Chapter 12: The Flame Squad

Castelgate is a town with an undercurrent rush.

Located on the border between the Duchy of Stacy and the Kingdom of Falkenridge, this frontier town was nominally part of the Duchy of Stasi, but ten years ago it was the territory of Falkenridge, but fifteen years ago, it belonged to Stasi.

All in all, the town has been repeatedly contested by the two countries.

Therefore, the goal of the builders was to erect a strong wall that could withstand any attack. In the course of the war-torn history of the area, the city builders have proven to be very good at their work.

If you talk about the liveliest place in Castelgate, all the locals will tell you that it is not the square in the middle of the town, nor the market that is only open once a month, nor the town hall, but the "Drunken Dragon" tavern.

"Boss, three glasses of fruit wine, plus one glass of the strongest wine!"

"Okay, right away!"

The boss, Meg, is a bearded dwarf, with a fiery red hair color that hints at his bold personality, but there is an astonishing power in his seemingly inconspicuous body - it is said that Meg was once a seasoned mercenary, and when she made enough money, she settled down and opened a tavern.

Of course, none of this alone will make one of the most famous taverns on the borders of the Duchy of Stassy.

"There's another guy who wants to challenge my 'Dragon's Breath Spirits', hehe, I don't know how long I can last this time. ”

Muttering to herself, Meg filled three large wine glasses with clear liquor, and finally carefully brought the fourth to a small keg under the counter.

As the valve opened, a stream of crimson liquid flowed out of the barrel, and in an instant, a strange fragrance spread, causing several people sitting nearby to subconsciously sniff.

"Boss, is the dragon out of the hole again?" one of them asked with a smile.

"And this time it wants to kidnap a beautiful girl. ”

Meg filled her glass and handed four glasses to the guests who had spoken earlier—four young women with different postures.

Dragon's Breath Spirits is the treasure of this tavern. It is said to be Meg's ancestral secret recipe, which has the power to intoxicate dragons even with just one sip.

Of course, none of the dragons actually drank this kind of wine, and some people didn't get drunk after taking a sip, and Meg's explanation for this is that the recipe was damaged when it was passed down, so the Dragon's Breath spirit you drank was not really the original.

But even so, there are only a handful of people who can drink a glass of wine at once without getting drunk.

It is for this reason that many regular customers like to use the phrase "dragon out of the hole" to refer to someone who comes to challenge this wine.

"Maggie, Camila is going to show off her alcohol consumption again, is it really not going to stop?"

Watching the boss deliver the four glasses of wine to each of them, a white-robed female priest smiled and touched her teammates with her arms, a beautiful woman in a black power suit and scantily dressed.

"Don't mention it, you know, Candace, trying to persuade Camilla not to drink is as difficult as trying to persuade a wolf not to eat sheep. The female thief made a helpless expression and drank half of her fruit wine.

"It's better not to drink too much......" A blue-robed female mage objected weakly, she was still young, as if she was only eighteen years old.

"Welllet, I'm almost twice your age, so I won't make a mistake because of this!"

The blonde female warrior in light armor took off her chest guard nonchalantly, and suddenly a pair of white rabbits almost jumped out: "And I have heard about the reputation of dragon breath spirits for a long time, this time it is rare to come over, how can you not try it!"

As she spoke, she literally brought the crimson glass of wine to her lips and took a big sip.

"Wow - seriously, you should give it a try. ”

The female warrior Camilla let out an exaggerated exclamation, and her cheeks instantly flushed. I have to say that the Dragon's Breath Spirits really live up to its reputation, and even Camilla, who boasts of tasting countless wines, must admit that the feeling is unprecedented: the fragrance overflows in the mouth, and the burning sensation immediately spreads to the whole body after swallowing, but after a while, the feeling of bathing in fire begins to converge, condensing into a thick drunkenness surging over her head - there are many spirits, but a sip of three variations of spirits, Camilla is still the first time to experience.

"Uh, I'll forget it......"

As a young girl, Villelet decisively rejected the seemingly tempting offer, and the other two shook their heads after hesitating.

"After all, not everyone has the amount of alcohol you have. Maggie looked with some envy at the undrunk Camilla, whose performance caused a wave of amazement in the tavern, and decided to concentrate on her fruit wine.

Camila smiled smugly and waved her hand at the crowd: "What kind of evil dragon, there is only one way to catch it in front of me!"

"Hey, it's okay if you say this later. ”

Candace smiled a little teasingly, reminded the somewhat smug female warrior without a trace, and then raised her hand, "Boss, four rooms." ”

"Hey, our Drunken Dragon's room, as luxurious as the Dragon's Lair, to your satisfaction!"

Meg nodded again and again with a smile, these four female adventurers seem to be veterans, and from their demeanor, movements, etc., it can be seen that they have some strength and status...... In other words, you can probably make a small profit.

