According to Kojo's description, the huge mechanical platform that appeared on Lake Calbey appeared not long ago, but it took a lot of effort on both sides to realize that this was more than 20 years ago... Twenty years is really not a long time for Kojo...

Kou Qiao also determined the relationship between the mechanical platform and the free city through a little clue, it was quite accidental, the shadow of a person can occasionally be seen on the mechanical platform, and none of them are even species near Lake Galbe, as an excellent collector of the Ancestral Turtle Clan, Kou Qiao recognized those people as a race called trolls, which is a variant of the ogre.

"Not so long ago", Kojo discovered that there were many goblins in the Free City, and that the owner of the Chamber of Commerce was also a goblin. It can be said that in Hidden Lan, the combination of goblins and ogres is very common, ogres are tall and strong, but their brains are not very good, and goblins are no different in size from dwarfs, but they have a lot of ghost ideas. The emergence of this combination can only be said that the pressure of survival makes them have to cooperate with each other and learn from each other's strengths.

It is for this reason that Kojo swims from Lake Calbey to Free City, and he hates the black liquid that leaks from the mechanical platform, and gives him the name of Demon Blood, because the damage to the ecology caused by Demon Blood is so serious that even in the water, the fish and shrimp wrapped in Demon Blood and even the same kind of Coqiao may not be able to breathe, and finally be suffocated to death.

As Moon explains, Kojo connects goblins and mechanical platforms through the relationship between trolls and ogres, between ogres and goblins, and the architectural style of mechanical platforms and goblins. He's here to find out what interests are at stake and how to stop the platform from continuing to operate.

"It turns out that the elders are still ecological fighters, and they are disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Well, it's just doing what I can, and even if I figure it out, I can't seem to do anything about it. Kou Qiao replied with a slight smugness.

"What about the elders' children?"

"Hey~~!" Kou Qiao's expression darkened, "I have four sons, don't mention it, now I only have a little grandson by my side..."

Who doesn't have a difficult scripture to read, Moon decided not to get to the bottom of it, "What's the little guy's name?" Kou Qiao's grandson was outside the store at this time, stretching his neck to make small talk to Haven.

"Doramida. Kou Qiao said with some smugness.

"What about Dora's squint?"

"What are you talking about?, new language?" Kojo had never heard of before.

"Why is that name?" Moon coughed dryly, feeling that he shouldn't be naughty about other people's names.

"Hey. Kojo expertly pulls out his cigarette... Give yourself a point, so that Moon is blind, and subconsciously looks at Heidi, and Heidi makes a V gesture. Quesas's tobacco and alcohol business has become a little more influential.

"I used to have four sons, named Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci. Later, they left me for various reasons, and I named my grandson this name in honor of them. Cojo said, spitting out a smoke ring.

Moon was a little messy, if Kou Qiao was a rat again, wouldn't he be able to put up with the rope turtle?

"It's also a reminder to myself not to make the same mistakes. ”

"Huh?" From Kocho's pained expression, Moon could somewhat understand the other party's mood, it was a... Remorse.

"Speaking of which, you're from that forest, aren't you?" Kou Qiao obviously didn't want to bring up the sad things again, and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Yes, elder. We are the people of Quesas. Originally, the head of the Chamber of Commerce here, the goblin, asked us to help fight the Naga, so he came here. It's just that the other party's attitude seems to have changed now. ”

"Oh... That's right. After hearing this, Kou Qiao just nodded and said, "Speaking of which, your position is really good." ”

"Elder mean Deep Blue Forest?"

"Deep Blue Forest? oh yes, that's the forest. I remember that it used to be called the Forest of Divine Blessings, but then you dark elves changed its name, and it became a deep blue forest, and now it has changed again, and I forgot what it was called. ”

"God bless?" Moon smiled nonchalantly, "It must be a magical land, right?"

"No, when I was young, I heard people say during my journey that there are powerful guardians in that forest, but there is no treasure. Over time, no one wanted to approach it. ”

"...... "Guardians?" Moon thought about it carefully, it didn't seem that he had encountered any powerful protectors, Gruba was counted? Don't be funny, when Kocho was young, how many years ago did it take for Gruba and the dark elves to be driven to Hidden Lan, only a thousand years.

"Wait a minute!" Kou Qiao was spitting out his eyes, and suddenly reacted as if he had something, and yelled, "What did you just say?"

"Uh... It's supposed to be a magical land?"

