"If it were an ordinary country, the lords of those places might still have the leisure and elegance of a winter vacation. But this is not possible in the Kingdom of Etasia. Barrett twitched his nose rather disdainfully, "Whatever the reason, what the royal family did to the Kristol family before has already made the local lords wary. Do you think it's still possible for them to leave their base just for enjoyment? ”

|twitched: "The private soldiers of the nobles of the court? Why do I always feel awkward when I talk like this? ”

As a well-known situation in Western University 6, the court nobles did not have fiefdoms, and could only rely on operating industries and even acting as staff members for others to obtain profits. This makes their income very different from that of the local lords. What's more, they don't have the pressure of the lords' defenses, and they don't need to spend a lot of effort to build up private soldiers that burn money every day.

"So they can't be the private soldiers of the nobles of the court. It should be the royal family secretly under that banner and the armed forces deployed in Port Volta. But since he has such a name, he naturally has to work, and those court nobles are eighty percent of the royal family's irons. So in last night's battle, it wasn't so easy for them to run, even if they wanted to. Barrett was a bit of a schadenfreude when he said this.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Since the actions of the Etasia royal family have violated the original agreement, it is natural that others will not be upset. What's more important is Barrett's current character identity. This makes it necessary for him to look at things from the perspective of a local nobleman - the Boreham family is a powerful local nobleman. This is the so-called class stance that determines the course of doing things.

"So why "Baron Grey Wolf" Broadley hurried to the garden area last night. It's not so much to rescue the nobles of the court. It is better to rescue the armed forces arranged by the royal family in Port Volta. ”。

Barrett shook his head: "It shouldn't be exactly like that. For the royal family, it is still very important to be loyal to their court nobles. They are more than just tentacles to control public opinion. At the same time, it is also a petri dish for transporting talents. If you look at the overall situation, the royal family naturally has to worry about their safety. ”

Talent is to be cultivated, and although there are cases of self-taught talents, after all, it is only a special case. And in this society where knowledge is monopolized by the upper class, it is even more difficult for the common people to have suitable intellectuals.

Although the court nobles are relatively depressed compared to the local lords, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it often has some background. Some of them, in order to be able to earn a better life in the future, choose to let their children go to the cultural and official exhibitions where they spend less.

Plus between the local nobility and the court nobility. Often because of the entanglement of interests and other entanglements, the relationship is more tense. For the royal family, it can be said that it is the best source of affairs. If it is served in one pot, the loss will be great.

"Those guys in the Garden District deserve to die, and if they hadn't gotten it, we probably wouldn't have had to spend a chance to be resurrected last night." "Baron Grey Wolf" Broadley is concerned about the transfer of the city guards.

Just as the players were gloating over the loss of the Eitasia royal family, the voice of the dragonman priest from last night suddenly came from behind: "How are you preparing for the reward you need to summon the dragonborn?" ”

"Don't worry! We're ready. With that, Barrett turned and pulled a deerskin bag from his chest. He stepped forward and handed it over to the dragonman priest's claws.

The draconian priest opened the bag with his paws, looked at the glittering gems, and then scratched his chin and nosed as if to appraise the price. For intelligent beings with dragon blood. It's like you're born with it.

The dragonman priest who determined the price of the gem scratched his head and said, "Hopefully we'll have a little luck today and be able to find a less insatiable responder." ”

"We've done our best. Do you think there is a way to find the right gemstone in this situation? Even with the help of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, what you can get in your hands is already the limit. Barrett reluctantly pointed to the blackened crowd outside the temple.

The impact of last night's attack was extremely far-reaching, and after the overwhelming monsters caused the entire dock area to fall, the fish people seemed to take advantage of the window time caused by the monsters to empty half of the dockland in one go.

As a result, in the port of Walter, the precious jewels were not easy to buy as if they were real money. , you can go through the church channel. Even the few gems that Barrett just gave away are also difficult things for players who are not familiar with life.

