Chapter 32: Lisa
It was quite late when I came out of the city lord's mansion, but I really didn't want to go back to the detention center.
Jail? Yes, the Lich Roland is still in detention in the detention center for causing that riot, and he just sneaked out.
Although planning a large-scale naked run does not violate any law, and it is really not a crime, it is definitely necessary to take three to five days of introspection and let him reflect on himself and not commit it again in captivity.
I have now summoned a skeleton, put the usual decorations and clothes on him, and left some magic power, pretending to be a lich who is pretending to be sleeping, but my own body has slipped out, and if it is a normal day, in order not to be discovered, I must sneak back quickly.
After all, the Dark Elves are sensitive to magic and will be careless when patrolling, but now, they don't have time to care about the obedient lich in the corner.
Cause? That's because they're busy, super busy, so I have to start with my own sin, the engineering ban month.
Judging from the atmosphere of purifying the city of Brimstone, this ban was perfect, after those damn dwarfs and goblins were dropped into the detention center, the crime rate and alarm rate of the entire city of Brimstone Mountain City dropped by more than 3% in an instant, and there was no explosion in one night.
But when the knights of the city management had a good night's sleep, they found that this was the beginning of the nightmare.
What is more unmanageable than one trouble is that several troubles accumulate together, to the unity of many engineering masters in the detention center, when the banner of the first Sulfur Mountain City Engineering Exchange Conference was played, even I, who is well-informed, was stunned with my friends.
Goblin engineering masters exchange experiences of exploding and being exploded with each other, dwarfs exchange all kinds of new ideas and methods, and even, when their bodies are searched clean, in extreme boredom, dwarfs and goblins even discuss the products of the fusion of the two types of engineering in a quarrel
Originally, I was still quite interested in fanning the flames, "We can build a goblin lumberjack the size of a mountain, and a chainsaw can cut down the war trees of the High Elves?" No way? Will you be overweight? Kid, why are you so unimaginative, you forgot that there is more than one master here, as long as you use the dwarf's electronic conduit and decompression spring, not only will you not be overweight, you shouldn't explode too fast"
"We can make a giant mechanical fire-breathing dragon and paint the horns on its head red so that it's three times faster."
"We can build a spinning drill-bit airship and use it to make holes and go to the ground."
But soon, I realized that the situation was not right, and this group of guys was so active that when I mentioned the convergence of technology and new research topics, I had so much fun chatting that I actually started to do it.
"No fire? The heel of my shoe is a lighter, and when the flint hits the ground, there is a spark. β
"No parts? Hehe, my brother Silver Hook is still a part-time flame archmage, what is it to melt a few iron rods to make parts. β
"No gunpowder? Hehe, I'm a master of georefining gold and goblin engineering, come, pick up that piece of soap for me No, I'm not a, I just want soap and animal fat from your afternoon lunch as raw materials, watch me refine nitrate by hand. Change. Glycerol!! This is a unique skill I learned from the sealers in the North of Ruosi, and since I have mastered this secret recipe, my mother does not have to worry about my nitrate. Change. The glycerin thruster ran out of fuel. β
"No fuse, no catalyst and no clockwork? When I strip and feed, I'm really not a, you see, this dress has been soaked in liquid black and silver, and you can detonate it by tearing a piece of cloth (the goblin next to him looks at him with reverence, which means 'you are simply a model of the goblin research spirit, you dare to wear such a thing'). This set of buttons put together is the most basic tool set, wrench, screwdriver, vice are available, want? Not for sale, it's a birthday present from that clever lich, a precious symbol of our friendship!! It costs at least 30,000 gold to sell! β
proudly touched his hairless chin, full of miserable green gold teeth. Bea grinned at me and gave me a thumbs up.
Looking at the Beya brothers, who vaguely became the leaders of the crowd because of their excellent skills, watching them dismantle the hardcore and melt the parts, and take the soap to refine the explosives, my intestines were blue with chagrin, well, if I had intestines.
"I swear that when I get out, I'll find a reason to throw them in jail. Crime? If nothing else, let them go on again, and there will be one later. β
Well, the detention center built so that the citizens' tax money would not be bombed into the sky, and more importantly, I didn't want to fly into the sky, so I didn't hesitate to call for support
"Eliza, go to the chengguan headquarters and report that the goblins in the detention center are making a big bomb that can blow up the entire city!"
Well, the rest is very simple, the chengguan arrived, together with the guards of the detention center, and fiercely suppressed this group of lawless engineering masters
But this is only the beginning, and once the flame of truth is ignited, it can never be extinguished - the goblin engineer Master Golden Fang. Beya.
Their communication and cooperation are only transferred from the ground to the underground, and all kinds of engineering drawings are flying like underground information, and one look can convey information
Moreover, the idea of the engineering conference was spread to the outside world by someone's communication tools, and after that, engineering masters from the outside world continued to take the initiative to seek opportunities to join this "grand event", which brought a shortage of parts as a membership fee.
