Chapter 233: Death of Neverwinter II
Red Moon's personality has two sides, one is a disciplined personality that tends to follow the rules, and the other is a performative personality based on an undercover role. The two personalities can switch seamlessly according to their needs, and because of the relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder, both personalities are a bit extreme - which causes the red moon to look like a fine and schizophrenic in everyone's eyes.
"This damn day is finally coming to an end! I'm fed up with walking down the road dressed like this that makes me feel like a monkey. Let's go, before the sun goes down, I'm desperate to have a drink...... Don't wear this damn dress! Kelg grumbled loudly.
"It's going to be a little bit longer before the time comes......" Arthur said hesitantly.
"Leave it alone, let's go! Come on! Nesica ran and grabbed the arm of the captain, Arthur, and squeezed her full chest against it. Arthur blushed and was dragged to the door. "Okay, okay, there shouldn't be anything ......"
Eleanne stared angrily at Arthur and Nessica, and turned to ask Red Moon. "I thought you'd stop it?"
The dog of the orderly camp, it's time for you to go into battle!
"Let's go! Come on! "Who knew that the red moon also followed the team and walked low, "That woman is here again!" ”
"That woman ......" Erani's face changed, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace. Unfortunately, it was still late.
Near the gate of the Black Lake District, a thin, yellow-faced woman was standing in a flower bed shouting something to a small group of people. Seeing Arthur and his party coming, she jumped off the flower bed and staggered forward a few steps, then pounced hard before falling, and successfully hung herself on Arthur!
"Arthur, hero of Neverwinter, please help us!"
Nessica ('⌒′メ), Elleni ('⌒′メ): "Formosa, you let go of my hand!" Who allowed you to hold our captain! ”
The two men worked together to "rip" the woman named Formosa off Arthur's body, during which Arthur kept his hands raised so high that he didn't even dare to touch them. Kelger watched with envy, although this woman was not very thin, he had never encountered such a good thing.
This woman named Formosa is not the first time they have met, nor is it the first time they have pestered Arthur, who made Arthur famous! As a result of that public trial, the people of Neverwinter came to know Arthur. Although the upper echelons regarded Arthur as a troublemaker, the people at the bottom still liked them very much, and even worshipped them as heroes.
The Arthur team is also very proud of it, and under normal circumstances, if something comes to them, such as finding a cat and a dog to be a thug, they will help. After receiving a few words of praise and experience points, it is also very beautiful.
But this Formosa request is different!
She begged them to kill......
According to her, there is a bad wizard named Mandain in the Black Lake who controls the grain trade in the entire region. Not only is this scoundrel hoarding food and price gouging, but he is also trying to create a man-made famine to fulfill his evil purpose of sacrificing sacrifices to demons! So she asks Arthur to lead his righteous friends to kill the wizards, open the warehouse, and save the starving civilians in the Black Lake (the noble district also lives with some civilians who serve them)!
It didn't even take Red Moon to oppose Arthur and the others to know that this thing couldn't be done. They are just kind, but not stupid. It's not a game either, what are the consequences of killing people in Neverwinter? They had just studied the laws of Neverwinter because of the Great Trial, and they remembered it very well.
"I think you should go to Lord Erebes, she'll be sure to help you take care of this."
"Inquisitor? She is the lackey of the axe and the sword of the powerful! We might as well starve to death if we count on her! Formosa jumped up and screamed, and the citizens behind her followed suit. At this moment, a sentence that was not too high but made everyone hear it clearly came into their ears, and everyone seemed to be poured cold water on their heads!
"Who's going to starve?" A calm voice interjected, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
Dressed in full armor, Erebeth pushed through the crowd and walked in, instantly holding the audience. Sister A looked around for a moment and stopped her gaze on the thin woman. "Formosa? Why are you here? ”
"Why can't I be here! I'm also from Neverwinter, and I have the right to come to the Black Lake...... I was helping out at a wizard's house. She was a little intimidated as she spoke, but then she perked up again. Why are you interrogating me! Do you know what's going on? Do you know how murderous we are starving? ”
"Yes, we're starving!" A crowd shouted.