Although it is said that the sacrifice of the dragon only needs to be a shiny and high-priced trading object, whether it is gold, silver or jewelry. But what players need now is a gem dragon that excels at psychic abilities! Their favorite favorites are gems, jewelry, and magical items. In order to be able to get a response from these big guys, it can be said that all of you who are blood-stained and gray flowers are all out of the way.

"In this case, it is indeed a bit difficult for you to collect jewelry. If the nobles in the Garden District weren't so face-loving, maybe you would have been able to reap the ......" After chattering for a while, the draconian priest turned around and said, "Follow suit!" I don't think you guys will be happy if you don't see that process with your own eyes. ”

After the group returned to the stone chamber where they had rested last night, the dragon man untied a bag directly from his belt. The silvery-white powder that flows from the inside of the bag reflects a metallic sheen in the sunlight. The dragonman priest cupped his arm, letting the flowing silver powder gather into a perfect circle on the floor.

"Mr. Pastor! You wield the exclusive magic of His Highness the Platinum Dragon in the Temple of the Lord of Justice. Does this really matter what it does? Barrett asked, with some concern.

The temple is the domain of the gods. It is the foothold of his authority in the plane of the Lord. In his own temple. The power of the gods will be greatly enhanced. And for foreign natural abilities, a special kind of suppression will be formed. Among them, the suppression and rejection of the magic of other gods will be more strict.

I saw that the dragon priest kept saying, "It will not affect it, my lord and the lord of justice have a very good relationship." If the spells you want to use now are within the rules allowed by the temple, you can rest assured. ”

When he had finished sketching the circle, he placed his star in the circle along with the Nebula Emblem and the gems Barrett had given him. Then he retreated beyond the metal powder ring and began his own chanting.

Dragons' vocal cords are very different from humans. Even when using the lingua franca, the dragonman's voice is relatively high-pitched. And the air resonance caused by the dragon man priest's direct chanting in dragon language at the moment is a test of the eardrums of Barrett and the others.

There was a slight discomfort in the ear drums. The silver powder in the temporary circle in front of him was the first to shine. Then the silver powder seemed to melt, dissolving into a cloud of mercury in the light, pulsating and rippling to turn the otherwise loose ring into a single whole.

Suddenly, the star and the Nebula Emblem glowed with a different kind of brilliance, and when the milky white fluorescence connected with the mercury ring on the outside, a dazzling pillar of light rushed upward.

When the dazzling light dissipated, the players cast a figure on the star and the Nebula Emblem. The scale armor on the huge skull refracted a cold light in front of everyone, and a hazy mist seemed to be shrouded under the translucent body.

After seeing the caller responded, both the Dragonman Priest and Barrett breathed a sigh of relief. Because what appeared in front of me were the creatures that I wanted to see the most-crystal dragons.

This dragon is arguably the friendliest of all gem dragons. At the same time, they are always curious about the world, so they are very eager to communicate with visitors.

Although if anyone dares to attack the crystal dragon, the crystal dragon will not hesitate to retaliate. But the crystal dragon will hardly take the initiative to provoke a fight. Even if the intelligent creatures that visit them are not friendly, they tend to avoid them.

From that point of view alone. Despite being a neutral gem dragon, the Crystal Dragon is much easier to deal with than some of the metal dragons that claim to be kind. And the important thing is that the group of crystal dragons is born to be good at the branch of psychic enchantment (mind transmitters) in the psychic energy. It should be the most suitable for solving the psychological problems encountered by noodles.

"Hey! Young men and girls, I am quite satisfied with your tribute. If you have any requests, just say it! Let me see if I can fix it. The voice that came out of the open crystal dragon's mouth felt like a spring breezeβ€”even if it meant so much.

