Chapter 17: News to Estel 3
Klinus and his party finally arrived at the gates of New River Valley City, and as soon as they landed, Noah was holding on to a tree and gagging. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Look at Augast again, if it weren't for the armor on his body, he would have been embarrassed by Abel's tightly clutched claws.
Overall, thanks to the efforts of Klinos and Ebner, everyone arrived at their destination safely and quickly.
Able carefully climbed off Ogust and cautiously stepped on the ground, making sure that Klinos wouldn't make anything more.
"My armor is a scrap...... "Ogst looked at his armor, which was scratched by Abel.
Able stood firm, staggered a few times and said, "Don't blame me, anyway, the hole in your shoulder made by the ghoul also makes it time to retire......"
When Klinus waited for Noah to finish his work at the tree, he said, "Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you. The largest grain warehouse in Rante, a new look of the city full of history. New River Valley City!"
When they looked around, they saw the banner of the Romeo family's red-beaked bird hanging on the huge city wall. Some uneven places can be seen on the imposing exterior wall, indicating that it has experienced a siege battle.
It didn't take long for it to get dark, and there were still a lot of pedestrians in and out of the city.
"We need to be as low-key as possible. As he spoke, Klinus drew his wand and waved it, and his delicate robes faded from their striking colors to tattered clothes.
With a wave of his hand, he pointed at August, and the lion coat of arms of Pendragon was so badly worn that it was impossible to distinguish the original pattern.
August spread his hands and said, "You're forcing me to buy a new set of armor." ā
Without waiting for Klinos to do anything, Ebna cast his own magic and dressed like a dusty passerby.
"Is this a trick?" Abel asked.
"No, I removed the gold-encrusted lines from the robe, so that it did become a tattered garment. Clinos said, "If I use a trick to confuse the whole city, it will not be enough for all the mages in the empire to cooperate with me." ā
"Why do you have gold on your robes?" Abel asked.
"For the sake of affinity, my lord. Klinus said: "Metals such as gold and silver are the smooth passage of the arcane energy, and the use of their arcane energy can be more easily retracted. ā
"Why don't you wear armor made of gold?" asked Abel.
"Mages need to keep their bodies moving smoothly, not locked in sealed armor. "Like the flow of water, the Ao Neng needs to be channeled and dredged. If you block it, it won't end well......"
Noah stumbled over and asked, "Are you wearing gold-encrusted robes the best kind?"
"I hope too, that gold is so expensive and beautiful. This metal, which carries the largest circulating goods in the world, happens to be the best thing that Oto-Neng can affinity. Clinos said, "But in fact, the gold-encrusted robes worn by noble mages are only because gold has its own unique charm. If we talk about the affinity of the Ao Neng, silver and bronze are also much stronger than gold. The finest of all the Arcanon Affinity metals are Mithril and Adamantite. ā
"What's not metal?" Noah asked with interest.
"It's not metal, and it's very friendly to the arcane, and it's used to make the wand core. For example, the core of the rod in my hand, which is made of Cerberus bone, makes it easier to unleash the destructive magic. In his hand, Abner has a staff core with elf hair, and he will be good at enchantments and changes. Klinos explained.
"And what's the best material?" asked Noah.
Klinus was a little frightened by Noah's curiosity, and said, "There is no best wand core, such as the unicorn horn wand core, which can be very effective in casting healing and other kinds of magic, but it will be weakened in other ways, especially since this wand is almost half effective during the day." The griffon's feather wand core will make it more difficult for the mage to do magic outside of all the change systems. If not many mages would choose those extreme wands, there is no difference between the various complex buffs. So I would say that there is no such thing as the best in the rod core. ā
"Why are you interested in mage things?" asked Abner.
"Because I'm a writer!" Noah said, "You heard me right, I'm a writer." ā
"Writer?" asked August, "what do you write?" history or philosophy?"
"No, I write stories that didn't happen. There are mages, thieves, poets, all kinds of beings. Noah said proudly.
"You're not a mage, you're not a thief, you're not a poet. How can you write a good book?" Abel asked.
"On the contrary, my grown-ups. Noah cleared his throat and said imposingly: "I am a nobleman who is neglected by fate, I am a writer who is questioned, I am a traitor who talks and laughs and kills kings, I am a woman who secretly cheats, I am an old man who cries for his son, and I am a thousand soldiers alone!"
Mutter......
"It's not my stomach......" Ebna muttered.
Everyone hadn't eaten since they saw New River Valley City in the morning, and they had already pressed their chests against their backs.
"Let's go to the nearest place where we can eat. Abel said.
"As you wish. Clinos said.
"Is that all, don't you have some applause?" said Noah, feigning anger.
The five of them walked through the gates of New River Valley City, searching for the nearest restaurant.
Walk to the main road, turn into the corner, and follow Abel's sensitive nose.
After a while, I saw a restaurant with some taste, with neatly stacked tables and the warmth of the stove rushing to everyone's hearts. The wine rack behind the counter is stocked with a lot of liquor, bread and disc-shaped cheese on the round shelf of the table. The sign standing at the door shows the recommended dishes for the week. Dishes such as roast suckling pig, roasted lamb, fish and chips, there must be many dishes that do not make this list.
"Where are we eating?" asked Ebner.
"It's so flamboyant, we should have kept a low profile. August said.
"But I want to taste it!" Abel protested.
"Those fancy dishes aren't as good as the tavern stuff, I assure you. "When you've ever eaten lamprey and half-cooked steak, you're going to miss the 'normal' food," Noah said. ā
"We're not going to eat here. Clinos said, "It's too risky. ā
Although Abel was unwilling, he still followed everyone and turned his head to leave. Before leaving, don't forget to take a look at the furnishings inside, which is far more majestic than the crowded and dilapidated tavern. The walls are also white and clean, not rough stone.
"Mr. Klinus White. A gentle man's voice came from behind: "You don't have to move, you can eat here with confidence." If you're strapped for money, I'll be happy to waive your bill. ā
Clinos was the first to turn his head, and found that it was a thin man dressed like a nobleman, who had left himself with a smile on his face.
The man called himself by name, and evidently that it would be useless to disguise himself, and said to Abel:
"Looks like you're in luck, Lord Abel. Let's try this restaurant's roast suckling pig today. ā
Abel naturally didn't dare to speak out, and he also knew that it was not a good thing that his identity would be discovered at once.
"Please forgive me for not introducing myself, but I think everyone will be more relaxed if they change to a more comfortable place. After that, we can talk better about the problems between us, privately, of course. The man said, making way into the restaurant. The right hand made a standard guide, like a waiter who has been in the industry for many years.
Augst and Noah looked at each other and nervously followed Clinos inside.
"It was my pleasure to host you. The man said.
"There is no need to be humble, I am honored. Clinos nodded.
The man followed Klinos, walked into the dining-room, and said, "I remember that there was a lady among you, and now I don't see her, and there is one more gentleman. This came as a surprise to me because I always knew my guests inside and out. Can you tell me when Miss Serena will be seated?"
"Just when she wants to take her seat, my lord. Clinos said.
"I can't afford it, my lord, and I have a humble title. There are no invincible knights or skilled thieves around. Mr. White exalted me like this, and it was a shame for me. The man said.
"Let's not beat around the bush!" asked Augst, "who are you?"
"The knight who acts in the will of the Holy Spirit of fate, Martin Marcellus, my lord. The Holy Spirit Knight, Martin Marcellus, said this.
Undoubtedly, everyone present was stunned, the fiefdom of the Marcellus family of the Fatal Knight was far to the south, why did they meet him in New River Valley City?
