"You're good enough, but I've been worried that the saliva will fall crookedly and drip on the merchant. ”

The crooked mouth is full of praise for the dragon illusion that One-Eye has just pulled out - the guy who is obviously blind in one eye and has to find a place to hold a cup when he drinks can produce such a realistic illusion.

"You kid did a good job, and you learned the sound of the crackling planks really well. Hey hey"

For the dubbing effect made by the crooked mouth, One-Eye also affirmed it - with a big mouth like a crooked melon and cracked dates, it is breathable and leaky when he speaks, but he actually simulates the voice vividly.

After Kumat had met with the commissioner of the Obsidian Council, the two guys followed the merchant and his bodyguards to the chamber's temporary inn, and that's where the scene began.

That's right, everything is an illusion trick made up by One-Eyed and Crooked Mouth.

After investigating and learning what this "quasi-nobleman" who was in the business of breeding and selling camel beasts was going to do, the two of them immediately realized that this was a good time.

If Kumat chooses to reconcile with the dragon Pasha after being threatened, then the benefits brought by this merchant to Quis can be regarded as a "meeting gift" between the two brothers, and conversely, Kumat's net worth can be used as a "vote for name".

Because I am worried that it will affect other people, which will cause unnecessary trouble. One-Eyed and Crooked Mouth wisely chose to use illusions, and the two of them put on a "show" that made the big businessman feel intimidated.

And soon, Kumat made his choice - to defend himself with bodyguards who formed an impenetrable wall, and the big merchants hurried to the power center of Nome City.

Originally, his position was inclined to the Obsidian Council, "one cannot betray one's own class", but at this time he remembered the second half of the sentence - "one cannot betray one's own heart".

"The heart of human beings is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Quest picked up the biological exoskeleton combat suit made by Sneijder, and experienced the power bonus of the "Five Tigers" in it, "The weak choose to cling to the strong, and the strong choose to make themselves stronger." ”

"According to you, the motivation to become stronger, or the motivation of human beings, is actually due to some kind of fear?" "The steampunk half-lich said in a phrase that only philosophers use, as he debugs his work, "Fear of the unknown?"

Quest experimented a little, and with a jab, there was nothing wrong with the biological exoskeleton combat suit except for a broken "colony muscle".

The young blue dragon nodded with satisfaction, "It's not all the fear of the unknown, the fear of humans is always mixed with some traces of inherent cognition. After speaking, he pointed to the combat uniform on his body, and instructed Sneijder: "Add hideous steel parts to this set of equipment, and then give it a bright name." Although it does not have any practical effect, the buyer will feel more powerful when looking at it, and will be more willing to spend more silver Kate. ”

They were originally busy working on technical problems related to the "Flying Behemoth", but due to the approach of the buying conference, more and more businessmen came to Nome City.

Ques and his Spell Advisors had to take some time off to tweak the upcoming bio-exoskeleton suit, which would be the main profitable product.

Just as their work was about to be completed, the military attache outside the door received news that someone had asked to see them.

Passing through the newly built inner gates and standing before the dragon Pasha, Kumat began to wonder if it was wise for him to surrender empty-handed. He had found a good reason for this, but he knew very well in his heart that he had been betrayed by his own cowardice.

"The king of the dragons, the interceptor of the U-sans, the great Pasha who rules over the earth, the sky, and all the Medici who live in it, greet you from Kumat, an honest merchant, a noble son-in-law, and heir of Shech. ”

Using a set of etiquette that he had practiced for a long time to fully master, the great merchant greeted the dragon Pasha as a sign of respect. Then he said the real purpose of this trip:

"I hope Your Excellency will give me a chance to mend my ways. Although someone from the Obsidian Council came to force me to collude with a few peers in advance to raise the purchase price of the Sand Rhino Caravan, it was not actually successful......

So that's what happened. Previously, Santos reported that "camel breeders with aristocratic backgrounds tried to control the transaction price", and at that time Quest speculated that the matter had something to do with the Obsidian Council.

But unexpectedly, the businessman actually came to "turn himself in" in person. Moreover, the merchant named Kumat was very afraid of himself, and looking at his expression, it was as if he was afraid of being eaten alive.

Out of curiosity, the young blue dragon uses psychic abilities to constantly induce Kumat. It wasn't until the other party had a conflict with the obsidian councillor and had made it clear about the encounter with the "dragon" in the inn that Quest used hints to make the merchant feel that he had just been "touted" to the Pasha, and he left with peace of mind.

"It looks like someone is helping us. The steampunk half-lich, who had been behind the pillar, stepped out and communicated with the young blue dragon, "Maybe it's not helping us, it's just trying to frame the Obsidian Council." ”

This drow-born undead creature has a high racial talent for identifying intrigues.