Priest Ryuren first bent down, then pointed to the noodles still lying on the bed and said, "Dear lady, the believers of my lord have closed their hearts because of some bad encounters. I hope you will be able to awaken his inner world from his slumber. ”

"Shut your heart, don't you?" The Crystal Dragon Lady blinked her eyes, "This is not an easy thing to do!" Know that intelligent beings have a variety of reasons for closing their hearts, and even the same experience can be diametrically opposed and different. So I can't guarantee that my actions will be able to wake him up. ”

"Anyway, please think of a way. He is an important companion for us. ”

"An important companion?" The crystal dragon projection in front of him tilted his neck, "I can give it a try, but there is no guarantee of the result." Also, as long as I make a move, no matter what the result is. These cute little things are my possessions. None of you want to go back! ”

"Beautiful lady, as long as you are willing to do it. The rest of the qiΔ“ is at our own risk. Barrett bowed and immediately made a gesture of please, so that the dragon in front of him could claw.

After all, the situation in front of me can be said to be man-made and I am fish. If you want the noodles to return to normal, you have to rely on the power of the dragon in front of you.

Even the dragon admits that his strength is unreliable. But is there a better alternative for players right now? Even if it's still another Dragonborn Call ceremony. I may not be able to meet such an honest lady.

Maybe it's a guy who harbors evil intentions! After all, this ability to manipulate the mind is extremely hidden. If the other party wants to do something, the players can't see it at all. In case you put a mental demon seed on the noodles. Eighty percent of the halfling was going to cry and faint in the toilet.

"You said it yourself!" The crystal dragon projection in the pillar of light blinked his eyes and emphasized this sentence, then turned his head to the noodles: "Then I'll start now." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the pupils in Lady Crystal Dragon's eyes seemed to disappear, but instead a shallow layer of mist was in their place. Beneath the mist, Barrett seemed to perceive a faint light.

"Don't! Don't come, don't! The shouts rang out in the stone chamber. The noodles that were lying on the wall of the boat were screaming as if they had seen a ghost. At the same time, the lying position, which had not changed since last night, was suddenly replaced by the image of constantly rolling on the bed.

"What's wrong with him?".

Barrett, who was frowning, tilted his head and looked at it for a while, and then said with great certainty: "It seems that Miss Crystal Dragon's actions have made Noodle recall memories that he doesn't want to face." ”

"Does this approach really work? Will it be too irritating, but it will aggravate the condition of noodles. ”。

It doesn't matter what you think in your heart. Barrett still comforted in his mouth: "How can we laymen know in that situation, no matter what, we still believe in the expert's business level!" ”

For players who can't plug in this kind of scene, they can only watch the noodles continue to make noise on the stone bed like a splash and roll. For fear of affecting the outcome of the treatment, they didn't even dare to go up and hold down the hands and feet of the halfling.

After a long time, the noodles seemed to be tired of tossing, their voice became lower and lower, and their movements stopped. Then his eyelids became heavier and heavier. No matter how hard he tried, the upper and lower eyelids fit together tightly as if they were magnets.

After a while, the sound of noodles came from the house. Judging by the expression on the halfling's face, this guy just looked like a sheep was crazy. Now I'm sleeping soundly.

Barrett, who saw this qiΔ“, immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the problem has been solved." At least Noodle doesn't sleep with the same stiff face as he used to......"

But before she could finish speaking, the crystal dragon lady opened her mouth and scolded, "Rubbish! Rubbish! This halfling you're trying to save is a complete waste. I can't even withstand that kind of Cheng DΓΉ's mental shock, I really doubt how he got his current strength. You've chosen to spend these cuties to save him, but you're a waste of resources. ”

In the face of the roaring dragon, even the dragon priest who had called her before couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back. However, Barrett stepped forward to reassure him before: "Beautiful lady, please don't be angry, too excited emotions will affect your charm." He's a companion anyway, and what we want to know now is, will he be able to recover after your treatment? ”

Because Barrett knew that with the character of the crystal dragon, the other party would at most scold like this. I would never do anything to myself because of such a thing.

