Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Counterattack Ends

The shiny powder was specially made silver, and the noodle guy literally widened his eyes as they poured out of the cowhide pocket. Even in this gray weather, the metal that pastors love is still shining.

But this qiē is just the beginning, and the real eye-catcher is the sparkling diamonds on the ground. These are not the luxuries that rely on hype and laser signage in reality. As a common and uncommon spellcasting ingredient, its price is worth its value.

"I'm only now realizing that you, a wanderer, are really a good fit for our church. The look on your face when you look at those shiny objects really looks like old Christopher. ”。

"Old Christopher?" Noodle asked suspiciously, though not quite sure what exactly he was referring to. But the intuition told the halfling that the other party was not a good thing.

"That's a bronze dragon who has a good relationship with our family, but it's a pity that his pursuit of gold, silver, and gems is far from his kind, and even similar to the five-colored dragon. As long as he can afford the price, he is very talkative! But the last time we met was 5 years ago! I didn't expect that so much time had passed in a blink of an eye. ”

"That's right! It's fitting that a halfling wanderer like a dragon would believe in a dragon god......" Rielly patted Laru's head and looked at the noodles with a smirk.

Although he didn't dare to make fun of the future big financier, he glared back at Rielly, who followed the trend, without scruples: "You, a mage who can have eyes shining on wooden rings, are not qualified to talk about me." ”

Looking at the two interviewers in the team, "But I think for that Mr. Christopher." 5 years is just a few more naps! ”

"Yes! Their concept of time is really very different from ours! ”。“ Never mind! Don't talk about that. The ceremony began immediately. ”

As the ceremony began, six Bahamut devotees began chanting the chant of the dragon god of goodness in dragon language around the five-colored altar. On the ground, a circle of diamonds and silver powder glows with an ebb-and-dug chant.

, is leading the rest of the personnel to form a skirmish formation to guard the safety of the ceremony. Who knows if those evil dragon believers who were beaten away will take advantage of this time to kill a horse pistol. If they take advantage of the fact that everyone is led by the ritual to cause heavy casualties, then it will not be able to be drawn.

As the ritual progressed, the dim light around the five-colored altar gradually became normal. As the high tide of the carol came, the silver light, which was originally only two feet above the ground, first turned into a pillar of light, and then spread. A burst of light enveloped the altar and the six celebrants.

When the silver light dissipated, the ominous dare on the five-colored altar could no longer be noticed. At the same time, the silver dust and diamonds that were drawn on the ground at the beginning of the ritual turned into a layer of gray-brown dust as if all their energy had been consumed. At the same time, the 6 celebrant Ya also experienced a sauna. In this winter, I was sweating profusely, and I was still soft, so I sat on the ground panting.

For the situation in front of them, this team is obviously prepared. At the beginning of the ceremony, there were specialized personnel waiting on the periphery. At this time, he immediately stepped forward and handed out a towel to wipe off sweat and a blanket to protect against the cold. In such weather, if these sweating and prostrating companions are left alone, a serious illness can be considered lucky, and those who are unlucky may even die as a result.

"The seal is complete, let's hurry back to the convoy with the heroes on our backs. A sip of hot soup is better for them than anything else......"

The trek back was far more difficult than the one that had come, and the wounded of the battle, the weak comrades, the altars, and other trophies all dragged down the ranks severely......

By the time the sun went down, the team was still a long way from where the convoy had stopped. And when the most important source of warmth disappears from the horizon, the bleak wilderness and the sleeping earth are revealed.

The terrible north wind raged wantonly, and the cold snap froze the night, and it was as silent as a dark piece of cold jade—only the cold moon hung in the sky. Players shivering in the cold wind can clearly feel that the substrate on their bodies is far from enough to cope with such an environment.

"I knew that I would have come out in a winter leather coat! The temperature in the wild at night is really cold to the bones. Noodle grumbled as he wiggled.

"The impact of such bulky costumes in battle is too great, are you willing to be cut down on the battlefield because of that constraint?" Trembling, Barrett straightened the big pockets on his body that were more than when he came.

"Hurry up. We were back at the campsite in about 1 hour or so. Hot soup and campfires await everyone. ”…… The Dragonfire Warlock's breath can not only hurt enemies, but can also be used to protect teammates with special skills.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Barrett pondered. If the dragon cultists reorganize and take advantage of this time to launch a surprise attack. All the previous efforts of the people were absolutely in vain, and I am afraid that they will have to say goodbye to many aborigines forever.

However, if you want to immediately regroup and agitate for a night attack in the event of a new defeat, this is by no means something that ordinary famous generals can do. If the previous leader of the Evil Dragon Cult had such ability, he would not have been beaten on the battlefield in the afternoon and had to abandon the altar wolf bèi and flee.

Walking in the wilderness on a winter night is indeed a torturous affair...... It's only been an hour later. The group saw the camp burning with a bonfire.

The remaining personnel in the camp had already prepared for the warriors who had returned victoriously. Medical care, food, personnel placement, etc., were carried out in an orderly manner from the moment the team stepped into the camp.

And all of you who have been tired for many days are drinking warm soup. Finally, I felt a sense of relaxation from the physical to the mental. It was a night of great sleep for both the player and the natives, with the exception of Rieli, a doping mage, who rolled in her sleeping bag all night.

