Chapter 21: Peers
"Maybe he'll be better than you in the future. Pen % fun % www.biquge.info" Ophelina said playfully
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and there is nothing impossible." After the Earl finished speaking, he looked at the map on the wall, and he fixed his eyes on the county of Kent, where Cecil was going, and thought meaningfully.
"Dad, do you really think Cecil will be able to kill Henry? Henry has a mercenary group around him to protect him, and that regiment leader has a strength of more than 6th order, and he used to be a 2nd order shield combat class guard of the Earth Temple. “
"Of course I don't expect him to actually kill Henry, I'm just going to see how far he can go, and I'll evaluate his talent based on his performance." The Earl said lightly.
"And what about Henry?" Ophelina asked, confused
"I have my own means of dealing with him, and he has recently had a private relationship with the king, which violates my bottom line." The Earl said approvingly
Seeing her father's resolute attitude, Ophelina didn't say anything, and suddenly she remembered something else
"Dad, I'm afraid you didn't tell Cecil everything." Ophelina said with a smile.
"Yes, I didn't mention the necromancers of Deya to the south, their recent movements are extremely unusual." At the Earl's mention, a sad look appeared on his face.
"Could it be that they still want to attack our territory?" Fiorina said in surprise.
"Probably not, that won't be good for them, the land outside of Diya is not blessed by the god of the undead, the combat power of the undead creatures will drop by 50% once they come out of the cursed land, and our southern border is guarded by the royal family's strong shield paladins, once the undead lord attacks our human kingdom, the loss is far less than the gain, it is nothing more than giving other undead lords a chance to destroy him." The Count replied
"That's true, but the situation in the south is really not quite right recently, Diya and our territory are too close, and the movement of the undead lord who is close to us is unsettling anyway." Ophelina stranded her hair and continued.
"So I sent this young man over like a pebble into this stagnant water to see what the hell was going on."
Listening to her father's words, Ophelina suddenly smiled: "It seems that things will be interesting." ”
Cecil walked out of the count's house with a stomach full of anger, not wanting to go home. went straight to the hotel where I drank with Collins last time, and asked the hotel owner for a glass of barley wine directly after entering the door, and my mood gradually calmed down after a few sips. This time the duke's house went to be really aggrieved. Ophelina said that she wanted to confess to herself out of sincerity, but this confession smelled of an accident, if she didn't suddenly become stronger, wouldn't she be betrayed in vain?
Cecil was thinking about something, when a man sat down beside him in the distance, and Cecil looked at it and was taken aback. This man is none other than Andy. Cecil was surprised that a stately mage had come to such a place as a tavern, and Andy asked for a glass of barley wine. Cecil was even more surprised, although the archmage of Cabrada was not an ascetic devout disciple like the temple priest, but he was also a dignified person. It's not common for people to run to this kind of clutter to drink.
Andy saw Cecil's surprised eyes and smiled: "Don't be surprised, we dragon warlocks used to be mixed in this kind of place, until 100 years ago, our dragon vein warlock clan produced a genius Sara, she comprehended the dragon magic left by Bokab in ancient times, and completed the awakening transformation of the dragon warlock." The Dragon-Vein Warlock clan was accepted by Kabrada. But our people still like to come to this kind of place for a good time. ”
Cecil only knew that the Dragon Vein Warlock was a very powerful mage, and there was no single class of Warlock in the worldview of this world. But Cecil knew very little about the Dragonvein Warlock itself. Cecil is still very interested in this powerful bloodline, and knows a little more.
However, Andy is clearly not interested in continuing the conversation. Then he asked Cecil, "It looks like you're not in a good mood." ”
Although Cecil and Andy have experienced life and death together, they don't have too deep friendships, and they won't have heart-to-heart conversations, but Cecil was in a really bad mood that night, and he was in a desire to talk to someone, plus he drank some wine, so he told Andy about the causes and consequences of his marriage contract.
How do you know that Andy didn't react after hearing this, but said lightly: "This is also very normal, there is nothing wrong, is there any qualification for a gentleman to be worthy of an excellent woman?" ”
Cecil was expecting to be comforted by his friend, but Andy said that the other party had done too much, and his lungs were really angry, so he took out a gold coin from his body and slapped it on the table and strode out of the hotel.
