Chapter 1 In the Ice and Snow City
In winter, half of the continent is covered in white, and fishermen on the southern islands may still be able to go out to sea in short sleeves, but in the mountainous city of Agoli in the northern part of the continent, it is impossible to live too comfortably without wearing a thick coat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, this "common sense" only applies to ordinary people who have no professional rank, and even further north, on the snow-covered Valo Ice Field, there are still traces of ascetics who do not wear shirts.
"Is Big Brother also a professional?" As the son of the tavernkeeper, Jeff usually helps with guests in the lobby, and unlike everyone else, winter is Jeff's favorite season, when everyone is free except for the hunters who want to hunt snow foxes. So there will be more people coming to Jeff's tavern for a drink. The old legends among the mountain people are the stories that Jeff hears most often, and occasionally a passing adventurer comes in for a drink and tells some interesting stories about the road. Jeff was even lucky enough to hear a real bard play a few times, and poetry with magical powers was the best sound Jeff had ever heard in his life.
"Yes, I'm a professional who came all the way to Mount Argori." Mijas wore a flaming red shirt and a pale blue trouser called jeans, which had recently become popular among miners, and although he wore a black leather trench coat and an obviously expensive snow fox fur scarf, it was clearly not enough to resist the freezing temperatures near the Argoli Mountains. Generally speaking, guys dressed in this kind of dress are powerful professionals, after all, no one will have a hard time with their own lives.
"Big brother is also here to fight the evil dragon?" Jeff has seen many adventurers with professional rank lately, all of whom are on a crusade against dragons for the bounty of the Lord of Argori. For this reason, the city lord of Agoli City has issued a huge sum of 50,000 gold coins, which is one-fifth of the annual tax revenue of the entire Agoli City! Not to mention the benefits of killing a dragon itself.
"Jeff is so smart!" Mijas smiled and rubbed little Jeff's hair, but his eyes were cold, he knew that his mother had just solved the snow trolls flowing in the mountains next door for Agoli City a hundred years ago, otherwise a large snow troll tribe with more than a thousand trolls would be enough to fight with Agoli City, and he didn't expect that this generation of Agoli City City Lords would be so wasteful, you must know that vision is an art in the Arrow Continent.
"Are you here to fight the dragons?" Hearing the conversation between Jeff and Mijas, a paladin with a righteous face walked into the tavern, and the cold wind blew in the moment the wooden door opened, making Jeff shiver.
"Ah, hello guests! Where would you like to sit? Jeff greeted him, and since the tavern doesn't have many customers during the day, the somewhat stingy tavern owner only hires waiters who work night shifts to save wages, and the twelve-year-old Jeff is already able to work well as a waiter during the day.
"It's okay, just sit with me." Looking at the paladin's inquiring gaze, Mijas readily agreed, after all, he was a "peer......
"Have a steak set and swap the wine for green tea." The Paladin ordered the simplest food - Tavern Recommended Set No. 1. By the way, tea from the Far East has swept the entire Arrow continent, and the newly cultivated black tea after the Tang people came here has been sought after by the vast majority of the imperial aristocracy, "tea, porcelain, silk" has become the most important source of foreign exchange in the Tang Kingdom, and even the most exquisite elves cannot copy these three unique crafts, which is really incomprehensible. (You have to take the plain text of the game company, and all non-Tang people can't even learn how to fry tea)
"I don't know Mr. Paladin's surname?" Mijas took the initiative to open the topic.
"My name is Leok, and I am a glorious Hana Paladin." Leok was obviously very proud of his profession, Hana was the god who represented the sun, and he also had the most followers in the Nine Holy Churches, and it was indeed a proud thing for this Mr. Leok to become a Hana Holy Warrior with more than ten professional ranks at the age of twenty.
"I'm Mijas, a knight." Leok was obviously stunned when he heard this profession, you must know that the guy who can become a chivalrous man is either a Tang country person or an elf, this is almost the consensus of the whole continent, but looking at Mijas's appearance, it is obviously not an elf, and the Tang country is a well-known turtle character, basically will not leave the territory of the Tang country, according to them, this is called "the homeland is difficult to leave".
"Obviously, I'm a different guy." Looking at Leok's expression, Mijas explained that this is a somewhat vague statement, which can refer to him as a special non-Tang person who can become a chivalrous man, or it can refer to a special Tang person who is willing to leave his hometown.
Leok accepted the explanation, and then continued his topic: "I heard that you are also a professional who came to fight dragons, but I don't seem to see your companions, and I have to say that it is not realistic to face dragons alone. ”
"But Mr. Leok is also alone, isn't he?" Mijas retorted with a smile.
"I have teammates, but I'll go to Argoli City first." Leok shook his head, "Actually, I don't think our adventuring party is enough to deal with an adult dragon, so I'm going to go ahead and find a few friends to work with. ”
"With all due respect, we're not friends yet." Mijas shook his head, it was the first time he had seen such a pulling adventure team.
"After drinking this, we are friends!" The holy warrior has an inexplicable boldness and strange thinking, not to mention that you are holding a cup of green tea, why will you become your friend if you drink a cup with you!
"Interesting." It's not the first time Mijas has seen adventurers coming to fight the Dragons, but Leok is indeed the most interesting of them. "I don't know how to get into the eyes of Hana's believers?"
"The Light tells me that you are a companion of the Order faction, and that you must be a powerful professional with an epic weapon!" Leok is above board, but Jeff, who was finishing the food on the side, was stunned when he heard it, epic weapons? Did this legendary thing really appear before my eyes? Jeff looked at the long sword on Mijas's back in a daze, and his ordinary appearance was not at all as "shining" as the previous adventurers boasted.