"No, go further. ”

"We are here to negotiate against Naga at the request of the head of the chamber of commerce?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Kou Qiao moved a few times, got down from his chair, quickly closed the door of the antiquities shop, and said, "The head of the chamber of commerce, Gary Vickers?"

"Yes. ”

"Why would he fight Naga?"

"Huh?" Hearing Kocho ask, Moon also felt that there was something wrong, it seemed that there was a deviation between the two sides in the sharing of some key information. "Why not? Naga's landing on the shore has done a lot of damage here, he said to protect his property..."Wait a minute, Moon suddenly thought of a question, Garry Vix is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, and he is also known as the king of trade, this city is his property is good, but...

"But I've seen Naga a lot on that mechanical platform. ”

"......" Moon and Heidi, Emma looked at each other, and the three of them realized the problem at the same time, and the strange sense of disobedience when they first arrived in Free City also made sense.

Garry Vickers had been cooperating with Naga for a long time! The property he wanted to protect was not the city! Although the inhabitants of the Free City had closed their shops, there was no mass exodus, which was completely inconsistent with the mentality of facing the Naga army ashore, unless, they knew that they would lose at most a few things, and they would never risk their lives. It makes sense that although there is a slight depression in the city, there is not much panic.

Gary Vickers's character is relatively easy to grasp, judging from the way he speaks, treats people and interior decoration style, this is a selfish villain who loves luxury, knows how to enjoy, and regards property as everything. And such a man, who contacted the Naga as a reason, and then calculated that the development momentum was good, must be because his property was under greater threat.

Combined with what Kocho had seen, it was likely that the mechanical platform could bring much more benefits to Gary Vix than this isolated city, so he had to risk that Quezas would raze the Free City to the ground after defeat, and also keep the mechanical platform.

Emma became puzzled and asked, "In that case, shouldn't he have met us at the first time, and then made arrangements as soon as possible, and then contacted Naga to make military arrangements for our planned plan? Unless...?

"Unless you want more, bigger. Heidi looked at Moon, "And there are more and greater temptations than destroying the living forces of Quezas." Heidi didn't go on, it was self-explanatory.

"Heh, it looks like our identities have been revealed. Moon laughed self-deprecatingly, and it was clear that taking out Moon Black, who was now the symbol of Quesas, would be more effective than eliminating any number of new forces. Without Moon, to whom would the Guards be allegiance?Without Moon, how would the aliens be reassured of the Dark Elves?Without Moon, what reason would the Cabinet, Gruba, Caesar, and others continue to get together?

Gary Vickers hung them out, and when they did, he said that he would readjust the plan, and all this was just to drag Moon and the others, so it was no wonder that Haven warned that someone was following. Presumably... The city of freedom is now like a birdcage.

"Young man, it seems that you are also a big man, could it be that you are the owner of the forest?" Kou Qiao dropped the cigarette butt and patted his shell, his voice a little dull.

"Big shots? It's just struggling to survive. "Even if he killed the two Elemental Lords and defeated Valcanor, Moon still knew one thing. His strength may be okay, but in front of a real powerhouse, it's still a little insufficient, so he needs a door... Whether it's for herself or for Luo Xia.

"Grandpa!"

"My lord!" Haven kicked the door open, "My lord, something is wrong. The store is being surrounded. ”

Dorameda followed Haven with her short legs, a little unhappy to see that what she was about to say was robbed.

"I'm sorry for you, sir. Moon bowed, "Let's leave, and if there is any loss after that, I will send someone to compensate according to the price." With that, Moon left the relic shop with Emma and Heidi.

I thought that the disguise of the few of them was perfect, but I didn't expect them to see through it in the first place? Was it someone in Quezas who was colluding with Gary Vickers? Or was it some other reason? Heidi avoided the topic, and Moon thought it was right. If the investigation starts from within Quesas, it will have a great impact on the trust between the various tribes in Quezas, especially the Moon Temple controlled by Emma, and now it has its own cathar, and it is good to control it in the hands of Moon and Emma, but whether the fanatics will weigh things rationally, the answer is needless to say.

Moon, who walked out of the artifact shop, didn't need to ask Haven if there were a few people on the other side, what race it was...

Perhaps seeing that his actions had been exposed, a large number of strange humanoid creatures armed with giant clubs rushed out from all directions. Moon doesn't recognize the creature... But uncontrollable saliva, rudimentary weapons, and a height of more than two meters, these external characteristics give him the feeling that he is strong and simple-minded, just as the ancestor turtle Koqiao said...

