Chapter Ninety-Eight: Liu Xiang

As a large commercial city, Baldur's Gate naturally has multiple gates for entry and exit, but today's inventory seems to be particularly strict:

Several Flame Fist soldiers led a sturdy yellow dog, carefully sniffing the luggage to be cleared, the squad leader wore glasses that looked like combat power detectors, and scanned the crowd up and down, roughly to detect the magic on their bodies, and vaguely saw archers and spellcasters hiding behind the firing ports of the female wall and the adjacent building, monitoring the traffic at the city gate.

To understand the current situation, you don't need to ask for information. Baihua's ears turned to find the right direction, and he heard the whispers of well-informed people dozens of meters away, and the city gate where merchants, pedestrians, and soldiers were busy and noisy.

As one of the largest ports in Sword Bay, the slopes of the lower town or business district of Baldur's Gate surround the harbor in a crescent shape, and even the sound of whistles and steam cranes can be heard from far away.

It was a middle-aged human dressed in Southern-style clothing, smiling slightly smug after his friend asked him, looking left and right, and whispering mysteriously. This kind of whispering at this volume can't be heard by ordinary people from a distance of one or two meters, which can be said to be very safe in the downtown area, but it's a different story for cats.

- Thomas was often at home alone as a child, and could hear his parents' footsteps and the sound of the door opening. And Baihua may be because of his belief in heart eaters, and he can hear Thomas's heartbeat from a distance.

Baihua didn't need to open his mouth when he heard it, and the key words appeared in Thomas's eyes after being relayed through Cortana: "V, gunpowder conspiracy, curfew, martial law." ”

"Sure enough, there are still many traversers in red robes who have not been captured...... Hmm, the lack of travel after the magical plague may be the knowledge left over from the past?" Glancing at Kurgal and a few other people whose souls came from Earth behind him, Thomas already understood why the harpists didn't like them coming to Baldur's Gate and asking them to stay in a designated inn that was easy to monitor.

In fact, the harpist may really be thinking too much, and those outside of Kulgar can't even communicate with the Faeron people without magic.

"During the experiment, Brother Chen still insisted on learning foreign languages, which is really admirable. Chen Maoping...... This man is so scary and self-motivated. If he wants to compete with me for Gui Ying on Earth, I'm afraid I will be defeated. Remembering that he had been in Cat City for so long, and had only been associated with the dragon givers most of the time, Thomas's face was slightly hot.

Baihua even adapted Xiang Yu's story to ridicule: "When Tang was young, he couldn't learn sword singing, and he couldn't learn magic shooting." The mother was furious. Tang said: Archery is enough to use, the sword is an enemy of one person, it is not enough to learn, and it is not enough to learn ten thousand enemies. So Niangniang taught Tang a high level of magic, and Tang was overjoyed, knowing a little about its meaning, but refusing to learn it. ”

"The fortunate thing in misfortune is that his noble male soul has fallen into a woman's body!"

- Unless, like the Dragon Maiden, she has a jewel worth three thousand worlds.

———— for example, Gui Ying, can be empowered by the vajra of this seat!

Looking back and forth at the line, the others were looking at Baldur's Gate, a city they had only seen in games before, and the scared Flowers hooked Thomas's shirt and put on her favorite look of timidity, but her lowered ears and wagging tail also showed that she was really uneasy.

And Chen Maoping ...... Kurgal, after his captivity and experimentation, was in a somewhat ...... state of mind Like the martial arts author he loves the most after squatting in prison. Although I worked hard to welcome him along the way, in the end, it was only a little better.

What was particularly alarming was the feverish and terrifying look in his eyes when he saw Hélène receiving spells in his face and tearing the trolls (lifting the trolls up to strangle them alive, to be exact).

In fact, Thomas also knew that it was not the way a man looked at a woman—it was the way a man looked at his goal: "That's how a husband should be." Even the warlocks, even the divine arts, are so powerful...... I should have stronger arcane arts, I should be a stronger mage than a warlock!" said Kurgal's actions, and during his journey, he couldn't wait to ask Thomas about how to become a mage, and his willpower and execution were truly amazing.

He wasn't like this on Earth before, probably after experiencing the torture of those sub-male paths, although he gained an iron will, people were also distorted because of it.

