Chapter Seventy-Four: Gillim Hammer
"Forget it, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen! You're thinking too much, but we're getting quite a bit of it now. Rand smiled and pulled a bloody Rubik's cube out of his arms and tossed it in his hand.
This cube belonged to one of the followers of the necromancer, the seven members of the Santarim Society who invaded the Supreme Palace last night, the necromancer, and the black-robed mage in the dungeon were not able to be killed.
The pretender "Raven" committed suicide by poisoning himself after being severely injured by the Storm Queen Elaslan, and the Apostle did not participate in the battle, so naturally he did not produce the Rubik's Cube. The two assassins in the banquet hall, one was captured alive after being severely damaged, and the other was killed by the envoy of the dwarf king, and there was no Rubik's Cube.
Only in the battle in the garden, Rand and Ciel were involved, and Qin Lun finally caught up with the aftermath, and the followers of the two necromancers finally dropped a bloody Rubik's cube.
However, the main force of this battle is plot characters such as Elistine, and Qin Lun and other apostles do not contribute much, so they can't expect this bloody Rubik's Cube to produce too good things. Rand divided the other two with a broken crystal and took the ownership of the Rubik's Cube.
Early the next morning, Qin Lun and the three of them quietly left the Supreme Palace with the envoys of the Dwarf King. However, after they left the West City Gate, there was already a team waiting on the side of the avenue.
The team included Mastasia, Linda the Dragonborne, and Grand Sage Lennie, as well as Emily Silverhand, whose eyes were still swollen, and a group of silver-clad guards led by Annesilia.
"I know that you can't be trusted, so are you going to leave me?" Mastasia glared at Qin Lun with a resentful expression.
"Are you still going to follow me?" Qin Lun glanced at Elistin at the back of the team and sighed helplessly.
The elf druid pretended to be innocent and turned her face, and the highland elf would intercept her halfway outside the city, naturally because she accidentally slipped her mouth.
In fact, Qin Lun left this time, and the original companions only informed Illistin and Idria, and did not plan to bring Mastasya with them. Highland elves are harpists and often exchange information with their harpist allies. And now they have become a thorn in the side of the Santarin, and they don't want to expose their whereabouts.
"Caution is necessary, but at least say goodbye to all of us!" Linda looked injured and quipped while clutching her chest.
"Are you going to come along?" Qin Lun was slightly stunned and looked at the Great Sage of Lenny, the beauties of the Candle Castle were headed by her.
"No, Filar, Linda and I are going back to Candlekeep!" Grand Sage Lenny pushed his glasses with a look of tiredness on his face, and said with a smile, "Maybe it was Linda and I who concealed it before and couldn't get your trust, we can understand this.
However, be assured that we have no ill intentions. Silvermoon City has regained its peace, and we should go back too, this time to say goodbye. Plus, two more gifts for you and your companions. ”
Leni said, taking out a palm-sized golden skeleton from her arms and handing it to Qin Lun, "This is the undead puppet left by the necromancer of the Santarin Society on the night of the celebration, and the other one is beyond repair. Knowing that you were leaving, Erasdra erased the soul mark from it and asked me to pass it on to you. ”
"This thing...... Can I use it too? Qin Lun took this golden skeleton in surprise, he had seen the power of this thing that night, except that it had no spiritual intelligence, its physical attack and defense were excellent, comparable to high-level summons.
"Its original master-slave sigil was combined with the soul fire, and now it has dissipated. However, I used a Golem Core instead, and I had to refill it after I used it a certain number of times, and after consuming the Core Crystal, I had to refill it. ”
Leni leaned closer and whispered, "You remember to activate the spell......
Qin Lun carefully wrote down the activation spell and casually threw it into the team warehouse. As soon as he got this thing, he got a starry sky prompt. This golden skeleton is a world curiosity, but it cannot be brought into the Shattered Starry Sky and can only be used in the world of Torrell.
Thinking about it, the Golden Skull is so high-level, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to bring it into the Shattered Starry Sky. And the mission income they should get at this time has been obtained, and the starry sky will naturally no longer default to this thing as an apostle item.
"In addition, there is another gift......" Leni saw Qin Lun put away the golden skull, and took out a small black jade seal from the sleeve of the mage's robe, and pulled Qin Lun's left hand with a smile and covered the back of his hand.
A magical halo flashed on the black jade seal, causing Qin Lun to feel a slight tingling sensation on the back of his hand. He looked down and saw a candlelit castle on the top of a tower glow slightly on the back of his hand, and then quickly disappeared under his skin.
"Evidence of Candle Castle?!" Mastacia next to him raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Not bad!" Leni nodded at Mastaxia, and then said to Qin Lun, "In the future, if you travel on the continent and encounter problems in knowledge, this Candle Castle certificate may be able to give you some help." The libraries of most cities in Faeron will not refuse the borrowing request of the scholars of Candle Castle. ”
"Thank you!" Qin Lun smiled and thanked him, he understood that Leni gave him this candle castle certificate, not just to apologize for his previous behavior, it was possible that his status as an elf prince was at work.
You must know that there are a lot of books treasured by each elven court, and Lenny wants to get in touch with him, and it is estimated that there is also a potential purpose of collecting elven literature for Candle Castle in the future.
"Illistin, Idria, and Ferral, take care all the way!" Emily's red, swollen eyes were misty, and the little girl had just lost her mentor, and now her friends were leaving, which made her even more sad.
"Don't be sad, we'll come back to see you!" Idria rubbed the little girl's head and hugged her with pity.
