Met Minsk, half by coincidence.

Lu Yuan wasn't sure if this person really existed, because judging from the timeline of this world, when he was about to leave a few months ago, this person didn't know where the Dao was, how could he just appear?

Because this time it was another poor ghost, Twilight had to take Minsk to buy some necessary equipment.

Lu Yuan walked in the direction of the Heim Temple, if he said something nice, he might be able to deceive ...... Ahem, you can buy some healing potions.

Dealing with the temple is a troublesome thing.

Because the object of the transaction is not a simple businessman, he has faith. And the place of the transaction is in the other party's temple, you must not cause any offense to the other party's beliefs in words and deeds, you must not be in opposition to the other party in terms of beliefs, and you must have enough respect for the other party's god in your thoughts - this is very important, in the temple, especially in the temple of the white-faced Heim, under the gaze of the big eyes on the emblem, "everything will be hidden", that is to say, the other party can know your thoughts.

Even so, even if you do your best, there is no guarantee that you will achieve your wishes.

The temple was not a merchant, they preferred to give potions to their followers. You are also reluctant to sell to unbelievers unless you are worthy. Fortunately, Lu Yuan still has some status in Naxikai, and these heroes who "saved Naxikai" are currently popular. What's more, he is familiar with most of the people here, and there are always some internal channels of acquaintances. After some twists and turns, he got a few bottles of potions from the priest in charge of the warehouse, and of course, it cost nearly a thousand gold coins!

If it is a normal situation, of course, it is best to deal with the priest in the team, unless it is a hostile god, the servants of the god always start with cedar courtesy. But...... Ahem. Relationship between Alona and Heim. Not so good. As a result, Twilight generally does not approach the Temple of Heim. The reason is said to be that Nana's oracle has a "coffin face of Heim", which triggered an ongoing conflict between the two churches......

The Temple of the Helmet of Heim is the tallest and grandest building in Nasikai, occupying one side of the entire riverside street, with a tall main entrance and layers of columns. boasting of Heim's glory to passers-by. Of course. Lu Yuan's private business. To walk through the main gate is to die. He entered through a hidden back door on one side, and when he was done, he came out through the back door. It's right in a small alley that looks like a dead end.

**********

The secret door of the wall behind him slammed shut, and it was close to the wall of the alley, so that no gap could be seen.

Lu Yuan looked back at the wall inexplicably, and there was always a feeling of unhappiness being raised.

"Don't blame me, Lu Yuan. Business is business, but Heim is on top! I hate everything related to Ms. Alona! On the other side of the wall, his "best friend" from childhood to adulthood, who now works as a trainee priest at the temple, shouted through the secret door, "Good luck! ”

Just now, he was full of emotion to reminisce about the past, patted his chest and sold him medicine, and his "old" friend, who also generously discounted it, turned his head and sold him to the scum. Faith, what a ...... I can't say. Lu Yuan himself lacks faith, and of course he is not qualified to evaluate people with faith.

He just wanted to say, "No wonder a simple deal dragged on for so long." ”

Lu Yuan touched the ring with Alona's mark on his finger, looked up with a wry smile, and saw four heavily armed women blocking the direction of the alley exit.

Four strong-looking women outflanked in a semi-encircled formation, the two in front of them wearing metal armor and carrying warhammers and chains. Two women in leather armor walked behind, one with a longbow and the other with a dart. They all looked at him with an unkind face, especially the lady with the war hammer, and the hatred in her eyes almost burst into flames, as if she could pounce on him at any moment and bite him.

"You've got a bad day, too! I've waited too long for this day! ”

The woman said through gritted teeth. The woman next to her tore off a piece of paper from behind the shield and carefully compared it to Lu Yuan's appearance, "That's right! That's him! ”

Lu Yuan's forehead, damn the wanted warrant, the damn issuing authority.

"Hi ladies, relax, don't hold your weapons. My name is Lu Yuan, a local! The guy on the wanted notice is Chanem, a Candleburger. That wanted notice was wrong! Are you looking for Chanem? I happened to know his whereabouts, and I turned left and walked two hundred meters out of the alley, and it was ......"

"No!" The woman with the hammer and the hateful stare at him interrupted him, "You're the one I'm looking for!" Chasing from the north to the south, I have been looking for you for more than half a year! Lu Yuan! ”

Her voice was full of resentment, both for Lu Yuan and for herself.