But for Quis, it doesn't matter if it's a conspiracy, anyway, the worst thing for him is the "knife" in "borrowing a knife to kill". He could take advantage of this opportunity to test why this Obsidian Council was deliberately targeting him, could it be that it was because he had cut the stubble of leeks of the Egu family?

Seeing the skeletal laborers who had been working on the construction site of the Super Bazaar suddenly gather together and walk in unison towards the neighborhood, the brothers One-Eyed and Crooked-Mouthed immediately realized that the Pasha had received a "great gift" from them.

The two bandit-born fellows immediately quickly put together their equipment, pretended to be panicked, ran to the commissioner's apartment, and knocked on the door fiercely. As a young day, the young Obsidian Council mage let visitors into the room.

"Sir, I must warn you. One-Eyed entered, carefully avoiding the carpet in front of the door—a slight sneer from the young mage, "I see the skeletons of the servants coming toward this neighborhood, the evil colorless dragon and his men must have nailed us, we must leave immediately!"

The young mage pulled out a pinch of silver powder from the inside pocket of his dark brown coat, plus some alder cysts, and immediately drew energy from the obsidian orb he carried with him, prompting the detection spell that had been arranged in advance in the nearby house.

"Hiss" ...... The noble mage couldn't help but gasp when he saw a large number of skeleton laborers picking up all kinds of tools and slowly walking towards his apartment in the form of undead warriors.

"We can't hesitate, we must evacuate immediately!" One-Eye said to the commissioner, and in the other man's opinion, his only remaining eye was even in danger of bursting out, "We can't ride on the flying carpet, that thing can't outrun the dragon." Now I can only escape from the encirclement, and then think about other things, I have sent Crooked Mouth upstairs to prepare. ”

I have to say that One-Eye's consideration is very thorough. Racing with flying carpets and dragons in the sky, there is no chance of winning at all. "What do you want to do?" the young mage asked the one-eyed and crooked brothers how to do it, weighing the possibility of rushing out with a spell bombardment. "Why do you need to go to the roof to break out?"

"We use ziplines. At this time, Crooked Mouth also ran down the stairs, and he gestured to One-Eye, "I have already set up a ropeway on the roof of the building, and this rope has been magical, and it will not attract the attention of others for half an hourglass." There are only a few skeletons and city guards yet, and if we wait for all the mages to join, we won't be able to evacuate quickly!"

After listening to the crooked narration, the young mage did not doubt him, and quickly put away his package and climbed onto the roof with the two of them.

The apartment was already four stories high, and Crooked Mouth had just come up and inserted a long pole into the cloak of the roof, and it was firmly tied to the roof ornament that was a fixture. The rope that sets up the zipline is tied to the top of the long pole.

"Is this sturdy?" asked the young mage, looking at the height between the roof and the ground.

Hearing this, the crooked mouth seemed to have some emotion. The sand bandit-turned-illusionist took off his robe, revealing the muscles of his arms, pulled through the rigging with the deceleration knot, held it with one hand, and quickly walked away along the zipline's cable.

Seeing this, One-Eye and the commissioner of the Obsidian Council laughed at each other, and also escaped into the distance through the erected cable. The two brothers proved the feasibility of rappelling and the sturdiness of the cable.

By this time, the shouts of the Nome City Watch to drive away the citizens of the surrounding neighborhood had been heard, and the young mage knew that if he continued to hesitate, he would probably be forced to fight the soldiers, and he would have to leave immediately.

He put the last of the rigging left by One-Eye and Crooked Mouth on the cable, and used the dangling rope to wrap around his weak arm a few times—in case his hand slipped, or he couldn't hold on and fall.

After doing this, he jumped out of the roof and slid down the cable. But what he didn't know was that his rigging was not only not tied with a knot for deceleration, but even stained with some tung oil to lubricate it.

Therefore, after the young mage hung the whole person on the cable, under the effect of his own gravity, he continued to accelerate his downward spiral. Fortunately, when he was about to land, he found a small patch of sand under his feet, but his hands were still so tightly tied by ropes that he couldn't move at all.

I wanted to chant a few spells to solve the problem, but in a hurry, I bit my tongue. The commissioner of the Obsidian Council could only try to curl up at the last minute to protect himself.

It seems that luck favored him again, and the damage that should have been done by a hard landing did not appear too much. He propped himself up and felt the pain he felt from the bruises all over his body. "Hurry up and help me!" the young mage made a rare plea.

"I'm afraid not, sir. One-Eye's characteristic tone reappeared, "There's really quicksand under your feet right now." ”
