"That's right! In their opinion, since the white dragon wants to eat intelligent creatures, it is better to trick some irrelevant outsiders to feed it. As long as the people in your village are okay, nothing else matters. As Barrett said this, he stared blankly at the village chief of Farmory, who was tied up like a pig to be slaughtered.

Although feeding the dragon is much worse than sacrificing to the devil and demons. But even so, those murderous rogues actually have the right to despise these fellows - after all, there is still a long distance between the full evil and the loss of conscience.

Compared to Barrett's cold face, the expressions of the members of the 'Silver Seal' team of the 'Good Dragon God' Church when they looked at the village chief of Farmory were already undisguised anger and hatred. Colluding with evil dragons and taking advantage of adventurers' 'compassion' and 'sense of responsibility' to kill their fellow citizens is a capital crime in the eyes of the believers of these 'Good Dragon God' churches.

Now their only internal disagreement is whether to execute this guy on the spot, or to take him to the nearest city and go to a public trial to justify his execution. The Warlock Miss Ventrice and the others prefer the former, in case the night is too long—after all, the work of dealing with the white dragon still has to be carried out, and if the other party escapes while you are fighting, it will be more than worth the loss. The holy warrior Alexis, on the other hand, insisted on the latter, and in his opinion the educational and cautionary significance of the public trial was also very important.

"Don't you think it's weird? Why are there so many adventurers who are tricked into coming here to die? Claudia finally couldn't help but ask at this point.

Barrett shook his head and turned around: "The news between the adventurers is not fast, and it seems that they have no intention of going to the relevant union organization to publicly announce the mission. And the guy named Stone that these guys specially sent out was a dumbfounder himself, and he didn't understand the purpose of Tululu Village's actions. Since you have deceived yourself, it is much easier to deceive others. Of course, it is inevitable that there is money and silk that touches people's hearts, if it weren't for the fame and fortune after slaying the dragon to dazzle the fans, no one would have run to such a remote place with a desire for profit. ”

Posting a task at most places or even on bulletin boards requires a certain amount of deposit. And from the stone who was dispatched, there is no indication that the other party can achieve such a basic bottom line - Tululu Village is not even willing to pay this money. So in the past, he could only fool those who had just entered the industry in the tavern or other places. As a result, messages naturally travel more slowly and are more prone to distortion.

However, it is precisely because of this practice that the life and death of those adventurers who were plagued before will not be associated with the 'dragon disaster' in Tululu Village. The adventurers on the Western Continent are like leeks in the field, after cutting a stubble, it won't be long before there is a new batch. Especially those who are new to the profession may die in a goblin den at any time. Even if you are alive, it is normal to not hear from you for 2-3 years because of communication problems. Who cares but their friends and family?

It's just that I didn't expect that this time their actions would be noticed by the 'Good Dragon God' Church. As an organization that found out that the evil dragon was raging, it had to go up to the anus regardless of whether it was interested or not, and sending a team that matched the strength of the target naturally caught Tululu Village off guard. Originally, he just wanted to deceive a few little white rabbits, but it ended up attracting man-eating tigers. However, after these mountain people do this kind of thing, as long as they don't stop, they will eventually encounter a similar situation - it's just a matter of time.

"Whoever says it's all greedy! Surely there are no enthusiastic young people among them who want to defend world peace? Miss Venteris, the Warlock, immediately waved her fist and expressed her displeasure with Barrett's assessment.

'Young man! said that it was for ideals, but in fact, most of them were not for fame and fortune after the success of dragon slaying! Although he had this rather dismissive thought in his heart, Barrett did not dare to say it directly. After this period of contact, it was obvious to him that the warlock in front of him was just as emotional as her kind. If you accidentally get angry, the next step is definitely a lot of trouble. Therefore, he can only say brightly: "Maybe there is!" ”

"Don't argue about that. Before going out to deal with the dragon, how to deal with these villagers in Tululu Village must first come up with a plan. "Mr. Alexis, the paladin who was cleaning the battlefield (treating the wounded), finally had time to spare—the rest either didn't need treatment or he couldn't save the wounds.

As an expert in mountain jungle warfare, Ranger Ralphs immediately took over the conversation and expressed his opinion: "That's right! You can't just leave it alone. Otherwise, with their familiarity with this area and their previous cooperation with the evil dragon, they are fully capable of causing us a lot of trouble. ”

"Even if they don't inform the dragons, falling rocks on the narrow mountain path will still pose a threat to us." Barrett then nodded, apparently agreeing with Ralphs.

Hearing this, Rielly frowned first: "But what now!" The combined number of our two teams is only 13. It is very difficult to see the inhabitants of a village, even a small mountain village. What's more, when dealing with the White Dragon, we must also go all out. ”

"It's a nuisance!" All of you present immediately fell into this trouble. If it's a guy from the evil camp, maybe this is the time to choose slaughter to deal with the problem. But in front of them, these members of the camp who are either kind or neutral have to find a way to solve such a problem.

Barrett, who touched his chin and thought about it for a while, nodded: "If you give up treating them, these people's injuries should be able to contain those who are good at the village." As for the rest of the old and weak women and children, we can use a few of them who are burdened with blood debts to intimidate. Anyway, they deserve to die, so let them play a role before they die! Of course, we are responsible for this kind of work, so that it will not be difficult for our friends in the church to do it. ”

"Those of them who are not deeply involved should still have the possibility of salvation. But I'm afraid it will take a long time, and we probably can't wait that long now. "The paladin Alexis was tempted to oppose it, but in the end he took a tacit attitude. Although this kind of behavior will affect him to some extent, as long as he does not actively participate, it will not be too much of a problem.

