Chapter 265: My name is Mourning Wood
Roger!"
The young man beckoned from the window, and he was even happier than the sorceress beside him, and said with a teasing face: "Ha, you said you were going to look for a friend, but you disappeared all day. I bet to Mellige that you're going to a brothel, oops......"
Hearing the word brothel, a sorceress named Merrigo raised her hand to cast a spell.
A whirlwind swept the young man up and threw him directly from the third floor to the feet of the three Wrens, and he fell into the mud with a snap.
"Yask. ”
Roger called out the other party's name, touched his chin and looked down at him, "You brought it on yourself." ”
Yask got up from the ground in embarrassment, patted the dirt on his body, and said distressedly: "The new clothes I just bought cost a lot of money to order from the top tailors in the city, and I only wore them for half a day. ”
He looked up at the window, "Mei Lige, you're too hard. ”
"Hee-hee-hee......"
The sorceress above covered her mouth and laughed twice, crisp and pleasant, with a bit of coquettishness.
Wren observes Aske with the Eye of a Soul.
His appearance is extremely outstanding, his facial features are delicate and handsome, his elegant temperament is a little uninhibited, his eyes seem to be able to speak, he has two small mustaches, full of masculine charm, if it weren't for his lack of pointed ears, he would definitely make people mistake him for an elf.
The custom-made clothes on Yask's body are gorgeous to the point of being a little exaggerated, which is difficult for ordinary people to control, but they are very suitable for him, without the slightest vulgarity, but sets off a unique dressing style.
With his appearance and a few rhetorical words, he was able to seduce countless women to climb into his bed.
Moreover, Yask is not a false appearance, and his strength is quite good.
He is a high-level shepherd, and from the perspective of the elements in his soul, his attack ability is relatively mediocre, but he is very outstanding in support and healing, and is proficient in many plant-based spells.
Shepherds are relatively rare spellcasters, and those who can cultivate to a high level are even rarer.
This is the first time Wren has met someone who can compete with him in appearance. Of course, it's just that he is qualified to compare, and Wren believes that he is still more handsome.
If compared to strength, Yask is even worse
At this moment, the sorceress's figure disappeared in a gust of wind, and then, as if in a flash, moved from the third floor to the courtyard in the blink of an eye, and waved his hand to close the door behind Wren.
"Welcome to my home. Roger, won't you introduce me?" she said generously.
"Hmm. Roger, who usually has a cold expression, has an extraordinarily gentle look in his eyes.
He nodded, pointed at the two of Ren, and said simply: "This is Rennes, I told you before. And Izu, who was a friend of Wren's and is now a friend of mine. Isu is a Shadow Assassin and is also involved in the hunt. ”
As soon as Roger's words fell, a scream rang out:
"Wren Augustus!"
Asque looked surprised, stared at Wren as if he were looking at a rare treasure, and exclaimed in disbelief, "You are the Earl of Glamorgan, the youngest speaker of Wezeland, the imperial hero who saved the floating city?"
His expression was so fanatical that he almost pounced.
Wren felt a little numb in his scalp, and suddenly remembered the scene of the crazy star chaser clan in his previous life seeing his idol, and hurriedly took half a step back quietly.
Asker shook Wren's hand warmly.
He said expectantly, "Your Excellency, I am a bard, my name is Yask, I have admired Your Excellency for a long time, and I have written more than a dozen poems for you, as well as three songs, Your Excellency must enjoy them. ”
Yask pulled a booklet out of his bosom, quickly opened it and began to read it.
"A hero, standing in my heart,
His strong will, not afraid of evil and challenges, defended the city in the sky,
The world revolves for him,
He is the fortress after the catastrophe......" the bard recited in a passionate voice, his tone reverberating in the small courtyard.
Roger and Mellie couldn't help but smile, and Izuku also had a strange face.
Wren couldn't laugh or cry, he had never seen this meeting in his two lifetimes, and someone actually wrote poems to himself and read them out in public.
This is a public execution!
If it's a love poem written by a woman, that's acceptable.
The man was too embarrassed, but Yask himself didn't think it, while reciting poetry, with rich body language, immersed in it, with a bit of contagion, Wren was embarrassed to interrupt.