In fact, Meg didn't look away, and these four women were really not ordinary adventurers.

If the Wolf Warrior Team is present, they may be able to recognize that they are one of the five strongest teams in the Principality of Stasy - the fourth-ranked Flame Squad in the country!

Don't look at the members of the Flame Squad are all women, but their strength is better than that of the captain of the Wolf Warrior. Moreover, these four women have been fighting together for several years, and their tacit understanding with each other is far greater than that of other squads.

Because the adventurer profession is very risky, the vast majority of team members change frequently, which makes it difficult to cultivate a tacit understanding between team members. Sometimes, even if all the members are veterans, they will be wiped out due to miscooperation.

But the Flame Squad is different, whether they are lucky or really strong, in short, three years have passed since the establishment of this team, and none of the team members have changed.

This makes the tacit understanding between them reach a rather amazing level, so that it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the team.

The happy hour passed quickly, and in the dead of night, the four women gathered in Camilla's room.

"Well, there's no one eavesdropping nearby, and it's good to go. ”

The priestess and thieves looked around and nodded to the others.

"Well," surprisingly, the team seemed to be led by the youngest Villeret, who at the moment spread out the map on the table and pointed to the red dot marked on it, "We are not far from the Icourt Valley, and there are still about fifty kilometers to go...... If you leave early, you can expect to be there before dark tomorrow. ”

"Great, maybe we could have made it in time to spend the night in the castle. ”

Camila shrugged.

"Oh, you wouldn't want to sleep there. Think of it, a castle that has been abandoned for decades! rats, cockroaches, or something—"

"Stop!" Camilla stopped Maggie in time and surrendered with a depressed face, "You won!"

"Quiet ......" Wellright coughed embarrassedly, although they have been together for more than three years, it will be very hard to follow this group of off-line teammates......

"In short, we are going to get back the relics of Count William. The priestess Cantis was busy clearing the siege, "The last time the Wolf Warrior Team never returned, I am afraid that they encountered a strong enemy, so we must be more careful." ”

Camila shook her head nonchalantly and let out a hearty laugh: "That's why I said, even if it's an evil dragon, there is only one way to choose in front of us!"

As she spoke, she restrained her smile slightly, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of cunning: "I really want to see what monsters can resist my strange power, Maggie's shadow killing technique, Candace's advent technique, and Willett's elemental burst ...... at the same time."

At the same time, a special dinner is being held in the Ikut Valley.

"Your Excellency Lord, Raja is so touched......"

Although the goblin leader was still wearing the same simple coarse cloth clothes as he had fled, he was no longer as yellow and skinny as he had been when he had just arrived in the valley. It's not just him, but the other goblins have been doing well this month.

But compared to today, the past month has been like eating chaff - because at this moment, in the center of Hope Town, there are three whole roasted cows!

Such an abundance of meat gave the goblins the illusion of dreaming.

Of course, there is more to their surprise than that.

"Then, these goblins are also under your management, don't let me down. ”

Iroh motioned for the twenty goblins at his feet to join Raja and them, and without hearing Raja's praise, he spread his wings and flew away.

Naturally, these twenty new goblins are the same as roasted whole cows, which Iroh exchanged for faith points. Of course, the main thing is that the goblin exchange costs most of the faith points, and roasting whole beef belongs to the food category, which only requires three points in total......

Actually, Iroh didn't really want to exchange for goblins, because a strong adult goblin needed five faith points to redeem, while a normal earth elemental needed twenty-five points - you must know that ten goblins together can often defeat an earth elemental.

And the exchanged goblins don't give them faith points, even if they worship themselves like gods.

Iroh didn't want to rely too much on the contract, either. To put it bluntly, the contract is a foreign object, not his own power. Since someone could have carved the contract into their soul without their knowledge, the possibility that someone could secretly remove the contract cannot be ruled out.

It's better to say that the contract is gone, but if the things that were exchanged for the contract are gone, it will be a fatal blow......

In Eloh's opinion, faith points are only suitable for exchanging for some consumables, and must not be used as a real reliance.

If it weren't for the slow pace of building Hope Town, Iroh would never have provided a new batch of goblins.

As for the origin of these goblins?

Just make up any one, they all have complete memories and feelings anyway, and Raja doesn't dare to question himself.

Now that the goblins have been pacified, it's time to deal with the internal affairs of the Tokamaks.

Iroh cast his gaze to a point in the distance, where the Black Dragon Brothers and the newly joined Blue Dragon were waiting for the appearance of their boss.

Counting the time, the disappearance of those adventurers should also attract the attention of the human side, right?

Iroh narrowed his eyes slightly, and if he guessed correctly, he quickly ...... It's time for the members of the Tokamak faction to show their worth.