"Prince Ferral!" Seeing everyone say goodbye one by one, Annecilia, who had been waiting at the back, finally stepped forward and asked softly, "Lord Erastro handed me the letter, and when I am ready, I will leave for the Anchor Elven Court." I don't know anything about King Tyne Quelas, though, so do you have anything to advise me? ”
"You're the messenger of the Silvermoon Alliance?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and then he was happy in his heart, he understood the intention of the Silver Moon City Lord's arrangement.
Annecilia is the henchman of the guards of the Lord of Silvermoon City, and her identity is quite special. Her mission to the Anchor Elven Court was not just for the purpose of delivering letters, it was already an official visit, and Erasdrand clearly had the intention of forming a formal alliance.
Next, as long as there are no problems on King Tyne's side of the King, when Qin Lun and the others return, the goal of the second phase of the "Star and Moon Alliance" should be achieved.
"Don't worry, King Tyne Quilas is a friendly king, and the Anchor Elven Court will retain the utmost kindness to the visitors and messengers who bring friendship, and you will complete your mission successfully."
Qin Lun said with a smile, "However, the Anker Elven Court is currently reorganizing the major Moon Elf Courts in the central and southern part of the continent, and the other surrounding forces may not want to see this qiē, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds along the way, and it is best not to reveal your identity and the purpose of the mission." ”
"I see, thank you!" The elven knight pondered for a moment and bowed in thanks.
After a short farewell, Qin Lun and his party hit the road again, and Mastasha finally joined the team. Since the highland elves followed, Qin Lun couldn't refuse this harpist master who had helped a lot.
"Ferral, Master Gillim wants to talk to you!" Lorraine rode a bantam horse and leaned towards Qin Lun's side.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he pulled his mount and walked towards the front of the team.
Gilem Brutehammer, the chief envoy of the Dwarven Legate, was the legendary powerhouse who helped Erasdra kill an Assassin on the night of the celebration. This dwarven powerhouse is in the prime of life, and he is the henchman who has followed the dwarven king Bruno in Icewind Dale for many years.
Throughout the Dwarven King's mercenary career spanning more than 300 years, the Dwarven powerhouse has always been Bruno Warhammer's most trusted companion and subordinate. Compared with the master-servant relationship, the two are more like brothers and master and apprentice.
Gillim had a large brown beard, swollen and scarred arms, and a dwarven horned helmet with gray pigtails visible underneath the helmet.
When Qin Lun walked up to him, the dwarf was struggling with the bantam under his butt. Although he was not tall, he was not lightweight in his lateral development, and with his heavy double-edged axe and steel-faced round shield, it was no surprise that the bantam would not take a step.
"Master Gillym, let this poor animal go!" Qin Lun greeted with a smile.
"Huh? Hehe, this little thing is really disobedient! Seeing Qin Lun's arrival, Jilimu jumped off the horse's back with some embarrassment and slapped the bantam's head. The bantam neighed aggrievedly, and quickly ran away from the irascible dwarf.
"Ferral? I've heard Erasdra say about you, thank you for what you've done for us! Oh, I'm not referring to the assassination in Silvermoon City, but the one you saved Lorraine! The old dwarf blew his beard and looked up at Qin Lun.
Qin Lun's heart moved, he jumped off the horse and walked with the dwarf.
"You're welcome, when we first met Lorraine, we just wanted to use the power of the Snow Peak Dwarves, after all, the Sun Elf envoys at that time lacked manpower." Qin Lun said with regret on his face, "In fact, in the Valley of the Dead, it was the sacrifice of Elder Royle and others that saved us, and the Snow Peak Dwarves don't owe us anything. ”
"Oh!" Gillimu fell silent, Qin Lun's frankness surprised him.
In fact, Erasdr had not only reminded Qin Lun, but also the dwarves about the silver-haired elves. At first impression, Gillim didn't like the black-bellied Moon Elf Prince in front of him.
Although he had promised Lorraine before, he actually didn't want Qin Lun to go to the dwarven camp.
"That'...... What do you want to do with Lorraine this time? Gillimu asked indifferently.
"We want the friendship of the Dwarven King, and I've heard from Lorraine about the Silver Chamber, and I'd like to be able to help if I can!" Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders and said frankly.
"That's it!" Gillim frowned, the elven prince's frankness made his original refusal to go with him unspeakable, he couldn't directly reject a moon elf prince instead of the dwarf king, it was no longer personal preference.
"Okay, you can go to camp with Lorraine, but it's dangerous, so don't run around." In the end, the strong dwarves had to pinch their noses and agree, even if they were a little reluctant to let them go to the camp with them.
Ending the conversation with the dwarves, Qin Lun's team channel immediately sounded with Hill and Rand's inquiries.
"Qin Lun, is that old dwarf on the lookout for us?"
"Hehe, he doesn't want us to join the plot of the Secret Silver Hall, but I've already coped with it!" Qin Lun didn't care at all, the kind dwarves were much easier to deal with than the Silver Moon City Lord. When they arrived at the dwarven camp and received the story mission, it didn't matter if Gillim agreed or not.
"Ferral, we seem to be being targeted, look at the ...... over there" The team had been walking for about half a day, and Mastasha urged the horse to get closer to Qin Lun, and reminded with a solemn face.
Following the direction indicated by Mastasia, Qin Lun turned his head to look. A few hundred meters to the left of the road, at the edge of a small grove, five hooded men on horseback were looking this way.
Seeing that Qin Lun and the others noticed him, the leader of the five people beckoned to Qin Lun and turned his horse into the woods.