This will may be a good thing for him to be brave and diligent on the path of mage, but unfortunately, since the curse plague, the secret organization that has mastered the ultimate meaning of supermagic skills has disappeared again. Otherwise, with Brother Chen's qualifications and willpower, he will definitely be able to blend into them. ”

Silvermoon City has lost its electorate, the Lost Locks are crumbling, and Spell Guards are no longer a good choice as they were a hundred years ago, and as for hugging the Goddess of Magic, with Brother Chen's consistent performance, he is naturally extremely happy to hold this so-called most powerful divine power, but only if there is ......

Perhaps the most suitable for him is the path of his enemy, Sazastan: "As Hélena said, Brother Chen, he is so admired for strength and power...... It's bound to slide towards Bane and the Red Robe...... Let's slide to the *** side. ”

Brother Chen and Gui Ying were at opposite ends of the scale, and it was obvious that water and fire were incompatible. But we must not let our guard down, and we must not tolerate the slightest possibility of becoming a happy enemy!

Because he is so strong, no matter how unbearable the past is, he will definitely get through it.

Fortunately, his soul wears a woman's body, and fortunately, his soul wears a woman's body......

The Flame Fist soldiers pushed and shoved at the pedestrians, shouting and scolding. In the face of the cross-examination, Kurgal visibly showed a wincing expression. And Elena ...... The expression is illegible behind the helmet mask.

It's tech-inspired armor and livery...... and the huge weapons and boxes she was carrying made pedestrians and Flame Fist look sideways, but they didn't dare to look at them directly.

The super-heavy armor worn by Elena is based on the mechanical realm, and in order to match someone's aesthetic, the details and spraying on the exterior further enhance the futuristic technological style. Perhaps it's because this sense of technology reminds the Flame Fist soldiers of the Church of Gonde, further reinforcing their awe of paladins.

After the previous inspection was completed, several Flame Fist soldiers looked at each other for a while, and the air froze for a few seconds, and finally the squad leader stepped up: "I take the liberty of asking, this knight master, are you the ...... of the master of all craftsmen?"

"No, I am a servant of the Platinum Dragon. The paladin showed them the emblem on the shield. This is a common armor and shield modification decoration, which can be used instead of holding a holy emblem to perform divine magic.

The Flame Fist squad leader breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then what's in your box?"

"It's all food and medicinal herbs for this Young Master Nie, as well as daily necessities. Hélène was more commanding than commanding, and the squad leader took a look at Thomas, and felt that his appearance was unremarkable, so he turned his attention back.

"Since it's the Paladin, there's no going wrong with that—it's just that what is this weapon you're carrying?

The team leader finally said what he was most concerned about, in addition to carrying a large box of several hundred pounds and a giant hammer, Elena also wore a box like the Golden Serpent Sword in the movie, which looked like a hidden firearm or explosives - this may not be associated anywhere else, but Baldur's Gate values technology, especially gunpowder and steam.

"This sword is not something you can touch. Elena said mildly, sympathetically.

"Ahh

Without a direct answer, the paladin shook his head lightly and stroked the words engraved on the sword box: "The heavy pupil is already well-known under the tent, and it is also popular in the Long Zhun army. ”

"Half of the world's collection is all wrong, how can you talk about soldiers on the altar?" Thomas was a little surprised, "This is the sword that the butler treasured? You entered my house, and you were not put down by the butler?"

"No, the housekeeper won't let me in. But for some reason, I took the silver sword, saying that maybe I could use it...... As well as let bring Jersey to you. ”

The first time he saw the poem in Ferron, it was when a group of Gisyankees came to Cattown to invite the butler to the astral plane. Thomas tried to find the butler to convey the news, but found that there was no butler in the study, and the poem was written crookedly in the air.

Since Jersey Mon and Guise-Liu Xiang are no longer there, and the butler has been regarded as a deserter and traitor by the Gisyankees and Guiszele for thousands of years, since what he has done in the past is wrong, can he still let the butler, Han Xin, go to see the queen's Empress Lu?

Moreover, why didn't the queen come to the cat city to see the butler, but asked the butler to go to the city of Naras himself?

Thomas declined the invitation of the Giss Yankees on behalf of the butler.

