"The pit?"
A female mage dressed in dark patterned robes stepped out of a magical door that emerged from the swamp, and then her long red hair flew like a feather, fluttering in front of Charles.
"Any Gate + Feather Fall?"
Charles raised his eyebrows, met the eyes of the female mage, and immediately found that this hero lord of Arabe did not have pupils separated from the eyeballs like ordinary humans, and the whole eyeball rippled with a silver-gray color.
She naturally exuded a temperament like time standing still, if it weren't for the female lord also looking at her, her eyes were vivid, and Charles would have thought that the other party was just an ethereal projection.
"Holy Presence, did you alarm the Lord of Stone, Lombrosso?"
The female lord's eyes immediately returned to no fluctuation, and her expression and tone of voice were very cold, but she did not have the high-level professional's lofty demeanor.
Oster's mouth was open, as if to defend himself. Charles stopped the Elven Ranger with a cold look. Lying to a would-be legend isn't asking for death?
Fa Ye has many means to make people unconsciously tell the truth.
"I'm sorry, but in fact it was me and my sloppy companion who inadvertently broke into the heart core of the Stone Lord and alarmed this being."
Charles bowed deeply and apologized, not shirking his responsibility.
But in his words, he still embellished their goal of going to the mine to find gems, and tried to blame the cause of the accident on the "unintentional mistake", hoping to dilute the female lord's thoughts.
"Where's the elemental essence?" The female lord looked at Charles with silver-gray eyes, and looked undeniable about his words.
"Uh......"
Charles raised his head in astonishment, blinked his eyes, and said, "We didn't take anything from the Stone Lord's heart core. Please also be aware of it. ”
"Really?"
The female lord's beautiful eyes showed a hint of playfulness, and she turned her head slightly to look at the elven ranger with flickering eyes, and said flatly: "Maybe you didn't take anything, but your partner may not." ”
As she spoke, a strange light flashed in the female lord's eyes. Charles chuckled in his heart, not daring to look into the eyes of the female lord. He dared to conclude that this battle mage had instantly cast a confusion control spell, and the ranger companion would ask for more blessings.
"You took the elemental essence?" The female lord said to Oster.
"Yes."
Ouster had already been hit by the [Enchanting Human] spell instantly issued by the female lord, his expression was a little sluggish, and he raised his palm while responding, and after slowly spreading his five fingers, a strip of prismatic crystals emitting dazzling earthy yellow rays appeared in his palm.
The female lord didn't move, and lightly tapped her round and white chin, and the bar prismatic crystal automatically left Oster's palm and flew in front of her.
"The Mage's Hand." Charles said secretly. The battle mage made another zero-ring trick in an instant. Charles suddenly missed his previous career as a mage. The mage has a lot of spells that the convenience of the priest cannot have.
"Sure enough, it's elemental essence."
The female realm glanced at the elemental crystal, and put the crystal into a certain piece of space equipment on her body. Charles wasn't sure if the spatial artifact was a belt, a ring, or some other bits and pieces. After all, a high-level mage's equipment is too gorgeous, and every piece is superb.
Milman didn't seem to have any intention of holding Charles and Olster accountable, and after retrieving the elemental crystal, he glanced at Anthony's gang, and the short and delicate magic stick shook gently in his hand, ready to cast a spell to teleport.
"Wait!"
Charles took the initiative to stop the female lord.
Finally met the ruler of the Arabe region, how could Charles let her leave casually. As a Holy Presence, when you are qualified to go to the Mage Tower to meet this female lord, you don't know how many years and months it will be, and you must seize the opportunity.
"The Holy Predent?" The female mage paused slightly, and cast a majestic glance.
At this moment, Charles unhurriedly took out the [Royal Mage Guild Medal of Honor] placed in the first slot of the inventory, held it in the palm of his hand, and lowered his head to hide the expression on his face.
"Dear Lord Arabe, in fact, I am a priest from Susar......"
Charles said that he stopped and did not continue.
Too much talk can make you lose it all.
He believed that his words, combined with the medal in his hand, would definitely make the female battle mage lord in front of him have a very rich association.
Although Cormier is a monarchy and has reached the peak of its power under the reign of the previous king, Azeen IV, the millennium kingdom has actually returned to its previous loose state after the 'Demon Dragon Rebellion' and the Demon Dragon died together.
The Royal Mage and the Purple Dragon Legion are the two banners of the royal family and the Imperial Party.
And Arabe's lord, Milman Raul, although she was born in the War Mage Legion, is strictly a local nobleman with her own positions and interests, so she naturally has contradictions with the central royal family.
Moreover, it is said that during the Goblin War a few decades ago, Arabe was occupied by a coalition of goblins and orcs, which brought shame on the Raul family. Reinforcements from the Imperial Capital and other realms were belated, and it was the young Milman who eventually reorganized his legion and recaptured the family domain.
