Chapter 104: Warlock's Heart
Bloom seemed to have been punched head-on, and jumped up angrily: "Stinky girl, don't underestimate Uncle Ben!" I'm also a first-class handsome guy in Icewind Dale, and a lot of dwarven girls are obsessed with me! ”
Nikita smiled nonchalantly, "I'm not a dwarf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"First of all, I want to correct your wrong aesthetics, in addition, your moral concept is also very problematic, it is not right to judge people by their appearance!" Bloom looked stern.
Nikita put away her smile and turned cold, "If you insist on this, I have no choice but to bombard you with the fireball technique stored in the Ayn Stone." ”
"Damn......" Bloom never wanted to get close to the fireball, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Nikita's gaze turned to Roland, "You and Mr. Dwarf came to the ruins of Tiamat, did you plan to hunt for treasure?" ”
"There's a treasure hunt, but it's more about tracking down a bunch of evil guys." Roland stopped talking, stared at Nikita and asked, "By the way, what is the relationship between your Far East Lighthouse and the 'Dragon's Eye', is it convenient to reveal?" ”
Nikita smiled knowingly, as if she had seen through his concerns, and said slowly: "That's a long story, the 'Dragon Fortress' is entrenched in the northern mountains, and our Lighthouse Mountain is located in the southernmost part of the Far East, far away from each other, and there was no conflict of interest originally, but in recent years, the Dragon's Eye and the Naraku Order have become very close, and the Naraku Order is our feud with the Far Eastern Lighthouse, and the Dragon's Eye has also become our enemy." ”
Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the development of the relationship between the Far Eastern Lighthouse and the Dragon's Eye was completely in line with his guess, since they had a common enemy with each other, then there was a basis for cooperation. Thinking so, he briefly introduced his life experience.
Nikita listened to his report, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine: "It turns out that you are the son of General Rudolph, and I have heard of your name, which is said to be the chosen person of the goddess of fate." ”
Roland smiled modestly: "Don't dare to be, there should be no conflict of faith between us, right?" ”
"I'm a believer in the god of magic, Bokabu, and as far as I know, the King of Ten Thousand Laws has a good relationship with the Sisters of Fate, and I'm not a very devout believer, so you don't have to worry about offending me about your faith."
Nikita's attitude towards faith is heretical in the hinterland of the theocratic Assan Empire, but this is normal for the mage class.
Most of the mages revered Boqab, and that was only out of reverence for the supreme polymath, and in the end they did not worship Boqab as a deity, but for his infinite knowledge. They don't denounce people of different beliefs as heretics, and Bokab doesn't encourage believers to do so, but to keep their curiosity alive, to explore the mysteries of the multiverse, to spread magic, and to try to change the world with magic, which is the way the gods of magic would like to see it.
From this point of view, the mage class favored by Bokab is more like the scholars and engineers of the earth, pursuing the truth itself rather than who has the final say in the truth, and it is not too much to call such people atheists, and it is conceivable that they are inherently incompatible with the theocracy of the Assanian Empire, which is the root of the Empire's unrelenting suppression of arcane spellcasters since its creation more than 1,600 years ago, and the hardship of the lighthouse wizards who have to live in seclusion in the Far East.
"Our visit to the subsidence area this time was actually an accident," Roland recounted what he had seen during ......his travels, with a special emphasis on the bloodshed at the lumberyard.
Most of the mages were indifferent and too lazy to care about the lives of others, but when Nikita heard that he was going to track down the murderer of the murder and avenge the slaughter of the Sindra followers, she couldn't help but be moved and sympathetic.
"After talking for a long time, I haven't asked Miss Master why she came here for this trip, is it convenient to reveal?" Roland asked.
Nikita groaned and replied lightly, "According to legend, there is an altar dedicated to the dragon goddess Tiamat in this ruin, and I want to investigate it. ”
"Examine what?" Bloom asked eagerly.
Roland asks another, more concerned question: "Will there be sleeping dragons in the Nexus?" ”
Nikita ignored Bloom and told Roland, "Of course there are no dragons, otherwise I wouldn't dare to try my luck if I had ten guts." ”
"Hey, little girl, don't let me not exist, what is it that is good enough for you to take this risk?" Bloom asked nonchalantly.
Nikita apparently didn't want to answer the question, but remained deaf and hurried on her own, so angry that the dwarf rolled her eyes.
Roland patted the dwarf on the shoulder, persuaded him not to fight with the little girl, and then asked Nikita: "You may also be aware that in addition to us, the villains of the Dragon's Eye are also operating in this area, I am afraid that they have ulterior motives, if the two sides clash, what are you going to do?" ”
Nikita looked back at him deeply and asked softly, "You want to join me in the fight against the Dragon's Eyes?" ”
Roland admitted frankly: "The enemy of the enemy should become a friend, many friends and many paths, what does Miss Mage think?" ”
Nikita was silent, as if weighing the pros and cons, and after a long time, she nodded lightly: "It's okay to cooperate, but you want to help me find something, which is in the depths of the underground palace." ”
"What's that?"
"A gem, the magic gem that goes with my forehead ornament, called 'Warlock's Heart', is said to enhance the abilities of arcane spellcasters, but I don't know exactly how."
"Warlock's Heart......" Roland took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at the witch's forehead, which turned out to be the legendary "Dragon Queen Forehead", also known as the "Eye of Tiamat".
Before crossing over, he had seen the introduction of "Eye of Tiamat" in a certain "Dungeons & Dragons" setting set, and he couldn't remember the specific attributes, but there was one thing he would never forget, that is, the level of this equipment - artifact!
Why did this mysterious witch, who claimed to be from the Lighthouse of the Far East, possess the fragments of the Dragon Queen artifact? Roland didn't want to pursue it. Since the other party didn't want to reveal his true feelings, he was happy to pretend to be confused.
"I'll do my best to help you get the gem, but before I can hunt for it, I need you to help me find my lost companion."
"No problem." Nikita smiled confidently, and then pulled out a scroll and handed it to Roland.
Roland took it and saw that it was the four-ring prophecy spell "Biological Positioning Technique".
"This scroll can help you locate an acquaintance, will you?" Nikita asked him.
Roland quickly checked the skill level of "using magic devices", which was obviously not enough, so he had to take out the magic potion given by Master Merlin and pour it down, temporarily increasing the skill level by 5 points, and then opened the scroll, reciting the incantation while silently recalling Lyudmila's appearance.
The scroll ignited with blue flames and slowly turned to ashes, and magic quietly poured into Roland's mind, sensing the direction of Lyudmila. This proved that the female ranger's life was not in danger, and his long-hanging heart fell to the ground.
Following the spell guidance, Roland quickened his pace to find Lyudmila. When the flood struck, he hurriedly glanced back and saw Lyudmila and Veronica together, since Lyudmila was not drowning, Veronica must be safe.
Roland wanted to find his lost teammates as soon as possible, but it didn't go well.
The terrain of Bailong District is very complicated, and there is water in many places after the torrent, which makes it very inconvenient to walk. What made him even more depressed was the existence of some kind of magical barrier in the ruins that blocked long-range communication, which frustrated his plan to use the communication stone to get in touch with Lyudmila.
Seeing that it was getting late, Bloom and Nikita both looked tired, and he had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and propose to camp and rest, and continue to look for Lyudmila and Veronica tomorrow morning.
After a brief dinner, Bloom proposed a vigil in turn. However, before he could finish speaking, Nikita indifferently refused: "I'm sorry, the mage doesn't keep vigil. ”