"It's a troll!" Cojo's voice remembered from the artifact shop.

I have to say that Moon is quite concerned about the location of this cultural relics store, Free City is a city built by the river, artificially opened up several water canals into the city, the cultural relics store happens to be in the back of the water canal, relatively sparsely populated blocks, and the buildings on both sides and in front of it are not dense, very good, very interesting.

"Meat~~!It's them!!! for the meat" The tall, yellow troll pointed at Moon with a hammer full of iron spikes.

At this moment, Moon had the illusion that the main composition of this free city should not be these stupid-looking guys, and the relic shop was like the center of a vortex, gathering the trolls from all directions.

Haven has already entered the battle mode with the guards, and Haven, who has been accustomed for a long time, will never be surprised by the combat effectiveness of the guards again. The Pro-Guard are fanatical followers of Moon selected from all branches of the military, and individual strength and loyalty have absolute selection criteria, but there is an additional condition, that is, there is not much prospect for development in terms of conduct or strategy and tactics.

Otherwise, if we draw out all the outstanding personnel of all branches of the military, then what else can we do? Strong soldiers, generals, and handsome talents are all indispensable to a unit, but Queshas is not very short of strong and powerful soldiers, and those who have the potential to lead the troops should stay in the army.

The current situation is relatively simple and clear, in addition to the cultural relics shop behind it, it can be said that he is attacked on three sides, Haiwenjia is personally guarded, there are a total of eleven people, so what tactics are you talking about?

The information on the goggles made Emma and Heidi not very panicked, the other party's level was not high, only about forty, Heidi pinched the two hammers in her hands, and set up the four series of totems as always, but Heidi, who had just set up the totem, frowned.

Emma, who was born as a storm priest, showed her true face neatly, since it was all exposed, there was still any need to hide it, and after adding a set of buffs to Heidi and herself, while the distance was still enough, Emma planned to try her water magic... It's just that his brows are equally furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Moon asked, also holding his bow in his hand. It was only when he shot an arrow that he realized the problem.

"The buff is effective, but its duration is drastically shortened, and attack magic is almost unusable. "Emma's water magic wasn't as brilliant as she had hoped, but it wasn't bubbling at all.

"Yes. It seems that it has something to do with it. Heidi said, looking up at the sky, pointing at the translucent shroud that encased the Free City like the lid of a pot.

Level 70 Emma and Heidi can actually destroy the trolls in front of them relatively easily, and the adaptability of magic and various elements gives them this ability, but the heavenly cover makes this ability to ravage the enemy ineffective, or temporarily invalid, and the situation is a little weird.

Whether it is a mage, a shaman, or a priest, their strength lies in the mastery and exertion of elemental abilities, and if this ability is removed, their physical strength is not necessarily much stronger than that of a level 40 warrior, and they may even be far inferior to a low-level warrior due to long-term meditation, study and other factors.

This is why Elemental Power users usually have a lot of shield spells, as well as life-saving skills.

Emma and Heidi are storm priests and shamans, and theoretically if they are stripped of their elemental powers, they can only wait to die in the face of strong creatures like trolls, and with the huge number of trolls, their physical strength is completely unable to keep up and cannot hold on.

But Emma and Heidi are not false at this time, they found that although the attack magic is ineffective, the buff is still effective, so Emma twisted her waist, flew with six knives, and killed all sides under the cover of the guards.

Moon was relatively unaffected, and it was only relative, and he felt that the power in his body was very abundant, but he couldn't release it, which made him understand one thing, although his power was not magical, it was also in line with the characteristics of elemental power, and it was not an invincible, bug that ignored all rules.

Without the blessing of "qi", the lethality can only be achieved by the weight of the arrow and the toughness of the bowstring. This moment made Moon feel that it was more difficult to understand himself than to understand everything about Yinlan. Yes, it's all about his experience, how he behaved, and so on, and there was nothing about the source of his strength and cultivation methods. Moon summed it up by saying that there weren't enough doors to collect.

The battle gradually changed from an encirclement war to a breakthrough war... From the trolls surrounding Moon and his party to Emma, Heidi bursts into the troll herd...

It is useless to hold on to a small space in place, and if the first condition is to destroy the opponent's combat power, the assault is more effective. Moon thinks that this kind of translucent cover will definitely not last long, otherwise there will be no need to fight, and the mages will be unemployed.

