Stunned, Jiang Li simply didn't leave, just stood on the side of the road with his head down and carefully recalled what had happened. It was he who went to the temple to copy the text on the stone tablet, and he also translated the entire text. This shows that the sacrificial text in the temple was originally dedicated to the lizard ancestral spirit. Then this sacrificial text can only be stored before the god of fire that is now enshrined in the temple, because the temple of the lizard clan will definitely worship their ancestral spirits to a higher position, even if they also believe in the god of fire, they will not let their ancestral spirits be subordinated to others, although the two are not in the same rank.

This memorial text has survived to the present day because the words engraved on the inscription are very obscure, and the people who will meet it are very rare, and later people do not know the content of the inscription, so they have always let him stay where and have not destroyed it.

Although this can explain the current situation, it can't solve the knot in Jiang Li's heart, he is here to complete the task, this set of tasks is issued by Lukaya, the goal of the mission looks very funny, but the purpose is very clear, to help the blacksmith left by Lukaya to create a weapon that the battle mage wants, and let this set of skills continue.

According to common sense, these mixed humans and orcs living in Blacksmith Town should be the inheritors of Lukaya's skills, but Jiang Li has already seen their craftsmanship, and it is really not very good. And although the things created by the lizardmen are all ordinary weapons, their attributes are much better, and their level is higher, and they can still play such a good weapon in the case of such a defeat, which shows that their own technical level is higher than that of their opponents.

The Lizardfolk obtained their current craft by stealing information from Blacksmith Town, which is unjustifiable. It is impossible for an apprentice with a skill that the master has not possessed to steal, unless he develops it himself, and it has nothing to do with stealing.

The Lizardmen and the current inhabitants of Blacksmith Town are certainly opposites. And it's the kind of life-and-death hostile relationship. Before the lizardmen were enlightened, they had been on the weak side, and they had survived until now because of their innate abilities such as numbers and adaptability, and even then they were tortured enough, and now that they have awakened, war between the two sides is inevitable.

Before the outbreak of this war, Jiang Li had to do his best to complete the task. At the very least, you have to figure out where you stand.

"Oh, my friend is you. Why are you standing here, quick, follow me to the Queen, she has been waiting for you to appear. A very tall lizard warrior appeared in front of Jiang Li.

"Thinking about something is out of my mind. I was also about to go to see Her Majesty the Queen, so I would have to trouble the general to guide me the way. Jiang Li is not light, who are these lizards, he remembers that there is a general next to the queen who speaks very slippery, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, this one actually ran out for a walk, which is really rare.

"General? I can't afford to be called, I'm the Queen's guard, and you saw me the day before yesterday. Oh, by the way, humans can't tell us apart. How did I forget this. ……”

This one may not have spoken so happily for too long, and he has the potential to chatter, and he said next to him along the way. Jiang Li listened carefully, but he heard a lot of useful information from his words.

Led by the lizardmen, Jiang Li soon arrived at the lizard queen's temporary camp. To Jiang Li's surprise, this camp was not surrounded by shabby curtains, but made of mud, although the houses looked relatively low and the appearance was also very simple, but it was several times better than the dilapidated tents.

"You may be seated. My friend. The house is a little rudimentary, and our new city will be built soon. It's not worth it to put your energy into packing up a house that's about to be abandoned, do you think I'm right, my friend? Seeing that Jiang Li's attention was all on the house, the lizard queen greeted him first.

"It's amazing how quickly you can build a house." Jiang Li came back to his senses and immediately covered up his gaffe with sycophants.

"It's nothing, it's a lizardman innate skill, something that everyone is born with. In the past, we couldn't communicate with the ancestral spirits, and we couldn't get the skills of our ancestors. Thanks to you helping us find the text and translate it accurately, I was able to get in touch with the ancestral spirits again. I don't even know what to use to express my gratitude to you, as long as you need it, I will try to meet it. ”

Jiang Li only then found out that the lizard queen was sitting on the throne, her tail had disappeared, and her body structure had changed significantly, and she looked closer to a human, but her face had not changed much.

"Your Majesty the Queen is polite, I really don't understand something I need to ask." Jiang Li didn't plan to go around the bend anymore, so he just asked everything he wanted to know, and after a friendly conversation, Jiang Li felt completely dizzy.

According to the Lizard Queen, they are the real inhabitants of Blacksmith Town, and the people of Blacksmith Town are later outcasts, and they took them in out of good faith. As the number of immigrants grew, the shortcomings of the town's lack of resources became apparent. At that time, there was a magician with extremely powerful curse magic who decided to help humanity for his own benefit, and they used magic to cut off the connection between the lizardmen and the ancestral spirits, and the lizardmen, who were not protected by the ancestral spirits, slowly degraded their intelligence and were eventually driven out of the town.