"What are you talking about, get that weapon out and check it!" the squad leader shouted angrily, and the other soldiers looked over the corner. While there may have been magic that helped him understand the literal meaning of the dragon language, the allusions behind it are difficult to explain.

Elena chuckled softly, her voice with a hint of pity and condescending, gentle banter: "Attention, I'm going to draw my sword!"

Thomas secretly screamed badly, and reached out to hold Kurgal's hand—Baihua dodged him as always: "Be careful, don't be frightened by the sword qi!"

The paladin carefully opened the scabbard, revealing a tiny gap, and Thomas couldn't help but make up the sound of a "howl" in his head, and in fact, there was a sudden silence around him. There was only a trace of white light bursting out, but he suddenly felt that the surroundings were bright, and the bottom of his heart and the heavenly spirit cover were suddenly cold, and his feet couldn't help but feel soft, and his hair and even his hair were frightened and turned upside down.

The sword qi spans 30,000 miles, and one sword light chills nineteen continents!

That description was still too small for the sword, even if it was now only a fragment.

A-woo-woo, love woo-woo-woo-hoo!

Come back, come and accompany the green light!

The leader of the Flame Fist squad who bore the brunt of the attack didn't say a word, and fell on his back. The weapons in the soldiers' hands clanged to the ground, and the crowd around them stood still at first, then dispersed in an uproar.

Even the archers in the distance were surprised and missed, and a few arrows flew in a scattered manner, and those close to Hélèna were blocked by floating shields, and a few were stuck crookedly at the merchants—and the stunningly, the Flame Fist soldiers.

There were women and children who were scared and cried, and they screamed.

Ranger inexplicably remembers the first time he met Elena, when Thomas was playing with a Sakura girl, and he was laughing when he saw that the eagle was about to catch a chick. Suddenly, a woman jumped out of the side of the road to do justice, sealed the door in front of Thomas with a fist, opened a sauce shop, and then took advantage of his pain to kick the vital point, and then pressed him down on the shoulder, one knee followed by several elbows......

Before losing consciousness, Thomas only realized that the sun was so dazzling that day, that the chick was so beautiful, and that her bright face looked like it would glow......

"Elder Sun, take the supernatural powers!" Thomas had just shouted, and Elena had already closed the scabbard again.

"Ka, Racha?" said Kurgal, her palms covered in cold sweat.

Thomas looked at it with concern, and suddenly noticed that there was a blood stain on her forehead for some reason, could this sword really see the moon reflection and the sword light kill?

"Exactly, this is what Jersey Mon built for Guise many years ago, who used it in the uprising against the Mind Flayer...... and the King of Shadows, whom Karacha used to slay the immortal and immortal...... That weapon that is trying to destroy the Wall of the Unbelievers!"

“...... fragments. Thomas added in his heart, although it was indeed the main thing, the fragment in Karacha's body was forged for the Lord.

Hélène's behavior can be compared to wandering around with nuclear weapons - although there are tens of thousands of nuclear weapons in active service on Earth, they are not too rare.

- Wait, what does the butler mean by that...... Could it be a hint that Gui Ying and I will become the same situation as Jersey Mon and Guise?

The paladin snorted softly from behind his helmet at a volume he knew he could hear, and Kurgal fell back in fright, pulling his hand away. Elena nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward, grabbed the injured man, pulled the arrow lightly, and gathered a warm light on her hand, using the power of the paladin's laying on hand to heal the wound.

This kind of jealous behavior Sakura and some of the bewildered dragon givers call it "tsundere", but Thomas feels that this is the culture and context that they don't understand and misunderstand Karatu and the general dragon cultural circle, and her meaning is very obvious, completely, absolutely, and completely not hidden.

——For us dragon masters, "the moonlight is beautiful" is a very straightforward love sentence.

Of course, the main reason is to teach dragon males and dwarves, which makes him think that the word tsundere is too disgusting, and he doesn't want to use it for girls at all.

Thinking about it carefully, holding hands with a man is really too basic and unbearable, no wonder Elena can't stand it.

Telling Elena Kulgal that her soul is male is not a breach of Brother Chen's privacy, because there is no more tight-lipped tree hole than a paladin.