Oh, Lu Yuan, who was interrupted, shut up in embarrassment and began to face this woman for the first time. Dressed in heavy armor made of all-metal, she stood at the front with a war hammer, and when she spoke, the other women kept their mouths shut, waiting for her to finish. Apparently, she was the leader of this group. If this is a group of mercenaries and killers of the Iron Throne, Lu Yuan can come with a fireball without hesitation! But when he saw the woman, the not-so-beautiful face, the deep hatred and the traces of wind and frost, he hesitated for the first time.

These women are not pretty, but their equipment is very good - the woman wearing leather armor in the back has a faint magical aura on her body, and the metal armor in front is also military supplies, with weapons with magical aura. The squad has several pieces of magical equipment, and it is the core equipment such as weapons and armor, which is already quite good among the adventurers. Lu Yuan didn't know when he had provoked such a veteran.

"Can you tell me what it is?" For the first time, he wondered what these "NPCs" would say.

The woman. She took a deep breath, as if to suppress the boiling hatred, and then said, "I'll tell you!" I want you to die clearly! ”

"My name is Ramaha and I am the leader of the Amazon Girls adventure group, and we come from the east, farther than the Supreme Forest. In my second year at Sword Bay, I met my husband, Serion, a well-respected local druid, and he was a nice guy. We traveled together, adventured together, and fought the orcs together on the east side of Baldur's Gate. Two years later. Serion and I started a family. Having a lovely child......"

Lu Yuan listened silently, he was not familiar with any of the names of people and places that appeared here. Looking at the gentle expression on the woman's face, she probably remembered something.

"After that. I put down my warhammer. Leaving the 'Amazon Girls'. Like an ordinary woman, she runs the house, takes care of the children, and waits for her husband to come home. Once...... Once, an attack by orcs. Our children, unfortunate ...... Misfortune...... Die young. I didn't protect her, yes, it's my fault! I don't know how to wield a warhammer, and I don't know where my armor has gone, and I panic when the orcs storm the village. If, if I could still fight, the child wouldn't die! Serion won't die! ……”

The woman, Ramaha, began to choke up and burst into tears.

The woman in the back raised her bow and arrows and darts, threatening to land far away. The woman holding the chain flail on the side stared at Lu Yuan and knocked La Maha's shield with her shield, "Don't be weak, go on, my sister." ”

"Ha," Ramaha exhaled for a long time, sharpened his eyes again, and stared at Lu Yuan, giving him a vague sense of ominousness, perhaps there was really an unsolvable hatred between him and Ramaha.

"My husband and I are trying to resurrect our children. But we were too poor to afford the diamonds we needed for the resurrection. So my husband accepted the hire to move the lair of a group of bipedal wyverns deep into the Cloak Forest. Before leaving, he said that if he didn't come back in the short term, he would copy the resurrection of the dead into a scroll and send it back with the casting materials, but I didn't wait, and the child's death time was about to exceed the last limit of resurrection......"

"He moved the dragon's lair to an iron mine, didn't he? He accepted the employment of the Iron Throne, right? I remember that man, he was dressed in clothes made of leaves, he was so powerful, I almost died at his hands that time......"

Lu Yuan said slowly, he remembered the battle on the edge of life and death that he experienced with Twilight Star in the Cloak Forest. Lu Yuan had completely figured out the cause and effect of the matter. "His name is Serion?"

"Serion? Imbas, the second-class Oak Staff bearer of the Darkwood Druid Order. 'Dark Hope' is his title, and his teachings have preserved the balance of nature in the lands east of the Darkwood Forest, and his bravery has protected many villages from orcs! ”

Lu Yuan shook his head, feeling that things were a little ridiculous, my first adventure actually killed a hero?!

It was the first time he had fought so close to death, but after nearly a hundred years in between, he couldn't even remember the person's appearance, but it was only today that he knew the name of this person. He still remembered that the man did carry two diamonds and two scrolls of "Resurrection of the Dead", which Lu Yuan and Twilight Star themselves were of little use, and Twilight Star later gave them to the Lady Temple to distribute.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be prepared by him to resurrect his own child, which was the employment remuneration of the Iron Throne.

"Your ...... What happened to the child? Lu Yuan asked dryly.

"The Iron Throne paid to resurrect our children, and the price was that the 'Amazon Girls' were all loyal to the Iron Throne!"

