Chapter 289: The Great Dragon Slaying Plan (3)
Sure enough, the two teenagers were excited, or seduced by the heart of justice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"We will not let them go," said the young samurai, as he strode to the middle of the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Although the two of us are the first to exercise love and justice on this trade route, we have long heard that there are many bandits here, and there is chaos, and everyone lives under heavy oppression. Why is this happening? Is it simply because the enemy is strong? His expression was serious, but his eyes were very excited: "No! Again, it's because we're not united enough! It is precisely because we are not united enough that we are oppressed by a few. Let's think about it, is the despicable army that just came with no regard for the honor of the military really much stronger than us? If we join forces, will they really dare to come and rob? No! They don't dare! But how do we do it? You see, all the camps are separated from each other and wary of each other, not to mention an army, even a group of jackals and thieves are enough to plunder us at will! β
Mu Qingyang looked at him coldly, this kind of clichΓ© was quite enthusiastic. If he doesn't really believe it, then the hypocrisy has reached its peak, and he can really do it. And obviously, the people around him didn't like him, and they all raised their expressionless faces and looked at his speech in a daze.
"Think about it, if the dwarves, cavemen, and sub-human earthlings can really unite, then how can we grovel to the demons and demons that are high above? Why did the Lord of Los still exist after centuries of brutal looting? Isn't it because we, the people of the abyss, are not united, and everyone wants others to be destroyed? If we were to be able to unite, how could such a heart-wrenching thing happen? Let so many people be used as cannon fodder to die miserably in battle or be slaves? His voice was actually a little resonant, and it actually attracted some caravan people to come around to watch the excitement. He saw more and more people gathering, and the more he talked, the more excited he became: "So, as long as we work together, we can establish a good order on this trade road, so why not start with this black dragon and work together to punish his sins, so that justice and order can be demonstrated?" You don't have to look ahead, as long as we work together, nothing is difficult to get us! This last sentence is almost a shout, comparable to a mobilization meeting.
However, everyone is obviously still looking ahead, and there is not even half of the person who has expressed his position. It was as if a circle of silent statues were watching the poor boy. So the young warrior's eyes turned to Mu Qingyang, and he somewhat hoped that he would stand up and set an example.
Mu Qingyang looked at him with a smile - just did it, but didn't say a word. The meaning is also obvious: whoever wants to go to this matter will go by themselves, don't pull me. We don't want to get in trouble.
The silence was terrible, and finally the mage couldn't stand it anymore in the first place. He stepped up to the other mage, grabbed his arm, and said excitedly, "Mario, both of us used to serve those little nobles, and it is said that we also have a comfortable life. Why did we come out? It's not because that life has no future! The power is in the hands of those noble lords, the money is in the cunning butlers, and the respect belongs to the mage, what do we who are not up to the mage? False name! There is only a false name far from the public! Why do we want to live here in fear and live in fear? Not so that one day you can take the opportunity to climb to the top of the tower? Only by becoming a high mage can you become a real big man! Now such a good opportunity is in front of him, if he can really kill a dragon, even if he doesn't count his mountain of wealth, there are dragon scales, dragon meat and even dragon bones, the price of these things is very high! As long as you get some of it, will you still worry about the tuition fees for learning fourth- and fifth-order magic? With the foundation of the fifth order, you have a chance to move up the ladder! Only then will he have the opportunity to one day become a truly noble mage above ten thousand people. Think about it, my friend! This kind of opportunity is not available to the vast majority of people in the world in their lifetime! If you don't catch it, will there be a next time? Well? β
The other party seemed to open his mouth a little tempted, but after looking around and still silent, he closed his mouth again.
The mage turned to the other mage a little impatiently and said, "Lei Ting, we've known each other for several years. Why did you run from that peaceful village to a place full of killing, greed and scheming? Well? β
The mage avoided his gaze.