What made Jiang Li entangled was not only the story of the lizardman, but also a system prompt.

System: Trigger the quest "Choice" to assassinate the Lizard Queen or assassinate the Mayor of Blacksmith Town.

Mission Description: The truth of Blacksmith Town is right in front of you, this history is not very distant for you, and it is easy to confirm its authenticity, you already have your own guess about the "cursed magician", what choice will you make in the face of such facts?

The assassination was not difficult for Jiang Li, the queen of the lizard clan was only the leader of level fifty, and she had not yet advanced to become a legendary hero. The mayor of Blacksmith Town is only a level fifty-five legend, even easier to kill than the boss.

How to choose, Jiang Li had no idea for a while, Jiang Li had a kind heart that sympathized with the weak, and he wanted to help the lizardmen regain the one that should have belonged to them. But he didn't want to slaughter the inhabitants of Blacksmith Town, and he didn't want to give up the mission Lukaya had given him. But this is an irreconcilable contradiction, and there is no balance at all.

Jiang Li looked through his taskbar, and the series of tasks had been activated eleven, accounting for half of all tasks. The first task is to choose, and the last task is the blacksmith competition. Looking at the other missions that have been activated, the first half is basically related to historical truth, and the second half is related to crafting weapons. The historical truth quests that are activated are all on the lizardmen's side.

"It starts with a choice and ends with a blacksmith contest. No matter what I choose, it doesn't affect weapon crafting. Or will it be closed as soon as I make a decision? ”

"Anyway, if you don't choose, you won't let me continue the mission, right, you choose to help the person you want to help in your way, and it shouldn't be wrong for me to choose the person I want to help in my way, right?"

Jiang Li was alone, and he turned on the mode of chatting with himself, asking and answering himself, or just putting forward hypotheses, he babbled like a madman for a long time.

Coming out of the warehouse, Jiang Li saw that Haimer was directing Guru to carry a large number of weapons into the car.

"Daddy Hemer, do you need my help?"

"No, it's already loaded. Today is the day to pay taxes, and those officials and masters will be concentrated in the center of the town, so you don't have to go over if there is no major event, so as not to cause trouble. Hemmer's face was very bad, and he was also snorting at Gruul.

"I'm an outsider and I don't belong to them, can they still collect my poll tax?" Jiang Li saw that Haimo was in a bad mood and was ready to make him happy.

"Hmph, the poll tax, the blood tax on you is not a problem, if you don't believe it, just try." Hemmer didn't appreciate it and pushed back with a word.

Originally, he was annoyed enough today, but as soon as Daddy Haimer said it, Jiang Li's stubborn temper was also offended. He just wants to see what those officials can do to him.

On the street, many people pushing carts with bitter faces slowly moved forward one after another, as if they were a funeral procession, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Jiang Li entered a state of invisibility, quickly advanced from the roof, and went straight to the front of the team.

No matter how large the town, village, or even the country, taxes are the main source of income, and it is not surprising that the blacksmiths of Blacksmith Town use weapons to pay for their taxes, and even the tax collectors originally asked them to pay for weapons. What makes people so frustrated and angry is that their tax rate is so high, it has reached the level of five taxes and three, and if it weren't for the strong and armed town hall, the townspeople would have rioted long ago.

"What, Rata, do you want to pay less? This is the third time today, and you must know that the mayor is not very patient. The tax collector stroked his tail as he counted the weapons in the car.

The man who came to pay the tax was two meters tall, with a large, thick figure, and at first glance he looked like a good blacksmith, and the weapons in his car were much brighter than the weapons of others.

"Price." The strong man doesn't talk much, and it seems that he is not good at words.

"Price? Rata, do you think I'm your butler? Every time you come to pay taxes, I have to pay you a price, and if you don't want to pay taxes, don't pay them. The fox pressed his top hat unhappily, and wrote down the counted amount in his notebook, noting that Rata owed taxes. Two soldiers approached to carry the weapons on the cart.

"I said the price." Rata gave up, stretched out his big hand to block the soldier, and yelled at the fox.

"Huh? If you dare to resist taxes, arrest me. The fox screamed, and immediately seven or eight soldiers around him, all dressed in light armor and holding long swords in their hands, moved in unison, and looked very powerful.

Undeterred, Rata picked up two large swords from his cart and fought them together, his moves so powerful that they did not look like swords, but with mallets.

The number of soldiers is superior, but the combat effectiveness is too different from Rata, and it only takes a few minutes for Rata to knock over four, and the remaining four soldiers have no ability to attack, so they can only support themselves.

"Shoot the arrows and give me ......." The fox tax collector was furious and shouted at the archers on the castle wall behind him. As soon as he was halfway through his words, a transparent short sword appeared in front of his throat, and the short sword made intimate contact with his neck, and rubbed it a few times.