"You shouldn't. Let's go back", Lu Yuan said in the most sincere tone for the first time, "Ramaha, go back!" Go and accompany you and Serion's children, continue on the path of goodness and salvation, and stop thinking about revenge! It really was just an encounter battle, as a mercenary, you should understand. There is no hatred between us, my partner and I have also helped many people, we should be on the same path, but fate has put us on both sides of the battlefield.

Even if I survived in the end, it doesn't mean anything, and no one is right or wrong! ”

"Don't you think it's too late to beg for mercy now? Did you ever try to get to know him after he died? No, you don't. Because you win, the one who wins is always right.

So, I must avenge my husband, it's an easterner's vow! La Maha pulled her visor down, and it looked as if she had regained her composure and was ready to put an end to it.

"By the way, the image on the wanted warrant was also swapped by me, so that I can catch you! And even if you run away today, don't think about peace! The Iron Throne and Tsavlok already knew that you were the one who destroyed their iron mines, that you destroyed the interception of Grian, and that you killed Mura in the mines of Nasikai! You are now the number one enemy of the Iron Throne! ”

"Why are you ......" The words stopped as soon as they came out, and Lu Yuan was still very surprised and wanted to ask, "How do you know that I did that?" ”

In the matter of the iron mine, it is possible that there are people who escaped at that time, and even someone lurking nearby to spy on it later; For the killing of Mura, everyone went to receive the bounty openly, and of course there was nothing that could not be said; But at least in the matter of Candle Castle, there are only three people who know the Dao, Jasila, Kalid and Glian, how can anyone else know the inside story of the Dao? But then he stopped, because he figured it out - the other party didn't know what to do, she just detained all the charges on Lu Yuan's head as much as possible out of hatred......

Nima, women are terrible.

Lu Yuan was a little stunned, and at the same time, his will to fight weakened again, "Ramaha, your husband has left." So, what will happen to your children if you are killed by me too? ”

"It is the glory of the easterners to die in battle, my partners will collect the bones for me, and my daughters will be proud of me! And she's in her grandfather's, and she's going to be well taken care of......," Ramaha raised her hammer and bowed her head and kissed the emblem tied to her wrist, she was a priest. "Stop procrastinating with words, Lu Yuan! Fight me the way you faced my husband, Serion! If I die in battle, let our hatred end here! I promise that my sisters will not come to your trouble again. But now, we're going to go together. My Lord Guilun Μ‡storm, may your ......"

"Wait!" Lu Yuan shouted and took a few steps back, interrupting Ramaha to pray to her god, "Your child, it can't be called Jil, right?!" ”

"No", since the prayer was interrupted again, Ramaha did not continue, she silently recited the prayer in her heart, and then took a fighting position, "Her name is Leah!" Ah~!!! With a shudder, a blue light descended on her body and on the hammer.

Her companions also attacked at the same time, and behind her, the arrows shot from the longbow cut a line of fire, and the flaming long arrows shot into Lu Yuan's chest. Two darts circled and crossed the arc, sealing the space to the left and right. The woman with the shackle next to her, who was also a priest, began chanting the divine technique "Human Immobilization" to end the battle.

"I'm sorry", Lu Yuan bowed sincerely, and the arrow grazed over his head, and the horizontal staff slammed into the darts on the left and right. He didn't seem to be doing anything, but then a dozen black tentacles rose up and reached through the hems of the ladies' clothes, twisting and stirring......

Female predator, secondary Efalk Black Tentacles!

It doesn't matter if the lady whose magic is interrupted, or whether it is Ramaha who is tearing at the black tentacles on her body in grief and anger, or the two who are tied up with bows and arrows in the back. Lu Yuan maintained an apologetic posture, retreated to the stone wall attached to the alley, kicked with his heels, and his body rose in a curling manner, and then disappeared on the other side of the wall with a slight flip.

There were only a few Amazon girls left, gritting their teeth at the three-meter-high stone wall.

Alas, Lu Yuan ran away depressedly. I really can't get started!

She's not Jill's mother, but neither is Leah! He remembered that when he first came to this world, he met the lonely little girl who was lost in the woods, and she had lost her father, and she could no longer hurt her no matter what.

She is so lonely, she must be waiting for her mother to come home......

"FUCK", Lu Yuan wiped the moist corners of his eyes, and somehow, he remembered his mother.

Right and wrong in this world are so fucking chaotic!