"You don't care if someone hoards food," Formosa had a glint of excitement in his eyes, "and little Joe, Arnold, Tracy...... They are about to starve to death, and you big officials are still indifferent, eating and drinking spicy food and spicy food every day, and fighting for power and profit! ”
"That's right, Xiao Qiao, they are all starving to death, but you are eating and drinking spicy food." A crowd shouted in unison.
Arthur was stunned, and Red Moon was also stunned, why did they look a little wrong!
Only Erebeth was unmoved. "Feeling hungry, I went to Vanswick, who was distributing food around the city every day. But I see that your shouting is quite loud, and it doesn't look like you're starving at all. And who are you talking about, Little Joe? Joe Adonis? Isn't he dead? Died of the plague, the corpse I collected for him a month ago. ”
"Even if Joe isn't, there's Arnold, Tracy ......"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Erebeth became serious, "I can name two-thirds of the people in this city, are you trying to fool me?!" Fuck off, or I'll let you dig up the sand!" ”
The crowd immediately dispersed, and Formosa was at the front. After a while, they gathered on the street corner again, indignantly saying something like "axe lackeys", but no one paid any attention to them.
*****
"I need your help." Erebeth turned to Arthur.
But halfway through speaking, Kelg shook his beard, "No, we're busy!" The order in the Black Lake District is chaotic, and we can't leave it for a moment! "The dwarves can say whatever they want, and he is very angry that Erebeth sent them to the Black Lake without asking.
Erebeth frowned, "I thought you and Shen Yan were friends, so I entrusted you with the most difficult part." If that's the case......"
"Huh? Wait a minute! You sent us to the Noble District because you attach great importance to it? Nesika was skeptical, and Kelg was red-faced...... This is different from what they thought, and they thought they were thrown here because they didn't want to see them.
The truth is that you are right, but don't you know that the training of "eloquence" by the paladins is the most important thing?
"Of course! Why are you asking this question? You are my brother's close comrades-in-arms, and the red moon over there is my brother's savior. We should all be our own people (he~), and when we encounter a tricky problem (the problem of needing to carry the black pot), I must have thought of you first. ”
That's right! A few people looked at each other, and you didn't seem to be right at all! Ordinary people must think "why don't you think about us first when you have good things", but such people will definitely not become heroes. Arthur and the others were obviously not ordinary people, and they were encouraged to hear Erebeth say this.
"Tell me, if there is a tricky problem encountered this time, we will definitely do our best to help."
Erebeth thought for a moment, first asked the guards to clear the surroundings, and then asked questions with an increasingly serious expression. "It's a matter of life and death in Neverwinter, can I trust you?"
She looked up, only to see five pairs of eyes that shone brighter than a light bulb - save Neverwinter? You said it earlier! This task was just perfect for us!
My brother's teammates are also perverted......
"Did you notice that the gates of the Black Lake were opened today?" After asking questions, seeing a few people nodding, Erebeth continued, "We asked for help from Waterdeep, and Your Excellency Blackrod not only found a cure for the plague with prophecy, but also helped collect the corresponding medicinal materials and send them to Neverwinter. The medicinal herbs were secretly transported in through the Black Lake District, which is the fundamental reason why I sent you to defend the Black Lake District. ”
Several people lowered their voices and cheered, "So Neverwinter is saved?" Can the plague be cured? ”
"Yes, Neverwinter is about to be saved." Erebeth acknowledged the claim, despite her recent efforts that the spread of the disease in Neverwinter had been contained. "But now something goes wrong, the medicinal herbs are actually four magical rare animals, and the specific configuration of the potion has to be carried out in the temple...... But on their way to the temple, they were attacked, and all four animals fled! ”
