving only sand golems, mercenaries, and cockroaches to tear and kill meaninglessly.
"Fighting in such a place is an insult to the fighters." This brave man never came out again, after another battle and a taste of the overnight zombie stench.
The battle was deadlocked. But Tianwen was not idle.
In order to motivate the complex military to fight, the Federation of Seven Schools has opened its own treasure trove, providing a variety of rare materials and magical materials to the outside world.
"Dragon's blood! You see, it's high-purity dragon blood! Lily's eyes lit up as she looked at the items listed on the auction house display board, "There is a 10% chance that the user will get a permanent increase in health regeneration and magic resistance. ”
"I think I can give each of us a little bit! Ahh Got the taste of frogs again! Luo Ze said as she ate the strange candy, she seemed to be used to the smell of this thing, and she had a tendency to become addicted.
"You see, here are the materials needed for soul stones, but they are too expensive." Galadia has already made a list of purchases, "We need more challenge points. ”
Xiao Yan stared at a scroll in front of him.
"Geass scrolls. Grade: Purple.
Effect 1: Contract. Make a pact with a magical creature to make it a demon. Newly contracted Egregators have very low loyalty and are likely to break the contract and flee or attack you.
Effect 2: Spell. Make a contract of cooperation with a Heroic Spirit who has lost its Master, and after signing the contract, you can give them an irresistible order or recharge it.
Price: Challenge Point 100. ”
Xiao Yan looked at the scroll thoughtfully, and then looked at the camp outside the auction house.
……
Every evening, weary wizards and contractors would gather at the bars of the coalition camp for a little recreation.
The layout of the Allied Bar is different from other places: a large counter in the shape of a ruler facing the square, and the cabinet is stocked with all kinds of drinks. The mercenaries and hired helpers who participated in the war, who broke up in the afternoon and evening, spent a quarter of a gold pound each time to buy a large glass of wine, stood by the counter, and drank slowly to rest; For an extra ten shillings, you can buy a plate of chips, or fried fish, and a drink, and if you pay five or six pounds, you can buy a good steak, but most customers don't have that generous. Only those who were neatly dressed in wizard robes walked into the house next door to the bar, asking for wine and food, and slowly sat down and drank.
Ever since Pappatine's arrest, his house-elf Oak has been working as a guy in the base's bar, and the manager says it's too silly to wait for a patron in wizard robes, so he just does something outside. Most of the customers outside are mercenaries from all over the world, and although they are easy to talk to, there are also a lot of nagging and entanglement. They often have to watch Oak pick up the beer from the barrel, make sure it's not watered, and rest assured: under this heavy supervision, it is also difficult to mix the water.
Oak has been standing at the counter all day long, in charge of his duties. Although there is no dereliction of duty, I always feel a little monotonous and a little boring. The store manager has a fierce face, and the customers are not good, and they can't teach people to be lively; Only when Don Quixote arrives at the store can he laugh a few times, so Oak is very impressed.
Don Quixote is obviously a heroic spirit, but he always drinks outside with everyone. He was tall and lanky; The face is pale, and there are often scars between wrinkles; A raged gray beard. Although he was wearing armor, his clothes were dirty and torn, and it seemed that he had not been replaced with a new one for more than ten years. When he speaks to people, he is always full of Mr. and Miss, which makes people half-understood. As soon as Don Quixote arrived, all the drinkers looked at him and laughed, and some exclaimed, "Don Quixote, you have a new scar on your face!" He didn't answer, but said to the cupboard, "Two beers and a plate of fries." As he spoke, he discharged a glittering gold pound. They deliberately shouted again, "You must have been beaten by the Heroic Spirit on the other side again!" Don Quixote's eyes widened and he said, "How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air...... "What innocence?" The day before yesterday, I saw you meet the ranger on the other side and be hung and beaten. Don Quixote blushed, and the green veins on his forehead burst out, and argued, "A duel cannot be counted as a hanging...... Duel! …… Can the matter between knights be regarded as hanging? One after another, there were difficult words, such as "treasures" and "magic", which caused everyone to laugh: the inside and outside of the store were filled with a cheerful air.
Oak heard people talk behind their backs that Don Quixote was also a heroic spirit, but in the end he had no other heroic spirits, and he did not please his master; So he was thrown into this place by the lord and became poorer and poorer, although he didn't cut off the magic supply, but he was about to beg for food. Fortunately, he can still go into battle to sell his life, fight miscellaneous soldiers, and change a bowl of rice to eat. It's a pity that he has another bad temper, which is good vanity. In the past few days, he has to fight against the strong man on the opposite side from time to time, and the people around him have to be wiped out, and if it is a few times, there is no team willing to partner with him. Don Quixote has no law, so he can't avoid going into battle alone. But in this hotel, his character is better than others, that is, he never makes trouble, unlike other guests who are drunk and inevitably make a fuss, Don Quixote comes to persuade him with kind words, and in the end he will inevitably be beaten and kicked.
After Don Quixote drank half a glass of wine, his flushed face gradually recovered, and the others asked, "Don Quixote, are you really a hero?" Don Quixote looked at the person who asked him, and looked dismissive. Then they said, "Why can't you even kill a dinosaur?" Don Quixote immediately looked depressed and uneasy, his face covered with a layer of gray, and his mouth said something; This time, it's magic, treasures, etc., and some don't understand it. At this time, everyone also burst into laughter: the inside and outside of the store were filled with a cheerful air.
At these times, Oak can echo the smile, and the store manager will never blame. And when the store manager saw Don Quixote, he asked him like this, which made people laugh. Don Quixote himself knew that he couldn't talk to them, so he had to speak to the house-elves. Once, he said to Oak, "Have you ever used magic?" Oak nodded slightly. He said, "Yes,...... I'll test you. How does the magic work? "Oak thought, is a beggar like a person worthy of me? Then he turned his face away and paid no more attention. Don Quixote waited for a long time, and said very earnestly, "Won't you?" …… I'll teach you, remember! The magic should be like this. In the future, if you become a demon, you will use it. "Oak thinks that he is still far from the level of the demon, and our house-elves are never qualified to fight; Funny and impatient, he lazily replied to him, "Whoever wants you to teach, isn't it just turning magic into matter?" Don Quixote looked very happy, tapped the long nails of his two fingers against the counter, nodded and said, "Yes, yes! …… Did you know that there are several forms of matter? Oak grew impatient and sniffled away. Don Quixote had just dipped his fingernails in wine and wanted to write on the cabinet, but when he saw that Oak was not enthusiastic, he sighed again, and looked very sorry.
On several occasions, the house-elves of the other wizards heard the laughter and hurried to surround Don Quixote. So he gave each of them a french fry. The house-elf finished eating the fries, but still did not disperse, and his eyes were on the plate. Don Quixote panicked, stretched out his five fingers to cover the plate, bent down and said, "Not much, I don't have much." He straightened up and looked at the fries again, shook his head and said, "No more, no more!" How much? Not much either. So the elves scattered in laughter.
Don Quixote is such a jolly, but without him, others would live like this.
