Chapter 65: Old Friends
Riverwood is the closest village to the Violet King's capital, and as the name suggests, Riverwood is next to a rushing river and a vast pine forest, which is where the name Kawaki Town comes from. It is located halfway up the White Mountain, and when you look down from here, you can already see the violet royal capital lying quietly on the plain like a giant beast in the wilderness
A winding gravel path leads to the village.
Dia: "You are wanted by Sgretel, does the Violet Kingdom know?"
"Should know. “
"What is the relationship between the Iris Kingdom and the Violet Kingdom?"
"Very well, they also proposed to marry one of the king's daughters to the Cransom family, but I refused. ”
"This shouldn't be, if the Violet Kingdom knew that you were wanted, it should have sent someone to pick you up a long time ago, why haven't you seen a single figure until now. “
Harbert touched his head and said, "I don't know." “
"I don't know? Didn't you go to the Violet King to seek refuge? You didn't even know the official attitude of the Violet Kingdom, so you dared to run there?"
Hubbert explained, "We are seeking refuge in the Violet Kingdom, where there are powerful mages and Avna has something he should be interested in, and in exchange he will shelter Avna or ask for Avna to be his apprentice. “
"Powerful mage?"
"Yes, Archmage Graham, rumored to have become a legendary mage. ”
Claire couldn't help but interject: "The legendary mage is estimated to be unlikely, it should be a quasi-legendary mage." ”
Dia wondered, "How do you know?"
Claire glanced at him: "There is a characteristic of the low demon plane, that is, there are almost no legendary mages, because the low demon plane is not qualified to join the multiverse plane community, and the Travelers Association will not waste manpower and material resources to establish a plane teleportation array on the low demon plane, so there is a serious lack of communication between the low demon plane and the outside world, resulting in many mages who can only rely on themselves to study super magic and spell expertise." ”
"Even if a mage's intelligence, magic strength, and the amount of spells mastered can reach the legendary level, but because of the lack of more important spell expertise, the actual combat power is far inferior to that of a real legendary mage, and can only be regarded as a 'quasi-legendary mage', and the same is true for other legendary professionals. ”
"And even if a gifted, super-talented mage can become a true legend with his own efforts, he will choose to leave the barren lower demon plane and go to the middle demon or high demon plane to seek higher development. “
"These spell specialties are not so easy to master, so in the middle or high demon plane, most quasi-legendary mages will join a multiverse organization or association, in order to obtain information to learn spell specialties, and make themselves a real legend, and the low demon plane lacks communication with the outside world, so they can only rely on their own exploration. ”
"But if a quasi-legendary mage can protect you, at least you will be safe in this lower demon plane. ”
Seeing that Claire was showing off her knowledge again, Dia responded very unhappily: "In case Graham arrives at the legend, he just wants to stay here." “
"A professional without ambition can never become a legendary powerhouse. ”
"What level did you belong to in the plane you were in?"
"It's barely a high demon plane. ”
"How many legends are there in the High Demon Plane?"
Claire thought for a moment, "Remember how many hyenas we just met?"
"There are only five legends in the High Demon Plane?"
"That's the legendary number of a weak association or organization. ”
......
A tavern in Riverwood Town.
Haber ordered a table full of sumptuous food to reward everyone for the hardships and hardships they had along the way.
Looking at Dia and Claire, who were feasting, he took off the magic ring on his index finger, put it in front of Dia, and said, "This is one of the rewards promised to you before." “
Dia poured a sip of delicate ale wine and swallowed the baked lamb chops in her mouth: "Forget it, all the property of that evil mage is with us, and there is no shortage of money now." As she spoke, Dia shook the magic ring on his right finger.
Hubbard's expression was grim, and he said stubbornly: "That's the spoils you deserve, and this is what we have agreed on a long time ago." “
"Avna and I would never have been here without you. ”
As he spoke, Harbert didn't care what he was going to say, and simply shoved the magic ring into Dia's palm.
Come on, just take it, anyway, for this second generation of officials and the second generation of riches, this money is probably nothing.
"The green dragon was only ten yards above my head at the time! It had a mouth, and more than half of Sgretel's cavalry were dead!"
"Money is above, do you understand what it's like for an adult green dragon to fly past your scalp!"
"Garivimane, so the green dragon saved you?" the tavern burst into laughter, "Can you make it up a little more fake, a green dragon from the evil camp will be kind enough to defeat the Sgretel cavalry to save you?Save a green-skinned goblin?" is the funniest joke I've heard this year. ”
Garivimane jumped on the stool in a fit of rage, pointing at the lizardman who was laughing at him and screaming, "Lady of Fortune, I promise you that everything I say is true." “
The lizardman responded, "Forget it, Garivimane, the goddess of wealth doesn't trust a believer who only believes in him when he makes money. ”
Dia and Claire glanced at each other, not expecting to meet an old friend here.
After arguing with the tavern for a while, Garivimane sat down on his stool in a dejected manner, as if he had given up his argument.
"Hey, look here, friend. “
Garivimane looked up, and the voice seemed familiar.
When he saw Dia, his face was slightly stunned, and he didn't expect to meet here.
He jumped down from the stool, ran over in surprise, and unceremoniously picked up the exquisite ale on the table that no one had drunk, and poured it into his mouth with a clatter, not knowing whether he was surprised to see Dia or the ale on the table.
"It's good to see that you're not dead. Garivimane burped, and it was hard to believe how the belly of a green-skinned goblin shorter than Dia could hold half a gallon of ale.
"Where's the tiger man?"
"Except for the two of us, the caravan has been wiped out, and the goods have been lost on the grassland, and he is now busy explaining to the Lucky Rabbit's Foot Chamber of Commerce higher-ups. ”
"Why don't you come with him?"
Hearing this, Garivimane angrily slammed the ale on the wooden table.
"That bastard tiger man has done so many things without me, it's good if I don't stuff the explosive bomb into his ** and detonate it, and you still want to expect me to be punished with him?"
"After all, the head of the caravan is him, and he has nothing to do with me! Lao Tzu can give him thirty-two gold coins as a pension, it is already for the sake of our nearly twenty years of acquaintance, that is all the money I have saved over the years!!" Garivimane looked regretful, as if he hated why he had a soft heart at that time and gave him all the money.
"I have great sympathy for what happened to you. ”
"But now I have a problem that I need your help with. ”
Garivimane glanced at Dia and asked, "What is the difficulty, I will do my best to help if I can, after all, if it were not for you, the green dragon would not have appeared, maybe we would have to stay on the grassland with the goods." ”
"My friend and I want to enter the Violet Royal Capital, can you do this?" Dia said his purpose, after all, if any random person can enter the royal capital of a kingdom, it will already be chaotic, and Hubbert and Avna don't want to reveal their identities, although sooner or later they will be exposed, but at least not yet, so as not to have any accidents when looking for Graham.
Dia pondered that since Garivimane was running a caravan, there should be a way to send a few people in, which was also the purpose of his name Garivimane.
"No problem, wrap it up on me, I and the guards guarding the door see each other more times a day than my wife, and they are very familiar, so it's no problem to let you in. ”
"Isn't it...... You'll have to pay for the cost of getting through the guards, but if you can afford to buy ten copper cups of fine ale, this will be no problem for you. ”