As a result, as soon as the guards turned around, they began to work in a clanging manner, and the guards whistled at the sky and pretended to be innocent.
In desperation, I could only put all the chengguan in place, staring at one by one, and guarding it strictly, naturally, the other prisoners were relaxed, and I also took this opportunity to sneak out to see Anne
Ahem, this is the end of the recollection, today's detention center is like a crater, and it may turn the sky upside down at any time, well, literally, it is more appropriate to use the word "bombing".
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and besides, I have never considered myself a gentleman who abides by morality, let alone take the initiative to enjoy the explosion.
"So, before they get out of the explosion, where are you going to pass the time, well, let's go see Xiaohong."
To my surprise, I contacted GuΓ² and learned from her subordinates that she was not at home.
"Hehe, she has suffered the biggest loss in her life this time, and she must be angry. Now, if it's not someone to fight, there's only one left! β
Sure enough, when I arrived at the largest tavern in the Central District, Flaming Red Rose, I had just approached the small private room we frequented, and the familiar voice came from inside.
"Roland, come and drink with me!"
"Why, a man has turned into human form to drink alcohol? Alcohol is not good for wounds. β
Yes, and humanity's no. A good girl is almost the same, Xiaohong, who is also in the rebellious period, her biggest hobby is also drinking and fighting, and now there is no suitable opponent to fight, so naturally she can only find a place to drink.
"Hmph, that's what you fragile humans need to taboo, for me, drink some wine, just to relieve the pain, and sleep comfortably."
When the curtain was opened, the person in front of him who was holding a wooden barrel and pouring wine directly was still a dwarf's high-count spirit, but it was a beautiful woman with black hair and embroidered eyebrows.
The long black hair is as smooth as silk, the crescent-like embroidered eyebrows add some feminine grace, the figure is extremely tall, the tight leather coat shows the perfect figure without doubt, the slender arms are as white as snow, the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and the green fingertips are with a trace of blood.
Now he wears an eye patch on his left eye, holds a lot of gauze on his body, and has the smell of medicinal wine on his body, which makes him feel more weak.
But as soon as she opens her eyes, no one will regard her as a weak woman, and the wildness in the beast's pupils, no, it should be said that the gaze of the predator at the top of the food chain will make the weak feel that their lives are in danger, and they tremble with fear.
What, disappointed? Thought that the red dragon girl would be a cute little Lori in red when she turned into a human form? Too naΓ―ve, dragon transformation likes to be a little girl? Typical chivalric novels are habitually biased to read too much.
Why? A little girl who suddenly fell from the wilderness, obviously the ground was full of mud and dust, but she was gorgeously dressed and spotless? Even a fool knows there's a problem.
Ahem, back then, this dragon girl did read a lot of knight novels, and planned to sneak into our adventure group like this and have an epic adventure, but unfortunately, we saw through it at the beginning.
It's just that we, who are happy to have one more powerful thug and mascot, how can we say it, but try to pretend to be stupid, raise our arms and warmly welcome the "new legendary young. Female Berserker and Fire Mage".
In the end, due to an accident to reveal her true face, but in the face of us who had known it for a long time with an indifferent face, she did ask what went wrong with her disguise, but that answer became her lifelong shame and super black history.
"Strength takes time to accumulate, it seems that the legend of about ten years old, after ruling out several possibilities, other powerful race changes are the most likely answer, and the most likely to do this kind of thing should be the dragon race." This is Margaret explained by Leng Mian, back then, she was still an ordinary human mage with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she was still very concerned about Xiaohong's face.
"Equip and weapon, you can buy a small city by throwing out your silk skirt after hunting demon spiders." Considering the gentle character and gentlemanly demeanor that the paladin should show, and the fact that she should be careful about her face in this case, I racked my brains and tried to find a less obvious flaw, and said with a smile.
"Stupid little red, when we first met, you killed our rations for a week at one time, and we need to hunt to replenish food, do you think humans can eat so much? Hmph, it made me lose weight in one night. "Alright, Lisa the thief. Grant haunted the hunger of the day.
"Haha, you idiots, you didn't know until so late. I knew it at first sight. Wasn't Xiaohong reading a book at the time, isn't that popular knight novel "The Dragon Princess from the Stars" about the story of a dragon turning into a little girl and traveling through the world, and falling in love with humans? Such an obvious flaw was not seen. Haha, I always say that people are stupid, I think you are stupid!! β
This is well, it is indeed the stupid Adam, and it took us a long time to find the foolish brave man who was punched and flew several kilometers by Xiaohong, who was annoyed and angry, and fortunately he is an excellent meat shield, so he can survive in front of Xiaohong, who accidentally moved his real personality.
Well, at this point, the cute little Lori Dragon Princess is gone, and in its place, it's this mature version of Sister Dragon, but, in fact, this is also very suitable for her character, so although the dragon can adjust the race and age after her transformation (the transformation can choose to transform into an elf and a human, but the appearance will not change), she has always used this appearance.
