Chapter 154: The Wilting Gray Flower
Although it is not known what the purpose of the Earl of Boreham was to arrange for Lady Blatch and Knight Bapti to be involved in this operation. www.biquge.info But Barrett would never think that the other party did it unintentionally - as long as he had the heart, it was not difficult to deserve what could go wrong with the two of them being put together.
As for saying that there is no such all-rounder in the territory, it is also impossible. If nothing else, finding a single druid alone would solve most of the problems - after all, the Rangers weren't going to the ruins to avoid encountering the complicated traps. In this environment, the combination of miscellaneous bachelors + imitators may not be able to take much advantage.
So there must be a different kind of intention behind this. It's just that Barrett, who doesn't know the inside story very well, hasn't been able to figure it out for a while-who let him not talk about the gossip he heard, and it didn't come from the perspective of the person concerned!
While Barrett was busy satisfying his gossip here, the battle belonging to the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group was over. At this time, the players have long since lost the ease and comfort of traveling. The anvil at the front looked as if it had just been fished out of a large brown dye vat—and there was not a trace of metallic luster on the body.
The blue steel full-body armor from the dwarven craft could no longer see the large steel arc at this time—the shoulder armor and arm armor were all cracked, and the lining and knee pads didn't know where to throw them. Even the strongest breastplates were riddled with pitted openings. And the helmet that was originally responsible for protecting the head didn't know where it fell at this time. Only the Adamantite Shield, which was finally able to be bought, was able to maintain its original appearance.
At the same time, there was viscous blood hanging on the flat tattered armor that looked like the bones of a spiked demon, some of them flowed slowly with Sun Zhe's cracks and grooves, some hung on the spikes and swayed back and forth, and some condensed into beads of blood like rubber. Although the blood was anvil, it was more of what he had glued to during the battle.
In addition to blood, the armor had clods of clay, rags, broken leaves, and twigs. Combined with the anvil's scattered beard and hair coagulated by blood plasma, and his face with a wound that runs through the bridge of his nose, it feels a different kind of hideousness.
Since even the metal armor has become the appearance in front of him, then the anvil himself will naturally not be happy. If it weren't for the 'Heart of Stone', 'Blood of Stone' and 'Defensive Stance', even with Clematis's special treatment, it would be difficult for the anvil to continue standing now.
Of course, Clematis's own condition is not much better now. Because after Barrett left, she became the most important frontline force outside of the anvil in the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower'. Although in this escort mission, there was no shortage of hand-to-hand combatants in the caravan, and as a priest, Clematis did not need to rush to the front line at the first time. But if there was any instability on the front, or if there was an enemy who broke through the blockade, she still had to go up and plug the leak.
The pastor, who came and went, inevitably became embarrassed. Compared to the anvil with the Adamantite Shield, the light steel shield in Klaimatis's hand had long since disappeared - according to the Scrooge's character, she would not give up her finances easily unless she completely lost the possibility of repair.
At this time, she was vigorously pulling out the arrows that had been pierced into the flesh from her body. Thanks to the protection of the 'Hidden Mist Armor', Klaymatis didn't suffer too much. However, if she were to be killed against the Lucia like an anvil, this enchanted armor based on chain mail would probably be unbearable.
Looking at the arrows that drilled into between the white ring locks, Kleimatis's brow never opened: "It seems that I will have to find a way to change to a pair of heavy armor like an anvil next." Otherwise, if the situation is more critical, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. ”
"You don't have to be so careful! By the time of the next operation, Barrett would definitely be back. We won't have to work as hard as we do now. As Claudia said this, she didn't forget to look back at the bronze wyvern statue around her waist from time to time.
In the battle just now, this statue was transformed into a bronze flying dragon, and it can be said that it was extremely heroic. If it weren't for this fearless minion swooping down on the enemy's rear caster, the battle wouldn't have ended right now.
However, the bipedal wyvern's heroic performance and objective results were also exchanged for its own injuries. Although it didn't run out of time, the Wyvern was the equivalent of being killed and turned back into a statue. So for the next 1 week, Claudia couldn't summon this good guard of her own.
Fortunately, since there is this bipedal wyvern behind enemy lines, Claudia naturally has no need to fight to the death with the big-headed soldiers. However, at this time, the fruit on the green rattan on her wrist had also disappeared, apparently also consumed in the battle just now.
You must know that the thorn bush created by that strange thing can not only restrict the enemy's movement, but also has not too low lethality. And because of the effect of strange objects, it is also quite troublesome for the Lucians to use spells to disperse. So in the battle just now, it was natural that he made a lot of contributions.
Relying on these means, Claudia Love can naturally hide in a relatively safe place and exert her 'lip service' kung fu to the fullest. The aborigines naturally no longer cared about her 'greedy life and fear of death' behavior because of her strange things and good auxiliary effects—partly because Claudia also contributed after all. On the other hand, it is because she is more or less a 'legal profession' and there is still a difference between the ** silk station in front of her.
So Claudia's image can be said to be the best among the players present. In addition to the dirt and grass juice that inevitably came from the crawling and rolling, the wounds on her body had long since healed - although she was inevitably hit by two arrows in the melee that followed, she had already been pulled out by herself after the battle. So after treating the wound, I had time to chat there.
