Chapter 205: Escape (4)
"Where did you hide before?" the thief grabbed Asmodeos by the back of his furry neck, and shook Reverend Flo's little pet less politely and rudely - but it was a black, winged hamster that was not so docile, and it almost bit Glenn's finger when it turned its head, twisting it even more than half a week, and if it weren't for the fact that the thief's finger was much more sensitive and responsive than the average person, his finger might have become Asmodeos's snack.
"I," Asmodeus flapped his wings and landed on Reverend Flo's shoulder, "where else can I be, my master is there and I am there." ”
"Really?" said Gülen, "it's always been with you?"
Mammy hesitated, because Asmodeos had disappeared when the bipedal pygmy dragon appeared, and she thought that it had been so frightened that it had hid in some cave or crevice and was anxious about it, she didn't value Asmodeos, at most she thought about sending it to steal small belongings, keys, or something else, but her devil's finger (yes, Memy thought it was hers) was still in the small dimensional pouch that Asmodeos hung around his neck. She's probably the only one in the team who doesn't have this portable magic paraphernalia - Glenn's Dimension Bag was stolen from the Half-Dragon, and the Mage gave it to him because he had his own Dimension Bag, and it's standard for elves, and Berdwin's Dimension Bag is a pair of Leona's. Sometimes she couldn't help but feel that it was unfair, but she also knew that she didn't have the qualifications and authority to ask for such an expensive and scarce item, which meant that anything she was carrying would have to be exposed to the eyes of the elves and others, which made her deeply embarrassed.
While tasting the delicious eel soup, Meimi also thought that if she could, she would have to talk to Berdwin to see if he could help her get her little pet back, of course, it was impossible for Baldwin to run into the mire with a broadsword to help her find one as black as the middle of the night. It's only a fist-sized creature, but the black-haired spellcaster won't refuse him if Birdwin asks - she can see very well that Cremar is a member of Kerryben's clan, and in a sense, the former is also the latter's protector, and he has an obligation to Kerryben, who was a close friend of Birdwin.
But what she didn't expect was that when she got back to the tent, she was warned, and then there was - she had managed to kill a mage! Cremar's impression on Memi was one that was imprinted on her heart, she had vowed never to deal with spellcasters again, whether in the blunt tavern of Sharp Jaws or in the temple of Flo, no, she had had enough of the monsters who rubbed their fingers and recited a spell to send lightning and fire from their fingertips - so why would she do something that didn't do her any good and was so dangerous?
In order to compete with Leona.
Mame said to herself that she thought she had given up on Baldwin completely, but she was wrong. Her renunciation was only on the surface, not on the inside, and she ...... I still really want to be a woman like Leona, excellent. Noble, courageous, a woman who can make Birdwin gaze with respect and tenderness.
It was stupid, but it wasn't a bad feeling—though it wasn't Memi but Leona who had cut off the mage's head. But Flo's priest still tasted something she had never tasted before—the wonderful feeling of holding the fate of the strong firmly in her own hands.
The little devil Asmodeos' claws pierced into Memi's skin, and Flo's priest frowned, took it off and tucked it into his robes. "It's with me. "It's small, so you don't see it—if you have to say whether it's gone, I think it's only when I'm dealing with the mage," she smiled at the thief, "and I didn't wear anything. ”
Baldwin glanced at Leona, who shook her head, she didn't see it, couldn't be sure when the little black creature had left and when it had returned.
"I think it's going to need a cage. The thief said. The thief's suspicion is second only to the lich among adventurers, and he has never encountered a pie that falls from the sky in his life, and if it does, it will only be filled with sweet venom - if not, it will probably be a trap or a noose.
"We can't get a cage right now. She said as she walked to the side of the boat and looked down at the roaring Starlight River, where the scorching sun shone on the tumbling surface of the river, which seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of molten gold, or shards of crystal, which was both beautiful and intimidating. It is about the middle and lower reaches of the Starlight River, and it is completely different from the part of Gray Ridge in that its riverbed is as irregular as the building blocks built by young children at will, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, sometimes as high as tens of feet or even hundreds of feet, the turbulent water is different in light and dark, and the towering reefs are always visible. Compared to it, the back of the piebald eel is as smooth and safe as a human baby's bed, but on the elven ship, if you don't look at the current, you will even mistakenly think that you are still standing on solid land, no, perhaps more comfortable and pleasant than that, like riding on the back of a bird or flying in the air with a cloud.
The latter may be true, as the Elven Wing Ship can sail on the Starlight River because the enchanted Wing can summon the wind elemental to lift the ship high when it needs to be lifted or plunged, and more often than not, the ship glides lightly on the surface of the water with the force of the wind, rather than the constant thrust of the current like a normal ship.
"Get a cage for it when we get to the Dragonfire Islands," Glenn said, approaching Meme, "what do you think of a Mithril cage? He showed him his arm, as the thieves were accustomed to wearing leather bracers with iron plates adorned with two small holes in the nails-thick iron sheets.
"It bites?"
"Not really," said the thief, stabbing Plum in the fifth rib with his adamantite dagger, where a bag bulged out, where Asmodeos was hiding.
"Hey!" Memi grabbed his hand unhappily, "I don't want to be bitten by it." ”
"You are its owner. ”
"No matter how loyal a dog is, it will bark when its tail is trampled, not to mention that I haven't been with it for long. ”
"I'm sorry," Glenn said, tucking the adamantite dagger back into his waist, "and what do you think?"
"How's that?"
"Mithril cage?"
"If you're willing to get me a ......"