As for the red clothes, that's true, ordinary dragons often like to wear clothes with similar skin tones after transformation, Xiaohong does like red very much, but the problem is
Adam's guy is also red, and he keeps causing trouble everywhere, if he wears the same clothes as him, won't he be treated as a companion? No one would want to be treated as a fool of the same kind, Xiaohong said so back then, and it was definitely not my deliberate slander.
"What are you doing in Gurum, come and help me barbecue, I remember that you were the best at barbecue in our group back then, let me see if your skills have regressed."
"You remember."
Yes, I know that I am the Paladin Captain Rollo of that year, on the bright side, the little red in front of me, the ancient red dragon Ainmetheus.
The golden race's dragon looked at people in a completely different way and from the perspective of mortals, and in front of those soul-seeing dragon pupils, it was impossible to hide from her from the beginning.
It's just that our relationship is better said to be a companion, it is better to say that it is an accomplice, and there are some things, and it is far better to pretend to be stupid than to embarrass everyone by saying it.
Now, while I was roasting the meat, I had just sprinkled it with secret spices (mainly cumin and paprika, which was also a smoke-based spell casting ingredient), and before I could brush the oil, she snatched it in one bite, and ate it with great pleasure.
"This time, I have wronged you, and I will help you get back on the field."
Xiaohong was indeed wronged this time, if it weren't for some reason, she wouldn't have lost the fight this time, and she wouldn't even be injured.
Think it's a stubborn mouth and refuse to admit defeat? Where is the most troublesome place for the dragons? Tough hand-to-hand combat and excellent magic? No, the most difficult thing for them to deal with is that they have wings! Can fly!
Dragons are born to be the best in the sky, their flying skills are extremely good, young dragons can use magic to help float in the air, adult dragons can fly at will, for an ancient dragon like Xiaohong, flying and breathing are generally easy and natural, she can even fly freely in the sky without wings in violation of physical rules.
The dragons' habitual method of dealing with the enemy is to suddenly fall from the clouds, spray dragon breath and magic blows before they can react, and then pull up and fly out before the counterattack comes.
Although this tactic sounds shameless, it is extremely difficult to deal with, if you want to slay the dragon, please think about letting the dragon fall first, therefore, even a super empire will not offend the dragon clan at will, after all, no one wants their capital to have a fire every two days, but how can they find the murderer.
The high mobility of the dragon clan is the most difficult thing for them to deal with, ninety percent of the dragon slaying is because the dragon is blocked in their lair or falls into the trap, the dragon clan in the wild just can't beat it, and it can definitely escape, and it will look for you for revenge when you turn around, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
This time, Xiaohong was injured so badly, just because there were Adam and Margaret behind her, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only be a meat target alive.
was beaten by someone as a fixed target, such a serious injury, which naturally made the arrogant Xiaohong full of grievances and unhappiness.
Hearing me say that I want to find a place for her, Xiaohong first eats, then picks up the wooden barrel on the side and gulps wine.
"Ahem!!"
But after drinking too quickly, this stupid dragon accidentally choked herself, and I hurriedly helped her pat her back to relieve her breath.
"No, I'll find it myself, Moriel I'll find her personally, don't interfere."
I shook my head, knowing that she would not admit defeat, and it was indeed the answer, but Xiaohong's individual strength was indeed faintly above the Dragon Queen Moriel, otherwise, that old guy would have come to the door to clean the door.
"Let's go back to the field together, my loss this time is not small."
As expected, when I talked about my travel and troublemaking plans, I was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and I just wanted to find a place to vent, Xiaohong really happily agreed.
Just after speaking, he looked at me with a playful face.
"How is Lisa doing?"
"What are you talking about? Oh, Eliza? It's still the same poisonous tongue as always, it's not good to learn from anyone, but it's getting more and more difficult to deal with Margaret, and I was arrested and put in the detention center two days ago. It was a wrong choice to pick her up back then. β
"Don't play dumb, you know that my dragon pupil looks directly at the soul. Eliza is Lisa, the last member of our adventure party, the big thief who wanted to become a multimillionaire, Adam's foolish Lisa, who had a crush on half his life. Grant. Oh, Eliza, it's Liza (Liza) with an emphasis on the prefix E in front of it, such a simple alphabet game, I guess Adam's fool can't see through it. β
"When did you see through it?"
"From the moment you brought back that half-demon baby, that is, in the beginning. Hmph, you're not much better than me, and the disguise isn't flawed. However, you are really amazing, I remember that Lisa is obviously dead, even the soul is attributed to the root, etc., half-demon, you won't go to the River of the Dead to get her back, right? β
"Yes, Lisa, as a human being, is dead, and now Eliza is a new life and soul. It can be said that Eliza is Lisa and not Lisa. β
Looking at Xiaohong, who was full of interest, I looked bitter, it seems that there were some things back then, and it was time to explain the rights and wrongs.