So the mage became excited and shouted at him, "Because you are not reconciled! You are not willing to live in that poor mountain village for the rest of your life, although the people there are simple, but there is no way to fulfill your dreams! Because you are not willing to be a little low-level mage for the rest of your life, and when you are old, you can't walk anymore and lie in that cold and damp room waiting to die! You need glory! You need to be the right-hand man of the Lord God, and you need to let your talents be fully unleashed! And now is the best opportunity God has given you! Who is that black dragon, don't you know who you have been going back and forth on this trade route for so many years? Isn't that the big lizard named Zamuth under the Lord of Loth? β
Another mage hurriedly signaled, "Be quiet!" He can command the wolves and thieves within a radius of hundreds of miles. Aren't you afraid of being troubled by them? β
The mage shouted confidently, "What am I afraid of? Now with these two brave and righteous teenagers, it's the perfect time for us to kill that big bandit everywhere! Not only did he raid the caravans, but he also threatened the nearby dwarven kingdom and the succubus castle, forcing them to pay an annual tribute of gold and other wealth. Although he did not dare to storm the large cities, it was enough to harass the manors and burn the crops. β
At this point, he turned to the mage and said, "If we kill that dragon, you, me, and all of us will be guests of the Dwarven Kingdom and the Succubus!" You will be welcomed and respected by commoners and nobles all the time, and you will be accepted by them. Think about it, old friend! When the time comes, they will all take refuge in your gods, and you, in the favor of the gods, will wear noble and gorgeous mage robes and preach the teachings of the gods! What a glorious thing it is! How many low-level mages can only see things in dreams! β
The mage was still very hesitant: "But the banshee next to him~~"
The previous mage said with some hatred: "If you are afraid, you will never want to gain the favor of the gods in this life!" It's better to run back to your small mountain village and be a stable mage for the rest of your life! If you think about it, that banshee is an ally of Los through and through, and you are a citizen of the gods of the night, how much favor will you get if you kill her? I might even grant you Tier 4 magic right away! Now you go and take the opportunity to get rid of her, and when the black dragon recovers, do you still have a chance? β
The mage was a little tempted, and he whispered, "If there are anyone else~~".
Another mage shouted, "I'll go!" β
Immediately, the atmosphere was mobilized, and after a while, four low-level mages and three low-level mages joined the ranks of "slaying dragons", and there were nine people in total with the two teenagers. Finally, the Rank 4 mage shouted at those who didn't opt-in, "You're going to regret it!" Wait and see, the glory will be ours! β
The crowd began to disperse, but Mu Qingyang heard a low-level mage who walked away sneered: "But life belongs to us." β
He turned his head to see that Hurd seemed to have the intention of joining, but he was hesitant to stand up and join. So he walked up to him, and whispered next to Hurd's surprised smile: "Don't reveal my affairs in the future, or you will chop off your head next time!" β
Hurd asked curiously, "Master, do you really not want to gain wealth and glory?" This is a great opportunity. β
Mu Qingyang smiled: "Who said I won't go?" Of course I will. It's just that I won't go with them. After speaking, he quickly rose into the dark night sky and disappeared into the boundless darkness.
When he reached an extremely high point in the air, he carefully observed that there was no one around, and then followed the residual smell of dragon blood in the air and streaked away into the distance.
Marina flew in the direction of their castle with the humanoid Zamuth, the blood that kept flying from Zamth's mouth and nose had already condensed into a shocking black spot on the bright red mage robes, and he had become more out of breath and less in breath, and his life was on the lineβand the castle was still nearly a hundred miles away! They flew for most of the day to get to the battlefield, but now there is no time to fly back to the rescue.
Zaems said to himself with a mixed expression, "I would have brought some healing potions if I had known." This time it was too careless. As he spoke, he vomited another mouthful of blood, looking like he was about to die.