At this time, the prophet Chomley expressed his concern: "Even with such a threat, I am afraid that there is no guarantee that no one will take the risk." Everyone should understand that the fear that the white dragon has imprinted in their memories over the years is by no means something that we can easily suppress. ”

"And how about giving them a favor?" The halfling wanderer suggested at this point.

Barrett shook his head: "I don't think that such a close-knit village dweller can be easily bought by us outsiders who have just had a conflict. Only by seriously investigating and clarifying the potential contradictions within them will it be possible to make targeted choices to win over and intimidate. And it takes a lot of time to prepare just a little in advance, but what we need most is time. Who knows when that white dragon will find out the problem. You must know that the white dragon that can drive the village can no longer be treated with the attitude of a wild beast. ”

Domination by fear and authority, as long as the disparity in strength is guaranteed is more effective than the policy of softness - it is indeed better to combine grace and power, but it requires great political skill to ensure the balance between grace and authority. There is inevitably a need to pull one faction and fight another. However, which side to win over and which side to suppress is often a matter of having complete information. But for the two teams in front of them, there are countless difficulties in trying to achieve such a goal. The biggest trouble here is the threat from the damn white dragon that you're the target of this mission.

"Judging from the information we have just received, there are still some days before the time for the White Dragon to collect the diamonds. However, in terms of meat, it is already very close, as short as 7-8 days and as long as 10-12 days, and the white dragon will come to the door if he does not see the tribute offered. Clematis clenched the mace in his hand at this time.

Prophet Chomli suddenly proposed, "Do you think it is possible for us to kill the white dragon here when it comes on its own initiative?" ”

"Unless you have some means to limit its flight, I don't think we have the strength to do that. This is still the premise that the age group of the white dragon is completely consistent with the confession they confessed. And although I can guarantee that this guy is telling the truth just now, their understanding of the white dragon is too vague, and it is easy to misjudge. Hearing this, Barrett immediately turned his gaze to the members of the Church of the Dragon God of Good.

Ever since having fought the Red Dragon once in the Kingdom of Cruze, players have learned that there is nothing wrong with trying to defeat the White Dragon in Intelligence (if the Intelligence is correct) with their strength. However, if you want to kill it, you must block it in your lair or set a trap that limits its ability to fly.

The ability to fly high altitudes and speeds is not only advantageous in combat, but also makes it difficult for current players to escape. Therefore, if the white dragon who took the initiative to ambush in Tululu Village wants to succeed, he can only look at the few people of the 'Good Dragon God' Church, and what targeted means they don't know.

Turning to look at his surroundings, the prophet Chomli said, "It's hard! Why don't we set out now to deal with the white dragon, and take advantage of the time before those mountain people report the news. Anyway, apart from a fireball spell just now, we didn't have any big consumption. ”

"Do you want to go now? In the dragon's lair, we can let this guy lead the way. As he said this, Barrett kicked the village chief of Farmey on the ground. However, he still has some doubts: "The problem is that the sun is about to go down. I don't know how many of you have dark vision, but many of my teammates aren't used to fighting at night. And we can't be sure that the white dragon must be in the lair, if we have to wait for a long time, what if the other guys in this village find the white dragon first? ”

"And after a whole day of walking on the mountain road, everyone is not in a state! According to this person, from here to the white dragon's lair, you have to climb two mountains, and there is still no type of mountain road in between. I'm afraid it's almost midnight by the time we get there. Rieli, who was on the sidelines, also disagreed with Chomley's proposal.

"That's not right! Now I have to go right away. Don't forget that we only controlled the front gate of Tululu Village, who knows if there are already villagers who have fled through the back door to report to the White Dragon. Chomli then pulled out a box from his belt, "I have three 'Ride the Wind' scrolls in my hand, enough for all of us to use. I guess this mage should be able to use wind magic! In this way, it is possible to reach the target location from the air in a short time. ”

'Ride the Wind' is a spell that allows the recipient to transform themselves into a cloud of mist that travels through the air at high speed, as if they were vaporizing their form. The recipient can bring other creatures with them and act independently.

Typically, the Wind Walker moves at a speed of 10 feet and has perfect maneuverability. If the recipient wishes, a magical wind can blow the Wind Walker up, moving at speeds of up to 100 feet per second. But maneuverability was reduced to poor. At the same time, the Wind Walker is not invisible, but has a translucent mist. If you are dressed in white, there is a high chance that you will be mistaken for something like clouds, fog, or steam.

Although while the spell lasts, the Wind Runner can revert back to its original form at any time, and then revert back to a cloud form. However, it takes 30 seconds to turn into steam and back from steam, and counts towards the duration of the spell (time spent in a solid body also counts towards the duration). At the last minute of the spell's duration, the Wind Runner in the cloud state automatically descends at a rate of 10 feet per second, although it can also descend faster if desired. This effect is a warning that the spell is about to end.

"The altitude here is not too low, and the mountain wind is so strong. Even if you have a wind-making technique, it's too dangerous to use 'Ride the Wind'! Rielly frowned, "And Jomli Prophet, your strength is not strong enough to use this spell. The chance of failure to overcast spells is very high. ”

"Can you guys come up with a better way?" Speaking of this, the prophet Chomli played with the scrolls in his hand, "If I succeed in activating them, will you be willing to gamble with me?" I have a hunch that this plan will be successful! (To be continued.) )