The paladin who got the food began to settle his lunch, and Mijas also began to work on his share, he ordered the special snow bear ribs, which required more time to bake, so although he ordered the dish first, it was served with the paladin.
"Can you tell us about your teammates?" Mijas opens up another topic, but getting to know the members of the party means he's willing to join the adventure party.
"Oh, our 'Scaly Light' adventure party was founded by me and my sister." Leok swallowed a piece of meat steak, "She is a mage who graduated from the Imperial Public Academy, and now she has become an ice mage specializing in the ice department, which is also the biggest guarantee for our trip!" ”
In this environment, ice magic will be strengthened to a considerable extent, and the "evil dragon" is a red dragon according to intelligence, is there any class more suitable for DPS in the red dragon dungeon than an ice mage?
"I'm a divine guardian myself, it's not that I'm boasting, even the lightning breath of the blue dragon can't help me!" It seems that Leok's adventure team has already dealt with a dragon, which is also the most direct factor for them to have the confidence to crusade against the red dragon, Leok pulled out a dagger and said, "This is a dagger made of dragon teeth, and it is also the standard equipment of our team members!" ”
This is indeed something to be proud of, but what they slaughtered was only a young blue dragon, and Mijas had indeed heard the news that a young blue dragon that could be called the scum of the dragon clan was killed in the western part of the empire, and he didn't expect that it was actually the guy in front of him.
"There's also a dwarven defender with better physical defenses than mine, a half-giant berserker, a thief, and a druid." Leok was very proud when he introduced his teammates, "They were all my sister's classmates, and they cooperated quite tacitly!" ”
Mijas nodded, he already understood, this adventure team that has been in the limelight recently is essentially a stunned green team, a group of hot-blooded young people who have just come out of the ivory tower, plus a holy warrior who is more enthusiastic than them, this adventure team can definitely get to this point because of the favor of Lady Luck! Although their strength is good, judging by the strength of this holy warrior captain, they all have at least 15 or more professional levels, but this can only be said to be good, which forbidden land on the continent is not below the legend and has no return?
Although the strength of legendary creatures will basically be a little weaker than the same legendary professionals, but the dragon is obviously no longer on the list, and the adult legendary dragon is enough to resist the legendary professional of the same level with only the biological level, after all, the dragon's breath is already strong enough, and the existence of dragon magic allows a slightly more diligent dragon to defeat most legendary professionals of the same level.
It seems that it is not unreasonable that this young but quite powerful adventuring party does not even have a name in the game, and if it weren't for Mijas's incurrence, they would definitely become a wisp of death under Mia's hands. Mijas thought about it for a moment and decided to save the genius adventure team, so after eating the last bite of the ribs, he nodded to Leok, "I'm willing to join your team for the time being." ”
During the night, Leok's team arrived one after another, and they were not worried that the red dragon would be killed by the adventurers who set off first, most of those guys were megalomaniacs who had just broken through level 10, and were carried away by the huge bounty, thinking that they could smooth out the gap between 10 class levels and more than 10 creature levels with a little cleverness, and that kind of idiot didn't even need to be saved.
The members of the adventure team expressed a warm welcome to Mijas, after all, the red dragon is the strongest existence among the five-colored dragons, and they are not absolutely sure of defeating an adult red dragon, no matter how conceited they are, they will not be stunned to that extent, so it is naturally excellent to have a strong person to join. As for Mijas's character, the Paladin is a humanoid character tester, and being recognized by Leok proves that Mijas is a good person.
In addition, Mijas's delicate physiognomy has also won him a lot of goodwill, after becoming an adult dragon, Mijas's human form has also grown to 20 years old, but for some reason his body is still small, until now he is only 175 cm tall, and his face is still exquisite, but he will no longer be recognized as a woman at first sight, but the potential is still extraordinary, as long as he puts on a little makeup......
"So, to introduce myself, I'm Leok Mins, a level 18 Divine Guardian." This is the captain of the Paladin.
"I'm Tilly Mins, a level 17 ice mage." Miss Mage and Captain Paladin are obviously from aristocratic families, after all, the resources required by the two high-level professionals are definitely a number beyond ordinary people's imagination when converted into gold coins, not to mention that the Paladin and the Mage are the most expensive professions.
"I'm Gray Copperbeard, just call me Gray, I'm a level 18 dwarven defender, you have to believe that even the red dragon can't easily break my big shield!" The dwarf knocked on his epic shield, indeed, the average red dragon takes a lot of effort, but as the dragon of Agori, Mijas is sure that the serious Mia only needs one blow, after all, the legendary magic items in the treasure house of the mother lord are not to be seen.
"My name is Bugas, I don't have a surname, and I'm a level 17 thief." It seems that our Mr. Thief was born in the poor, but he must have shown his talent early and received a patronage, otherwise he would not have been Miss Mage's classmate, nor would he still be a hot-blooded young man who had just emerged from the ivory tower.
"I, Hada Tiger, level 18, berserker." The half-giant spoke for a while, that was at least 240 centimeters taller than Mr. Paladin, you must know that Mr. Paladin himself is a strong man, or a strong young man, and his height of 200 centimeters is enough to make Mijas red-eyed.
"I'm Siru Oak, level 19 druid" Druid and Berserker are two more interesting classes, they are very old, but they refuse to change, so in some places there are some differences from the current class system, for example, after breaking through level 10, they will not change the name of the class, only when they achieve Legendary, Berserker will get their own title, and Legendary Druid is called the Great Druid.
"Hello everyone, I'm Mijas Devanminda, a level 20 swordsman." Mijas usually doesn't report his last name, the dragon surname is magical, saying it in front of intelligent creatures means that you are willing to shelter these creatures, Mijas also did this to prevent his mother from killing this adventure party as soon as they met, but at this time everyone's attention was obviously not on Mijas's surname.