Andy chased after him all of a sudden, and Cecil said angrily: "Please don't follow me, the gentleman wants to be alone and quiet." ”
Andy smiled and said, "I'll accompany you for a while, I heard that you are going to the south to run errands next?" ”
Cecil was shocked, "How do you know?"
"I naturally have a news channel, my news is still very accurate, and I am also going to travel to the south, do you want to go together?"
Cecil obviously didn't expect Andy to say this, and several doubts suddenly popped up in his heart, how did Andy know that he was going to the south? Does he also know his mission? What is his message channel? To be honest, if there is a dragon vein warlock with you, it will help you a lot in your mission, but will he help him? And it's a little bad for Andy to drag him into this kind of troublesome thing.
Thinking of this, Cecil said: "My journey to the south is very tricky, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to achieve the purpose of travel, so it is not convenient to travel with you. ”
"Did the earl tell you to kill the deputy?" Andy said quietly.
Cecil's eyes widened in shock, Andy even knew this, and he stared at Andy with wide eyes, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.
"It's nothing, your teacher and my teacher speculated so, the two of them knew that you were called by the earl to run errands, and the earl and this acting officer had a very unpleasant quarrel recently, so eighty percent of the earls wanted to change the acting officer. So presumably will give you this task. Andy said
"My teacher, are you talking about Mr. Collins?" Cecil said.
"Yes, he deliberately found my teacher last night, and he didn't worry about you, so he asked me to go to the south with you." Andy added
So that's the case, Cecil just took over this task from the earl in a daze, in fact, he was under more pressure from the earl, but he himself did not seriously evaluate this task, and he had the impression that the combat effectiveness of this kind of acting officer would not be very strong, because the nobles would not choose a strong acting officer when choosing a deputy officer, so generally speaking, the servants who basically had little combat effectiveness would be elected as acting officers. Therefore, it is not difficult to kill the acting officer himself in this assassination mission, but since he is a acting official, it is impossible not to hire some powerful people to be his guards. So the difficulty is how to get rid of these guards. as well as the armies of the local kingdoms.
Cecil didn't have a clue what to do when he went to the south, although the assassination was said by the earl to be a last resort, but Cecil knew in his heart that since the count clearly told him to kill Henry, it meant that the contradiction was actually irreconcilable, and it was difficult to solve the problem by normal means, and I am afraid that most of the problems would need to be solved by violence. The strength of a third-order character is actually very limited, and there is really no great certainty, it is much better to have Andy, a dragon vein warlock, to help, although it is also a third-order strength, but a genius of the law system is extremely complementary to himself. There will also be a lot more possibilities for this task to be completed.
"But I'm not helping you for nothing, you need to do me a favor too. It just so happened that I knew of an ancient ruin in that part of Kent, and I needed to explore this ruin to improve my strength, so I helped you complete the quest and you need to explore the ruins with me. ”
"That's no problem, I'm glad I can help you" Cecil agreed very happily, the ancient ruins themselves are an unattainable opportunity, generally speaking, an ancient ruins will represent a hidden high-level copy, completed by a variety of attributes of the reward, which is something Cecil wants. And it can return Andy's favor, why not.
Andy placed a ring in it and handed it to Cecil. "This is what your teacher specially asked me to pass on to you when I went out on a trip this morning."
Cecil took a look at it, and it was a gold magic-level ring
Ring of Oaths:
Armor: Ring
Defense: 84-90
Stamina +12, Spirit +10
Side Skill: Fortune is long
Fukuzawa Length: All self aura radiation distance +20 meters
Cecil immediately equipped this ring, but he didn't expect that his first piece of golden magic equipment was given to him by this mentor, it seems that the mentor is really good to himself, and the additional skills are also very suitable for him, the profession of paladin is a lot of halos, not to mention that the mentor gave him two very powerful halo-free skills. Of course, the radiation distance of the aura added by this skill is also random, and some equipment can even radiate +100%, this kind of equipment with a percentage of radiation distance almost increases the value of a piece of gold equipment to the value of mythical equipment, because this equipment is equipped on the body of the war sacrifice or life sacrifice of the temple of life, which is a strategic weapon that can change the outcome of a war.