Compared to Claudia, who had almost recovered from her injuries, Clematis, who had knife wounds and impact injuries in addition to arrow wounds, was much more sad. But even so, she reluctantly answered her friend's question: "Don't expect Barrett." Even if he was willing to come back, his aboriginal boss would not agree. Otherwise, do you think it's normal that we were assigned this job before we came back? ”
"The Aborigines don't want Barrett to be with us, meow?" At this time, not far from the two of them, the bed came, and Lalu's voice was weak. If there was one player who was the most seriously injured in the battle just now, it was the cat boy who was still lying on the stretcher.
Although the fighting skills of the cat-man warrior monk are among the best among the 'blood-stained gray flowers' who left Barrett. However, lacking armor to protect herself, she is indeed not suitable for competing with the enemy on the battlefield, but can only exert her greatest power on some special battlefields. But where to go to war is not up to Laru herself.
At the beginning of the melee today, Lalu still relied on his flexible body, quick movements, and good weapons and equipment to play in style. Few Lucia soldiers survived the scythe blow of the transformed cat-man warrior monk's scythe.
However, this eye-catching performance naturally attracted the criticism of those Lucia officers as well. When the opponent flanked Lalu left and right, the cat-man warrior monk realized that he had fallen into danger - if it was really somewhere else, the catboy could not beat him and still be able to use his speed advantage to shake off people and escape. But now, this battlefield with inconvenient activities has become her most important talisman.
―――――― make up tomorrow
I said, Virginia, you really don't shy away from anything. You actually tell this kind of method in front of yourself as a group of victims. I really don't know what words to use to describe it at this moment. In addition to the cunning sentence just now, Georgie was really suppressed by the previous performance of the Virginia Priest.
"Cunning! Yes, we are cunning, and how can we accomplish our business if we are not cunning? The Virginia Priest was not at all ashamed of Georgie's words. He stroked the prickly stubble on his chin with his fingers and continued, "Unlike those who can do nonsense, we are a good group, so there are many things we can't do. In addition, our Lord is the supreme being in the realm of the current order, so we must basically abide by the order and rules of the current order. Under these constraints, our struggle against the evil organization is like being in a flail by nature. In such a situation, if you don't use your brain, wouldn't you stick your head out and let people cut it off? ”
Georgie thought back to the lords and their heirs he had seen last autumn, and found that there were no evildoers. At most, there is some incompetence in governing the country: "It feels right to say that!" But I don't think the existing lords of the Duchy of Norhan will be truly evil. And it's okay to do this like you once or twice, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't leak out in the long run, so will anyone come back to cooperate with you in the future? ”
"Looks like Lord Boram misunderstood what I just explained. Before the contract is signed, it is a process of testing each other, and this is the time to test the strength and heritage of both parties. Saying that, the Virginia priest showed a noble look like a saint, "And do you think there is any other organization that is so honest as us when it comes to cooperation?" Even believers in the god of trade and wealth don't mind using a few fraudulent means before signing a contract. We are as rare as the flames of the thorn birds and the horns of the unicorns of the Celestial Realm! ”
Well, this kind of commercial deception was not uncommon even in the era before the crossing of the country, when industrial civilization was extremely developed, the circulation of goods was prosperous, and the law was sound. Not to mention in this period when the social structure is almost obscurant. But if you do something about the contract, isn't it the devil's exclusive act in this world? 'It's hard for Georgie to imagine that there are so many fraudulent contracts in this environment. At least he has signed a lot of contracts in his own life, at least he hasn't found it yet, "I can't understand this kind of behavior during the negotiations!" But it seems that this kind of thing is the exclusive domain of the devil. I doubt you're going to be bothering with the contracts you signed with our realm? ”
It's different, it's different. Anyway, we're just doing it on the contract just in case. If the cooperating organization degenerates into evil or tyranny within the territory. We can also calmly dissolve relations with them, and we will not be bound by this paper treaty. ”
"When I first started the previous contract, I directly stated that it would not be saved. Is there any need to engage in these crooked ways? ”
"Some people read the contract and say that these are insults and even curses, so they have to do this in order to ensure our path. However, a reasonable person like you should be able to understand our painstaking efforts, so this time we will write it directly in the contract. The Virginia priest quickly explained.
'My day, isn't this just about watching the dishes on the plate?' When you meet someone who knows how to do it, you break the explanation, and when you encounter someone who doesn't know how to do it, you just bluff it and keep it behind. This is still something that belongs to the big brother-level church of the orderly, good, and righteous camp. When I return to the territory, I will definitely review all the contracts I have signed before, and do some research on the background and current situation of the partner. lest you be deceived by someone and count the money? Through the conversation just now, Georgie made up his mind to review the previous series of contracts, and at the same time was a little excluded from the direction of the topic of discussion: "As two partners, how can it be strange to talk about one of the parties to harm the past collaborators so much?" I think it's better to get down to business now, and I've spent enough time on this kind of thing. ”
"How can it be said that it is a pit? Our partners have always held us in high esteem. But if you want to get to the point, I'd welcome you. These previous conversations are just to talk to you thoroughly about putting aside other concerns, which is conducive to deepening the understanding between the two of us, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future. Between the words, the Virginia priest looked very proud. (To be continued.) )
