514 Heads to Creek Wood again
As for why the mage's laboratory was elected......
I won't mention the clichΓ©s of magic traps, because even if you're a mage yourself, you never know what catastrophic accidents are going to happen to you in a magic experiment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Explosions are commonplace, otherworldly creatures are perennial visitors, and there is no telling how many mages have been catapulted to the heterotopic plane, and God knows when a life mage will make a Resident Evil!
You must know that when the mage himself conducts magic experiments, he is more rigorous than when he goes to the battlefield, and all kinds of protective magic can be thrown at himself without money, until he thinks that he will not be damaged in the slightest if he is in the center of the big bang......
And the more powerful the mage, once there is a magic test accident, then the disaster caused is enough to be called a natural disaster.
Therefore, when he saw that not only the residence, but even the laboratory was on the main hall of the Dragon Night Palace, Yukikaze was stupefied by the group of Nords who looked down on magic...... Do you know that your own mother is doing this?
However, fortunately, the court mage of the Dragon Night Palace, Fa Renjia, was not a powerful mage, and the laboratory was so simple that the magic experiments that could be done were extremely limited. So unless something happens and the scale of the accident is expanded. Otherwise, with the strength of this mage, at most, it will only blow off a corner of the Dragon Night Palace, and it will not have an absolute destructive effect on the entire Dragon Night Palace.
Hestia does have some understanding of the destructive power of mages, but how to say it, there is still a little lack of understanding of the disasters that mages can cause if they have an accident in a magic test~ Therefore, there was no expression on his face, and Bailong was indeed well aware of the destructive power possessed by the mage, but Bailong's expression was ...... Well, you should be looking forward to Hestia's cute expression when she was taken aback.
This is actually a good thing, after all, it is a great impoliteness for others to show an expression of fear of being served on someone else's territory.
Walking up to the cloaked mage, Barguf spoke, "Farenga, I've found two people who can help you complete your dragon plan, go tell them all the details." β
After nodding, Farenga turned his head to look at Hestia and Bailong and said, "It seems that the lord thinks you can help me?" Oh yes, I need help someone else to help me retrieve an item. β
"Okay, I say it's taken, but I actually need you to go deep into a dangerous monument." Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two Hestias, Farenga said in more detail, "Find a stone tablet that may or may not be found." β
"So, where is that stele?" Hestia asked, "What kind of stele is it?" β
Farenga happily said to Hestia's inquiry: "Straight to the point? Skip the verbosity, I like that. To hell with the details, right? β
Well, after Farenga said these words happily, Hestia didn't have anything, Bailong and Xuefeng were wet behind their backs~ a big ~ piece: Big ~ Master, I call you Big ~ Isn't it okay to be a master? Get the details back, get back the details that you threw away immediately! Otherwise, how long can this Dragon Night Palace exist? A year or a day?
Seriously, mages are a bunch of creatures that live by the details, magic is not something that can be thrown around, and the more advanced the magic, the more terrifying the model, and not much worse than the creations of the interstellar age. And these models, as long as there is a mistake in one detail, then the enemy can watch the fireworks while eating melon seeds, and by the way, they can get a big victory without much effort.
Therefore, among all the legal professions, except for the three-plate axe of the paladin, only the group of mad mages completely gave up healing, threw the details and reason on the ground together, and then frantically rolled into pieces...... The consequence is that you may not even know what magic these mad mages can throw? Killing? Or suicidal?
Therefore, when Farenga said this, the three of them, including Hestia, had already rejected the possibility of fighting with the mage who had given up healing in their hearts.
But Fa Renga's words were not finished, or what followed was the point: "I, ah, heard that there was a stone slab hidden in the peak of the Hanluo Mountainβa 'dragon stone'. β
"Go to the cold mountain peak and find the stone slab...... It must have been hidden in the main burial chamber - and brought it back to me. β
"Well, it's easy, right?"
Hestia, who was very attentive to the details, then asked, "Can you tell us the details of the situation of the cold falling peak?" β
"It's an ancient tomb, built by the ancient Nords, probably dating back to the time of the War of the Dragons." Fa Renga couldn't give any more information, "Ah, maybe you want to know how to get there. It's right next to Creekwood, a run-down town a few miles to the south, and the locals will be sure to point you in the right direction when you get there. β
β¦β¦ Indeed, the locals do point in a clear direction:
Hadava's instruction was truly impressive for Hestia and Bailong, so profound that one couldn't help but want to beat Hadava.
After being speechless for a while, after confirming that Farenga no longer knew any more information, Hestia followed her curiosity and asked, "How do you know that the slate is in the Hanluo Mountain Peak?" β
"Well...... We've got to keep some trade secrets, right? As if to enhance reliability, Fa Renjia emphasized in the second half of the sentence: "I have my own source, a reliable source!" β
In this regard, Hestia and Bailong both looked at the mage who was still talking about throwing away all the details with a speechless expression.
Since the details have been thrown away, what does it matter to tell us directly the source of the news? It is still said to be a trade secret?
"This is the first priority, we need to mobilize all available resources to deal with this dragon, and we need to be prepared to face a group of dragons, and we need to move quickly and without delay."
It should be said that the lord with great praise, Barguf, almost presciently, began to immediately prepare the means and plans to fight the dragons, and not against a single dragon, but against a group of dragons.