"Don't worry! Although I wasn't sure before I did it, after feeling the guy's heart, it was so simple to realize that he was hurt. Speaking of this, the crystal dragon scraped his teeth with his tongue, "I didn't take your sacrifice for nothing. ”

After saying this, the projection of the crystal dragon immediately became a little blurry like the water surface disturbed by stones. It seems that the dragon that has completed its mission seems to want to end the communication.

Barrett, who was in this situation, hurriedly shouted, "Then he will be able to wake up." ”

"Two days or three days! Although the treatment was successfully completed, it was also strict zhΓ²ng that consumed the guy's spirit. Remember to make sure that there were no problems with his body in the past few days......" It seemed that before he could finish speaking, the crystal dragon projection in front of him disappeared along with her voice. At the same time, the silver rings and gems on the ground disappeared. Only the star and the Nebula Emblem were left alone on the ground.

"2-3 days! I don't know if I'll be able to catch up with the next action. Barrett sighed as he looked at the sleeping noodles.

There is a way to be afraid of what comes. Players have only been solving the problem in front of them for less than an hour. The Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" sent someone to invite a few players to meet him.

Although the meeting place is still the same as before. However, the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount in front of the players seemed to be a different person compared to last night. Now as long as he stands there, the eyes of everyone around him can't help but be attracted to him.

"Guys, after a night's rest, are you ready for action?" Today's "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount gives people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant between the words.

"It's basically ready. It's just that one of his teammates was too badly injured in the attack at work, and it took two or three days to get up and move. Barrett emphasized, "But even if there is one less person, I don't think it will affect your commission." ”

"Is that so?" Viscount "Golden Thorn" touched his chin and looked Barrett up and down with his own eyes.

Barrett said with great certainty: "Yes. Like last night's battle in the administrative district, we were also fought without his involvement. ”

"In that case, let's talk about your mission for today." Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" then led the players to a desk in the room. On that table was a map of the slums of Port Walter.

"Here, here, and here, the main stronghold of those damn ground rats in the city." Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" said, pointing to several properties on the map.

Looking at the location pointed out by Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird", Barrett suddenly realized that they were scattered throughout the slums. This made Barrett couldn't help but frown: "Lord Viscount! With their deployment so scattered, it's not easy for us to catch them all! I'm afraid that if we get into one of the Thieves' Guild strongholds, the thieves in the remaining ones will get word and break out first. ”

"Don't worry! I'll have the vigilante boys outside those strongholds in a minute. At the same time, they will also apply to the Church of the Lord of Justice for Paladins for reinforcements. The Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" touched his beard with confidence, "Who let those fools of the royal family rely on the thieves' guild so much!" A thief is always a thief! No matter what kind of background they have, they are always a group of shady guys. ”

On the West University 6, although in some territories, the powerful thieves' guilds even have the strength to rival the government. But even so. Ordinary people still don't introduce themselves to civilians and say, "I'm a thief." The Thieves' Guild has been a shady industry since ancient times, like dog meat that can't be seen in the table - no matter who is behind it, they can't be completely publicized.

The Church of the Just Lord, however, was reluctant to intervene in the dispute between the Viscount of the Golden Thorn and the royal family of Etasias. But in front of me, this kind of invitation to deal with the evil forces in the city. But they couldn't help but come - because this requirement was in keeping with the basic doctrine of the Church of the Just Lord. At the same time, it is something that the holy warriors in the church have been waiting for for a long time - even if they know that they are being used, they will happily jump into the pit.

"The only thing to watch out for now is whether those guys in the Garden District will stop you after knowing your actions, Lord Viscount." Barrett said what worries him most right now.

Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" said with great certainty: "Don't worry! I would have sent someone to keep an eye on them! With the remaining strength of those guys, there is no way to stop our actions. ”

"After last night's events, sane people know that those guys in the Garden District must have suffered heavy casualties. However, although those guys don't have the ability to stop directly, it's still easy to want bad things! Barrett replied with a little concern, "I think it's better for you to make some preparations in advance, Lord Viscount."