Marina was in a hurry, because the two of them were used to running rampant in the area, and they were protected by many magical instruments. As a result, in most cases, they would rather carry more offensive spell devices or spells that interfere with or weaken the enemy, and rarely carry healing devices. Although there are a lot of hidden things in the castle, it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near tax, and the most difficult thing is that neither of them can teleport. She sobbed in a panic, "I said a long time ago that I have some talent for shadow arts, and I can learn it. You're afraid to spend money, and you say it's useless. It's good now, I can't fly if I want to. If we do shadow magic again, we can rush back to the shadow plane at 8 times the speed we have now. β
Zamus's mind had begun to blur, and he had no strength to refute it. But in a trance, he suddenly remembered something, and said intermittently: "I remember once giving the old village chief a ring that heals moderate damage, which can be used three times a day. Hurry ~~ Hurry up and go to him~~"
Marina was overjoyed when she heard this, although the dragon's life was much higher than that of the caveman, and three treatments of moderate injuries could not cure his injuries, but they could temporarily hang his life! As long as Zamus doesn't die, with his strong physique of the dragon clan, there may be a glimmer of life. So he hurriedly turned to the northeast and flew away.
"They've turned!" After using a detection spell, the fourth-order mage grasped the general location of Zamuth, and immediately informed everyone: "Fortunately, he is sluggish, and my spell can be released on his body." Judging by the results of the spell detection, their speed suddenly slowed down. And there is a high mountain around. β
The young samurai was more anxious than anyone else, and asked in the tone of an orderer, "Is that mountain?" β
The mage looked around at the mountains in the distance by a little moonlight, and finally pointed to the one in the northeast and said, "It looks very similar to that mountain!" β
Several people looked at each other and said cautiously: "Isn't there a big village in that direction?" β
"Ahh The fourth-order mage seemed to remember something, and said to the young warrior in an excited tone: "He must have run to that village to ask for help or hide!" β
The two samurai were a little surprised: "Help? Who would help a bandit leader who is not a caveman and is an evil black dragon? Was it forced to help him? β
The fourth-order mage sneered: "It's not forced, it's embarrassing!" He raised his voice a few degrees, for fear that the two teenagers would not hear clearly: "That village is nominally an independent village, but in fact it is inextricably linked to that black dragon!" I heard that they also mediated a conflict between the Dwarven Kingdom and the black dragon. Hmph, think about how an ordinary village is qualified to mediate a dispute between a country and a dragon? I've long remembered that this was just a trick arranged by the black dragon. He himself threatens the dwarven castle, but he is afraid of the long-range ballistas on the castle and the desperate resistance and revenge of the people of the castle. So he instructed the people of the village to disguise themselves as mediators and go and bargain. And he just had to be pretentious next to him. Of course, those aristocratic lords who covet comfort will choose to exchange gold coins for peace. So that the evil reptile can get a lot of wealth without a trace of effort or risk! Well, I'm sure that's it. β
The young samurai turned to the others and asked, "Is that really the case?" If that village is really in cahoots with the evil black dragons, then we won't be polite to them! β
The rest of the mages and mages resignedly, "We have also heard of these claims, but no one can confirm them. Moreover, the people of that village have never done robbery or fraud, and the people there are quite dedicated. β
"That's just a show!" The fourth-order mage was a little annoyed that his companions didn't support him: "Haven't you thought about it? Why did the village stand on its own? It stands to reason that he should belong to the Dwarven Kingdom or the Black Dragon Castle, but in fact he has never been under the jurisdiction of either country. Isn't that very strange? And the village happens to be on the border with the James field. Isn't that clear? The village is the window for Zamoth to break into the trocaveman kingdom and obtain benefits cheaply, and it is his eyes, ears and mouthpiece! It's his puppet and accomplice! β
He spoke very excitedly, while the rest of the mages and mages remained silent, clearly disagreeing with him. So the 4th order mage became a little chattering: "I know that you are afraid that the dragon will retaliate against you, so you don't dare to tell the truth. But if you don't tell the truth now, you won't have a chance to say it in the future! Don't you want to gain wealth, honor, and status? β
When he said the last few words, a few people finally nodded: "We have also heard that the village does have some collusion with the black dragon. β
But there was still a mage who said, "Those are all rumors!" There is no clear evidence. "As he spoke, he had to argue with other people.
The young samurai impatiently interrupted their endless argument: "Alright! That's enough! We're hunting the evil black dragon right now, not arguing about that village! Now let's set out to see what the village of Dreyfus is. Whether they colluded with the black dragon or not, don't you know? Let's go! β
The group rode carefully in the night, slowly through the sparse woods, and headed into the distance. (To be continued.) )