Under the personal guard, Moon, who supported Emma and Heidi with bows and arrows, was a little worried, and with the current intensity of the conflict, Emma and Heidi were afraid that they would not be able to hold out for long.

"Hush. "Amaddo slashed at the same place as the trolls, cutting them in half, and in the course of the battle, she found that these trolls also have the ability to regenerate, although the effect is not very strong, and it is also very annoying!

Emma's style of play is still very smart, all six of her hands have weapons, which is actually not very useful in defense, but rushing into the enemy pile like now can give full play to the lethality, and it is too worry-free to not think about whether she will be injured by mistake, as for how she can ensure her vision without three heads, Emma, as a storm priest, is not difficult to judge the position by borrowing the flow of airflow.

She was like a whirlwind of blades, stirring up waves of blood in the torrent of trolls.

Heidi is relatively much more difficult, without the response of the elements, it is really a little powerless to enhance the shaman, even if the brain power is outstanding, Heidi can't change the title of mobile honor.

Heidi instinctively felt bad when she dodged a hammer, and the sound of "bang" breaking through the air came to her ears, and Heidi looked in the direction of the sound, a goblin riding on the neck of a troll, the barrel of a gun in his hand was smoking.

"Cut. "It's too late to hide!Is it so hard to justify mobile honor!?

"Boom!" "Ding!"

An arrow slashed across Heidi's face, and she could even feel a faint burning sensation on her skin. Moon used the cover of the guards to snipe the goblins with one arrow or even three arrows, and what Haven and the guards had to do was to stop all the trolls that approached and wait for that arrow.

Small neighborhoods are filled with trolls, and in the wave of trolls, a semi-circular position is held in place, and the feathered arrows fired from the phalanx are all right in the eyes of the trolls or goblins. Only a blood-colored thorn bloomed in the wave, unstoppable.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Heidi withdrew to Moon's side, shaking her head and sighing, "There was a side that was completely crushed by her." ”

The corpses in front of the guards were piled higher and higher, which also made them have to move a little bit towards the relic shop behind them, in case the other party jumped over the guards with the corpses.

"Ahhh

Even if the elemental power is temporarily disabled, it is still a slaughter-like situation, and it will eventually stop with the consumption of physical strength. At the same time, it also stopped with the opening of the door of the antiquities shop.

"Come on, come in!" Kojo carefully observed the position of the trolls, and quickly opened the door, Emma tilted her head to signal her to come to the palace, Moon ordered the guards to take Heidi into the hall first, and he covered Emma to pull into the store with him.

Emma slashed down the two trolls that were catching up, turned around and rushed through the gate with Moon. The moment Emma entered the store, Kojo patted the shell on the back, and in the courtyard outside the relic store, a huge turtle shell popped out of the ground, holding the entire artifact store in it, and the roar of the trolls outside and the sound of weapons hitting the turtle shell were endless.

"Could it be Moon Black?" Kocho walked to the door, listened with his ear to the door for a moment, and nodded to Moon.

"Yes. It was me. ”

"I didn't expect that the little shop had the honor of hosting the Lord of Quesas, what an honor. This must be Mrs. Emma, right?"

"I'm sorry, because it was inconvenient before, so I didn't use my real name, forgive me, elders. Emma said with some embarrassment, who knows if the tough woman who shouted Quezas before would have this expression?

"Thank you to the elderly for reaching out to us in times of need. Moon glanced at Haven, who nodded and asked the guards to rest on the spot, and the cultural relics store, which was not too big itself, was crowded into more than a dozen people at once, and it still seemed a little lacking in space.

Dorameda was obviously a little scared, and her little short legs were shaking all the time, but she was still busy bringing water and handing towels to the guards.

"Elder, it's not a way to go on like this, they'll attack sooner or later. Otherwise, let's get out of here, and we'll get out of here, and we'll save you trouble. ”

Listening to Moon's words, Kojo shook his head and said, "It's still too late, even if you leave, Gary Vickers will still make trouble for me." If I had been afraid of that, I wouldn't have let you in. ”

"Thanksgiving. Heidi and Emma said at the same time.

"As the old saying goes, you have to be guarded. I had envisioned this situation before, but it was for robbers and bandits and the like, but I didn't expect that this time it would be a thug from the Chamber of Commerce. "The combination of trolls and goblins is so convincing.

"Hey, hey. Kou Qiao patted his shell and said, "Fortunately, I took precautions! I prepared an escape route!"
