098 Dinner & Stories
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
While everyone was busy, Gordon was not idle, and he set up four magic alarms around the building. This spell creates a circular alarm barrier within six meters, and any creature that enters the barrier without the caster's permission will sound an alarm.
Four magical alarms are enough to cover all locations in the entire building, and together with the halfling trap, it is a dual means of physical and magical vigilance. With this kind of protection, the Lucky Coin Squad basically doesn't have to worry about being attacked when they rest at night.
The bard quickly made dinner. In a large cauldron with a steaming aroma is a brightly colored thick soup. The ingredients are actually very simple, but the most common and easy to store meats, cheeses, dry breads, pickles, etc., which adventurers and travelers carry, but when paired with the bard's unique sauce, it becomes a rare delicacy.
The dwarf with the most food unscrewed the cowhide wine sac that he regarded as a treasure, poured a sip of wine, and showed a satisfied expression: "It is because I drink a sip of McKinley pine nut wine before every meal that my appetite is so good and I grow so strong!" β
The dwarf's eating appearance is like his fighting style, wide open and stumbling, and the wind is torn down. Comparatively speaking, the eating posture of the two ladies is much more elegant. At least in Gordon's opinion, no worse than those aristocratic ladies. Of course, this may just be because of the beauty factor. If it is a fat and ugly woman eating, no matter how elegant her movements are, it will not give people a pleasing feeling.
After dinner, Serra hurriedly pulled Cynthia to wash the dishes, her furry appearance made Ronald can't help but remind: "Hey, Serra, don't worry, save water." β
The ruins of Tanzawa are not polluted, and the source of clean water for drinking is limited. In order not to waste it, every time you use fresh water, you need to be careful and calculated. This is a big challenge for two girls who love cleanliness. Fortunately, Cynthia learned the "Water Creation Technique", which allows them to have plenty of water to wash themselves every day, and even take a bath sometimes.
"Can people not be in a hurry." Serra stuck out her tongue, "If you move slowly, won't you miss out on Brother Gordon's wonderful adventures?" β
"Don't worry, I'll wait until I'm here to start." Gordon replied.
"I knew that Brother Gordon was the best for me!" Serra smiled sweetly at Gordon and quickly ran away with the utensils.
Every night, after the meal, and before going to bed, the time is a rare leisure time for the team. Generally, people sit around the fire, chatting and joking.
However, since Gordon added Lucky Coins, the content of the night talk has changed from small talk to listening to Gordon's story. Compared to the entertainment industry's earth, the adventure novels in the world of Telos are too old-fashioned and cookie-cutter. Gordon's story was rightfully well received by everyone.
Soon, Serra and Cynthia returned. Sitting in front of the fire, Sera looked at Gordon expectantly: "Brother Gordon, let's get started." β
I don't know when Serra began to call Gordon from "Mr. Mage" to "Brother Gordon". It's not a bad thing to have such a pure and delicate beautiful little girl, who spoils you with a sweet and greasy voice from time to time.
"What do you want to hear today?" Gordon asked.
"Of course, it's the adventures of the dark elf ranger Trist!" Sierra replied immediately.
The dwarf pursed his lips as he straightened his beard: "What's the point of those donkey-eared skinny monkey stories?" Or thirteen dwarven warriors and a halfling wanderer, plus a warlock's dragon-slaying adventure! β
"You bearded, half stone and half iron in your head, of course you don't understand the romance of being dark but yearning for light!" Serra was-for-tat.
Sour Pear, who has been silent, also said: "I also think the story of slaying the dragon is more exciting." β
"You like it only because the protagonist of the story is a halfling!"
"Slay the dragon, get the treasure, Serra, don't you think this theme is very suitable for our adventure this time? I think this story is better, maybe we can also get a touch of the light of the main character, Bilbo, and get lucky. Ronald, who is very concerned about the ethereal luck, said.
The bard put down the mandolin and expressed his opinion: "Although most of the dark elves believe in evil spider queens, there are still some belief in elven gods. Kind dark elves are not uncommon. I've been to Obsidian Moon, a city where the dark elves love dance and music, and are happy and nice people. The story of the dark elves abandoning evil and following good is indeed not as wide as the traditional hero slaying the dragon and hunting for treasure. β
The quiet Cynthia usually doesn't have much of an opinion when it comes to such trivial matters, so Sierra has no allies at all. In line with the principle of the majority obeying the minority, the crowd decided to let Gordon tell the story of The Hobbit tonight.
