Chapter Twenty-Three: Asking for Trouble

"Hello, my lord."

Seeing the person in charge come out, and being so reasonable when they met, Acoste naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to show the other party.

This female lord, who looks to be in her 30s but still charming, gives people a very unique feeling.

First of all, she was powerful, and the aura of a high-ranking professional loomed from her, even though it was something she had deliberately concealed.

Secondly, the half-elf sword master could see the other party's profession from the spell casting bag hanging on her waist and the thin sword on her waist, mage part-time warrior, or some profession of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts......

It seems that this town is still Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Yacoste slowly raised his vigilance a little in his heart, but it is still a bit too much to say that he is afraid, and now there are too few people who can leave themselves on this Feren continent, and if you are a legendary professional, there is still a little possibility......

And the purple dragon knight had a look of despair.

The death of its mount also means that its honor is gone, and dragons are often more important than people in the Purple Dragon Legion, because the entire population of the Cormier Empire has reached more than 10 million, while the Earth Walking Dragon has only so many thousand......

His withdrawal from the Purple Dragon Legion and the confiscation of his title are already a foregone conclusion, and if the situation is worse, maybe he will be convicted and imprisoned.

But these are not the most important things, the most important thing is the enemy who ruined his future, but at this moment, he was invited by the female lord like a guest of honor, and entered Morningstar Town with a beautiful scenery.

The rest of the people who were watching the excitement were now scattered in twos and threes, and Arrodas heard a lot of people laughing at him, even though they had thought the other party was not doing enough a minute before......

The vast majority of people are results-oriented.

The "former" Purple Dragon Knight had a look of resentment on his face, and he slowly got up from the ground and came to his dead Purple Dragon.

"Roland, don't worry, I won't let that beast go!"

Acoste finally entered Morningstar.

This town is not big, there are two rows of wooden two-story houses, and there are some civilian facilities on the road, such as blacksmith shops, grocery stores, apothecaries, etc., which look no different from ordinary towns.

But the only thing that is very different from the half-elf Sword Master's imagination is the popularity in the town......

Although this was his first time here, Morningstar was well known among the Cormier Empire, and both its location and the attractive ruins it was surrounded by, it should be a crowded place......

How could it be as empty as now, as if you had come to a ghost town.

The group came to a small hidden room in the temple of Mount Loda.

Tessa Winters immediately waved his hand at his subordinates, and in an instant, except for the young priest named Bordeaux, everyone else disappeared into the temple.

"Lord Count, you must be very curious about what is going on here, right?" The red-haired female lord stroked her sexy long red hair, and said lightly to Acoste.

The half-elf sword saint wondered a little in his heart, what happened in Morningstar Town had something to do with him, he just wanted to come here to rest for a while, and then resupply and leave......

However, out of politeness, Acoste still looked very interested and listened.

Tessa Winterri nodded with satisfaction when she saw the "well-behaved" appearance of the half-elf sword master, and then organized her own sentences to explain to the other party.

"Recently, there have been traces of high-level undead in the Cursed Land near Morningstar Town, and you may not know that there were only some broken ruins left over there as a means to attract foreign adventurers in Morningstar Town."

"But according to the adventurers' reports, they saw corpse sewers, death knights, bone guards and even corpse witches inside last month, and the most worrying thing is that these undead creatures are quite numerous, and they are still gathering on a large scale, and we suspect that some lich or cultist must have taken over it."

"We have sent a distress order to the Dangerous Rock Fort, but the commander there, Weilan Yongjian, can't provide us much help because he has to guard against the threat from the northern orcs, and the two purple dragon knights are already the maximum within his ability."

Speaking of this, the red-haired female lord of Morningstar Town shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

"But it's a pity that because of their arrogance and stupidity, one of them has lost his identity as a purple dragon knight under your attack."

The half-elf sword saint couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, what does this girl mean by this, is it that she wants to kidnap herself with morality in a roundabout way?

And that's exactly what Tessa Winter's means.

"And coincidentally, we recently organized a group of powerful adventurers as an advance team to investigate the situation in the Cursed Lands first, and I will also appear among this adventure team."

"As the Earl of the Temple of Justice, I believe that you will not flinch in the face of the evil here." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the female lord's mouth, "I know that you are not a member of the internal organization of the temple, so I am willing to pay two pieces of extraordinary equipment or gems of equal value from my private collection, and alchemy materials as a reward to hire you, handsome and chic and helpful Lord Earl, you should not refuse my humble request, so as to see the evil and leave like this!" ”

"Forehead ......"

For the first time, Acoste had this feeling of being speechless, and in the past he had the initiative in words and situations no matter what he did, but this time......

He felt as if he had completely fallen into someone else's rhythm.

The most annoying thing is that he still has no way to refuse the other party...... No matter how unwilling he was, as long as he let others know that he was a nobleman of the Temple of Tyr, he would be invisibly limited in his actions.

Even if he is not a member of the temple, he more or less symbolizes the image of the god of justice when he goes out, which is also the reason why the half-elf sword master has always hated joining the temple......

How much you gain is also a responsibility that the world can never change.

I knew that I wouldn't have taken out that medal and pretended to be forced...... Isn't that causing trouble for yourself......

"Well, I promise you." The half-elf sword saint said helplessly.

"But I'm going to get paid first, that's not too much!" (To be continued.) )