"A gift?"
"If only I could find a room in the Temple of Flor in the Dragonfire Islands. Mei Mi said, "Of course you can come to me." ”
"It's a deal. The thief said, and walked away.
"I don't like cages. Asmodeus emerged from Plum Mie's robes, revealing only his head: "Little devil loves freedom!"
"Don't be stupid," said Memi, "it's not for you, it's for me." ”
&&&
"What are they talking about?"
"I'm talking about Mei Mi's little pet. The lich casually said that this elven ship was not even as big as the reed ship that the mercenaries had made in the snowy swamps, and that it was light and convenient, but the only person who could master the rudder was the elf Kerryben, and that Berdwin was born and raised in the Highlands and Normans, and that there were few large rivers and lakes in the northern part of the Highlands. Thundercastle is not a White Tower, it has an inland river with ships coming and going, so as a lord, it is not an unforgivable fault that he knows nothing about sailing, Leona is the same, Memmy ignores, and as for Glenn, although he spent the first twenty-five years of his life in Jianjaw Harbor, he is better at grabbing gold and gems from the flow of people than looking for pearl coral in the water, so although he can swim in the water, he has a few pirate friends who can be said to be quite familiar. But his knowledge of the ship was limited to the exterior and some of its internal structures (the result of a surreptitious attempt to find their target better) - and they still had days and nights to go, and they might not be able to find barely usable berths afterwards - even if the elves needed half as much sleep as humans, he still needed rest. That's when someone else needs to take his place.
Cremar is the first choice, as a spellcaster, it only takes him a short time to learn how to use the rudder, and he has powers beyond humans and elves. Elven ships use lighter rudders than humans, but if Glenn or Memi were to come, they might be knocked out by the rudder during a sharp turn, and Leona was cautiously excluded. So now the only ones standing at the helm to learn how to steer the ship are Cremar and Berdwin.
Baldwin shook his head, he really didn't understand why Mammie had left the little monster around, to be honest, he hadn't found the little thing of any use, it had run away without a trace when they were confronting the enemy—not that the size could play any crucial role, it was clear that the little monster's loyalty was not on the first few pages of the dictionary. But he must admit that he feels guilty about Memi, as Mame said, when it comes to making a choice, he will choose Leona over her, and although he promised her to be her protector, Leona is not only his protector, but his master, but also the heir to the throne of the Highland Norman - after proving his innocence, Leona will return to the capital of the Highland Norman, put on the crown again, put on the fine clothes, and reclaim the glory and power she deserves - The former lord of Thundercastle did not feel at all narrow-minded, selfish and cowardly that the new king would be a good ruler, he loved his country, and he did not want it to be driven into the abyss of extinction at the hands of blind pilots.
Who could be more fit to take up that heavy scepter than Leona?!There was no one but Leona, the princess of the Norman Highlands, the only child of the old king.
So when Memmy insisted on keeping the little goblin, he gave silent support - their time together was running out. As soon as he arrived in the Dragonfire Islands, he could let go of his responsibilities - Memy was Flo's priest, and according to Kerry Ben and Gülen, the Dragonfire Islands were full of Flo's temples, and the lords of the islands were accustomed and enjoyed by people who were accustomed to enjoying them, and Fro's offerings were the richest and most perfect on the whole continent - and Flo's priests were very popular there.
Asmodeus cautiously peeked his eyes out of the gaps in Plum Mie's robes, peering at the humans and elves, especially the dimensional pouch hanging from the waist of the black-haired spellcaster, who swung its tail slowly and thoughtfully until a tickling Plum Mi patted it gently.
&&&
The rest of the road has been peaceful, and the previous chase and attack has been like a nightmare that has been too long, but in the end, there is a dangerous problem to solve, and that is the Silver Falls.
As we have mentioned before, the estuary of the Starlight River is not like other rivers, with a gently sloping beach as a buffer, and a large outlet for the river to quietly and gently merge into the emerald blue ocean - its outlet is the Silver Falls, the highest and widest of the entire continent, up to 4,500 feet high, and the sound of the water crashing against the sea can be faintly heard hundreds of miles away.
Only elven winged ships can break away from Silver Falls and leap into the ocean - but that doesn't mean you just hold the rudder and control the ship not to deviate, the power of tens of millions of tons of water is more terrifying than any magic, they will carry the ship all the way down, straight to the bottom of the waterfall, there have been ships and toppled trees falling into the Starlight River, they are either as big as a pavilion or as thick as a circle, but no one has ever seen a fragment larger than the palm of a hand come to the surface - Curious warlocks and dwarves had brought various metal tools to test, and they found that even the toughest of adamantite gold would bend and break under the impact of the waterfall, let alone ordinary steel, wood, stone, or human body.
To pass through Silver Falls, hundreds of miles from the mouth of the sea would have to open the wings of the ship and raise its sails to increase the speed of the ship to an unprecedented level - sometimes requiring a mage to cast a spell to stir up a violent wind, because the natural winds do not orient themselves according to the needs of humans or elves.
Luckily for the adventurers, however, the wind was in the right direction as they prepared to increase the speed of their boats, and the wind blowing from the north to the south was wild and furious. The white sails on the winged ship had all been raised, and the wings flickering with magic runes on both sides gradually opened, and the wind elemental came to summon and lifted the entire ship out of the water, first the bow and then the hull, all of whom secured themselves, except for Kerryben, who was at the helm, but the lich and the spells he had prepared were waiting aside.
"Ready?"
The elf says, "We're flying!" (To be continued.) )
