The most effective way to convince someone is to defeat him first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, Vigraf was already convinced by Roland's instructions, and was about to absorb the Upanishads, when he accidentally saw the platinum ring on his middle finger, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to take it off and return it to Roland.
Roland waved his hand at him and chuckled: "That thing is not enchanted, it's not worth a few dollars, you keep it, there may be a battle next, compared to the attack power, your defense is too weak, through that ring, I can share the damage for you at any time with the blessing of the 'Guardian Technique'." ”
"Thank you very much." Vigraf didn't say anything.
At this moment, a fellow ran over and whispered in Mikhail's ear, his face looking very nervous.
"Miss Katya alone? Invite her over! Mikhail hurriedly jumped out of the car, straightened his clothes and hats, and prepared to greet the distinguished guests.
"Uncle, who's coming?" Roland asked curiously.
"Miss Katya, the most relied on assistant of the Pearl Knight, our caravan's business dealings with the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce, many times it is this young lady who comes forward as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce to deal with it, I have to say that in the business field, I have never seen such a shrewd woman as her!" Mikhail was stunned.
Roland couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Even a goblin profiteer like Mikhail bowed to that Miss Katya, which shows that the other party is indeed superior.
At this time, Vigraf introduced to him in a low voice: "Katya is a half-elf, her mother was born in the Yangbo family, and her father is a human mage, she inherited the advantages of both parents, and obtained the extraordinary profession 'Fool' at a young age. ”
Roland was slightly moved. He had heard of the "Fool", a very rare and extraordinary profession that required a practitioner to be gifted, requiring not only superhuman intelligence but also agility.
The Traits of the Fool class are complex, with the traits of a mage, a warlock, and a thief.
First of all, this is a class that uses "intelligence" as a spellcasting attribute, and can cast up to 9 rings of spells, much like a mage.
However, the way the "fool" casts spells is very similar to that of a warlock, there is no need to prepare spells in advance, as long as there are remaining spell slots on the day, you can cast the spells you have mastered at will, which is more free than that of a mage.
Of course, this is not to say that the "Fool" is necessarily better than the Mage and Warlock, in fact, the number of spells she can use is much smaller than that of the Mage and Warlock, and most of them are limited to the illusion and confusion control systems, and lack spells to directly kill the enemy, so she is neither as comprehensive as the Mage, nor can she act as a turret for brainless bombardment like the Warlock, and pays more attention to the combination of melee and spell casting skills.
This is the third characteristic of a fool - the need for rigorous martial arts training.
The Fool is more melee than a mage or a warlock, can cast spells in light armor, is proficient in using light weapons such as crossbows, short bows, rapiers, and daggers, and has mastered the skills of thieves such as detection, stealth, pickpocketing, lockpicking, forging documents, dismantling traps, and using magic devices.
It is precisely because the fool needs to be the master of many people, and the magic and martial arts are cultivated, so the threshold for this kind of profession is very high, there are few cultivators, and even fewer young people are successful in employment.
In the two years since Roland traveled to the world of Vares, he had not seen a single fool, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about this Miss Katya.
Not long after, a half-elf girl wearing a Mithril shirt and a white cloak walked over, she was not tall, her body was slender, her light blue hair reflected the blood of sea elves, her skin was fair, her face was delicate, and she had a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, revealing an intellectual temperament.
However, at this moment, the young lady's face was full of haze, and there were faint traces of blood on her body, which made her look a little embarrassed.
"Miss Katya, what's wrong with you...... Looks tired. Mikhail noticed that Katya looked unusual, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
Katya waved his hand at him and said eagerly: "Mr. Mikhail, I'm sorry to let you see my embarrassed appearance, I don't have time to say more now, I need to borrow your escort and return to the 'White Dragon Canyon' immediately to rescue His Highness Victoria." ”
Mikhail couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? Her Royal Highness Victoria...... What's wrong with her? ”
Katya sighed and patiently explained the ins and outs: "Last night, His Highness Viktoria led the delegation to the White Dragon Canyon first, intending to stay there for a night, waiting for your caravan to rendezvous, but at dawn it was suddenly attacked, and a demon priest from the 'War Scourge Fortress' led the Minotaurs, Hill Giants, and two bipedal wyverns to sneak into the White Dragon Canyon and create an avalanche with a spell, flooding the visiting group's campsite, and many people died in their sleep. ”
"What about Her Highness Victoria herself? Is she okay? Mikhail couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Thanks to the blessing of our lord Deep Sea Saisila, His Highness himself survived, and led a few of his personal guards, including me, to take refuge in the depths of the valley.
Katya took a breath and went on to recount what happened the next day.
"Your Highness thinks that being trapped in the Jedi is a dead end after all, so he organized a breakthrough after dawn, but was hit by the mountain giants throwing ice, and lost some manpower, and was forced to retreat to the valley, only I cast a spell to hide my whereabouts and successfully escaped from the siege, considering that the time is urgent, sending a letter to Baigull Harbor or Kitland City for help is far from being able to solve the near fire, so I have to rush here to seek support from you."
Mikhail was dumbfounded when he heard Katya's words. He was longing for the protection of the Pearl Knight, and he didn't think that the Pearl Knight himself had also suffered trouble.
The caravan is currently understaffed to protect itself, and it really has little chance of winning against the many thugs led by the Warlord Priest, and it is likely that he will not be able to rescue the Pearl Knight and lose all his own men.
As a businessman, from the perspective of short-term interests, Mikhail's best choice now is to leave the Pearl Knight alone, and don't go to the White Dragon Canyon, immediately turn around and flee from this place, and go to Kitland City as fast as possible. The Pearl Knight delayed the war scourge in the White Dragon Canyon for a few more moments, and his caravan had one more chance to escape.
However, the reality is not so simple, and no one can do business in a vacuum.
Mikhail is a professional manager employed by the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce, and while borrowing the resources of the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce, he also has corresponding obligations to the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce. If he chooses to escape here and abandon the second head of the Yangbo Chamber of Commerce in danger, it will be tantamount to betraying his master, which is not only a matter of disrepute, but also a matter of disrepute and Yangbo after the fact, not only his own life will not be guaranteed, but his wife and children will also suffer.