"It's been a long time since anyone dared to attack me, and it's not easy to be a soldier. Hélène said tolerantly, gently, serenely, towards the group hurried in the distance.

Ravengard is a dark-skinned, cold, harsh young man, with a skin color and appearance that is suitable for being a paladin who has been proven correctly in various games, but his temperament is completely different. Looking at him and his Flame Fist soldiers, Thomas suddenly remembered Yang Zhi who escorted the birth gang.

In Varro's guidebook, this man is also important to the point of having a tofu block, mentioning that he was born in poverty, and he climbed step by step to the position of commander of the Flame Fist by his own diligence, and he can be called an outstanding representative of Bode Dream.

"I've heard of you, too," Rivengard replied stiffly, "the Messenger of Justice of the Platinum Dragon, the Inquisitor of the Triogod of Justice, whether it's the Red Wizard, the Bane Church, Santarim, or the Eye of Justice, have suffered heavy casualties after fighting you. ”

When talking about the Eyes of Justice, he glanced at Thomas deliberately.

The ranger sneered: You think this can provoke me? Children know that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and cleaning up heretics is more important than fighting foreign enemies!

Ignoring him, Thomas reached out to soothe the scared crying child. But the other party didn't appreciate it, and vigilantly escaped from his clutches, hiding behind his family, and hugging Da Kick.

Kurgal chuckled: "Come, let my sister take it." ”

"Don't, you look like an old witch!"

"Auntie, don't scare the children. Thomas said.

"Shut up!"

"According to the records, your firearms in the world are quite developed. "Those who intend to take advantage of the Grand Duke's trust are always thinking of making firearms—not so many of them are helping to develop industry." Together with the gnomes, they contributed to the great development of gunpowder technology at Baldur's Gate. Moreover, I have heard that the gunpowder and firearms used to grant dragons are very advanced. ”

"Those firearms should have nothing to do with the Nie family, although it can't be said that it is absolutely impossible, but as far as I know, their resources are mainly used for the gangster war in Ximen City. ”

Although it is not as high and powerful as Ravengard, the Platinum Dragon's paladin does not care at all, and still maintains a ceremonial smile that is neither arrogant nor humble, and treats everyone in the Flame Fist equally, regardless of whether they are noble or low, strong or weak.

- It is also possible that they are all regarded as dogs.

"...... the Neng family?" Rivengard wondered.

"Blackwind," Thomas replied, "we're all Martha's men. ”

Faced with his mouthful of nonsense, Kurgal rolled his eyes helplessly.

"It's understandable that you don't know, just go back and ask the Duke of Aberdale. The paladin said in a gentle and slightly condescending tone that tried not to despise and pity the countryman.

Although her appearance is extremely beautiful, what is more conspicuous about her is her self-respecting temperament, not to mention that she doesn't show her face at all when she wears a helmet now.

According to Cortana, much of the charisma in the character's attributes is presence and self-confidence, and Elena is probably the tallest of all he's ever seen.

A certain white-horned knight may be second only to her, that has a small chest, and his tone is indeed not small.

The Asmo girl was proud, and although she had often deigned to help the civilians in Cattown or the vicinity of Ivanale, she had slaughtered pigs, cut wheat, and ploughed the fields, but that didn't stop her from feeling superior to the other humans—tasks that seemed to her to be just prestige, like a player to an NPC.

When Thomas talks about "Baldur's Gate" and "Neverwinter Nights", she only cares about one question: "Who is your heroine?"

For this reason, agreeing to let Flame Fist inspect is only out of etiquette and the paladin's respect for the law, even if in her opinion, the laws of Baldur's Gate are suspected of being polluted by the devil and the dark gods.

"Hmph, remember what you said, it's better not to have anything to do with the people who planned the terrorist attack. Otherwise, even if I am a paladin of the three gods of justice, I will enforce the law impartially!"

Facing the paladins dressed in futuristic armor, the Flame Fist soldiers all looked trembling, and after the commander gave the order to let them go, they all let out a sigh of relief. After all, in the exchange just now, they had already learned that they were facing a heroine who was compared to Cormier's Iron Princess and the Black Guard Commander of the Santarin Society by many people.

- although she herself does not share this view.
