Chapter 134: The Adventure Ends
Nero is dead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The words of this crazy man on his deathbed left a lingering shadow in everyone's hearts.
Compared with his overwhelmed companions, Roland, as a time-traveler, felt more deeply about Nero's crazy prophecies.
However, it has come to this point, there is no point in worrying, what should come will always come, and he believes that there is no way to heaven.
Roland broke the silence with a high-five, trying to cheer everyone up: "Ladies and gentlemen, Nero is dead, we are still alive, isn't it clear who the winner is?" The future will be talked about in the future, but now what we have to do is to share the joy of victory, and guess how many gold, silver and jewels are hidden in this hall? If there is anything that can soothe the weariness of the adventurer, my dear companions, it is friendship and wealth. ”
Bloom jumped up and laughed out loud: "Friendship and wealth, and don't forget the wine!" ”
Lyudmi stretched his waist and said leisurely: "Don't care about the curse of the half-dragon man, the living can't let the dead be bluffed, I'll go and search this hall, maybe in which corner is buried the treasure of the Dragon Age." ”
The female ranger's wish was soon granted, but there was no treasure in the hall, and even if there were, it would have been taken away by the arcanists who sealed the bloodclaws in the first place, but she found a lot of good things from Nero and Agatha, in addition to magic items, and also found a large amount of property from a dimensional bag, most of which were looted by Nero and others in various corners of the temple, and now they are all cheap.
The dwarves took out all these possessions and placed them in the hall in a jeweled place, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Nikita was appointed by Roland as the team's accountant because of her superior intelligence, and she gladly accepted the job, taking out a pen and ledger to keep a careful record of every coin.
She first opened a treasure chest and counted the boxes full of platinum coins, this kind of precious metal currency in circulation in the Dragon Age is now very rare, one platinum coin can be exchanged for ten gold Asan coins in circulation today, and the chest contains a total of three thousand six hundred platinum coins, which is equivalent to thirty-six thousand gold coins.
Next is a diamond-encrusted crown, which Veronica is valued at 10,000 gold coins.
A beautiful set of ivory dice. Each side of the dice is studded with gemstone shavings, spelled out into a number in the language of the dragon, and is estimated at 1,200 gold coins.
A set of five carved gold cups worth about 1,000 gold coins.
Finally, a gold music box encrusted with rubies, valued at 3,500 gold by Veronica. Bloom believes that more than that, if you find a buyer who knows the goods, the price may double.
In a joyful atmosphere, Roland reached out and closed the lid of the treasure chest, his face sank: "Everyone, I know that you are all looking forward to distributing the treasure, but I have something to say before that. ”
"Why are you so serious...... Bloom muttered quietly, but he didn't dare to speak up to Roland publicly, and before he knew it, he had established his authority in the team and became an irreplaceable leader in the eyes of his peers.
Roland was silent, his gaze fixed on Veronica's face.
Miss Ninja bit her lip and rubbed her hands uneasily, finally unable to withstand the invisible pressure exerted on her by Roland, and apologized softly.
"I'm sorry! I did know for a long time that Nero and the others had come to the Settlement Area to plot the Blood Claws, and I didn't know exactly how he planned it, but I later found out that Nikita and everyone were involved in this conspiracy, and I was too late...... It's too late to turn things around. ”
Roland nodded slightly, and then asked her, "That's all you are hiding from me?" ”
Veronica didn't dare to answer his question directly, and muttered, "I did what I was told, and sometimes I couldn't help myself, and I didn't mean to deceive everyone - I promise I won't make the same mistake again!" ”
"The future will be talked about in the future, and now you will be punished for the mistakes you make, if we are all afraid of offending people, we all pretend to be confused, let go lightly on the surface, and only hide the contradictions in our hearts, what kind of integrity can there be between companions in the future?" Roland's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on the pretty face of the female ninja who had lost her blood, "If people don't have faith, they won't stand, and I'm not afraid of offending people, so these words must be made clear to you, and you can put forward your opinions in person." ”
Veronica felt like falling into an ice cave, tears rolled in her eyes, she endured her grievances, and kept bowing and apologizing: "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I'm willing to admit punishment, but I beg you not to drive me away! ”
Bloom opened his mouth, unable to resist interceding on Veronica's behalf. Lyudmi tugged at him, hinting with his eyes that he didn't want to be troublesome, and Roland had his own measure.
"Bloom, Mira, what do you think?" Roland asked proactively.
The dwarf rubbed his nose and smirked, "In my opinion, it's not a big deal...... Why don't you forgive Ronnie once, or not make an example? ”
Lyudmila followed suit: "Don't take it as an example." ”
Veronica immediately cast a grateful look at the two of them, and the appearance of the ghost made Lyudmila laugh.
Roland nodded and said, "I respect everyone's opinion, Ronnie, are you going to continue the adventure with us?" ”
Miss Ninja nodded vigorously: "I'll follow you wherever you go!" Guaranteed obedience! ”
"Okay, you can stay, but you don't have a share in getting the treasure this time, it's a punishment for you, do you have any opinions?"