"Of course, Lord Barguf, you have found me a right-hand man." The Chosen one reinforced, "I'm sure they'll be useful. β
"When it happens, you'll be rewarded." In the name of the lord, Bargulf entrusted Hestia and Bailong with this task, "Snowman City will owe you a favor. β
With that, Barguf turned and left. And Hestia and Bailong were about to turn around and leave, when they suddenly heard strange noises and magic fluctuations behind them, and looked back.
A guy in a cloak was throwing candlelight with all his might......
Although candlelight is not lethal, and it is indeed some kind of magic exercise. But after seeing Farenga's crazy energy, the cold sweat behind Hestia and Bailong broke out again.
"If it's okay in the future, I will definitely not come to Longxiao Palace!"
"Agreed!"
Maintaining a certain "awe" for Fa Renjia, the two of them quickly left the Dragon Night Palace.
By this time, it was already dark outside, but the rain was still pouring down.
After looking at the sky, Hestia suggested, "It's not early, now find a hotel and get ready to rest." β
Bailong didn't answer, but nodded his head to indicate that he agreed with the suggestion.
As for the choice of inn, although no one else was asked, Hestia still chose the best rated mare banner in Snowman. Cause? You have to understand what a good location means for a store.
As the only hotel to appear on the path of the Hestia duo to the Dragon Night Palace, it naturally became the best choice at night when there were almost no pedestrians on the road under this kind of downpour.
After entering the store, a dark~dark-skinned maid stepped forward and said to Hestia and Bailong, "If you need anything, go and talk to Hulda." β
And Hulda, who was located at the counter and was obviously the proprietress of this hotel, also greeted the two and said, "Welcome, just tell me if you need anything...... There should still be a clean cup to keep it in. β
Meanwhile, inside the inn, there are bards singing...... It's just that, well, in terms of the plane Hestia was in, the bard's songs were too low-level.
Just as Hestia and the others were heading to the counter, a timid voice suddenly whispered, "Ma'am, do you want to give you a gold coin?" (There are only gold coins in the game, so the default monetary system of this plane is the exchange of different gold coins)
Turning his head, he could see that the beggar was a little girl dressed in a dress that had been barely sewn together from tattered linen. Although she is now unkempt and black-faced, it can still be clearly seen that this girl's appearance is still at the middle and upper level.
"Here, take it."
Hestia was not a saint who could not see poverty and vulnerability, but he was certainly not a wicked and indifferent person. Broadly speaking, Hestia should have been a standard good man, at least in the face of the little girl's begging, and easily gave a gold coin out of compassion.
Even if he sympathized with the little girl, Hestia was only giving a gold coin. Or if you give more, instead of helping the little girl, you will do harm.
Hestia was clear about this.
"Thank you! Bless the good spirit! β
Well, after giving away this gold coin, Yukikaze can indeed find out that Hestia is blessed by the Holy Spirit. At least at this time, Hestia's affinity and trust for the aborigines almost doubled.
Of course, this change was imperceptible to Hestia itself.
Looking at the little girl's happy smile, Hestia estimated that she would not be able to beg for a few gold coins a day. However, to be able to come to this inn on a rainy night to shelter from the rain and spend the night, it seems that the hostess of this inn is also a nice person.
But why not get a job in this hostel?
Thinking of this, Hestia asked, "Why are you begging?" β
"Yes...... It was Brinnon who made me do it. Perhaps because of the gold coin Hestia had given her, or perhaps because of Hestia's near-rebellious affinity, the little girl hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "He's the only one who has treated me well, since...... Since mom she's ......."
At this, the little girl seemed to be unable to hold back, and began to weep silently, but still continued to say to Hestia:
ββ¦β¦ Since her death, my uncle and aunt have taken over the farm and swept me away. They say, "I'm useless...... I wandered here, but ...... I don't know what to do, I miss her so much......"
Adopt this little girl...... No kidding, now that Hestia and Bailong don't even have a fixed place to live, how can they adopt this little girl?
Say take it on an adventure? This is definitely a murder plan!
So after comforting the little girl a little, Hestia and Bailong went to the counter, ordered some food for today's dinner, and asked the proprietress about the little girl.
"Oh, you mean Lucia. The little girl was also pitiful, her man had died of an illness a few years earlier. And the mother who supported their family was also killed by a sudden beast on the night of a year ago. Subsequently, the little girl was kicked out by relatives who were watching on their farm, and it is unknown when she wandered here. β
The hostess of the inn wiped the cup in her hand and recounted:
"I think this little girl is quite pitiful, and she occasionally offers food, or bad weather like the one that makes her spend the night in the woodhouse here. As for Jean Lucia working here...... She was still too young, and it might be better for her to do so now, for no one would pay attention to a little beggar by the roadside, but to a rather nice maid. (If you understand this, you will know it yourself)"
Hestia then asked Hulda about Brinnen. The proprietress who has opened a hotel here almost all her life, naturally knows everyone here:
"That guy is a bad guy too. He is a good and successful businessman, at least much more honest than many businessmen. But this guy was deceived by his partner in the end, not only lost his own property, but also all his connections. The only fortunate thing is that the arrears were eventually paid off. β
"Although he is a drunk, he is really good for Luxia, at least when he can eat enough, he will not let Lucia go hungry."
PS: If it is in the real world, located in the middle of Skyrim Province, and there is a snowy city represented by the comrade group, only one hotel is the biggest incredible. Even if you only zoom in ten times on the game map, there are two or three hotels in the snowy city.