However, on the way home the next day, Rielly, the hapless mage, collapsed directly into the carriage because the effects of the stimulant had passed, and no one could wake up no matter how much they screamed.

Seeing Rielie lying in the corner of the carriage, Noodles, who had been bullied by the other party, excitedly pulled out a paintbrush, as if she was ready to take revenge. Unfortunately, his wish was destined to be unfulfilled, and Lalu, who stood in front of Rielly, was like a door god, using his own flesh to grasp the insurmountable chasm of Sù noodles.

Just after a moment of entanglement. The noodles, which were inferior to human fighting skills, were pulled and pressed to the floor of the carriage in a cross-fixed manner. Touching his cheeks, he struggled and said, "By the way, do you need to do this?" It's just a few words written on the face of the person in your house. Think about how Rielie bullied me before......"

"It's useless for you to pretend to be pitiful no matter how pitiful you are, people are husband and wife! It's a couple, you know? Although some unscrupulous people will agree or even cooperate with your actions, I don't think Lalu has the guts to do so. Unless he wants to kneel on the washboard in reality......" Barrett, who was sitting in the front, felt very happy as he watched the farce in front of him.

Perhaps because he no longer had to hurry and slowed down, Barrett felt that the bumpy ride was really much better than when he came. Barrett, who was leaning back on the carriage, wandered around the world while savoring the wrestling matches of the little man in the carriage.

――It seems that this young man, who thinks too much, seems to be less interested in meeting players now. Otherwise, with this awkward Secondary 2 "child" here, the situation in front of him will definitely become more joyful.

The four-day return trip can be regarded as uneventful, and although Lalu stops Noodle's action, he does not inform his other half of his intentions. This made Barrett, who was going to continue to watch the show, quite disappointing.

When the carriage finally stopped in front of Sainoa's mansion, the long-lost system prompt appeared: "The quest "Never Be Silent - Counterattack" was completed, and the player gained 8oo experience points. 1oo points of the prestige of the Sanoa family, 1oo points of prestige of the Bahamut church. 2o points of Nohan Kingdom prestige ......"

"Tiamat Church Prestige-2oo, the player has entered the vision of the Tiamat Church, be careful!"

"Alright! Guys, it looks like we've ...... with that side after this operation," Barrett gave his companion the same look you know.

If you say that the blood-stained gray flower participated in the defense of the Sainoa family before, it can be said that it is an accident of an adventurous mission. But in the next step in the altar snatching, in the eyes of many people, he has already really chosen to stand in line. Of course, this may be due to the fact that the players did not directly confront the members of the Church of Tiamat during the defensive battle. However, it may also have something to do with Barrett's wonderful performance in the field that day.

"If it's right, it's right! We will not run away from it. Besides, even if it's okay this time, but there are Bahamuts in the team, we will clash with them sooner or later. "Rielly can see that. But then her voice changed: "So you have to pay attention to our halfling comrades." If the benefits you get from the church in Bahamut are not worth the troubles, I will let Lalu give you a good look. ”

There was a fierce cat beside her, and Rielly, who didn't have to do anything herself, made the halfling wanderer shiver at the deterrence of just one sentence. At this time, Barrett had to come out to relieve the siege: "Miss Mage, please don't forget an important matter." The reason for this qiē is that you have chosen the introductory examination in the Scroll Society. ”

"Thank you for reminding me! After returning to Iron Riding City this time, I must find a way to teach the old man who made things difficult for me a lesson. Rather than answer Barrett's question directly, Rielie shifted the conversation to her own pace.

'It's a woman's prerogative to mess around!' Forget it, anyway, with the sentence just now, Rielly won't dwell on this issue anymore...... 'Barrett, who knows the character of his companion, has his own judgment in his heart.

Rielie is a feminist, and the feminism here is not the fake feminism of 'princess disease', but the real feminism of self-esteem, self-reliance, and self-improvement. This feminist ego makes Rielly less likely to let others take their own responsibility. Just like the previous Four Winds Ring, what should be borne is never dragged in the mud and water.

There may be a lot of work to be done among the natives, but it's much easier for the players. The boy was baptized by the Bahamut Church the day after he arrived in Hammer City. It is a pity that as a conversion ritual within the church, non-believers were not allowed to observe this baptism. made Rielly, who thought she would be able to watch a good show, unhappy, and even Barrett felt a little pity.

The noodles that reappeared after the ritual didn't seem to change, leaving his companions who wanted to tease him a few words at a loss. When the players returned to their previous rooms, Barrett immediately asked curiously, "Did you accept any assignments after joining the Church?" And how about the benefits that were promised to you. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, that gentleman's reputation is still very secure." The Crossbow Sniper specialty is now available, and I'll be able to use it when I get my new specialty. Noodles smiled, "As for the current task, it's very free. It's just for me to be mindful of gathering information about the Dragon Church during my adventures. This should be regarded as an assessment for my newcomers! ”

"Great! This will not affect the rest of our trip. Rielly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "I guess as a player, you shouldn't be too fond of too much restraint for noodles!" (To be continued!)