"No comment! No comments! Veronica replied simply, took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from the corners of her forehead, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She passed, but Nikita felt particularly embarrassed because Roland had intentionally or unintentionally excluded her from the situation.
Nikita was not completely unsophisticated, and somewhat understood why Roland's attitude towards her suddenly became so cold, and couldn't help but take the initiative to poke through this layer of window paper.
"Mr. Roland, I also want to apologize to you, because of my greed and short-sightedness, I refused to follow your advice, and as a result, everyone fell into Nero's trap, and almost made a big mistake, I regret it very much, please forgive me!" As she spoke, she bowed deeply to everyone in the same way as Veronica, her movements were a little jerky, after all, it was the first time in her life that she had apologized to someone.
Roland hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said very politely: "Miss Nikita doesn't have to worry about not going, your problem is different from Ronnie, the matter is over, although the process is a little twists and turns, fortunately, I finally helped you get the heart of a warlock, and finally fulfilled my original promise, if you have the opportunity to visit Beacon Mountain in the future, I will trouble you to be a guide." ”
Nikita's nose was sour, and all the grievances came up, and her eyes were slightly red.
She couldn't help but clench her pink fists and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
It's true that she lacks experience in the world, but she is not the kind of fool who doesn't listen to words, how can she not hear that Roland's attitude towards Veronica is completely different from her.
He is very fierce to Veronica, and that is because he truly regards Veronica as his own, reprimanding when he should be reprimanded, punishing when he should be punished, and then he still takes the other party on the road together, and he is still a partner who shares weal and woe.
And for her, there is estrangement behind the politeness, and the implication shows that "I am not a person with you", and the temporary cooperation is nothing more than interests. Now that the cooperation has ended successfully, they parted ways after the breakup, and if there is a reunion day in the future, I hope that each other will remember a piece of incense, and dare not ask too much for anything else.
Nikita thought about it and still couldn't bear this breath, a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Roland, and suddenly said: "I don't accept it!" ”
Everyone was startled by her, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
"I did make mistakes, and that's because I was stupid!" Nikita said to herself.
"Wait...... Miss Nikita, you need to calm down. Roland sensed that she was not in the right mood and tried to reassure her.
"I'm calm!" Nikita retorted without thinking.
"Okay, then you go on." Roland shook his head helplessly.
Nikita was interrupted by him, and suddenly she didn't know what to say, and her beautiful face turned red. I accidentally found Veronica hiding behind Roland and covering her mouth and snickering, full of grievances, she suddenly found an outlet, pointed at her and complained loudly to Roland: "Although I made stupid mistakes, but I didn't mean to deceive people, so the nature of my mistakes is far less serious than Ronie, you can forgive Roni for hiding the truth, why can't you forgive me for being stupid occasionally?" ”
"No one is blaming you here, and we've been generally happy to work with." Roland smiled at her, trying to make the atmosphere lighter again.
However, Miss Mage's eyes widened and she let out a series of gunpowder-filled rhetorical questions, "Why do you say 'overall'?" That means you can't be too demanding of me, otherwise I'm a person who upsets you too much, isn't it? ”
Roland didn't speak again, and his brows furrowed. He knew that Nikita had no intention of reasoning at all, maybe she just needed someone to listen and comfort? Then he can shut up and remain in the role of listener, and as for comfort, I'm sorry, he doesn't have that obligation to be accustomed to anyone's eldest lady's temper.
He didn't speak, Bloom and Lyudmila looked at each other with inexplicable expressions on their faces, Veronica herself had just gotten out of trouble, and she wouldn't have fallen into it too much.
The sudden silence brought great pressure to Nikita, who knew that she was going too far, and screamed, and took the initiative to lower her posture and look at Roland aggrievedly: "I have admitted my mistake, can't you forgive me from the bottom of your heart?" At least don't stay away from me, that attitude is really hurtful. ”
Roland finally grasped her mentality, and couldn't help but sigh to herself, "The undersea needle is really hard to find", looked deeply at Miss Mage's eyes full of resentment, and asked with a smile: "If you are not in a hurry to go back to Lighthouse Mountain, can you accompany us for an extra trip?" If you leave, this small team will be left without professional spellcasters, and the rest of the journey will be difficult. ”
Nikita couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She didn't want Roland to see her joyful appearance, so she quickly turned her back and looked at the sky as an embarrassment: "To tell you the truth, I'm actually quite busy, but since you ask for it, we have been together for so long and have some friendship, how can I bear to refuse to help?" Well, I'll think about it and I'll get back to you tomorrow. ”
Roland smiled, and diverted the topic with Miss Mage's arrogant temperament: "Tomorrow's business will be talked about tomorrow, let's divide the treasure first." ”
Nikita turned around and waved her hand: "I don't want my share, it's to make up for the mistakes I made." ”
Roland knew that she was super "white and rich", and he didn't take these treasures in his eyes, so he didn't be polite to her.