Fortunately, the poem was not long, only a dozen lines, and it was quickly finished.
"There is another one that is also very well written, please listen to ...... Your Excellency"
Yask turned a page and was about to continue reading, but Wren quickly stopped him, "Mr. Yask, thank you for the poem you wrote me, let's get here here today, there will be many opportunities to perform in the future." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, then it is settled. Yask was a little unwilling, and muttered: "In addition to poetry, the music I compose is also very good, and I will like it when I play and sing it on the lute." ”
Wren smiled and nodded slightly.
, avoid this guy in the future, and never give any chance to recite poetry.
"Your Excellency, and Mr. Ysso, come in quickly. As the hostess, Mellico beckoned everyone into the warmly furnished living room.
Roger was clearly familiar with the place.
He untied the twin swords behind his back and put them aside, half-lying on the sofa, relaxing as if he were back at home.
With a tap of her hand, a fluctuation of soul power was heard, and a pot of hot tea flew out of the kitchen, as if there was an invisible hand carrying it, and poured a cup for everyone.
"Please enjoy, this is my novice rose tea, don't dislike it, two distinguished guests. While entertaining guests, Mellico naturally sat next to Roger, not shying away from the intimacy between the two.
Her gaze fell primarily on Wren, expecting his reaction.
Wren doesn't know how to taste tea, and it's only been half a year since he became a nobleman, so he tasted it, smacked his lips, and could only pretend to nod perfunctory: "Good tea......"
Mellie kept smiling, very knowledgeable and didn't ask what was good.
On the contrary, Isu has some doorways, and after drinking it, he has a look of enjoyment.
"Tsk, Mei Lige, I've known you for so many years, and I'm finally willing to take it out, this tea is ......" Yask just wanted to make a long speech, but was glared at by Mei Lige lightly, and immediately shrunk his neck, muttering twice in his mouth.
Wren looked at the witcher, "Master Roger, now you can talk about your plans. ”
"Good. ”
Roger sat up straight and said with a serious face: "Our target is a vampire earl, his name is Arritin, he has been operating in Jubilee Hill for many years, he is ostensibly a good winemaker, and there is a famous wine estate on the outskirts of the south of the city, called White Crow Winery. ”
Meligo and Asker's faces changed slightly, and it was the first time they learned the identity of their target.
"Mr. Arridine is a vampire?" Melligo couldn't believe it, "I've been to White Crow Winery, and the red wine produced there is very high, and it is one of the top red wines in the Principality of Hohavin, and I have been in contact with Arridine two or three times. ”
"Yes. Roger nodded affirmatively.
"Fifteen years ago, I tracked down a mid-tier vampire for three months, and finally found White Raven Winery, and determined Arritin's true identity, and I can't be mistaken. ”
"Most of the people in the winery are ordinary people, and only a few of the top managers are vampires. ”
"They're all vampires controlled by Arritin, and they're usually very careful to hide their identities and run the winery like a real winemaker, and it's normal for you to not notice it. ”
Melly listened to Roger's words, and her face suddenly changed.
Izu asked, "So what do we do?"
Roger took out a map from his pocket, unfolded it on the table, and said, "There are many cellars under the winery, and as a surface cover, Arettin has dug a large cave deeper into it as his lair. In the past six months, I took advantage of Arritin's departure to sneak in and explore a few times, but because I was protected by a magic circle, I couldn't go deeper, so I only drew a map of the periphery. ”
Wren looked at the map, which was divided into three parts.
Each section represents a basement with more than a dozen spaces, connected by dug passages, like a vast underground labyrinth.
And this is only the top three-story cavern, and it does not reach the core.
A lair that has been run by a vampire count for many years may not be so easy to attack, and it is certainly not only an enemy of Arritin.
"There won't be more than fifty vampires under Aritin. ”
"Moreover, most of these vampires have their own hiding spots, and only a few have been hiding in the burrows for a long time. ”
Roger continued, "You can rest assured that the vampires above the legendary ones are all in their own hands and will not be subservient to other vampires, so there are no other legendary vampires in the White Raven Winery except for Arritin. ”
"My plan is simple, make sure Arridine is in the lair and fight my way in. ”
"Vampire dens generally have three entrances and exits. ”
"I've figured out the location of each entrance, so we're going to split up into three operations, destroy two entrances at the same time, and then block the remaining one, and then move together after the five of us converge. ”
Roger pointed to three red pen locations on the map, two red crosses and a circle.