There's a lot to be said about this history, and conspirators can definitely unearth a whole bunch of wild historical secrets.
So Charles believes that the female lord will think of many things from this medal.
There are tens of thousands of players in Arabe, and there are also 100,000 natives, and there are very few characters who can be remembered and remembered by the female lord. All Charles had to do was make the female lord impress him.
In his mind, the odds of a good impression completely outweigh a bad impression. Because Charles had read a book about the Royal Mage Guild and the War Mage Legion in the Hall of the Crown.
Milman and the current president of the Mage Guild, Caladnay, were both disciples of the legendary Van Geda Heist. Although the two are now in their respective positions, there is still some friendship among them.
"It's ......"
Sure enough, the moment she caught a glimpse of the medal in Charles' hand, the female lord's face changed.
"Caladnay actually gave you this medal......" The female lord's words revealed a hint of disbelief, her eyes changed for a while, and she muttered something repeatedly, but Charles couldn't hear it clearly.
"Come with me, Holy Presence."
The female lord revoked the teleportation technique she was preparing, stared deeply at the charr, and walked on the lizard swamp with her wand in hand.
"You go back first."
At this time, Oster had already broken free from the control of the [Enchanting Human] spell, and his head was covered in cold sweat and looked like he had seen a ghost. Charles said a word to him, and hurried after the female lord.
"Hoo ......"
After the two walked away from each other, Anthony's group, who had been frozen at the beginning of the appearance of the female lord, suddenly sat down on the ground as if they had been de-petrified.
"That woman!!"
Anthony is the priest of Losanda and can best sense the horror of the aboriginal female mage just now. There was still a look of fear in his eyes. Just now, the five members of the team were imprisoned by the magic energy that Mo Ming surged, and the feeling of being still, Anthony really didn't want to experience it a second time.
"Let's go."
The priest of Loshanda woke up four other frightened companions and hurried out of the swamp.
Soon after, a night wind also woke Osster awake. The elven ranger shook his body and fled with a pale face.
……
Charles walks nocturnally on the swamp with the female lord.
I didn't see any other players, and I didn't have any lizardmen to harass me, and I just passed through the land where the Stone Lord was robbed, and it was a little too quiet.
The priest followed the female lordess, and his heart was not as calm as his expression.
The more the female lord didn't speak, the more apprehensive he became. For he could not deduce from the words what the female lord meant.
Is it messed up?
Charles shook his head secretly, rejecting his suspicions.
No way.
From Arabe's information in recent years, he speculated that this territory had actually been separated from the imperial capital for a long time. The rift is from the moment Arabe was overrun by a coalition of goblins and orcs. Therefore, the female lord's connection with Karadnay's side and Van Geda's side should be very weak.
If the female lord did not go and verify with the two sages herself, she would not have understood the real reason why the Medal of Honor was in his hands. Charles didn't know why.
That's the vulnerability he's going to exploit. The charr knew that the extra pass to the Temple of the Crowns was an incomparably precious thing.
"The Holy Presence."
After walking for about half a mile, the female lord finally spoke, but she didn't stop.
"A new catastrophe is already looming in Cormier, and you know what, the orc tribe in the Northern Storm Horn Mountains has another leader, and I suspect they will soon be heading south again."
"Arabe, like the imperial capital Susar, hides many filthy maggots and evil believers. These things must be cleaned up before the war begins. ”
Speaking of which, Charles could sense the awe-inspiring murderous intent in the female lord's words.
"The royal family has a lot of constraints in Susar, so it's impossible to make a big move to find out these things. However, under the rule of the Raul family, Arabe was different. ”
"Since Caladnay handed over the medal to you, it means that you are the Destiny of Heaven that he favors, and he chooses to believe in you, and I choose to believe in you."
The female lord turned around, looked directly at Charles with a pair of majestic eyes, and said slowly, "However, you must first prove your ability to the people of Arabe. ”
"When you're ready, come to Arabe's Mage Tower to find me. Remember, the time is limited to one month. ”
Leaving these words, the female lord waved her magic stick, and a six-pointed star circle appeared on the soles of her feet, and disappeared in an instant.
Charles stood on the swamp, heart pounding.
He seems to have used the medal to trick him into a terrific regional main story mission.
It's definitely about Arabe's war with the orcs of the Northern Mountains!
My head was a little dizzy. When Charles decided to show the Medal of Honor, he actually set his goal very low, asking only the female lord to have an impression of him, rather than treating him as a passerby.
But the results far exceeded expectations.
The plot line about the war is certainly not short, and the player needs to reach the corresponding level. From the solemn tone of the female lord when she left, you can get a glimpse of one or two.
"Ascend to level ten first, no, upgrade to level twelve, and when you come into contact with the Four Rings Divine Technique, then deal with this long line. If you spend a month working experience, it should be about the same. Charles' eyes flickered in thought. —————————————————————————————
