Chapter 35: The Crushed IQ
"How can you trust them to give such powerful magical equipment to that giant like this, what if they reneged on the treaty after slaying the dragon, and you also signed a magic contract with them?"
As soon as he walked out of the giant's cave, Yacoste grabbed the collar flower on Mavi's armor and shouted excitedly, because the half-elf was overemotional, the saliva in his mouth sprayed the watchman in the face like a machine gun, but this can't be blamed on Yacoste, the half-elf is too angry, this is like changing to the enemy in his eyes, why is this day elf so stupid.
Yacoste's move shocked the others, and the members of the Dragon Hunt Adventure Team had already covered their eyes, for fear of seeing the next bloody disaster.
However, their disgusting speculation did not happen, and Mavi did not react to the angry Acoste, she calmly took out a handkerchief from her space bag and touched her face, and then showed a look of disdain.
"You think I'm going to give them powerful magical items that don't have defects?"
"Uh...... Could it be that there is a curse in that magic item? Yacoste was stunned by Mavi's words, it turned out that the watchman was calculating the other party, this kind of cursed item is rare on the continent of Faerun, and generally no one else can see the clue except for the mage's identification technique or people with high identification skills. Obviously, the mountain giants can't get along with either.
This kind of cursed item is very deceitful, and in his previous life, Acoste remembered that a player had obtained a similar magic bracelet, which could have the powerful effect of the instantaneous 7-ring plastic energy spell Burst Fireball Technique, but this player was finally killed by his own bracelet. This is because this cursed item has a 50% chance of self-destructing.
"Oh, I'm sorry I blamed you for being so stupid about those giants. They dare to ask for something from strangers......" Acoste grunted, loosening the other's collar and starting to taunt the other's IQ.
"You think those mountain giants have a low IQ, hehe, I think their IQ is much higher than yours, but they are too greedy." Mavedri was unforgiving, continuing to taunt Acoste. "Do you really want to ask why they would fight the blue dragon for a magic item?"
Yacoste nodded, he didn't dare to look at Mavi's blue eyes now, he was really faceless......
"That's because the blue dragon called Alogweth is dominating this place. It forces the creatures around it to become its servants, and pays the blue dragon a tribute every year, and if it is not satisfied with the treasure that a certain race pays that year, it will destroy that race. This group of mountain giants has undoubtedly been squeezed enough. So it's good to put it to use. Mavi said to Acoste like a teacher, and the half-elf listened like a student, he thought that his plan to provoke the Shadow Thief and the Temple of Dawn in Askatra was very powerful, but compared to Mavi, it seemed to be the same thing.
"Then why do you have to slay dragons? Look at the treasures on your body, and you are not a person who is short of money? Yacoste raised his hand to ask, he suddenly realized that Mavi must have spent a long time investigating in detail for this operation, but why did the other party do this?
"No comment." The watchman saw the curious Acoste drop a sentence coldly, and then left the back of his head to Acoste......
"Cut. If you don't say it, you don't say it. The half-elf ate a closed door, and the old man's face was slightly red, but he was in a good mood, and Acoste didn't care about this at all. He asked so much before just to give himself a bottom in his heart, and Acoste couldn't be more satisfied with Mavi's plan.
Acoste hummed a minor tune all the way back to his camp and began to bury the pot and cook, at this time tomorrow he may have stood on the corpse of the blue dragon, thinking about the scene of himself holding a long sword high, looking into the distance, and stepping on the giant beast of the wilderness......
However, Acoste also has brains, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, as long as the blue dragon does not lose its breath, then it is still a five-colored dragon with the second strongest dragon, if Acoste and his party take it lightly, then it is likely to be a disaster to greet them.
The rest of the elves, except for the half-elves, were doing their own business with their heads down, some using essential oils to maintain their weapons, while others took out books about dragons and studied them. Of course, there are also mavericks, and the two dwarves Kogan and Cantor still get together and secretly fight together, and from time to time they exaggerate their previous adventures dozens of times and brag about them, and then laugh. If you want to reproach them, the two dwarves will definitely give them a roll of the eyes, according to the dwarves themselves, they are now emboldened by themselves, and the dwarves who have drunk are fearless, whether they are lizards or dragons......
_______________________
The night is vast, and the Cormier Mountains will be particularly dark once it is night, because it is far away from people, there are no lights and hustle and bustle, which makes Acoste who has stayed in the bridge area of the gold coin capital have a great feeling.
The half-elf strode out of his tent and climbed up a steep slope along the uneven mountain path. Perhaps because of the altitude, Acoste felt that the moon was exceptionally bright today, and the wind in the canyon had blown all the silver-white hair on the half-elf's forehead, but he squinted his eyes and opened his hands, as if he was enjoying it.
"Do you also like to watch the night view?" A sigh rang out behind Acoste, and the half-elf didn't look back, he already knew who was sitting there.
"No, I just can't sleep." Yacoste turned, and in the shadows not far from him, Mavi was sitting there with her hands on her knees, she took off the heavy armor she had been wearing, and changed into a nightgown with a moon and sun pattern, but even the wide nightgown could not hide the proud figure of the other party, and a pair of big eyes did not know where to look. Acoste laughed and walked over to sit side by side with the watcher.
"You are a sun elf, but why do you get the surname called Falling Star, I remember that those day elves are all surnamed Sun Chaser, Yan Ying, and Morning Song, and I have never seen a sun elf with stars as the surname word." The half-elf and the watcher sat on a rock and were silent for a long time, and Acoste scratched his head to ask the doubts in his mind, but he still thought that it might be someone else's privacy.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Do you believe in allies?" Mavi didn't answer the question directly, but looked at Acoste and asked rhetorically, the half-elf found a look in the other party's expression for the first time except for the battle, but it was a little sad.
"I won't trust my allies, but I will trust my teammates and my friends, and I will believe in them unconditionally." Yacoste was watched by Mavi all the time, and somehow got nervous. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Even if it is to pay for them, I will not hesitate to do so." “
"Are the people you're with right now your teammates and friends?" The watcher tilted his head, his long, dark green hair draped over the ground as she moved.
"Of course, they're my proudest teammates and I'm their most trusted captain." When Yacoste talked about his teammates, his whole person became very confident, and his tense body relaxed.
"It's narcissistic." Mavi withdrew her gaze from Acoste and looked back into the unknown distance, but the atmosphere between them had unconsciously relaxed, and the watcher's inaccessible aura had vanished at this moment.
"Why are you calling me your husband to the Mountain Giants today?" Acoste suddenly thought of this stalk and asked casually.
"Because the Mountain Giants value family relationships, if I don't, they're going to attack you." Mavi replied casually, his tone sounding perfunctory.
"Then why did you ask me to go in with you?" Acoste felt that there was something wrong with the logic of the Sun Elves, as long as he didn't call himself at the beginning, he would be nothing.
"Because if the talks fall apart, there will be a war, and this is when you will come in handy." Mavi replied easily, but the answer he gave made the half-elf a little inexplicably angry.