The red cross is the exit to be destroyed, and the circle is the rendezvous point.
Wren carefully looked at the distance from the exit, the farthest one was in the middle of nowhere, about two miles from the winery, and the closest one was less than five hundred meters.
"Leave it to me to destroy the exits, and I can do it alone. He took the initiative.
Roger was a little surprised, "Are you sure?"
"Of course. Wren took out the Arcane Torrent Staff and lit it up in front of everyone, "With it in my hand, even if it's ten exits, I can get them all in a minute." ”
"Epic Staff!"
As a legendary spellcaster, Melie Ge has a high eyesight, and immediately recognized the quality of the Arcane Torrent Staff, and her face could not hide the look of envy.
With the exception of Ysu, who had already known, Roger and Asque were surprised that any epic weapon was priceless and hard to come by.
"Your Excellency, may I admire it?" asked Meligo expectantly.
"Ma'am, please call me Wren. ”
Wren generously handed the staff to Melly, she carefully took it, rubbed the staff, identified the attached magic effect, and sighed: "It is worthy of the epic staff, it is too powerful!"
After admiring it, Melig returned the staff to Wren, "Thank you." ”
"Alright, the task of destroying the exit is up to you. Roger no longer hesitated, and took out two alchemy bombs that were obviously larger in size, "This is my special 'Incineration Flame', the power is increased by nearly five times, just throw it with soul power activation." ”
Wren nodded, and put the alchemy bomb into the ring.
"Wait until Wren joins us, and then kill them as soon as possible. Roger reminded: "Vampires are no stranger to everyone, but the legendary vampire is countless times more powerful than ordinary vampires, and its strength and speed are much higher than ours, especially be careful against its spells." ”
"Bloodline spells are less explosive, but they are pervasive and difficult to guard against. ”
"Especially in the vampire's lair, Aretin must have built a pool of blood for himself, providing it with a steady stream of energy, creating a wide range of spell weakening and negative effects, if it is affected for too long, it may get out of control, or even transform into a blood servant. ”
"So," Roger looked at Asker, "your main task is to dispel negative effects for us. ”
Yask put away his flirtatious expression and replied, "No problem. ”
"On the way into the lair, every vampire should not be spared, lest they go out to report the news. Roger continued: "Once you've found Arritin, I'll take the lead, because only I can keep up with it. ”
"Mr. Isu, you follow your own combat habits and wait for an opportunity to launch an assassination. ”
"Assist me when I have to. ”
"Melly, you cast a spell to interfere with Arettin, if there is a suitable opportunity, you can bombard it with a powerful spell, the vampire count has a high magic resistance, and it is difficult to lock, pay attention to your own safety first. ”
Roger gave everyone a combat mission.
In the end, it was Wren's turn.
"Wren, I'm a little confused about your strength, but I know that you have a body of steel and the highest defense among us, so when you first enter the lair, you need to rush to the front to attract enemy fire and fend off the first wave of attacks. ”
"If you can't keep up with Aretin when you fight him, you immediately retreat to Meligo and Yask to protect the caster. ”
"What do you think?" asked Roger.
"Uh......" Wren scratched his head, he thought he would be the main force in the battle, but he didn't expect Roger to position himself as an iron guard.
Roger hadn't seen himself make a move since the last time the two of them came out of the dwarven fortress together.
Even if he knew that he was a battle wizard, had the ability to cast spells, and had defeated the legendary high-level death knight, he still made the most conservative assignment of duties.
Wren also knows that Roger is not disdainful of his own strength, and every transcendent team needs a character who can carry and fight and protect the caster.
It's like a tank from a previous game!
The tank is the one responsible for the beating, but it is essential and the core of a team. The others' defense is relatively mediocre and not durable, so they can only be handled by Wren.
"No problem. ”
Wren confidently assured, "With me, the two of them won't get a single hair hurt." ”