Of course, Gordon could not copy the original book, and in order to meet the needs of the audience, he made some local changes. For example, in the movie, the unparalleled mage Gandalf, Gordon set him as a level 1o warlock and level 8 warrior, and has the bloodline of the Shining Dragon. This would explain why the old mage has great melee abilities, and always uses flashing spells, not even rubbing fireballs.
"I heard Gandalf descend like a god, raise his staff, and shout: 'Eat me to strengthen the flash technique!' Suddenly, the white light burst open, and the three trolls were immediately blinded. At this time, the sun was rising, and under the light of the sun, the three blind trolls did not have time to run away, and suddenly turned to stone. Bilbo and the dwarves were finally saved......"
Saying this, Gordon stopped, took a sip of water, he took out the hourglass and saw that it was not early, so he said, "Okay, let's stop here today." β
Everyone looked unsatisfied, as if they had not yet come out of the wonderful adventures of the protagonists of the story. Serra even leaned over to Gordon's side and begged in a coquettish voice, "Brother Gordon, let's talk a little more." β
She had long forgotten how she had argued with the others to listen to the story of the dark elf Trist.
"Don't be willful, girl. Mr. Master needs to get enough sleep to keep his energy up. Cynthia said softly like a big sister.
Serra had to nod, but her expression was a little unwilling: "I can hear that nasty sound every night, people just don't want to go to bed too early." β
Rumble......
As if to confirm Serra's words, there was a sudden thunderous roar outside.
"Here we go again!" With a bitter face, Serra buried herself in Cynthia's chest.
"This girl has been afraid of thunder since she was a child." Cynthia smiled and stroked Serra's back as she explained to Gordon.
The strange voice had been coming from the aristocratic quarter from time to time since the night before. Gordon knew that the sound was not thunder from the sky, but from the earth. As the distance from the elven aristocratic district got closer, that sound became louder and more frequent.
Serra hadn't slept well for the past two days because of that voice, and her big beautiful eyes were bloodshot. Although a bad rest is not as strict as a mage for a ranger, and he will not lead a spell to fail and let the arcane energy eat back against him, but if he misses the arrow due to poor spirit during the battle, it is enough to choke.
Although the little girl is still as lively as ever, everyone is still a little worried about Serra's condition. But Gordon was more concerned about the unknown roar.
"It can't be some terrible monster hidden in the ruins of Tanzawa, right?" Gordon thought.
He asked Ronald because of that roar. However, the other party is not clear.
"In the information about the ruins of Tanzawa, there are some people who mention that there is a terrible monster in the ruins that will sneak into the camp at night and kill adventurers silently. Devour their souls. However, this legend has not been confirmed. And that kind of monster listens to the description, and is obviously good at stealth operations and infiltration. And if the sound we hear is made by some kind of creature, then that creature must be very large and conspicuous, and it must be easily visible. This is not in line with the rumors. Ronald told SΓΉ Gordon at the time.
Without any useful information, Gordon could only pay close attention. If you don't have a ready-made strategy to refer to when playing, then you have to be extra careful.
When the fire was extinguished, the crowd dispersed. The first half of the night tonight is the Bard's Vigil. Although he was a spellcaster, Gregor did not prepare spells like a mage. And Priest Cynthia only needs to pray to Evendra regularly every morning to obtain the magic of the new day. Therefore, Gordon is the only one who has the privilege of not keeping vigil.
The two-story building where the Lucky Coin Team lives is over. The hall on the first floor was a makeshift bedroom for several men, and on the second floor there were two rooms, one for the ladies and the other for Gordon, which was also the prerogative of the mage.
Although there is an independent resting space, Gordon still recruits a "Leo Omon Little Shack". There is no substitute for this spell creation zΓ o in a separate space with perfect sound insulation.
Gordon took off his coat, spread out a thick, soft blanket, lay down, and then used a light technique to illuminate the entire space.
After a tiring day's journey, it is already a luxury to have such a comfortable and private small space.
Gordon let out a long sigh of comfort, and then decided to read something before bed. He took out Captain Adonis's notes and flipped through them page by page.
The diary is boring, full of trivial things about daily voyages. But Gordon still got a lot of useful information out of it. For example, the structure of the Magic Empire's flying battleship, the distribution of cabins, the location of material storage, and the password that changes daily.
However, Gordon was in no hurry to explore the Ancindora Wings, and the goal now was to get the legacy of Alawi Ascension.
After reading the book for a while, Gordon felt tiredness hit him, he yawned, and was about to cancel the light technique to sleep, but unexpectedly a fragrant wind came in.
"Serra, Cynthia, why did you get in?"
